TAYLOR (FATHER TAYLOR) EARLY YEARS IN BOSTON 139 The fame of the great preacher s advent went abroad in the wilderness, and drew a large con course of people to hear him when he preached from the deck of the steamer at Greenville, the Sunday after our arrival. " It seemed " (to quote his own words) " as if God had shaken the woods and hills to bring his people together. " I re mained to note the strange audience that had gathered from nobody appeared to know where pioneer settlers and wood-chop...pers, hunters and trappers and guides, half-breeds and Indians, stage-drivers, steamboat-men and tourists, with many women and children ; then, having heard enough of the sermon to write a notice of it, I stole away to my room in the hotel to indite my Olive Branch letter. It was known to the members of our party that I did not stay through the services, and it occa sioned some comment, which I regretted, fearing to wound my venerable friend, not in his minis terial vanity, if he had any, but by inspiring in him a pious concern for my soul.
