It consists in undervaluing and dishonouring the ministry of those Christian pastors, whose labours are not crowned with revivals in the pop- ular, but erroneous acceptation of that term. The work of the Lord proceeds in their hands, in a steady and uni- form course of improvement : — the flocks, ' to which they minister, grow in grace and in the knyledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ :— the nijfeber of profes- sors receives a regular and pleasir^Mncrease : the church under tlicir care i...s built up in faith, knowledge and purity. But, they have no revivals^ according to the mistaken application of this word. IlThe Lord may descend by his Spirit and refresh his children : — he may arrest and bring hom. E to Christ in the ordinary way, a few loet souls out of the multitudes ready to perish : — the feeble believer may be strengthened, the trembling find relief, the tempted deliverance, the mourning com- fort, the timid courage, the sluggish and inactive obtain REVIVALS 259 quickening and life : but, we are told, it is no revival unless " a great and strong wind rend the mountains and break in pieces the rocks before the Lord, "^ unless there are experienced times of powerful conviction and alarm among sinners : — and if these are not felt, the pas- tors are cumberers of the ground, lukewarm and unproduc- tive labourers in the Lord's vineyard.
