When etcr waj mue years old Jacob Lurton, a traTcling preacher; held relicious services in hi fathers cabin. This-.Lurton he styles a "real eon of thunder. lie preached with tremendous power, and the. congregation were almoaC melted to tears.

Murderers, horse-thieves, highway rob- bers, and counterfeiters actually formed a ma ' jority of the inhabitants, and were able to set lav at defiance. The honest people, nudcr the name of Regulators, combined together and formed a . vigilance committee for the execution of the It was in such a desperate state of society that Peter Cartwright's boyhood was passed. JI r was naturally," he says, 'a wild, wicked boy, and , 1 delighted iu horse-racing, card-playing and dane . ing, ; My father restrained me but little, though my mother often talked to me, wept over tne, i and prayed for me, and often drew tears front my eyes; and thougtri often wcjpt under preach ing, and resolved to do better and seek religion yet I broke my vows, went into young company, , rode races, played cards, and danced." Gambling became his besetting sin. ' j At length, about the beginning of the. present century, Logan county', became more civilised.. Murderers and horse-thieves disappeared, " and preaching became more frequent. About this time the Cane Ridge camp-meeting was held a meeting protracted for weeks, and attended by from 12,000; to 25,000 people. Preachers of all , . denomiuatious were present, and between one and two thousand souls were converted. Thia was the first camp-iueeting ever held in the Unitd Statesi It was about thia time (1801) that Peter was converted, and joined the Method ist Episcopal Church. ' The following incident illustrates the ignor ance with which the early Methodist preacher in the .West had to contend.' The Rey. Wilson Lee, preaching in Peter CartwrightV neighbor, hood took for his text, ''Except a man deny himself, and take up his cross, he cannot be my discjple." He urged on his congregation with melting yoice and tearful eyes, to take up the cross no matter what it was, take it up. He made a very profound impression upon a very wicked Dutchman in his congregation, whose wifelwas a notorious scold. After dismissing the meeting, Mr Leo mounted his horse and rode away. After riding some distance, he saw, a little ahead of him, a man trudging along carry ing a woman on bis baek- This greatly surprised MrLcc.v He very naturally supposed that the' woman was a cripple, or had hurt hereaelf ia t some way, so that she could not walk.
