In South Carolina. 303 



Sunday, 19. Subject, 1 Peter i. 6, 7. At intervals 

 Nicholas Snethen read to me those excellent sermons 

 of Mr. James Saurin, a French Protestant minister at 

 the Hague; they are long, elaborate, learned, doc- 

 trinal, practical, historical, and explanatory. 



Thursday night, 23. Departed this life, Edward 

 Rutledge, Governor of South Carolina. He was one 

 of the tried patriots of 1775 and 1776. The Africans 

 gave him a good character for his humanity. On 

 Saturday, 25th, his dust is to be committed to dust. 

 " I have said ye are God's, but ye shall all die like 

 men, and fall like one of the princes." 



Sunday, 26. Preached on Rom. xii. 9-11. 



Wednesday, February 5. Dined with Jesse Vaugh 

 and visited Mr. Wamack's family at the Orphan 

 House. There is no institution in America equal to 

 this; two or three hundred orphans are taught, fed 

 and clothed, and then put apprentices to good trades. 



Friday, 7. Jesse Lee and George Dougherty came 

 to town. The former has been a route of about six 

 hundred miles, and my poor gray has suffered for it. 



Sunday, 9. Gave my last charge at Cumberland 

 Street Church from Rom. xii. 14-18. We went north 

 by way of Monk's Corner, Nelson's Ferry, Gibson's, 

 Rembert's, Camden, Horton's,. and Jackson's. 



Friday, 21. Attended meeting at Anson Court- 

 house (Wadesboro). We had no small congregation 

 at Mr. Cash's new house. I was kindly entertained 

 by his fathers, when in Virginia and Tennessee, and 

 now by him. They offered us money, food, lodging, 

 or whatever we wanted. At Threadgill's meeting- 

 house Nicholas Snethen preached. We then hasted 

 to Mr. Atkin's. 



Sunday, 23. At Handle's Church (in Montgomery
