Jersey and Kentucky, and the revivals
in Marylang and other parts of the
country increased greatly nenthusi-
asm and attendance.
Asbury's annual salary as bishop
was $64 year, with travelling ex-
penses, and he maintained a continual
struggle to keep himself supplied with
food and clothing enough to make 1t
possible for him to move about,
His most remarkable journey was
to Georgia across the rugged noun
tains of North Carolina in 1888, when
he was overtaken by tremendous rain
storms He was suffering part of the
way with raging fever, and at night
he lay down in his wet clothes in
whatever place of shelter he could
find, travelling in this way 10 miles
before he could stop to rest. He died
in Virginia, March 81, 1916, literally in
the harness, while iourneying to gen.
eral conference at Baltimore.
Asbury's name has been perpetuated
in the celebrated Asbury Park and in
various church structures, but his
fame among Methodists is enshrined
in the Methodist Episcopal hood con.

in the Methodist missions, which he

bishops, with 1000 preachers and

fatigable labors until he died at the
ripe age of II, He began preaching in

wore, or on the boards of deserted
cabins.
Frequently for days he rode on
horseback over rough roads, where he
and his companions were the sole
travellers, crossing rivers and rugged
mountains, and often reduced on ex-
tended journeys to half fare.
