Bishop Asbury seems to have been
little in Prince Edward. He must
have passed through the county on
some Of his journeys to the South.
Perhaps the Methodist Church was
not strong i'm Prince Edward county
during the eighteenth century. Be
fore 1916 John Early, while presiding
elder. of the Meherrin District, held a
famous camp meeting at Prospect.
at - said that in seven days one
thousand persons professed CONVEX
sion"
Speaking Of his rides through the
country lying on the Meherrin river,
/ Bishop Asbury says: "In this country
I have to lodge half my nights in
lofts. where light may be seen in a
hundred places, and the cold wind at
the same time blowing through as
many"
A few days before his death On
1916. Bishop Asbury held an interest
ling talk with Bishop Moore, the Sc
cond Bishop Of the Diocese Of Virginia
The incident furnishes a commentary
on the religious status Of Virginia al
ter revolution. "a man who had beer
Wesleyan preacher in England, anc
afterward in this country, had come
from the South seeking admission int

his intention and determined to pu

this unworthy applicant. He there

Hampden-Sidney College.


March Is, 'O7.
There is much talk both here and all
over the State, about the proposed
Richmond University, and the posi-
bility Of the College being lost In it,
and to this part Of the country. There
are many arguments brought forward
by the friends Of the College to prove
that it would be an unhealthy move
for old Hampden-Sidney. What we
want to know is, why don't some OF
the friends Of the College come forward
and try to raise money TO add TO It's
equidment SO that there can be no rea-
son for discussing the move? ! am
told that this is the strong argument
that the friends of the University are
bringing up "that the College is fall
ing so far behind other institutions In
equipments, and there seems no way
TO endow il. In our very midst there
are men who have the means, and
who have influence with other money.
ed men, and if they love the College
II they love the county and soulhsid'
Virginia, now is the time for them t.
prove it. 1t is said that one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars
would give US all that is needed II
we know that having the College in
our midst is a good thing and we wan
to hang on to it, we have certainly go'
to work for it, and TO work agains
mighty odds, too. We are trusting
that the men who can will proven
this stupendous wrong being done u.
