Excerpt from Minutes of the Fifty-Third Session of the Baptist State Convention, of South Carolina: Held With the Columbia Baptist Church, November 27-30, 1873 The work at Mt.

The following is a statistical account of Brother Gregory's labors at Mt. Pleasant: Sermons preached, 226; out stations supplied, 5; prayer meet ings attended, 117; persons and families visited, 700; baptized, 13. In his work as an evangelist, he has visited 11 Churches, preached 35 sermons, made 44 religious visits, baptized 8, received 9 for baptism; and at Mt. Pleasant and other places has distributed 211 Bibles and Testaments. Salary from the Ex contive Board. $100. The Board determined at their first meeting to assist in sustaining Brother R. N. Pratt at Abbeville Court House. It will be remembered that a small Church was organized at Abbeville a few years ago, under the patronage of the Abbeville Association. It was wisely determined to build a suitable meeting house, and for the past year the enterprise has been in progress. The walls are up, and enough has been subscribed by reliable persons to cover the building. Will be needed to complete the building according to the original plan. Brother Pratt writes.
