C. x Civil Service Exami nations Announced This is the season of revivals, particularly in the rural church. From the first of July until the first of September nearly every country church will have its “meeting”. It has been my happy privilege to participate in a number of these in the past few years. There is nothing more spiritually refreshing to the indi vidual than these services. The question often arises, “Does this church or community really need a revival?” Has it develop>ed into merely a habit or religious need for one? We must answer that the church and community need spiritual reviving. Revivals are practiced in all spheres of life. Not only does the Christian often lapse into indifference and care lessness, but a revival is an ag gressive, concentrated effort to win the lost to Christ. There are certain prerequisites to any successful revival. There must first be the real desire on somebody’s part to have a revival. Then there must be consecration to the task. I have often said that God’s power or interest has never become lessened in the years, and that the sinner’s un certainty does not prohibit a true revival. Therefore the issue is primarily with the Christian. If the Christian really desires to see a revival, then there is no power under the sun that can prevent its coming. I have heard some say, “We don’t have revival meetings like our parents in their day had.” Then it certainly isn’t God’s fault; it’s the responsibility of the Christian. If the Christian people by the power of God want a revi val, the lost will become interested. In addition to that earnest de sire and consecration there must be prayer,—continuous, passionate, faith-inspired prayer. People don’t oray today. We say prayers, we discuss prayer, we analyze the subject of prayer; but we don’t really pray. John Knox prayed, “Oh God, give me Scotland, or I die.” He was concerned for his country. We don’t pray as did Christ who remained at prayer all night. The praying people of the world are the revival producing people. Beyond prayer then there must be activity. It is not enough sim ply to have a good minister to do good preaching for a revival. The Christian people have their work to do; work for which there is no satisfactory substitution. Inviting others to church, leading the lost to Christ, helping in religious interviews,—these are only a few of the Christian’s duties. Any church can have an old fashioned, heartfelt, genuine re vival, if the Christians there real ly want one. Pastor, Duke Street' Baptist Church, Ninety Six, S. C.
