BISHOP CAPERS —II.
More about Bishop Capers! Yes, gentle
reader, more , infinitely More there is, than
it would be wise in me to attempt to write,
or in y >u to read.
Were you ever in love? “Well, ahem,
y-e-s.” you reluctantly answer. That is
enough for me. I will forego the pleasure
of any impertinent curiosity on that point,
after I have asked you a single question. —
Did you ever grow weary of talking to, or
in speaking of the object of your affection ?
There, you need not answer the question.
I can anticipate what the answer will be. —
Well, I am in love with the character, the
qualities, and even the peculiarities, of my
Bishop, and I never grow wetry of contem
plating or describing them.
And now, as I must crowd together, for
brevity’s sake, all I have to say about him,
in the compass of a single paper, I will take
you back in memory to the camp meeting at
Mount Pleasant, in the summer of 1835.
At that time he was President pro tern of
the South Carolina College, Columbia, and
in the prime and vigor of manhood, and I
may also say, at the summit of his reputation
as a pulpit orator. He had then a Europe
an, as well as an American reputation, which
any man might envy. I need scarcely say,
that in my eye he stood forth almost a de
migod. Naturally timid and awkward my
self, I felt completely awed by the presence
of such a man, and incapacitated for doing
well anything, which I might be called to
perform under his observation. A little
circumstance occurred which made a most
painful and indelible impression on my
already too sensitive and seifdistrusting na
ture.
Someone had presented the Doctor with
a complete “shaving case,” containing ra
zors and all other etceteras of such an insti
tution. Among other things there was a
convenient little glass, which was handed
round to be looked at and admired by the
preachers and others present. When it
came to my turn I seized it with a rather
eager and awkward curiosity, when lo ! hor
ror of horors, smash , it went into a dozen
pieces in my band. I cast a timid glance
at his face, the blood mounted into my own,
and I feit that I was ruined in his estiraa*
tion forever. A kind of superstitious feel
ing at once coupled itself with the occur
rence. I regarded it as an ill omen, and
felt sure that I should always be an object
of dislike to him. This operated on my
miud for years, and what was to him a slight
inoonvenience, and was no doubt forgotten
in a week, was to me a source of painful
recollection for a long time afterward.—
Gentle reader, you laugh at such an exhi
bition of weakness and folly, and you laugh
wisely and justly; but did you never in*
dulge in a superstitious vein ? Has no pre
sentiment of coming ill ever afflicted you ?
Have no dark shadows of coming events
ever enveloped and clouded your under
standing, or rested like a heavy weight on
your saddened heart? If not, then you
are either more or less than a man. But let
me tell you now how I was cured of this
bugbear of my own imagination. Ten years
after this incident, I went to the Conference
under the shadow of a real affliction.
Jt had pleased Almighty God to deprive
me of the companionship of an affectionate
wife, the sharer of my early joys and sor
rows. I had determined to seek forgetful
ness of the past in the excitement of new
scenes and an entirely new field of labor.—
Florida and its Conference were to be my
future home. How Dr. Capers found out
my intention is a matter of no consequence.
That he should have felt the slightest inter
est in the awkward, ungainly boy who had
broken his looking-glass, did not enter my
head. How much surprised I was you may
Imagine, when, one day during the session
of the Conference, and in Conference hours,
he took me aside, and after having told me
that he had heard of my intention to ask
for a transfer, he addressed me in his sweet
est and blandest tones, saying: “My dear
brother, do not think of any such thing.
Don’t go. We want you in the South Caro
lina Conference. Remain where you are.”
The nightmare which oppressed me was
dissolved. The ill omen was forgotten, and
from that hour to this I have always regard
ed his person and memory with the sincer
est confidence and affection. But let me
ask you, Did you ever see that smile which
used to irradiate Jus face at times ? Or did
you ever hear his voice when he meant to
dissuade you from some cherished purpose,
or urge you to adopt some favored plan of
his own ? If you have, then you will not
be surprised that the writer is still a citizen
of South Carolina and a member of the South
Carolina Annual Conference.
But I fear too much time has been devo
ted to this comparatively unimportant inci
dent. Still you must remember that lam
professedly writing little things of a truly
great man, and my only justification is, the
interest which they may excite arises from
their connection with him , and not with the
writer himself.
Let us come back again to the night re
ferred to in a former article, and allow me
to finish my account of some of the conver
sations which occurred then and there.—
Some allusion was made to his Dastorship of
the Church in Columbia, S. C.,*shortly after
ho had passed his disciplinary term in Wil
mington, North Carolina. But before I be
gin I must make a few explanations. Gtl
umbia had been regarded, and justly so, for
maoy years before the war, as the head and
centre of Methodistic influence and respecta
bility in the So. Carolina Conference. Her
praise was in all the Churches, for an en
larged liberality and generous warm hearted
support of every benevolent Christian enter,
prise. Her Female College, Church edifices,
parsonages, and generous support of the
ministry, all bear witness to those facts.
At the time to which the good Bishop re
ferred in the following narrative, the Wal
laces, Bryces, Edgars, Veals, and others of
known liberality, wore either not connected
with the Church at all, or not advanced to
official positions in it; therefore, nothing
said by him was intended to depreciate or
diminish the well known generosity of the
Methodist Church in Columbia of a later
day and generation. These brethren wero
highly appreciated by him, and we know
that the appreciation was mutual.
ihe Bishop described the little old par
sonage of a former day, and still remember
ed by some of the older preachers, as stand
ing nearly on the site of the late elegant
and commodious Suuday-school room, with
its end to the street, and its little piazza
fronting the graveyard in therearuf Wash
ington street Church. It had but three
or four rooms of small sitfe, one bed-room
furnished, and the par'll and dining room
with a meagre supply of the most necessary
articles 1
In the dining-room, for example, was a
table, two or three old and broken chairs,
and a long bench. These were thought
sufficient for the comfort of the preachers
in those days, and it was not thought nec
essary that he should entertain any com
pany.
It was customary then for tie preacher to
keep weekly accounts of expenditures, to
he presented to the Stewards for payment.
They were most minutely and accurately
kept by the future Bishop, and presented
weekly, according to rule. It not unfrequent
ly happened that some small article was ob
jected to by some close, calculating brother,
in words like these : “Well, brother Capers’
I see here a few pounds ol coffee, wouldn’t
tea have been cheaper ?’’
“Well, brother, scratch it out,’’ the Dr.
would reply, and away would go the pen
across the offending item, and that pen held
by the hand of a man whose family was
supplied with every luxury, and whose pro
perty would have been estimated at some
thing under one hundred thousand dollars.
“Bishop,’’ I exclaimed with indignation,
“how could you stand it ? Surely if they
had appreciated you, and felt the value of
religion they could not have”—
“Softly my brother,’’ said he. “If there
ever was a time when I was appreciated in
Columbia, it was then ; and besides, alter
the chastisement which I had received from
God, 1 was only too glad to preach the Gos
pel anywhere and under any circumstances.
And to show you that I am not mistaken in
the matter of appreciation, when the Gener
al Assembly met in the fall and had deter
mined on observing a day of public thanks
giving and prayer, a joint committee of both
Houses was appointed to wait upon ine and
invite me to preach before the Legislature
iu the State House on the occasion. I
knew they were coming, and so arranged
my long bench by the side of the wall, and
prepared one of my broken chairs, on which
to sit myself, and receive their communica
tion. The committee came in state. I
ranged them on the bench and seating my
self in front, heard and accepted their in
vitation. And so you see it was not for the
want of appreciation.”
When L heard all this told in his calm,
quiet way, and without the exhibition of the
smallest grain of bitterness, I was subdued
by a mingled feeling of admiration for the
man, and shame at the recollection of many
a discontented feeling in which I had in
dulged toward the Church, when I had so
much less reason for the indulgence. I
thought then and afterward, of the many
tempting offers which others (not he) said
had been made to him by the other com
munions, to abandon Methodism, and enter
positions of honor, ease, and even wealth,
all of which he rejected, and ffound himself
with a still more indissoluble tie to the for
tunes of his beloved Methodism. Clearly
he was not a man to be bought at any earth
ly price—“ The inheritance incorruptible,
undefiled, and that fadeth not away/' alone
had power to excite the aspirations of his
great soul. The great religious features of
his character which have impressed them
selves on the minds of thousands of his
friends and hearers are these: simplicity,
transparency, and the deepest reverence for
God, and all that appertained to His wor
ship.
“His very looks,” said one, “as he ap
proaches the pulpit, impresses me as deeply
as most sermons.’’ Dear reader, did you
ever hear him preach? “Hear him preach,
did you say? Why yes, who has not heard
Bishop Capers ?” Well, now mind, I don’t
mean did you ever hear him talk a sermon
—he was good at that at any time, and could
talk in the most pleasant manner, sometimes
for a half au hour, without fixing a single
idea in mind, and yet it was talking,
such as hardly any other man could do. It
came like the echo of a distant song, and
died away like the last notes of a lullaby ;
or to change the figure, rolled as smoothly
along the plane of your mind as oil over pol
ished marble; and yet for the life of you,
you could not tell what, he had been preach
ing about in particular. It was a talk of
inimitable grace and smoothness, but there
was no point there, not a peg, to which you
could hold for a moment. But, sir, did you
ever hear him preach ? Well, sir, I have,
and especially at camp meetings. I have
seen him tremulous with excitement from
the commencement—his mind warming to
the subject at every step—becoming clear
aud pellucid as a mountain brook—his bright
eyes burning with an intense g’ow, appa
rently emitting electric sparks which kin
dled upon his delighted congregation, burn
ing into their very souls the great thoughts
which were every moment beiug set free
from his own mind. On these occasions I
have heard him describe Scriptural inci
dents with a minuteness of detail which was
wonderful, each little part seeming to be
necessary for the perfection of the whole ;
and when the picture was completed it stood
SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.
before your mind as the very perfection of
artistic beauty, skill and power. And yet
there was no art about the man ; he was all
simplicity, elegance and grace, and best of
all was utterly unconscious of his own un
paralleled powers of eloquence. Covering
all this display of original genius, there was
the never-wanting (in him) veil of solemni
ty and earnestness. He seemed as if he was
looking into eternity, as if standing in the
very presence of God. He was at such
times awfully grand and sublime, never
common-place or pedantic. How could he
be so, when heart, and soul, and body, were
all deeply consecrated to God ? Oh, my
Bishop, when shall I look upon thy like
again ! Itinerant.
