 | | REVIVAL THOUGHTS |
Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival of religion - men whose faith is large enough and their love fiery enough to lead them from this moment to exercise unceasing intercessions that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.
- C. H. Spurgeon
