IMH 75:2 179-180

"Chronicles of Upper Burnet" (1)

1881

Sunday, March 6th.

I took the rather foolish course to-day (considering what
would probably happen tomorrow) of going to Mt Olive
M[ethodist] E[piscopal] Church afoot. Mr. Jonathan Laurence
held forth and the Spirit moved him to hold a short prayer­
meeting, preach a short disconnected and rather laughable
sermon and then hold a prayer meeting besides. I spent the
time till night at Madison Hinson's and went with him to
prayer-meeting at night "Brer Jonathan" was there and inter­
jected a short sermon. Sam Woods(70)came near causing trouble
between himself and Will Bain by some very personal remarks
which he made while giving in his "sperience" which remarks
Will thought were directed at himself. I got home about ten
o'clock. The day was cloudy from sunrise to sunset. Nothing of
any importance transpired while I was gone I believe.
