77 became one of the most influential members on the charge. He was steward and Sunday-school superintendent, and although he had a large practice, he never failed to be at Sunday-school and church. He died young, beloved by all the people. James Edwin Moore, a prominent lawyer of Williamston, was converted in the meeting. His father was a Primitive Baptist preacher, and he joined his father's church. Some people in the community were so prejudiced against the meeting that they would not go to it, but became so awakened that they sought the Lord in their homes, and were happily converted. It was a great work of grace and revolutionized the community. The most extensive revival of the year was at Bethel Church in Pitt County. The revival began the third Sunday in August, and the people came for miles around. We built an arbor, and preached under it for three weeks, morning and night. There were as many as three thousand who attended the services, and fully five hundred were converted. At the close of the meeting, I raised two thousand dollars to build a new church there, and we erected what at that time was the best church in the county. At this meeting people fell helpless under conviction, and some had to be hauled home in this condition. The remarkable thing about it was, those who were most opposed to the meeting were the most powerfully convicted. I remember one old lady who made it a rule to abuse the Methodists. She came to the meeting out of curiosity, and was stricken speechless, and remained in that condition until she was converted. She joined the Methodist Church and continued a consistent member until the day of her death. There was a Dr. James, at whose house I usually stopped, who claimed not to believe in the work at all. One night I saw him back in the congregation, and I went to him and asked him to go and examine a man who was strangely affected. He said, "No, I cannot go." I said to him, "I do not understand the case, and I want to see if you can explain it to me." He still refused. I asked him why he would not go, and he said, "I am afraid I shall get in the same fix myself." I could not get him to investigate the case. His wife was soundly converted and joined the church. The doctor was a good
78 friend to me, and subscribed liberally to build the new church, but never gave his heart to God. He talked infidelity until I think he persuaded himself to believe his infidel talk. He was a goodhearted, generous man; kind to everybody, but an unbeliever to the last. His case convinced me that a man may, by persistent impenitence, destroy the work of grace in his heart, and put himself beyond the reach of repentance and faith. He lived to a good old age, and died just as he had lived, with no evidence of acceptance with God, and no hope of a better life. Yours truly, L.L.Nash L. L. Nash 1875·1877
