Of Rev. E. B. Webb, d. D., of Boston, who
read an excellent paper upon the subject
What doctrines are necessary to be preach
ed to produce revival of religion?" He
gave a clear analysis of the character of the
preaching in former revivals in the church,
under John the Baptist, the early Apostles,
the Reformation, under the Wesleys, in 174O
in New England, and under such men as
Jonathan Edwards, the leader of his day.
The preaching was searching, incisiye, win
moving, compelling men to cry 'what shall
we do?" awakening consciousness toward
Almighty God, bringing an aroused, agitated
spirited feeling, making men to stand up iso-
lated in their sense of sin and responsibility,
presenting Gods absolute sovereignty, His
just liberty, truths. under which men cannot
be thoughtless Repeat this preaching and
we may expect the same results. Men claim
that changed times require changed preach
ing. But God has not changed in His laws,
holiness or justice Man has changed. There
may be improvement upon the past, but as
man has never improved the balancing of
the clouds in the heavens, so We cannot
eliminate one of the truths of God;
