I transcribed these during a March visit to the South Carolina Conference's archives at Wofford College in Spartanburg. June 9, 1892 page 5 "Berry.We had a short but pleasant call from Rev. B.O. Berry on Monday. He is visiting relatives and friends in this county, and expects to return to his charge in Pickens in a few days.Pee Dee Index." > "Walhalla, Westminster, Easley, Fountain Inn, Townville, Pendleton.I send a few further notes of our field. May 7th, I visited Walhalla and found the pastor in favor with his charge and hard at work. Everything promises a successful year. A week later I had the pleasure of staying in the Westminster circuit parsonage. It is comfortable and cosy. The circuit showed an advance on last year. The next week we had a delightful Conference at Antioch, on Easley circuit. Two joined and all had a good time. The pastor had held fine meetings at Easley and Ruhamah. The Stewards made a good showing. The only trouble here is that the pastor will work too hard--beyond his strength. The workman should not be slack, but ought not to overtax himself. Leaving Antioch I went and helped in a meeting at Fountain Inn for a few days. Good has already been done and the meeting is still in progress. The new parsonage will be ready by June 15, and the new church has been ceiled and will have seats at once. Townville comes next. She did not lead the circuit on collections this time, but passed last year's records. Pastor Wright has been sick, but keeps the work going. Pendleton was our last point. She is moving forward as has been her custom. One good meeting has been held. A prosperous year seems certain. The next Conference will be held at Sandy Spring camp meeting, which begins Monday night, September 12th, and closes Saturday morning, September 17th. We want the editor of our Advocate with us. Please come. All want you. John O. Willson. June 6, 1892." __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
