(Hljarlestou : aaialkcr, etjans anti Co., printers, SvoalJ Strrrt. iseo. Hooiff V "Most dear is it to us to think, that we shall lie down in our flower-crowned Cemetery, with some simple, modest. Christian inscription ahove us, with those hanging branches gently and whisperingly waving their requiems over our heads ; while the music and the prayers, which we once loved, shall come and speak to our mouldering frames, of eternal life and eternal progress, in the Christian's promised Heaven." Extract from Dr. Gilman's Dedication Sermon, APEIL 2nd, 1854. A few words will illustrate the history of the following Memorial. In the hallowed ground of the Unitarian Church, rises, graceful in artistic beauty, a Monument, on which are inscribed the words OUR PASTOR. It stands a symbol of Christianity: for pointing Heaven-ward, in its white purity, through sunlight and night dew, amid storm and darkness, it is firm and unshaken. Like Christianity, too, no gloom settles at its base, though the mortal dust lies mouldering below, but cheerful blossoms spring all around, and speak of resur- rection. Many conjointly contributed to raise this Monument, comprising not only the Congregation, to whom the Pastor consecrated his life, but others in the community, who respected and loved him for what he was to them. On the recurrence of every holy Sabbath, when the memory of his ministrations is most vivid, gifts of flowers, in every form of loveliness, are laid upon the shrine. I Elsewhere, with a few admired exceptions, the grounds, though i some years since laid out with judgment and taste, had lapsed to I decay, and repulsed the observer with an overgrowth of weeds. In the month of April last, toviched with a sense of the exceed- i ing tenderness lavished on one grave', I asked mj'self. Can not j something be done for others, that shall correspond in part to this wealth of love? Cau not some neglected surroundings, where the rank growth repels even the footsteps of kindred, be rescued and converted into beauty? Those who lie here, I thought, were like the Pastor consigned to earth by sorrowing hearts, and bitter tears fell on their new-raised mounds ; may it not soothe some distant mourner to know, that friendly hands are planting flowers, or tending the sod around their dear departed ; and who shall say, that the Spirits of the blessed may not hover over and hallow the spots newl}' consecrated by these sacred sympathies ? I had only to communicate this feeling to members of the Con- gregation, to create an interest on the subject. By permission of the officers, an Association of Ladies for the improvement of the Cemetery of the Unitarian Church was formed; and now around all our sepulchres, as around that of Christ's, "there is a garden." While engaged in the necessary labor of improvement, I had occasion, as the inscriptions on the old grave-stones were brought to light, to notice the eager interest with which they were perused, and it occurred to me that a printed collection might gratify our people. With the aid of two young friends I have accomplished my design. These Records should not be examined simply with curiosity. There is a fact connected with them too deep and beautiful in its significance to be disregarded. E.\tending along a period of many years, and embracing individuals of various theological tenets, there will be found, as in the catacombs of the early Christians, scarcely the trace of a Creed. It seems as if the human mind, growing nearer to the leading simple truths of religion as it witnesses the ordeal of Death, buries its dogmas and formulas in the dust with the departed, and " worships in spirit." The Literature of Christian burial-grounds presents a prolilic field for the ingenious essayist, from the first rude but touching memorials of the secret worshippers at Rome, to the elaborate eulogies of later times, settling, at length, into the present style of strict simplicity. So too, Art might luxuriate in the same range even in our own country, beginning with the Death's heads, and unsightly forms on old Plymouth Hill, and embracing many original and sometimes classic conceptions, scattered in solemn stillness over the land. For the utility of private attendance on the Dwellings of the Dead, I might enter a plea, feeling sure that an organization like the one I have recorded, would exclude many abuses that have obtained in intermural burial-places. But neither Literature, Art, or even utility come within my present design. I simply commit this Memorial, as a matter of sentiment, to my fellow-worshippers. This only do I desire, that our Cemetery may henceforth, as now, be consecrated to sacred thoughts. That no unkind feeling may darken its beautiful bowers. That no light or profane word may be heard within its precincts. And let us trust, that if, with Mary of Bethany, the mourner "goes unto the grave to weep there," perchance, with Mary Magda- len, "a vision of angels" may be seen, and a voice heard saying, " NOT HERE, BUT RISEN."

WILLIAM TENNENT, A.M. Pastor of this Church, (And principally instrumental in the Erection of this building, Dedicated to the worship Of Almighty God;) Who died at the High hills of Santee, Aug. 11th, 1777, In the 37th year of his age. He was distinguished For quickness of perception And solidity of judgment; For energy and firmness of mind ; For inflexible patriotism And ardent public spirit; For sincere and zealous piety ; For the boldness with which he enforced The claims of the Deity And vindicated the rights of man. As a preacher he was prompt. Solemn, instructive and persuasive. Of every social virtue he was A bright example. " Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." Note.— The Rev. William Tennent, A.M., was born in New Jersey, 1740, invited to the pastoral charge of the Independent Church in Charleston, and arrived in 1772. He was a member of the Provincial Congress, and afterwards of the Commons House of Assembly, where he delivered a speech on the justice and policy of putting all religious denominations on an equal footing. Under the fostering zeal of Rev. Mr. Tennent, before the Revolution, the walls of a new house of worship, which had been located in Archdale Street, were completed. The Church erected a monument to his memory in their Archdale Street House of Worship, of which he was the father.— Ramsay's "History So. Ca." By a vote of the Corporation in 1852, the "walls " of the Church were to be retained in the construction of the new edifice.— Oilman's ■' FareweU Address." 11 SACRED TO THE MEMORY OF The Rev. ISAAC STOCKTON KEITH, D.D., who was born at Newtown, Bucks Co., Pennsylvania, on the 17th January, 1755, was educated at the New Jersey College, where he was honoured with the degree of A. B., A.D. 1775. After having laboured eight years in his Lord's vineyard, in the Presbyterian Church at Alexandria, in Virginia, he was called to the copastoral charge of the Independent or Congregational Church in Charleston, S. C. Of this Church he continued during a period of five and twenty years the faithful, affectionate, beloved and successful Pastor, when he was suddenly called away from his earthly labours to his heavenly rest, on the 14th Dec''-. 1813, iEtat 58 years 11 months. An eminent example of every Christian virtue, he was preeminently distinguished for liberality to the poor, sympathy with the afflicted, forbearance and forgiveness of injuries, hospitality to strangers and a zeal in promoting the interests of religion. In his public ministrations remarkably observant of the dispensations of divine Providence, and peculiarly happy in improving them for the spiritual benefit of his hearers. In doctrine deep and instructive, in delivery solemn and impressive, in prayer copious and fervent. UU mourning widow in testimony of her sense of his worth, and affection for his memory erects this frail monument. Copied from the slab in the Cemetery, near the chancel. Rev. William HoUinsheail, I).D., is erected iu THIS MONUMENT Is erected by this bereaved Congregation to the memory of their late pastor, The Rev. ANTHONY FORSTER, as a token of their affection, and respect for his Character as a Man, a Christian and a Minister. As a Man he was distinguished for originality and vigour of mind, for discriminating judgment, for simplicity and purity of character, for correctness and elevation of moral feeling, for ardent love of truth, and intrepidity in its defence; As a Christian he was rational, consistent, liberal, pious and devout; As a Minister he was affectionate, faithful, judicious, and ardently devoted to the labours of his office. His discourses were serious, practical, and persuasive, addressed, by turns, to every faculty of the mind, and awakening the kindliest emotions of the heart. This faithful servant of Christ, after enduring with exemplary patience and fortitude, the sufferings of a long protracted illness, expired at RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA, January 18th, 1820; aged 35 years. THIS TABLET IS ERECTED BY THE CONGREGATION OF THIS CHURCH IS AFFECTIONATE REMEMBRANCE OF THE LATE REV. CHARLES MANSON TACCART, THEIR JUNIOR PASTOR, WHO WAS BORN IN MONTREAL, CANADA, OCT. 31, 1821, AND DIED IN THIS CITY, OCT. 22, 1854, AT THE EARLY AGE OF 33 YEARS. AS A MINISTER OP THE GOSPEL HE WAS EMINENTLY DISTINGUISHED FOR THE EARNESTNESS AND ELOQUENCE WITH WHICH HE ADVOCATED A SYSTEM OF PRACTICAL AND LIBERAL CHRISTIANITY, BASED UPON THE SIMPLE, PURE AND BEAUTIFUL TEACHINGS OP JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE CHRIST — THE ANOINTED MESSENGER OP GOD THE FATHER; WHILE AT THE SAME TIME HE EVINCED GREAT ORIGINALITY AND BOLDNESS IN ATTACKING THE NARROW CREEDS OF SECTARIANISM — THE INVENTIONS OF MEN. AS A CHRISTIAN, HE EXHIBITED THE MOST FERVENT PIETY TOWARDS GOD, AND THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE CHARITY FOR HIS FELLOW-MEN; EVER INCULCATING IN HIS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE TEACHINGS THE PATERNITY OF GOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. WE LIVE m DEEDS, NOTYEARS; IN THOUGHTS, NOT BREATHS; IN FEELINGS, NOT IN FIGURES ON A DIAL. HE MOST LIVES WHO THINKS MOST, FEELS THE NOBLEST, ACTS THE BEST. TO THE MEMORY OP THE REV. SAMUEL CILMAN, D.D., WHO SUCCEEDED THE REV. ANTHONY FORSTER, Aa Pastor of this Church, December 1st, 1819, And Died 9th Fpbruary, 1858, after a ministry op nearly Forty Years, As AN Apostle of Jesus Christ, he magnified AND SANCTIFIED HIS OFFICE, BY A LIFE OF Faith AND Works. IN ALL THE RELATIONS OF LIFE, HIS WALK AND CONVERSATION WERE A LIVING EPISTLE Of Liberal Christianity, to be READ of all MEN. DISTINGUISHED BY AN ARDENT LOVE FOR THE GOOD, THE BEAUTIFTL, AND THE TRUE, AND BY NATURE, EDUCATION AND GRACE, IN THE POSSESSION OF SO MANY BLENDED VIRTUES AND EXCELLENCES, IN HIM "Mercy and truth met together. Righteousness and peace kissed each other." THIS GRATEFUL TRIBUTE TO A VENERATED PRESENCE, WHICH, THOUGH DEAD YET SPEAKETH, IS DICTATED BY THE AFFECTION OF A SORROWING CONGREGATION, WHO HAVE KNOWN " Hoto blessed a thing IT IS FOR BRETHEREN TO DWELL TOGETHER IN UNITY." "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright." Rev. JAMES R. McFARLAND. Sufficient time has not yet elapsed for the erection of a monu- ment to this gifted servant of Christ, but erelong "the silent column will lift itself beautifully, amid storm and sunshine, an unwearied preacher; and the pulseless marble shall flash a glow of inspiration in upon our souls."* The young Pastor elect was born in Charleston, Kanawha Co., Virginia, on the 17th December, 1829, and was to have been In- stalled over the Unitarian Church, in this city, November, 1858. "While travelling in Virginia, in August, he ruptured a blood- vessel of the lungs. "Heaven heard the prayer he uttered in his anguish, and he died 'in the midst of a loving and beloved flock,' April, 1859. " No stolid indifference sustained him through his sad and weary hours. His was a calmness full of feeling, yet a feeling so far removed from passion by his firm faith, so refined by prayer, and so subdued to the will of his Father in Heaven, that it only exhibited itself in a moving earnestness of soul, the more afi'ecting for its quiet dignity. There was a lesson taught at his bedside — a lesson of immortality." -f- "He passed through the valley of shadows in the light of a JDii-ine Bojie, and 'the Name that is above every name' was the last that fell from his lips." * Rev. Charles B. Thomas. "Funeral Address." t Samuel Logan, M.D. Extract from " Tribute.' of in tl)t MiiMt 0f tk CIntrtlr. Sacred to the Memory of MRS. MARTHA SAVAGE, widow of Major WILLIAM SAVAGE, and daughter of The Hon. ISAAC HOLMES. Born in the citv of Charleston, where she died on the 5"! of August, 1824, in her Eighty-second year. Taught in her infancy to adore her Creator, piety advanced with her age, and was the comfort and decoration of a Patriarchal life. For si.xty years with undissembled devotion, she partook the solemn sacrament, commemorative of her Saviour's agony, and expiatory death. Adversity distinguished her with many a severe visitation, yet fortitude never failed, and these dispensations were received with a submission, which declared her conviction, that they came from that Being, whose right it is to favour us with blessings, or try us with Calamity. No impious murmurings of unholy and presumptuous pride, were extorted by distress, but a duteous acquiescence under the will of Heaven, mitigated the pungency of grief. She saw that the desolation of Winter, was succeeded by the luxuriant verdure, and fragrant elegancies of Spring; and practically believed, that the God of Christians, could " Make her wilderness like Eden, and her Desert like the garden of the Lord." Also of Miss ELIZABETH SAVAGE, who died on the 12"" November, 1818. In this lady were united exemplary love to her parent, with the most unvarying affection towards her Sister, and she was characterized alike by amiableness of temper, and urbanity of deportment.

[As this work originated in contemplatin(5 the testimonials of affection to the " Pastor," the following extract from a discourse delivered by Rev. George G. Inger- soU. I>. D., iu the Unitarian Church, on the Sabbath succeeding the second anniver- sary of his death, may not inappropriately close the volume.] Text. — I have finished the work which Thou gavest me to do. — John xvii. 4. These words, in an interrogative form, we might propose to ourselves with peculiar fitness, every day; on the Sabbath, when the cares and joys of our outer life are put aside, and we come thus more closely to God: on our birth-day, when they seem forced upon us, without asking our consent; on the death of some loved or honored friend, when the heart is aching under the blow, and the mind labors with the thought, — What was he, and what am I ? Did he finish the work given to him to do ? Am I finishing my work? Such a day has occurred since we last assembled for worship in this house ; a day marked with the dark and mournful sign of his death, who belongs, not only to yourselves, but to the com- munity in which he lived. Need I speak his name, need I add the relation in which he stood to you — your Pastor — the second anniversary of whose death was on the Thursday of the past week. Need I do more than repeat the name of Samuel Gil- MAX, and leave your own hearts to supply the rest? For what could thoughts of mine, or words of mine, do to touch those hearts which are still so tremblingly alive to the sense of their great loss ? When I came among you, some few weeks since, I was much struck with the freshness of your sorrow. How many men, those of worth and even of high standing in the commnnity, almost pass from memory within the compass of two years; and though not entirely foi-gotten, become partially so by the pressure of other thoughts. But here, almost every house I entered, had something to awaken remembrance of him; almost every voice I heard, had some tribute of affection and respect to utter; so that I could not but repeat the sentiment inscribed on one of the marbles in your cemetery, "To live forever in the hearts of loving fi'iends, is not to die." I knew Dr. Gilman many years since, during the period of our college lives — he a tutor, and I a student — a relation preventing a closer ac^juaintance than a kind greeting and conversation. I was well acquainted with his position as one of a distinguished class, and his standing as a man of letters; though of him, as a preacher, I could, of coui^e, know but little. It was liere that the professional character was developed, which grew with his growth, and strengthened with his strength, until it ripened into the revered counsellor, the Christian orator, the indefatigable pastor, the well read theologian, the accomplished divine. I might speak of him as a man of warm and kind heart, genial spirit, blameless conversation, cordial manner, and social feeling, which made him, at once, beloved and respected. I might describe him as the citizen, ever ready with pen and hand to help ou the work of the general good. I might dwell on his character as a scholar of various attainments, deep research and polished grace, rich thought and airy fancy, which so well fitted him for a purely literary life. But, on this day, in this ]jlacc on which I stand, it is to him, as the lareacher, the pastor, the advocate of a pure and undefiled religion, that I would refer. And how can I do more than this ? Looking, as I do, from an outside position, how cold and pointless may seem what I now utter, compared with those full tributes which his death called forth, not only from his professional bi-ethren, but from almost every class of those Avho knew him well. The religious paper and secular print, the religious magazine and the literary journal, the theological review and the scientific periodical, as well as the sermon of the Sabbath, all united in the Eorrowfnl notice of his decease, and in the respectful and tender eulogy of his character. The tablet at my side, the mon- ument in what he himself called " the flower-crowned cemetery," all these speak to you of him; remind you of him, as if they would never let his memory die. And is not this enough? His Christian course was run, and was not the work given him here to do, finished? In his modest humility he would not have said so himself ; rather would he have mourned that he had done so little. As he once said in a sermon which I heard liim preach, early in life, in the begin- ning of his ministerial course — •' Who is sufficient for these things." It is true the work here given him to do was a great work; but others, who looked on the spirit in which he labored, and the actual amount he wrought, would say that he at least had well finished his course. Others could say of him, he fought a good fight, he kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for him a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give him at that day, when he will bestow on those who have labored faithfully upon the earth, the' approving com- mendatiop, "Well done good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." Note. — Blank pages, with the various headings, have been added to the Inscriptions, for the convenience of those who de- sire to continue the system. Note. — It appears that the irregularity of punctuation re- ferred to in the early part of this volume, arises from the action of time, dust, light and shadow, and other accidents, and not from inaccuracy in the original carving. In a work of this kind, it would be more advisable to follow the ordinary rules of punc- tuation. Note. — The vignette sketch of the monument is from a photograph, taken in November, when the leaves of the de- ciduous forest trees had fallen, but the ornamental shrubs were in bloom. itt&^X.
