Avowed enemies of the faith of Jesus Christ have become bold and militant. Now a great surprise is on us. Without any organization or advertisement, which is thought necessary to prepare the way of a parochial mission or of the visit of such evangelists as Mr. Torrey and Alexander, the countryside is shaken by a moral earthquake. It is not devastation. It is renovation.
Sobriety replaces drunkenness.
Industry becomes joyful duty. Husbands and wives are united in bonds of new and purer love. Prodigal sons and daughters return home. And there are no mighty orators to sway the people. If we ask what it all means, what the energy and power are that effect these things - it is the Holy Spirit.
