March 2 June 20 October 12 March 30 July 18 November 9 April 25 August 15 December 7 May 23 September 12 The following is a story told by the Bishop of Tennessee at the r¢ Church Congress, as showing the education of a plantation preacher. He said : — I "was visiting a plantation, and the bell was rung, and the negroes, numbering some 500, gathered in the parlors and piazza of the hous3, belonging, unfortunately for himself, to a bachelor. After reading a chapter to them, I preached, and said I would hold a service the next day to baptize such as should be presented. I baptized between seventy and eighty, and, after a service, I fell into conversation with ' Uncle Toney,' a plantation preacher. I asked him about various Christian doctrines, finally saiJ, and what about the resurrection?' With a very solemn face be replied, " You see, master, intment isintrnent." "Yes." " Well, you see dere is a speritual body, an dis here body made out of dus." * Yes." " Well, you see, when de angel Gabriel comes down from heaben, and goin' up and down de riber Jordan a-blowin' of his trumpet, and de birds of heaben singin', and de bells of heaben ringin', and de milk and de honey ranen down on all de hills of heaben, he will bring the speritual ■vrid him down from heaben, and take dis here body up out of the dus', and tak' de intment and rub'it on, den stick togedder — and dar dey is."
