The Shantung Revival

The compiler of this collection of testimonies does not in the least want to be considered as an "author," for there is almost no original composition in it. On the contrary it is composed of letters and testimonies written informally as friend to friend. These were written that Jesus Christ might be glorified. We ask your patience in reading not in a critical, but in a prayerful spirit. Not all the testimonies could be given, so selection had to be made of those which were representative. In the case of the healing of the eighteen-year paralytic, and the case of little Samuel the facts were attested by missionaries; in the other cases the local Chinese Christians gave the evidence to the supervising Missionary who saw the persons who had been healed. Should the question of healing in answer to prayer trouble you, we suggest a reading of A. J. Gordon's Ministry of Healing, a book which fell into the writer's hands after this book had been compiled; also an unprejudiced study of this subject from the Word of God. In fact had not this revival had the witness of the Spirit that it was in harmony with the Word of God, the leaders concerned would never have entered into it. Eph. 5: 18. MARY CRAWFORD.

“Not by might, nor by power, but My Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts” “Christians are as guilty for not having the Spirit, as sinners are for not repenting. They are even more so. As they have more light, they are so much the more guilty. All beings have a right to complain of Christians who have not the Spirit.”
