8 From the Weekly Rec >r<l. 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.
