Recollections of the Late J. G. Bellett Chapter 5

My father wrote a short pamphlet at this time, entitled, “A few words on the Present Revival” some paragraphs of which I quote here. In it he refers to the “physical effects” which in some cases attended this remarkable movement. “That sudden or strong affections of the mind have had wonderful effects on the body must have been the observation of every age, so that we need not speak of it. “But that Scripture both recognises and. illustrates this fact when the affection of the mind is conviction of sin, we may profitably consider for a little.” (There is here a reference to Psalm 32. To Daniel 10, where “the prophet tells us that when the glory appeared to him his ‘comeliness was turned into corruption,’ and this was conscience, not disease. The glory, or the divine presence, let Daniel know that he was a sinner; and the sense of that was intolerable.) “A sinner comes short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23.) https://plymouthbrethren.org/series/6219
