The log college by Archibald Alexander (Available from Amazon or free here) - Read Chapter 19 (Memoir of the Rev. Charles Beatty), Appendix I (Mr William Tennent's letter) and Appendix II (The Rev. William Tennent's letter).
Chapter 19 is a quick overview of one final graduate of the log college, Charles Beatty. We read about his:
(i) birth and move to America;
(ii) training;
(iii) ministry, including work with Indians.
Appendix I is the full text of William Tennent's letter about the revival that happened at the college.
And then Appendix II is the full text of William Tennent's letter about the revival that happened at his church under the ministry of both John Tennent and himself.
Interesting way to describe your church: '...the public means of grace dispensed here were at first, for a season, too much like a miscarrying womb and dry breasts, so that the major part of the congregation could not be said to have so much as a name to live.'
No conversions and no growth amongst the converted. But then God sent his marvelous revival!
May he continue to do so to such churches.
