The whole day was a real feast of good things. With the singing of the first hymn the power of God was manifest in a remarkable way. They were real Pentecostal gatherings. A unique feature of the ser­ vices were the personal testimonies given of those who had been baptised in the old-fashioned way.

It was quite evident that this experience had gripped them in an amazing way. Unitedly they testified that through receiving the Baptism in the Holy Spirit their LIVES W:ERE REVOLUTIONISED, The Holy Spirit gave to them greater power for ser­ vice, a greater love for God's people, a keener desire to study God's Word and greater joy in private and public worship. This Pentecostal blessing means the enduement with a power that possesses and holds-it grips and captivates.
