[I]t was not until my fourteenth year that I was strongly impressed with the necessity of repentance and forgiveness of sin.  One Sunday morning, I ran out, with a crowd of the neighbours, to hear two men who were singing aloud as they walked along the street, in their way to the market-place,—"Turn to the Lord and seek salvation!”  They were called “Ranters,” by the crowd; but I soon learned that they termed themselves “Primitive Methodists.”  These men remained in the town for some weeks, and preached in the open air, and held meetings in houses; and the crowd, young and old, were greatly affected.
