EV. PETER McCULLOUGH lived and labored in the Valley of Virginia, and the West. In 1857, he wrote to Rev. W. B. Wellons from Harrisonburg, Virginia, and invited him to make a visit to that section of the country. He says, "I am anxious for, you to visit our section." In speaking of his labors he says, "I have recently held a few meetings which resulted gloriously. Nearly fifty were converted and forty-three were added to the church, and I baptized thirty-eight believers in Christ. Liberal Christianity is advancing some."

      In 1858, he attended the Southern Christian Convention at Cypress chapel in Nansemond county, and was invited to a seat as an honorary member from the Central Virginia Conference. Thursday's session was closed with prayer by Elder P. McCullough. He opposed the "departing from established principles" of the Church. The labors of Elder McCullough were various; he was soliciting agent for the Publishing House, and became the first secretary of the Christian Publishing Association in 1866. In 1887, he reported a glorious revival at Bethlehem church in Brown county, Ohio. He received 33 members as the result of this meeting; 118 members within fifteen months. [298]
