The roads next day were intolerable. The bishop said, “I enter my protest, as I have yearly for forty years, against this road.” In the evening we reached Connellsville, in Fayette County, one hundred and thirty-four miles from Chambersburgh. It was so called from Zachariah Connell, who laid it out seventy years ago. Mr. Asbury must have felt a little sad when he wrote, “O what a life is this! My aid is lame, and I am obliged to drive.” It will also be seen how the bishop employed his time, and how deeply he felt for the Germans, for he adds: “People call me by my name as they pass me on the road, and I hand them a religious tract in German or in English, or I call at a door for a glass of water, and leave a little pamphlet. How can I be useful? I am old and feeble and sick, and can do but little; and the poor Germans! they are as sheep without a shepherd.” On Saturday we reached Brownsville. This is where the old Redstone fort was. We then went to Pike Run camp-meeting, on Jacob Gruber’s district, in Washington County. This county was the hotbed of the famous “Whisky Rebellion.” There were one hundred tents and four or five hundred people encamped on the ground. Sunday was a high day. There were three thousand people in the grove. I opened the campaign in the morning by preaching from Acts x, 35 at eleven, and in the evening Bishop Asbury preached, and in the afternoon Jacob Gruber. In reference to this meeting Bishop Asbury says, “There were very wicked people there, I learned, who desperately libeled Brother M’Kendree and the preachers, and committed other abominable offenses. On Monday I was called upon to preach in the morning. I took occasion to give a solemn warning to certain sons of Belial that they would be watched, and their names published. I felt much, but God was in the word.” He was very pointed, and it had a good effect upon the sons of Belial. Friday, August 26, brought us to Pittsburgh. Bishop Asbury visited this town as early as July, 1789. The population in 1786 was only five hundred. It was a little settlement when Mr. Asbury first visited it, and when we were there in 1810 there were only five thousand inhabitants. On his first visit he wrote: “I preached in the evening to a serious audience. This is a day of very small things. What can we hope? yet what can we fear? I felt great love to the people, and hope God will arise to help and bless them.” He remained in Pittsburgh several days on that visit. He preached on Monday, and says the people were attentive; “but, alas! they are far from God, and too near the savages in situation and manners.” This must have been the introduction of Methodism in Pittsburgh.
