A Revival.SEEM ON BY KEY, II. BELTING IN ST. PAUL’S
CHURCH, SUNDAY, NOV. 17, 1889.
" 0 Lord, revive thy work,’'—Hab. 3 :8. ,Revivals of religion are not peculiar to
.. modern tfm es; they date back as fa r as the history of the Church of G od.' We read of them in the tim e of Nehemiah, Hezekinb, David, Daniel, etc. David prayed : " W ilt thou not .revive us again, that thy people may rejoice In thee?”
The tex t is a prayer in the same direction, and Pentecost was a revival on a
, grand scale, the greatest in all the history of the church. The condition of things •which prompts the prayer of the tex t is somewhat sad to reflect upon;; because there is an implication that there has been spiritual declension on the part of God’s people. W hy such periods should occur in the history o f any church is somewhat difficult to explain. In all the past history
. of the church we find they have existed, and no doubt they will continue to the end of time, because of- our proneness to wander front God, und our surroundings that are not helpful to our spiritual life.
To revive means to quicken to new life, to Invigorate, to become active and full of 2eal and energy. Revivals are tim es of spiritual refreshing both among Christians and the unconverted, for they generally go together.
“A1revival is the spring of religion, the renovation of life and gladness. I t is tho seasou in which young converts burst into existence and beautiful activity. The church resumes her labor nnd care with freshness and energy. The air all around is balmy and diffusing the sweetest odors. The whole landscape teems with living promises of abundant harvest of righteousness and peace.
I t is the jubilee o f holiness. A genial warmth pervades and refreshes tho whole church. Showers o f vernal delight and joy descend gently and copiously. Delight- ful influences are wafted by every breeze. W here the dend leaves of winter still lin- ger, the primrose and the daisy spring up in modest loveliness. Trees long barren put forth the buds of beauty and power. The whole valley, is covered with varied and fragrant blossoms. ‘ Form s of beauty bloom on every side, and Zion Is the Joy of the whole earth. I f the sp irit that renews.the face of nature is a sp irit of beauty In the elegance of the germs, the
‘ tints of the buds, the verdure of the foliage, the splendor of the blossoms, and the w itching glories of the m atured fruits of Nature, how great is his beauty when act.
: ing; out his lovely and holy perfections In revivals of religion?”
These words bring to iSur notice what -should never be lost sight of, namely, that a revival is a *work of God. Ilei alone can
. give renewed life. Paul* may plant,, and Afrollos may water, but God alone can give
' the increase. The history o f all revivals corroborates th Is statement. Hum an agency may produce excitement, enthusiasm nnd fanaticism, and the fru it of such, wor k will last only while the excitement continues.
B ut while this im portant truth m ust be uppermost in our thought, we must like-, wise remember that a revival is an object of desire, prayer and effort on our part. God means to bring the truths of the gos- pel to men’s hearts by tho agency /of man. W hen Saul of Tarsus was convicted of sin on his way to Damascus, he was bidden to go Into the city and i t should be told him w hat he should do, and Annanlas was seat to instruct him as to his duty. W hen the angel had informed Cornelius that , his prayers were heard, he was ordered toseud for Peter, who would tell him what ho m ust do. God is evidently jealous of this plan, and so,tho angel was uot permitted to do what belonged to Peter’s d uty. The
• honor and responsibility of bringing saving tru th to human hearts belongs to tho church. When th o . church Is duly im pressed with this how Intense becomes the desire for the revival of God’s work- David expressed it thus: “As the hear$ panteth after the water brooks, so.panteth
. my soul after thee, 0 God.” How intense { Is this, figu re!t Wo see the poor beast j
chased by the hounds using every, effort to escape, panting for the water-brook where i t may both slako its th irst.and throw tho hounds off the tra ck ;. even so David’s soul was panting for God. W hen Nehemiah was told of the sud condition o f Jerusalem he “ sat down and wopt and mourned cer- tain days, and fasted and prayed beforothe God, of b.eaveu,” Mr.- Finnoy tells of a blacksmith whoso agony became so great a t thought of tho condition of tho church and of sinners, that he could not work. So he locked up his shop and spent the afternoon In'prayer. This was followed by. a great revival. In these, as in- every case, desire and prayer go hand in hand, and the two produce the disposition of mind and heart to be benefited by a revival, W e believe there never was d revival except in answer to prayer on. the. p a rt of one or more. This intense desire and fervent prayer m ust always have reference to ourselves as well as others. , Nekem iak fasted and prayed, and.confessed his sins to God. David prayed tha t the joys - of salvation m ight bo restored to him, then would he teach transgressors God’s ways, and sinners would be converted. Desire .and prayer must .be accompanied by effort. I f the little company upon .whom the Holy Ghost fell so copiously on the day of Pentecost, iiad Temained' in th a t upper roOni rejoicing in their new-found blessing, there is every reason to believe- the. results of that day would have been fa r different from w hat they were.; W hen the fire was kindled in their h earts,. immediately they w ent out, and made every effort to bring the. same blessings to other hearts, Their, efforts were so unusual that their enemies said, they w ere filled , w ith new ‘>vine. ;-Tbe result shows that their efforts Were judiciously directed. They were workers with God. Success lies only • along th is line. The smith' does not ^attempt.to weld-.the iron until i t has the requisite heat. L et Us learn how God works and then work w ith Him.- ■: .*:v: *■*'
A genuine revival of religion always stirs up opposition. Some in the church may not believe in them , nnd either oppose or be indifferent,.which is as bad, i f not worse. There is a natural love o f ease on the part of many and they do no t want to be disturbed. I t is to -be’ expected, Of course, that Satan will 'oppose them. Ju st as long as he can induce God’s ^ e o p le to be Inactive,.he has them where he, wants them : for w hile they do nothing for God, they are often i n t h a t . State w here: Satan uses them for his purpose. I t is safe to say Satan has but little jise fo r ah earnest wide awake Christian . worker. A revival alw iys makes inroads upon Satan’s forces, and one of his ’devices is to fill the minds of people .so full of other things that thoy cannot think of the interests of their souls; and thus ho retains them iu his power.
In many cases too, it will be found that he will start a counter movement, und the moro church members he can induce to join in this, the better for his side of the case.. These counter movements are 'not always of a sinful character ; he is entirely too shrewd for this. .. He hides the snare and adroitly covers the hook with the tem pting bait in order • to allure his victims. ' -■ He may suggest also that as a revival is
a work'of God we cannot bring It on. A field of wheat is a work of God, but we can do much toward hindering or helping its growth. He Is a poor, farm er Indeed .who expects God to.give him a good crop at harvest tim e who makes no exertion him self to realize such a lesuU.
Let the blessed fruits of a revival be our incentive to labor f»?r it.
visited from house to house. H e traveled on foot, both W inter and Summer, and always stopped - with the fam ilies of the preachers or members for- entertainment, who always gave him a cordial welcome. Everybody loved him. He wtis a
“ A poor, wayfaring man,And lodged awhllo lu tents below,
' And K-lnilly wandered to and fro,'• Till lie hi.s Cunnan gained.” ,;
He was always sure to speak in tho meetings when opportunity wa3 given. Tho divine fire, seemed to burn In his heart, shine in his face, nnd Sparkle in his eye. H is testimonies were to the point and seemed to be given at the righ t time and always acceptable to the people as the hearty amen o rap p ro p ria te song which followed clearly showed. I t was a common, thing for him to say near the close of. his testimony, holding his le ft hand open and bringing down the forefinger of the other on the open palm, “ There, I/v\*ould ju s t us soon you would see my heart as my hand.”
He used to occupy his leisure time, as a m atter of recreation, in m aking rolling pins, ladles, brooms and other useful articles .which he would carry around and present to theladies where he was entertained and with Which tiiey were well pleased,
I t was a cdmmon' thing for him to say Amen to any important tru th uttered in a serm on,'prayer or testimony,. This .’he would do in a sharp, loud voice, sometimes exciting a smile, and so startling to the people that . many would look around to see where it came from, and strangers would w onder-w ho: he was and w hat it was, At one time he went to hear a P resbyterian divine preach, l ie was o f the old school, and when laying down the doctrine of election and reprobation with emphasis, Uncle Shaler shouted out to the top Of his vofce, “Amen, h it orm isz!"
I t seemed Alike:, ii clap:of thunder from a clear sky. The people looked atriazed, and the dominie, .who was reading his sermon lost h is place, and it was some tim e before he could recover his presence o f mind, find his place and preach with deliberation. ■
Once he traveled a long distance on Sunday morning to reach a quarterly meeting, through a deep suow th a t had fallen during the night. Tho wind was blowing, snow’ flying and drifting. The lady whose house he. was- trying to reach saw him coming ‘.through the storm and wading through drifts up to his arms. She met him a t the door and said, “ Why, Father Shaler, are you not afraid you will blow awayV” “ I f I do,” he replied, “ / shall blow to heaven!" '■■■ '■0 He died in a good old age. He was greatly missed. Devout men carried him to his burial. He was .tlie salt of the earth and the light of the world.

He was another'good old p lain,'p ious man in. the samo county. A Dutchman, IIIs language was very broken. Rising- to speak he would hitch up his pants, which were fastened about the waist, and not by suspenders,and say, “A hem ! ahem ! ahem 11 feeel like—I feel.like flghtin’ the devil.” A t the same .time suiting h is voice and gestures to the word6 and thoughts he.wcj^, uttering. .. I t was .'highly amusing and profitable to see his manner and hear his earnest testimony.
At one tim e ho was sitting in a congregation where a m eeting w as held in iv p rivate house. The. preacher was a Presby- teriau, und standing on a -trap door over cellar as lie. waxed warm and gesticulated with earnestness,* the lipor on which he was standing gave way, and the accom- plished clergyman went suddenly into the Cellar. “ Glory to. <»od!” exclaimed the M ethodist Dutchman, “ one Presbyterian has fallen from grace!”. At one tim e He himself fell, but from a buildiug that was being raised. It was a dangerous fall and a narrow escape. When one said to him, “ .What would have be- come of you if you had been k illed?” “ Glory to God!" he replied. “ I would have gone.to heaven cross-lots as straight as a bullet,'’

• UNCLE SI IAJ. Kit.
When I was si boy there lived In Scho- hurio county, X. V., a man by’:the name of Shaler. He was -usually called Uncle Shaler, and sometimes Father Shaler, as ho was quite advanced in years. I knew him w e ll.. He was a m em berof the Meth- odist Episcopal Church in good and regii- lar standing. l ie .lived anywhere, every- where and almost nowhere. Ills home was among the people. He lived in the churches. They were his. temples and palaces. Ho was nsincere,simple-hearted uud true Christian, tru ly devoted to God, He was orthodox, tru ly -Arm enian. He was rigid in the .observance of the disci- pllne aud the teachings of John Wesley. Ho was an itinerating pious Christian la y man.

A Season at Ocean Grove.
: It is both pleasant anti cheering to note the y o u n g : people. In . every * h o te l, and hoarding house, hasUming.to: get through .breakfast and starting on their way to their place of worship. M uch'attention is given to music, and- the spirited w ay in which the hymns are sung, and the prom pt and hearty way in Which tho whole service is conducted, has much to do in rendering it attractive.:' <£.
D uring J u iy ^ u d the first part o f August a* number of anniversary days are observed such as Temperance, State and , National; Missionary, Home and Foreign; S. S. Assembly; Ocean Grove Anniver- sary.; M emorial days, &c., «fcc., but when these are over all meetings are tributary to the annual camprmeetlng, which' lasts ten days at the close of the month.
From observation I judge the Y . . P. Meeting is more relied upon than 'any other in the work of bringing sheaves into the garner. Mr. Y. has shown him self an efficient evangelist and his methods have been heretofore very successful a t . the Grove. Special meetings are also held in the Auditorium and in the Tabernacle, be*, side which there are the M others’ Meeting,- the .Children’s Meeting, and tent meetings in various localities. T he A uditorium is a building erected in a grove of trees and has a seating capacity of five or six thousand.' Beside these meetings I ought to mention a very unique one held every Sabbath' evening during the season, at the foot of Ocean Pathway, called the Surf Meeting, I t is. held at fl o’clock p . m. and many thousands liere participdte i n ; a liturgical service of prayer, singing and Scripture reading, partly under the pavilion at that point, but chiefly between that and the water, 'seated o n o r In the sand. Printed slips ore distributed through the audience giving: tho hymns and scripture selections, the service being interspersed with short addresses by persons, o f note, lay and clerical. To see so many thhs grouped, and engaged, Is both - novel and pleasant. Some of the best pulpit and platform speakers In this country may be heard somewhere, and upon 'some,topic, during tlie season and all are not taken
the M ;; E. -Church, for i t m ay be tru thfully stilted th a t.v e ry seldom does denominationalism m anifest itself a t this- camp,meeting by the sea,’.
By the middle of Ju n e the weather is warm enough to render, a stroll j>y t}ie sea very enjoyable, but the water is still too cool for bathing, thouglru few venture in, but their blue Ups and chattering teeth confirm the above statement. Some assert th a t the water on this New Jersey.const is warmed by the Gulf Stream ,others that it waits to be heated by sum m er sun. . Per- haps neither are wholly right or wholly W rong. .. - Ocean .Grove is built upon a tract of land'about of a mile square, bounded on the north by Wesley Lake, on the south by.Fletcher Lake, west by what is ctdled the Turnpike road, and east by the ocean. These lakes are quite small, heading not more than a mile Inland, und not more than 200 feet wide. They seem to be a feature of tho coast in this vicinity, as within a distance of ha lf a dozen miles, we find about one to the ‘mile, all about the same length and width, .and all entering the ocean at right angles. Wesley Lake separates Ocean Grove .from Asbury Park, and F letcher Lake, from Ocean Park. The form er’ Is ".somewhat* larger than tlie Grove, both in . territory and in buildings aiid sum m er population, hut Ocean Park, in biiUiliiiirs and population, is very-inconsiderable. All three have the same restriction us to.liqiV/r; in fact I believe It cannot- he-sold w ithin a mile of the Grove In any direction, unless it >he oceanward; but land ward, from observation, 1 should judge the foot oyer a mile is under a saloon. 1
The bathing establishments are a t the north and south coait lines, where pavilions have also been erected, and betweeu
^hem a very wide substantial! walk, with several pavilions a t intervals, so that there Is given unsurpassed facilities for both promenade and rest, us -well us opportunity to overlook bathers and the ocean!
W hile the greater portion of residents and visitors a t Oceau Orove are Methodists, yetj as I have already stated, there .is quite a respectable percentage not connected with that churcli, who find i t a very pleasa n t place to come t»». Some doubtless aro here because they enjoy Methodist methods of wocship, their fvivM preaching and their genenil aggi i v e n e e a n te s ti ie s s - nnd warmth. 1: met. <iuite a .m unber of clergym en of. other denonjjnatiohs and have ho dbubt many of these had .new love
kindled in their hearts, and curried*awny methods which boro fruit- la their home churches. I am sorry to believe that miiny Christian professors have accepted, cast iron denominational rules for saving souls, and the .tenacity w ith which , they hold these, nnd the distrust they have of all other methods, remind one of what is charged against somo physiclons, who are said to bo so wedded to the .formula taught in the schools from which they graduated, that sooner than - consent to try aught else, they would perm it the patient to* die. Do not such professors forget th a t tho great apostle wrote the Corinthians (l Cor. !>:22) that he was willing to be made all things, to all men, that by all means he m ight save some?
Ocean Grovo is abundantly supplied with that , class of persons popularly termed cranks, but'fche term is so frequently misused and misapplied that ! hesitate to use it here. W e say of a boat that it is cranky when i t can be easily overturned,* and we m ight say this of a great many persons brains, and .lt Is this class I have in b lind . Most, of those met in Ocean Grove are simply religious enthusiasts, or those who have become enamored with certain lines of religious truth, and seem incapable of giving thought to any other. •
W hile standing on the outskirts of an audience a t the Auditorium one morning I fe lt something had been thrust into my partly open palm which was behind m ea t the time; ['I.turned sufilciently to see:that It came from a man belonging to the ciuss of which I have written, an(! did not examine what he hiul given me Until I left the p lace., I then'discovered.he had given me a tract c a l l e d ‘No Personal Devil,’? T t bore the im p rin t. of the f‘ N e w . Church,’• which is tlie new; name adopted by. the followers of that old dreamer, “Swedenborg;.” T he than- who gave m e the, tract Is! still a member Of the M. E .'C hurch,’ but of . late had been captivated by ono of their, m inisters who has considerable ability in presenting the spiritual aide of tlieir belief attractively, o r .1 m ight better say, the incorporeal side, for that is really frhut Swedenborg wrote most about. W hen we next met he. asked what I thought of his tract. .1 answered that I thoiight tiiedevil was iis real fi person a> our Lord himself, and that I did riot know how a man of his age could fail to bo .equally sure,-even if he had lived ull his days .on some lone isle. My answer seemed to disappoint und hurt him. •_ ■ . ,4.
I t is amusing to see.tho way somo leove one meeting just dismissed, and strikeout for some other, as though' afraid they m ight miss.something going on elsewhere. N ot a few of this chiss-feel culled upon to speak a t till meetings.they attend, and/not unfrequently do so without regurd to the subject which has been under consideration. Evidently they are uiwuys loaded and believo it is their duty to fire, regardless of-ammunition or object aimed at.
There is great temptation to become religiously dissipated in the Grove, as there are meetings ulmbst every hour in Audi- torlunij Tabernacle,.Tem ple, church or tent. • • ■ ’

Christianity in Our National Life,’If the hearts of the people were equally
sensitive to,the moral and spiritual perils now besetting the nation, we should also bo united in the purpose to ineet und m itigate our spiritual sicknessess und dangers with all the beneficent powers of the Gos- pel.

The American Republic.Shall we, with great historians liko Ban

Shall we,, with others,. se'ek*.her origin in the. pulpit of John Kriox in Edinburgh V- Shall we, witli tlie great German historian, declare' that John Calvin a t Geneva was the “ virtual founder of the United States of America?” W ere the roots of-our nationality fastened, as many believe, in the soil of Murston Moor, where 'O ro tnw ell’s Iron sides broke lu pieces the arm y o f K ing Chur-les? O r shall we not ra ther look buck of all of these, to tlie holy fields of, the New Testament which**the sixteenth century opened up again to m aklnd? Tho eloquent voice of the Honorable W illiam C. P. Breckenridge Of Kentucky has shown us th a t liberty is the child of thut interpretation o f the Bible which became general with the Protestant Reformation. We may say with truth j th a t “ free America was born of the: Bible.” From tho Bible came many of tho strongest impulse’s that colonized these shores. From the Bible ciitne the sim pler forms of self- government, iti town mid Church,: that have gone .with our civilization In its westward march.. I lance ctfine the observance of the l,ord’is Day, tlm bulwark of our freedom, and hence the teaching of .Biblical truth -to.tiie .young, which Webster declared has done more to preserve our liberties yuin grave statesmen and armed soldiers.” Hence cume our public schools and the long line of .Christum colleges that stretch from-the''elms of .Harvard und Dartmouth to the shores Of the Brazos und Sabine,, and on to the I’ucific Coast: Hence came also the separation of the Church and Stuttf, and. that soul liberty which Roger Williams learned from H im who-said “ My kingdom is not o f th is world.” Front the Bible came, as Edw ard Everett declared, “ the better elem ents of our- national institutions.” I t wns an echo from . the Scriptur.es w hich Jefferson sounded in th u 'g rea t declaration. From the Bible came the moral forces that Carried through ii*ir first Revolution, aud which have wlthstood*the w astlugs of cur* .ioption lii succeeding years. From - the saute source liave sprung tho moral reformations that have preserved our nationality and .ou r. freedom.

•It to located si * miles south of Long Branch, Immediately on tlie Fhore o f the Atlantic Ocean. It Is bounded on the north aud south by beautiful fresh wak»r lakes; on the east by tho occan, and on tbo west by lines nearly parallel with the Railroad.
E X T E N T ,
It comprises over three hundred acres o f land, two-thirds o f wh.ch are groves, and the remainder beach land .. Tho whole ,plot 16 uow laid out In grand avenues tiom eighty to threo hundred feet wide.
S IZ E o r LOTS.
The averago size o f lots is SOxGO feet, which is large enough for a small cottage, 6uch as tho majority prefer to buila. Thoso who wish to build larger buy two or moro lots.
B U IL D IN G S .
On these avenues about eight hundred cottagcs are now built, vary iug In cost from 8 3 0 0 t o 8 8 ,. 0 0 0 . Thero arc about iorty additional buildings, consisting o f largo hoarding houses, stores, and such other edifices as the business of tho placo demands. To theso buildings others aro being constantly added, so-that the precise number given to-day w ill uot answer for the number a week or a month hcuce. All o f tho cottages are comfortable—some of them plain, and others pos-
. 6esslng all tho beauty aud perfection of modern architecture.
W A T E R ,
Waler of the purest aud best quality, and lu Inexhaustible quantities, is obtained by means of tube pumps, drlveu to a depth o f 25 or GO feet through the solid gravel, aud six overflowing Ar- esian wells, from a depth o f over 400 feet.
T E N T S .
lu addition to cottagcs and boarding houses as placcs o f residence, teuts are used by many jteopJe. Every year, about six hundred of these are erected, aud although the season may be, storniy—tho wind sometimes blowiug almost a gale—yet but few have ever been blown down, when properly, put up. Theso tents aro dry and comfortable, even in wet weather. Many persons prefer tents to cottages, as they Vay, “ Tent life is a change— wo liv e In houses or cottages nt home.’* Teuts of good size, and In good eoudition, erccted aud ready for occupancy, cau always be had ou reasonable terms by applicatiou to the Secretary’s ofllce.
- g o v e r n m e n t .
Tho government o f the place is strictly religious, being in charge o f twenty-six men—thirteen mln-
; istersand thirteen laymen—all o f whom must bo members of tho Methodist Episcopal Church; and yet this place Is iu no way sectarian—Its population being composed of all denom ination o f Christians, who enjoy aud take part in its religious services.
R E L IG IO U S S E R V IC E S .A camp-meeting for the promotion o f Christian
.liollueta Is held each year, together wtlh other religious services, which arc held daily from the beginning o f the season to its close, covering a period o f about four mouths.
B A T H IN G A X 1>M O A TING .
The bathlngatOcean GroveJJj unsurpassed, The • boating upon the lakes Is enjoyed by.thousands of men, womeu and children, from early dawn to long after dark. Over six hundred boats are now
.found upou these waters.R E S T R IC T IO N S .
- The gates aro closed ou tlie Sabbath, and tho quietness that becomes thnt holy day everywhere prevails. Neither liquor nor tobacco art* sold upon the ground. * Holiuess to the Lord" Is our motto.
R E C R E A T IO N .
The object o f this place IS to provido a seaside resort for Christian j>eoplc, free from the vices aud temptations usuallv fouud at fashionable watering places, aud at such rates as shal come wlthiu the reach of those o f moderate means.
LO TS F O R S A L E .
About twelve huudred lots have already beeu sold. There are many more yet iu tho market well located and attractive. The proceeds from the sale oflon., nud from all other sources, go to improve the place. The Individual members of tiie Association aie not financially benefited. The charter prohibit* it.
Tho Railroad Depot Is but a few hundred yards from the outramx ^ .th e grouuds. Vost and telegraph ofllccs open nil the year..
