The world is to-day experiencing a revival of religion which is destined to mark an important epoch in history. It is a revival which has already led thousands in various lands to a knowledge of Jesus Christ, and which its leaders with one accord prophesy will prove to be one of the most momentous in the history of the Christian Church. Thus far in its progress it far surpasses minor movements, and ranks alongside the great revivals of the past, such as the great awakening of 1729 to 1750, under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards, Whitefield, and the Wesleys, and the remarkable revival of 1857-59, which swept over the United States, Wales, and Ireland. The present revival is especially notable because of its cosmopolitan origin and progress. It seems to have originated in a prayer-meeting in Chicago; to have first broken out in Australia in 1902; to have been gradually kindled in England in 1903 and 1904, and to have burst forth into a bright flame in Wales at the beginning of 1905, whence it is now spreading throughout the entire world.
