In South Carolina. 313 



it was this, it seems: During an Indian war, in which 

 there was an expedition against the Kewee towns, it 

 was found by measurement that it was ninety-six miles 

 from that spot to Twelve-mile Creek. 



Friday, 19. I preached at Samuel Burdine's, on 

 Heb. vi. 12, and pretty fully explained the doctrine of 

 Christian baptism, and Christian perfection. 



Saturday, 20. I gave a sermon at John Wilson's, 

 in which I treated largely on the right of persons who 

 were awakened to receive baptism ; and also upon the 

 claim of infants to this holy rite of the Church. 



Sunday, 21. At Salem, on the Saluda, I preached 

 upon Matt, xxviii. 19, 20. I went home with James 

 Tarrant, a local preacher; my friend has, for two quar- 

 ters, filled a traveling preacher's place, and a very ac- 

 ceptable servant he has proved to be. 



Monday, 22. I rode to Thomas Terry^s, upon the 

 forks of Eeedy_Ei,ver. 



Wednesday, 24. I gave an exhortation in the even- 

 ing, on 1 Cor. xv. 58. Next day I went to Nathan 

 Bramlett's. I called to see Mrs. Price, eldest daugh- 

 ter of my once dear old friend, Alexander Leith, for- 

 merly of Baltimore. 



Sunday, 28. At Bramlett's Chapel I spoke on Acts 

 ii. 37-39. 



Monday, 29. We had a cold, hungry ride of thirty 

 miles to Henry Culvor Davis's, a native of Maryland, 

 and now of Newberry District, South Carolina. The 

 first society we formed at this place declined, and so 

 many removed few were left; this year they repaired 

 the meeting-house; and the Lord poured out his Spirit, 

 ctnd nearly one hundred have been added. I found the 

 labors of L. Myers and B. Wheeler had been greatly 

 blessed in Broad River Circuit, South Carolina.
