In South Carolina. 281 



at Daniel Asbury's church, in Lincoln county, North 

 Carolina. 



Thursday, December 24, 1795. We came to Kings- 

 ton (Conwayborough), where I preached in an old 

 Presbyterian meeting-house, now repaired for the use 

 of the Methodists. I spent the evening with Yv r . 

 Kogers, formerly of Bristol, where our wants were 

 richly supplied. 



Christmas-day, 25. Came to Georgetown. The 

 vanity of dancing in this place is, in a good degree, 

 done away, and they have no play-house, and the peo- 

 ple are very attentive. After ten years' labor, we have 

 done but little, but if we could station a preacher here 

 we might hope for success. I found Brother Cannon 

 had not labored in vain. Brother Blanton, my faith- 

 ful friend and companion in travel, preached in the 

 evening. I preached on Psalm xii. 1, and on the 

 Sabbath I preached on Deut. v. 12-14. In the after- 

 noon the people were attentive and somewhat moved. 

 I find the scene is changed in Georgetown; we have 

 a number of very modest, attentive hearers, and a 

 good work among the blacks. The Methodists begin 

 to stand on even ground with their antagonists. 



Wednesday, 30. We reached Charleston. My soul 

 felt joyful and solemn at the thoughts of a revival of 

 religion in the city. 



Thursday, 31. We had a melting time at the love- 

 feast at Brother Wells's. 



Friday, January 1, 1796. I gave them a sermon 

 suited to the beginning of the year, and the sacred 

 fire was felt. 



Saturday, 2. We began our Conference. 



Lord's-day, 3, was a day of extraordinary divine 

 power, particularly at the sacrament.
