composed by Mr. Don Loring. This
song which is published by the H.

of sentimentality running through it
and will no doubt prove very popular.

Bro. W. D. McMillan on Dec. 26., He
died on Christmas morning. The old
man has been laid aside by his churches
for several years, and wisely for hhn
too, for he was eighty-two years old.
He was a pathetic figure as he wander
ed around in and out aihong his flow
ers. He used to wear an old coat that
he often preached in' He had but one
other, ahd'that he saved for his burial.
I have often wished that the Baptists
of the State could have seen that coat,
frayed at the edges, faded and spotted,
till its original color was a guess, while
the men whom he gave his life whizzed
by in motor cars. I am glad the old
man has a new coatnow.”
Williston, Dec. 21L
Tomorrow—Dec. 30—I would have
matteda check to Brother McMillan for
thirty doltars. Thirty-three Cents a
day was about what he had to liye on.
May be that was why he did not buy
another coat.
I have known Brother McMillan from
my boyhood. He used to be in my fa
ther’s house when I was an urchnr
about the hearth. He was never a
great preacher, but he preached the
gospel faithfully, and there is scarcely
a church in the Barnwell Association
in which he was not pleasantly known.
The second time I evfer preached was
at old Double Ponds church, between
Barnwell and Biackville. I had not
been known in those parts as a relig
ious youth, by any means. It was al
most another ca;e of Saul returning to
Jerusalem: “All were afraid o£ him,
not believing he was a disciple.” Old
Parson Brooker, then grown old, the
man with the goatee and a peculiar
snap action of the chin that threw the
goatee around amazingly—he was the
pastor. My father and I had ridden out
from Barnwell in a buggy. He too, like
Parson Brooker, was coming down to
the end, and was nearly ninety years
old:'-He had come along to hear his boy
preach. He had heard me but once,
the Sunday before in Ljnsay’s pulpjt at
Barnwell. I don’t think the old man
had really yet come to believe fully
that his boy was a preacher. I hath
come so nigh to breaking his heart that
J«Jth.^tagger.ed,even whenhelped along
by sight. It was a summer day, a day
in July, 1872. My text was Acts 1:14—
“These all continued with one accord
in prayer.” Doubtless the text and the
sermon were not connected in any way;
but that made no difference. Parson
Brooker and Brother McMillan sat in
the pulpit behind me, on a little Wooden
bench that was fastened to the wall.
In the midst of my sermon, a little baby
got away from its mother and came
crawling down the aisle. By and by,
the mother came after the little one,
reached up on the book board and took
a tumbler of water and held it ,to- the
baby’s mouth. Then she went away
and the baby too. »■
What I had to say that July day, I do
not know. I know I looked around
once or twice, and Brooker and McMiF
lan were both in tears. I don’t know
to this day what they wept about. May
be it was just the sight of me. and the
thought of my'old father whom every
one loved, and who wasfleitting not far
away, with a radiant glow of happiness
on his wrinkled face. The custom in
those times was for some one to “follow
the preacher—that is, to add a few
words after the regular sermon was
over. This duty fell to Brother McMil
lan that day. I don’t recall now what
he said. He always had a brassy, nasal
tone. I remember that. I had an aged
half-sister who lived not so far away.
My father took her home in his buggy,
and I rode in a little spring wagon with
her son. His name was Taylor. He,
too, has gone back to-dust now. He
a good fellow and I always loved
him. On the way home, while the wag
on was moving slowly along through
the pines, Taylor turned to me, and
said, “Ptl tell you, Clint, I was power,
ful glad to hear you preach today. It
makes me see things differently. I’m
though, that Brother
balm-breathing gardens of God. Noth
ing is left to me but to try to find softie
other good old fellow who needs help,
some man who has worked all his life
for nothing. This new found one will
be added to the, others who are on my
books. I know him right now, and have
marked his failing health and weaken
ing vigor. It will be but a few weeks
before Brother McMillan will have a sub
stitute to take his place. May this new
man walk to his grave with the consum
mate dignity that characterized him
who is just dead. I don’t know how all
you folks who are helping me feel when
you reflect upon this work, but I want
,to tell you that to me it continually
brings a reward that cannot be written
down in figures that follow after a dollar
mark. , - • ’
