Scotland than on any other day; and, 3rdly, That the day of humiliation
was a close resemblance to a Scotch Sunday;--we may draw the inference
that the "humiliation" must have been complete. We have no doubt the
number of those that were either moved by the spirit, or kept from the
power of moving by the spirit, must have been enormous, on the occasion
alluded to.
