Church Under The
EnUeS

Because young John Collins needed
salt for brine in which to put away
his bears meat for winter eating, the
first Methodist church was organized
"some time in the l790s"-said to
have been the first Methodist Society
formed in the Northwest Territory
Young Collins was farmer who
had moved from New Jersey to lit
tie acreage on East Fork of the Little
Miami River, now in Clermont
County, back in 1890, Stores then
were scarce and salt was scarcer-sO
Collins walked all the way to Carriers
little general store, on Front Street,
Cincinnati, to buy his supply.
Back in New Jersey he had been an
exhorter and had been ordained, he
related, as a Methodist preacher but
had done little preaching. Talking
with Carter he found that the mer-
chant too, was a Methodist-one of
the very few in the town.
Both men warmed up and that
evening the first Methodist Church
services in the town were held in the
loft over Carter's store. The Cart
er's and about dozen other persons
formed the congregation and Collins
preached-his text from Mark XVI
16-"And He said unto them Go
We into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature"
Shortly afterwards Rev. John Sale,
from the Scioto Circuit, preached in a
log cabin on Main Street, between
Front and Second streets, to a con-
gregation of 35 persons. There he
organized the first Society of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in Gin.

Society was starting off with fairl!

Collins lived too far out in. tn,
woods to get there.
With their meetings still held il

preaching every two weeks by tn

moved into the town, the Hall an,
