what would have happened to tho
United States and Methodism If he hao
done so. He thought that Cartwright
might later have become President in
stead of Lincoln, and monuments
would now likely be reared to Cart.
wright instead of Lincoln. He though,
that the loss TO Methodism in such an
event would have been great.

casion an infidol ferryman had at
tempted to drown Peter Cartwright by
throwing him overheard from his boat
The backwoods minister was too quick
however. and threw the ferryman into
the water. He then caught hold OF
