IN preaching to the people of Wotton Rowland Hill said, "Because I am in earnest, men call me an enthusiast.
When I first came to this part of the country I was walking on yonder hill, and I saw a gravel pit fall in and bury three human beings alive. I called for help so loudly that I was heard in a town at a distance of nearly a mile. Help came and two of the men were rescued. No one called me an enthusiast then.
"And I see eternal destruction ready to fall on poor sinners, and to sink their souls into an eternal hell, and I call on them to escape. Shall I be called an enthusiast now? No! I am not an enthusiast in doing so; I call on you aloud to fly for refuge to Jesus Christ, the One set before you in the gospel."
