Spent the forenoon at Lodge. In the afternoon we went out tracting. Had good success. In the evening, we went to the Drill Hall to hear McNeal the Presbyterian revivalist speak. He had a congregation of about four hundred. They first sang, then he called on the congregation to all bow their heads and pray. He used some awful expressions such as these Pray! Pray!! Pray!!! That God will give Carlisle such a shaking up she has never had before and may he send a great revival among the people. After this they sang again and McNeal arose and spoke on the 19th chapter of Luke, intermingling with the text tricky stories and cunning expressions to blind the minds of the people and lead them from the true Gospel plan to the erroneous doctrine of Justification by Faith alone. And he said if baptisms saves a person, the bishops had better get a hose and turn it on the people. He had a majority of the people enthused and worked up to such a pitch they were ready to unite with his dogmas. At the door as we went out [there] were envelopes passed containing a blank which was to be filled out by an individual who wished to be saved. The collecting box was passed before he preached his sermon and just before the meeting was out they indulged in the moanings and groanings of prayer. We came home.
