Letters on Revival or REVIVAL FIRE

Beloved in the Lord, - Many of you are aware that several years since

a series of lectures on the subject of revivals was published through the

columns of the New York "Evangelist." These lectures were preached by

me to my own congregation in the city of New York, and reported by the

editor of that paper. Since the publication of those lectures, my

observation and experience on the subject have been continually

developing and ripening, until I am very desirous of saying many

additional things to my brethren on this subject.

When I first began to preach, I was without knowledge and without

experience on the subject of revivals. I had but a very limited Christian

experience. The Lord led me in a way that I knew not. I have recently

thought that it might be useful to the Churches,
