THE SLEEPING PREACHER,
i
Or The Strange Case of Major Perry,
Negro.x
Written for Dispatch by Henry Fulmer.
It was while on a visit in Saluda
county that I had the pleasure of
witnessing an interesting phenomenon.
I think an account of "The
Sleeping Preacher" appeared in the
Dispatch some years ago, but maybe
another report may be of interest.
On Saturday evening 18th of August,
1906, Rube and I set out for Major
Perry's, a distance of nine miles.
The drive was pleasant and just as we
crossed Cloud's creek we began a race
with a storm cloud. The rapid lightning
urged us to hasten, so we arrived
at Perry's at 8 o'clock, before he retired,
and standing there in the yard
unhitching, I looked about and saw
what seemed a fit setting to the ob
ject of our visit. In the background
and yet behind us was the storm.
Lightning flashes showed cotton
patches around and infront was the
cabin where the "Sleeping Negro
Preacher" lived. He is an old man,
57 or 56 years of age, and at one time
was a slave. He is an illiterate mulatto,
but has some intelligence.
Psychology gives instances similar
to this one. The person has a diseased
brain to which the faculty of
memory is abnormally and involuntarily
active during sleep, or under
some other condition. During this
abnormal activity the victim may
recount in the minutest detail some
experience <^f his past life or even
some innermost thought of his never
before uttered. I say Major Perry's
case is similar, because in all his
"sleeping ministry" of twenty-six
years he has preached from but
twenty-five or thirty texts using the
same of thought, illustrations, and
often the same words.
At half past eight Major Perry retired.
As he lay there in bed we
watched him closely and saw him
quietly pass into sleep?just a natural
sleep it appeared. Not more than two
minutes elapsed before he muttered a
few times as if in conversation. I
noticed a twitching of his hand?then
immediately he repeated two lines of
the hvmn:
"A charge to keep I have,"
and 3ang them. When he |had sung
about two stanzas he seemed to wreary
and afterward would "line out" and
pause long enough for it to be sung
then "line out" again.
Finishing the hymn he threw himself
on his side, clasped his hands and
offered a fervent prayer. After the
customary introductory petition he
invoked the aid of Almighty God in
turning sinners to Christ, specifying
particularly gamblers, liars, and
newscarriers and closed with an acknowledgement
of the weakness of
humanity.
Major Perry announced his text as
being in Matt. 13:50: 4 'And shall cast
them into the furnace of fire; there
shall be wailing and gnashing of
teeth." He said in substance that in
his weak way he would try to remind
his hearers of their sins, t:> tell them
of the punishment awaiting the unrepentant
and of the reward for those
who turned to God.
In the impassioned speech of the
average 4'nigger" preacher and in
"nigger" dialect, he spoke of tiie
prevailing forms of sin among the lay
members of the church, hypocrisy,
gambling, lying, newscarrying, dancing
and kindred vices. Then those
frivolous things which he called
"Form and Fashion," "Prosper and
Style" were denounced. He declared
that these same four "forms" had
crept into church worship and it was
all sinful.
Next he began a severe indictment
against those who preach, not being
called by the spirit of God, but merely
for the money and the good time to
be derived. Said that he had been
called by the spirit and had preached
the gospel daily since 1835 except for
the space of about two months. (I inquired
and learned that he had a sickness
of that duration and did not
preach then). He declared that the
uncalled who earn a living by Sunday
preaching violated the third commandment
in addition to the sin of
dispensing the gospel unworthily.
Here he quoted the entire commandment.
In conclusion he said that he would
certainly go to heaven and told his
hearers what was to be done il thev
wished to enjoy everlasting peace.
Taking it as a whole Major Perry
preached a logical sermon well worth
hearing. I think anyone would become
interested who might visit this
cabin and her what the strange man
there has to tell.

She was baptized in infancy, in

Zion's Evangelical Lutheran church,
to which she was faithful until death.
She was an earnest and faithful member,
and could say with the Psalmist,
"I was glad when they said unto us
let us go unto the house of the Lord."
And now we trust she has entered
the Zion above to him who said, "I
go to prepare a place for you." Her
