J.C. Foster.
of this excellent and useful minister of Jesus Christ no definnint data has been obtained.He has lived so long in Mississippi and labored so faithfully among the Baptist churches that
the history of denomination would be incomplete without the inserttion of his name. He now [1894 ] lives in Harperville and must be somewhere in the neighborhood of his seventieth year.When the writer first met him , some twenty years since,he lived in the eastern part of the state, in the vicinity of Meridian, possibly at Moscow. in 1880 and 1881 he lived in DeKalb, Kemper county,and did a gret deal of traveling and preaching to neighboring country churches. He was engaged in a rreat many revival meetings and was always greatly blessed in such work. in 1882 he moved to meridian MS. where he lived until 1885. At that time he moved to the vicinity of kosciusko, Attala county. Here he was actively engaged in the pastorate of neighboring churches, greatly esteemed for his works' sake.He removed to Edinburg, leake county, 1888, and entered upon the pastorate there and with neighboring churches. in in 1891 he moved to Harperville where he now livs. He is a very pleasing and attractive preacher. His sermons, while they abound in illustration, are always instructive. Some times, when in a revival meeting and fully in the spirit of preaching, he is really eloquent and impassioned: but usually his style is argumentative and instructive rather than impassioned.
