Excerpt from Joseph Edwin Roy, 1827-1908: A Faithful Servant of God and of His Own Generation; A Brief Biography In the summer of 1840, he was much moved in a revival meeting conducted by an evangelist named Gallagher; and the following summer, learning that a session of the presbytery, which was to be held with the Congregational church at Lyndon, was to be followed by protracted meetings, he agreed with himself in advance to make that the time to become a Christian, but let the time go by. Some weeks of struggle fol lowed, during which the step-mother and an aunt pleaded with him - the father being then absent on a journey to Ohio - and at length, by his own fireside, he confessed his faith in Christ, in a covenant which lasted through the years. The next night, in a young people's meeting, he made his public confession; and at the January com munion of the Lyndon church, in 1842, he entered into fellowship with the Church.
