The Lord’s day was a high day in Zion. We had four sermons. The first from Learner Blackman on Judges iii, 20, “I have a message from God unto thee.” It was a message of light and truth and power. At noon Bishop M’Kendree preached on a favorite subject, Prov. i, 23, “Turn you at my reproof,” etc. At three William Burke on 1 John i, 9, “If we confess our sins,” etc. A mighty preacher was William Burke in his palmy days. He wielded a tremendous power in the pulpit, and in the conference he was then the master-spirit. In the evening Caleb W. Cloud preached from the same text I had taken the evening before. This was a day of feasting for my soul and many others. On Monday James Quinn preached at noon from Heb. xxiv, 26 on Moses’s choice and Moses’s reward. A wonderful man was James Quinn when he got the baptism of power. I wrote, “The Lord is with us both in the conference and the congregation.” On Tuesday at noon Bishop Asbury preached an ordination sermon from Titus ii, 7, 8, “In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works.” It was a most impressive discourse, and was owned of God. At noon on Wednesday Bishop M’Kendree preached on faith, hope, and charity. Our souls were richly fed with celestial manna. At night Daniel Hitt, the book agent, preached on “Pray for us, that the word of God may have free course,” etc. On Thursday I preached at noon from Matt. v, 20; on Friday William Burke preached from Isaiah xl, 1, “Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God;” a sermon full of consolation. James Quinn preached at night. On Saturday Samuel Parker preached at noon from 1 John i, 3, “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you,” etc. This was an eloquent discourse, delivered in the sweetest spirit, making a powerful impression. He presented some fine thoughts on our union with the Father and the Son, and that all the divine attributes are engaged for our good; also the blessed effects of fellowship with the people of God. On Sunday, the 8th, Bishop Asbury preached in the morning at nine, Learner Blackman in the afternoon at three, and Samuel Parker in the evening. The sermons were all good, but Samuel Parker’s excelled. His text was Phil. iii, 10, “That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” Over fifty years have passed away since I heard him, and yet the image of the eloquent Parker is before me, and I remember with what overwhelming pathos he dwelt on the “fellowship of his sufferings.” The word ran through the audience like electricity, tears flowed, and shouts were heard. It was a most appropriate sermon for the last before the conference adjourned. It prepared the ministers for the work of suffering with their Lord if they would reign with him.
