Rev. Lemuel Wiley
Read 'Rev. Lemuel Wiley' by 'Edgar Lee Masters' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
I preached four thousand sermons,
I conducted forty revivals,
And baptized many converts.
Yet no deed of mine
Shines brighter in the memory of the world,
And none is treasured more by me:
Look how I saved the Blisses from divorce,
And kept the children free from that disgrace,
To grow up into moral men and women,
Happy themselves, a credit to the village.
