BRIDGEVILLE

If any one has any doubts about the
lasting effects of revivals, he should
visit Bridgeville, the town regenerated, +,
for the effect has been to change the
whole life of this town, one of the most
progressive towns of the state, situated
in the heart of the great fruit belt of
Sussex County.
The revival which swept the Del
marvia peninsula during the last winter,
did not escape Bridgeville. Many of
the residents had attended the Sunday
meetings in Philadelphia, first out of
curiosity. and quite a delegation hit
the trail. They acted as workers when
the revival began here in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and to date there has
not been a backslider among the two
hundred or more who professed con-
version at that time.
Wealthy fruit brokers, retired farmers,
and professional men were among the
first to hit the trail, 3" and the example
which they set has had a marked infu-
ence in uplifting the moral tone of the
town and section roundabout.
In stores, barber shops, and other
public places where men congregate, the
topic is now along religious lines, where
once it was fox hunting, horse racing,
or base ball. The regulars" who con-
gregate at a certain barber shop, on
night spend their spare hours
