In South Carolina. 307 



a minister's attempting to instruct any number of 

 blacks with the doors shut; and authorizing a peace- 

 officer ,to break open the door in such cases, and dis- 

 perse or whip the offenders. 



Monday, 22. We rode to Thomas Hardy's, in the 

 forks of Enoree and Tiger rivers — nine miles. 



Tuesday, 23. At Bluford's meeting-house, Broth- 

 er Whatcoat performed upon Phil. iii. 14. We went 

 forward twelve miles to Mr. Glenn's, at Broad River. 

 I have had heart-felt sorrow for the Church of God 

 in Philadelphia. No city upon our continent has been 

 more oppressed by divisions in Christian societies: 

 witness the Episcopalians, Presbyterians, German and 

 English, Quakers, Baptists, Scotch - Presbyterians, 

 Roman Catholics — and now the Methodists: I have 

 written on this subject to three official characters. 



Wednesday, 24 I gave a sermon upon 2 Peter i. 

 4, at Glenn's chapel, near Broad River: we had an open 

 season and many hearers. At Glenn's Flat, Chester 

 county, Sealey's meeting-house, we kept our Christ- 

 mas. Brother Whatcoat preached on " The Son of God 

 was manifested to destroy the works of the devil." 

 My subject was, " Glory to God in the highest, and on 

 earth peace, good- will toward men." We lodged at 

 Robert Walker's, eighty years of age, awakened un- 

 der Mr. Whiteneld in Fogg's Manor — reawakened at 

 Pipe Creek, and a member of the first Methodist So- 

 ciety in Maryland : he is now living upon Sandy River, 

 South Carolina. 



Friday, 26. We traveled a barren path, and came 

 to Alexander Carter's, upon Fishing Creek — a journey 

 of about thirty miles, without food for man or beast, 

 and the weather warm to great excess : after our arri- 

 val we had a night-meeting.
