By the very supposition, the dispensation being extraordinary, the moral elements of the particular community had been unaccustomed to such influences. The opera- tion of the whole, therefore, in the first instance, especially if the work be powerful, is somewhat of the nature of a sudden and astounding sur- prise. The public mind is arrested unexpect- edly, and seems brought to a solemn pause. This novel agitation of the moral elements, this un- wonted stirring up of the deep fountains of feel...ing, in view of religious truth, takes all minds, of Christians as well as others, and often of ministers, by surprise. And unless there is ^me experience of such a state of things to Digitized by VjOOQ IC 197 guide and control the public feeling, there is danger of some degree of unhealthful excite- ment, of some irregularities, and in particular instances, of unhappy results.
