"Saya membaca tentang kebangunan rohani di masa lalu, kebangunan rohani besar di mana ribuan orang tersapu ke Kerajaan Allah. Saya membaca tentang Charles G. Finney memenangkan ribuan dan ratusan ribu jiwanya kepada Kristus. Lalu saya mengambil sebuah buku dan membaca pesan-pesan Charles G. Finney dan pesan Jonathan Edwards tentang 'Orang-Orang Berdosa di Tangan Dewa Marah,' dan saya berkata, 'Tidak heran orang-orang gemetar; tidak heran mereka jatuh di altar dan berteriak dalam penyesalan dan tersedu-sedu menuju takhta kasih karunia! '"

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' and I said, 'No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!'
