A little More Finney

Below are a couple of quotes from Finney's "Memoirs" regarding the manifestations had seen and experienced years earlier in John Wesley's meetings.


[In Adams, New York, in 1822:]Before the week was out I learned that some of them, when they would attempt to observe this season of prayer, would lose all of their strength and be unable to rise to their feet, or even stand upon their knees in their closets" (pp. 44-45).
[In Antwerp, New York,] The congregation began to fall from their seats in every direction, and cried for mercy. If I had had a sword in each hand, I could not have cut them off their seats as fast as they fell" (p. 103).
