Signs of a True Revival

1st. The filling up of the seats in the prayer-meeting by the heads of families.

2d. A spirit of devotion and prayer pervading the young men of the church.

3d. An earnest study of the Scriptures, and a desire on the part of all the members of the Sabbath-school.

4th. The revival of family worship among those who have neglected it.

5th. A better attendance on the services of God’s house on the Sabbath.

6th and last, but not least. A consecration even of the mites of the widow to the cause of missions.

These, we think, are evidences of no mean revival, when they begin to show themselves in any church. They will soon be followed by a striving on the part of the godless to be like-minded.
