Moody & Sankey 1875 in London (Santamaria)

  Moody’s London work (especially the big Moody–Sankey campaign in 1875) drew real-time criticism that it produced unhealthy side-effects, even from people who weren’t denying that some good also occurred.

MORE OF THE FRUITS (BEEBE) 1840

In primitive times of the Baptist church, the criterion by which the genuineness of a religious revival was demonstrated was according to Acts ii. 42. The converts continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread and in prayers. But the revivalists of the New School have now hit upon a criterion much better suited to their purpose. Mr. Jacob Knapp, in reporting, through the Baptist Advertiser of New York, the result of his efforts at Albany, holds the following language: “As one evidence of the genuineness of this work, it may be a duty to say, that one of the converts, a member of the Green Street congregation, handed brother Hodge fifteen hundred dollars - five hundred for foreign missions, and five hundred for domestic missions, five hundred for the American and Foreign Bible Society; and on Saturday before I left I went out among the converts and members of Dr. Welch’s church and congregation, and obtained five thousand dollars for the Literary and Theological Institutions of the State of New York. I am quite certain that in these times of great depression in money matters, nothing but the grace of God could have opened these earthly fountains, withered and killed the root of all evil, and caused the golden stream to flow so freely. 

Yours with much affection, 
JACOB KNAPP.” 

MORAL SUASION OR NATURAL CONVICTION, VS. THE FAITH OF THE GOSPEL (BEEBE) 1843

To those who are unacquainted with the real grounds of difference between the views of the Old School Baptists and those of the new order, some remarks on the above subject may be interesting. The subject of evangelical faith is frequently treated as though there existed no difference between the natural convictions of the mental powers of man, and that faith which the apostle says is “Of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.” - Col. 2.12. 

FRUITS OF THE REVIVAL (BEEBE) 1858

A REVIVAL CERTIFICATE

This is how far some went to collect money for Sunday Schools. The words are shocking. - ed.

PROTRACTED MEETINGS...

ASSOCIATIONS.
REMARKS ON AN ARTICLE IN THE “CROSS AND BAPTIST JOURNAL.”

WE freely admit that the argument of our correspondent alluded to, in favor of continuing associational meetings, would come very far short of demonstrating that they were of God. This we were aware of when we inserted the letter; but our brother barely expressed his thoughts on the subject - he did not attempt to enter into the full merits of the subject argumentatively. 

PATENT RIGHT FOR GETTING UP REVIVALS...

IN the professedly orthodox American Baptist, we are greeted with an extract from a Pastor’s sketchbook, showing by what sort of machinery a drunkard was converted, by the effort of said pastor, assisted by two females, extracted from the N. Y. Evangelist; to which are added the following remarks:
