Excerpts from Adam Clarke’s journal while at Bristol.
On Monday morning I had at five o'clock such a congregation as I think I never saw in Bristol; several of the great folks, too, were hearing for life. These things are tokens for good. Our friends tell me there is a great stir all around Bristol. In such a large place it cannot be so palpable as in a smaller; but, thank God, this is no matter.
In Bath I had one soul for my hire at the last preaching: such a power from on high rested on all as I have seldom seen. God seemed to have given the people into my hand."
We continued singing, praying, and exhorting until half-past twelve, during which time strong prayers, cries, and tears bore testimony to the present power of God. How excellent the Lord is in working!
