Book Description

Excerpt from The Circuit Rider's Sketch Book Dear Brother John Kilgo: It has been a decade and two years since you have met with your brethren in this State as a member of the South Carolina Conference. Many then who did delight to meet and greet you have gone from us, and have been transferred forever. It might afford you a melancholy pleasure to have the long sad roll recalled, and have brought to mind the lofty characters and noble bearings of the fallen braves who it seems but yesterday talked and walked among us. But such is life. We are here to act our parts on the world's stage of action in the drama of life with its sunshine and shadows for a while, then the final act is played, and the closing scene - and we make exit forever. Let us hastily review the list and call the roll of those who were hearty and happy just twelve years ago, but upon whose graves today the autumn leaves are silently falling. First, R. N. Wells, who died in his prime. How easily his face and suavity of manner can be recalled. Franks, Seale, Laird, Pritchard, Jno. A. Mood - all elderly men who died in the faith.
