THE LITTLE DISSEMINATING in the
mountains Of North Carolina, he was brought
into the light of the gospel. and though perse-
cuted by his wife and all his connections. he
stood firm. After hard weeks work, he Of
ten went nine miles to church at all preaching
occasions within reach, he was present and
often the ringing Of his hammer mingled with
his cheerful notes Of praise. He persevered
in the service Of his divine Master, whoever
might oppose. BY and by his wife became
alarmed for her sins, and Joined him in the
service OF Christ. His brothers who were
wild, wicked young men, were brought into
the church one by one. His brothers in-lau
were induced by his example to forsake the
distiilery, and seek mercy from the bleeding
Saviour; and he has now a large company
around him of faithful servants of Christ
Though poor and laboring hard, he is respected
and loved, and seems to be one of the hapies
OF men. Who would not wish to initiate sucI
an example!
