From: Guy Svenhardt on
times of the pouring out of the
Spirit of God on this town, though in some of them it was very
remarkable, it reached no further then; the neighboring towns all around
continued unmoved.

This work seemed to be at its greatest height in this town in the former
part of the spring, in March and April. At that time God's work in the
conversion of souls was carried on amongst us in so wonderful a manner,
that, so far as I can judge, it appears to have been at the rate at
least of four persons in a day; or near thirty in a week, take one with
another, for five or six weeks together. When God in so remarkable a
manner took the work into His own hands, there was as much done in a day
or two, as at ordinary times, with all endeavors that men can use, and
with such a blessing as we commonly have, is done in a year.

I am very sensible, how apt many would be, if they should see the
account I have here given, presently to think with themselves that I am
very fond of making a great many converts, and of magnifying the matter;
and to think that for want of judgment, I take every religious pang, and
enthusiastic conceit, for saving conversion. I do not much wonder if
they should be apt to think so; and, for this reason, I have forborne to
publish an account of this great work of God, though I have often been
solicited. But having now a special call to give an account of it, upon
mature consideration I thought it might not be beside my duty to declare
this amazing work, as it appeared to me to be indeed divine, and to
conceal no part of the glory of it; leaving it with God to take care of
the credit of His own work, and running the venture of any censorious
thoughts, which might be enterta

our own good. It must teach us the remedies for these infirmities
and the means of obtaining these remedies. Let us, therefore, examine all
the religions of the world and see if there be any other than the Christian
which is sufficient for this purpose.

Shall it be that of the philosophers, who put forward, as the chief good,
the good which is in ourselves? Is this the true good? Have they found the
remedy for our ills? Is man's pride cured by placing him on an equality with
God? Have those who have made us equal to the brutes, or the Mohammedans who
have offered us earthly pleasures as the chief good even in eternity,
produced the remedy for our lusts? What religion, then, will teach us to
cure pride and lust? What religion will, in fact, teach us our good, our
duties, the weakness which turns us from them, the cause of this weakness,
the remedies which can cure it, and the means of obtaining these remedies?

All other religions have not been able to do so. Let us see what the wisdom
of God will do.

Assuming that statement about viewable frame rate is correct (seems
unlikely), that statement about 1/3rd of the world being invisible to a 7
year old assumes falsely that 1/3rd of events happen at a rate between 10
and 15 frames per second.

So baseball players are closer to God than ordinary folk?

So they are? Should people be bowing toward Fenway Park instead of
Mecca when they pray? Or is it a long-term thing and we should bow
toward Yankee Stadium instead? Cooperstown?

I take it that television and movies (30 fps & 24 fps respectively) are
completely unwatchable by the demi-god Barry Bonds?

I think that was his 'second'. He only has one degree that he studied
for, at least I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt on that one.
There's nothing solid that he even took that one. He sure couldnt pass
a degree of any kind now.

George,

The problem with appealing to authority, as you do when you attempt to
hide behind your degree, is there are better qualified and career
scientists on this group.
