Excerpt from A Brief Review of the Episcopal Church in Virginia, From Its First Establishment to the Present Time: Being Part of an Address of the Right Rev. William Meade, D.D. Bishop of Virginia, to the Convention of the Church, in Fredericksburg, May 22nd, 1845 To provoke each other and their congregations to zeal in all good works, and especially to awaken the careless to a sense of their lost condition, the Ministers would meet together occasionally, and for several successive days, make full trial of prayer and God's word, expecting the blessing promised to two or three who come together and ask somewhat of God.
