While a pastor, several very interesting revivals of religion were experienced in your church and congregation, a good number were hopefully converted, some entered the ministry whose labors have been blessed, and some now occupy places of commanding influence.

To those who make the above inquiry this volume is most affectionately dedicated by the author
