1.4 Factors That Gave Rise to the Modern Pentecostal Movement

I love the fact that he said that because it is so important that we praise and proclaim Jesus not just simply his gifts.

I do agree with what Seymour said, because we can forget about the giver and be lost with the evidence His gift. Once the focus remains the Giver not the gift.

Jesus is the central focus of everything, not tongues, not anything else… when people have a true encounter with Jesus, lives were changed, the manifestation of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is seen, and tongues and other things are just byproducts of being indwelt by the Spirit of Christ. So, yes, I agree with Mr. Seymour when he said, "Don't tell people about tongues, tell them about Jesus."

The emphasis upon Jesus is paramount for Biblical Pentecostalism. The newspaper in that day reported a babel of tongues and did not declare focus upon the saving name of Jesus. Seymour wanted to correct this misrepresentation of unbelievers and focus attention to believers what was imperative.
