The Revival Epoch of 1800 Part 1

"For many years the Christian world had been sunk in a profound slumber in regard to the duty of giving the gospel to the heathen; but for the last four and thirty years they have been waking up. He who has engravers Zion on the palms of his hands—who never wants means to fulfil his promises—has sent his heavenly influence to rouse the Christian world. He beheld the desolations of Zion, and has come to rebuild her ruined walls. He heard the groans of his people as, with harps on the willows, they were weeping 'by the rivers of Babylon,' and has come to bring them again 'to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads.'
