In 1830 he was located, and held this relation until 1845, When upon the organization of the Florida Conference he was readmitted into the travelling connection. He continued his ministerial labors until he was stricken with paralysis, which in a few days resulted in death, June 25, 1854. Mr. Slade possessed an intellect of high order, and was endowed with great courage, both physical and moral. He was distinguished for his humility, his self denial, his devotedness to Christ, and his fidelity to all his Christian obligations. See Sprague, Annals of the Amer. Pulpit, 7, 682.
