J OA 11 POWELL CIRCUIT RIDER
The gospel furrow deep to plow
Peter Cartwrlght and Lorenzo Dow
Taught the circuit riders how
To persevere In saving men.
No group too small to preach to them.
Were it two hundred, two or ten.
A tough-bitted cayuse or broncho to ride.
In suit of blue homespun, woven and dyed.
Short on theology he counted no loss.
Book-learning was useless rivers to cross.
Rugged, unsalaried, his eloquence rolls.
Preaching God's word and saving men's souls.
Exhortlne pioneers without style or pride.
Hurling the brimstone to make sinners hide,
Sndd1e-bar of mvstic creation.
Bulging with every sort of donation,
Bible and hymn book and next days ration.
To bolster his spirit and ward off starvation.
He was combined prophet, leader, preacher.
Actor, clown, revivalist and teacher.
Industry's golden lessons he taught.
Ways of peace to the Indians brought.
Too busy saving souls of men.
To have thoughts of traffic, trade or gain.
The rider wed, baptized and buried free.
Or took a side of bacon for a feel
He gave himself as sacred duty's thrall.
Gave his life and soul and heart and all.
Offering his prayers on virgin sod,
Rude mudsil of the Church of Ood.
With wintry skies his sheltering dome,
Phophet of the future state and home.
Following fearless trails o'er mountains wild,.
The plodding, tireless circuit rider ride, -Carrying
cheer to remotest country side.
To weary hearts a Heavenly guide.
The circuit rider's soul was not afraid
Of muttered threats of Indian raid.
Of better steel his heart was made
Than tomahawk or scalping blade.
The circuit rider apocalptlc saw
In expanding vision Heaven's law.
Following the footsteps of hia ruder arts,
Banning selfishness from human nearts.
A flaming torch in the wilderness, .
Messenger carrying crude messages.
Frightening men to righteousness.
Solacing hearts in dire distress.
Braving wolves and cougars in the forests,
Fording and swimming raging torrents, ,
Pouring blessings into lives unblest.
Soothing sinning hearts to peace and rest.
With winter blissards the sage brush raking.
This Boanerges the rough trail taking.
With every bone In his body aching.
His next appointment making,
All ferries and toll-gates passed him free.
All roadhouses opened no tramp was be.
This statue with every passing year
To ns will hold in memory dear
The doughty circuit rider's fame,
Preserve forever each hero's name
Who preached without equivocation.
Fear of hell-fire and damnation,
Offering grace and free salvation.
Tells bow from Joy of soul he sang
Till the lone woods with meiooy rang.
And rugged men beneath the trees "
Fell In worship on their knees.
Following him to shack or oft
To crowd the Salem courthouse loft.
Where in resonant voice with humor blent.
That magic to hia eloquence lent.
How of God's redemptive plan he'd tell
That for them there was no choice
No midway-place 'twixt heaven and hell.
With heart full of pity, head full of fact,
t He roasted sinners till the ridge pole cracked.
Told how the Saviour suffered on the tree,
So plain the wickedest sinuer couid see.
On to the next town that be could reach.
With a sheriff's permit to let him preach,
Down on the street you hear him shout:
"Come out, come out, tonight, tonight!
Circuit preaching at early candle ligbt,
v Let every man his candle bring.
3 Wrestling with the devil, hear Joab sing."
Clad in home-made breeches front-flapper style. .
With lungs that carried hts voice a mile.
Down at the courthouse hat In hand
The obliging sheriff took bis stand.
Gathering In the silver shower,
, Confessing the circuit rider's power. .
Captivated by bis wiles
In droves the settlers came for miles;
Neighbors gathered from tar and near
- The exhorting rider's pleas to bear
E'en lawyers haste their way to beat
Smiting to bis mercy seat.
v - WItb rude but heavenly powers of grace,
With tears streaming down bis face.
He takes them by the band with one accord
'-And leads them shoating. Glory to the Lord!
; ' A collection was taken by Dr. Horner, netting over forty dollars to
pt a new root oa the church.
