ious meetings and the harvest of con-
verts have been the most notable in
the history of the country since 1857.
In that year occurred religious
movement that has become historic
by virtue of its intensity and scope.
Considered in proportion to population
then and now, the movement Of 1857
probably was as important as the one
now In progress. Taken without ref
erence to population, the movement
Of 50 years ago was but as q drop in
q bucket compared with the scope Of
the revival movement that is abroad
to-day.
The history Of religious movements
Of this kind shows that they almost
invariably have followed on the heels
or have occurred during periods Of
deep industrial distress. In the Unit
ed States this has been particularly
true.
Distress Affected Souls.
The religious outbreak. of 1857 ap-
parently had its origin in the distress
Of the people. and thousands of those
who had suffered financial losses in
material things flocked to the churches
to pray for relief from their troubles.
Monetary disaster rendered the peo-
pie susceptible to religious influences.
just as misfortune in individual cases
is q potent factor in the introspection
that often leads to the acceptance of
religion. The great revival of the
late '70s appears to have had its orr
gin in q similar national condition
The historic religious movement led
by the late Dwight L. Moody in Chi
cago and running synchronous to the
worlds fair took place when the coun-
try was entering the throes of one Of
the most disastrous industrial panics
in its history. The same is true Of
other nations.
In this respect the present religious
movement differs from nearly all 9TH
err. There have been ten years Of
unprecedented prosperity. In mate
rial things the country and the people
as individuals have been and are more
prosperous than ever before. Yet,
contrary to history, in the midst Of
this marvellous prosperity there arises
and is maintained for at least four
years a constantly growing tide Of re-
ligious enthusiasm. The men guiding
the movement say that they see no
evidence Of the approach Of the end
Of the revival spirit. The number Of
converts is increasing daily, more men
are going into the evangelistic work,
and everywhere preparations. are BE-
ing made for wider activities in the
revival movement.
Revival Began in Australia.
The current religious enthusiasm,
in its worldwide sense, dates from
the work Of Torrey and Alexander in
Australia four years ago. On this
Australian tour these evangelists
