Said he, putting his hand on his breast, "You see old Jacob?
de old _sinner_ use to go on _drinkin', swearin', dancin', fightin'!_ No God-- no Savior--no soul! _When old England and de Merica fall out de first time_, old Jacob was a man--a wicked sinner!--drink rum, fight--love to fight! Carry coffin to de grabe on me head; put dead body under ground--dance over it--den fight and knock man down--go 'way, drink rum, den take de fiddle.

And so me went on, just so, till me get sick and going to die--thought when me die, dat be de end of me;--_den de Savior come to me!_ Jacob love de Savior, and been followin' de good Savior ever since." He continued his story, describing the opposition he had to contend with, and the sacrifices he made to go to church.

After working on the estate till six o'clock at night, he and several others would each take a large stone on his head and start for St.John's; nine miles over the hills.

After he had finished this account, he read to us, in a highly animated style, some of the hymns which he taught to the old people, and then sung one of them.
