Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bishop Pierce's Sermons and Addresses: With a Few Special Discourses by Dr. Pierce
If there is any difference in the indications of these brief mem oranda of his preaching, it is that after he became Bishop he was more intensely. Practical and evangelical in his ministry.
One month during the thirty years he seems to have been silent. It was in 1859. He had started to California by the overland route I find the record thus: New Orleans, April 25; Shreveport, May 1 Rusk, May'4; San Marcos, May 14, 15; Stringtown, May 15 (three sermons that Sunday); San Antonio, May 19; Uvalde, May 21; San Francisco, June 19 - morning and evening. October 10 he preached at Los Angeles - between San Francisco and Los Angeles preaching fifty times.
The record is not complete - being most imperfect in 1860 and 1861. The storm was gathering and breaking, and his long habit of jotting down his texts, places, and times for awhile lost its hold upon him.' There are only eight sermons noted in 1861, and they were all preached in Hancock county. For 1862 the record appears to be nearly complete.
