Bishops Asbury and Whatcoat visited my circuit on the 18th of July. Bishop Whatcoat preached in Bristol, and Bishop Asbury in Burlington; after which I rode with the bishops to Philadelphia, in company with Thomas F. Sargent and Oliver Beale. Bishop Asbury said he wished me to travel with him, so I left all, for in that day the bishop said “go, and he goeth; come, and he cometh.” I heard the bishop, George Roberts, and T. F. Sargent preach before I left Philadelphia. The bishops moved on in advance of me, and I overtook them at Soudersburg. Here Bishop Asbury preached from Psalm li, 9-12, on “a clean heart and a right spirit.” Bishop Whatcoat exhorted after him. Bishop Whatcoat had designed to go the western route, but he became so feeble that Asbury was obliged to proceed without him. We went first to Columbia, then to Little York, then to Hollow Pence’s, a little distance from York. The bishop preached in every place. At Brother Pence’s, Brother Wilson Lee met us. After the bishop’s sermon he exhorted with great effect, and there was a shaking among the dry bones. From thence we had his company for some days. He was the presiding elder, and when the bishop entered a district the elder generally accompanied him. Next we went to Carlisle, to quarterly meeting. On Saturday Bishop Asbury preached at eleven, from Col. iii, 12, 13; at night Wilson Lee, from Joshua iii, 5, “Sanctify yourselves, for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders among you.” This was indeed a preparation sermon for the wonders of the morrow. On Sunday morning we had a prayer-meeting at sunrise. It was a joyful season. At eight o’clock James Smith preached from Acts xiii, 26; at eleven, Bishop Asbury preached with life and power from 2 Cor. iv, 2, “But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty,” etc. At four, Wilson Lee preached from 2 Cor. x, 3-9, on the weapons of our warfare. Brother Fidler preached in the evening. We had four sermons, besides a prayer-meeting at sunrise. That was a great day in Carlisle; crowds attended to hear the word. The next day we went to David Snyder’s, where the bishop preached from 2 Tim. iv, 7, 8, “I have fought a good fight.” Wilson Lee exhorted. I wrote, “Glory to God, this was a comfortable season.” In the afternoon we went to Shippensburgh, where the bishop preached in the evening from 1 Peter iii, 15, 16, on the “reason of the hope” within you. I wrote thus: “It is remarkable to see what labors our father in the Gospel undergoes. I think there is not a traveling preacher in the connection that goes through more fatigue. His extreme toil and labor eclipses the most zealous among us.” On Wednesday Brother Lee left us, and I went on with the bishop over the mountains and rocks till we reached Bedford County, Pennsylvania. We then went over the Dry Ridge and the Alleghany Hills singing the praises of the Most High. We stopped in Berlin, Somerset County, on the top of the mountains. I preached in German, and the bishop exhorted.
