The automobile coiportage wagons and

The religious revival, in some ip-
stances with old fashioned methods, is
coming in again. Three large bodies,
the Methodist, the Congregational and
the Episcopal, are enterting upon re-
yiyalistic campaigns. Methodists deny
they ever abandoned the plan, but the
fact is that in many conferences few
revivals were held. Bishop Wilson of
New York is leading among Methodists
and is insisting that only by such re-
yival plans can conditions in Method

pccially where growth is almost at a
standstill, be improved.

gregationalists. at almost its first
