PAGE TWO ' p ? ! THE "OLD GRAY" AI Sir ~ E. PH I LI REVIVALS, A TOPIC OF MUCH I DISCUSSION J __i We find that the above subject is! quite a live issue of today under thej caption of "Evangelism." Some ex. I ?- cellent articles have appeared in both'1 ?- seeular and religious papers discussing ..the same. Brainy v/ritefs, niThistertat: and lay have offered usggestions as to, how they should be conducted. One', j Prof. Metz, layman, formerly of Green ?- "ville, but now of Cincinnati, wrote a timely article upon the vsubject that was published in the Christian Recorder a few days ago. The .writer L * condemned the methods used by the latter day evangelists in getting the1 unsaved to approach the altar for! prayerrand also -t-o-agrapt rhri'st Ev- . erything that he said was true. And1 -L.: I am glad that the laymen are inter-! ested in this subject. Now, one of the chief hinderances to revivals among! " Wlored^people is_the monev. it takes-, ? ?l money to run things in this worjd, [ and revivals' are no exceptions. But I the money to bear the expenses of a revival should be appropriated^by the , lay members in advance of the meet-1 !..? t>V? ftit tug, jl lie gicaat puinv/n v/x ?vo ?vi least. For it do^s not mind who Jsj the evangelist, and what methods he, hbq( if fVirpp fmiyths of the revival services are to-be taken up in try - f ing to get money, the eight nr , t,r" i days' meeting will finally close with not even a revival in sight. The people must be taught, that in" as much ? as they must make financial scriai-! 1 ces to educate their chilrden, they' must make similar sacrifices to save1 their Kilk'd ? . ... It appears from aftipr effects that the revivals of today only sl6w up; sin but by no means put it out'ofj. ' ' that is accomplished by haying them, is only short lived. And in a few - ""days you cannot, tell that even a re^ -viva) was held so far as results can be seen". In our* recent " revivals ; ? tho ninnar ic tint, kW^j til his' , but slightly wounded. And it is di11' _ ing their lame period we drag them ihlO the cliun.li and ennfor upon them; all the church's ritoe^- and^eremotftes. 1 We deceive ourselves in that We think1 we have- added substantial members.. to our respective Churches when we have ih them only cripple- sinners:tar-j -?r- -tying to he healed.
