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. Yes, the Acts of the Apostles are being repeated in Belfast at this time, proving conclusively that the days of miracles are not past. Readers, pray on that the revival fire might burn its way into every place where the Name of the Lord is -honoured and exalted. Cover ii.
