RECENT REVEALS.
Important "A aIrenin9s" Are Stirring
Many Cities in the Country.

In this country notable revivais
within a year have stirred several OF
our largest cities, among them Los An
geles, Keokuk, Denver (where one day
the Legislature adjourned on account
Of the meeting), Dayton, Louisville.
Atlanta, Schenectady. Jacksonville and
Kansas City. In most of these cities
the active leadership has been taken
by the Evangelistic Committee of the
General Assembly presbyterian. The
chairman of this committee is John ii.
Converse. the President of the Baldwin
Locomotive Works, who has put into
it's operations the energy, system anG
pecuniary resources which mark the
conduct of a great business corpora
ton, with results which have made
an epoch in evangelism. His executive
genius has been fifty matched by the
spiritual leadership Of the chief evan
gelist, the Rev. ]. Wilbur Chapman.
d. D., who has evinced an eXtraordi-
nary aptitude for a national movement
of this sort.
An important "awakening"-f
such those engaged in the movement
choose to call it rather than IRE
vival'-is meantime gathering force
and volume in the Congregational
Church, growing out Of the recent visit
of a London nonconfOrmist minister,
the Rev. w. ]. Dawson. At the ma
tional council (COngregationaD at Des
Moines, Mr.. Dawson spoke with such
effect that an evangelistic committee
was created with DR.. Hills, of Ply
mouth Church, Brooklyn, as chairman.
to organize and conduct national
campaign. This is now in full ope
ration, with Mr.. Dawson as the central
figure. The distinguishing thought is
the value of solid foundations Of right
eousness, rather than emotionalism.
But to this intoxicating Of a revival OF
duty and honor is joined a zeal for
Christian service. Mr. Dawson eX
presses it thus: "As we have sought
and found, SO it is now our turn to
seek and to find" A practical illus
tration of this hunger for souls" was
furnished during the fortnight's cam
paign in Boston, when, one night, dis
tinguished presidents of theological
Summaries, leading pastors, bankers
and merchants, and ladies of high So
cial rank. fell in behind the band of
the Salvation Army and marched
through the slums, gathering in the
outcasts for a midnight meeting in
one of the largest halls of the city

of this is as follows:
Two men, an Indian and a white

the time came there was no difficulty
in apportioning the smaller birds and
animals-one of a kind to each At
last they reached the last pair, a crow
and a turkey.
Now said the white man, with a

Nigeria, where the bush is continuous,
pheasants do not fly at all. Partridges
in England move TO and from their
feeding grounds; but they love to skim
the earth, to whose tint they are col

for safety. Moorhens prefer not to fly

Is there one link within the past

As that which / can pledge to thee?
Does there within thy dimmest dreams

Wherein thy life could henceforth breathe
Untouched, unshared by mine?

O tell me, before all is lostl

Within thy inmost soul
That thou hast kept a portion back
While / have staked the whole.

But in true mercy tell me so.
Is there within thy heart need
That mine cannot FULFILL
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak now, lest at some future day
My whole life wither and decay.
Lives there within thy nature hid

On all things new and strange?

But shield my heart against Thy own.

Wilt surely warn and save me now.
