F.F. Bosworth was apparently pleased to learn about people fainting and falling in the revival meetings of Evangelist Billy Sunday. The 'falling’ phenomenon was common among Pentecostals. A newspaper reported: “In the men’s meeting, hearers dropped from their seats as the evangelist pictured graphically ‘The Wages of Sin.’ Twenty-one of the men who heard it fell from their seats unconscious. Men fell here and there in all parts of the big building.” This blog post offers an analysis of Bosworth’s comments about Sunday’s revival meetings. It also takes a look at the possible causes of the “falling” phenomenon. #ChristTheHealer
