breaches IN SLEEP
SOUTH CAROLINA UOLORED MAN A
SOCIOLOGICAL MARVEL.
Iliterate MuIatto Delivers Logical and
Forcsful Discourses While Apparently
Sound Aslssp-Imposslbls to Awaken
Him.

Major Perry is an illiterate mulatto,
forty-five years old, living in Salinda
county. S. C. When a young man he
says he felt call to preach, but dis
regarded it. He seldom goes to church
and is not religiously inclined. About
ten years ago, his wife says, Perry
began to preach in his sleep. Sermons
became more frequent, until he now
breaches five or six times week. He
goes to bed about s o'clock, and with
in an hour begins to preach. He first
announces his text, chapter and verse
in the Bible correctly, after which ne
reads the text, always just as it is in
the book. He then lines" out and
sings hymn and prays, after which
the sermon begins. Perrys sermons
are declared by white men who have
heard him to be better than the av-
erage negro preacher. He is gramma-
tical and logical and he talks from for
ty-five minutes to one hour in deliver
ing discourse.
Sometimes in the delivery of the SER

tally of the arms and neck contract.
producing a cateleptic condition. This
stops the sermon. The attack lasts a
minute or two, and is usually driven
away by his wife, who rubs the mus
cles. When the tendency to catalepsy
is gone he resumes his discourse, be-
ginning exactly where he left off, even
though he was in the middle of SEN
tence.
At certain time each summer Perry
holds protracted services, sometimes
getting pretty loud" characteristic
of his race. At these special times he
delivers two sermons and invites
mourners to come up to the altar He
takes short recess between these ser
mons.
Perry cannot be convinced that he
breaches in his sleep. The best class
of white citizens visit his house in
the evening and physicians have vain
ly endeavored to awaken him while in
his abnormal state. They have pierced
his muscles with needles, and even
burned cotton between his toes, but
without success. The burns cause
great pain when he regains conscious
ness and he is easily awakened after
ending his sermon.
During the time Perry is preaching
it is an impossibility to stop him. He
has on several occasions gone to
church, fallen into a sleep or trance
and interrupted the service by begin
ming to preach, forcing the preacher in
the pulpit to desist.
People who know most about the
negro declare him a psychological mar
vel and deserving of scientific inves-
tigation. The negroes are divided in
their views. Some think Perry is be-
ing punished for not obeying the cali
to preach when young; others that his
power comes from the evil one, and
that he has been "conjured." Others
think he is a fakir and is really
awake all the time he breaches and
only feigns to be asleep.
