Rev. Franklin Hall
In 1946 a group of saints came together in San Diego, from various denominations, to hear the teaching of Jesus Christ’s Gospel concerning prayer and fasting. Many of these Christians entered into consecration fasts. A real test was made as to the efficacy of fasting. Some of these fasts were from twenty-one to more than sixty days in continuous duration, without food. They were burdened to see the Lord move in a special spiritual way. These and many others wanted to see a world-wide revival for the salvation and healing of mankind and the restoration of the gifts of the Spirit.

"The group of Christians known as the Moravians is relatively small in numbers when compared to larger denominations. However, they have had a tremendous impact on modern Christianity well beyond their actual size. They were a persecuted people for many years but their history reached a dramatic turning point at a revival in 1727 in the community of Herrnhut, under the direction of Nicholas Ludwig von Zinzendorf. An explosion of prayer and piety birthed a launch into foreign missions way ahead of its time. Innovations and ideas from the Moravians and their missions effort had profound impacts on future Protestentism especially through the lives of William Carey and John Wesley."

"THE INSTITUTION OF THE ORDER OF NAZARITES.
The first twenty-one verses of Numb. vi. give us an account of the institution and ordinances of the order of Nazarites. And let us note at the outset that this institution, like every other good and perfect gift, came from above; that God Himself gave this privilege—unasked—to His people; thereby showing His desire that "whosoever will" of His people may be brought into closest relationship to Himself. It was very gracious of God to permit[Pg 12] His people to become Nazarites. Israel might have been 'a kingdom of priests;' but through their own sin they had nationally forfeited this privilege, and a special family had been set apart to the priesthood. God, however, still opened the way for individuals who wished to draw near to Him to do so, and for any period which their own hearts might dictate."

"This little book, whose design is to lead the devout Bible student into the Green Pastures of the Good Shepherd, thence to the Banqueting House of the King, and thence to the service of the Vineyard, is one of the abiding legacies of Mr. Hudson Taylor to the Church. In the power of an evident unction from the Holy One, he has been enabled herein to unfold in simplest language the deep truth of the believer’s personal union with the Lord, which under symbol and imagery is the subject of The Song of Songs. And in so doing, he has ministered an unfailing guidance to one of the most commonly neglected and misunderstood of the Sacred Scriptures. For how many have said in bewilderment at the richness of language and profusion of figure which both conceal and reveal its meaning, “How can I understand except some man should guide me?” It is safe to say that these pages cannot fail to help and bless all such."
John Wesley
"What I purpose in the following papers is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during a course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind, those who desire to know all 'the truth as it is in Jesus.' And these only are concerned in questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavouring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so."
