ble labors many sinners were brought to a saving knowledge of the 

 Redeemer. He dearly loved his brethren, and always cheerfully ac- 

 cepted his appointed places of labor and privation. In the general 

 wreck by disease of both his physical and mental powers, the knowl- 

 edge of Christ, his friend and Saviour, survived the recognition of 

 even wife and mother, and in sweet hope he died in Summerville, 

 December 23, 1877. 



Pegues, Eufus Randolph was born in Marlboro District, South 

 Carolina, February 6, 1830, and came into the Church in early life, 

 under the influence of a mother who had the unfeigned faith of Eu- 

 nice, and of a father who, like Cornelius, was "a devout man, and 

 one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the 

 people, and prayed to God always." He was graduated at Randolph- 

 Macon College, and soon after — in December, 1855 — entering the 

 South Carolina Conference on trial, was appointed to Marion Cir- 

 cuit; 1856, Walterboro; 1857, Wadesboro Circuit; 1858, Wadesboro 

 Station; 1859-60, Bennettsville Circuit; 1861, without appointment 

 at his own request; 1862, Coalfields Railroad Mission; 1863, Liberty 

 Chapel and Lynch's Creek; 1864-65, Cheraw; 1866, Bennettsville; 

 1867-68, Concord; 1869, Wadesboro; 1870-71, Marion; 1872-75, su- 

 pernumerary on North Marlboro Circuit; 1876, superannuated. His 

 ministry was successful, and no member of the Conference ever sus- 

 tained a more unsullied reputation. The purity of his life, and the 

 unselfish devotion of his time, talents, and property to the great 

 work of human salvation, won the unbounded confidence and respect 

 of all classes of people where he labored. The beautiful devotion 

 of his life to the cause of God recalls the words of the seraphic 

 Thomas Walsh: "Thou knowest, O Lord, that there never was one 

 of thy servants upon earth whom I do not desire to resemble in do- 

 ing and suffering thy whole will. I would walk with thee, my God, 

 as Enoch did. I would follow thee into an unknown country, as 

 Abraham did, and I would give up all for thee, as did Moses and 

 Paul." With an affectionate farewell to his brethren of the Confer- 

 ence, in the midst of his family and friends, he fell asleep in Jesus, 

 October 17, 1877. 



Derrick, David was born July 28, 1800, in Lexington District, 

 South Carolina, and received into the Conference on trial January 

 11, 1827. With few educational advantages in early youth, and nat- 

 urally of a timid disposition, he had painful misgivings on entering 

 the ministry, but by close application to study and the fullest conse-
