The Southern Colonies, though visited by White- field, did not share extensively in the great revival of the middle of the eighteenth century. The Protestant Episcopal Church in Virginia did not give a cordial welcome to the revival influences. The preaching in Virginia pulpits was generally formal, and on topics merely moral. Morgan Morgan and Devereux Jarratt were notable exceptions. Chapter XIII. COLONIAL AVORSHIP AND USAGES. 1. The Sermon was the Chief Part in the Puritan service. The preac...her was supplied with an hour- glass, and it was not uncommon for it to be reversed twice during his discourse, when a new start was made each time. There was a wide range to the sermon. The Old Testament was a favorite part of the Script- ures for subjects. The formal divisions, extending to great numerical length, were the rule. The people were kept awake, if not by the sermon, at least by the tithing-man, who walked around at fit times with his pole, and touched the offenders on the head. The colonial period was the golden age of political preach- ing in New England.
