The Shearer Schoolhouse Revival

“At this time I was a member of the Baptist church and none of us believed in sanctification although I attended this revival. I noticed how those who claimed sanctification would go to their fellowmen and fix everything right, making their confession to one another…. I began seeking God definitely for an experience I had never attained to. The spirit within me would cry out, “Give me the blessing like those other few have received.” …When I got all on the altar, one Thursday morning about 9:00 o’clock, I was sanctified while sitting in my saddle on my horse. In that same year many of us received the Holy Ghost.”
