Forewords

That day which shall convince the great body of professing Christians of the reality and desirableness of revivals, will constitute a new era in the history of religion; and will precede manifestations of power like that of Pentecost.
ALBERT BARNES.

Whatever I possess of religion began in a revival. The most precious, steadfast and vigorous fruits of my ministry have been the fruits of revivals.
CHARLES P. MOILVAINE.

Let your hearts be much set on revivals of religion. Never forget that the churches have hitherto existed and prospered by revivals; and that if they are to exist and prosper in time to come, it must be by the same cause which has from the first been their glory and defence.

I do not believe that my desires for a revival were ever half so strong as they ought to be; nor do I see how a minister can help being in a “constant fever” in such a town as this, where his Master is dishonored and souls are destroyed in so many ways.
EDWARD PAYSON.

Our strong men and strong congregations are fruits of revivals; and ten years without these special refreshings, would show a positive decline in the churches.
MATTHEW SIMPSON.

If any minister can be satisfied without conversions, he shall have no conversions.
CHAS. H. SPURGEON.
