Caton was quickly convinced of the truth, and gave up to its purging and sanctifying power. He was made an effectual minister of the gospel before he was twenty years of age, but lived only to his twenty-ninth year. George Fox said of him - “His innocent life preached both righteousness and truth wherever he came, and was a sweet savor to God and in the hearts of the people. He was one who had a care for God’s glory and honor, and for the spreading of the Truth and the prosperity of it. He had many trials and exercises by false brethren, backsliders, and apostates, and among priests and professors, but the Lord gave him dominion over all.”","isbn":"978-1-64476-149-6","pages":[137],"code":{"css":{"cover":null},"html":{"cover":null}}}],"period":"early","authorUrl":"/friend/william-caton","documentUrl":"/william-caton/journal-letters","htmlShortTitle":"The Journal and Letters of William Caton","region":"England","tags":["journal","letters"]},{"title":"The Journal of Richard Jordan","author":"Richard Jordan","isCompilation":false,"editions":[{"size":"m","type":"modernized","blurb":"Richard Jordan (1756-1826) was awakened by a tenderizing visitation of the Holy Spirit when only twelve years old, and enabled to surrender himself entirely to the transforming and refining baptism of Jesus Christ.

Together with a remnant of bright, shining lamps in his generation, Griffith warred against a sad degeneracy into formality, tradition, and lifeless words amongst a people once distinguished by their adherence to the inward power and purity of the Holy Spirit. This instructive portion of his lengthy journal deals with his conversion, spiritual growth, and call to the ministry.","isbn":"978-1-64476-072-7","pages":[44],"code":{"css":{"cover":null},"html":{"cover":null}}}],"documentUrl":"/john-griffith/journal-selection","htmlShortTitle":"Selection from the Journal of John Griffith","ed":[{"audio":{"added":"2016-08-03T04:00:00Z"}}]},{"title":"The Ancient Path","author":"John Griffith","isCompilation":false,"editions":[{"size":"s","type":"updated","blurb":"This treatise, written by John Griffith in 1762, contains insightful commentary and valuable counsel on the subjects of parenting, the new birth, the nature of true worship, true and false ministry, and the right understanding and practice of discipline in the Church.","isbn":"978-1-64476-074-1","pages":[125],"code":{"css":{"cover":null},"html":{"cover":null}}}],"documentUrl":"/john-griffith/ancient-path","htmlShortTitle":"The Ancient Path","ed":[{"audio":{"added":"2018-03-02T05:00:00Z"}}]},{"title":"Selection from the Journal of John Conran","author":"John Conran","isCompilation":false,"editions":[{"size":"s","type":"updated","blurb":"Until his mid 30’s, John Conran (1739-1827) was a zealous member of the Church of England, but longing after inward purity and a real transformation of soul, he began to attend meetings of the Society of Friends, and there was powerfully confronted by the Spirit of God. Being awakened to his true spiritual condition, and his need for Christ’s baptism in the Holy Spirit and fire, he “denied himself, picked up his cross, and followed Christ,” and so became a vessel of honor in the Lord’s house.
