MINISTRY OF REV. MR. CARROLL. 85 gratitude and love, sustained him, under toils and burdens which his delicate physical structure had not strength to endure ; but at length his health gave way ; hemorrhage of the lungs ensued ; and there seemed no alternative but to resign his charge, and seek a milder climate, as well as a cessation from la- bor. To this necessity he finally yielded, asking and receiving a dismission from a people much beloved, and who loved him in return. The following resolu- tion was unanimously adopted by his Church on the occasion of his leaving them : " Resolved, That we do hereby publicly testify our grati- tude to God that during Mr. Carroll's ministry here, his la- bors have been signally blest by the out-pouring of the Holy Spirit, and that from a small beginning we have been raised up to be a growing and prosperous Church." A. J. McKELWAY, Chairman. J. C. MAGEE, Secretary. Jamesburg, Feb. 1, 1858. Soon after leaving Jamesburg, Mr. Carroll pro- ceeded South, stopping at Aiken, S. C, a place. of resort for invalids, including many from the North. He had intended to remain there but a short time, but finding his health improving, he occasionally preached, and with so much acceptance, that the good people of Aiken desired him to settle over them as Pastor. With this view a Presbyterian Church was organized there on the 28th and 29th of August, 1858, and not long after a convenient house of wor- ship was erected. Here Mr. Carroll labored with great usefulness and success, for nearly two years.
