It was noted for its mineral springs, and its pleasure-seeking society.
Asbury spent a month there, using the stage as a preaching platform, and
sleeping with the actors at night.
Whatever situation he encountered, it was turned into a Gospel
opportunity.
Just over two years later he got a church built "at this place of
wickedness."
Perhaps he succeeded because, although he denounced the sins of society, he was,
like his Master, a friend of the sinners.
