201 History of Methodism 



time for about nine days past ; and I have hopes that some hundreds 

 in this city will be converted by this time next year. 



As the ensuing Georgia Conference was again to be 

 held at Mr. Grant's, they traveled over the same route 

 as the year before. 



Friday, February 19. We rode to Edisto. At Giveham's I 

 preached on the " Great Salvation." There appeared to be atten- 

 tion, and some were affected. 



Saturday, 20. Was a dry time at Lynder's. Brother Whatcoat 

 preached. I was very unwell with a headache. 



Sunday, 21. We had a better season at Cattle Creek, on Malaehi 

 iii. 1. May God arise to help these people, and revive and work 

 mightily for and amongst them ! 



Monday, 22. We had a heavy ride. It was more so when we 

 came to preaching. Poor souls ! the Antinomian leaven brings

 spirit was bowed down amongst them. I spoke a little, and so did 

 Brother Whatcoat, We appointed a night-meeting. There came 

 only two men, and they were drunk. 



Friday, 26. There came about a dozen people to hear us at 

 Treadwell's, to whom Brother Whatcoat preached on " The works 

 of the flesh" and "The fruits of the Spirit." After riding thirty 

 miles through heavy sands, we came to Dr. Fuller's. I am strongly 

 inclined to think I am done with this road and people. They pass 

 for Christians. A prophet of strong drink might suit them. I was 

 clear in not receiving any thing without paying for it. 



Saturday, 27. Kocle to Campbelltown. Since Friday, the 19th, 

 we have ridden about one hundred and sixty miles. 



Sunday, 28. 1 preached on 1 Timothy i. 15. I had a very still 

 and unfeeling congregation. The inhabitants of this little town
