J. W

By James White

"A Dearth of Revivals." Under this heading we find an article in the Oberlin Evangelist, from which we extract the following paragraph. Taken in connection with the recent revivals, so-called, it becomes significant and worthy of record. It reads as follows:

"So far as our information extends, there are but very few revivals of religion at this time in the country. Our personal visits among the churches and ministers have brought us in contact with not one. We scarcely hear of any through the religious press. It is rare that the dearth of revivals has been so general as at this moment."

WANTED. A few copies of REVIEW, Vol. ix, Nos. 8 and 9, are very much wanted at the REVIEW Office. Those who have them, and can send them, will do the Office quite a favor to send these two numbers.
