for much of Canada, hopes of a great Christian dominion developing across the North through the spread of the gospel were nurtured, as revealed by the founding text of the Canadian Dominion (Psalm 72:8). On Parliament Hill in Ottawa, the Parliament Buildings remain testament to this Christian vision, most notably, the Peace Tower and the Memorial Chamber, where Scripture is engraved everywhere, inside and out.Mission of God, 87
In mid-nineteenth century Protestant Ontario, millenarianism raised its head again in the form of the exported Irvingite movement (named after the English millenial preacher Edward Irving) and in the even more disruptive Millerites -followers of the converted American deist William Miller (by this point a Baptist), whose detailed calculations from biblical prophecy had him predicting the end of the world in the years 1843 or 1844, followed by a literal millennial (that is, thousand-year) reign. This eventually led to the founding of the Seventh Day Adventist church. This was quickly followed in the 1860s by the dispensationalist millennial crusade of J.N. Darby and C.I. Schofield, a movement emerging from the Plymouth Brethren in EnglandMission of God, 85

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.
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.'
