W. .NNaOaR - "T . ..fy.s e n P. m. DRios * , Editor Friday, November 80,,-: - : -1868 ihop John Chrlistlan Keener, D. D., Who presides over the delibera tions of our Confeienctliif ar, was born in Baltimore, Md., Feb ruary 7, 1819. Ho graduated at the Wesleyan University',Middle town, Conieotiont, in 1885. He was converted in Wesley Chapel, Bltimore, .Februitry $, 16888 In 1.843 he was adiitted on 'triil in the .Alabama Conference, and sent as junior preaclir with Di'. Lovick Pierce to the Franklin Street Methodist Church; in thp city of Mobile. After' filling aypoint ients in Demopolis, Tuskalbosa and Montgomery, Ala., he . was transferred inj$48 .to Lotiisiana Conference, and stationed in New Orleans. From '1859 -'to 1866, with the exceptioii of a fo*,.years, he served the New. Orleans Dis triot as Presiding Elder, some times exercising that office 'in con nection with the pastorate of one of the city churches. From 1866 until his election to the episcopa cy, in 1870, he was Presiding El der and editor of the New Orleans Christian Advocate. This is -the third time that Bishop Keener has presided over the South Carolina Colifer'dnce, so he needs no introduction to our clerical readers. He makes an admirable presiding officer, and has rare administrative ability. His varied and extended experi ence in n6arly' every: department of Church w,rk, from the duties of the junior preacher to those of Presiding Elder and editor, cmi nently qualifies him for thd dis: charge of the delicate and respon sible duties of the episcopacy. As'a.preacher, the Bishop takos high rank. His sermons are quite above the average, and aie char acterized.by 'a clearness of state-. mont, a.logicil force and a spir itual power that seldom fail to carry conviction to the mind and heart of every hearer. A sermon which he preached before- the Mississippi Conference, shortly before ins elevation to the episco pacy, gie, him a connectional repuation us -a. preacher" of 1rare force and power. The echoes from that remarkable discourse have not yet died- away in the Mississippi v'alley. Buit Bishop * ~ Keener can hardly be conisidered a popular preacher, as hat 'term is usually understood. Ho is more and' better 'than 'that.. His aimi in the,pulpit is to 'convince the judgm~ent and' move the will. rather than pleas'e the fancy by ~ the show and tinsel of mere ora tory. 'With thoughtfiA h#arrs those who appreciate strength more than polish, who seek in struction rather than entertain ment, 'Bisliop Keenei" vill hirays be a favorite. Not that' lifq per moos lack polish or fail to enter talU ; fore few preachers hav9 a ~style more chaste, or a' delivery. unaffected and sincere. But tlieso qualities, are prnoperly 'made 'to take a s6cond p ace in the prea'dh er's equipment for' the wvpi of .the pulpit.' Our, readers nieod nuot be told of Bishop Keener's gifts as ai 'yriter. * His .contributions to this papr during the presoent year are' suffi ceont alone to establish his. repu tation as a writer of grace, force and ability. One of those articles --describmng theo Flood and the incidents connectell therewith-is one of the finest pieces of Fang lish composition that it has, ever been our good 'fortuAne to road. It is an open secret, we 'believe, that the Bishop sometimes courts the:Muses. and is no moan writer 1~ ~ ~ [ . .!1 I 1'! e hat not aUowed ahe public.to ' udge of his; "ft8 in this direotion. When .Ti 'Avp4A,O'F begins. t. publication of original poet y, it hopes to h' the honor of fntrd ducing Bishop Xeener to the world as a poet as well as a mas ter of English .prose. '-in- the-"'sociala -ircr" Bishop1 Keener is. the cultivated Chris ti n ggtlelpfi %Witli ay popn. versational powers, a cultivated and weil stored, min4, and pleas. ant and agreeable manners, he knows well both how to erItertaii and instiuct. And ith ali, and above all, his spirit is that of. a meek and. lpwly diseip'o I his Lord. His coiversation is enliv ened by ivit', seAsnned by ;good sense, and sanctified by the spirit of true dedotion to the, cause of the Master. The Soutii Carolina Confereiice exteoics a hearty welcpme to ~our. b'eloved Chief Pa'tor opthis thiril official visit to us. -Ie stirrod some of us up considerably on his first visit, and left a few in.doubt as t'his proper place in their af fections. Ho grew wonderfully in our esterm and regard when ]le aame among us the second 'tine. W? trust his third visit will "bo bhie best of all, ai}d will secure for him a permanent place in the af fections of every member of the Confbronco. . We hope his presi alency on this occasion will bo as plesant' to him as it 'will. doubt less be satisfactory and profitable to xis, and that the good Bishop will carry home. .with him none but the most agreeable. recollec ions-of the South Oaiolina Con rerence.-Chr 8jtian Advocate.
