Author Description

Excerpt from Centenary Memorial of the Planting and Growth of Presbyterianism in Western Pennsylvania and Parts Adjacent: Containing the Historical Discourses Delivered at a Convention of the Synods of Pittsburgh, Erie, Cleveland, and Columbus, Held in Pittsburgh, December 7-9, 1875 In 1842 there was a convocation of ministers and elders from the Synods of Pittsburgh, Wheeling, and Ohio, at which the venerable Elisha Macurdy, then in the eightieth year of his age, appeared, and addressed the convention with great affection and solemnity, closing with this appeal, Brethren, wake up! Talk to sinners kindly, affectionately, frequently, and God will pour out his Spirit. I have no doubt but God is ready to pour out his Spirit if we will do our duty. Farewell, brethren, and may God be with you. This convention was followed by large outpourings of the Spirit of God.
