<p class=just>Both of Olivers’ parents died when he was young, so he did not receive thorough religious training as a child. Fortunately, he heard a sermon by G. Whitefield which eventually led him to Christ. Following his conversion, he joined the Methodist Society at Bradford-on-Avon. It was through that organization that he first met <a href = "./hymns/hymns_bio/bio_w_e_wesley_j.html" >John Wesley</a>, and joined his evangelistic efforts, mostly in Cornwall. For some time, Olivers co-edited the <em>Arminian Magazine</em>. He also wrote an elegy upon the death of John Wesley.</p>
