As 1 received it I record so I think I have given a correct tie count of what 1 received eacl. yi ar from each church I supplied. 1 have looked over too Church Books where I have preached, ami nscor tained the number I have baptised -ince I have been preaching. True, on two occasions there was a Inrgi cumber to baptise. At one time thei Wcie 00 catd dates to l?pllse. I a ikt another minister to go into the pool with me, brother W. 11. Boyd. Wi baptised HO persons in about thirty minute-'. The candidates came down Into the poo! two at a lime. Thoj locked arms One of us administrated on one side,the other on the other. I ><>th cuudldittes went down into tho water ti?!rethcr, m <i cumo up together. < >n another occasion then* were istv to baptise at Warrior Creek Church. 1 ttvkcd brother Knight to In lp me. lie did so. 1 count all these. I preached at Mt. Pleasant church t-aonly-five years, and baptisod 101; al Warrior (.'reek, 80 years. Baptised 174; at Chestnut Bidgo, 10 years and baptised 104; at Boaverdam, 15 years and baptised LSI; at iJetlo I, Spartan burg District, r> years and baptised 'ii: at Cedar spring. Greenville District, 3 years and baptised 125; at Standing Spring, I y nr and baptised 25: at Cedar Grove, 7 years and baptized iS5; at New Ilarmony 7. Total number baptised by me at the churches named, 1,535. I baptised seven persons at Ni Harmony, at the request of brother Ballard. I also baptised olhors, ;.? other places, of which 1 have tak< n no accou nt. I will now give you what I consider to be a call 1 received from God to lb ? ministry. I believe In a special o to the work of I he ministry, or I -hon t nevor havo undertaken it. I will uive give you my experience. I joined the church at Warrior Creek in the ye r 1820; -,va- baptised by the Rev. Henry !.' it I fob no impressions to preach for several years, until about tho year l-;i, 1 began lO have some fearful views of the condition of sinners under tin; curse of Hod's law, justly con demned, in which condition I once found myself, but frt in which I hoped I was delivered. It impressed my mind de. p'y I became uneasy and dis tr< sscd. It seemed to Ho with weight on my mind for some time, At length I felt Itke I must try to tel them of their dnegt r, and persuade them to Hoe the wrath to come,but Ishuddered and shrank from the great work. I thought surely Hod would not make choice of such a one as 1 was to preach the gospel?put up Miany excuses* prayed tu Cod to show me more plain ly, if it was my duty. 1 rend on day iho 33d chapter o*t Ezcklel, where Cod said:'Sou of man, speak- to tho el I tlron i-f thy people, and say unto them whOD I bring the sword upon *i land, If the people of tho land take a man of their coasts and set him for their watchman, if when he seeth tho -word com? upon the land lie blow the trumpet, and warn tho people, then whosoevor heareth tho sound ?( tho tri mpct an! takolh not warning, if the sword Cine and take him away his blood -hall b; upon hlu own head, lie b a d the Hiund of the trumpet and lock not waning. His bloo.l shall be upon him. Hit ho that taketh warning sti '1! deliver Ms soul.Hut if the watch man see the avord come, and blow not the trumpet, ind the people bo not warned, if tin sword come and take any person frnn among them, he is tnk' n away in his iniquity, hut his b ood will i reqilre at the watchman's hand. So thoi 0 son of man I have sei thee a watchman unto the bouso of Israel. Therefore thou shall hear tho word at my mouh and warn them from mo, when I saj unto the wicked, O wicked mail thoj shall surely die if thou dost not spctk to warn the wicked from it is way, tlat wicked man shall die !n ills iniquity, but hit blood will I require at thine land. Nevertheless, if thou warn the tlckod of his way to turn from it, if hem not turn from his way, he shall die n his Iniquity, but thou hast deliverci thy soul." These scriptures made a u*ep impression on my mind and Unter these impres sions I resolved to unke an olTort. I commenced, though i-cinbling: but my conlldonoo and trustwas in God; so 1 have been preachingabnut thirty-four years. I do not kno* what oilier men have felt, but this is/hut f havo foil. Now I will give yol some account ol a similar cireiiinstano, though a little mysterious: still I knov it did occur. I married a good wonm. she was n mcmbor ol tho ohurohwhen I married her. Ab nit a year ttfore I felt any impressions to preiiehher mind was impressed with the bought that I Would have 10 preach. It seemed to I be before bor mindconsantly,80 mueh SO it distressed her vev much. She said she could not be rconeiled to it. She thought sho could nyor bo will lllg to submit to II. 81? was SO for some timo. 1 shw there wl something the. matter, but could not til what It Wae She was not disposcd>i tell any thlng about it. Sho boottrn uneasy, and fearful sho would lose mind became very tUUOh dejected ?ml cast down In mind, rt seemed anjhing i could say gave her very little <miforl. She thought she would pray tp the Cord to give her satisfaction?ilt was His will, let it bo so, and help er to submit to it. Now mark this: she never went to school but one r\y in ! her life: therr-fore she could not rid? i ?he cou'd bare'y spoil by saying audio . 1 1 > loiters. I httv? sot down* and t;-led to learn her often) but she did not im prove any that r could see. Now, In her ?I Istro ?she had ;?. dream Shu di-i arn-.-d eh? wan In company with a special I'rti nd, . inomberof the church, with whom she was very Intimate, und it uour neighbor. In her droaui her friend asked her could -he. read. She s.:id 6ho could not wi II?
