L. Nash gives the following jaccount of his connection with Green- {ville Methodism: «I went to Green- ville in December, 1877, and traveled {Greenville circuit 1878-79-’80-’81. When I took charge of the circuit the following appointments were on _ it: Zion, Shiloh and Shady Grove. I founded a church at Salem and another at Berea and added them to the circnit. Methodism (and Christianity as well) was at a low ebbin Pitt county. There was not a comfortable house of worship in the couuty. old dilapidated church out by Cherry Hill cemetery. There were very few members. B. W. Brown, Arthur Forves, W. S. Rawls, John S. Cungle- constituted the male membership. The church was weak and not much es- teemed by. other denominations. In the spring of 1878 we had a glorious revival of religion in which over one hundred persons were converted, sixty- six of whom joined our church. This meeting placed our church in the fron which positon she has held ever since. Had revivals every year while I was there and there were a goodly number of accessions to the church. But there never had been an extensive revival in the place as the one held in 1878. The membership. of the church was more than doubled, and the moral effecton the community was such that we were able to go forward and build a new ehureh. I had bought the lot on which the church and parsonage now stand, and it was commonly predicted that we should never be able to pay for the property, much less to build a church. But the Lord helped us and we went forward and built, and paid for the church and_ parsonage’ all except a small sum that was borried from Capt. David Hill, who was a staunch friend of the church and whose wife was a de- voted member.” Dr. Nash was aman of good ‘preach- ing ability and untiring euergy. His ministry is an epoch in the history of the church. ; In January, 1878, the present lo- cation was purchased from William Grimes for $1,000 by B. W. Brown, W. 5, Rawls, John S. Congleton, S P. Erwin, Orlando Hearne, Jesse D. Williamson and J. L. Grimmer, trus- tees of the M. E. Church, South. There are now twenty members of this church received by certificate and on profession of faith during the four year’s ministry of Bro. Nash. S. D. Bagley_was Sunday School Superjntendent from 1876 to 1882. S. V. Hoyle served Greenville _ cir- cuit. during 1881-83. Twelve who dare now members were received by him. At the Statesville conference Green- ville wes made a station and ©, M. Anderson was appointed to ‘it, remain- ing two years, 1884-85. He was a good man and ®-geed preacher, es- pecially. on doctrinal subjects, but bad health interfered: with his work. He writes: “I found a good many young men, members of the vhurch, young in Methodism but advanced. lieyond their years in their knowledge of ant |attachment to Méthodism, _ There was an enlargement in religious | growth and the foundations: of Methodism were } hened. Our © Suhday School. : was a grand success.” BE. C. Glenn was Sunday School | Superintendent from: 1882 to, 1885. Be As. Bishop. rerved .

It occurred on Tues- day night and had a fine effect on my prayer meeting congregation the next night. My first year we had a good meeting. Painted the parsonage.” J. White was Sunday School Super- intendent 1886-7. AR. B. John was appointed to succeed F. A. Bishop and remained four years, 1888.91. This was a fortunate Rp- pointment. Hewas the man for the place, Many among the most useful members of the church were received by him. In every respect the chureh prospered under his ministry. As a preacher he was always thoughtful and instructive, aud grew in the. estimation and affection of the people. In the spring of the first year of his pastorate here he had an excellent revival of religion continuing five weeks and re- sulting in twenty-seven accessions to the church and increased spirituality and activity among the membership. In 1889 he was assisted in a meeting by Rey. Leitch, an evaugelist, A glo-’ rious revival followed and a large num- ber united with the church. T. J. Jar- vis was received by certificate this year. In May, 1885, he joined the Methodist church at Mt. Zion, the church of which his father and mother had been members. He has been Lieutenant Governor and Governor of North Carolina, Minister Plenipotentiary to Brazil and UnitedStates Senator. He is as wise in ‘the councils .of the church as in the affairs of State and Nation. He is ever ready to advance the interests and usefulness of the church. He. was Sunday School Snperintenpent i in 1890, Some material improvements were madeby R. B. John— asteeple was built and a recess for pulpit added. ‘At the beginning of his pastorate there were 1; 31 members of thechurch, at the close 196. His salary in 1888 was $650, in 1891, $900. Amount contributed in 1891 for all purposes, $2,557.75. The annual conference met here the same year in November, Bishop Gallo- way presiding. The entertainment and hospitality of the people was all that could be desired. This was an impor- tant event in the history of this church. At this conference R. B. John was made Presiding Elder of Washington District and remained thr ee years. G. F. Smith succeeded him in Green- ville and remained four years, 1892~'95. (zreenville cireuit was put with the sta- tion one year, 1894, and J. C. McCall, a consecrated young man of good preaching ability, was co-pastor with G. F. Smith, The object of this ar- rangement was to build two churehes— one at Ayden and the: other at Lang’s. At both places comfortable houses were erected mainly throngh the tontribu- tions of Greenville church, A protract- ed meeting was held each year. In the first most of the preaching was done by D. H. Tuttle, i in the second by R. A. Willis, in the third by J. E. Schoolfield, a consecrated layman of Danville, Va., in the fourth by R. J. Moorman. As a result of these, meetings about fifty joined the church. Accessions by cer- tificate and on profession of faith during the pastorate of G. F, Smith, 126, net gain 33, Amoutit’ contributed for all purposes, $8,448,72. ‘A. L. Blow was Sunday School Sup- erintendent 1891-92, D. D. Haskett 1893-94, A, B, Ellington 1895. OFFICIAL MEMBERS: J.

The above figures make a very good showing of work done by the mission- aries of the Convention. The Women’s Missionary Union has pressed forward with the work during the past year with gratifying results. Their report shows nearly. $25,000 raised for Foreign Missions. Miss. Fannie, E..

There; are nearly 600 workmen distributed | along the sides in gangs of. four . for the} fore high) look after. The time | launch is usually just : A dredge has been. used directly | in the path the vessel will take when ‘she makes her plunge, so that she]. may strike no obstructions. Every part of the ways has been inspected. ' If the weather is cold. lard oil has make it soft, andif the weather is ‘warm stearine has been mixed with it to make it hard. Tt is about an hour before the r the: first “rally. 34 b once & great ‘din arises. as if an army of street pavers were at work beneath the ship. If you} peer through the crowd, you will see the men drawing, back the bat- tering rams and then, projecting. them sharply against wedge after wedge. This work continues for four or five minutes, and then an in- spection is made. It is necessary that the wedges. be driven: yniform- ly. The effect, of this -rally seems imperceptible. It has . resulted, however, in driving the packing close up against the sides of the ship, and when that was accom- plished has driven the sliding ways ‘down: hard upon the stationary ‘ways, squeezing out the tallow here and there. But the ship still rests upon the keel blocks. After a restiof 15 or 20 minutes a second rally comes. .In go the wedges, and the great. hull seems to tremble just the least bit.. She is beginning to rest on the launching At last she is raised the smallest fracti the keel blocks. Now comes the time for quick work, Here is where the ‘‘pioneers’’ begin to swing their laxes. ‘One gang, of men rushes up to the few props that are still rest- jing against the sides of the hull. ‘Quick blows are given; timbers and chips begin to fly, and prop after prop falls to the ground. Another pioneers. They are the painters, and with long brushes on the ends of poles they daub over the places where the props rested, which could not be painted until the props were taken away, ., Underneath the ‘ship another gang of men is making havoo with the hes blocks. Sharp chise's are be- g inserted on the sides of the Sacks. and sledges are, used as the workmen come up from the river toward the bow, knocking this way and that the blocks which have been the support of the ship ever since she was first laid down. At last, apparently after much confusion, but really in accordance with acare- ful system, all the keel blocks are knocked .away, and. the supreme moment has arrived. All the wedges outer edges are in a line as straight! as a file of soldiers on dress parade. The ship rests on an entirely new foundation and a. very treacherous one. There are no side’ supports to keep her from toppling over: ‘The toboggan slides are ready for work, and they must be true in their in, clination and in their horizontal po. sition, or the ship ‘will be wrecked | . ‘as she goes: aid down toward the | .. water.
