Charlotte Methodist appoint men! h were lltou in the South Carolina con foresee. Tho Methodists were wor uhlpping in a Hinuli wooden utructur in a ronioto section of tho town; and ho succeeded in purchasing an extotiHlvo and valuable lot on Tryon street. Upon it was a rosldonce which became the parsonage, and wat* near Clio portion devoted to tho church building. A design' for a massive brick edifice was drawn by tho young pastor, E. J. Meynardio, from an old English church; tho stately towor much resembled those in WoHtmlnHtor Abbey ? this, unfor tunately, has boon superseded by a splro. 1 1 y diligent efforts he fi nanced the enterprise; every Satur day evening he had collected money to pay tho carpenters, etc. The noble work continued until the building wan up and covered. Then, Ills time expiring, he wuh sent to Camden, S. C., whore ho served until leaving ns chaplain for the late Oon. Kershaw's regiment. Ho wan said to bo tho first chaplain appoint ed in tho Confederate army. Tho third year after tho cIobo of the war he was returned to Tryon Street Methodist Church, which was completed. Upon it rested a debt which he lifted by going north and soliciting fund# 'or U?v purpose. 110 ill tin bought I ho flint pipe organ tho church owned. It now posueHses a magnificent ono.

When he, was returned -to Cam^ deu Lhu uucond- time ho remarked that Clod had sent him there to die, and though1 - Mr*. Sal lie F.
