Awakening of 1858 To Be'
Repeated?
The world has been compelled to take
notice of a wave of religious revival which
recalls the '-Great Awakening" that shook

in Australia, and, rolling over that con-
tinent, spread to Wales last year. .There

The influence of the "Welsh awakening
was soou felt in England, where the
American evangelists, Torrify and Alexan

6,000 people, for five months.
Then the movement .spread to the
United States. For weeks ..Schenectady

Nearly fifty, churches were crowded at
once, and hundreds were turnen away
from union meetings to which people came
from Troy, Albany and Saratoga. -s Eight
huudrcdehildren, representing forty schools
and fourteen denominations, marched sing

ministers headed piocessions which parad

into saloons inviting sinners to the meet

even the Legislature was affected to the
