On Friday we went to the Bethel, where Lorenzo Dow had an appointment. He took no text, but discoursed on “The Character of a Gentleman.” He gave the deists no quarters. Then he spoke clearly and feelingly upon justification by faith and sanctification. We then accompanied him to the “Union Meeting-House,” on Duck Creek Circuit, where he preached from “Watchman, what of the night,” etc. His theme was the signs of the times. It was a time of great power; there were a thousand people present. Dow had traveled all night, and until ten o’clock the next morning, before he reached Bethel. As soon as he had finished his sermon he jumped out of the window, back of the pulpit, and mounting his horse rode seventeen miles to “Union;” then to Duck Creek Cross Roads, where he preached from “Many are called, but few are chosen.” His powers of endurance must have been great, for he rode eighty miles and had five meetings without sleep. Dow was then an Evangelist. He was irregular, eccentric, and yet powerful. He had acquired the title of “Crazy Dow.” The preachers were divided in opinion concerning him. Some gave out his appointments, and others would not. John M’Claskey absolutely refused; he said, “I give out no appointments for him, for I have nothing to do with Lorenzo Dow.” I heard him preach several years after in Camden, N. J., and came to the conclusion that the Lorenzo Dow I heard then was not the Lorenzo Dow I heard in 1805. He was like the sun under an eclipse, or like Samson after he lost the locks of his strength. Previous to the session of the Philadelphia Conference in 1806, Bishops Asbury and Whatcoat made a short tour through the Peninsula. I had the privilege of accompanying them, and heard them preach. The fifth of April we met them at Snow Hill, which was on my circuit. I felt a thrill of delight in seeing them again. They went a journey of five hundred and fifty miles to visit the Churches and preach after they left Baltimore. Bishop Asbury preached at Snow Hill, from Heb. iii, 12, 13: the caution “not to depart from the living God,” and the duty to “exhort one another daily.” Notwithstanding the rain fell in torrents, crowds came to listen. Thence we went to Broadkilltown, Delaware, where the bishop preached on Christian steadfastness, from 1 Cor. xv, 6-8; then to Milford, where he held forth on the form and power of godliness: 2 Tim. iii, 5.
