During the progress of the meeting, Mr.Murray and the ministers assisting him became aware that they were in the presence of some remarkable and mysterious phenomenon.

The people listened to the Word with an intensity, response, and eagerness that gave token of a state of mind and heart wholly unusual.

Here and there, while the psalms were being sung or prayers being offered, women and men would break down in audible weeping; and in the preaching the speaker was conscious of a power possessing him that he could not explain.
At length the last psalm was given out, and the congregation, contrary to their usual custom, by the minister's direction, rose to sing.
As John "Aleck" led the people in that great volume of praise, the ministers held a hasty consultation in the pulpit.

The professor had never seen anything so marvelous; Mr.Murray was reminded of the days of W.C.Burns.The question was, What was to be done?
Should the meetings be continued, or should they close tonight?
They had a great fear of religious excitement.

They had seen something of the dreadful reaction following a state of exalted religious feeling.
