The preachers, filled with the Holy Spirit, ministered the word of reconciliation with earnestness and love, laboring tirelessly to save souls and establish them in faith. The congregations were united in prayer and praise, with families and friends fervently praying for each other's salvation, exhibiting brotherly kindness and divine graces. Despite opposition from philosophers and formalists, the revival brought about unity, love, and a deep desire for truth through the reading of the Bible.
