No. 5732 in Roberts, Revival Literature: An Annotated Bibliography. "Criticism of revivals by an Episcopal leader."

White asserts that the Holy Spirit is effectual and evident in true revivals, and that although there may be an admixture of good and evil in the popular revivals then present, the extravagances and "animal sensibility" of the events were not signs of the Holy Spirit.
