Peter Cartwright, the pio- -neer Methodist preacher, died at him scute, neat Pleasant Plains, Sanga Dien County, TIL, Sept. 18, at the of 87 years. He Was the oldest hrdeaued member of the Methodist Church in. the United States, having been in its ministry over 60 years. ° Bis principal field <4of labor was she Western country, where he was widely known for his untiring zeal,. homely eloquence, and occasional ,ntricities. The story: of hie life, Which is best told in las autobiog- raphy, possesses special interest from lie impress of his own individuality which -every page of it bears. Re garding his parentage, he wrote : "I was born Sept. 1, 1785 in Amherst County, on James River, in the State of Virginia. My parents were poor. My father was a soldier in the great struggle ,for liberty, in the great Revolutionary war with Great Britain: He served over two years. Shortly after the United Colonies. gained their independence, my parents moved to Kentucky, which was a new country. It was an almost unbrok- en wilderness from Virginia to Kentucky at that early day, and this : wilderness raa feed with thousands of hostile Iridian, and many thousands of the emigrants lost their lives :by these say- Ages.'r Llis parents settled in ° Logan County, Kentucky, and he describes a follows the state of things in. the 4rude district wherein his boyhood was passed :. "When my father settled. in Logan. County there was not a newspaper print- ed south of Green River. no mills short of 40 miles, and no 'schools worth ,the -name. Sunday was a day set apart for hunting. fishing, horse -racing, card play- ing, bads, 'lances, and, all kinds of jollity and mirth. We killed our neat out of the woods, wild, and beat our; meal and horninly with a pestle and mortar. We stretched a deer skin over a hoop, burn- ed holes in it with the prongs of a fork, sifted out meal, baked our bread, eat it, and it was first-rate eating too. We raised, or gathered out of the woods, our, • .own tea. We had sage, , bohea, cross°° - vine, : spice, and sassafras teas, in abun- .tlance. .As for coffee, I am not sure that I ever smelled it for ten years.- We made our sugar out of the water of the maple tree, and our molasses too. These were great luxuries in those days. " We raised our own cotton and flax. We water -rotted- our flax, broke it by hand, scutched it;; picked the seed out of the cotton with our fingers ; our mothers and sisters carded, spun, " and wove it into cloth, and they cut -and made our ,garments,, bed- clothes, &c, And when we got on a new suit thus manufactured, .and sallied out into company, we thought ourselves:. 'so big as anybody)," He says frankly he was neither better nor worse than the other boys in his section "' I was naturally a wild wicked boy, and delighted in horse -racing, card -play- ing and danccing.My father -restrained me but little, though my mother often talked, to me, wept over me,_ and often drew= tears to my eyes ; and though I .often wept under preaching, and resole - .ed to do better and seek religion, yet I broke my vows, went into young com- pany, rode races, played " cards, and .danced.." In 1801, when he was in his six- teenth; year, there was a religious ' meeting held near his Home, and he was converted. He says : 'To this meeting I repaired a guilty, -wretched sinner. On the Saturday -evening of said nmeeting. I went with weeping multitudes. and bowed before the stand and earnestly prayed for mercy. In the midst of a solemn struggle •of soul an impression was madeon my Mind as though a voice said to me, 'Thy .airs, are all forgiven thee.' Divine light flashed all around me, unspeakable joy, sprung up in my sail. Erose to my feet, opened my eyes, and it really "seemed as if 1 was in heaven : the trees, the leaves .on them, and everything seemed, and I really thought were, praising God. My mother raised the shout, my Christian friends srowdecl around me and joined e in praising God.. and though I have n since then in many instances un- faithful, yet I have never for one mo- 4meat doubted that the Lord did then .and there forgivemy sins and give rnr- religion." There was a great revival of re- ligion: in, 1801,and he attended several camp meetings of the Metho- "dists and Presbyterians, and in the .Spring of 1802 he Was formally per- mitted to ' exercise his gifts as and exhorter.' The 'Kentucky boy' and the 'boy poacher,' as he`was called, entered with great ardor upon his duties in the Waynesville circuit, and before his twentieth year was widely known for his zeal and elo- quence. Iu 1808, he and about twenty Ken=tucky preachers attend- ed the Conference in East Tennes- see, at Ebenezer Church, Nolli- chu'ekie, and he was ordained a dea- con by Bishop .Asbury. Several travelling preachers had been placed oil probation for the office of deacon, but many fell off, owing to the pri- vations they had to endure. He gives us this insight into the hard times which prevaRed "I think I received about $40 this year (181G) but many of our preachers did not receive half that amount. These were hard times in those Western wilds; many, very many, pious and useful preachers were literally- starved into a location. I do not mean that they were starved for want of food ; for though it was rough, yet the preachers generally got enough to eat. But they did not gen- erally' receive in a whole year money enough, to get them a suit of .clothes ; and if people and preachers too, had not dressed in home -spun clothing, and the good sisters had not made and presented their preachers with clothing, they gen- erally must retire from itinerent life, and go to work and clothe themselves. Money was very scarce in the country at this early day, but some of the best men God • ever made breasted the storms, endured poverty, and triumphantly planted Methodism in this western world." *hen in his 23rd year Peter Car Wright says he thought it his, 'duty to marry, and was `accordingly joined in marriage to Prances Gaines on the 18th of August 1808, his wife 19th birthday.. At the Con- ference at Liberty Hill, Tenn., held in October, 1808, he was elected and ordained an elders by Bishop Mc-' Kendree. in the course of the year 1809 his father died, leaving him to settle his little estate, which, owing to the forms of law, took him several rnouths__cthe longest time' he 'ever had from the " work of travelling preacher in 50 years. - Cartwrinht wrote - the autobiogra- phy from Mich we quote in 1856, and•makes in it many allusions to slavery which have' lost their inter- est from the crowning trint-ph of emancipation. It will suffice to sey on ,that point that, although he was brought tip in a Slave State, he re- garded human bondagei as a ' do- niestic, -political and moral evil,' and. shored that this was not merely a view of the question in the abstract by the satiafacticn with which, for instance, he . tells how a family in the Breekenlidge Circuit set their slaves free, and that ' the end of that family was peace.' H© also says with Christian enthusiasm "I have had glorious revivals of re- ligion among the slave, and have seen thousands of them soundly converted to God, and have stood by the bedside of the dying slave, and have heard thew'e1- ling shout of Christian victory from the dying negro as he entered the cold waters of the river of Jordan." In 1823, Mr. Cartwright remov- ed from the Cumberland district and travelled through Illinois in quest of a home, settling the year following in Sangamon County, at that time peopled . only by a few hardy and enterprising pioneers. After a few years he was elected to the Legislature, wherein'' his readi- ness 'at reply , ar d resolute spirit made him the victorl in manycod,- tendons into which he was drawn. He soon retired, from politics and ever afterward devoted hiraself ex- clusively to the duties of his min istry. He attended annual confer- ences with almost unfailing'. regular- ity for a series of years, -and was always a conspicuous member. Year after year he attended camp meet- ings, finding his greatest happiness in the good fruits whih . followed his preaching. He wes a delegate to numerous General Conferences, and retained " his interest in the spread of religion to the last. Writ- ing in 185`6, he said that be ' had travelled 11 .circuits and 12 dis- tricts, and received into the Metho- dist Episcopal Church 10,000 per- sons.' Worn out from his labors, 'and weakened by the i=nfirmities of age, he awaited death calmly, and will now repose among the Western people, whole he loved and devoted ly served. C. YEO.
