252. One of these men immediately arose and said, “No, that is not true; I was not scoffing. I simply said I was not an infidel, but an agnostic… H.C. Van Wormer
253. … and if God wants to save me, I will give Him a fair opportunity. Let Him do it!” H.C. Van Wormer

265. … fishermen in their boats, men behind their looms, men at the pit bank, a merchant out with his van, school teachers examining papers, were gripped by God … H.C. Van Wormer
266. … and by ten o’clock the roads were black with people seeking after God … ” H.C. Van Wormer
267. “ I went along that country road and found in one place three men lying on their faces, so distressed about their souls that they could not talk to me; yet they were never near the meeting I held. This is revival .” H.C. Van Wormer
268. "It appears that we have lost the power to weep, to wrestle, to plead, and to agonize over lost souls."

280. “ When they had spent the usual time together [in prayer], a few went to their own houses; but the rest remained upon their knees, groaning for the great and precious promises of God.
281. “ One being desired to pray, he no sooner began to lift up his voice to God, than the Holy Ghost made intercession in all that were present, with groanings that could not be uttered.
282. “ At length the travail of their souls burst out into loud and ardent cries.”
283. “ They had no doubt of the favour of God; but they could not rest, while there was any thing in them contrary to his nature.”
284. “ One cried out, in an exceeding great agony, “Lord, deliver me from my sinful nature!” then a second, a third, and fourth.”
285. “ And while the person who prayed first, was calling upon God in those words, “Thou God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, hear us for the sake of thy Son Jesus!”
286. … one was heard to say, “Blessed be the Lord God for ever, for he hath cleansed my heart! Praise the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, praise his holy name!”
287. Another said, “I hold thee with a trembling hand, but will not let thee go;” and in a little time cried out, “Praise the Lord with me; for he hath cleansed my heart from sin!”
288. Another cried, “I am hanging over the pit of hell by a slender thread;” a second, with loud and dismal shrieks, “I am in hell: O save me, save me!”
289. while a third said, with a far different voice, “Blessed be the Lord, for he hath pardoned all my sins!”
290. Thus they continued for the space of two hours; some praising and magnifying God, some crying to him for pardon or purity of heart, with the greatest agony of spirit.
