WILLIAM THOMAS was a good minister of Jesus; I heard him on the witness of the spirit. Our fathers were great in preaching experimental Christianity, especially the knowledge of sins forgiven. JOHN JARRELL I heard in 1793. He was lively and energetic. His discourse was against Winchester’s doctrine of Universal Restoration. “See the wicked,” said he, “coming up from the furnace of fire. What will they sing in heaven? ‘Unto Him who hath loved us and washed us from our sins in his own blood be glory for ever?’ No. They cannot sing any such song; but ‘Unto hell fire that hath purified us and made us meet for heaven, be glory for evermore.’ This is the only song they can sing. Will any such song be heard in heaven?” Thus he used irony in exposing and refuting error. Mr. Jarrell was a fine-looking man, with a splendid voice, which he knew how to use to purpose. He was very popular and successful. He entered the traveling connection in 1786, and, after having traveled ten years, died in Wilmington, Delaware. VALENTINE COOK was over six feet high, with dark complexion, long arms, very black hair, coarse and bushy, and dark piercing eyes. He had a fine cultivated intellect and a powerful voice. He was an extraordinary preacher, and I listened to him with great delight. In after years I heard of his fame when traveling with Bishop Asbury in the West. JOSEPH EVERETT was a soldier of the Revolution, and a standard-bearer in the ranks of Methodism. He preached in Boehm’s neighborhood in 1793. He abhorred slavery, and preached against it with all his might, denouncing it in no measured terms. Sometimes he would refuse to eat with slaveholders till they had freed their slaves. I spent weeks with him at Dr. White’s in Cambridge after he had retired from the regular work, and could only ask, “How goes the battle?” Mr. Everett was six feet high, well proportioned, of a commanding appearance, very agreeable in conversation, and full of anecdotes and reminiscences of olden times. SIMON MILLER was a native of Lancaster County. He possessed much of this world’s goods, but he was ready to make any sacrifice to preach the Gospel. He was a man of deep piety and remarkable gifts. He was the spiritual father of Jacob Gruber. I recollect with gratitude the efforts he made for my salvation, how earnestly he labored, what sympathy he manifested. He was a German, and preached in his vernacular. He received him into society in 1792, when he was but a school-boy. His ministerial career was brief but brilliant; his end triumphant. He joined the traveling connection in 1791, and died, deeply lamented, in 1795. He left no children. Thomas Ware married his widow.
