Abstract:

In February 1813, the Virginia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church met in New Bern. One of the speakers, Reverend Jesse Lee of Virginia, spoke of how the world had been turned upside down after the fall in the Garden of Eden. The next day, much to everyone's enjoyment, it was discovered that local pranksters had gone through the town and turned everything upside down from mailboxes and street signs to boats and wagons.\r\n
