[The Man From Glengarry by Ralph Connor]@TWC D-Link bookThe Man From Glengarry CHAPTER XVI 5/18
"Will any one second it ?" Kenny Crubach at once rose and said: "We are always slow at following the Lord.
Let us go forward." The minister waited for some moments after Kenny had spoken, and then said, in a voice grave and with a feeling of responsibility in it: "You have heard these brethren, my people.
I wait for the expression of your desire." Like one man the great congregation rose to their feet.
It was a scene profoundly impressive, and with these serious-minded, sober people, one that indicated overwhelming emotion. And thus the great revival began. For eighteen months, night after night, every night in the week except Saturday, the people gathered in such numbers as to fill the new church to the door.
Throughout all the busy harvest season, in spite of the autumn rains that filled the swamps and made the roads almost impassable, in the face of the driving snows of winter, through the melting ice of the spring, and again through the following summer and autumn, the great revival held on.
