00:10:47,140 The year was 1885, and Sam Jones preached 206 00:10:47,140 --> 00:10:51,520 a crowded, overflowing tents of 10,000 hearers, 207 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,820 which means one out of every five in 208 00:10:54,820 --> 00:10:56,220 Nashville heard him. 209 00:10:56,580 --> 00:10:59,800 The entire city was alarmed and gripped with 210 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,480 revival. 211 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,920 As a preacher, Sam Jones knew how to 212 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,420 hold his crowd in the palms of his 213 00:11:06,420 --> 00:11:07,000 hands. 214 00:11:07,580 --> 00:11:10,380 The South was still healing from the Civil 215 00:11:10,380 --> 00:11:14,240 War, and Sam Jones began his meeting with 216 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:15,640 the following story. 217 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,960 General John Bell Hood was watching with anguish 218 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:26,080 as the Union forces, entrenched in a fort 219 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,720 near a locust grove, rained fire upon the 220 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,300 faltering Confederates. 221 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,000 Twice General Hood sent his adjutant to generals 222 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:40,500 in the field, presenting his compliments and asking 223 00:11:40,500 --> 00:11:41,560 for the fort. 224 00:11:42,060 --> 00:11:45,140 Twice he was told that the officers had 225 00:11:45,140 --> 00:11:45,640 fallen. 226 00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:50,260 The third time Hood instructed the adjutant to 227 00:11:50,260 --> 00:11:53,940 present his love to General Cockrell and ask 228 00:11:53,940 --> 00:11:55,860 for the fort in the locust grove. 229 00:11:56,420 --> 00:12:00,680 General Cockrell, straightened himself on the saddle, cast 230 00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:04,080 his bright eye down the line and said, 231 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:08,820 First Missouri Brigade, attention, and dropped his finger 232 00:12:08,820 --> 00:12:11,820 on the fort, and they charged, with a 233 00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:15,220 fearful loss, on that fort, and captured it, 234 00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:16,800 and silenced the guns. 235 00:12:17,500 --> 00:12:21,100 Then Sam Jones looked over the vast assembly, 236 00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:24,920 and with a choked voice said, Brethren of 237 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,700 Nashville, at this hour an Adjutant General of 238 00:12:30,700 --> 00:12:34,300 the Lord Jesus Christ, I point my finger 239 00:12:34,300 --> 00:12:37,800 at the Citadel of Sin in Nashville, and 240 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,760 I tell you that my Lord and Savior 241 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,860 presents you all his love, and he asks 242 00:12:44,860 --> 00:12:49,100 at your hands this fort that is desolating 243 00:12:49,100 --> 00:12:50,860 so many hearts. 244 00:12:51,620 --> 00:12:55,360 Well, when Sam Jones called upon all to 245 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,360 stand who wanted God to have the victory, 246 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,660 the people rose to their feet with tears 247 00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:03,240 streaming down their faces. 248 00:13:04,220 --> 00:13:07,900 But the most sensational element of that revival 249 00:13:07,900 --> 00:13:10,800 was one of its most famous converts. 250 00:13:11,460 --> 00:13:15,640 He was a notorious riverboat captain who ran 251 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,560 and owned a fleet of steamboats on the 252 00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:19,620 Cumberland River. 253 00:13:19,620 --> 00:13:24,100 They were floating gambling halls and liquor taverns. 254 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,760 Tom Ryman was a figure of mythic proportions 255 00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:28,500 in Nashville. 256 00:13:29,220 --> 00:13:33,040 He owned thirty-five steamboats that carried cargos 257 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,840 of cotton and booze and dancing girls that 258 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,760 entertained in those floating ornate gambling casinos. 259 00:13:41,500 --> 00:13:43,900 It was said of Tom Ryman that he 260 00:13:43,900 --> 00:13:47,640 was a swinging soul who ran floating dens 261 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:48,460 of iniquity. 262 00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:52,060 He was called Steamboat Ryman, and he came 263 00:13:52,060 --> 00:13:55,520 to see one of Sam Jones' meetings to 264 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,460 protect his liquor business. 265 00:13:58,140 --> 00:14:00,760 Jones that night preached a sermon on the 266 00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,940 devil's brew and the rascals who served it. 267 00:14:04,460 --> 00:14:06,180 Jones hit hard for an hour and a 268 00:14:06,180 --> 00:14:06,780 half. 269 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,980 Well, this combination of accusation and entreaty was 270 00:14:11,980 --> 00:14:14,920 too much for Tom Ryman, who walked up 271 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,500 to the platform leaning heavily on his cane. 272 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:21,580 As he got up alongside of Sam Jones, 273 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:24,720 he announced to the crowd who knew him 274 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:29,100 so well, I came here for the purpose 275 00:14:29,100 --> 00:14:32,180 stated by Mr. Jones, and he is with 276 00:14:32,180 --> 00:14:34,540 me with the gospel of Christ. 277 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:37,740 Well, Ryman gave his heart to God and 278 00:14:37,740 --> 00:14:41,180 his allegiance to Sam Jones, building him a 279 00:14:41,180 --> 00:14:44,620 large auditorium in Nashville to preach in. 280 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,240 That building still stands today as the mother 281 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,060 of the Church of Country Music, the Ryman 282 00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:53,080 Auditorium. 283 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:58,300 Tom Ryman's old corrupt life was miraculously transformed. 284 00:14:58,820 --> 00:15:01,360 He converted his saloon on the wharf into 285 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,400 the Sam Jones Hall, and he hired a 286 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:07,900 minister for the steamboat men and gamblers and 287 00:15:07,900 --> 00:15:10,860 drunkards who washed up on the river bank. 288 00:15:11,340 --> 00:15:14,320 And for the next 20 years, two wagons 289 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,820 were a familiar sight to the people of 290 00:15:16,820 --> 00:15:17,300 Nashville. 291 00:15:18,020 --> 00:15:22,140 One wagon was filled with food, medicine, and 292 00:15:22,140 --> 00:15:23,640 clothing for the poor. 293 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,300 The other carried the good news of the 294 00:15:26,300 --> 00:15:30,660 gospel into the neighborhoods without churches, and it 295 00:15:30,660 --> 00:15:34,040 was equipped with its choir, organ, and pulpit. 296 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,720 When Tom Ryman died of a carriage wreck 297 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,660 in 1904, Sam Jones addressed 4,000 people 298 00:15:42,660 --> 00:15:45,720 who attended the funeral, and it was held 299 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,880 in the Ryman Auditorium. 300 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,500 The revival that gripped Nashville under Sam Jones 301 00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:55,180 was powerful and long-lasting. 302 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,980 It literally transformed the life of the town, 303 00:15:59,140 --> 00:16:01,520 and that's what revival does, friends. 304 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,880 Well, this concludes our session today. 305 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:07,700 We will prepare for session 10.
