Lessons of the Welsh Revival

About this ebook
I have not read
these words as a text, but as an introduction, to what I desire to say, as God
shall help me, concerning the most recent manifestation of’ the Pentecostal
power. I refer to the great work of God that is going on in Wales at this time;
and I trust that something more than curiosity makes you desire to hear of this
work, for I am not speaking with any intention to satisfy curiosity. I want now
in the simplest way to speak to you, first, very briefly, and as far as it is
possible, of what my own eyes have seen, my own ears heard, and my own heart
felt.
I do this in order that, we may ask finally, what are the
lessons God would teach us in this day of His visitation? Yet I cannot help
reverting, before going further, to the passage that I have read in your
hearing. Peter stood in the midst of one of the most wonderful scenes that the
world has ever beheld. When men said of the shouting multitude that they were
drunk, Peter said, “No, those men are not drunken as ye suppose”; but “this is
that,” which was spoken by the Prophet Joel. If anyone shall say to me, “What
do you think of the Welsh Revival?” I say at once, “This is that.”
G. Campbell Morgan
George Campbell Morgan was born in Tetbury, England, on December 9, 1893. At the young age of thirteen, Morgan began preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Morgan and his wife, Annie, had four boys and three girls. His four sons followed him into the ministry.Morgan visited the United States for the first time in 1896, the first of fifty-four times he crossed the Atlantic to preach and teach. In 1897, Morgan accepted a pastorate in London, where he often traveled as a preacher and was involved in the London Missionary Society. After the death of D. L. Moody in 1899, Morgan assumed the position of director of the Northfield Bible Conference in Massachusetts. After five successful years in this capacity, in 1904 he returned to England and became pastor of Westminster Chapel, London, where he served for the next thirteen years, from 1904 to 1917. Thousands of people attended his services and weekly Friday night Bible classes.He had no formal training for the ministry, but his devotion to studying the Bible made him one of the leading Bible teachers of his day. In 1902, Chicago Theological Seminary conferred on him an honorary doctor of divinity degree. Although he did not have the privilege of studying in a seminary or a Bible college, he has written books that are used in seminaries and Bible colleges all over the world. Morgan died on May 16, 1945, at the age of eighty-one.

Lessons of the Welsh Revival - G. Campbell Morgan
It Is Pentecost Continued,
without one single moment’s doubt.
But, for a few moments let me speak of the thing itself. Let me talk familiarly and quietly, as though sitting in my own room.
I left London on Monday, reaching Cardiff at 8:30 that evening: and my friend who met me said to me, What are you going to do? Will you go home, or will you go to the meeting?
I said, What, meeting?
He said, There is a meeting in Roath Road Chapel?
Oh,
I said I would rather have a meeting than home.
We went. The meeting had been going on an hour and a half when we got there, and we stayed for two hours and a half, and went home, and the meeting was still going on, and I had not then touched what is spoken of as—it is not my phrase, but it is expressive—the fire zone.
I was on the outskirts of the work. It was a wonderful night, utterly without order, characterised from first to last by the orderliness of the Spirit of
