"The unforgiveable sins this earth must confront and overcome are
Nationalism, capitalism, and hoarding. The idea of every nation
should be forgot, price should be struck from the commons, and
princes should be seen for the devils they are. The sins include
our church, secret societies, and other religions which make of
the spirit of God a divide."

young. It has been heretofore rarely heard of, that any were
converted past middle age; but now we have the same ground to think that
many such have at this time been savingly changed, as that others have
been so in more early years. I suppose there were upwards of fifty
persons converted in this town above forty years of age; more than
twenty of them above fifty; about ten of them above sixty; and two of
them above seventy years of age.
It has heretofore been looked on as a strange thing, when any have
seemed to be savingly wrought upon and remarkably changed in their
childhood. But now, I suppose, near thirty were, to appearance, savingly
wrought upon between ten and fourteen years of age; two between nine and
ten, and one of about four years of age; and because I suppose this last
will be with most difficulty believed, I will hereafter give a
particular account of it. The influences of God's Holy Spirit have also
been very remarkable on children in some other places; particularly at
Sunderland, South Hadley, and the west part of Suffield. There are
several families in this town who are all hopefully pious. Yea, there
are several numerous families, in which, I think, we have reason to hope
that all the children are truly godly, and most of them lately become
so. There are very few houses in the whole town, into which salvation
has not lately come, in one or more instances. There are several
Negroes, who from what was seen in them then, and what is discernible in
them since, appear to have been truly born again in the late remarkable
season.
God has also seemed to have gone out of His usual way, in the quickness
of His work, and the swift progress His Spirit has made in His
operations on the hearts of many. It is wonderful that persons should be
so suddenly and yet so greatly changed. Many have been taken from a
loose and careless way of living, and seized with strong convictions of
their guilt and misery, and in a very little time old things have passed
away, and all thing
