In South Carolina. 319 



Sunday, 27. I preached an ordination-sermon upon 

 Gal. i. 15, 1G, after which we set apart Bennet Ken- 

 drick to the elder's office, to which he had been elected 

 at the Virginia Conference. In the afternoon I gave 

 them my farewell discourse in Cumberland Street 

 Meeting-house; my subject was Eph. iv. 1, 2. 



Monday, 28. Began our journey to Augusta; dined 

 at Mr. Carr's, in Dorchester, and stopped for the 

 night with Mr. Isaac Perry, upon Cypress Swamp, by 

 whom we were most affectionately received, and most 

 comfortably accommodated. 



Tuesday, 29. Stopped to dine with Captain Koger, 

 and came to S.'s; next day to Trotter's. On Thurs- 

 day, December 1, came to Pierce's, Tinker's Creek. 



Friday, 2. Reached our place of destination. My 

 lodging in Augusta is with Peter Cantalou, a friend 

 from France. 



Sunday, 4. Preached on Col. vi. 2, 3, in the 

 morning; in the afternoon on 2 Cor. vi. 2. We have 

 a house here sixty feet by forty, an attentive and large 

 congregation, and seventy members in fellowship. I 

 hope this Conference will give us one hundred souls 

 converted. 



January 4, 1804. "We met for Conference. Bishop 

 Coke preached in the morning and in the afternoon 

 at John's (the old house), Augusta. On Monday we 

 opened our Conference in Mr. Cantaiou's house. We 

 conducted our business in great harmony, and did it 

 hastily. There was preaching every evening, and the 

 bishops bore their share of ministerial labors. Elders 

 and deacons were ordained. I found little difficulty 

 in stationing the preachers. The Conference rose at 

 eleven o'clock on Thursday, and I took the road and 

 reached Columbia on Saturday, and rode to Camden
