Revival at Kilsyth

A memorable revival began at Kilsyth on July 23, 1839. William C. Burns wrote at the time: "I have since heard that some of the people of God in Kilsyth had been longing and wrestling for a time of refreshing from the Lord's presence. During much of the previous night, after travailing in birth for souls, came to the meeting not only with the hope, but with the certain anticipation of God's glorious appearing. This came from the impression they had received upon their own souls of Jehovah's approaching glory and majesty."
