Told at a Love Feast at the Glastonbury, CT Camp Meeting of 1844

"Father Burrows, a veteran local preacher, said he had been a Methodist more than fifty years, and adverted to the time when the New England Conference embracing almost all the country east of the Hudson, met in his own chamber in New London. It then comprised only twenty-eight preachers, less by a dozen than were present that morning, and probably more Methodists had gathered at this single love-feast than were some forty years ago in all New England. 'What hath been brought nigh: and those which were no people, have become a great and mighty.' Glory be to God!"  What God did once, God can do again.  Amen.
