A praying circle was
formed, to which those who believed in the power of prayer, together with such
as were penitent for sin, resorted. Effectual, fervent prayers were poured
forth from the souls of the devoted men of God [aka clergy], accompanied by the responses
and ejaculations of the pious multitude, and the long drawn sigh, and humble
prayer of those burdened with the load of sin.
All this was not unavailing. The Saviour came in mighty power, and
displayed the glory of his grace in the midst, until shouts of victory and
songs of redeeming love burst forth from the happy bosoms of all who had come
forward as penitent mourners. The
battle was fought, a complete victory gained, and we retired to our tents,
triumphing in the Lord.
