" "No irregularities, " says a third, " were witnessed, no crying out in public worship, no boisterous expressions of joy, no au- cfrbte sighing or groaning. " The Committee say of the whole Presbytery, " The religious services generally have been orderly, still, and solemn;' never- interrupted by loud and boisterous expres- sionBj either of grief or joy ; never rendered offen^ sive to the ear of refinement by low allusions or coarse and vulgar- expressions, nor painful to the ear of piety by a...n irreverent and affected familiarity with saCred things. No quaint and questionable expedients have been resorted to for the purpose o eflect ; no audible praying of females in promis- cuous assemblies. " While passionate and disorderly revivals pror duce fatal delusions without number, your Pres^- bytery have guarded with most commendable oau- 8 lion against false hopes. This they have done in three ways. First, by substituting knowledge for high excitement. "Many, " says one, "whose hope at first was strong and sanguine, were, on being instructed in the nature and evidence of a change of heart, induced to relinquish their hope entirely, and have since given conclusive evidence that it was at first but a delusion.
