REV. R. KNIGHT.
A Short Sketch of the Life and
Services of the Presiding El
der of the Chicago District
A. M. E Church.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Vincennes, Ind., in 1841. His mother's
maiden name was Eliza Birch and his
father's Aaron H. Knight. He received
his education in his native state,
being a pupil of Ezekiel Williams,
Jefferson Anderson, Prof's. Porter
and Gibson respectively. He was
converted and joined the church
in 1864, under the spiritual labors of the
late Rev. William Jackson and wife, and
received his first theological instruction
from Rev. Levi Bass, now deceased.
Joining tlte traveling connection of the
A. M. E. church in the city of Spring
field, III., he las served successfully the
following charges: Metropolis, 111., one
year Mattoon, 111., two vears Daven
port, Iowa.'cvi'e year Alton. 111., two
years Mount Pleasant, Iowa, one year
Carbondale, II'., one year Springfield,
III., one year Cedar Rapids, Iowa, one
year St. Paul, Minn., four years St.
Stephens, Chicago, three years and is
at present filling the position of Presid
ing Elder of the First Presiding Elder
District of the Iowa Annual Conference.
He was ordained Deacon by tbe-late
William Paul Quinn, Bishop of the Indi
ana Conference which met at Chicago in
1871 and was ordained Elder by Bishop
A. W. Wayman, at Keokuk, in 1S73.
He has served two years as District Book
Steward of tbe Iowa Annual Conference
and has served four terms as secretary
and assistant secretary of his conference
and was elected delegate to the last
General Conference and served his con
stituency in that body with much honor.
Preachesin Hi Sl.-ep.
"Major" Perry, an illiterate and
ignorant Edgefield Coantv, S. Col
ored man, who while in what appears
to be a trance preaches learned and elo
quent sermons, is attracting a great deal
of attention in Columbia. Perry goes to
bed and lies outstretched iiiYull view of
he audience and goes to sleep. After a
few moments of apparently sound slum
ber, bis muscles begin to twitch, his
limbs to contract and his whole body
becomes contorted. This spasm soon
passes off and then he begins to preach.
He takes his text from the Bible, naming
book, chapter and verse, all the time
lying flat on his back with his eyes shut.
For half an hour or more he preaches an
excellent sermon, using strictly gramati
cal language. At the conclusion of the
sermon he sings a hymn to an old air,
but the words of it entirely new and of
Ms own composition then comes a
prayer and he dismisses the congrega
tion. This unconscious preaching goes
on every night, no matter where Perry
may be, whether before an audience or
not, except Friday nights, when he is
dumb.
George Murray, a Colored man of
Baltimore, Md.t is one hundred and
fifteen years of age. He walks about and
is in possesion of his faculties The
most remarkable thing about him is
that he never saw George Washington.
