REVIVAL
AND PRAYER

The disappearance of the “prayer meeting” from the life of many churches is something which occasions widespread regret, even among many who would not normally attend. Indeed, the prayer meeting in which the laity participated freely is a legacy from the 1859 (Ulster) Revival …These prayer meetings were not in many cases in existence before the revival set in. The very establishment of them in the first instance, was an evidence that it was spring-time again in the Church of Christ, and the restoration of them today would be for her reviving once more.
