October 10, 1821: Law student Charles Finney, 29, goes into the woods near his home to settle the question of his soul's salvation.

Finney later became one of American history's most influential (and controversial) revivalists and purportedly converted of 500,000 people (see issue 20: Charles Grandisen Finney).
