REVIVAL IN BELFAST.
— i * PASTOR'S REMARKABLE SWAY. EPIDEMIC OF HONESTY. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.30 P.m.) LONDON. Feb. 21. An extraordinary religious revival, led by Pastor Nicholson, is proceeding in Belfast. Hundreds of men, clad in dungarees, with grimy faces and hands, march every night from the shipyards, singing hymns, to Pastor Nicholson's services. As a result of the revival many employers are receiving back stolen goods. Tools borrowed from the shipyards are being returned, shopkeepers are being paid accounts that had been outstanding for years, and ex-soldiers and sailors are refusing disablement grants on the ground that they are now restored to health. There is also a marEea absence of swearing in the yards.
