A great multitude attended this camp-meeting. The ministers preached with “the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven,” and the “arrows were very sharp in the hearts of the king’s enemies.” On Thursday sixty were converted, on Friday one hundred and fifty, on Saturday and Sunday over a hundred each day. It was the opinion of the preachers, and others who took pains to ascertain, that four hundred whites and over one hundred and fifty blacks were converted. The work went on day and night without intermission from Thursday till Monday. Besides Dr. Chandler there were present Henry White, Thomas Birch, James Ridgeway, and John Chalmers. There was a skeptic at the meeting who made some disturbance. He was very fluent, and crowds gathered around him as he argued against the divinity of Jesus, and ridiculed his mysterious birth. At last John Chalmers encountered him, and he was just the man. He inquired of the skeptic, “Do you believe that God created the universe?” He answered, “I do.” “Do you believe God formed man out of the dust of the earth?” He said, “Yes.” Another question: “Do you believe that God formed the woman out of the man?” “Yes.” Then came the crowning question: “Do you think it more difficult for God to create a man out of a woman than a woman out of a man?” The question struck at the foundation of his skepticism. He was confounded; he trembled and wept, and in a little while was on his knees at the mourners’ bench imploring pardon. And he found that the blood of the incarnate Jesus could wash all his guilty stains away. He became an ornament to the Church. Years afterward I saw him with a face that looked toward heaven, declaring, “I seek a better country.” There has been some discussion in our periodicals as to the time when mourners were first invited to the altar for prayers, and with whom the custom originated. As this practice made a new era in the Church, and has been so highly honored of God, the question is one of interest.
