ANDREW, JAMES O. 



ANGLICAN CHURCHES. 



placed him in command of the Department 

 of Kentucky, and subsequently of that of 

 the Cumberland, which his shattered health 

 compelled him to relinquish in the following 

 October. From this time till his retirement 

 from active service, October 27, 1863, he per- 

 formed no duty except for a short period in 

 command of Fort Adams, Newport harbor, 

 Rhode Island. However, to entitle him to full 

 pay, the Government generously gave him a 

 nominal position on the staff of the general 

 commanding the Eastern Department, which 

 continued until terminated by army regula- 

 tions and law. On February 3, 1865, he was 

 brevetted a major-general, "for gallant and 

 meritorious service in the harbor of Charles- 

 ton, S. C., in the defence of Fort Sumter." 



In 1870 he went abroad, first to Dresden, 

 then to Tours, and finally to Nice, hoping for 

 relief in the mild, congenial climate of South- 

 ern France; but his health was so broken by 

 his long service and severe wound in the army, 

 and his constitution so shattered by the hard- 

 ships and anxiety he had endured at Fort Sum- 

 ter, that death in his sixty-seventh year at last 

 came to end his sufferings. 



ANDREW, Right Rev. JAMES OSGOOD, D. D., 

 the senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal 

 Church South, born in Georgia in 1794 ; died 

 in Mobile, Ala., March 2, 1871. He joined the 

 South Carolina Conference in 1812 or 1813, 

 received deacon's orders in 1814, and full or- 

 dination in 1816. After passing through the 

 usual course of promotion in the Methodist 

 Church, being for several years a presiding 

 elder, etc., he was ordained bishop by the 

 General Conference which met in Philadelphia 

 in 1832. He had, meantime, married a lady 

 who owned slaves; but, though this fact was 

 known at the time of his ordination as bishop, 

 and the declarations of Wesley on the subject 

 were very explicit, yet no action was taken in 

 regard to his disqualification till the conference 

 which met in New York in 1844. Even then 

 the action seems not to have been formal or 

 regular, in the nature of an impeachment, but, 

 after a long and somewhat heated discussion, 

 a resolution was passed requesting him to de- 

 sist from exercising the functions of a bishop 

 until he should cease to be a slaveholder. 

 Thereupon, the representatives of thirteen 

 Southern conferences presented a protest 

 against the action of the General Convention, 

 and expressed their conviction that the further 

 exercise of jurisdiction over them by the General 

 Convention would be prejudicial to the interests 

 of the Church in the Southern States. This 

 led to the complete organization, in May, 1845, 

 of the " Methodist Episcopal Church South," 

 of which Bishop Andrew became one of the 

 first bishops, and over it he presided till his 

 death. Bishop Andrew was an able preacher, 

 a man of genial and kindly temper, not fond 

 of strife or controversy. He has left very few 

 published writings, principally sermons and 

 addresses, but till the failure of his health was 



a very active and devoted superintendent of 

 the Church.
