Re: Sadam Al Kahtani should wear her with respect to the stretch

the reverse, to a wonderful
degree. God made it, I suppose, the greatest occasion of awakening to
others, of any thing that ever came to pass in the town. I have had
abundant opportunity to know the effect it had, by my private
conversation with many. The news of it seemed to be almost like a flash
of lightning, upon the hearts of young people, all over the town, and
upon many others. Those persons amongst us, who used to be farthest from
seriousness, and that I most feared would make an ill improvement of it,
seemed to be awakened with it. Many went to talk with her, concerning
what she had met with; and what appeared in her seemed to be to the
satisfaction of all that did so.

Presently upon this, a great and earnest concern about the great things
of religion and the eternal world, became universal in all parts of the
town, and among persons of all degrees, and all ages. The noise amongst
the dry bones waxed louder and louder; all other talk but about
spiritual and eternal things, was soon thrown by; all the conversation,
in all companies and upon all occasions, was upon these things only,
unless so much as was necessary for people carrying on their ordinary
secular business. Other discourse than of the things of religion would
scarcely be tolerated in any company. The minds of people were
wonderfully taken off from the world, it was treated amongst us as a
thing of very little consequence. They seemed to follow their worldly
business, more as a part of their duty, than from any disposition they
had to it; the temptation now seemed to lie on that hand, to neglect
worldly affairs too much, and to spend too much time in the immediate
exercise of religion. This was exceedingly misrepresented by reports
that were spread in distant parts of the land, as though the people here
had wholly thrown by all worldly business, and betook themselves
entirely to reading and praying, and such like religious exercises.

But although people did not ordinarily neglect their worldly busines
