FROM ASBURY’S JOURNAL
The loveliest statue in the city of
Washington is the likeness of as hum
ble servant of Christ as ever jour
neyed on a hard task in a forbidding
sociaj climate. It was lately un
veiled, and is an equestrian image.
Such were formerly the rawards of
generals and emperors. There is
one of General Andrew Jackson vis
a-vis to the White House, which
Thackeray once smiled at as a rock
ing-horse. But the image of Asbury
and his faithful carrier is a delight
to the eye, an inspiration to the
heart, a worthy memorial to one
whose tit'e might well be “St. Paul
of the back woods.”
Because of our denominational
cleavages one can well believe that
most of those who pass the Asbury
Memorial Church in this or that city
would be put to it to explain just
who Asbury was. Let all such read
his Journal. It is one of the great
documents of American religious his
tory. It translates into the geogra
phy of Kentucky and the Carolinas
the incidents of the Book of Acts.
It opens with the motive which was
dominant in his whole useful life.
“Whither am I going? To the
new world. What to do? To gain
honor? Not if 1 know my heart. To
get money? No, I am going to live
to God and to bring others so to do.”
The young Englishman who began
his emigrant journal in this fashion
did not wait to land before starting
in on his program. Nor was he now
any more than later deterred by dis
comfort. “Though it was very windy
I fixed my back against the mizzen
mast and preached freely on those
well-known words, ‘Now then we are
ambassadors for Christ.’ 1 felt the
pov/c r of truth on my soul, but still
alas! saw no visible fruit. The ship’s
company were insensible creatures.”
Few men in Christian history have
passed as uncomfortable a life from
the point of view of eating and sleep
ing and facing bad weather as this
chiefest of the Methodist frontier
apostolate. The Journal abounds in
such passages as these,
“Near midnight •we stopped at
A’s, who hissed his dogs on us. Our
supper was tea. I lay along the
floor with the fleas on a few deer
skins. That night our poor horses
got no corn, and the next morning
they had to swim across the Monon
gahela.”
"In the mountains of the South.
Rough and difficult to climb. Heavy
rain and lightning. Crept for shel
ter into a little dirty house where
the filth might have been taken from
the floor with a spade. Night came
on. 1 was ready to faint with a vio
lent headache. The mountain was
steep on both sides. I prayed to the
Lord for help. Presently a profuse
sweat broke out upon me and my
fever entirely subsided. This has
been an awful journey.”
He tells us that his little horse was
stiff. No wonder! He had ridden
him five thousand miles yearly for
five years in succession. Remember
that when you watch the gentle crea
ture on which the statuesque Asbury
is seated in Washington In the
course of the day the little animal is
near to giving out. He had again
swam rivers, and Asbury was steeped
in water to the waist. He finds shel
ter in a Kentucky cabin ten feet by
twelve. Six adults and many dogs
were already in occupancy. Here
he took an uncomfortable skin dis
ease and remarks that considering
the filthiness of frontier beds it was
strange that he had not caught it
twenty times. Naught but a brim
stone shirt were sufficient protection!
The frequent physical discomforts
were too often matched by the chur
lishness and barbarism of many pio
neers. Social conditions were evil.
They distil corn and rye into poison
ous whisky, spite of the narrow mar
gin of food prevailing. Vile whisky
he thinks of as the prime curse of
the United States. Persecutions had
to be faced, too. and he speaks of
himself as dwelling among briers and
scorpions. To escape his enemies
and the enemies of the Gospel he lay
in a swamp till about sunset on one
occasion, remarking that his soul was
kept in peace by reading the Greek
Testament. His followers also had
to put up with much unkindness. A
Dr. Hinds, for example, a surgeon
under General Wolfe at Quebec, an
infidel, though later converted, when
his wife was awakened under Metho
dist preaching, blistered her head to
cure her of the madness.
But all this was but the external
side of life. The inner experiences
find constant expression in such en
tries as this: “Dec. 21.—The Lord
keeps me from peace. Jan. I.—The
Lord was pleased to b’.ess my soul
with that peace which passes all un
derstanding. My practise is to keep
close to God in prayer and spend a
part of every hour when awake in
that exercise. 1 purposed in my i
own mind to spend ten minutes out
of every hour, when awake, in the
duty of prayer.” i
It was, as at most periods, a time

of both religious awakening and re
ligious torpor. With the revival of
1787 broke out it was common to
hear of souls being brought to God
while at work, in their houses, or in
their corn fields. White or black,
sometimes both together, would be
gin to sing and pray. Others would
join them and continue till they
found peace of soul. Yet the Lao
dicean temper prevailed in many
parts. In Newport a great meeting
house with a steeple and box pews
was built with lottery money. Con
gregationalists and Episcopalians, he
notes, compete in height of steeples,
but not in number of conversions.
Some slave-owners would *not let him
preach to their slaves. “Perhaps we
shall soon be thought unfit for the
company of their dogs!” When one
Negro woman was converted by As
bury’s preaching her master gave her
her freedom. She had become too
religious for the comfort of his con
science.
One would not give an impression
of querulousness to Asbury’s Journal.
There was much devoted Christian
service and sympathy to cheer the in
domitable circuit-rider. He says of
his aged converts, “There is great
mortality among them, but by all ac
counts they die in the Lord, and in
general triumphantly.”
Asbury’s contacts were almost ex-
clusively with the unprivileged and
undistinguished, but now and then
men of contemporary note appear in
his pages. Thus Dr. Benjamin Rush,
the eminent Philadelphia physician
and singer of the Declaration of In
dependence, gave him medical help.
As they separated Asbury inquired
what he should pay for his advice.
‘‘Nothing but an interest in your
prayers,” came the reply. “Then.”
said Asbury, “as I do not like to be
in debt we will pray now,” and he
knelt, offering prayer that God would
bless and reward him for his kind
ness.
The tireless evangelist traveled to
the end. His last sermon was
preached in a Richmond church
whither he was carried on a table.
Four days later he was dead. His
will left $2,000 to the Methodist
Book Concern for the aid of indigent
preachers. This represented legacies
that had been given him in his life
time; his salary of eighty dollars a
year hardly admitted of saving.—

7,400 New Telephones Added
ORE than 7,400 new telephones were added to the
jjijl Bell Telephone System in Georgia last year, a
record-breaking achievement requiring the best
efforts of a highly trained organization and the invest
ment of more than $2,230,000 in new money.
There are now 112,127 Bell telephones in Georgia, a
striking evidence of the substantial growth and progress
of the State.
To care for this continued growth means that exten
sions and additions to the telephone system must be
planned in advance to provide for present needs and to
anticipate the needs of the future.
The large sums of new money required for the pur
pose must be obtained by the sale of securities or be bor
rowed in the money markets.
The enormous investment in new plant last year was
used not only to extend the service in local communities,
but much of it was utilized to improve and expand the
long distance service throughout the State.
Asa result the general telephone service is good and
dependable, while the scope of the long distance service is
practically unlimited.
The telephone workers are proud of their achieve
ments last year. They are serving you cheerfully and
appreciate your cordial interest.
