The Irish Revival Appropriated.
At the Presbyterian General Assembly in Ireland, Professor Gibson, the Moderator, "raked down"—as some professional gentlemen say—on the great revival, and thus described how God felt toward the Presbyterian Church:
"The present revival was a conversion of sinners, and, if they wanted a proof of the truth of the doctrines and polity of the Presbyterian Church,' they had it in this revival. Upon whom had God showered down his blessings? Upon the Presbyterian Church.' It was her pastures he had watered and made green and flourishing. Some wished to represent that this revival was breaking down distinctions of creed, inasmuch, they said, as that God was pouring out his Spirit on all churches alike. Such was wholly incorrect. God had blessed the Presbyterian Church,' thus giving a proof that in her Jehovah took delight. The Presbyterian Church' did not substitute for the supremacy of Christ, Succession and Confirmation, and other forms and rituals of man's inventing. but took his own Holy Word as their standard, and God has given them and the world, in the revival, a proof of the truth of Presbyterianism."
