SWOONING AND REVIVING<br />

CHRIST’S FEET<br />

AN ADDRESS DELIVERED AT THE CLOSE OF<br />

ONE OF THE PASTORS’ COLLEGE CONFERENCES<br />

“And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And <strong>He</strong><br />

laid His right hand upon me saying unto me, Fear not; I am<br />

the first and the last: I am <strong>He</strong> that liveth, and was dead; and,<br />

His right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first<br />

and the last: I am <strong>He</strong> that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I<br />

am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of<br />
