The next morning, Thursday, the 4th, I got across the river and found, on driving up to Hartford, that Mr. Wirgman had taken advantage of an early stray boat, of which I knew nothing. and had gone on to Ravenswood. twenty-five miles up the river. I found no other opportunity during the day, and as 1 was obliged to be home on Friday, to be ready to start away again on Saturday, I returned to Pomeroy in the early afternoon, and took the train for Parkersburg. reach- ing home about half-past two on Friday morning, after a delay of five hours in the depot at MacArthur Junction. The trip may thus be summed up: I was away from home about thirty-six hours, of which at least thirty-two were spent in Ohio, going and coming and waiting at the depots for delayed trains ; I missed both of my appointments and invested about ten dollars in the trip. I paid several visits and gained some experience, and now I wish more earnestly than ever that

September 10th, 1886.
* *
At Shaw I preached in a little school house; confirmed three persons. Mr. Gibbons had previously baptized six persons and one adult. Our visit had been announced some two weeks previously, and the children of the Sunday-school were es- pecially interested. One little girl said to Mr. Woodward, "You ought not to have told me so long before: it will seem so long to wait." I noticed a marked difference in the re- sponses since my last visit.
At Davis I preached in a large engine-house, to a full and attentive congregation. * * * *
It is only right to say that we took advantage of our short stay in Davis to visit the Falls of the Blackwater and the Dobbiu House, which was for so many years the headquar- ters of the hunters and fishers. The Falls far exceeded our expectations. The half was not told us. The path by which you reach them is itself a curiosity. For about two miles it leads you by the river bank, with a dense forest on one side, filled with the fallen and moss-covered trunks of giant trees, and grown-up so thickly with laurel and other undergrowth as to be, in most places, literally impassible, and on the other side the dark, richly-colored waters of the river, dashing over the rocks and constantly suggestive to those who handle the rod and reel. The path itself is ludicrously rough and intri- cate, only less impassible than the thicket. Over a net-work of laurel and other mighty roots, the debris of ages has fallen and offers for your tread a substance very like a sponge in its softness and capacity to hold the water. Between the roots and the rocks you can run your cane down indefinitely. and sometimes a careless step will cause you to realize that you yourself are liable to go down like the cane. On this walk, just before we reached the Falls, I heard an exclama-
849

tion, and, looking around, saw Mr. Gibbons pulling away at Mr. Pearson to extricate him from one of these treacherous holes. The sheer fall of the water is sixty-three feet, and that amid the wildest surroundings. In the unbroken soli- tude of the virgin forest, and under the towering crests of the mountains, it is, next to Niagara, by far the most impres- sive thing of the kind I have ever seen.
The Dobbin House boasts of a clearing of about thirty acres,-the only one in all this country. The house is dilapi- dated, and is occupied by a miner's family, who treated us very courteously. The bears come almost daily to within a. few yards of the house, after blackberries, which grow plen- tifully. We went through the patches, which they had tram- pled down, and enjoyed what they had considerately spared. If Mr. Pearson were writing this article, he would no doubt tell of an encounter which Mr. Gibbons had with a bear in this place several years ago. The meeting was very unex- pected at a distance from the house not more than fifty yards, and was, I understand, a great surprise to both parties. I am informed that, since the memorable evening, Mr. Gib- bons has not been able thoroughly to enjoy even the tame travelling bears that one sometimes meets in the country which amuse the by-standers by performing an awkward dance at the command of their master. *
Our visit to Sutton was particularly encouraging. Three persons were confirmed, which gives us nine communicants, where a few years ago we had but two. One of our congrega- tion walks nine miles to service, and then has to walk back again. His wife was to have been confirmed, and his little girl baptized, but he was unable to procure any means of conveyance for them. We trust that the service was profita- ble to this zealous Churchman; he certainly showed the live- liest interest in all that was said and done, and, even if he himself did not receive much good, yet he did good to two people at least; that is, to the Bishop and Dr. Lacy. I am sure both of them felt the stimulus of such an example, and
850

are both of them more than ever determined to carry on the work they have in hand.
December 15th. 1886. *
In regard to all such (mission) work, and especially that which the children are prompted to do, the old saying re- mains true that, where there is a will, there is a way I was talking to a Sunday-school teacher the other day in a certain place, and she was telling me how the children exerted them- selves to make money to keep up their missionary offerings. She said that a few days before, when the question was raised in the class as to how the pennies were raised for such objects, one little boy spoke up and said. "I make my pennies by taking castor oil." This was sufficiently amusing, but the elimax was reached when another little boy, sitting by, said. "I expect it does him as much good as it does the Heathen." So true it is that what we do for others helps our own selves.
December, 1887.
I have during the past summer and early fall completed iny round of all the counties in the State-fifty-four in num- ber. I regret to say that in twenty-three counties we have no organization of any kind. In visiting two counties, Clay and Nicholas, for the first time last August. I had one of the most pleasant rides I have yet taken in the State. Af- ter preaching at Ansted on Monday, August 22, I rode on horseback to Clay Court House, the following day. The dis- tance was about forty miles but I was well mounted and thoroughly enjoyed the ride along by the famous Hawk's Nest and then up the beautiful Gauley. In July. 1861, the bridge over the Gauley, just where it joins the New river to make the Kanawha, was burned by the retreating Confed- prate forces. It has never been rebuilt and the disintegrat- ing piers still stand, a memorial of the desolations of war.
When I arrived at Clay Court House, I found that my horse had cast a shoe, and as I had a long rough ride for the next day. I was somewhat depressed on learning that
851
IN WEST VIRGINIA.
the only blacksmith in the little town had gone away on a visit, and would not return until Saturday. Now I have shod my own horse on an emergency, but I do not profess to be an adept in the art. so I determined to throw myself for this service on the generosity of the people. Accordingly, after service, in which by means of our mission books we had good responses, I stated briefly to the assembled con- gregation my situation; told them that they knew I could not make the rough mountain ride of thirty-five miles over to Nicholas Court House, where I was due the next evening unless my horse was shod, and therefore, appealed to them for help, and asked that if there were any present who had any skill in the useful art of the blacksmith, they would re- main after the congregation was dismissed and confer with me on the subject. It was a novel, but most successful ex- perience meeting. I secured the services of a stalwart young man who did the work for me the next morning in the most satisfactory manner, and I went on my way rejoicing.
August, 1890. *
From Berkeley Springs I went on Monday to Okonoko. Here at half past three on a warm summer afternoon 1 preached to a good congregation in Epiphany Church and confirmed one. Mr. Gibbons baptized a little child about one year old. The mother had brought him in her arms five or six miles, walking every step of the way. Certainly this showed such an earnest spirit on her part that we cannot but hope for a rich blessing on her and her little child.
September, 28, 1894.
Although many miles of railroad have been built in West Virginia, in the last sixteen years, yet it is still necessary to make long trips on our country and mountain roads in order to reach the various points where our services are established. The visits I describe in this letter have been made mostly to such points, the distance from the railroad varying from 10 to 70 miles and involving altogether about
852
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
400 miles of such travel, besides 1,900 miles of railroading just thrown in for good measure. The time included is from Saturday, September 1st, to Wednesday, September 26th. About twenty services were held and twenty persons con- firmed.
December 6th, 1897. *
On Saturday, November 13, I left Parkersburg about 10 A. M., and after dining in Huntington, 120 miles on my way, I went on to Charleston, about 60 miles, where I was the guest of Mr. W. S. Laidley. I had visits that evening from the Rector, the Rev. Dr. Roller, and also from Rev. Mr. Card, who has charge of two missions in the neighborhood, comprising eight preaching points.
Sunday morning was raw and rainy, although about mid- day the clouds lifted and the day became pleasant. About 9 A. M., I started off for my first appointment, St. Peter's. This is one of Mr. Card's missions. A young man called for me in a light open carriage and besides myself there were two others, who belonged, as I found out, to the confirma- tion class. After a ride of eight miles we reached the school house where I preached and confirmed 11. Mr. Card told me afterwards that there were several others who were pre- vented by various causes from being present. He instanced specially the case of two girls who wanted to be confirmed, but could not on account of the opposition of their father. When they pressed him for his reason, he told them that the Episcopals seemed to be increasing so fast in the county that he was afraid that they would after a while get to be the majority and then they would kill all the other people. This is a suggestion as to church extension which was en- tirely new to me. When we adopt it, due notice will be given.
After dining near St. Peter's, which is the name of the mission only, as we have no church building, some thirteen persons, including Mr. and Mrs. Card and myself, our host, Mr. Hayes and his son, got on a hand car, and propelled our-
853
IN WEST VIRGINIA.
selves np the Davis Creek railroad, about ten miles, and then after walking a mile and a half up a very steep grade and a high hill, we came to the Black Band school house where I preached and confirmed four. Some of the congre- gation and one of the candidates had come over the moun- tains from Hernshaw, another one of Mr. Card's stations. about four miles distant. Besides the party of thirteen on the handcar-and a crowded car it was-Mr. John Howe Peyton, the most indefatigable right hand man of the whole work, took two others with him on a railroad velocipede up from St. Peter's to Black Band. The difficulties of such navi- gation may be conceived, when I say that his machine ran off the track eight times in the ten miles, however, the trip was made successfully.
Then came the trip back after service, in which all we had to do was to let the machine run and keep it from run- ning too fast. I was met by a friend with a buggy about six miles down the railroad and went across the hills about three miles to Mr. Peyton's, where I took tea, and then went on a mile farther to St. Matthew's. Mr. Peyton had pre- ceded me and held the congregation by commencing the ser- vices. A drive of several miles after service brought me back to Mr. Laidley's hospitable home at 10 P. M.
From Letter to the Children of the Diocese.
January 1, 1592.
Some time ago I was visiting a vacant Parish and spoke to the people as earnestly as I could, urging them to raise $250 more than they had been paying for the salary. One of our vestrymen was kept home by sickness, but his son, a boy of twelve, was present. When he got back home, his father asked him, "Son, were you in church, and was the Bishop there, and what did he say?" "Yes, father," was the boy's reply, "I was in church and heard the Bishop: and. father, the Bishop said they must raise the price of preach- ing down here $250.00."
Now, ever since I heard this, I have been wanting to see
854
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH
that boy and thank him for giving such a strong and clear account of what I said; I feel sure he must be a very sensi- ble boy who knows what is the main point in a speech when he hears it. I can only hope that the grown people who were present at that service had an equally clear idea of what I was driving at. Now, my dear children, all you who have during Advent, been giving to our Diocesan Missions, have been helping to "raise the price of preaching" in the Diocese, and it is a good work.
