Memoir of John Leech from The Methodist Magazine 1812
This fragment recalls the early life of John Leech born in Rochdale Lancashire around 1738. His mother fostered reading prayer and warns against bad company. A preaching event in a barn moves him as a child and seeds of faith appear. The piece notes ministers visiting but with limited immediate impact.
