up to a perfect frenzy ofexcitetent,. 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

and Richard Clampbell sened more af

others, anl would also fall down during
the exercises iunl sometimes lie as they
had fiillen for two or three hours. Durant
called 1hei his disciples. Jones let his
