The Morning Watch, of Quarterly Journal of Prophecy, and Theological Review, nos. 8. and 9. (art. by Edward Irving) 1830, 1831. -- `The reasonings and the conclusions are just what might be expected from writers who seem to consider that a course of lectures on prophecy is the best preparatory study for young diplomatists; and that the only infallible guide in doubtful cases of external and internal policy, is to be found in the numerals of Daniel and the visions of the Apocalypse.' (264) -- The scene described by John Bate Cardale, visiting Port-Glasgow, of 'One of the ladies, who was only able to whisper from cold, both before and after the inspiration came on, nevertheless, one day, spoke in a loud voice for four hours continuously without the slightest exhaustion - corresponds neither in evidence nor in object with the miracle which Christian writers have formerly understood under the title of the gift of tongues.' (276) -- 'Unfortunately some undefinable and mysterious quality in human nature has so often taken civilized society by surprise, and has broken out into such sudden fermentation or explosion, that the friends of reason and religion must be excused for being perhaps easily alarmed. Fanaticism has its epidemics! - an intolerable mischief in turninng God's service from the heart. .to the. useless forms of a fantastic and hypochondriacal religion.'
