Mr Thomas Abraham of Maguiresbridge writes, "Our largest, chapels cannot contain the crowds of anxious hearers who attend our ministry so that we have occasionally to address them in the open air. The truth thus sent forth among thousands, accompanied by the Holy Spirit, has to a wide extent destroyed the face of the covering cast over the people and the veil that was spread over the hearts of the unregenerate, the result of which has been that since the Conference about one hundred and fifty have turned from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God."
