Ile imagined that Ie was itispired Nwith t(e Holy Ghost, and, as one of t he witnei'ses expressed it, was "boss'' or "leader'' inl spiritual matters. This 4amie wit ness, a brother of lthe deceased, says that towairds the end of the i meeting Ihat he (Rev. Durant) "went oil growing in the spirit till he surpassed the common judgment of us in tie nei-0h borhIood. Ile was goin- oil' in t(e iil oit, of nitural mind.'' While preacli-" lie would fall dowil in the pulpit and lie theru "in. a trance'' for some time.
