“A

not
a

upon
a
miracle
in
any
sense.
It
is
a
purely
a
scientific
result
of
the
right
use
of
established
[methods].
It
is
impossible
for
us
to
say
there
is
not
as
direct
an
influence
from
God
to
produce
a

as
there
is
to

a

you

called

when
Finney
would
come
to
a

Church
to
conduct

it
had
a

would

no

in

you
should

should

a

and
you
should
bring

outside

.
the
pastor
has
a
wonderful
ministry
of
teaching
the

and
of
of

of
pastors
primary
mixing
