Kennedy was one of the most effect- ive founders of Methodism in the further south at this early and critical period. One of the most memorable evangelists of the south- ern itinerancy, a man of real and rare genius, appeared in the same year with Kennedy. James Russell was born in Mecklenburgh County, ]N". C, about 1786. Early left an orphan, poor and untrained, he had to learn to read after he joined the South Carolina Confer- ence in 1805. He had been refused license to exhort because of his... ignorance, but his surpassing natural powers at last bore him above all opposition. He car- ried his spelling-book with him along his circuit, seeking assistance in its lessons even from the children of the families where he lodged. If the state of society in the far south at this early time would allow such a fact to detract from the ministerial character of ordinary men, it could not with him, for his extraordinary power in the pulpit armed him with a supreme authority. He was capable of the highest natural oratory, striking with awe or melting with pathos his crowded auditories.
