of each other.' He Travelled about 5000
miles ia year preached about three times

and his published works amounted to about
200 volumes. Asbury Travelled 5000 miles a

might be said of Calyan. While in Strasburg,
he preached or lectured every day. In a let

that on one day he had revised twenty sheets
of one of his works, lectured, preached, writ
ten four letters, reooueiled several parties who
