Excerpt from Times of Refreshing: A History of American Revivals From 1740-1877, With Their Philosophy and Methods In presenting this book on American Revivals the author is very conscious that he has not compassed his subject. He has written in the hope of helping the Church in her present revival work. He has therefore given much space to an account of present revival movements. Such an account must of necessity he rather of the nature of a sketch than of a history. The limits of this hook have forbidden any exhaustive consideration of the early history of revivals in this country. Indeed, it has hardly been necessary to the purpose in view, which has been to show the thread of common teaching and endeavor running through all these years. While methods have differed in different periods, the essential elements of Divine Truth and Divine Grace are the same at all times. Amid the whirl of the revival scenes of this day, it would be difficult, if not impossible, to write an abiding history of these times. That can better be done in the perspective of other days. That has not been attempted. The practical aim of furthering the gospel by giving a report of its triumphs has been steadily held in view. As a season of revival is one of great encouragement, so it has been hoped the history of God's dealing with the American church in this regard would be a mighty stimulus for future activity and conquest.

Excerpt from Great Revivals and the Great Republic This volume is a study of American history from a standpoint which has been generally overlooked by writers upon both the secular and the religious history of the United States. It has been prepared with a view of doing good to both Church and State by the promotion of a pious patriotism and the stimulation of a patriotic piety. In its pages, it is hoped, will be found disclosed such a connection between the religious history and the civil development of the Great Republic as will inspire the patriot with fresh devotion and move the Christian to renewed zeal. It is especially desired that men of all classes and of all shades of opinion may be led to a just appreciation of that evangelical and evangelistic type of Christianity which must be the security of our institutions for the years to come, as it has been their inspiration and preservation in the days that are gone. It is believed that a careful and unprejudiced consideration of the facts presented will lead to the conclusion that a revivalistic religion-the prevalent form of Christianity in American Churches-is at once the salvation of our own country and the hope of other lands.
