there was a period of religious awakening in Scotland from 1859 to 1863 following the New York prayer meetings started by Jeremiah Lamphier. In these years, revivals were sparked in certain towns by the public prayers of teenagers, countless prayer meetings were started and maintained for children by other children, entire classrooms and Sabbath schools turned to the Lord under forceful conviction, and children led their parents to the Lord. There are accounts of young boys leading family worship where the father was unwilling, and of girls enduring beatings at home in order to attend prayer meetings or revival services.
the experience of Furz was probably no worse than that of John Nelson, who coolly says, "But when I was in the middle of my discourse, one at the outside of the congregation threw a stone, which cut me on the head: however, that made the people give greater attention, especially when they saw the blood run down my face; so that all was quiet till I had done, and was singing a hymn."Lectures to my Students
In 1791 fifteen hundred English Catholics signed a statement denying that papal infallibility was a dogma of the Roman Catholic Church. However, the opposition of the Gallicans was gradually overcome, and in 1870 the Vatican Council declared that 'the Roman Pontiff... enjoys fully that infallibility which the divine Redeemer wished his Church to have in defining doctrine touching faith and morals... consequently such definitions of the Roman Pontiff are of themselves unchangeable and are not to be changed through the approval of the Church.'
