The proper papers arrived from California this morn- authority has said that the history, of revivals is the history of religion. Men who have this declare that the Reformation was simply a re- vlyal. That period Is known as the first revival period covering more.than two centuries, between 1340 and 1660. The next revival period began about the year continued eighty-eight years. Bunyan and Baxter were tbo prominent men In this movement.

The third revival period Is known as the great awakening of the eighteenth century. It was In progress between 1730 and 1750. Whltefleld, Wesley, Edwards Bralnerd, and the Tennents headed this movement, which obtained to some extent In the United States. It was the fourth revival period which extended from 1700 until 1842. that first really concerned the United StaUs.

The hard times following the Revolutionary war were responsible for this. The financial depression at the very beginning of the century developed the spirit of revival to the highest point during this fourth period.

That he made mistakes at times Is only to say that he Is human and fallible; but he had tho confidence of the members of the'organlzaiion to a degree possessed by no leader, unless It bo Mr. Arthur, of the Locomotive Engineers, whose success Is attributable to precisely the same qualities -as marked the administration of Mr. Powderly.

The feature of Powderly'a career was not the eagerness to discover grievances, the readiness to take forcible measures for redress, and the uncompromising Insistence upon concession and surrender which have given some labor loaders temporary popularity with the passionate and headstrong. He owed his success to the cool judgment which he brought to the consideration of differences between employers und employed, his conciliatory methods, his unwillingness to resort to extreme measures, and his usually careful abstention from threatening or boastful language. Mr. Powderly's successor has just been elected. If he bo a man of wisdom he will not waader far from the path In which his predecessor walked with power and prudence for so many years.

It was in tuat year that the old Chatham Street Theatre, which was aa "a haunt of blasphemy and vice," was turned Into a church.
