Synopsis

Excerpt from Revival Extravagance Caused by Respectable Indifference: A Sermon Preached in the Church of the Messiah, at Chicago, by Rev. Brooke Herford, During the Revival Meetings of Messrs. Moody and Sankey "The prophet that hath a dream let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? said the Lord." - Jer. xxiii. xxviii. It has come very strongly to my mind, in the course of testifying against the extravagance of this revival which is now going on, that there is a word which urgently needs saying on another side of the subject. I feel that this revival movement should suggest something else to those of us who have no faith in it, - calls for something else from us besides criticism or protest. Even the fact that the criticism and protest were called forth not by the mere mischievousness of the preaching, but by the vehement denunciation of all who could not so preach, does not lessen the necessity for something more and better. It is always a poor thing to hinder what others are doing - mistakenly, it may be, but still earnestly, - and to offer nothing nobler instead. Especially is it poor when the slackness and inefficiency of the nobler thing is the very cause of the success of that which is less noble. And that is exactly what strikes me about that work which I have felt obliged to speak out against, and which in less public ways so many in other churches have spoken against. This "revival" is not something that stands alone, unconnected with any thing else. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
