and two others by Elder Green Carrowan,
who took the pastoral care of said church.
Brother Potter had his ups and., downs
vvith the church until Saturday before tho
3d Sunday in Sept. 1S43 (Elder George
W. Carrowan removed his pastoral care of
the church at or about tins time,) and feel
ing himself called to the work of the min
istry, he straitway commenced in the
work (though quite limited at first.) lie
preached not himself, but Christ Jesus and
him crucified; and grew in the spirit and
continued exercising until Saturday befo ro
th e 3d Lord's day, in December, 1846,
when he applied to the conference for lib
erty to preach the gospel of Christ, and
contend for the faith once delivered to
the saints, which was granted, and his
doctrine was highly esteemed. And on
Saturday before the 3d Sunday in March,
1S4S, the church agreed to set apart tho
Saturday before the 3rd Sunday, in Juno
of the same year for the purpose of his or
dination; but it not being the Lord's time,
we were not able to get ministers together
for the purpose of oidination. His minis
try was highly approved by his brethren
where he was known; previous to his call
to the ministry, he was chosen hy his
church to the office of deacon, which high
station he filled with honor to himself and
satisfaction to his brethren, and purchased
to himself a good degree and great bold
nesaTin the faith which is in Christ Jesus,
lie was opposed to the schemes of the day,
and in his short ministry he exposed erroC
with all the power the Lord gave him. ,
Bro. Potter was married twice, and at
the time of his death he had no wife to
inourn his loss; but left seven children;
to lament his death, five sons and two
daughters, and two of them quite small.
For several years before His death he was
afilicted with St. Anthony's fire in his leg
and ancle, also with sick head ache; but

family Where he resided. Yel finding
himself no belter, he resolved to return to
his native State and court y, which he ac
cordingly ditf in the fall amongst his
relations and friends, still believing that
he could work himself into the favor of
God by the law; but finding that by the
deeds of the law no flesh could be justi
net! before God, he gave up all for loss,
till sometime in the year 1823. when the
Lord applied these words to his mind,
"ni grace is sufficient for thee;" which
he believed to be the very voice of God.
It came, with such power, that it relieved
him of his trouble and made him able to
cry out and say, that it is through grace,
by faith are ye saved and that not of our
selves, it is the gift of God. He united
himself with the old predestinarian church
at Goose Creek, at the time of her consti
tution, on the 20th Sept. J823, and was
"baptised the day "following with his wife
Thy weary warfare here;
Arrived at Jesus' feet at last
And ended all thy care.
No more shall sickness break thy rest
Nor pain create thy smart;
No more shall doubts disturb thy rest,
Nor sin afflict thine heart.
No more the world on thee shall frown";
No longer satan roar; t
Thy man of sin is broken down,
And shall torment no more
Adieu! vain world, the spirit cries,
My tears are wiped away;
For Jesus fills my cup with joys, r
And fills it every day,
, r.
Blessed are the dead hat die in the
Lord for henceforth, yea sayeth the Spin',
for they rest from their labors and their
works do follow them
