Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from A Letter to the Rev. Dr. William B. Sprague: Published in the Appendix to His Volume of Lectures on Revivals Reverend and Dear Sir, You ask me for some account of the early American revivals in the modern series, particularly those in which I was permitted to take a part, and those which have occurred in this college; together with my views of the proper means of conducting them and of guarding against the dangers incident to their abuse. Long before the death of Whitefield in 1770, extensive revivals in America had ceased. And except one in Stockbridge and some other parts of Berkshire county, Mas. about the year 1772 ;and one in the North Quarter of Lyme, Conn, about the year 1780 ;and one in several towns of Litchfield county, Conn, about the year 1783; I know of none which occurred afterwards till the time of which I am to speak. About the year 1792 commenced three series of events of sufficient importance to constitute a new era. That year the blood began to flow in Europe, in that contest which, with short intervals, was destined to destroy the "man of sin" and to introduce a happier form of society and the glorious state of the Church. That year was established at Kettering in England, the first in the continuous series of societies which have covered the whole face of the Protestant world and introduced the age of missions and of active benevolence. And that year or the year before began the unbroken series of American revivals. There was a revival in North Yarmouth, Me. in 1791. In the summer of 1792 one appeared in Lee, in the county of Berkshire. The following November, the first that I had the privilege of witnessing showed itself on the borders of East Haddam and Lyme, Conn, which apparently brought to Christ about a hundred souls. Since that time revivals have never ceased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
