Joseph Hutchinson's was quite a rendezvous for the weary itinerants, and being near the line between `East' and `West' Jersey, the preachers on the two charges would sometimes meet here.".

While there they met with a number of traveling preachers. Ezekeil Cooper, J. M'Claskey ... and Robert Sparks ... among them. They became wonderfully attached to them; and their preaching and conversation made impressions which resulted in their conversion. During the year a class was organized ... among its members were Joseph Hutchinson and wife. This brother was very zealous and ... erected at Milford, almost entirely at his own expense, a house of worship for the despised band.

But he lifted his cross and stood up, and preached from Isa. ii. 3. They were all astonished at the marvelous manner in which God assisted the stripling. His mother, especially, wept profusely during the whole service.
