F. Smith, Sunday Night,<lb />December 8th, 1895.<lb /><lb />ee teams<lb /><lb />(CONCLUDED FROM YESTERDAY.)<lb /><lb />Dr. L. L. Nash gives the following<lb />jaccount of his connection with Green-<lb />{ville Methodism: «I went to Green-<lb />ville in December, 1877, and traveled<lb />{Greenville circuit 1878-79-T80-T81.<lb />When I took charge of the circuit the<lb />following appointments were on _ it:<lb /><lb />Zion, Shiloh and Shady Grove. I<lb />founded a church at Salem and another<lb />at Berea and added them to the circnit.<lb />Methodism (and Christianity as well)<lb />was at a low ebbin Pitt county. There<lb />was not a comfortable house of worship<lb />in the couuty.<lb />old dilapidated church out by Cherry<lb />Hill cemetery. There were very few<lb />members. B. W. Brown, Arthur<lb />Forves, W. S. Rawls, John S. Cungle-<lb /><lb />constituted the male membership. The<lb />church was weak and not much es-<lb />teemed by. other denominations. In<lb />the spring of 1878 we had a glorious<lb />revival of religion in which over one<lb />hundred persons were converted, sixty-<lb />six of whom joined our church. This<lb />meeting placed our church in the fron<lb />which positon she has held ever since.<lb />Had revivals every year while I was<lb />there and there were a goodly number<lb />of accessions to the church. But there<lb />never had been an extensive revival in<lb />the place as the one held in 1878. The<lb />membership. of the church was more<lb />than doubled, and the moral effecton the<lb />community was such that we were able<lb />to go forward and build a new ehureh.<lb />I had bought the lot on which the<lb />church and parsonage now stand, and<lb />it was commonly predicted that we<lb />should never be able to pay for the<lb />property, much less to build a church.<lb />But the Lord helped us and we went<lb />forward and built, and paid for the<lb />church and_ parsonageT all except a<lb />small sum that was borried from Capt.<lb />David Hill, who was a staunch friend<lb />of the church and whose wife was a de-<lb />voted member.�<lb /><lb />Dr. Nash was aman of good ~preach-<lb />ing ability and untiring euergy. His<lb />ministry is an epoch in the history of<lb />the church. ;<lb /><lb />In January, 1878, the present  lo-<lb />cation was purchased from William<lb />Grimes for $1,000 by B. W. Brown,<lb />W. 5, Rawls, John S. Congleton, S<lb />P. Erwin, Orlando Hearne, Jesse D.<lb />Williamson and J. L. Grimmer, trus-<lb />tees of the M. E. Church, South.<lb />There are now twenty members of this<lb />church received by certificate and on<lb />profession of faith during the four<lb />yearTs ministry of Bro. Nash.<lb /><lb />S. D. Bagley_was Sunday School<lb />Superjntendent from 1876 to 1882.<lb /><lb />S. V. Hoyle served Greenville _ cir-<lb />cuit. during 1881-83. Twelve who<lb /><lb />dare now members were received by<lb /><lb />him.<lb /><lb />At the Statesville conference Green-<lb />ville wes made a station and ©, M.<lb />Anderson was appointed to ~it, remain-<lb />ing two years, 1884-85. He was a<lb />good man and ®-geed preacher, es-<lb />pecially. on doctrinal subjects, but bad<lb />health interfered: with his work. He<lb />writes: oI found a good many young<lb />men, members of the vhurch, young<lb />in Methodism but advanced. lieyond<lb />their years in their knowledge of ant<lb /><lb />|attachment to Méthodism, _ There was<lb /><lb />an enlargement in religious | growth and<lb /><lb />the foundations: of Methodism were }<lb /><lb />hened. Our © Suhday School.<lb /><lb />: was a grand success.�<lb /><lb />BE. C. Glenn was Sunday School<lb /><lb />| Superintendent from: 1882 to, 1885.<lb /><lb />Be As. Bishop. rerved .

He was a<lb />very fine pastor and an acceptable<lb />preacher, Fifteen of the present mem-<lb />bership were received into the church<lb />by him.<lb />quake was the biggest occurrence dur-<lb />ing my pastorate. It occurred on Tues-<lb />day night and had a fine effect on my<lb />prayer meeting congregation the next<lb />night. My first year we had a good<lb />meeting. Painted the parsonage.�<lb /><lb />J. White was Sunday School Super-<lb /><lb />intendent 1886-7.<lb /><lb />AR. B. John was appointed to succeed<lb />F. A. Bishop and remained four years,<lb />1888.91. This was a fortunate Rp-<lb />pointment. Hewas the man for the<lb />place, Many among the most useful<lb />members of the church were received<lb />by him. In every respect the chureh<lb />prospered under his ministry. As a<lb />preacher he was always thoughtful and<lb />instructive, aud grew in the. estimation<lb />and affection of the people. In the<lb />spring of the first year of his pastorate<lb />here he had an excellent revival of<lb />religion continuing five weeks and re-<lb />sulting in twenty-seven accessions to the<lb />church and increased spirituality and<lb />activity among the membership. In<lb />1889 he was assisted in a meeting by<lb /><lb />Rey. Leitch, an evaugelist, A glo-T<lb /><lb />rious revival followed and a large num-<lb />ber united with the church. T. J. Jar-<lb />vis was received by certificate this year.<lb />In May, 1885, he joined the Methodist<lb />church at Mt. Zion, the church of<lb />which his father and mother had been<lb />members. He has been Lieutenant<lb />Governor and Governor of North<lb />Carolina, Minister Plenipotentiary to<lb />Brazil and UnitedStates Senator.<lb />He is as wise in ~the councils .of the<lb />church as in the affairs of State and<lb />Nation. He is ever ready to advance<lb />the interests and usefulness of the<lb />church. He. was Sunday School<lb />Snperintenpent i in 1890,<lb /><lb />Some material improvements were<lb />madeby R. B. John" asteeple was built<lb />and a recess for pulpit added. ~At the<lb />beginning of his pastorate there were<lb />1; 31 members of thechurch, at the close<lb />196. His salary in 1888 was $650,<lb />in 1891, $900. Amount contributed<lb />in 1891 for all purposes, $2,557.75.<lb />The annual conference met here the<lb />same year in November, Bishop Gallo-<lb />way presiding. The entertainment and<lb />hospitality of the people was all that<lb />could be desired. This was an impor-<lb />tant event in the history of this church.<lb />At this conference R. B. John was<lb />made Presiding Elder of Washington<lb />District and remained thr ee years.<lb /><lb />G. F. Smith succeeded him in Green-<lb />ville and remained four years, 1892~'95.<lb />(zreenville cireuit was put with the sta-<lb />tion one year, 1894, and J. C. McCall,<lb />a consecrated young man of good<lb />preaching ability, was co-pastor with<lb />G. F.

If you}<lb />peer through the crowd, you will<lb />see the men drawing, back the bat-<lb />tering rams and then, projecting.<lb />them sharply against wedge after<lb />wedge. This work continues for<lb />four or five minutes, and then an in-<lb />spection is made. It is necessary<lb />that the wedges. be driven: yniform-<lb />ly. The effect, of this -rally seems<lb />imperceptible. It has . resulted,<lb />however, in driving the packing<lb />close up against the sides of the<lb />ship, and when that was accom-<lb />plished has driven the sliding ways<lb />~down: hard upon the stationary<lb />~ways, squeezing out the tallow here<lb />and there.

Another<lb /><lb />pioneers. They are the painters,<lb />and with long brushes on the ends<lb />of poles they daub over the places<lb />where the props rested, which could<lb />not be painted until the props were<lb />taken away, .,<lb /><lb />Underneath the ~ship another gang<lb />of men is making havoo with the<lb />hes blocks. Sharp chise's are be-<lb /><lb />g inserted on the sides of the<lb />Sacks. and sledges are, used as the<lb />workmen come up from the river<lb />toward the bow, knocking this way<lb />and that the blocks which have been<lb />the support of the ship ever since<lb />she was first laid down. At last,<lb />apparently after much confusion,<lb />but really in accordance with acare-<lb />ful system, all the keel blocks are<lb />knocked .away, and. the supreme<lb />moment has arrived. All the wedges<lb /><lb />outer edges are in a line as straight!<lb />as a file of soldiers on dress parade.<lb />The ship rests on an entirely new<lb />foundation and a. very treacherous<lb />one. There are no sideT supports to<lb />keep her from toppling over: ~The<lb />toboggan slides are ready for work,<lb />and they must be true in their in,<lb />clination and in their horizontal po.<lb />sition, or the ship ~will be wrecked | .<lb />~as she goes: aid down toward the | ..<lb />water.
