Books and Periodicals. To ·rnE BISHOP AND MEMBERS OF THE ANNUAL CONFERENCE:

DEAR BRETHREN:-We, your Committee on Books and Periodicals, beg to make the following report:

We congrntulate the managf\ts of the Publishing House at Nashville, Tenn., and the Church whose .institution it is, upon the prosperous condition of its affairs . Its sales, as well as its assets, are largely in excess of last year, and it has a good -\vorking capital with which to do business. We regret to learn, however, that there is a loss to the House on two most important publications, viz., The Methodist Review and the Epworth Era. Brethren, this ought not to be so. They are both excellent periodicals, full of the best thought and research in their respective fields. We a.re unpleasantly surprised by the informa.tion that the Epworth Era is ,being supplanted to some .extent by other publications professing to cover the same ground, but issued by other denominations a.nd sometimes containing sentiments .obnoxious to us. Our ]Jipworth Leaguers a.nd their friends owe it to themselves and to their Church to give their own literature the preference over all others, especia.lly when it is inferior to none in contents and make up. Let us rally, as loyal Methodists, to these, our own products, and do all in our power to increase their circulation and efficiency for good.

We further urge upon our brethren that they use our own Sunday School literature in preference to any o.ther, particularly when it is of the best quality and of reasonable cost. This is due to ourselves and to those interests we are bound to promote. We also commend to the most liberal pa.tronage of our brethren the general organs of the Church, the Christian Advocate and the Review of Missions, both indispensable in their respective departments.

In this connection we heartily commend the faithful and efficient work done by our Conference Col porter, Rev . R. H. Barnett, and request our brethren to make their purchases through him.

We find that our own Flonda Christian Advocate is worthy of a much larger patronage than it receives. Its editorials are of the best quality, both in matter and spirit, and the material contributed to its columns by others, nuder his wise discretion, is usually excellent and satisfactory to the Church. Its loyalty to our doctrines and traditions is most commendable. Recognizing the Advocate us our


·organ, which is to defend the doctrines and npholcl in all things the policy of our Church, we solicit for it that loyal support and liberal patronage it deserves.

We earnestly beg our brethren to procure for themselves, and for their children, the literature issued by our Publishing House at Nashville, the titles aud prices of which may be obtained from our Colporter, and thereby counteract, as far as possible, the trashy and pernicious literature sown broadcast over om' state, to the ruin of the bodies and souls of our young people, in many cases who fall, ·oftentimes·, easy victims to its blighting influence.

In conclusion, we beg to append to this report that of the editor of the Advocate, and recommend its serious perusal and careful consideration by tho3e to whom it is addressed, and by others who ought to be interested in its con-tents. Respectfully snbmit.tecl,

E. A. HARRISON, Chm. W. H. F. RoBARTS, Sec.

Florida Christian Advocate. 'To ~~HE BISHOP AND MEMBERS 'OF TI-IE FLORIDA ANNUAL

CONFERENCE: D1DAR BRETHREN:-As the editor and publisher of the

Florida Christian Advocate, which is your property and organ, I make this my thirteenth annual report to your body, rejoicing that God has brought us through another year and granted strength for work and ulessings of Providence and grace for enjoyment.

The Advocate has never missed an issue, except during Christmas week, when the printers take their annual holiday. Everything has risen in price and made the expenses uf the office much greater, and many subscrihers have failed to pay, but the paper has paid i1 sway and is free from debt. The ne-0essity for making out this report in time for this issue of the paper renders it necessary to count to December 1st as the end of the Advocate fiscal year, and we report the total of receipts from all sources $2891.U, and the total of expenses $2420.10, making a balance for editor's salary of $471.24 for the year.

This is a very small compensation for the whole time and work of your se1·vant, who has resorted to no other means of support, but given all to God in your service. But there has come the evidence of God's blessing on the paper, making it the means of converting, edifying, comforting, encouraging, strengthening and removing difficulties; and this makes my compensation very large and precious.

The managemout of tho paper has not given entire satis-


faction to every one, because of two facts: First, I cannot see and think as every one does, but J have acted in all things according to my best judgment in the fear and love of God, after careful consideration and earnest pmyer for Divine guidance. I have done what I was convinced was the very best for the cause of Christ. Second, some wish the editor to visit all parts of our field and persona]]y work up the interests of the paper and preach to the i)eople.. 'l'hat would be an excellent . plan, if I could carry it out, but it cannot be done by any one without sacrificing the character of the paper or disabling the man who tries it. I have tried it sufficiently to know that, and once came very nearly killing myself in making the experiment. The making of such a paper as we need requires the time. of an editor every week in the year, and his attendance at District Conferences and the Annual Conference is as much absence from his office as should be required of him. But a much inferior paper does not call for such close attention, and that would not give satisfaction.

Although the time for whicl1 I was last elected has not expired, I wish to say to the Conference that I do not wish that to be in the way of any change that may be desired. My free and full consent is hereby given to the selection of another in my place. Self must not stand in the way of the general good. I sincerely want God's will done, whatever it may be, and I will stand aside if you so desire.

Respectfully submitted, J. ANmDRsoN.

Church Extension. To ·rBE PRESIDEN'l' AND MEMBF1Rs Ol!' 'J:HE FLORIDA ANNUAL

total of $11,419.60, and has contributed to the Loan Funds $37.56, making a total of $11,457.16. We have received, in the bounds of our Conference: Donations, $27,831.00, and loans, $20,600.00, making total received $48,431.00; more than four dollars for every one contributed. Add to our contributions the sum of $404. 52 for the present year, and the total from our Conference for the 18 years reaches a total of $11,824 12 to General Board. The total Loan Fund administered by the General Board has reached the sum of $182,933.14, being a net increase of $9,011.60 during the past year, yet calls are more numerous for loans than can be met by the Board. During the brief history of this Board 4,461 churches have been aided by donations amounting to $811,241.00 and loans amounting to$345,760,00, making a total of $1,157.02. There are still in our connection 3,584 societies without houses of worship, and many others need to build new and bettor than they have now. Our General Board has agreed to make special efforts to raise the sum of $15,000 for the reln1ilcling of our church in Galveston, Texas, which was wrecked by the disastrous storm. In the bounds of onr own C6nference the past year we have raised, for distribution by our Conference Board, the sum of $404.52, being an increase of $70.38 . Previous collections and donations by Conference Board amount to $11,4Hl.60, making total of of $11,824 .12. We have granted donations this year as follows :

Finally we would call attention of this Conference to the fact thitt sixty pe1· cent. is the average amount collected on the small assessment in our conference. Demands npon us call for a much larger fund t.ban you place at our disposal. Apalachicola has suffered severely by a clisastrons fire, and our clmrch building was swept away. We need special help to meet thefr needs .

Sunday ScJ1001. Many, but not all, of the charges have observed Chil

·drens' Day ·with appropriate exeTCises. These clays are growing in favor with our Sunday Schools, and yield a fund much needed in some parts of our territory.

We heartily favor the holding of District Slmda.y School Conferences, as they result in increased zeal in teachers and superintendents and knowledge of best methods of work.

As good singing is the life of the Sunday School we recommend the Yolmg People's Hymnal as suitable for use in our Sunday Schools. Also the use of Sunday School literature published by our own House,

The organization of Union Schools is to be discouraged, as they lead to confusion and strife.

We note with satisfaction that the General Board reports an increase in pupils and schools . However, the reports from the various charges of the Florida Conference show a net decrease for the year: No. of schools , 266; No. ·of officers and teachers, 1,704; No. of pupils, 12,642.

Epworth Leagues. The report of the General Secretary shows gratifying

progress . Five hundred and seventy-seven new Leagues have been chartered, with an increase in membership of 24,·670. The present membership of the Leagues is 251,785.

The League Reading Course is more widely circulated than ever before, the increase being nearly fifty per cent. over last year.

We regret to learn that tho Epworth Era is not paying

M. E. CHURCH, SOUTI-L 27

···expenses. It deserves a wider circulation, and seems essential to the training of om young people.

We urge that the pastors use their Leagues in securing any deficits which may occur in the Conference collections. It will not only increase the collections, but train our young people in the grace of liberality. The "Holston Plan" has worked well ancl might be adopted to good advantage. The Tampa District haR given a practical illustrtttion of its utility.

We further recommend that our Presiding Elders, in consultation with the District Chairman, hold, in connection with the District Co11fernnce, an Epworth League Conference.

W. M. PoAGE, Chairman.

'J'em perance. Your Committee recognizes the impotency of Confer

ence resolutions to stem the tide of corruption flowing from the legalized traffic in strong drink, yet desires to restnte tho position of this body, representing, as it does, more than 20,000 Methouist citizenR of the state of Florida.

The liquor traffic is still the great power for evil in all the land, the blight of domestic happiness, the dcgrallation of manhood, the damnation of souls; tho corrupter of cities, the overthrower of political integrity, the nullifier of the laws of the laud; and

WHEREAS, God's holy word has pronounced woo upon .tbe drunkard and upon the drunkard-maker, and

WHEREAS, Our disipline speaks ]Jlainly against the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, and against any participation in its manufacture or sale, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, 1st, That we will pray, labor, and vote for the overthrow of the saloon, whether legalized or of other sort.

REsoLv1m, 2cl, That we will emphasize the teaching of our church on this matter, and clo all iu our power to edu

·cate the public conscience against the traffic. RESOLVED, 3rd, That we will hLbor for the enforce

ment of our present laws against the sale of cigarettes to boys or for boys. HowARD Du'l'ILL, Sec'y.

Sabbatll Observance. Your Committee on Sabbath Observance, believing tlrn

·Christian Sabbath to be a sacred and holy institution intende<l for all mandkind, and in all ages to be used for man's ·spiritual and moral growth, note with sadness the growing tendency in some sections, especially in our larger towns


and cities, to neglect the sn.cred use and even desecrate this holy day, by recreation and business, would affirm our unqualified conviction to be that t11e Sabbath must be preserved as God's Word teaches, and as our Church has always· held and as history has testified, and that we, as a Conference, do defend, by word and example, the day as set apart for holy purpoees, and that we discourage and oppose any efforts which may bring the Sabbath into misuse and destroy its power in our communities. vVe recommend that the ministers preach upon this subject and warn the people against the growing evil; that they encourage all proper means and agents which are being used and working to this great end. We especially recognize the wo:rk of the Sunday League of America, represented at this session of our Conference by Edward Thomson, L. L . n., of Athmta, Ga., its agent, and that we co-operate with this inter-denominational organization in its efforts to preserve the old tried American type of Sunday. We learn that Dr. Thomson has arranged to devote the month of January next to this state, and having examined some of the literaturn and methods used by him, we believe it advisable to assist and encourage him 1.u this work, so far as possible, by co-opernting with him in public meetings and by ciTculating the Twentieth Century Series of Sunday League Leaflets.

Bible Cause. The American Bible Society has done ancl is cloing a

great work for God's cause; and is not only helpful, but ne- . cessary to the work of our particular church . Besides the supplying of our own people with the "\iV ord, it has done nn incren,sing work in foreign fields. The amount of $Hl2,000 has been expended by the society in foreign fields. Notwithsfonding this fact, tb income of the society has decreased from $100,000 in gifts nnd $176,000 in legacies for 1899, to $95,000 in gifts ancl $56,000 in legacies for 1900.

It is evident that unleRs the church ralhes to this cause aud the preachers bring the matter prominently before the people, this great iustitution must abridge its open•tions, and tbe nee~ly millions stl•rving for lack of the \VoTcl go unfed. From the twenty thouRand of Florida Methodists during this yea.r only $108.31 for the A1uerican Bible Society has been paid.

In view of the importance of this work, t l1e genernl irnglect of its cln.ims, aud onr owu responsibi lity ancl privilege in relation to it,

11£. E. CHURCH, SOUTII. 29

REBOLVED, That this Conference r equest t he preachers to bring this c laim to th e attention of evel'y congregation and take a collection for t1rn American Bible Society in it.

CONFERENCE MEMOIRS.

Wi1liam C. Collins.

Rev. William C. Collins was born in Brownsville, Tenn., Oct. 6, 1837, and was called to his reward in hen,ven from Salem church, in Gadsden county, Fla., Nov. 8, 1900.

Brother Collins wn,s converted in his twelfth year, and was admitted on trin,l in the East Texas Conference when 20 years of age, in the year 1857. He was married to Mrs. Perryman the 23d of December, 1864, with whom he lived happily until separated by death. Four children-three sons and one daughter- survive their fathe1·, to be a stay and comfort to their lonely mother in her declining years.

Brother Collins was a member of the East Texas Conference for seven teen years, and of the West Texas Conference two years, from which be transferred to the Florida Conference in the year 1875. The minutes show that he labored in the following fields while a member of the Florida Conference: Leon, 1876 to 1877 ;· Columbia, 1878; Waukeenah, 1879; Madison, 18SO, 1881 and 1882; Sumter, 1883 and 1884; Marion, 1885 and 1886; Anthony, 1887; Blue Springs, 1888; Cedar Grove, 1889; Lady Lake, 1890 and 1891; Sumter, 1892 and 1893; Bowling Green, 1894and 1895; Newnansville, 1896; Waukulla, 1897 and 1898; Concord, 1899and1900. From the above appointments it will be seen that our departed brother did a gl"eat deal of hard work without any hope of earthly reward; having never possibly in his entire ministry received much above a mere living. Yet uncomplainingly he went forward until he :finished the work with joy that wns given him to do.

M. E. CHURCH,, SOUTH.

The unanimous testimony of his brethren is that he was a man of great sweetness of spirit, gentleness of manners, of entire devotion to his ministerial duties, and wholly devoted to God.

After groaning for years to be made perfect in love, he entered into that blissful experience.

The thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians was his ideal of Ch1·istian character, and be rea,lized his ideal as few men have clone. The writer has seen him when his face fairly shone with light from the upper world. He was a faithful, earnesi and succeflsful preacher of the Gospel.

There is mnch to be desired in the manner and, time and place of his passing away. On the Sabbath, and in the house of Goel, where he had eo often preached Christ and Him crucified, wit,h only a few moments of pain, ''he ceased at once to work and live." It is still true our people, and, I will add, our preachers, die well .

What a transition for our brother from the toils and hardl!!hips of earth to happiness and holiness in heaven!

"Oh, may we t1·iumph so, When all our warfarti's past,

And dyiug, :find our late~t foe, Undt1r our feet at last."

A. Johnson. Rev. A. Johnson was born near Savannah, Ga.,

March 18, 1822, and departed this life at Live Oak, Fla, January 2, 1900. While yet 11 child, his parents moved to Appling county, Georgia, and while there his father died, leaving a widow and six children dependent upon him. From this time the support of the family fell upon his boyish shoulders, but nobly did he meet the responsibility. From Appling county h e removed to Thomas county, Georgia.

Embracing religion at an early age, he grew in

grace and usefulness. The Church,., recogmzmg his sterling worth, conferrred upon him the work of an exhorter. In this field of Christian activity he continued for several years until his removal to West Florida, when, in 1856, he was received on trial in the Florida Conference. He was ordained deacon and elder in 1858. In 1860 he wae married to Miss Martha Bachlott.

His health becoming enfeebled, he took a superannuated relation in 1867 or 1868, and moving to Live Oak, he began farming, which pmsuit he followed to the close of his useful and holy life. In 1874 his wife died, leaving to him the care of eight children, all of whom, save one who died in infancy, he reared in piety and honor, and they now survive him.

Our departed brother possessed many noble traits of character, an abhorrence of debt being very conspicuous. It is said by one of his honored sons that his father never owed but ten cents in bis lifo, and this debt was contracted while he was yet a boy. He lived up to that wisf\ rule of the Discipline: never buying anything on credit, nor countenancing the doing of it by any of his family.

As a preacher, Bro. Johnson was said to have been plain and direct, and while his ministry in the Confel'ence extended over but a few years, the influence of his godly life was as good seed sown in good ground, and it abides until this day. Humble and modest and retiring, one could only know him after long acquaintance. He was one of those men who "grew upon his fellows.'' Al ways and everywhere he stood for the right, and men knew where to find him upon any question agitating the public mind.

Those who knew him intimately avow their perfect confidence in his purity of life. His consistent walk and godly ministrations gave power to his words. Now that he is gone froin us we recognize the void his departure has caused. His end was peaceful: in the blessed hope of a glorious immortality "mildly beamed bis glowing eyes , and gently

heaved his expiring breath," and, lo, he was not, for God took him.

Respectfully submitted, THE COMMITTEE.

Thurlow Bishop. Rev. Thurlow Bishop was born March 22, 1S47,

in Lancaster county, South Carolina, and died at Reddick, Florida, October 23, 1900, having served the Church for 23 years. ·

A strong and noble man has entered upon that rest of which he spoke and sang, and to which he was instrumental in leading many with whom he came. in contact. Smitten by disease in the zenith of his useful and consecrated life, he gathered up his feet and departed for the saints' eternal home October 23, 1900.

Our ascended friend and brother was a manysided man. Beneath a positive and seemingly austere exterior there was a fount of humor which, when called into action, refreshed and irradiated any subject which he might be discussing. Warm and genial to his friends, he was neverthaless a just man. Differing, as he often did, with his brethren, he was never discourteous or unduly insistent in maintaining his opinions, but no man knew how to surrender with greater grace than he. Naturally combative, he was a born gladiator. Had he lived in the days of ancient Rome he would have made his antagonist sue for mercy-and he would have granted it.

In the pulpit he was thoroughly at home. No god of Olympus had such control of thtmderbolts as he when assailing evil. Especially was he remorseless when pursuing tbe licensed liquor traffic, n.nd yet so tender wn.s he that the drunkard felt the warmth of sympathy which welled up in his heart for those thus snared by this great immoral octopus . Original, incisive, eloquent, he swayed the minds of his hearers, and from the preacher's throne dispensed warmth and cheer and comfort to his auditors. I

His Christianity was of the militant type. He was faithful in applying to his own heart the doctrine he preached to others. Faithful and fearless and sincere in doing the work of the minister, his life impressed all who came within the sphere of his influence. His spiritual life was found ed upon the etemal verities of the Gospel, and his confidence was proof against all assaults of evil .

His early educational advantages were meager, but this defect was largely overcome by his ability to utilize the facts of nature and observation . Deftly weaving his thoughts upon any selected theme with skill and spirit, he would advance to a climax which at times seemed irresistibl<i. He deplored the conditions which existed in his childhood and youth, preventing his drinking at Pierian Spring deep draughts of its magical lore. He determined at his conversion to Goel to be a man, and in this purpose be remained steadfast unto the end. He did not achieve all he set himself to accomplish, but he did well all that came to him to be done . Had he enjoyed classical training-with his persistent industry and convinciug eloquence-he would have stood in the high places of Zion and would have been known as a great man. · ·

Many sonows were his: he knew the place and the meaning of Gethsemane. God lovingly comforted him in all his t1·oubles, and he often said he had found the promised grace amply sufficient for every need of his nature. Warm-hearted, impulsive, Thurlow Bishop has entered the veil where death is unknown, and where our Lord's servants behold His face and are like Him.

Respectfully submitted, 'l.'HE COMMITTEE.

Samuel E. Phillips. Rev. Samuel E. Phillips was born in the year

1845, and was admitted on trial into the Florida Conference in December, 1869, at Lake City, and


.................................... m(j

continued a member until December, 1899; thus ·giving thirty years of unbroken .labors to his Ohmch and to its great Head. He was an industrious and conscientious co-worker with Christ in the spread of the Gospel. He served some of the hardest appointments, as well as some of the best, including Gainesville, TaJlahassee, Tampa and Live Oak Dis- I tricts. ·

Brothe.r Philllps was no ordinary preacher. He was a man of firm natural ability ancl of considerable acquired learning. Many of his sermons were of a high order-they were master-pieces of strong, orderly thinking. .

Brother Phillipi'! was a good man, and quite given up to his heavenly calling from the beginning of his ministry, but during the latter part of his life his religious experience was greatly deepened and enriched, so much so that, as observed by his friends, he was an entirely consecratecl man, enjoying the abiding presence of the Comforter. Our learned brother · contemplated re-entering the Conference at this time, having located December, 1899, for which he had been recommendecl by the Live Oak District Conference; but his work was done, and from bis home in Lake City, Fla., after a brief illness, he entered into rest, November 6, 1900.

'' Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them." Ettrnest prayer is solicited for his widow and children .

We are unplonsnntly smprised Ly t.h o in formation t hat the Epworth Ern iR being rnpplantnd to 8omo t?xten t by other publi catious profossing to cover the same ground , hut issued by ot.her cl enmninnt ioD R n.ntl sometimes contaiuiug sentiments ohnnxinns t.o U8. Our Epworth Leaguers n,nd the ir friends owe it to t hemselves allll to their Church tn give t heir nwD liternturu the prefern uce over all others, especially when it is inferior to uono in contents and mnko up. Let us rnlly, its loyitl Methodists, to those, our own products, and do all in our power to iucrrmse their circul ation and efficiency for good .

'vVe further urge upon our brethren that t liey u se our own Sunday School literature in preference to any oth er, ptuticularly when it is of the best quality and of r easonable cost. This is due to ourselves and to those interests we are bound t o promote. We n.J so commend. to the most liberal pn.tronngo of our brethren t he general organs of the Church, the Chri stiitn Advocate~ ttncl the Review of Missions, both indispensable in their respective departments .

In t his connection we hoarl;ily commend the faithful and efri cirmt work do11 e by our Conference Colporter, Rev . R. H. Barnett, and request our brethren to make their purchrLsos through him.

We find thn.t our own li'londa Christian Advocate is worthy of n. much l!trger patronage than it receives . Its otlitoritthi are of the be!:lt qunlity, both in mn,tter and spirit, and the mnterial coutributecl to its columns by others, under his wise discret ion, is usunJly excellent trnd sati sfactory to the Church. Its 1oyiilty to our doctrines and traditions is most commendn.ble. Rncoguizing the Advocate as our

Floricln. Christian Advocate. To 'l ' ETE Brnaor A ND MEM'BERs o F T HE · FLORIDA A NN UAI,

00N1!'ERENCE : DEA.R Bm:'l'Imrrn:-As the edit.or and publisher of the

Florichi Ohrist,ian Advociite , which is your p roperty and or gan, I make this my thirteenth annual report to your body, rejoicing that God has brought us t hrough an other year and gmnted strength for work and lJlessings of Providence and grace for enj oyment.

The Advocate l111s never missed n,n issue, except cluriug Chris tmas week , when the printers talrn their nnnual holiday. Everything hus risen in price and m ade the expenses c•f the office much gren,ter , an rl m i:my suliscrihors hn,ve foil ed to pay, but the p n.per has paid i1 s wn.y nud is free from debt. T1rn necessity for making out this report in t im e for t hi s issue of t he ptiper renders it necessary to count to DecAmber 1st as t he end of the Advocat e fiscal yetn, and we r epor t the totn,l of receipts frOm all sources $2891.34, and th e totnl of expenses $2420.10, making a bala,nce for editor's salary of $471..24 for the year.

This is a, very small compensn,tiuu for the whole t ime and work of your servant, who has resorted to n o oth er means of support, but given all to God in yonr servi ce .. But there has come the evidence of God 's blessing 011 t he paper, mn,king it the means of converting, edifying, comforting, encouraging, strengthening and removing difficulties; and this makes my compensation very hu'."ge and precious.

The management of the paper has not given rm tire satis-

fn ction t.o overy one, because of two facts : First, I caunot see and think ns e\~orv oue does, lmt J have acted in all things accnrcli11g tu my best judgment in the foar and love of God, after cn:refn 1 consitleration iincl onrn est prnyer for Divine guidance . I hnvo done what I wns convinced was the very best for the c1iuse of Christ. Second, some wish the editor to visit all pnrts of our field n.nd personnlly work up the interests of the pnper and preach to t he people. That would he an excellent plu.11, if I could carry it out, but it cannot be done by any one with out !-lacrificing th e character of t.he paper or disabling the man who triBA it.. I lrnve tried it suflicieutly to know t hat, and once cttnie vory iw:il'ly killing myself in making the exporiment. The nrnking of such a paper as we need requires thu time of an editor every week in the yen,r, and his attendnn co at District Couferences and the Annual ConferenCfi is ns mu ch alJsnnce from his office as should be required of him. But a much inferior papm· does not cnll for such close attention, rtnd thatwouldllotgivesatisfaction . .

A I though the time for which I was last elected has not expired , I wish to say to the Conference t hat I do nut wish that t o be in th o way nf tuiy change that may be desired. My free and full consent is hereby given to the selection of .another in my place. Self must not stm1d in the way of the general good. I s incerely mrnt God 's will done, wlrntever it may be, arnl I will stand aside if you so desire.

Epworth Leagues. 'l'he r eport of the Genernl Secretary shows gratifying

progress. Five hundred and sevent.y-seven new Leagues have h,ecn clmrtered, with an. increase in meml~ership of 24 ,-670. rhe prnsent m emberr;lup of the Leagues is 251 ,785.

The League Re11ding Course is more widely cir culated than ever before, the increase being nearly fifty per .cent. over b st ye11r.

We regre t to learn that the Epworth Em is not paying

v\Te urge t h n.t t he pnstors use their Leagues in securing any deficits which may occur in the Conference collections. It will not on ly increase th e collection s , hut trnin.our young people in t he grn.ce of liberality. The "Holston Phu" has worked well and mi gbt be ndoptt1cl to goorl ndvnntage.

'J'empera.nre. Your Committee recognizes tho impotency of Confer

The liquor trnffi.c is s till the grnnt power for evil in all tho land , tlie blight of domestic happiuess, t he degradation of m anhontl , th e tlamnfl,tion of souls; the corrupter of cities , the overthrower of political integrity , the uullifier of the laws of th e laud; and

Sa.bbatlt Observance. Your Committee on Sabbath Observance, believing tlrn

CluiRtian Sabbath to be a sacred and holy iustitution intended for all mandkind, and in all ages to be used for man's spiritual and moral growth , note with sadness the growing ·.tendency iu some sections, especially in our hrger towns

28 FLORIDA ~·LV~VUAL CONFER.ENCE

ancl citi es , to negl ect the sacred use and eve1i desecrate this holy day, hy recre1itii111 and lmsiness , would affirm our unqualified conviction to be that th e Sabbn,th must be preserved as God's ·word teaches, and as our Church hits always hPld :rncl n,s history has testified, and that we, as a Conference, clo defend, hy word and example, the clay as set apart for holy pnrporns , and that we discournge and oppose any efforts which may bring th e Sabbitth into misuse and destroy its power in our communities. Yf.f e recommend that the mi11i fJ ters preach upon this subject and warn the people against the growing evil; t lrnt they encourage all proper meims 1tn11 agents which arc being used ttnd working to this great end. Wo eRpocially recognize th e work of the Suucby Lengue of Americn, represented at this session of our Conforeuee by Edwnrd Thomson, L . L. n., of Atlanta, Ga,., its agen t , and tlrnt we co-opernte with this inter-clenominationn 1 orgnnizntion in its efforts to preserve the old tried Ameriean type of Suncln,y. We lenrn tlrnt Dr. Thomson has armuged to devote th e month of Jnnuary next to th is state, nnd having examined some of the literature and methods. used by him, we believe it n,dvisal)le to assist and encournge him in this work, so for as possible, by co-operating .with him in pnblic meetings and by circnln,ting the Twentieth Century Series of Sunday League Len,flots.

R. V. ATKISSON. Bihle Cause.

The Americnu Bible Society has clone and is cloing a gren,t work for God' s cn,mm; and is not only helpful, but necrssary to th e work of our particular church. Besides th e. supplying of our own people with the \Vorel, it has clone n,u incron.sing work in foreign fields. The amount, of $102,0QQ, has been oxpenrled lJy the society in foreign fields. Not.withstanding this fact., the incom e of the society lrns clecrnased from $100,000 in gifts 11,nd $176 ,000 in l egn,ci es for 1899, to $95,000 in gifts and $5G,OOO in legn,cies for 1900.

It is evident thut unless the ehurch rnllies to this cause n,ucl the preachers bring the matter prominently before the. people, this great inRtitution must abridge its operntions, n,nd the needy millions starving for lu.clc of the w ·orcl go . unfed. From th e twenty thousand of Florida Methodists during this year only $108.31 for th e Arnoric11n Bible Socie- . t.y has been pnid. .

In view of the importance of this work, the gen ernl neg-. loct of its clnims, and our own r esponsibility and privilege. in relation to it , · ·

llI. E. CHURCH, SOUTII, 2H

REBOINED, That this Co11ference request the preachers to bring this clnim to the atteutiou of every congregn,tiou n.nd tn,ke n. collection fo r t he American Bible Society in it.

CONFERENCE MEMOIRS.

William C. Collins.

J{ ev. 'Nilliam C. Collins was born in Brownsvill e, Tenn. , Oct. G, 18H7, and. wn,s cnlJ ed to hi s reward in hoavnu from Std eni church , in G1Ldsclon coun ty, Fln., Nov. 8, 1000.

Brother Collins wns converted in his twelfth year, an d was admitted on trial in the East Texas Conference wh en 20 yea.rs of age, in the ye11r 1857. H e wn s marri ed to Mrs. Perrynuin t he 23cl of December, 1804, with whom he lived happily until separnted by death. F our children-three sous an cl one daughter-survive th eir father , to be a stay a11d comfort to t heir lonely mother in her declining years.

Brother Collins was a member of the East Texas Conference for seventeen years, and of the \ i\T est Texas Conference two years , from which he trnnsferrecl to the Florid1i Conference in the year 1875. The minutes show that he labored in the following fi elds while a memlJer of t he Florida Couference : Leon, 1876 to 1877; Columbia, 1878; \Vaukeen11h, 1879 ; .Madison, 18<30 , 1881 and 1882; Sumter, 1883 11nd 1884; Marion , 1885 ancl 1886; Anthony, 1.887; Blue Springs , 1888; Cedar Grove, 1880 ; Lady Lake, 1890 and 1891 ; Sumter , 1802 and 1803 ; Bowling Green, 1804 rmd 1805 ; Newnansvill e , 18\)(3; Waukulla , 1897 a.nd 1898; Concord, 1899and1900. From t he above nppointrn ents it will be seen t hat our de- • pnrted brother did !L grent deal of hard work without any l1ope of eart;hly reward ; having never possibly in his entire miniAtry recnived much above a m ere living. Yet nncompl11i11ingly he went forward until he finish ed the work wit h joy that was given him to do.

I

11£. E. CHURCH, SOUTH.

The unanimous testimony of his ]Jrethren is that he was a man of great sweetness of spirit., gentleness of manners, o:f entire devotion to his minist erial duties, and wholly devot ed to God.

After groaning for years to he made perfect in love, he entered into that blissful experi ence.

The t lrirtf3e11th chapter of First, Corinthin.11R was his ideal of Ch ris tian clrnmct er, and h e rntdized his ic~eal as :fe,~ men hi~ve done. T~1 e w~~ter !rns seen h11n when bi s face fouly shone with light from the upper world. H e was a faithful , einnest aml suc-cessful preacher of the Gospel . .

Th ere is much to be desired .in the mu.nner and, time and · place of his pn.ssing away. Ou the Sabbn.th , and in tbe house of God, where he had ~o often preached Christ and Him crucified, with only a :few moments of pain, "he ceased at once to work and live.'' It is still true our people, n.nd, I will add, our preiteh ers, die well.

Whn.t a trn,nsition for our brother from the toils and hardrs hips of en.rth to happin ess and holin ess in heaven!

"Oh, may we triumph so, ·when all our warfarci ' s past,

And dyiug, find our late~ t. foe, Und~r otir feet at last."

A. Johnson. R ev. A. Johnson was born near Savannnh, Ga.,

March 18 , 1822, micl departed thi s life tit Live Oak, Fla, Jnnuary 2, 1900. While yet a child, his parents moved to A puling county, Georgia, n.ncl while there his father died, leaving a widow ancl six children dependent upon him. From this time the support of the family :fell upon his boyish shoulders, but nobly did he m eet the responsibility. From Appling county he removed to Thomas county, Georgia.

Embracing religion n.t an enrly age, he grew in

grnce and usefuln ess. Tho Church, recog01zmg his sterling worth, couferrred upon him the work of au exhorter. Iu this field 0£ Christian activity he conti n nod for seveml years until his removal to West Florida , when, in 1856, ho was receiveu on trial in the Floridti Conference. H e was ordn,ined deacon n,nd eld m· in 1858. Iu 1860 he was nrnrriod to Miss l\fortlrn Jheh Iott.

His lwaJ th lrnenmiug eufeehled, he t ook a supernnnua tei1' relatioa in 1867 or 1868, n,nd moving to Livr. Oitk , ho l;egan fanning, "'hich pursuit he followed to t,!10 close of his use ful and holy life. In 1874 hiH wife diecl, le1wing to ]Jim the c1tre of eight children , nll of 11' ]10111 , save on e who died in infancy, he reure<l in pi ety awl honor, and they now survive him. ·

Our departed brother possessed u11rny noble tntits of chnrncter , an n, hhorrence of debt being very conspi cuou s. It is siticl by one of hi s honored son s that his f:tLher n ev<~ r owed but t en cents in his lifo , 1llld t his debt ,; ns contmcted whi le he was yet a boy. H e li\'eu up to t lrnt wisf'rule of th e Discip lin e : never lmying any thing ou credit , uor countenancing the doing of it hy any of his family.

As a pre:1chor, Bro .. Johnson was s1iid to have boon plain rrnd direct, n,ntl while his miuistry iu the Conference extended. over but a few years , the influence of his godly life was as good sfl ed sown in good ground , nnd it abides until this day. Humble and modes t and ret iring, on e could only know him ttfter long acqtrninta11ce. H e. was one of those men who ''grew upon hi s fellows.'' Always au cl · everywhere he Htoou for tlrn right 1 and men knew where to find him upon n,uy question ngitating the public mind.

Those who ku ew him intimately twow their perfect confhfonce in his purity of life . His consistent walk and godly miuistrntions gave power to his words. Now thnt be is gone from us we recognize the void his departure hits caused. His end was peaceful: iu the blessed hope of a glorious immor-

~ity "mildly beamed his = ing eyes, and gently

'l'Jrnrlow Bishop. Rev. Thurlow Bishop wus born March 22, 1847,

in Ln,n caster cou nty, South Cttroli1rn, nnd died at Reddick , Florida, October 23, 1900, having served the Church for 23 years.

A strong antl noble mnn h tts entered upon that rest of which he spoke and snng, nncl to which he . was instrumental in leading many. wit.h whom he came in contact. Smitten by disease in the zenith of his useful and consecrateu life, he gnthered up his feet a nd depi:utecl for the saints' eternal home October 23, HJOO.

Our ascendell friend and brother was a nurnysided m1tll. Beneath a positive n,ud seemingly austere exterior t here was n, fount of humor which , when called iuto action, refreshed n,ml irralliateclany subject which he might he discussing. \Vann and genial to his friends, he was neverth eless a just man. Differing, as he often did, with his brethren , he was never lliscourteous or unduly insist ent in maintaining his opinions, but 11 0 man knew how to surrender with greater grace than he. Naturally combative, he was a born glttdiator . Had h e lived in the clays of ancient Rome he would have made his antagonist sue for mercy-and he would have grnnted it.

In the pulpit he wtts thoroughly at home. No god of Olympus had such control of thunderbolts as h e when assailing evil. Especially was he remorseless when purs1iing tbe licensed liquor traffic, and yet so t ender was he that the drunkard felt t he warmth of sympathy which welled up in h is heart for those thus snn,red by this great immora,l octopus . Original, incisive , eloquent, he sw1iyec1 the minds of his hearers, imcl from the preacher's thron e ·dispensecl warmth and cheer and comfort to his auditors .

His Hpiritunl li fo wns found ed upon the et;or,rnl veri t ies of t ho Gospe l, and his con fid ence was pruof nga i11 st all nssnults of evil.

His e11dy odncnti01rnl advnntnges wore m enger , but t l1i s fl efoct; wns l11rgely overco me by his ability to nt-.ifoe tho facts of 1rnt111·!'.' 11nd observation. Deft ly wen.villg his t houg hts upou any selected theme with skill ancl spirit, 110 would advance t o a clinrnx which at t imes soe mecl irresistibl '3 . He deploretl th e conditions which existed in his childhood and youth , preventing his drinking 11t Pierian Spring deep drnught,s of its nrngical lore. H e determined at his conversion to God to be a nrnn , tmd in thi s purpose he remain ed stoitdfost un to t he end. H e did not achieve· all he set himself to accomplish, but h e did well al l that ea me to him to he doue . Had h e en joyed classical training-with his persistent industry and convin cing eloquence-he would havo stood in the high places of Zion and would have been known as a gren,t man.

Many sorrows were his : he knew th e place and the meaning of Get.hsenrnne . God lovingly comforted him iu all his troubl es, mid he ofteu said h e had fouucl the prnmised grace amply sufficien t for every need of his nature. vVnrm-hearted , impulsive, Thurlow Bishop hns entered th e veil wh ere

I denth is unknown, and where our Lord 's servants behold His face nnd n.re like Him.

continued a m ember un til December , 1899 ; t hus giving thirty yea.rs of unbroken labors to l1is Churd1 and to its great H oacl. H e was a11 ind11 Rt1·ions n1111 co11 scient-.ious co-worker with Cbri8t in th e H[Jl'ead of th e Gospel. H P. served som e of th e lrnnlusL appointments, ns well ns some of tli e best, incl uding Gainesvill e, Tidla.hassee, Tampa and Livo Oak Districts.

Brother Phillips was no orclirntry pnm,cher. H e was a man of firm nntnrnl ability and of con Rirl.erable n,cquired learning . Many of his sermons were of n, high order-they were master-pieces of strong, orderly thinking.

Brother Phillips was n, good man, l),ncl quite given up to his heavenly calling from the beginning of his ministry, but during the latter part of his life his religions experience was greatly deepened and enriched, so much so that, as observed by his friends, he was an entirely consecrated man, enjoying the abiding presence of the Comforter. Our learned brother contemplated re-entering the Confercmce at this time, having located December, 1899, for which he had been recommended by the Live Oak District Conference; but his work wn,s clone, and from his home in Lake City, Fla., after a brief illness, he entered into rest, November 6, 1900.

"Blessed are the dead which die in t.he Lord from henceforth; yea, saith the Spirit, that th ey mu,y rest from their lahors, a,nd their works do follow them." Earnest pmyer is solicited for his widow and children.
