Thousands of them journeyed through North Wales, taking the Irish packet at Holyhead, that they might witness the power of the Holy Spirit in Ireland, little realising that they were steaming through towns and villages where a far intenser, and certainly a far more permanent, work of grace was in full swing. The writer, owing to inexorable circumstances, confined his researches almost exclusively to the Revival within the boundary of his own Connexion but it is well known that the '59 movement was almost, if not quite, as powerful among the Congregationalists. The Baptists and Wesleyans also received large accessions to their number at this time. There was an increase of communi cants to the C. M. Denomination during the Revival period. It may be safely accepted that the whole harvest of the Revival in Wales did not all far short of a hundred thousand souls. Neither were the results ephemeral. The great majority of the converts satisfied the test of the sage's dictum, The righteous shall hold on his way. It is true that there were sad and numerous relapses but was it not written of the most divine Revival that ever blessed the earth, From that time many of His disciples went back, and walked no more with Him? There was such a reaction in the 'sixties but what was the chaff to the wheat?. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 031857
