An excerpt from "Laidlaw College.ac" entitled, "Rev. Joseph W. Kemp" states: "In 1902 he was called to pastor Charlotte Chapel in Edinburgh, where a congregation of 35 welcomed him. An opportunity to witness the Welsh Revival saw him return to his own church with a longing to see a similar movement of the Spirit. He shared his burden with some church members at a prayer meeting, and from that moment the floodgates opened – night after night, the prayer meetings increased in intensity. By the end of that year, 1,000 people had been converted. During these years he also began a weekly Bible Correspondence course – so great was the volume of papers returned for marking that the Edinburgh Post Office often had to despatch a postal van to carry the load."
