Excerpt from The Evangelistic Awakening For a score of years solitary voices in the wilderness have been proclaiming that the Christian Church is on the eve of such a revival of spiritual religion as her past history has not known or dreamed. Already, in this first decade of the twentieth century, these auguries of the prophesying heart are beginning to make themselves good. There are abundant signs that the period of intellectual criticism is about to give place to an age of moral faith. There are two notes which must characterize any real religious awakening, the spiritual and the ethical note. There must be a restored communion with God and a revival of righteousness. The twin slogans of Methodism, "the Witness of the Spirit" and "Holiness unto the Lord," are the abiding foundations of all true evangelism. These two notes, so aggressively affirmed by Wesley and his coadjutors, have been but too faintly sounded in the evangelical movements of the ninteenth century.
