I sat patiently by one of them, whom I knew to be a careless sinner, for hours, and observed with critical attention everything that passed, from the beginning to the end.

I noticed the momentary revivings as from death, the humble confession of sins, the fervent prayer, and the ultimate deliverance; then the solemn thanks and praise to God, and affectionate exhortation to companions and to the people around to repent and come to Jesus.

I was astonished at the knowledge of gospel truth displayed in the address.

The effect was that several sank down into the same appearance of death.

After attending to many such cases, my conviction was complete that it was a good work--the work of God; nor has my mind wavered since on the subject.
