In South Carolina. 363 



miles. As it was a day of general parade on Tuesday 

 at Columbia, I returned to General Hutchinson's. 

 Next day we reached Camden. Thursday, I preached 

 in Camden. I spent Friday at Eembert Hall, read- 

 ing and writing. 



Sabbath, 13. I preached at Reinbert's Chapel. Mr. 

 Remhert was thrown out of his sulky, but there was 

 no mischief done, except that some old bruises were 

 wakened up. My subject to-day was Matt. xxiv. 45. 



Sabbath, 20. At Rembert's Chapel, I spoke on Deut. 

 v. 29. O that God would visit these people! Last 

 week I have occasionally ridden out for exercise, but I 

 am pretty busy with writing, family duty, and reading. 

 My mind is wholly devoted to God and his work. 



On Tuesday, 22, we went to Bradford's. Wednes- 

 day evening we lodged at Simpson's tavern. On 

 Thursday, at Monk's Corner. Friday, Christmas-day, 

 brought us to Charleston. 



Sabbath, 27. I preached at the Old Church, on 

 Matt. vii. 21. At Bethel, on Deut. x. 12. 



Friday, January 1, 1808. Our Conference began. 

 We sat six hours a day, had great harmony, and little 

 or no trouble in stationing the preachers. Preaching 

 every noon to the Conference and others. In my ser- 

 mon on Sabbath-day, at the Old Church, I took some 

 notice of the life and labors of Bennett Kendrick and 

 George Dougherty. The increase of members in the 

 bounds of this and the Western Conference, for this 

 year, is three thousand seven hundred members; 

 preachers twenty-three. 



Wednesday, 6. We rode back to Rembert Hall. 

 Busy writing letters. In the midst of restless days 

 and nights of pain, my mind enjoys great peace. On 

 Saturday I rode to Camden.
