Excerpt from Sunshine and Shade: In a Happy Itinerant's Life When Green P. Jackson entered the Tennessee Conference on trial for membership in it as an itinerant preacher, he adopted the plan of keeping a journal, in which he made a brief and comprehensive record of the most important incidents and occurrences which took place in his life. He did this simply for his own interest and advantage, and he also thought that it perhaps might prove to be, in some sort and measure, both pleasant and profitable to his friends, if perchance they should at any time have an opportunity of honoring it with a perusal. And so he took particular pains to register all his texts, the places where he preached, the sermons from them, the audiences which heard them, the apparent effect which the discourses produced upon them, the conditions of the weather, and other surroundings. He made a minute of the names of all the people whom he baptized and received into the Church, joined together in the bonds of holy wedlock, preached the funerals of and buried, and the names of the infants which he christened. And he did not fail to note the exact time when these things were done. But unfortunately, and greatly to his discomfort, he lost that book, and never recovered it.
