He also ^ did some preaching in North Car olina. At some of the above named places he preached acceptably for a number of years. In fact the Lancaster Baptist church i. grew directly out of the results of preaching which ho did just a litI tie northeast of that place and I the Camp Creek church also was ? partially the fruits of his labors. i? lie was ono of the presbytery to * the organization of the Lancaster ^ church and held the honor at. that ? time of being its originator.

I J | He had the courage of his con vie;ions in his preaching, and. while a loyal Baptist, he was liberal minded toward other denoiniiu.tions. He was tender and 'pathetic in his preaching. When 1 1 was a hoy I remember so well lot sitting in the old church looking up into his face as lie spoke the tender words that made the old mothers in Zion love him so. And the tears never in my recollection failed to rise in his eyes and llow down his fuco when so tenderly hut powerfully preaching. Some of his favorite hymns were U1 love Thy Kingdom Lord", "Must Jesus Boar the Cross Alone", Jerusalem my Happy to Home", "llow Firm a Foundation", etc. Some of hiu favorite u'.\is wore i e are me salt oi tlio earth", ''The (iood Shepherd is r shorn of !iis sheep", "Come unto h.
