Author's preface:
Many of my friends have asked me from time to time to write down much of the matter contained in this volume. I have selected a few outstanding conversions and some of the interesting incidents of a ministry of almost half a century in many lands. It has been a pleasure to me to refresh my memory and look back to the blessings that have come to us from God on many occasions in a very gracious way. Many remarkable conversions crowd my mind, and many incidents that I had not thought of for years, come up before me. I have selected these few with the hope that they may prove interesting and helpful to those who may read them.
The Table of Contents are as follows:
Chapter 1 — ONE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE CONVERSIONS UNDER MY MINISTRY
Chapter 2 — THE MAN WITH SNAKES IN HIS BOOTS AND MONKEYS ON HIS BEDPOST
Chapter 3 — A GRACIOUS MANIFESTATION OF GRACE
Chapter 4 — THE DIFFERENCE IN OFFERING PRAYER AND ISSUING ORDERS
Chapter 5 — RESTORATION AND SALVATION
Chapter 6 — A FATHER’S PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED
Chapter 7 — UNLOADING A COW
Chapter 8 — AN INTERESTING INCIDENT IN MY EARLY MINISTRY
Chapter 9 — OBEDIENCE TO THE HIGHER LAW
Chapter 10 — ENTERING THE MINISTRY ON HORSEBACK
Chapter 11 — PLOWING DEEP
Chapter 12 — THE OLD COLORED PREACHER
Chapter 13 — A CITY SET ON AN HILL
Chapter 14 — MY ARREST AND RESCUE
Chapter 15 — SAVED TO SERVE
About the author:
Morrison was in Barren County, Kentucky. His parents died when he was very young, and he was reared by his paternal grandfather. Morrison was converted at the age of 11 in a Methodist revival at the Boyd's Creek Meetinghouse near Glasgow, Kentucky. Soon after he felt a call to the ministry. He was licensed to preach at the age of 19 and began his work as circuit rider and station pastor.
In 1890 Morrison left the pastorate and moved into evangelism. He also began editing a religious publication called The Old Methodist, which later became the widely-read Pentecostal Herald. Morrison's reputation as a Methodist evangelist grew rapidly from his home state of Kentucky to most other states and many foreign countries. The camp meeting became one of his favorite evangelistic venues, and throughout the rest of his life Morrison gave much time and effective leadership to this religious movement. William Jennings Bryan regarded Morrison to be "the greatest pulpit orator on the American continent."
