Religious Excitement in the Church
A WRITER in one of our Baptist exchanges makes these sensible remarks: “Some of your correspondents are apparently fond of letting the public know that they had a blessed meeting in their church, without any excitement. What does this signify? The New Testament narratives of revivals give us to understand that the old-time people were somewhat excited when they felt and saw the power of God. In my humble opinion, this world is the most quiet place (religiously) in the universe. We have excitement in every place but the church—here quiet, sometimes dullness and indolence, reign supreme. We are too much afraid of excitement.
