Mrs. E. Price.

She always spoke about the Revival - she had taken part in the services. Also my aunt, her eldest daughter, was one of the young people of Moriah who supported Evan Roberts. As a child I remember asking my grandmother what was the Revival. She said it was when the Holy Spirit descended on Moriah. Many people from different parts of the world visited her home during the Revival and had warned her of the danger of the "well drying after so many had drunk of the water" and this seemed to cause her great concern. 

I can remember as a child accompanying my grandmother after prayer meetings in Moriah to take Miss Roberts, Evan Roberts' sister Sarah, part of the way home to Island House, as at that time she was quite elderly. 

My grandmother told us many tales of the Revival, one of which was when a party of young men had left the public house next door to Moriah. They could hear the singing and they ran over the fields to get away but were compelled to return by a power that they could not explain which seemed to draw them into the Chapel where they went forward and confessed their sins. They were converted after accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their Saviour. My aunt later went to the Church Army and died in the great flu epidemic in London after working with the army in the East end of London.

My father worked at Fairwood works, Gowerton as a "roller". He would walk home from work across the common and would call at the Kingsbridge Inn on his way. When he had had too much to drink my mother knew what to do, she just used to take him up to the bedroom and leave him there until he came down after having slept it off. 

My mother had gone to a service in Moriah and my father had gone to St. Helens to watch the rugby. He was uneasy there though and could not enjoy the game. He could not stay there any longer and felt "compelled" to leave the game and to go back to Moriah to the meeting - where he was saved. 

Our home life completely changed. We then used to have meetings in the front room. I can also remember having meetings at the cross-roads at Kingsbridge in the open air.

My mother, who was seven, remembered being taken by her mother to the Revival meetings and being put to stand on the pew during the hymn singing. She said that she didn't know the words, but added her own words to the tune. 

One cannot be in the presence of the Holy Spirit without an awakening of the soul and a lifelong commitment to the Lord, at any age. 

My mother took me, as a baby, to the Monday evening Prayer Meetings, where I would hear the men, whose lives had been changed by the Holy Spirit, giving thanks to God for remembering the "dust of the earth" as they would see themselves. 

I saw these grown men on their knees before God crying and as a child I could not understand why. Then someone would start singing a hymn when those praying were unable to continue. 

This was during the mid thirties into late forties. 

We still hold a Prayer Meeting on a Monday, in the same place that Evan Roberts prayed with his companions on the 31st October 1904, when the Holy Spirit came in such power that not only Loughor was caught in the Fire but the world was affected. 

This is a holy place and many prayers have been accepted as a "sweet smelling incense". We give thanks to the Lord for mediating on our behalf and for the prayers that have been answered. 

We also give thanks to the many overseas visitors who keep us in their prayers and we ask for your continued support so that we can continue to witness and keep the doors open for others to visit in the years to come. 

We await another outpouring of the Holy Spirit. 

"The Grace of the Lord Jesus be with God's people." Amen.
