Iy South Carolina. 387 



we stopped. Kind widow Bonnell sent her chaise 

 after me. I must change my mode of traveling, 1 

 suppose. I preached twice in the Wesley Chapel. 

 This is a good, neat house, sixty feet by forty. I en- 

 joyed great peace. Our chapel cost five thousand 

 dollars; others would have made it cost twice as much, 

 perhaps. We are indebted to Myers and Russell for 

 much of this saving. The Presbyterian Church hath 

 changed its form to Independent — Doctor Kollock 

 must be the same. 



Monday, 22. Rode to Mr. Thibeau's plantation: 

 sweet retreat! Tuesday, we rode forty-six miles to 

 Wainer's. I am again in a chaise; James Russell in- 

 sisted upon giving me an old gig worth forty-five dol- 

 lars. We are safe in Charleston, visiting Black Swamp 

 and some families as we came along. We have had 

 cold, hungry traveling. My mind is holiness to the 

 Lord. We found our family here in health. 



Sunday, December 12. I preached in Trinity 

 Church; we have it now in quiet possession. I also 

 officiated in Cumberland and Bethel churches. The 

 society is not so lively as formerly. In visiting six 

 families I found but two that acknowledged God in 

 his word and worship. Ah, woe is me! 



Thursday, 16. We attended the funeral of Dr. Keith, 

 suddenly called away, and greatly lamented by all, es- 

 pecially by the people of color; he had been twenty- 

 six years a minister of the Independent Church. 

 Most of the clergy of the city were present, and there 

 was great solemnity observed. We lecture morning 

 and evening. We labor to live in and for God; we 

 desire to receive rich and poor, people and ministers: 

 and to consecrate, in the order of faith and prayer, 

 every room and every heart in the house, to God.
