ALLEN C. LEE BIBLE COLLECTION
In 1980, retired United Methodist minister Rev. Allen C. Lee donated his collection of almost 250 different Bibles (see list below), the oldest of which dates from 1684, to Davis Memorial Library. A letter written by Rev. Lee in November 1979 says that he was working on notes about each translation, but no such notes are part of the collection. He died four months later, so it is possible that the notes were never finished, or, if they were, they were not included with the Bibles when they were donated.

Rev. Lee's In Memorium was published in the Journal of the North Carolina Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church, 1981, p. 244-246. The PDF file and transcription below are presented as they appeared in the journal.
In June 2022 Rev. Lee's family submitted the following corrections:
- Rev. Lee's memorial service was conducted at Trinity UMC in Red Springs, not at Thyme Memorial.- The middle name of the family members is Murrie, not Mernie.
- The correct text of the poem Into the Sunset is as follows:
Let me die, working.
Still tackling plans unfinished, tasks undone!
Clean to its end, swift may my race be run.
No laggard steps, no faltering, no shirking;
Let me die, working!
Let me die, thinking.
Let me fare forth still with an open mind,
Fresh secrets to unfold, new truths to find,
My soul undimmed, alert, no question blinking;
Let me die, thinking!
Let me die, laughing.
No sighing o'er past sins; they are forgiven.
Spilled on this earth are all the joys of heaven;
Let me die, laughing!
[Archivist's note: The fourth stanza (Let me die, giving.") printed in the Journal does not appear to be part of the original poem and its source is unidentified.]
ALLEN C. LEE 1903-1981
Allen C. Lee was born November 25, 1903 in Dunn, North Carolina. He was blessed with the love and fellowship of a large family. There he grew and increased in wisdom and statue and in favor with God and man until he went off to college. His education was received at Asbury College and Princeton Theological Seminary. Along with his beautiful and competent bride Mildred, he pastored with distinction, love and commitment the following churches: Hatteras, 1932; Fairfield, 1934; Pasquotank, 1936; Scotland Neck, 1940; Red Springs, 1944; Louisburg, 1948; Durham: Calvary, 1951 ; Hamlet: First UMC, 1954; Farmville, 1958; Wilmington: Trinity, 1962, Roanoke Rapids: Rosemary, 1966; St. Pauls, 1968; Associate Lumberton: Chestnut Street, 1969-74.
Recently Allen was presented the President's Medallion when he gave the graduation address at Methodist College. The President Dr. Richard W. Pearce said of Allen in the Presentation: "Into a world of beauty, you have injected on energy and curiosity. Little in this mortal life escapes your watchful eye; not religious books of rare vintage nor recipes of gourmet dishes; not books of poetry nor music of the violin; not gravestone epitaphs nor garden plants. You are a connoisseur of tangible life, sifting through to the beauty of all things."
Allen Lee was a Christian Scholar. He was so sure of the reality of God that he had no fear that further inquiry could uncover anything less than discover more proof of God's reality and truth. God's people have always been called "The People of the Book". That described Allen. He loved the Bible more than anyone I have ever known and spent a life time studying it. His private collection of English translations of the Bible was one of the best private collections in this country. Recently he gave this valuable collection to Methodist College so that persons in Eastern North Carolina would be inspired to do serious Bible study. He included with this collection his careful notes and research on each translation so as to make it more meaningful. Allen shared his love and understanding of the Scripture with me and so many other ministers. There was a "childlike" quality demonstrated in his curiosity and pursuit of truth and knowledge. He walked so much in the "Light of revelation and enlightenment" that his countenance glowed and his smile cast a warmth over everyone he met.
Twelve years ago Allen gave me Young's poem, Into the Sunset, that he said expressed his attitude of life and death:
Let me die working! Still tackling plans finished, tasks undone. Clean to its end, swift may my race be run. No laggard steps; no faltering; no shrinking! Let me die working!
Let me die working! Let me fare forth still with an open mind, Fresh secrets to unfold, new truth to find; My soul undimmed, alert, no question blinking. Let me die working!
Let me die laughing! No sighing o'er past sins; they are forgiven. Spilled on this earth are all the joys of heaven; Let me die working!
Let me die giving! The substance of life for life's enriching; Time, things, and self on heaven converging. No selfish thought, loving, redeeming, living. Let me die giving!
Allen was a lover of all God made. Many people have been unable to love God because they could not love or accept all that God had made, but Allen loved all God made! Consequently, he loved astronomy, poetry and everything that praised God's creation. He had a special love and interest in people. This was reflected in his enthusiastic inquiry about every person he met. He wanted to know where you came from, to whom you were kin, etc. Allen was a sincere effort to find a closer relation between you and him. Allen gave me the best definition I ever heard of Social Concerns when he defined it as "your pain in my heart." But most of all, Allen loved God and was true to Him and served Him all his years. His love and expert knowledge of astronomy was inspired by his admiration of the vastness of God's creation. He loved the translation of John 14:2, "In my Father's universe there are many worlds, and I am going to prepare a place for you; if it were not so, I would not have told you."
On April 7, 1981, Allen "dropped his body" and his spirit moved on out into the further realms of what God had created for him. His memorial service was conducted at Thyme Memorial Church in Red Springs by his pastor, Al Morris, Reverend Clyde Dunn and myself, James H. Bailey.
He is survived by his wife, Mildred Mernie Lee, two sons, Lloyd Mernie Lee and Thomas Allen Lee, and one granddaughter, Elizabeth Mernie Lee; and four brothers and two sisters.
Allen's hope of the future can best be summed up with the words of an unknown poet:
"The stars look down on the ocean, the stars look down on the sea. The stars shall shine for a million years, a million years and a day. But Christ and I shall live and love when even the stars have passed away."
-- James H. Bailey
