A TRUE REVIVAL.

EVERY revival of religion recorded in the Bible seems to have been a revival of personal righteousness among God's own people. No amount of outward prosperity, no increase of numbers, no new and attractive forms of worship, can possibly make up for or take the place of the faithful conformity to the whole will of God on the part of those who are called by his name. The sooner the ministers and churches recognize this fundamental truth and necessity and bend all their energies toward the bringing about of such a revival, the better it will be for the church as such, and the speedier shall we all reach the desired end of seeing ungodly and skeptical unbelievers brought under the power of the gospel.—Independent.
