Evidence: | 'Last evening we had more than fifty guests, some influential persons of this world, young and old, French and English - one Spaniard, two Americans. We first had the subject of slavery brought before us, for rather more than an hour ... I finished with a Scripture reading, referring to the subject that had been brought before us; the first part of the 61st chapter of Isaiah. "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me" etc and a portion in Luke where our Lord brings it forward. I felt a real unction I believe I may say from the spirit, to speak such words as I had to say, with power.' |
