Great Awakening Predicted.
That the golden age of religious enthusiasm and activity is about to sweep over this country and that an unequaled spiritual revival is to be experienced, is the prediction made by Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, in a sermon at Plymouth Church, Brooklyn.
"Society has passed through the era of criticism and analysis and is now becoming creative," he said. "We have been in a hothouse condition for twenty years. We have analyzed the Bible and dogmatized the Bible, and have had heresy trials that were more dangerous than Chicago fires, and we have asked questions and answered them. We have passed from the old thought that the world was created in six days to the new thought that God is making a new world every moment. At length we understand that God is not far off, that he is not to interrupt our laws with miracles, but that he is close to man and is living with him all the time. All this is the result of science. We are at the beginning of one of the greatest church-going epochs in all history."
