If a preacher can preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ faithfully, and the Lord God is with him, why rob him of the joy of the harvest by sending away for any stranger?
My plan of action was this.

Twice on each Sabbath, and on two evenings in the week, I preached as clearly and pungently as I could; sometimes to awakened souls, sometimes to backsliders, sometimes to the impenitent, sometimes to souls who were seeking salvation.

I spoke of the great central truths:--personal guilt, Christ's atoning work, the offices of the Spirit, redemption, the claims of the Saviour, the necessity of immediate repentance, immediate acceptance of Christ and the joy and power of an useful Christian life.

During a revival, sermons make themselves; they grow spontaneously.

On the Monday evening of each week our young people had the field with their regular gatherings, and new converts were encouraged to narrate their experiences.
