EDUCATION. Report No. 1.

A. J. MEADERS, Secretary.

To the Pre&ident and Members of the Memphis Annual Conference: Dear Brethren-At the elose of the 1910-11 session of the Memphis Conference

Female Institute, Dr. A. B. Jones resigned the presidency. Dr. J. T. Jones, the president of the Board of Trustees and the owner of the

property, invited the president of your Board of Education to call a meeting, that he might, through the Board of Education, make the church the first offer of the school and property.

Called to comider this matter the Board met in Jackson on the evening of the 23rd of May, 1911. We wer~ waited on at once by a committee of citizens, representing all the Methodist churches of the city, as well as the business interests, who made to us in substance the following proposition: ''We will buy of" Dr. Jones the property known as the Memphis Conference Institute, and give the same to the Memphis Annual Conference, free of encumbrance, and under the form of deed required by the church, on certain conditions.'' The whole amount to be paid for this property, including the $5,000.00 mortgage held by the Joint Board of Finance, was to be $30,000.00.

The conditions named were two: 1st. That the Board of Education, anticipating favorable action by the

Conference, would continue the school without break, by opening the sessjon and term of 1911-12. The Conference failing to take favorable action, this agreement was to expire with this session.

2nd. That the Conference would put as much into the school as did Jackson or, more definitely, that the Conference would authorize the raising of $30,000.00 to be added to the like amount raised by Jackson. This money, if authorized. by the Conference, was to be raised by such methods and within &uch time as the Conference might determine.

After careful inquiry into the value of the property, the legal status of tho old Board of Trustees, their willingness to agree to the proposed arrangement, as well as that of Dr. J. T. Jones, the Board of Education entered into a form of agreement with the citizens' committee, of which the following is a copy:

"If Jackson will present the Memphis Conference with the property known as the Memphis Conference Female Institute, clear of· encumbrance, we agree to continue the school and we pledge ourselves to urge on the Annual Conference


that it raise at least $30,000.00 to perfect the plant on such terms and conditions as may seem prudent and wise.

''Trustees shall be elected by the Board of Education, to whom a deed shall be made, and they shall hold the property for the benefit and use of the Church, until the Conference have an opportunity to ratify the action of the Board. In the event of ratification by the Conference, these trustees, elected. by the Board, shall deed the property to a Board of Trustees, to be elected by the Conference. But the Conference failing to ratify these Trustees, elected by the Board of Education, shall not be so bound.''

It was further stated by the citizens' committee, that, while their offer· of $30,000.00 was in the form of the present Institute property, for the purchase of which they had incurred an obligation to Dr. J. T. Jones, it was optional with the permanent Board of Trust or with the Conference whether this particular property or some other in the city or conveniently near, be the permanent home of the school. The Board also adopted a paper to the general effect that they did not understand that the acceptance of the present property bound the Conference to make this site the permanent one for the school.

All terms on both sides have been complied with up to the present time. The property is now held for the Church by the temporary Board of Trustees named by the Board of Education, and they are ready and pledged to make deed in required form to the Board of Trustees you shall name, as soon as you shall ratify the action of your Board of Education and authorize the raising of $30,000.00.

This Board, in compliance with its promise, has opened a succes&ful session of this great, old school, having elected within the past summer Dr. S. A. Steel to be the president.

In further compliance with our engagement we now urge you to take over as your own this property; to elect the Trustees, and to authorize the raising within the shortest possible time of $30,000.00.

We advise that this amount be raised by appeals through an agent, or the pastors, for voluntary contributions.

We recommend that the Board of Trust be elected, after legal advice taken, and at their option, work under the present charter, or if this is impracticable, submit to this Conference, their reasons for wishing to have that instrument revoked, and incorporation made under the present State laws, the final determination to be with this body.

We further and finally recommend that thirty-three (33) Trustees be elected, that they be divided into six (6) classes, whose terms of service, after the first election, shall be of equal length, namely, six (6) years, and that the terms of service under this first election shall expire in one (1), two (2), three (3), four ( 4), five (5), and six (6) years each.

We nominate for Trustees of the first class: Thos. Polk, 0. C. Sharp, H. J. Wright, A. J. Meaders, W. J. Mecoy, S. B. Enochs, W. Alva Taylor, A. A. Booth.

Second class: J. L. Weber, W. D. Jenkins, C. R. Barbee, T. K. Riddick, Cleanth Brooks.

Third class: Sam Hubbard, Yates Moore, J. W. Irion, G. B. Gillespie, G. E. Bowden.

Fourth class: L. D. Hamilton, S. F. Wynn, J. R. Rison, R. W. Hood, H. E. Graper.

Fifth class: Ross Witherspoon, J. 0. Bomar, A. W. Biggs, W. A. Freeman, J. T. Jones.

Sixth class: B. P. Cantrel1, R. S. Fletcher, C. A. Waterfield, L. T. Ward, S. L. Jewell.

Now, in consideration of these negotiations entered into and perfected insofar as the contingencies made it possible by the Board of Education and the citizens' committee of Jackson; be it resolved by this Conference, in session at Memphis, Tenn., November, 1911:

First: That we now take control of the school and proceed to conduct it through the Board of Trustees nominated by the Board of Education.

Second.: That we authorize to be raised $30,000.00 by the Conference to be applied· to the M. C. F. I., the expenditure of which is to be in the hands of


the Trustees; the method by which this $30,000.00 is to be raised to be deter· mined hereafter at some time in this session of the Conference.

Third: That we authorize the Trustees, now elected, to receive a deed and expend all or part of the money at their discretion as soon as the temporary Board is able to make the deed without any lien whatsoever on the property.

November 16, 1911. CLEANTH BROOKS, Secretary.

Report No. 2-To Complete Re}:ort No. 1. The Conference has authorized the raising of $30,000.00 for the Memphis

Conference Female Institute. Your Board of Education asks you to adopt at this time the assessment for education that it makes on the Conference, viz.: The general assessment for e<lucation remains as last year, $6,782.00. In addi· tion we lay an assessment of $3,391.00 for the benefit of the Memphis Confer· ence Female Institute. This amount is to be collected by the pastors and paid through your 1'reasurer of the Board of Education, and by him to the Board of Trustees.

We will ask also that if within the coming year it seems good and wise to the Boar<l of Trustees or the Board of Education to put in the field a special agent to collect funds for this school as special contributions toward the $30,000.00, that they be instructed so to do.

CLEAKTH BROOKS, Secretary of the Board.

Report No. 3. Your Board of Erlucation is devoted to the policy and interest of its training

schools-five in number. They are well located and equipped, and are conform· ing in their ideals more and more to a high standard.

The Board has spent time and money in perfecting the plans brought to your present session, by the adoption of which you have become owners of the Memphis Conference Female Institute property. This is a great step but it is only a step-a foundation stone, a footing on the long hill climb, the first enthusiasm of an accepted responsibility. Before us is the vision of the constructive imagination. \Ve are to deal in affairs. \Ve are to work with tho most pervasive force of modern times~a force sometimes the most destructive sometimes the most constructive. We are to work in the plan of a great intellectual and religious movement; and we are to have an ideal that cannot be compromised. Happy are we in this one thing, that whereas, battles were lost in many quarters before we knew the war was on, in the concerns of Christian education for our young women, the Church still has a great and evident advantage. vVe should all rally with· plan and affection and money to the Con· ference School, that, we being willing and obedient, is to be a great woman's college.

\Ve pause a moment here to record our sense of appreciation of Dr. A. B. Jones. Dr. Jones has for many years been at the head of this school, which has given all that it had of educational advantage to many young women of this section, and to most of our preachers' daughters. It has been his work through a lifetime. There is none in which the responsibilities are heavier, the successes sweeter, the results more enduring. He has his reward and shall have it in increasing mea:mre. ·

Your Boanl, in ad<lition to its work of helping to secure on stable foundations, its properties; and to loan judiciously to young men and women seeking an education, has also some special plans for the coming year. vVe shall try to print and senrl in to all of our bounds some statements, direct and simple, in the interest of Christian education as represented by our own schools. We shall also endeavor to have an annual Conference Institute within the coming summer-if possible, in connection with other Conference Boards. We ask the Conference to orrler a special E<lucational Day, and that the elate be left to the selection of the Board, the same to be announced after consultation with the Presiding Elders.

Reports from the Theological School, Correspondence School and the General Board have all been received and considered. We comme~d especially the ideals and purposes of the Correspondence School in its effort to give a larger

· OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 41

and better training to the young preachers of the Church; and to send somehow into the Church homes and the homes of Church people the message of the opportunities they may have, who will heed the call they hear.

This at last it is to which we must strive to attain even that we may in some measure know what Christian education is. We must drop, once for all, the notion that it is only something attached to us; that its chief concern is with business or social preparation for selfish success or selfish pleasure; that it is a force which gilds the divi&ion between labor and luxury; that it has to do with the final product under intensive method of a physical or sociological natural revolution. It is an evolvement, and for success, but the success of service; for the blessedness of an ideal, realization of social well being, of those who are children of God, with a heritage of infinite value, and an environ· ment of eternal life-all after the pattern and type of that Fatherhood and Sonship from which all Fatherhood in Heaven and earth gets its name.

We ask the Bishop to appoint Dr. J. H. Stevenson to the Chair of Hebrew in Vanderbilt University, and Rev. G. B .• Jackson, principal of the Dyersburg District High School.

We append as a part of this report the statistics from our Church schools And we file herewith the Treasurer's report.

JOINT BOARD OF FINANCE.

Report No. 1-Superannuate Endowment Fund.

While this Conference has contributed by voluntary gifts approximately $5,000.00 towards the Superannuate Endowment Fund, it has fallen far short of what we think it should do in the interest of a fund for a purpose so ex cellent as is this.

Nearly all the Conferences in Southern Methodism have adopted the assessment plan for raising this fund, and your Board is of the opinion that we should make an assessment small in amount at this time, and have fixed the amount of $500.00, and have distributed the same as follows:

District. Assessed. Memphis District .................................................................... $ 70.00 Brown~ville District .............................................................. 65.00 Jackson District ...................................................................... 60.00 Dyersburg District .................................................................. 65.00 Union City District ·····························-·-----------------------···------- 65.00 Paducah District -·------·---·----------·----------·----------·-------------····------- 65.00 Paris District ------------·--·--··--··----··-··-------·--·------------··---·············-· 60.00 Lexington District --------·----------·---------··----------·----_------·----------·-· 50.00

Report No. 2-Conference Claimants' Fund.

The following amounts were assessed and paid by the various districts of this Conference to this fund:

Districts. Assessed. Memphis District --------·---------------$ 1,500.00 Brownsville District --------·--------- 1,325.00 Jackson District ------------------------ 1,200.00 Dyersburg District -------------------- 1,450.00 Union City District -----------------· 1,350.00 Paducah District ------------------------ 1,450.00 Paris District --------------------·--------- 1,100.00 Lexington District -------------------- 625.00

$520.56

We deplore the deficit of $520.96 in this fund, and trust that our pastors will never let it occur again. Ten thousand dollars is a small amount to be paid by our people for a fund that should be sacred to every one of us, and w.hich does so much good in relieving the wants of those who are dependent upon us, and in many instances are helpless but for the aid which they receive from this fund. Will our pastors begin early in the year to see that this fund is paid in


full and insure the pleasure to this Board of reporting every dollar that is assessed paid.

The banner district is Memphis, which has an excess of $23.00, and Dyersburg comes next with an excess of $7 .00. The greatest deficit, $156.50, comes from Paris District, and Paducah comes next with $127.50, and Brownsville with $108.00, making the total deficit, with the other districts of $520.56.

With the collections above set out we have the following amounts with which to make payments to the claimants upon this fund:

In order that applicants have satisfactory consideration by the Board, it will be necessary for the applicants to answer as fully as they have all the questions given in the form for applications; also that the pastors present to the joint Board of Finance accon1ing to paragraph No. 141 in Discipline, as complete a statement as they can.

We regret to report that $138.01 less contribute•d to this fund this year than was paid la&t year, but the $397.00 receiveu from the Publishing House more than compensates for the difference in collections, and enables this Board to increase the amount paid to some of the claimants, and we have had the unique and pleasurable experience of puzzling as to where best. and most judiciously to add the money we had to give.

We hope ere long that this fund may be ample in every way to meet all tho wants of the worthy claimants upon it, and that our pastors will collect every cent that is assessed for another year and thus add to the gratitude we feel for their labors in the past. Your loved ones may soon become beneficiaries of this fund, and will you not join us in our efforts to make it a permanent source of comfort to those who may need it.

We are now more than ever convinced that the establishment of this fund was a wise move, and from it we are enabled to meet wants that cannot be reached in any other way, and that arc real emergencies. By having this fund we obviate the necessity of raising money in a private way to meet the wants of our preachers and their loved ones and making same a contingent claim upon the Conference's Claimant .Fund.

SUPERANNUATE HOMES.

We report again two homes, one at Brownsville, Tenn., occupied by Dr. W. L. Duckworth, and one at Obion, Tenn., which has been rented and which we hope to have occupied by one of our preachers soon after the adjournment of this Conference. We also have a lot at Rutherforu, 'renn., upon which we hope to be able to build soon, and there are $950.00 promised for the erection of a home in Lauderdale County so soon as $250.00 more may he contributed for this purpose. We ask that the Presiding Elder of that uistrict take immediate steps, in such way as he deems wise, to raise the balance of this fund as soon after the adjournment of Conference as he possibly can in order that the home may be erected during next summer.

We know that the hearts of our people are warm and tender. We saw ex· hibited on the floor of this Conference a manifestation of the brotherly feeling that exists among our people in the voluntary, impulsive, quiet and tender love shown by the contributions for an excellent brother when his wants became known to this assemblage, and for that reason we feel it useless to again call the attention of our preachers to the sacredness of the Conference Claimants' Fund, and to urge upon them the necessity for full collection. It may be only a few years until your loved ones will be beneficiaries upon this fund. Help us to maintain it as a source of comfort and consolation to those whom you now love.

Respectfully submitted,

Memphis, Tenn., November 20, 1911.

W. S. COULTER, Chairman, WM. J. NAYLOR, Secretary, G. T. WEAKLEY, Asst. Secretary, J. W. YOUNG, Treasurer.

SPIRITUAL INTEREST.

It is a source of pleasure and gratification to us to report to you that the spiritual state of our Conference is good. There have been gracious revivals in almost every pastoral charge. We find that there have been received into the Church about 2,184 on profession of faith, and about 400 infants baptized.

We have a deep and peculiar sympathy with our brethren in all their evangel ical efforts; for we are fully persuaded that the Kingdom of our Lord is :pot to come through reformation, but through regeneration and that God 's· will is to he done on earth by those whose conception of responsibility has been awakened by having passed from death unto life and kuowing absolutely in whom they have believed .

. After due and deliberate com.ideration we believe it conducive to the general welfare of the Conference to have a man co-operate with the Presiding Elders and Lay Leaders in perfecting a plan to bring a general and genuine revival to


the Conference. We recommend that the Conference Missionary Secretary would be the proper one for this work. In order that we may get the best spiritual results from our Church schools we recommend that the day set apart for schools during the week of prayer, which is the first week in January, be ob&"erved as a day of fasting and prayer for our Church schools; especially for the Vanderbilt University, that our greatest central institution of learning may be made a blessing to the Kingdom of our Lord.

As the Church is the chief instrument through which the Holy Ghost is to achieve all the ends for which Christ came into the world, and as the home is the foremost agency in the Chureh 's plan to carry out those end&", we urge our pastors to preach on the establishment of family altars and recommend that the first Sunday in .January, or as near thereto as possible, be set apart as a day for this speeial &"ervice.

There is nothing that ·is of more vital importance to our homes in the develop· ment of wholesome, pure and upright chara0ters than family altars. The pillars of the Church have grown up in the atmosphere of family worship and our future leadership needs this kind of atmosphere to grow into stalwart and efficient eharacters.

Perhaps there is no funetion of the Church militant more vital to the spiritual growth of the society than the prayer meeting and we recommen<l that the pastor, Sunday Sehool superintendent and good women of each soeiety in the Memphis Conferenee work together in increasing attendanee at prayer meeting; beeause the prayer meeting is a most excellent place to find men and women who will be helpful to an aspiring soul in enabling him to live a beautiful and useful life in time and gain a vast reward in eternity.

As the dutv of the Chureh is to build character and as there can be no well founded char~eter without '' repentanee toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ," we urge our pastors to preaeh often on regeneration, justification by faith, the witness of the spirit and all those other cardinal doetrines of Methodism that have led multitudes to Christ. We protest against Sunday travel on exeursions and Sunday newspapers as hurtful to the individual in his spiritual life and to the Church to which he belongs; and in their stead we recommend attendance at Church and Bible reading; and we urge our pastors to put the ''general organ'' of our Church and other religious papers in each home in their charge as means of grace to help their people realize in their hearts and conduct the true ideals of Christ and bear witness to the regeneration with which their Christian experience began.

J. T. BAGBY, Chairman; T. W. LEWIS, Secretary.

BOARD OF MISSIONS.

Dear Brethren-We are in the midst of a great missionary era; the race is girding itself with new life; God's Providence is manifestly turning a page in the unfolding of the divine purpose, the meaning of which is the expansion of the Kingdom of God among men. There have been periods which have witnessed events of more crucial import; times of culmination, fruition and momentous change in the providential unfolding of religious history, which may have surpassed the present in significance and promise, but for the opening of doors of access to all races of mankind; for the testing and challenging of the spirit of -service and sacrifice; for the call of a world addressed to a spiritually endowed, well equipped and thoroughly competent Church, this age takes precedent of €very other.

From every direction new possibilities beckon and the call is for more worthy rPc:;popse, more adequate effort and a deeper consecration upon the part of the Church.

Intelligence from the offices of our General Board and the representation of its work made to our Board give cause for devout thankfulness to Almighty God and puts us under opligation to the great work of bringing the world to Christ. For years the income from assessments has not been sufficient to meet

· the demands of the work projected; the increase from that source has not kept pace with the growth of a legitimate demand, which in the nature of the


case means that the Church must advance in missionary interest and offering if we are ready to meet the providential opportunity and respond to which we, as Methodh;ts, are called.

The survey in our own borders is gratifying. The total assessment for Missions, Foreign, Domestic and Connectional Home Missions, ;was $28,400.00. Income on the assessment w11s $25,755.30. While this registers a deficit of $2,644.70, our Treasurer reports specials amounting to $3,817.67, therefore in· stead of a deficit we really show an excess of $1,172.97.

The pastors of the various charges receiving assistance from this Board, have received checks at 100 per cent of appropriation.

The assessment laid on the Conference for Foreign Missions by the General Board for the ensuing year is $15,100.00, which is $2,800.00 less than the assessment of last year. vVe have apportioned the assessment to the several districts to be paid as follows:

The time has passed when the Church can reasonably hope for a11y C'1hrgc· ment of our missionary operation at home or abroad as a result of blind loyalty or merely sentimental motives. There must be an intelligent conception of the duties as well as privilege of joining Christ in His struggle for the mastery of the world. The agencies for the development of this intelligence are not to be created, they are at hand.

1. The Sunday School; its &ystematic study of the Bible, which from Genesis to Revelation is the pre-eminate text book on mission, the presentation of facts fresh from the field and the first Sunday's collection cannot fail if properly stressed in developing a generation with a missionary conviction too strong to be resisted.

2. The next agency is the Epworth League. 3. The Laymen's Missionary Movement, possibly somewhat discounted just

now, but we hope destined to be the mighty single human factor in the conquest of the world for Christ. We exhort Presiding Elders and pastors alike to encourage and use to the fullest extent possible the district and church lay leaders and the missionary committee in each congregation.

At the center of all missionary educational factors stands the pa&tor burning with a passion to bring a lost world to Christ. This leader of all the local forces, giving utterance in missionary sermons and exhortations to the conviction that holds him, cannot fail to develop the Sunday School, Epworth League and the laymen to a high point of efficiency.

We make the following earne&t recommendations: 1. We recommend an "every member" canvass in each congregation as pro·

vided by the discipline and to facilitate pastors in utilizing this splendid op· portunity to cultivate the missionary interest and liberality of his people we urge each pastor to secure and study The Financial Method for Methodists, which provides an admirable plan for the development of a financial policy that cares for every interest of the Church.

2. We recommend as essential to the proper development of the missionary intelligence of our people the circulation of The Voice, which is the efficient missionary magazine of our Church.

3. We recommend that the Missionary In&titute in each Presiding Elder's district be held as early as possible in the year in order that plans may be laid for an adequate missionary advance.

The General Secretaries have urged that the Presiding Elders, together with the President and Secretaries of the Board, be appointed to attend the Workers' Mis&ionary Conference at the Methodist Training School, Nashville, Tenn., January 3 and 5, and that one representative from each Presiding Elder's district be appointed by the Board to attend the mid-winter institute at same place December 28 and January 5. The Board, concurring in the matter, has agreed to defray the necessary expenses of the representatives to said meeting.

We again call the attention of the pastors and laymen to the importance of making all remittances for missions, whether on assessment or for specials, direct to your Conference Treasurer. This is necessary that the charges and Conference may receive proper credit therefor.

The Board requests the Bishop and Conference to designate Rev. W. A. Russell to be Conference Missionary Secretary.

The Board also presents the bond of our Conference Treasurer, H. J. Wright, which has been accepted and approved by us with the request that the same be recorded upon the minutes of the Conference and filed with the Secretary of the Conference for safe keeping.

It seems necessary to again bring to the attention of the pastors and laymen the importance of making all remittances for Missions, whether on assessments, or for Specials, to your Conference •rreasurer, that your charge and our Conference may receive proper credit. Your Treasurer cannot credit you on the books with funds remitted to the General Treasurer, to Bishops, Methodist Training School, missionaries on the field, or elsewhere. You will be promptly receipted for all funds sent the Treasurer and he will make remittance the day received to the General Treasurer, or to the work for which the funds may be directed.

The Treasurer has drawn checks to the order of the pastors serving mission charges and those who have not received theirs may call on him for same.

Respectfully submitted, H. J. WRIGHT, Treasurer, Board of Missions.

CHURCH EXTENSION. Report No. 1.

We record an appreciation of two of our members, who have died within the year, Rev. G. T. Sullivan, D. D., and Mr. H. M. Elder. We ask you to adopt this appreciation as a part of the report to be spread on the Conference Minutes.

Brother Sullivan, in the length of a busy and successful pastorate, was always interested in extending and conserving the Kingdom of God. While he would count it a reproach if we even seemed to say that any part of the great plan lacked his love and support, we feel that it was the work of Church Extension that called forth his largest effort, commanded his natural genius for enter· prising plans, and brought a joyous response to his mind as he saw the progress that insured a safe and holy conservation for the rapidly growing company of God's people.

For many years, and at different times, he was a faithful member of this Annual Conference Board. He has now put down a11 his earthly burdens, having been faithful. We trust to see him in the fair city which has no temple


made with hands, but which is built on everlasting foundation. Brother Elder, a successful business man of Trenton, Tenn., had become al·

most literally identified with the work of Church Extension, so far as his Con· ference relations were concerned. That was almost his whole business and in· terest while in attendance on the sessions of the Annual Conference. Clean and upright in his personal life, devoted to the great ideals of the Church, he found in his service here as Treasurer of the Board, a :fitting place to serve God and the Church of God.

We miss him but we shall remember his faithfulness and love, and expect to meet him again.

Report No. 2.

We are glad to learn from the last annual report of the General Board that the cause of Church Extension is more prosperous than ever before in its history. We commend our General Secretary for the :finest report ever sent out. The management has been ouccessful and the business of the Board done in a businesslike way.

The amount loaned to churches since the Board was organized in 1882, is $1,077,162.00. The amount donated in the same time is $1,965,903.00. Total invested in churches is $3,043,065.00.

The number of churches aided, 8,062. We are glad to note that the loan funds alone have increased $40,497.00

during the year and now amount to $380,111.00. May we not call the attention of the wealthy to the wonderful and ever increasing possibility of the Memorial Loan Fund. How much better than a marble shaft in the cemetery, telling that you are dead, is a working, growing, soul-saving church, telling that though you may have shuffled qff this mortal coil, your work in this world has not . ceased and will not. The Memorial Loan Fund is more than a memorial and differs from all other forms of endowment. • Other endowments are invested in stocks and bonds, or loaned at interest to any borrower who can g1ve good securities,-only the income being used in carrying out the object of the gift, while the principal of the Loan Fund is itself loaned to the very persons whom it was designed to help. The entire and only purpose being to give temporary aid. Ordinary endowments provide for the expenditure and consumption of the interest earned, while the Church Extension Loan Fund provides that neither principal nor interest shall he consumed in whole or in part for any purpose.

As an illustration of how this fund operates we call attention to the Harris Loan Fund of this Conference, which has already more than doubled itself, and also to the Taylor Loan Fund, which has just been established.

District Loan Funds. We commend the action of the Memphis and Dyersburg Districts in establish·

ing loan funds and ask that others do likewise. We ask the Executive Committee of our Board to provide for representation

at District Conferences and insist that thet be given an opportunity to present the cause they represent. ·

It is the earnest request of this Board. that all moneys for Church Extension be paid to the Conference Treasurer instead of the General Treasurer. This will save confusion and be less trouble to the Treasurer. L. T. Ward was elected by the Board to attend a meeting of Conference Board representatives.

Washington City Church. We heartily endorse the purpose to erect in the capital city of our nation a

church building that will be truly representative of the progressive spirit, the life and work of the M. E. Church, South. Other denominations have long since seen the importance of Washington City and have strengthened their influence by erecting in that city large and attractive church buildings.

Reports from Presiding Elders. We :find from reports of Presiding Elders that there are homeless congrega·

tions and places where we ought to organize, as follows:

Do these facts alone not speak in eloquent terms of the urgent necessity of pushing the work of Church Extension. If we do not go in and occupy this unoccupied territory other denominations will do so and are doing so right now. Specific names and places can be given in substantiation of this statement. May we not call upon the Lord that we may have the self-sacrificing patriotic spirit of our fathers who swam swollen streams, braved the dangers of a lurking foe in the forest and endured all kinds of privations that they might plant the Kingdom of God in virgin soil. Do not these many homeless congregations and many other places where we ought to organize plead in eloquent tones the need of the pioneer spirit of old.

While as we have said an air of prosperity pervades the entire work, yet, let us not forget that we have 2,942 homeless congregations, 38 being in the Memphis Conference, and 33 places where churches ought to be organized. If it is impossible to build good citizenship without good homes, how can we build up the Kingdom of God without houses of worship. Let us press on until-

" All that is wrong shall be all that is right And all that is dark shall be all that is bright."

REPORT OF EPWORTH LEAGUE BOARD.

Dear Brethren-We are glad to note the abiding and increasing interest in the Epworth League as a connectional institution of our Church.

We regret that there has not been manifest in our own Conference as a


whole, that interest which we believe the purpose and history of the league demands.

The Epworth League stands for the highest development of the young life of our Church along all right lines, especially with reference to the promotion of piety, loyalty to our own Church, the development of the highest social service, and the creation and maintenance of the genuine missionary conscience and activity.

While there has been no great growth in the membership of the league during the closing year we are glad to note that there is a more intelligent and direct application of this force in the real service of the Master's cause.

It is a well known fact that a large per cent of the recruits in the different departments of service in our Church credit their call and training to the Epworth League as an agency under the direction of the Holy Spirit. It is therefore to be expected that every loyal Methodist, whether in the ministry or laity, should give unceasing support to this fruitful arm of service.

We are glad to note that the finances. of the central office are being improved by the efficient administration of our General Secretary, Dr. F. S. Parker, and the co-operation of the faithful league pastors and Presiding Elders, with the hosts of our intelligent and loyal young people.

The Epworth Era was able to pay all expenses, including the salary of the editor, without drawing on the resources of The House, according to the last statement of the publishing agents.

In order to further promote this important interest, in harmony with the recommendation of the General Epworth League Board, we recommend the appointment of a member of this Board who shall be charged with the duty of co-operating with the central office in collecting the 10-cent assessment. We nominate for this place Rev. E. A. Tucker, Secretary of this Board.

Further conforming to the recommendation of our General Secretary we have authorized the Pre&ident of our Board to appoint one member of this Board from each Presiding Elder's District who shall be charged with the duty of organizing leagues in as many charges as possible with due reference always to the pastor and his primary relation and authority in all local matters.

We recommend the organization of a District Epworth League Conference in every Presiding Elder's Di&trict. When this is not practicable we recommend that a place be given· on the District Conference Calendar for the consideration of Epworth League work.

Inasmuch as it was recommended by the General Board of Mission and accepted by the General Epworth League Board that the missionary contributions of the league for the current year be directed to the payment of the appropriation to the Cuban Mission $50,000.00: Resolved, That it is thfl sense of this Conference that unless otherwise pledged the missionary contribution of our leagues be so applied. We recommend that our pastors and Epworth League leaders communicate with the General Secretary for literature and other helps, looking to this end.

In view of the projected ho&pital enterprise, to which we sustain so vital relation:

Resolved, That we urge the charity and help department of each league to render every possible assistance to this work, remembering that ''inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these, ye have done it unto me," says our Savior.

We especially urge the observance of "Hospital Rally Day" on the fourth Sunday in January, 1912, or as near thereto as practicable, with appropriate services and as liberal offering as their means will allow.

We offer the following suggestions, made by Dr. Culbreth, as a supplement to this report.

We desire to call the attention of our pastors to the primary importance of the Junior League. It is the guarantee of the future Senior League .and the ordained instrument in the hands of the pastor for the pastoral instruction of children. Let us have Junior Chapters in every pastoral charge, whether a senior organization is possible or not.


In this connection, we also ask leave to point out that the Epworth League is doing all it can to meet the hoy problem in the Church. We commend the Boys' League to the serious consideration of our pastors and leaders.

R. W. HOOD, Chairman, E. A. TUCKER, Secretary.

TWENTY-FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD.

In 1854 the General Conference of our Church appointed the :first representative Sunday School Committee and made Dr. Lovick Pierce chairman of it.

The report of that committee was so prophetic that it seems :fitting to quote a paragraph of it at this time more than a half century later. It read: "In the present state of society we regard the Sunday School as indispensible to the carrying out of the will of God. We are satisfied that to a very great extent the future success of all evangelical churches, especially in the older States, and more established congregations, must and will be determined by the nursery and the Sunday School. The idea that we can permanently enlarge and establish the church we represent by a merely missionary sy::;tem of preaching, is, in our opinion, entirely Utopian. We must look for sound conversions more as the blessed sequence of a system of thorough religious education than as a re::;ult of those sudden and overwhelming conversions which characterize those times when such training was impossible.''

So it has come to pass, and reliable recent data shows that the dividends from the Sunday School include 95 per cent of the preachers, 85 per cent of the church accessions, 95 per cent of the dependable church workers, and 75 per cent of the church organizations.

Over ·against these :fine results are the astonishing facts: That church members in general and parents in particular are not giving over 10 per cent of their time to the Sunday School, and that our theological schools have until recently put but small emphasis upon the Sunday School training of pastors.

In other words, about 90 per cent of the returns have come from 10 per cent of investments. Considering all ·these facts it is little less· than marvelous that the Sunday School has made such phenomenal progress as one of the chief arms of service in God's Kingdom.

During the past year far more activity has been manifest in our bounds than for several years. Your chairman has given whatever time was at his command to visiting some parts of the Conference.

During the past six months our Secretary, Rev. R. P. Duckworth, has rendered most valuable service in a number of directions, so that many schools have been quickened and given new impulse to better work by his faithful and efficient labors. Vast quantities of our literature have been distributed over a wide area in a most judicious way.

Children's Day. According to the most reliable information Children's Day was more gener

ally observed this year than ever before. Not only do we :find every one of our 176 charges reporting Children's Day offerings, which gives us six years without a blank, but the Brownsville District observed the day and took an offering in every school, and had the funds from every charge in the hands of our Treasurer some days before this Conference opened.

Little wonder that the Brownsville District also holds the banner this year as the only district in the Conference that exceeded its aggregate offerings of last year.

The Memphis and Paris Districts followed closely upon the heels of Brownsville as to the number of schools observing the day and both districts also had the funds in the hands of the Trea&urer before Conference. Our total Children's Day offerings this year amount to $3,220.83, the largest we have ever had except last year.

Please observe that seven out of the eight excelling charges arc circuits; it might be proper to ask what is the matter with the stations~

The Big Banner Charge. Doubtless without a parallel in our entire connection Longstreet and Beth·

lehem, in the Memphis District, with four small country churches with an ag· gregate membership of 286 persons, old and young, made the remarkable offering of $180.00.

Rev. J. A. Hassell is the indefatigable man "behind the gun" in this charge, and the same charge gave $156.00 last year.

A Big Little City Church.

Equally proportionately great, perhaps, was the offering of $50.00 by Annesdale, one of our &mall but very plucky suburban churches of Memphis, of which Rev. J. G. Williams is the shepherd. This kind of an achievement seems to be in the system of this good pastor, as his record has run that way for years.

Our Literature. The editor of our periodicals has is&ued this year the most cheering report of

his entire administration. 'fhe gain in circulation has reached 101,023 during the past year and the improvement in physical features and internal matter is most gratifying. .

The Department of Teacher Training and the· Wesley Adult Bible Class Department, under the efficient guidance of Drs. H. l\L Hamill and Charles D. Bulla, give promise of con&tantly widening influence and enlarging adult con· stituency of our schools.

\Ve urge our pastors and superintendents to send for the literature of both departments, and introduce the work wherever at all practicable, even though it be on a small scale in the beginning. ·

If we are ever to have a generation of great teachers, we must grow them, and if we are to hope for schools full of boys and girls, we must have their elders there in the mature men and women in the communities.

Some New Features. 1. \Ve have organized our Conference Board on the basis of every member

thereof, taking an active part in the work in his own Conference district, with the lay member as the leader with the pastors and superintendents as ex officio members of his district board, and each one will be given very definite work to do during the year.

2. We· have at this Conference and shall use the same constantly hereafter, our own big trunk full of literature an<l supplies from our Publishing House, which will be exhibited at every place during the year, and as much literature distributed as possible.


3. Our Sunday School Board has authorized the use of traveling libraries of choice books to be distributed to Sunday School workers in each of our eight districts, especially for the benefit of our officers and teachers.

Hospital Rally Day.

By resolution of our Board, Sunday, .January 28, next, is designated ar; the Tri-State Methodist Hospital Ral1y Day, and on which day we earnestly ask that every Sunday School in the Memphis Conference take a generous offering for the hospital and send the same at once to the Treasurer, J. R. Pepper, 1101 Poplar Boulevard, Memphis, Tenn. We further ask that all pastors and ~uperintendents give this important matter genuinely interested attention.

Church Extension Sunday School Loan Fund.

In view of the very benevolent purpose of this fund in erecting up-to-date Sunday School buildings for use of the modern school as the gifts to said fund come as birthday memorials ancl do not interfere with the regular offerings to the school for rurrent or other expenflitures, we ask that our schools send to Rev. W. F. McMurray, Secretary Church Extension Board, Louisvil1e, Ky., for the convenient little Birthday jars used for such purpose, and that they gener· ally introduce this goo<l work into our schools, only a few of which are now using them.

MEMPHIS CONFERENCE LAYMEN'S REPORT.

We, the Committee on Laymen's Missionary Movement, beg to report as follows:

The advancement in the work among the laymen in the Memphis Conference during the year just closing has not been as satisfactory as we desired and had


hoped for. We :find from the report of the Annual Conference Leader that each District Conference has complied with the requirements of the General Confer· ence by electing a lay leader for each district, whose names and addresses are as follows:

T. C. Long, Jackson, Tenn., Jackson District. John B. Howell, Dyersburg, Tenn., Dyersburg District. J. W. Prather, Selma, Tenn., Lexington District. C. J. Barlow, Barlow, Ky., Paducah District. J. W. Stewart, Puryear, Tenn., Paris District. J. F. Parker, Gibson, Tenn., Brownsville District. C. T. Arnold, Kenton, Tenn., Union City District. Jeff B. Marmon, Memphis, Tenn., Memphis District. The Conference Leader has not visited the District Conferences during the

year just closed as in former years, giving as his reason that he felt that the Presiding Elders and members of the District Conferences were thoroughly informed as to the methods of organizing and planning to carry out the great purposes of the Laymen's Missionary Movement. Besides this, there have been no funds in the treasury with which to pay expenses of travel to and from these Conferences.

A recent report from each of the Presiding Elders will show that nearly ·an of the charges have elected lay leaders, which gives us a completed organization, as required by law. Also there seems to be some awakening of interest on the part of the laymen in the Conference in regard to missionary work and other labors in Chri::.tian endeavors.

We would respectfully recommend: 1. That the District Lay Leaders make at least one visit during the year to

each charge and present the object and aim of the Layman's Missionary Movement, and think the better time for this would be to accompany the Presiding Elder on one of his rounds.

2. That either an annual meeting be held for the laymen to plan for the needs of the Church, or more time be given at the District Conferences for the discussion of the laymen's work.

3. That the laymen throughout the district be requested to co-operate more readily with the Presiding Elders and pastors in the raising of all the connectional claims, as well as the pastor's salary, and along with this the Presiding Elders and pastors encourage the laymen in not only doing the :financial work, but in leadership in matters spiritual and educational pertaining to the work of the Church at large.

4. That they encourage greater loyalty to the Church by striving to work through all the organized agencies of the Church and giving our missionary and other offerings so that the various parent Boards may use these offerings as they see best.

5. That we adopt and urge the use of the :financial method for Methodists, adopted by the Secretaries of the Boards of Mission, Church Extension, Education and Laymen's Missionary Movement of the Methodist Epicopal Church, South.

6. That we look with favor upon the Men and Religious Forward Movement and promise to aid in the work of evangelism among men in our own country and thereby create a deeper spirituality among our laymen.

That the committee nominate Thos. B. King, as the Conference Lay Leader of the Memphis Conference.

THOS. B. KING, Chairman, T. C. LONG, Secretary.

REPORT ON TEMPERANCE.

Bishop and Brethren-The Committee on Temperance respectfully report, that the Memphis Conference, representing the :fixed opinions of its great brother· hood in favor of every virtue and against all vices, known to be unscriptural and deadly in their effects on human happiness and prosperity and ruinous to Church and State, hereby declares:

1. That the inspired word of God demands that all Christians go on to per·


fection, and to daily become more and more like Christ, the wonderful Counsellor, in all things personal, political and religious, in that whatsoever we do must be done for the glory of God and for the advancement of His cause.

The Christ-like spirit bars all intemperance of thought, speech or action and compels antagonism by every moral and legal method to every known evil, whether the method be moral suat:.ion or legislation, or both.

2. That the failure or refusal to use Sovereign power, known by all to exist to the last degree, in the eradication of any great evil, is the worst form of intemperance and exhibits an intemperate desire and purpose always hurtful, to yield to "The powers of darknet:.·s" and thus open wider than ever, the broad way of death, to accumulating evils of all kinds and invite the committal of misdemeanors and crimes, in violation of the laws of man and God.

3. That the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, is a great evil, against which the Church should make vigorous opposition, because the whole traffic is strongly condemned by the inspired Word of God as a mocker and deceiver and the source of ''woe and sorrow and contentions and wounds without cause and babblings and redness of eyes," and as being so wicked that its only product, the drunkard, cannot ''enter the Kingdom of Heaven.''

And because it is deadly in all its effects to the health of the body and mind and good of man and to his happiness and prosperity and to his temporal and eternal welfare.

4. That the beverage traffic in any and all of its forms, is at enmity with purity and godliness wherever found in Church or State, or in the home, or in the body politic, or elsewheTe, and calls for the utmost endeavor of every patriot, every Christian, every Church, every voter and every person to abolish it from the town, the city, the country, the state and nation and the world, by the creation of a resistless public sentiment and the enactment of inhibitory laws aga,inst it, and the faithful execution of such laws in all localities.

5. That there is absolutely no ju&tification for the state issuing liquor license only ''by local consent'' of any small or large integral part of the state, as under our constitutional form of government, the state is sovereign and may not yield up its sovereignty to local dictum any more in behalf of death dealing alcohol than of the pistol, the bawdy house, the dive and the gambling hell. The worst of evils must not be exalted by law over all the lesser evils.

It can never be right to victimize a helpless local minority by the wrongful domination of a lawless majority in such localities.

6. The manufacturer and seller of strong drink can and do sell at retail all over the state, under license to sell in a particular locality through shipments over the railroads and by express and by river craft and thus the wish and will of thousands of other localities opposed to whiskey selling, is disregarded and trampled under foot, and the result is a majority in one locality overrides and dominates majorities of other localities in the state.

7. That law of Tennessee prohibiting the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors within the state should be maintained and enforced in every locality, because they accord with the teachings of the Bible which is the foundation of our constitution and all good laws for the protection of "Life, liberty and property,'' and of our faith and hope. We are again&t the drink demon and for God and His Church and shall not be driven from support of these laws by the inexcusable lawlessness of two or three localities.

8. Believing the representatives of the Federal government, especially those in high places, should refrain from giving encouragement by word or act to the manufacturers and dealers in intoxicating liquors; we heartily condemn the action of Mr. Wilson, Secretary of Agriculture, and a member of Mr. Taft's cabinet, in accepting the invitation of the National Brewers' Association to deliver the Address of Welcome to that body at its last session, and particularly his words of contempt for and defiance of the protests filed against such action by the W. C. T. Union and other religious bodies. We furthermore earnestly petition our representatives in both houses of the National Congress to use their utmost personal endeavor to secure the enactment of such laws as


will stop the United States government from issuing a license to any one to sell intoxicating liquors in prohibition territory.

We heartily approve the call made by Governor Hooper for a meeting of the friends of the state-wide law to convene in Nashville on November 30, to consider the best method to preserve this law as it now stands and to secure its enforcement in every part of the state, and would urge all friends who can do so to attend.

9. That we commend the Anti-saloon League and the W. C. T. U. and all other organizations and combinations of good men and women that purpose the annihilation of the entire whiskey traffic in state and nation and the world.

Respectfully submitted, E. B. RAMSEY, Chairman, A. E. SCOTT, Secretary.

PUBLISHING INTERESTS.

The Methodist Church from her beginning has been zealous for the publication and distribution of useful and helpful books and periodicals. Her illustrious founder was a writer of strong and prolific religious literature. Since the early days of Methodism there have been many whose authorship have been a blessing to her membership and increased the intelligence of our great Church.

The Publishing House.

The statement submitted by our agents, Smith and Lamar, for the year ending DecembE:)r 31, 1910, shows the excellent condition of our Publishing House. We are gratified to note the high grade of work done by our agents in the publication and distribution of books and periodicals.

The Christian Advocate.

We heard with pleasure the assistant editor, Rev. J. S. Chadwick, and as members of the Memphis Conference, we assure the editor, Rev. T. N. Ivey, D. D., and his co-laborers, of our loyal support of the general organ of our Church. The editorials are strong and helpful and the notices of current events of the week are ·interesting and intelligently arranged.

The Epworth Era.

The Epworth Era, under the careful and versatile management of Rev. Fitzgerald S. Parker, D. D., editor, is affording our young people a source of help and information that will greatly assist in developing the heart and mind of Epworth Leaguers.

Sunday School Literature.

Our Sunday School Magazine and other Sunday School literature has continually increased in excellence and in circulation, under the direction of that strong editor, Rev. E. B. Chappell, D. D., who delivered an able and instructive address upon the anniversary of the Sunday School Board of the Memphis Conference. \Ve highly commend the excellent exhibit furnished by the Sunday School Board of our Conference.

Our Conference Organ.

The Midland Methodist, edited by Rev. T. C. Schuler of the Holston Conference, and published by Mr. 0. \V. Patton of Nashville, who reported an increased circulation an!l promised improvement in the paper, is the organ of the Holston, 'l'ennessce, and Memphis Conferences. This paper is a splendid medium for our revival items, official communication, field notes, and puts us in close relation with the other two patronizing Conferences. Our Conference Organ stands for the best in home life, in Christian character, and in temperance reform. We rejoice in the past success of the paper and commend to our pastors and people this helpful agency for enlarging and developing our great Church. We would nominate the following brethren to represent the Memphis

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.

We, the committee to whom was referred the interest of Sabbath observance, have carefully and seriously considered the subject and respectfully submit the following report: '

In the very beginning of man's existence, God saw the necessity of a Sabbath day. He enforced its observance by resting from His creation on the seventh day, and by giving a positive command to us, to ''Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy."

Tliere are but two primitive institutions in the world today established and ordained by God, before the fall. One of these is the Sabbath, which was binding on man from the beginning; its purpose is to insure a time of rest for the body, time for meditation, for worship, and for the uninterrupted study of our Creator and His Word. It was, indeed, made for man, but in making that utterance our Savior never intended that the world should forget that the spiritual nature of man is the highest, best, and only lasting part of him. While man needs the Sabbath as a rest day, yet he needs the more to observe the day for the spiritual good.

Daniel Webster said: "The Sabbath is the bulwark of our liberty, because it is the bulwark of our morality.'' Blackstone said: ''A corruption of morals usually follow a profaning the Sabbath day.'' The record of history proves to Ufl that the nations which observe the Christian Sabbath are the more prosperous.

Our American people are facing the question of a great tide of immigrantswho have no regard for God's day-coming into our midt.t, and it behooves us to give them the benefit of our idea of the sanctity of the Sabbath as well as set them a high standard of living, if not, they will pervert our Sabbath, and give the rising generation their idea of civilization and morality.

We regret the tendency of our people to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath. Stotes in the small towns as well as the cities in a great many instances are opened on the Sabbath and goods are sold as on week days. Pleasure riding, both on railroads and in autos, is getting very common, the railroads offer every inducement in the way of low fares and better service on the Sabbath; our people visit the post office and read their mail on the Sabbath; Sunday theaters, moving picture shows and professional baseball is allowed in the bounds of our Conference-even right here in this city, the seat of this Conference, the theater, moving picture shows, saloons, and ball games have great throngs on the Sabbath; our parks are turned into places of amusement in some places on the Christian Sabbath and we are pained to learn that some of our members indulge in these violations of God's day. Therefore, we submit the following resolutions:

Resolved, 1st, That we recommend to our people a more careful consideration of the Sabbath, and a more strict observance of it.

2nd, That the pastors of the Conference preach at least one sermon in each congregation on this important subject.

3rd, That our preachers and laymen refrain from riding Sunday trains and visiting the post office except in case of necessity.

4th, That we most emphatically brand the Sunday theater, Sunday baseball and Sunday fairs and amusement parks as a menace to our Christian civilization, and condemn our people for encouraging such, and furthermore urge our lawmakers to enact laws against these things if the laws on our statute books are not strong enough, and urge further our city, town and county officials to enforce these laws.

5th, That we speak out in no uncertain sound against the violation of the law in the fact that stores as well as blind tigers keep open on the Sabbath and ply their trade.


6th, That· we endorse the Sunday League of America. 7th, That the pastors as far as possible for them to do so, get the county

paper~ in their ,r~spective counties to publish this report. . S. W. PEEPLES, Chairman,

ROBT. A. CLARK, Secretary.

BIBLE CAUSE.

Your Committee on Bible Cause make the following report: With deep reverence, and strong faith in its teaching, we regard the Bible as

the inspired Word of God; it stands out superior to all human philosophy and wisdom, and challenges the thought and admiration of the world. The Psalmist David was certainly right when he declared, ''The entrance of the word giveth light, it giveth understanding to the simple.'' Through all the years gone by it has been bringing to fallen man the light and help which he needed. Its beautiful light shines along our pathway while we walk through the darkness of the world. St. Paul, writing under inspiration, said, "The Word of God is quick and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart."

And so wherever this gospel has been preached, it has proven itself to be ''the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.'' A power in the mind, and in the heart and life. It is this blessed word of God that brings to us so much instruction in our ignorance, light in our darkness, strength in our weakness, and comfort in our sorrows. Let us preach it and teach it more earnestly, if possible, than in the past, and seek to impress the people wherever we go with its divine character and its mighty truth.

We appreciate the great work that is being done by the American Bible Society through its district agents and colporteurs, who go into all the lands, carrying the word of life. Organized in 1816, it has united many denominations in the undertaking to increase the circulation of the scriptures among all nations. It issued, last year, at home and in other lands, 2,231,722 volumes of scriptures. It circulates the Bible in more than 100 languages. Its agents and colporteurs are pioneers of missions at home and abroad. We are glad to have with us at thissession of the Conference Dr. George S. J. Brown of Cincinnati, agent of this district, who is giving himself so earnestly and successfully to this great work. . We are sorry to note the deficit in so many districts of the Conference, but report with pleasure the two districts, Lexington and Memphis, which report an excess on its assessment. . In order to meet the conditions of Mrs. Russell Sage's gift of $500,000.00, we recommend an assessment of $1,000.00 for the coming Conference year and the collection and payment of that assessment before January 1, 1912.

In consideration of the above: Resolved, therefore, That we will make more prominent before our people this

great arm of the Church, and that we will be more diligent to collect the amount apportioned to our charge, by special collection in the beginning of the Conference year.

We respectfully submit the following financial report, to-wit:

DISTRICT CONFERENCE JOURNALS.

All of the Journals except the one from Lexington were submitted to the Committee and after careful examination we offer the following report:

The Brownsville, Memphis and Union City Journals are neatly and orderly kept. Dyersburg and Jackson are neatly kept with exception of a few blotches. The Paris District Journal is not properly worded at the beginning, besides there are a number of blots that mar its neatness. The Paducah District Jour· nal was found to be very badly marred with blots and scratches.

J. A. SPENCE, Chairman, T. C. McKELVEY, Secretary.

REPRESENTATIVE CHURCH, WASffiNGTON, D. C.

Your Committee on Representative Church in Washington City submits the following report:

We have given our pledge to raise $5,000.00 in four years to erect this church building and we believe this amount can be raised, easily if our preachers and people will unite in the effort.

A great church structure in the capital city of our nation will render a lasting service to the cause of Christ. We must erect such a house if we would save ourselves from discredit and meet the demands of the times.

Your committee desires to suggest that the Presiding Elders send to Rev. G. S. Sexton, 1308 Commerce Street, Dallas, Texas, the names of ten or more of the leading laymen of each district that they may be enlisted in this movement.

About the last of March or first of April Dr. Sexton and one Qf our Bishops will conduct an eight days' campaign in our Conference to secure subscriptions to redeem, our Conference pledge. It is also agreed, as a part of this campaign, that a large number of our preachers shall be at the command of this committee to visit such charges as Dr. Sexton and the Bishop cannot reach and to secure subscriptions to this enterprise.

METHODIST HOSPITAL. Dear Brethren-We are glad our Church is entering this field for Christian

service. It is a reproach to us when our members and ministers have to receive hospital treatment at the charity of other Churches. We are too numerous and too prosperous for this to be excused. Our love and benevolence should make us provide for not only our own people but for the unfortunate ones who are not of our fold.

68 MINUTES OF THE MEMPillS CONFERENCE

We believe it would be hard to overestimate the importance of this work, and its possible influence on the future of our Church. Thousands will doubtless be won to Christ through its agency who could be reached in no other way, and Methodism will be but following the example of her Master when she makes the healing of the diseased body the opportunity of winning the privilege of shepherding the lost soul.

Since the hospital is to be located in Memphis, thus assuring our people the greatest service, we believe that we should prove our interest and appreciation by setting a high and worthy standard of liberality for the other Conferences to follow. We therefore call on all our people to contribute as liberally as possible. Let the poor give what they can and let those who have been blessed with larger means remember that here is a rare opportunity of investing their thousands for the permanent blessing of humanity and the highest service of God. There are those in our Church who should count it a privilege to give $10,000, $25,000, $50,000, or even $100,000, to this worthy cause, and be the richer ever after. Now is their time.

We approve the appointment of January 28, 1912, as Hospital Rally Day. On this day, or as near thereto as practicable, let every Sunday School, every Epworth League, every Woman's Home Mission Society, as well as every congregation, hold appropriate services and make liberal offerings for the Hospital. If our Presiding Elders and pastors will properly present the cause and make the appeal Hospital Rally Day will bring in returns that will assure the highest success. Let each pastor see that his charge does that which is worthy of it.

The selection of Rev. H. M. Ellis, of the Mississippi Conference, for Field Secretary, we most heartily approve and. pledge to co-operate with him and its commissioners in the work committed to them.

Brother Ellis is but the agent and servant of the Church and every pastor should be ready to give him welcome to their church and render him all possible assistance in his work. His visit will prove an inspiration and blessing in any charge.

We wish also to ask our Conference papers to render this work all possible service by editorial utterance and the opening of their columns for the prompt publication of communications from the Field Secretary or other members of the Board of Commissioners.

We heartily commend the administration of the Board of Commissioners and believe we cannot do better than re-elect the men who have the interest already on their hearts. We therefore nominate for Hospital Commissioners for the ensuing years Rev. H. B. Johnston, D. D., Rev. W. G. Hefley, D. D., Messrs. Jno. R. Pepper, T. K. Riddick, and L. M. Stratton.

Respectfully submitted, T. E. SHARP, Chairman, THOS. B. KINGSL Y.

MEMOIRS. REV. PAUL B. JEFFERSON.

Rev., Paul B. Jefferson, son of James Henry and Rachel West Jefferson, of ' Swayma, Delaware, came to Memphis when a youth seeking employment, which he soon found in the well known firm of Baldwin, Knowlton & Lake. After spending several years mutually pleasant and profitable to himself and the firm, he engaged with his brother, W. T. Jefferson, in the retail grocery business, and after a few years sold to his brother his interest in the business and began writing insurance which he successfully followed until he became a member of the Conference.

Upon arriving in Memphis he joined the First Methodist Church, and began working therein. He was an active member of the Sunday School, a zealous member of the class so long and efficiently taught by Mr. Ed. F. Wills. He

OF ~HE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 69

also found a :field of usefulness in the Epworth League, and led many a young life out of dangers into safety by enli&ting them in church work and finding for them happy Christian associations.

He was a gifted young man, and soon there came numerous calls for thia service; he was a leader in song and made a good steward was ready for any duty and delighted to serve his fellows and the church. '

He did not neglect his social duties, he made a good friend, and in the homes he visited was warmly welcomed. A gentleman whose home was early opened to the Jefferson brothers, the warm welcome of which they relished, calling it their ''Southern Home,'' said to me concerning the deceased that I could not well say too much about him for he was a most exemplary young man, indeed a model, and that all his household felt as if he were a member thereof.

For many years he had felt that the Lord had some special work for him to perform, but the way was never quite open or the duty made clear until a vision came during his illness at the hospital November, 1906, which fully settled the question and after that everything was shaped for the ministry, which he felt was to be his life work.

After his response to the call there came a trial, he was urged by some of his business friends to simply give such time as he could to the work of the church as a layman, and continue in his secular business, and their earnestness was shown in the profitable promotion which was proffered him, but his heart was fixed and to the short day of his ministry he devoted his undivided energies.

November 27, 1906, he was most happily married to Miss Necie Scott, of Martin, Tenn., Rev. W. C. Sellars officiating. Two little girls gladdened their home, who with their mother are members of her father's family at Martin, Ten~ ·

November, 1907, he was admitted on trial into the traveling connection and appointed to LaGrange Circuit, where he spent two years doing mo&t efficient work. In 1909 he was ordained deacon by Bishop Hendrix and appointed to Murray Station. There he was allowed to stay only one year because his services were demanded elsewhere, and at the Conference last year was ap· pointed to Fountain Avenue, Paducah, where he soon impressed the church and community that he was a man of affair& and would expect progress in his church. He was truly a man of detail and dispatch.

While unpacking and adjusting his household goods for the home bringing of his family he contracted a deep cold which resulted in pneumonia, severe and fatal He took to his bed and died in the home of his wife's father in Martin. Whe~ he knew that the end was nigh he made adjustment of his business for the good of his household, gave counsel and left messages as one to be gone, and rejoiced with joy unspeakable as he approached the eternal home.

The funeral and burial took place in Martin. The writer, assisted by quite a number of the members of the Conference and laymen from his church in Paducah, and his former home and charges, conducted the service.

The last month of his ministry he made the district parsonage his home and greatly endeared himself to all its inmates.

As a man ·he commanded the respect of his fellows, had in&tincts and sensibilities most refined. As a husband and father he modeled his home and managed his household as became a Christian minister.

He began the ministry a well rounded man, having had years of experience and training with some of the bebt workers in the Church. It was therefore expected that he would succeed and there was no disappointment. No man in the Conference had a brighter future. From a human view we have suffered much in his early going, but all his life force is to us an uplift, and God knows be&t when to call His workers to their reward.

Here and. now we miss our loved one, and are hungry of heart; but in the above and beyond we shall find all we have ever righteously longed for, and infinitely more, unto eternal heart overflowing. Then will the singers be singing sweeter notes than the Christmas or Easter song in that glad Coronation Day.

REV. THOMAS J'. FEATHERSTON.

Rev. Thomas J. Featherston, eldest son of James H. and Elizabeth C. Feather· ston, was born near Trenton, in Gibson County, Tennessee, March 27, 1848. His mother died when he was quite young, and he was brought up partly by grandparents, and later in the home of his father, who had married again, always in the midst of the best of religious home training and influences.

December 6, 1869, he was happily married to Miss Arabella E. Wingo, and to this union were born four children-Ovid Tasso, Lilla Belle, Olin Victo;r, and Vida. Two of these, the boys, died young, one in childhood and the other in young manhood. The mother of these children passed to her reward July 29, 1891.

Brother Featherston was married again December 28, 1892, to Mrs. Emma R Coates, who Jived near Trenton, Tenn. To this union were born five childrenBessie Ino, Imo Lynn, Lola, Lela May, and Lizzie Lou. Lola died in infancy and the mother of these children, whom the writer knew as a sensible, devoted Christian woman, went to her Heavenly home September 4, 1910.

Our Brother professed faith in Christ in his thirteenth year, but did not join the Church at that time, and backslid; but was reclaimed in his twenty-seventh year and joined the Methodist Church. He acted as a steward for a while, and taught in the Sunday School. He was licensed to preach by Rev. J. H. Evans, September 22, 1888, at Brock's Chapel, then one of the appointments on Sharon Circuit. He preached four years as a local preacher, and then was admitted on trial into the traveling connection at Mayfield, Ky., December 4, 1892, Bishop J. C. Keener presiding, by whom he was then and there ordained deacon. He was received into full connection in 1894, at Humboldt, Tenn., Bishop A. W. Wilson presiding, and was ordained elder by the same Bishop in Jackson, Tenn.1

in 1896. Brother Peatherston served the following charges: Harris Circuit, McConnell

Circuit, Bradford Circuit, Randolph Circuit, Embury Circuit, Macon Circuit, Saulsbury and Grand Junction, Denmark Circuit, Malesus and Medon, and Martin Circuit. He had only a common school education, but he had collected a fine library of books and studied them closely. He was well informed in our Methodist theology and general literature. He always preached a good, instructive sermon, and attended closely to all the details of the pastoral work. He wrought faithfully and well, and has received the welcome plaudit: ''Well done, good and faithful servant.'' We shall see him again upon the high hills of immortal glory and with him sing the sweet songs of redemption forever.

REV. CHARLES ALBERT HASKELL.

Charles Albert Haskell was born in Graves County, Kentucky, January 1, 1838, and lived in said county nearly all his life. He was well taught as a lad, and began teaching himself when a mere boy. Pirst and last he taught seven· teen years.

In the early part of 1861 he entered the Confederate army, Company D, Second Kentucky regiment of infantry, and took part in every battle in which this gallant regiment was engaged, save one, at which time he was in the hospital sick with measles. He was finally paroled at Washington, Ga., weary and sad, but still being in health, with the dew of his young manhood still upon him, he went to work to redeem the wasted fortunes of his country and build again the social fabric that had been so nearly ruined. A happy incident in the many providences of his military life was that at a great meeting in Dalton, Ga., he was converted to God, and, after returning home, he united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Spence's Chapel. There he served as an officer in the church, and was one of its burden-bearers until he was licensed to preach there in perhaps 1882, and from there was recommended to be received on trial in the Memphis Annual Conference, in 1885, at Paducah, Ky., where he was ordained deacon by Bishop R. K. Hargrove. In 1889 he was ordained elder by Bishop E. R. Hendrix at Pulton, Ky.

He began his ministry in the County in which he was born, and in which he mostly lived. He had been such a gallant soldier, such a courteous gentleman,


such a useful citizen, and ~uch an exemplary Christian, that when he began preaching his words were weighty, and his influence among the people was unusually strong. He preached nearly all· over the Kentucky part of the Con ference. Wickliffe, Palestine, Mayfield, Hinkleville, and Moscow Circuit and again Mayfield Circuit, always popular anu eminently successful every~here, but his wor~ in Ballard C?unty was perhaps the most far-reaching of any, fo:r there he laid the foundatiOns upon which Brasfield and others have built so splendidly since. He was superannuated at Trenton, Tenn., in 1897, and did such work as he was able for the Church and for the support of his wife until, worn out by severe afflictions, he passed to his Heavenly reward April 14, 1911, revered by his children, respected by his neighbors, and honored by his church.

He was married twice, first to Miss Sarah A. Beasley, who was the mother of his children. She was a queenly woman of the finest Christian character. Two of his sons are still living, honorable Christian men. He was married the second time to Miss Kate Travis, January 25, 1888. She, too, is a most amiable Christian woman, still living, and they were knit together in great felicity.

This is only a glimpse of the life of a man who was pure in heart, clean in life, and of honest purpose, carried into effect with un~'>werving faith in God, and a burning desire to benefit his fellow man. We do honor to ourselves when we do honor to his memory.

REV. THOMAS POLK RAMSEY.

Rev. Thomas Polk Ramsey, son of Maj. William and Olive Ramsey, was born in Bolivar, Tennessee, November 8, 1835. His parents came from Middle Ten-nessee to West Tennessee and settled in Hardeman County, where Bolivar now stands, before the town was laid off. They were Baptists in faith. His father was a very moral man and his mother deeply pious and a strict member of the Baptist church, and she trained her children up to attend Sunday School. He had six half brothers and three half sisters, his mother being a widow Patrick when his father married her. He also had two full brothers, Patrick H. and John L. Ramsey, and one sister, who became the wife of Dr. D. J. Newbern, and died some two years ago.

His educational advantages were such as the common schools of that day afforded. He had no college training, yet he used good language, and spoke with such force that he made his meaning clear. He served in the Civil War on the Confederate side for nearly four years, but I have no information at hand touching his record as a soldier; however, judging from his after life and what we know of his fidelity to truth, we feel jul'>tified in believing that he stood loyally and fought bravely for what he believed was right.

On October 12, 1854, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Newsome, and to them were born three children, Walter P., of Washington, D. C.; Thomas D., who, if living, is somewhere in the West, and another who died in infancy. His first wife having died in 1888, he was again married to Miss Ida C. Tripp, of Dancyville, Tenn., June 26, 1889, who, with their only daughter, Sadie, mourn the loss of a kind and loving husband and father.

Brother Ramsey professed religion when a boy fourteen years old, but neg lected to cultivate his talent and went astray. But, on returning from the war in 1865, he renewed his covenant with his Lord, and, in September of that year was gloriously redeemed, and henceforth dedicated his life to the service of God. In October following he was received into the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, by Rev. A. R. Wilson, and was licensed to exhort by Rev. John Moss, Presiding Elder of the Somerville District. In March, 1866, he was licensed to preach by the quarterly conference of Bolivar Station, Rev. T. L. Boswell, P. E.; and in November, 1867, was admitted on trial into the Memphis Annual Conference at Paducah, Ky., and appointed to Rock Springs Circuit, Jackson District. The next year he was sent to Hernando Circuit, then to Long Town, Hernando District, in what is now the North Mississipoi Conference. When the North Mississippi Conference was organized, Brother Ramsey was left in that territory, and so remained for eight years, and


then located at his own request and returned to Tennessee. After remaining in the local ranks for two years, he was readmitted into the Memphis Conference at Trenton, Tenn., November, 1880, and from then till 1907 he continued to go in and out among us, cheerfully bearing the hardships of the itinerant life, and was affectionately called "Uncle Tom." ·

He was ordained to the office of a deacon at Holly Springs, Miss., in 1869 by Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh, and to the office of elder at Corinth, Miss., in 1871, by the same Bishop.

In November, 1907, his health having failed, he was granted the superannuate relation by the Conference at Covington, Tenn., but before the year was out, his health having improved and a vacancy having occurred at Benton and Hardin charge, Paducah District, he was appointed to supply that work till Conference. This he did so acceptably, that at the Conference at Greenfield, Tenn., his health admitting, he was appointed to Benton and Hardin for another year But the latter part of that year his health failed again, and at the Conference at Paducah, Ky., he was again placed in the list of superannuates. He moved to Somerville, Tenn., with the view of going, soon as his health would permit, to live with his son, Walter, in Washington City. But this was not to be. His health continued to decline till on the morning of May 18, 1911, from the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Thurman in Somerville, Tenn., he moved to his home among the angels in the City of God.

As was said of Barnabas, we can truthfully say of Brother Ramsey: He was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost, and many people were added unto the Lord by his ministry. He baptized 500 infants, nearly douhl'e that number of adults, and received more than a thousand people into the church.

He never got to attend church but ·once during the last six months of his life, but that day he got very happy, and left the church rejoicing in a Savior's love. He suffered much but bore it patiently and heroically. Always cheerful, never complaining, and speaking of death as though it had no sting. As death tore down the earthly house, the inner man loomed up sword in hand and like a true knight refused to leave the building till the last beam fell. Then it was the spirit surrendered its mortality and went home to God. But, is he dead~ No; only the scene is shifted. The battle is still on, but it is now being fought by Him who conquered Death and brought life and immortality to light. Our Brother shall yet triumph, and rise again. He greatly loved his brethren of the ministry. Speaking of then often he said, ''Tell them I love them all.''

Brother Ramsey claimed to be only a sinner saved by grace, but he knew he was saved, and he loved to tell others about it. He never ran after new theories or new theology. He held to the old paths, and preached the plain old gospel story in language which the people understood. We feel it but truth to say that Rev. T. P. Ramsey was no ordinary man, though he lived and wrought within the limits of the ordinary. His robust body, his strong intellect, his indomitable courage and heroic spirit all indicated to us that, if he had received the early training and polishing which some have received, he would have been equal to any occasion and surpassed by few of his fellow men.

His remains sleep in the cemetery at Bolivar, Tenn., to await the resurrection morn. Blessings upon his wife, who nursed him so tenderly, upon his children, and upon those kind ones who opened their home and afforded the weary itinerant a place to rest and to die.

REV. SIMPSON WEAVER. Simpson Weaver was born in Overton County, Tennessee, October 23, 1823.

Of his childhood and youth, and of his early education, little is known to the writer, only this, that the rudiments were so well laid that he had working knowledge of how to use h:is tools in the mines of information.

He was admitted on trial into the Memphis Conference in 1852 at Brownsville, Tenn., and into full connection in 1854, at Somerville, where he was ordained deacon by Bishop Paine; and at Jackson, Tenn., in 1856, he was ordained elder by Bishop Early.

In a home of pious parents not far from Jackson he was early impressed by the claims of religion, but did not make a full committal of himself until he


was more than twenty years of age. Then it was a commitment without reserve, and privately and publicly he began Christian work. So successful was he, and so effective were his public appeals, that be was soon licensed to preach by that prince among preachers, Arthur Davis, and appointed junior preacher on the Purdy Circuit. :N"ext he was sent to Lexington Circuit, then to Camden, and then to Cageville. From there he was sent to the Hickman Circuit in Kentucky. Here he met the young woman who was to be his wife, Miss Louisiana Dement, and they were married the 8th day of October, 1857. The next year he served Friars Point, Miss., then back to Hickman, then to Paris Circuit, and then to Huntingdon. Then the distracting times of war came on, and when the strife was over he traveled several circuits until superannuation, but was even then in great demand, and did valuable work even to extreme age. In most respects he was a model circuit preacher, and his influence abides.

In their home nine children were born. Four are dead, but he gave the living the best advantage of school within reach. He labored and toiled for their good, and the building of the church, and, above everything, he coveted the salvation of men and women. In his prime he had rather a comely presence, a ruddy complexion with wonderful powers of endurance. •

He was a careful reader, and thought much upon what he read. Much he knew before it was even put into a book to be read. Nervously he was a powerful dynamo, and, in the pulpit when surcharged with his theme, this pentup energy escaped in utterance from his tongue, and in appeals that were at times simply irresistible. These utterances still find an echo in the hearts of the converts under his ministry. That tongue is now silent, the lips are dumb, but the sincere soul, that intense life, that pulsating nature, bore fruit that will ripen many days hence. There were dreams and visions in his last sickness that to him betokened the coming change, and sure enough he passed away at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Wagoner, at Fulton, Ky., August 5, 1911.

We laid his remains to rest beside his own precious dead at Chapel Hill, in the presence of his children in the gospel, his pastor, Brother Harrison, and Dr. Bolling, and the writer assisted in these last solemn rites.

ROBERT EDWIN BRASFIELD.

Robert Edwin Brasfield was born in Weakley County, Tennessee, August 23, 1847. He was reared on a farm in a cultured community, in which the church was the center of the social as well as the religious life of the community. He professed faith in Christ when he was about eighteen years old, and immediately joined the Methodist Church. He came of a sturdy religious family and had the advantage of good religious home training, which is the greatest of all heritages.

On February 12, 1868, he married Miss Virginia Lowell Clement. Of this union eight children were born, six of whom are now living-one daughter and five sons. These, together with their mother, are left to mourn their loss~ while a number of relatives and an innumerable host of friends join them in sympathetic sorrow.

In October, 1886, he was. licensed to preach by the quarterly conference of the Sharon Circuit, Union City District, Dr. W. T. Harris, Presiding Elder. He developed at once into a useful, local preacher. He preached at neglected points and rendered valuable help in revival meetings. His itinerant ministry began in the autumn of 1889, when he was appointed supply pastor of the Greenfield Circuit. He served this circuit two years as supply, was admitted on trial in 1891 and served this same circuit another year. He served Cayce Circuit in 1892-4, Henning Circuit 1894-8, Slater Circuit 1898-1900, at which time Slater Circuit was divided and formed· into two circuits. One part of it was made the Lovelaceville Circuit. He served the Lovelaceville Circuit two more years, making four in all. He then served Barlow Circuit 1902-6, Kevil Circuit 1906-10. Thus during the last sixteen years of his ministry he served but four charges extending the full limit of four years on each, a feat not accomplished by many ministers. Brother Brasfield was a builder as well as preacher, pastor and evangelist. Three parsonages stand to his credit-one at Lovelaceville, one at


Barlow and one at Kevil. Each of these were planned by Brother Brasfield, and much of the work was done by his own hands, for like the Master he was brought up at the carpenter's trade and his hands never lost their skill in this noble trade. Each of these are roomy and convenient parsonages, and will shelter weary itinerants, doubtless,. for years to come.

At the last session of the Conference in 1910, broken in health, he asked for and was granted a superannuate relation. During the active years of his ministry, he was one of the most effective and popular circuit preachers in the Memphis Conference. He was especially gifted in evangelistic work and was much sought after by his brethren in revival meetings. He conducted some great stirring revivals both in his own charges and in charges where he assisted his brethren. He was a vigorous thinker, a strong preacher, logical and forceful always and sometimes eloquent, and withal he was a fine pastor. He had the happy faculty of making every one he met his friend. This writer was associated with him four years, as his Presiding Elder, and was never associated with a more congenial, lovable man. After his superannuation he rapidly declined in health until May 5, 1911, when he fell on sleep. He has gone away from us and has received a good appointment in the ''House of Many Mansions," far above any our good Bishop had to give. We miss his genial, sunny face. His optimism and good cheer was a tonic to us all. His memory is precious to us. We shall not see him on earth again, but beyond the sunset we shall meet him and hold sweet fellowship where th~ rainbow never fades and the flowers bloom eternally.

''Beyond these chilly winds and gloomy skies, Beyond death 's cloudy portal,

There is a land where beauty never fades, And love becomes immortal.''

REV .. GRANT T. SULLIVAN, D. D.

Rev. Grant T. Sullivan, D. D., son of Rev. Nathan and Mary Sullivan, of the Memphis Conference, and grandson of Rev. Jacob Sullivan, of North Carolina, was born in Brownsville, Tenn., February 20, 1853, and died in Broadway parsonage, Paducah, Ky., August 29, 1911.

Being the son of an itinerant preacher, he grew to manhood in an atmosphere most conducive to the life and labors which he followed. In early manhood he was known as gentle and loving in disposition, which qualities increasei! with the years.

He was twice married, marrying sisters; two daughters, children of the second marriage, their mother, and a son, a child of the :first marriage, survive him. Sister Sullivan and daughters, Mrs. H. M. Olliver and Miss Rose Sullivan, reside at Union City, Tenn. His son, Dr. Hugh Sullivan, resides at Gadsden, Tenn.

When sixteen years of age he was happily converted and joined the church at once. He attended school at Union Academy in Madison County, Tennessee, studying Latin and Greek under a private teacher, Prof. I. B. Day.

He was Iicenseu to preach in September, 1873, at Wright's Camp Ground, Rev. H. B. Avery, Presiding Elder, anu was admitted on trial into the traveling connection in the Memphis Conference at Paducalr, Ky., in November, 1875, Bishop David S. Doggett presiding. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Keener, and admitted into full connection, at Brownsvme, Tenn., November, 1877, and was ordained elder by Bishop Kavanaugh at Mayfield, Ky., November, 1879. A few more months would have completed thirty-six years of unbroken service in the ministry. Brother Sullivan served charges as follows: one year jumor preacher on Purdy Circuit, and at the same time principal of the high school at Purdy; Spring Creek Circuit, two years; Dyersburg Station, two years; Kenton and Boyts, one year; Union City Station, three years; Mayfield St:;ttion, one year; Clinton Station, four years; Covington Station, four years; Second Church (Hernando Street), Memphis, three years; First Church, Jackson, four years; Presiding Elder of the Memphis District four years i Paris Station, three years; and Broadway, Paducah, Ky., nearly four years, from which place he was called from labor to reward.


One of the :first requisites of a good and useful man is to be good hearted, and this he was in an eminent degree. He came as near seeing good, or the good, in everybody as any man I have ever known. To him an audience looked the largest, a service seemed the best, a song sonded the sweetest, the service rendered him was the kindest. If he were ever forgotten or slighted he seemed not to know it. He could and would make the largest aliowance for the most trifling man. True he had limitations as have all others, but, in view of the many and high grade excellencies which he possessed, one would be ashamed to mention them.

He read much, was always familiar with current events, especially those of the Church. In his country and her welfare he never lost interest, publicly and privately denouncing lawlessness and encouraging Christian patriotism. As a husband and a father his life was above reproach. As in his charge, so in his family, he had looked so diligently after all interests that they were at a loss to know what to do without him. As a worker he was tireless, often going at the last beyond his physical strength. No interest of the Church went without his attention. He had a place and a part in everything. Long study and experience had enabled him to know what to tlo and how it should be done.

Places of prominence and large possibilities had been offered him, but he always preferred the regular ministry. Though a man in demand, he was ever loyal to the itinerancy. For one who did not make it a specialty, he wrote well; his purpose doubtless being to present the truth so that any and all could appropriate it. His preaching was simple, practical and scriptural, reminding us of the Master's, for the poor and afflicted heard him gladly, whom he delighted to comfort and make welcome in his church.

He served the Conference sixteen years as the Secretary of its Church Extension Board, and was President of that Board at the time of his death. As a Presiding Elder he did well, was a good manager of the general business of the church, and was considered a safe counselor. But as a pastor he excelled. He was unquestionably the best in the Conference. He had in an unusual degree the happy faculty of remembering persons, calling their names and mentioning former meetings, and so he held. a large circle of friends. If you had a visitor he would call upon him, invite him to attend the services of his church, and show him other seemly courtesies. The sick and the shut in he never forgot. If you had a sorrow or a joy he would share it with you. The need of any of his flock was made an object of prayer in the services. He knew the chil· dren, even remembering the names of their dolls. He carried and sent many flowers to the sick. He constantly did all these things and more, besides attending to all his services, contributing weekly to the press, giving due attention to his family and friends, enfeebled by disease as he was, until he bodily fell down to go· no more.

Full many a man would have let go the cares of life and likely have lengthened his days, but with Dr. Sullivan all his days were full, overflowing, to the end, and so after all his course may have had the most of life. He is gone and missed, but we shall see him again in a better time and place. Thank God for the life and labors of Grant T. Sullivan.
