ing his studies in rapid strides, the
Lord stepped in and took his father
away, leaving the weight of a mother
and two sisters to fall upon his shoul-

In December, 1892. Rev. McGinnis
went before the annual conference of
the Methodist church south. and was
admitted to 1t. He was ordained by
Bishop Vincent and was sent to Con-
way. S. c.. staying there two years.
He was then sent to Winyah. S. c..
where he also stayed two years. All
his relatives at that time were A NJ.
Es, but he remained with the NJ. E.
church because he thought that he
should give 1t some OF his labor, as
he had neither money nor friends
elsewhere.
Rev. McGinnis is now going before
the Colorado conference of the A. NJ.
r. church for admission. this being
:he church of his forefathers and also
now his own. So he now commends
himself to God that he may be found
worth to lead Hts flock unto green
pastures and beside still waters.
Trusting that all will pray for Linn.
he is yours for Christ and the Gospel
