even among the illiterate miners and
day laborers at the collieries Evan
Roberts has been addressing vast con-
gregations with persuasive eloquence
that has stirred their very souls, but
there has been no record of the hysteric
outbursts that have accompanied for
mer reviVals in the same locality.
There has been marked avoidance Of
sensational effects in the methods of
this powerful young Welsh evangelist.
In England the American mtssiona-
ries have promptly discountenanced any
attempt to make their meetings spec
tacular. Dwight l.. Moody was the
first evangelist who tried successfully
to eliminate the emotional element
from revival meetings, and DR.. Torrey
is equally insistent. The vast congre-
cations in the Albert hall have been as
sanely deliberate at all times as II
they were sitting beneath the dome OF
ST. Paups. On all sides there was the
solemn and reverent gladness OF those
upon whom has dawned the splendor OF
new and happier life. but there was
no sign of the intractable physical DEM
onstration that was connected so in
separately with the reviyals of the last
century.
There are abundant evidences that
the movement is imminent in America.
Many Independent gospel meetings
have already been held in various parts
of the country, and in some of the large
cities prepare lions are actively gong
on. In New York an organized under
standing exists among the several

nary work has been done. In exchange

WHEN THE WALTZ
FIRST APPEARED.

It is moot point whether the waltz
originated in France or Germany,
whether it came from the French ia
volta" or the German national dance,
the "landler." According to French
authorities, la volta was simply the
waltz trois temps. Provence was its
birthplace, and it was first introduced
at the court of Henry II. at Fontaine-
bleau in 1855 by the Comte de Saulte,
who is said to have invented it. 1t en-
joyed great run throughout France
and even penetrated to Scotland, where
it met with furious opposition. one
writer averring that its Importation
into France had been effected by the
power of witches. Mary Stuart once
exhibited her agility in this dance, but
she was careful not to repeat the ex-
pertinent.
The case for Germany Is that the
first waltz tune appeared in 1870 In a
popular song called 20, du Lieber Au-
gustin." From Germany the. dance
made its way to Vienna and was in
troduced into the opera, while by and
by it found it's way to France, whence
it came to US, "the insidio4ls waltz, this
imp of Germany brought UP in France"
Great was the surprise Of English peo-
pie when they first saw the dance on
the continent. The following descrip-
ton Of it occurs in the papers of Rich
ard Twining, the occasion being ball
which he attended at Frankfort in 1871:
II was engaged in looking at these fine
people when a gentleman and lady
came whirling by me and had almost
overwhelmed me. could not imagine
what they were about. I had scarcely
extricated myself from the danger with
which they threatened me when anoth-.
er and another couple came twisting
by in like manner. found on inqrlir-
ing this was favorite German dance
called waltz. The gentleman puts his
arm round the lady's waist, and with
the other hand he gets firm hold of her
arm. You would at first think they
are going to wrestle. Thus prepared.
and the gentleman having got such
good purchase on the lady, they begin
to spin round and round with velocity"

sisting Dr.. Newell Dwight Hills OF
Plymouth church, Brooklyn, in his ef-
fort to inaugurate the movement.
There is every indication that before
the summer is over the revival spirit
will have penetrated to the remotest
corner of the country.
The revival, as it is now understood,
is religious condition which .has pre-
vailed from time to time in the Prot
estant denominations in England and
America. 1t is comparatively of recent
origin, although cimilar form of re-
ligious awakening took place in Scot
land in the sixteenth century. Seasons
of religious quickening occurred in the
Massachusetts Bay colony in 1904 and
1718. Jonathan Edwards conducted a
more notable work at Northampton In
1874. This movement spread over all
New England and brought about the
historic great awakening. which af-
fected all the colonies and was coinci-
dent with the work of johns Wesley In
England. Its most prominent exponent
in America was George Whitefield.
whose eloquence made numerous addi-
tions to the Methodist church. The so
called great awakening" was the
means of adding $50 churches to New
England and was the occasion Of the
foundation of Princeton college.
Toward the end of the eighteenth
century long period of revivals began,
called the evangelical reawakening."
Many preachers Of great power were
developed by these movements, among
whom may be mentioned Nathan
Strong, jeremiah Hallock and Charles
G. Finney. About this time the camp
meeting came into great vogue in the
west and southwest, more especially
among the Methodists. At first minis
ters of other denominations participant
ed in these meetings, but the religious
fervor and excitement began to prevail
so markedly that the popularity of that
form of revival grew less The Presby-
terians were particularly agitated over
the matter, and finally a considerable
number who were opposed to giving up
the camp meeting Withdrew from the
main body under the name of the Cum
berland Presbyterian church. One of

meeting idea is the Chautauqua assem-
bly,. which is largely educational, but
still maintains close connection with
religious work.
Soon after the middle of the nine
teenth century the revival period OF
American church history came to an
almost complete end. A quarter of
century later the successful evangelis-
tic methods Of Dwight l.. Moody and
his immediate predecessors did much
to restore the revival to its former pre-
eminence as a means of extending
Christian influence. After Mr.. Moody's
death there was another interval OF
evangelistic inactivity, but that has
passed. JOHN E. FAIRCHILD.
