[ 9 ]

seeing such a light, being much alarmed, I rose up out of my bed and fell upon my knees and made a covenant with my God if he would only give me grace I would go through by much weakness and preach the gospel and call sinners, and from that time to this day I have felt good times and seen good times, and I do expect to see greater yet, and would say unto all that is called to preach go and preach the gospel, by doing this you may save yourself and many I hope that may hear thee.

I remain dearly beloved, your affectionate servant in Christ.

N. COLWELL CANNON.
Minister of the Gospel.
