    In 1852, "there was a revival at North Cambridge (VT), near the edge of Fletcher. This was long known as "The Great Reformation", and had a widespread and strong influence. John Kinsley was among the many converted. He had faced determined and persistent opposition. For 60 years righteousness was supreme in his life. He had a dominant sense of God. he was a man of inflexible honesty and his house was a home of Bible reading and prayer. He joined the Methodist church, into which he was followed by all his children. He commanded his household to know the way of the Lord."
