As to his later utterances in theology, and on some questions of ethics, I dissented from my old friend conscientiously, and I expressed to him my dissent very candidly,--as becometh brethren.

Charles G.Finney was the acknowledged king of American evangelists until Dwight L.Moody came on the stage of action.

They resembled each other in untiring industry, unflinching courage, unswerving devotion to the marrow of the Gospel, and unreserved consecration to the service of Christ.

The secret of Finney's power was the fearless manner with which he drove God's word into the consciences of sinners--high or humble--and his perpetual reliance on the immediate presence of the Holy Spirit in his own soul.

Emptied of self, he was filled with the Holy Spirit.
