The remarkable religious revival in Wales and the awakening in London has turned attention sharply to similar possibilities in other parts of the world. The distinguished English editor, W. T. Stead, and the eminent American clergyman, Newell Dwight Hillis, unite in the prediction that the movement is to become world-wide.

Certainly the time is ripe. Mankind has been moving at a rapid pace. It is a hard, materialistic age. The rich have become more and more lavish and oppressive of the poor, and the poor have given themselves up very largely to the thought of how to keep up with the procession.

It might seem to the unthinking that this is the hardest of conditions for religious enthusiasm to break in upon. But the truth is that human nature swings, like the pendulum, from the extreme of idealism to that of materialism and from materialism back to idealism. Its attitude today is no indication that it will be the same to-morrow.
