TRY A REVIVAL.

THAT which ought to be first thought of is frequently thought of last, or perhaps forgotten altogether. A lady correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune, evidently in great anxiety, wanted the editor to advise her how to raise money for a small country church. She admitted that they had tried a great many things, and been very successful. We have had, she said, “calico parties, sugar parties, fish-ponds, mock post-offices, and the like. If you can suggest some new form of entertainment, you will earn our sincerest thanks.”
The Tribune, not a religious paper by any means, gives sound counsel. It says, “We recommend a revival of religion.” Who could give a better answer? We commend the advice to all the churches. There is nothing so good for struggling churches, and those that are not struggling too, as a thorough revival. Try it. —Religious Intelligencer.
