BELOW IS FROM 20TH CENTURY SKETCHES FROM THE S.C. CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST CHURCH
"Rev. Stannie Hart Booth, was born near Conway, Horry County, South Carolina, June 15. 1873. He comes from genuine Methodist stock, and from the influences thrown about him during his life we are not surprised at his call to preach the Gospel. His boyhood days were spent upon the farm, and his earliest recollections embrace impressions at the family altar, the Sunday School and the Church. His primary education was obtained through the agency of the three months' public schools, and diligent study around the pine-knot fire at night, after the day's toils were over. He won a scholarship in the South Carolina Military Academy through competitive examination, and graduated in 1895 with honors. He took high grade as a student in morals and scholarship. No cadet among them was more respected for piety and consecration to God. Brother Booth joined the Church at 12 years of age, but was not converted until six years later. His conversion was clear-cut, and no doubts have marred his spiritual sky since. Early after conversion came the call to preach, and his convictions as to this call grew more intense as the days came and went. He was licensed to preach at the District Conference at Clio, S. C, in April, 1897, and at the same Conference was recommended to the South Carolina Annual Conference for admission on trial. His first appointment was the Van Wyck Circuit, in 1898. He served this charge one year. The next year, 1899, he served the York Circuit, and is at present on this work. He was ordained a Deacon at the last Conference, in Orangeburg, S. C, by Bishop Key.
Brother Booth is a diligent pastor, and has the love and esteem of his people. He is a pure gospel preacher, and those who attend upon his ministry of the Word are edified and instructed. He is a constantly growing preacher. He knows. how to use his books to best advantage..."
