He was at first permitted to preach in some of our churches; but the clergy, taking a dislike to him, soon refused him their pulpits, and he was obliged to preach in the fields. The multitudes ofall sects and denominations that attended his sermons were enormous. . . . It was wonderful to see the change soon made in the manners ofour inhabitants. From being thoughtless or indifferent about religion, it seemed as ifall the world were growing religious, so that one could not walk thro’ the town inan evening without hearing psalms sung in different families of every street.”  \nBenjamin Franklin, The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin  \n1.
