“When the [Separatist] Baptists appeared, [the Anglican and Colonel] Cary tried to stop their preaching by threatening prison; to his chagrin , they seized the chance for a few months of martyrdom. Nor did imprisonment silence the itinerants: the preached through the bars, and when Cary, in desperation, built a brick wall around the jail, they shouted louder.” Christine Leigh Heyrman, Southern Cross: The Beginings of the Bible Belt p.16.

While it is unfortunate that their antagonists were fellow Christ-lovers, their zeal and love for the Lord put in action is awe-inspiring.
