It seems apparent that the difference of opiniou developed in the articles of our colleague “II.* and oor eoc- respoudont, arises measurably, if not mainly, from a defect of state metit or want of definition. Neither has told us specifically what be understands by a “revival,* or a “revival popularly so called.* Tin are indeterminate expressions, and are used to indicate things radically different, according to the different conceptions of those employing them. The first requisite to the profitable discussion of any question is to have a correct and accordant tiew of its suuse—then we osn proceed to die cuss its merits impartially, with the desire only to srrire at the truth. We should conscientiously distin guish between a profound religious interest awakened in a community by the Spirit of God, through the faithful weekly or daily use of God’s ordinances, and an ephemeral excite ment produced by histrionic tricks and sensational appearances; be tween a revival “sent down* from God by the power of the Holy Ghost through the troth prayerfully preach ed and heard, and a revival “gotten up* by “art and man’s device.” The one is a blessing, the other is a curse; and it is uot to he assumed that revivals, as they “actually 00- cur,” are uniformly alike la charac ter, conduct or consequences; or that the one conducted Hi the reign of “good old king Heaeklah,” or the oue witnessed ou the day of Pea- teooafc, is identical with many “so- called” outpourings of modern times.
