Our great American revivalist Finney writes: 〃I said to myself:
'What is this? I must have grieved the Holy Ghost entirely away。
I have lost all my conviction。 I have not a particle of concern

'Why!' thought I; 'I never was so far from being concerned about
my own salvation in my life。' 。 。 。 I tried to recall my
convictions; to get back again the load of sin under which I had
been laboring。 I tried in vain to make myself anxious。 I was so
quiet and peaceful that I tried to feel concerned about that;
lest it should be the result of my having grieved the Spirit
away。〃'119'

following lecture。
