Twopence Revival Fervour in Scotland PRINCIPAL'S TRIUMPHANT TOUR. Crowds - Converts - Healings Everywhere Fresh from the stirring scenes of revival power and blessing in Aberdeen and Dundee, Principal George Jeffreys and Party arrived in Dunfermline. Al ­ though it was their first visit to this historic town, remarkable scenes of revival fervour were wit­ nessed. Enthusiastic crowds flocked to the Y.M.C.A. Hall and the St. Margaret's Hal l and :y sat spellbound under the powerful ministry of the 11-it Principal. In response to the soul-stirring presenta­ ,ve tion of the truth forty souls decided for Christ fe~' amidst rejoicing on the part of the saints. As in the former places God's power was manifested in healing and there were many testimonies. After the week-end meetings in Dunferml ine, the Party were most enthusiastically received by the saints at Ed inburgh. Night after night the Word went forth with astonishing results, and the people were held in the grip of Holy Ghost ministry. Here again signs confirmed the Word and there were forty decisions. Conviction rested so mightily upon the congregations that some remained behind to give themselves to Christ after the close of the meetings. It was encouraging to hear the testimonies of those who had been healed during the Principal's former campaign in this city and who are standing to-day. The send-off at the close of the last meeting will long be remembered. The Party drove away amidst strains of " W ill ye no' come back again? " Readers, pray on for the remainder of the Scottish tour. /I ).,..'I will; ' ill W be thou ' · cle an :· Cover ii. TIIE' ELii\! EVANGEL :\ND FOURS<JU,\RI.; RE\"IVALIST l't·hruary 28th. 1936.

  • The Move to Independence from Anglican Leadership
    THE MOVE TO INDEPENDENCE FROM ANGLICAN LEADERSHIP: AN EXAMINATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALEXANDER ALFRED BODDY AND THE EARLY LEADERS OF THE BRITISH PENTECOSTAL DENOMINATIONS (1907-1930) by KYU-HYUNG CHO A Thesis Submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Philosophy, Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham September 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the relationship between the leaders of the Anglican Church, centring on Alexander Alfred Boddy (1854-1930), considered the father of British Pentecostalism, and the young Pentecostals in the process of formation of the three major Pentecostal denominations, namely, the Apostolic Faith Church, the Assemblies of God and the Elim Church. Although there were not many Anglican participants in British Pentecostalism and most Pentecostals came from Nonconformist backgrounds, Boddy dominated the leadership from the beginning. As a result, most of the British Pentecostals who were actively involved in the forming of Pentecostal denominations were either directly or indirectly influenced by him. However, as Pentecostalism grew, disagreement and conflict appeared over certain issues and intensified during the period when the Pentecostal denominations were taking shape.

AMAZING REVIVAL SCENES In celebration of the twenty-first Anniversary of the commence­ ment of the Elim work in Northern Ireland, Principal George Jeffreys and his Revival Party are conducting a big tent cam­ paign in the city of Belfast. Little did they realise a short time ago how wonderfully God was to answer the prayers of His faithful people, for words fail to describe the glorious out­ pouring of the Holy Sp irit which is being experienced in the city as a result of t-his great campaign. Right from the commence­ ment the big tent, the largest Evangelistic tent in the British Isles, has been besieged by enthusiastic thousands ,and packed to overHowing night after night. It is a moving sight to witness the thronging crowds as they Hook to the revival services and to see them as they leave after each meeting with their faces beaming w ith t he joy of the Lord. Christians of all denomina­ tions are taking part in the revival and their testimony is " We have never seen it on this fashion before. " The Principal, endued with power f rom on high, is declaring the Word of God with boldness, and sa ints and sinners alike are held spell­ bound by his powerful addresses. The power of God sweeps over the vast congregations bringing conviction and conversion to many. Up to the time of going to Press more than two­ hundred-and-fifty souls have accepted Christ as Saviour, saints give grateful testimony to bodily healing, while others rejoice in a Pentecostal b~ptism in the Holy Spirit.

  • Pentecostal Rays
    PENTECOSTAL RAYS The Baptism and Gifts of the Holy Spirit by Principal George Jeffreys (Founder and leader of The Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance) Elim Publishing Company, Limited Park Crescent, Clapham Park, S.W.4. First Published July 1944 Foreword. by one who has witnessed the phenomena of Pentecost under the Author’s ministry. The twentieth century Church has experienced a miraculous manifestation of the Holy Spirit’s power unparalleled in her history since the first few centuries of the Christian era. A revival of the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit is in evidence. The outbreak of revival was spontaneous and not organised, breaking forth in different parts, and among different groups of Christians at the same time. The great opportunity for evangelical churches had arrived. At their disposal was power adequate to combat materialism and spiritism. But they did not know the day of their visitation. In consequence of the Church’s official attitude, which was Pharisaical, numbers of Christians found themselves virtually excommunicated, and generally met together in back-street mission halls and in private houses. The result was that Pentecost went back to the upper room and stayed there, except for a few urgent souls who became foreign missionaries. Such was the condition that obtained in the British Isles when the author of this book was guided by the Holy Spirit to found the Elim Foursquare Gospel Alliance. Against fanatical opposition from sincere but mistaken people from within, and organised prejudice from without, Principal George Jeffreys led the movement to the public, and established its churches in main thoroughfares of each of the four countries of the British Isles, besides sending missionaries to different parts of the world.
