On Tuesday, the 9th, we came to Shippensburgh. Here Brother Lee and I bade each other farewell. The refreshing seasons we had together I have not forgotten, and his image for over half a century has been before me. I had heard him preach in Philadelphia, in 1797, at St. George’s, when he was stationed there. He was a tall, slender man, had a musical voice, and his delivery was very agreeable. He was one of the great men of Methodism, and a great favorite of Mr. Asbury. Bishop Asbury saw him but once after this, and that was on the 27th of April, 1804, on his return from the south. He says: “We came to Georgetown, and I visited Wilson Lee, ill with a bleeding of the lungs.” Mr. Lee lingered till autumn, and on the 4th of October he died at Walter Worthington’s, in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, in the forty-third year of his age. CHAPTER XI. DAUPHIN CIRCUIT, 1803-4. This circuit was very large, and the people were mostly Germans. We had thirty appointments, and at twenty of them we preached in German. Under the first sermon I preached in German one was converted. After a time it was as easy to preach in the one language as the other. Jacob Gruber was my colleague, and we both preached in our vernacular. We held union, or what were called “friendly meetings,” where the Methodists and the “United Brethren in Christ” met in harmony, and the ministers took turns in preaching. These were meetings of great interest to the Methodists. It gave them access to many they could not otherwise have reached. We held one of these meetings in Columbia in August. Multitudes were present. James Thomas preached the first sermon;[8] then my father preached in German from Gal. vi, 15, 16; then I preached in English from Isa. liv, 13. Thus we had three sermons in the forenoon without any intermission. In the afternoon three of the United Brethren held forth: Smith, Hershy, and Shaefer.
