Chas. G. Finney, the American Revivalist

Excerpt from Chas. G. Finney, the American Revivalist
We think we have today advantages which Mr. Finney did not possess, and which lay us all under Obligation to expect and to attain results far beyond even the wondrous ones which he describes. Instead of having to labour in the face of constant Opposition from ministers and members of the churches in which he preached, we have before us a clear ground and nothing to prevent our doing anything we may Wish to bring sinners to the Cross.
Bear this in mind as you read the book, and then, if it does not make you ashamed of the little good you have as yet done, you must be dead indeed. But if you do feel ashamed, do not let your shame lead to fear or despair, but rather to self-examination, to thorough going surrender, to faithful prayer, and so to the boundless victory Which God is just as Wishful to give to you as to anyone else.
