built, and the Lord Jesus Christ found many followers, even unto death, in these islands. Leaving
Baxter in charge, who continued his labors until 1805, when he exchanged worlds, Dr. Coke, with
Hammett, who had opportunity of displaying his wonderfully popular gifts as a preacher with much
force of personal character during this sojourn, took ship February 10, 1787, for Charleston, S. C.,
which port he reached in eighteen days, having been absent from the continent much longer than he

his extraordinary career in that city, with its sequel, hereafter to be developed, return is made, in a
new chapter, to Superintendent Asbury and the work in the United States during these twenty months
of Coke's absence.
