the founder Of Methodism 1t has in
fuenced other churches to an acceptance
of broad evangelical spirit; it has led
In many great reforms. 1t first insti-
tuted the Sunday schoo, the Bible so
cety, the missionary society and the

administration Of political affairs, espe-
cially in Great Britain and America. and
today Is a mighty factor in all agencies

SERIES OF SERMONS.
Opening Of Revival Services in Ep-
worth M. E. Church.

Rev. ]. w Smith of Epworth NJ. E.
Church South preached yesterday the
opening sermon in series Of revival
services TO be held In that church, taking
as a text. Habakkuk, liz
There Is little recorded" said Mr..
Smith. Concerning Habakkuk except
what can be CLEANED from his own writ
ings. From these we know that he be-
lieved in Justification. and that his faith
in Gods power to save was strong In
the midst of sin and iniQuity we find him
calling upon God to revive His work
The Methodist Church might almost be
said to have had its origin in a revival,
and throughout Its history 1t has been
nourished and sustained by revivals.
The religious life of Gods people has
had its Gibbs and high tides. Periods Of
listless inactivity have been succeeded by
spiritual awakenings, which have broad
ened the life of the church and multi
piled a thousand fold its power for good
Examples may be quoted from the early
history of the Jews and from various
periods down to our own times.
tnder the influence of such rev!valists
as Wesley and Whitefeld came a reaction
against atheism and unbelief. The great
revival of the eighteenth century, the
awakening of the church just prior to tn"
civil war. the meetings of Moody and
SdlhN, al testify 10 the SOuu dCtplH-
plishcd by REVEALS. Though critics may
declare that the revival is not helpful
force In the church. the history of the
organization is a refutation of their asser-
ton.
Mr.. Smith next touched upon the essen
tails for the conduct OF a successful re-
vival.
There must be, first. Il realization by
the individuals in the church of the need
for spiritual reawakening in them
selves. he said. and an intense longing
on their part to save the souls of others.
Then must come the earnest prayer for
the manifestation of Gods spirit, without
which nothing can be accomplished. Next
and too much stress cannot be laid on
this point-there must be submission to
God s Will and the Willingness to make
sacrifices. Sentiment and excite ment alone
do not constitute a revival. Emotion. how
ever sincere. must have a more powerful
force for its inspiration II the souls up
lift Is to be more than transitory
We should try to realize more fully the
Importance of a human soul and its need
for salvation. We must pray increasingly
and be willing to make personal sacri-
fees.
ut is strange. indeed. that we can look
upon the Man OF Sorrows. can review His
life OF love and lf-sacrifice. and not be
moved to lay down our lives, II need be,
in His service"

The Van Schaick Incident.

To the Editor of The Star:
In the article which appeared in The
Evening Star Thursday last in relation to
the action of Burnside Post, No. 8, G.
A. r., refusing to rescind resolutions
adopted October 8. 1907 rebuking Rev.
John Van Schaick jr., for having eulo-
gized Gen. Lee on the occasion of the ex-
ercises in honor of the birthday of Abra-
ham Lincoln at the Eastern High School
it is stated:
The contest to have the resolutions
rescinded. was led by Chaplain Henry n.
Couden of the United States House of
Reprc sentatives. and A s. Perham and
w. II. Raglan were active in opposition"
l beg to state that the above statement
in so far as 1t relates to Comrades, A S.
Perham and w. H. Ragan, is not In ac-
cordance with the facts. as w. H. Raglan
did not take any part In the debate, and
the few remarks made by A. s. Perham
were merely explanatory and not in op-
position to the motion to rescind.
The above statement does these two
worthy comrades an injustice and is apt
to create false impressions.
