In the struggle of the kingdom of God with the powers of darkness I introduced an all-night prayer meeting at my residence. Besides members of my own church I invited Deacon Chamberlain of the Congregational church, and Brother Stanton, a Methodist. We had a room full, and held on all night in prayer and supplication for the triumphs of Christ in saving souls in Norwich. It was a remarkable meeting. A revival had commenced, and it continued through the whole summer. I saw and felt the influence of the all-night meeting. After this, all-night meetings became quite common. When all other means seemed to fail, churches resorted to crying to God day and night.
