rebuke from childhood until the hour of his dismission from the 

 trials and cares of earth. As a preacher, he was kind, earnest, prac- 

 tical, simple, and loving. 



McGregor, Jonathan L. was a native of South Carolina; en- 

 tered the Conference on trial in November, 1856, and was appointed 

 for 1857 to Waccamaw Mission ; 1858, Charlotte Circuit ; 1859, San- 

 tee Mission; 1860, Liberty Chapel Mission; 1861, Kichland Fork

Morris, John Piper was born in Devon, England ; brought up 

 in Hamilton, Canada, whither his father emigrated while he was 

 yet a child ; converted in early life ; came South, by advice of his 

 physicians, to escape consumption ; entered the South Carolina 

 Conference on trial in December, 1866, and was appointed for 

 1867 to Aiken ; and 1868 to Darlington Station, where, after preach- 

 ing but once to his new congregation, his spirit calmly passed to 

 God, on the .morning of the 24th of January. His gentlemanly de- 

 portment, his culture and polish, his humility, purity, and intelli- 

 gent zeal, won his way to the esteem and hearts of all who knew 

 him. His brilliant intellect, his pure taste, his graceful manner, 

 seemed to mark him for distinction; and these gifts, all sanctified 

 as they were by divine grace, promised great usefulness to the 

 Church had his life been spared. 



Myers, Lewis (see Chapter XIII.). 



Nokley, Richmond was a native of Virginia; brought up in 

 Georgia, whither his parents moved when he was quite young; con- 

 verted about the year 1806; admitted on trial in the South Carolina 

 Conference in December, lb 07, and appointed for 1S0S to Edisto 

 Circuit; 1809, Wilmington; 1810, Charleston; 1811, Washington, 

 Georgia; 1812-13, missionary to the settlements on the Tombig- 

 bee River; 1814-15, Attakapas, Louisiana, where his life and toil 

 ceased together. In the evening of November 24, 1815, he left his 

 valise, saddle-bags, and a parcel of books, with his Indian guide and 

 attempted to ride across a swollen stream. The current was rapid, 

 and beat him and his horse down ; the banks were steep, so that his 

 horse could not get out. In the struggle they parted ; he got hold 

 of a bush and pulled himself out; his horse swam back to the shore 

 from whence they started. He then directed the Indian to keep his 

 horse until morning, and he would walk on to the first house, about 

 two miles distant. When he had proceeded about a mile on the way 

 the wet and cold combined stopped his progress there in the woods.
