In all discussions in the conferences he was an able and successful debater, and seldom failed of his aim. In the pulpit he was pre-eminent. His preaching was logical and vigorous, and he poured forth a flood of fervid and passionate eloquence that carried his audiences with him, and brought very many to Christ. His death was triumphant.
