The next day we went to James Rembert’s. Camp-meeting began here on Wednesday, November 23. Bishop M’Kendree opened the campaign by preaching at seven o’clock from 1 Cor. xv, 48, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast,” etc. A mighty man was Bishop M’Kendree on great occasions: they woke up the giant, and he put forth all his strength. In the afternoon Bishop Asbury preached one of his massive sermons from “Go through, go through the gates, prepare ye the way of the people,” etc. The next day there was preaching by James Jenkins, Morris Mathis, Bishop M’Kendree, and myself. I wrote in my journal: “The Lord was in his word through the day and evening. A general shout in the camp this evening; some powerfully converted.” On Friday there were five sermons, the preachers being Lovick Pierce, Bishop Asbury, Henry Boehm, James Jenkins, and I again at night. There were forty tents and cabins. It being very late in the season they had fireplaces in the tents, so the people kept very comfortable. The meeting was held late in the year, not only because the people were in the spirit of camp-meetings, but also to have the presence of two bishops. There was a cabin neatly fitted up with its chimney and fireplace for the bishops. In regard to the result of this meeting Bishop Asbury says: “There was a powerful work among white saints and sinners, and the poor oppressed, neglected Africans.” And Bishop Capers says: “The camp-meeting was one of the best I have ever known.” I had attended four camp-meetings in the West, and this was the first in the South.
