and carried back with them something of what God was doing. And we
celebrate, and most evangelicals here in Ulster celebrate the 1859
revival, but they don't realize that the 1859 revival started in New
York with a prayer meeting of 12,000 men, Fulton Street prayer meeting
in New York, but many don't realize that two Presbyterians traveled on
the boat over to that prayer meeting. Dr. William Gibson, if any of you
have read the book The Year of Grace, all about the 1859 revival, he
went to New York and Reverend William McClure visited there as well, and
they saw what God was doing there, and of course he was doing it in
Great Britain as well, but they came back and they reported what they
had witnessed, and that sparked something in the spirit.
