True Revival

To the church, a revival means humiliation, a bitter knowledge of unworthiness and an open and humiliating confession of sin on the part of her ministers and people. It is not the easy and glorious thing many think it to be.... It comes to scorch before it heals; it comes to condemn ministers and people for their unfaithful witness, for their selfish living, for their neglect of the cross...

—James Anderson Burns (1865–1945, founder of the Oneida Baptist Institute, Primitive Baptist preacher).
