“Establish Revival meetings there, call the denominations together. Explain “The Four Conditions”: If there is past sin or sins hitherto unconfessed we cannot receive the Spirit. Therefore we must search, and ask the Spirit to search. If there is anything doubtful in our lives it must be removed. Anything we are uncertain about, its rightness or wrongness, that thing must be removed. An entire giving up of ourselves to the Spirit; we must speak and do all that He requires of us. Public confession of Christ. And at the end of the meeting let all who have confessed Christ remain behind and initiate the round of prayer. Take care that each one prays: Send the Spirit now for Jesus Christ’s sake; Send the Spirit powerfully now for Jesus Christ’s sake; Send the Spirit more powerfully now for Jesus Christ’s sake; Send the Spirit still more powerfully now for Jesus Christ’s sake.”14 This form of prayer would have had its roots more in early monasticism than in the tradition within which he grew up. The simplicity of this prayer “crafted” by the Holy Spirit was dynamite when it was prayed out by those who had previously been silent witnesses in the face of the power of God.”

“A great number of young people have been inspired to such an extent as to make them courageous enough to speak to sinners every chance they get...prayer meetings are held in the trains and many converts are made. The public houses and beer clubs are empty; old debts are paid, jealousy vanishes, church and family feuds are healed; great drunkards, prize fighters and gamblers pray in the services and give their testimony; the chapels throughout the populous valleys of Glamorganshire are full every night, all denominations have sunk their small differences to co-operate as one body and the huge processions along the streets send a thrill of terror through the vilest sinners. Owing to these things the attention of the whole of South Wales is entirely captivated, the revival is the topic in all spheres and amongst all sections of society; and strong people are overwhelmed by reading the newspaper accounts of it. People begin to pour in from all parts of England, Scotland, Ireland to see and judge for themselves of the nature and characteristics of the movement and most of them say - “This is truly the work of the Holy Spirit and it is wonderful”2”
