Vanderbilt University-The following paper relative to Mr. Carnegie's gift to Vanderbilt University was adopted by a unanimous rising vote:

We claim that Christian denominations are to be most depended upon for the Christian education of our youth. Our own Church has made gratifying, not to say, satisfactory, success in the necessary and glorious work proposed in her nonsectarian Church schools. We rejoice that she is magnifying her educational work more than ever before, and that, in it, she is abreast with, if not in the lead of the progressive public spirit of our day. She originates, sustains, and controls our training schools, col­leges, and universities. She proved her ability to do so, and she has an inalienable right to own and control her educational institutions accord­ing to her own judgment and wish, in harmony with civil laws.

Therefore, Resolved, That we commend and indorse the four Trustees of Vanderbilt University in their protest, and our Bishops in their veto, against the acceptance of Mr. Carnegie's offer of money for the benefit of a department in the University, offered as it was with such conditions and stipulations.

(Signed) G. W. WILSON, A. B. JONES, W. C. WATERS.

JOINT BOARD OF FINANCE. Report No. !-Standing Rules of the Memphis Conference.

STANDING RULES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE. 1. The Presiding Elders shall constitute a committee to nominate the

Boards and Standing Committees of this Conference from time to time. 2.The Presiding Elders, as appointed from time to time by the Bishop

Report No. 2-Superannuate Endowment Fund. There was assessed for this fund the sum of $500.00 at the last session of

this Conference, which was distributed to the various Districts, and paid as follows:

on this Conference, but to provide for it, as hereinafter directed. All deficits on Memphis District were caused by the transfer of Macon

Circuit from that District to the Jackson.

Superannuate Homes. We report two homes, one at Brownsville, Tenn., occupied by Rev. W.

L. Duckworth, and one at Obion, Tenn., that is rented. These homes are well fitted for occupancy by our preachers, and we

much prefer that they be used by those for whom they are built, than that they should be rente~ out. They cannot always be occupied, and the repairs and insurance decrease the amount of rentals received from them, and it is certainly better that our preachers use them if they can do so.

We have two iots, one in Rutherford, Tenn., and one in Barlow, Ky., upon which to build homes when needed.

The rental from the home at Obion is turned into· the emergency fund and used for the payment of expenses that arise from time to time in cases of unlooked for calls to aid our preachers in emergencies.

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 47

The net amount received from the Obion Home this year by this Board and paid to the emergency fund is $72.55.

Total amount distributed ................................................ $10,225.00 While this fund is not so large as we would wish, but it is a source of

much comfort and joy to many worthy beneficiaries who are the Lord's needy and the Church's wards. You or your loved ones may soon become claimants upon this most sacred fund, and as you value their comfort, and would desire them provided for and protected, and yourself aided, let us appeal to you to put forth an earnest and untiring effort to colleCt this assessment in full. The urgent, yet very modest appeal that comes up to us from these very worthy claimants, is enough to melt a heart of stone.

ASSESSMENTS FOR THE CONFERENCE YEAR 1913-14. Conference Claimants' Fund.

On account of the increased number of claimants and the increased needs of other beneficiaries, this Board makes an assessment of $12,000.00 for this fund, 8 per cent of collections on same be turned into the Super­annuate Endowment Fund, instead of a separate assessment as heretofore referred to.

BOARD OF MISSIONS. Report No. 1.

To the Bishop and Members of the Conference: Dear Brethren:-Your Board of Missions has been very much embar­

rassed, during the year to meet its obligations, to pastors of charges, un­der its care; and we come to you with the following resolution for your adoption. ·

Resolved, That as pastors and laymen, we will do our best to have all our Conference Mission assessment in the hands of the Treasurer by the first of March, next.

Respectfully submitted, J. H. ROBERTS, Chairman, W. A. RUSSELL, Secretary.

Report No. 2. Dear Brethren:-We talk of world movements and crucial hours. We

tell of battles of war and sing of our military heroes. We speak of our money kings, and the wealth of the world they hold in their hands. We publish abroad the latest truth discovered by science and philosophy in the realm of mind and matter and wonder what will come next. We boast of our great country, its freedom of speech and press. But have we ever really stopped to think and talk of the mighty movement of the Kingdom of God? What did that world movement and crucial hour mean in the history of China when last April this year of our Lord, 1913, she sent out to the Christian world this request, "We desire that on the 27th day of April the Christian world remember us in prayer." What battles have been waged, what battles have been won, how many of God's hosts have gone down in death and rest in unmarked graves to bring this and other mighty movements to pass. What captains of finance have so han-

52 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

died their coffers of gold as to bring about the results that these unknown heroes of the Cross have brought in handling the little pittance sent them coupling it on to prayer and faith? Sceince and philosophy have done much in this world but life has always preceded them. "I am the Life­Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature, and Lo I am with you always." The subject of Missions has at last struck the hour of high twelve. It is a world thought and a world movement.

The recent world Conference of Missions in Edinburgh struck this high noon hour; it marks the beginning of a new era in the missionary venture and conquest. Probably no meeting in modern times has so ar­rested the serious attention of the world; never before was the missionary responsibility, or problem, or hope so particularly delineated and so con­vincingly set in array. The new possibilities of intercommunication be­tween the nations o"f the earth by the crumbling of some old faiths and the reinvigorating of others, fairly dazzles the bewildered gaze of the disciples of the Lord and calls for a majestic faith.

Our own Board has responded to the impulse of the new day broaden­"ing its work and accentuating its appeal, and through the different Boards of all the churches we have the same response.

What do we hear from that great wing Army the Congregational Church assembled at Kansas City? "We are coming with more men and money." And from that Christian body of men and women the Protestant Episco­pal Church assembled in New York City these words: "Let us throw our best men into the far flung battle lines of the heathen world and make our largest and best gifts in prayer and money for their support." Last week in Indianapolis, Ind., our sister Methodism, their keynote was, "Let us increase missionary intelligence and deepen spiritual life that Methodism may evangelize her share of the world." Our own Church too is responding to the appeal with more men and money. Our own dear Bishop Lambuth has recently established a new field of operation in South Africa; while we have at home the movement just inaugurated in connection with other Mission Boards under the Southern Missionary News Bureau. This service is already being sent to 5,000 secular papers in the South. Then there was the great Junaluska Conference held last summer, the greatest of the kind ever held in our Church. But while all this is true there are still fields white for the harvest awaiting the reap­ers. Not yet have we responded to the point of adequate sacrifice to the New Missionary Appeal. Not yet have we accepted our full share of the responsibility which is ours for the inbringing of the Kingdom of God. Not yet have we many prodigal givers to this call of our leader. We are gratified with the advance made in our own Conference yet the need is upon us to do greater things. We were assessed for Foreign Missions the past year. $15,100.00, paid $12,628.86. Paid Specials $7,836.66. Total for Foreign Missions, $20,465.52. We were assessed for Home and Confer­ence Missions $15,000.00. Paid $13,877.32. Total Missions raised by your Board, $34,342.84.

The 'Vomen's Missionary Department totals $18,220.07, making a grand total for Missions of $52,562.91; The General Board of Missions has as­sessed this Conference for Foreign Missions $15,100.00, and we have ap­portioned to the Districts as follows:

We recommend that Rev. W. A. Russell be appointed Conference Mis­sionary Secretary. The General Board of Missions will send a team of their own staff into the bounds of our Con.ference the ensuing year and touch four or five centers of population in missionary mass meetings. We hope from these may go out an influence that shall bring our entire Conference to a spirit of readiness to do larger things for this great in­terest. The special end sought by their coming will be to ext.end the spirit and purpose of the great Junaluska Conference of last June, tha:t others may have part in raising the $250,000.00 for conservation of our present missionary assets.

They propose staying long enough at each place to tie up the work in hand.

54 MINUTES OF THE MEMPffiS CONFERENCE

Missionary Literature and Else. Your Board has received from the General Board a copy of the mailing·

list of the "Missionary Voice." We find that with more than 70,000 mem­bers in our Conference, we receive only 965 copies. We emphasize the importance of a larger circulation of this efficient ally of the great mis­sionary cause, and urge our pastors and lay leaders to give the "Voice" its intended place that it may serve its great purpose. We commend heartily "The Report of the Junaluska Conference." Let our people read this volume and learn more of the leadership of the Holy Spirit in Mis­sions. We again urge our pastors and other leaders to call on the General Board of Missions for various booklets and leaflets that are to be had for the asking.

Dear Brethren, your board wishes to record its sincere thanks to the Presiding Elders, pastors and laymen who have labored so earnestly to make possible the total reported for missions; and with eager and prayer­ful hearts let us enter the new year determined to do even more than the last.

CHURCH EXTENSION. Your .Board of Church Extension is glad to report that in every depart­

ment of our work there seems to be an increase in enthusiasm and in­terest. We believe this is always true where the work is properly em­phasized. We believe the chief obstacle in the way of the progress of our work is a lack of publicity. The rank and file of our people know but little concerning any of our institutions and less about Church Extension than any other. While Missions, Education and Sunday School Interests

OF THEM. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 55

are represented by secretaries and periodical publications the great cause of Church Extension has but one General Secretary and is dependent upon the Church press generally and upon the pulpit for a hearing before the masses of our people. Just here, will be said, that it would be quite interesting, but doubtless equally ·as embarrassing, to know how many preachers now present have ever at any time preached a sermon on Church Extension.

General Loan Fund. At the meeting of the parent Board in Dallas much applause followed

the announcement by Dr. ·McMurry that the Loan Fund had at last reached the half million dollar goal set by the Board thirty years ago. Let us thank God, take courage and keep up the campaign. The comple­tion of any task is but the preparation for greater one. A half million Loan Fund thirty years ago would have been great but it is inadequate to the needs of 1913. Our country has grown during the last three decades by leaps and bounds. The population has almost doubled. The Church must keep abreast of this march of progress. Demands for help are in­creasing far beynnd our ability to help and the Board has resolved to increase our Loan Fund to a million dollars. No one can contribute to a fund where the possibilities for good are greater or more enduring.

Conference Loan Funds. There are now in our Church thirty-three Conference Loan Funds,

not taking into consideration several District Loan Funds, and the Mem­phis Conference is not among the number. We are fully convinced that in many instances a loan will accomplish as much and even more than a donation. we believe that the time has fully come to stress very vigor­ously the work of establishing and building up a Memphis Conference Loan Fund. To this end, your Board will direct not less than 25 per cent of our assessments to go toward the establishment of such a fund.

Sunday School Loan Fund. In the importance of the Sunday School as a means of instilling knowl­

edge of Church Extension has for some time been recognized and pro­vided for by our General Secretary. He will send Birthday Jars free of charge to any school agreeing to faithfully use same. There are only twenty-five of these in use in our Conference. Let the number be greatly increased in order that our children and young people be educated and brought into vital touch with this great work.

Literature. A catalogue of Church Extension Literature appears on page 520-22 of

the Hand-Book. These publications will be sent free of charge to those who apply. Let our pastors get them, read them, and give them to our people. They are bright, brief, brotherly and very interesting and if distributed among our people, will make the Church Extension Assess­ment easy to get.

Assessments. Your General Board has assessed the Memphis Conference $9,818.00,

which has been apportioned to the several Districts as follows: Districts. Assessment.

REPORT OF THE EPWORTH LEAGUE BOARD. Dear Brethren :-In the recent annual report of Dr. F. S. Parker, our

General Epworth League Secretary, he says: "In its local chapter meet­ings, City and District Unions, Conference and State organizations and Central Office, the Epworth League has shown much vitality during the past year.

The recent meeting of the Board at Dallas, Texas, was one of the most encouraging in our history; and the round of Annual Conference League meetings, demonstrates a wonderful efficiency on the part of our young people in managing, financing, and providing for the programs at these meetings. During the past twelve months we have chartered 334 new chapters, with a membership of 7,691."

We are much pleased to note that during the past year there has been an increase in the number of chapters and members. Eleven new chap­ters, with an increase of nearly 400 members, while not great growth, encourages us to be~ieve that we are entering a period of prosperity. Emphasis is put on the cause of Missions, with special reference to the Cuba Special. .

It is to be regret~ed that many of our churches have no Epworth Leagues. "The fact that from 75 to 90 per cent of the boys and a less, though distressingly large, per cent of the girls leave and are lost to our Sunday Schools between the ages of fifteen and seventeen should make all earnest pastors of Christ's flock consider whether the Sunday School apart from the young people's society, is a sufficient agency for churching the young people. The Junior League especially is invaluable for the purpose of bridging over this critical period, and our Boys' League plans are most earnestly commended for use throughout the Church.

The Epworth League and Missions. "During the past year our Epworth Leagues contributed $10,000.00 to

the Cuba Special, which enabled the Board to meet the conditions of the generous gift by which Candler College has become a substantial and beautiful fact. The total of the special gifts of the Leagues for Mission during the year is $31,000.00." .

We have reason to believe that the Missionary Department of the Mem,;, phis Conference Epworth League is about to enter .upon a year of un­usual activity and success. Mr. E. M. Clerc of Newbern, Tenn., is the head of this department, and we heartily commend him to our pastors and young people throughout the Conference.

We urge our pastors and leagues to give earnest and prompt attention to the payment of the 10 cent assessment. Also let emphasis be put upon the Anniversary Day offering to be taken in May.

Conventions and Conferences. We call attention to the Ninth International Convention which will be

held at Buffalo, N. Y., July 1-5, 1914. The significance of this meeting is such that we should have a large delegation from our Conference.

The Memphis Conference League Conference will be held at Greenfield, Tenn., June 9-11, 1914. A carefully thought out program will be pre-

58 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

pared, and a great Conference is expected. The Conference held at Jack­son last June was the best in our history. But we hope to make the one at Greenfield better still. The Conference Board and the Conference Cabinet act together for the success of these annual meetings.

It is recommended that at least one Epworth League Institute be held in every district as early in the year as possible.

We recommend and urge that all our pastors give careful attention and sufficient time to this department of service. The President of the Con­ference organization or the President of the Conference Board will be glad to help in any way possible to this end. Dr. Parker, our General Secretary, will furnish needed literature.

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

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

The fact as shown by the world's Sunday School Convention in Zurich~ Switzerland, in July last that there are now 28,011,194 persons enrolled in the Protestant Sunday Schools of the world, with a gain of 690,295 during the past three years, an aggregate larger than the combined stand­ing armies of all the nations of earth, invests this old, yet ever new sub­ject with exceeding fresh interest.

The very bulk of the institution furnishes an opporunity for service of unparalleled vastness. The constituency of the School holds immense areas of virgin soil. The seed of the Kingdom which we sow is unfailing fruition when faithfully planted in well prepared ground. The yield has gained in ratio during the decades, and we can now report 85 per cent as the average gathering where anything like faithful work had been done by those handling the seed and the soil.

It is said that Abraham could be tracked through Canaan by the altars he built, and that he trained his family and servants at those altars. The altar is the supreme goal of the Sunday School amJ if we fail in bringing our scholars to a knowledge of Jesus Christ the Saviour and into the fold of the church, great is our failure and the school may become an ultimate hindrance rather than a stepping into the kingdom of God. So that more than all the excellent equipment, more than all the fine teaching of the modern Sunday School is the teacher's life of faith and faithful service and godly living.

Therefore, the point of greatest emphasis at this time is the necessity for an actual Christian experience on the part of our Sunday School 'workers, and with the charm of a living union with Christ Jesus we can without disparaging any aids to the work depend upon the Christian teacher to bring many into the church by faith in Him.

Extension Work. Our experience last year in using a Field Secretary encouraged us to

try it again this year, so that we had the services of Mr. T. M. DeShazo, a student in the Theological Department of· Vanderbilt University, for three months.

Of course this brief time employed would not permit covering the en­tire Conference, but much work was done in several districts. As a result of Mr. DeShazo's work, quite a number of Cradle Rolls, Home De­partments, Wesley Adult Bible classes, and Teacher Training classes were organized and set going more or less efficiently according to the leader­ship at command. A large amount of our Sunday School literature was distributed, many individual schools visited and helped by suggesting better methods in sundry directions.

By the testimony of many who worked with our Field Secretary we are satisfied that very considerable assistance was given by him. There­fore, with the results attained by the partial time given during the past

OF THEM. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 59

two years we are persuaded that we should now employ a Field Secre-tary for his whole time so soon as a suitable person can be found. .

The Chair of Religious Pedagogy and Sunday Schools in Vanderbilt University.

It is a cheering piece of news to report that the Sunday School Boards of the various annual conferences will almost certainly complete the payment of $50,000.00 to endow a Chair of Religious Pedagogy and Sun­day Schools in the Theological Department of Vanuerbilt University this year as provided by the General Conference of 1906. · This Chair will furnish a thorough study of all phases of Sunday School work and will become a permanent feature of the Theological Department of the University.

After the Chair Is Finished. After the fund for the foregoing chair is accomplished a much wider

scope will be given to the work of our General Sunday School Board, as also already provided for by the last General Conference, in that more General Field Secretaries representing the Board will be put to work as soon as possible, giving all the assistance that can be afforded to the work in each annual Conference.

The establishing the chair at a cost of $50,000.00 raised by the little contributions of several thousand Sunday Schools is a splendid tribute to the ability of our Sunday Schools to do great things when they com­bine in a noble phalanx for a fine undertaking.

A Galaxy of Writers. The body of special literature necessary to the present day Sunday

School is something undreamed of twenty years ago, and it furnishes a contribution to the general sum of Biblical knowledge and methods in religious education that must tell largely upon future generations.

We have a galaxy of writers who furnish our literature of whom we may well feel properly proud, as they stand abreast of the best in our country and have brought the standard of our literature to a high level.

We are much gratified to know that our people are generally loyal to our own publications and that very little literature coming from else­where is being used in our bounds.

We hope to build up strong institutions of our own only by the utmost fidelity on the part of our entire constituency and we again urge the use of our full line of Sunday School literature.

Happy Children's Day. May Day Children's Day has become so well established as one of the

great opportunities of our schools, to become a blessing in so· many directions by its offering that it is little wonder that even large numbers of small schools are making most generous gifts when they fully under­stand the genius of the institution and how far reaching the benefits are.

It is quite significant that the largest offerings relatively that have come to our Board for several years, are from circuits and small towns or city suburban churches.

Banner Districts. For the third year consecutively the Brownsville District, shows up

with an observance and an offering from every school in the District-a splendid banner record.

The Memphis District for the second year has the banner for having the funds from every charge in the District, in the hands of the Treasurer amply before the convening of Conference.

Brownsville District came in only a week later and has the second place, while the Jackson and Paris Districts have the honor of the third and fourth places and for the first time for those Districts.

On account of our anniversary always occurring on the first night of

60 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

the Conference, u·is highly important that the funds from every charge in every District reach the Treasurer before Conference in order that we make full report of same.

We are indeed glad to say that this year only two charges out of 180 failed to have funds in the hands of our Treasurer before Conference opened.

Rally Day. As a fall effort day of such promise, it is not as generally observed as

. its plans and possibilities deserve. In most of our schools perhaps, the offering of this day has been de­

voted to foreign missions, the paying of special pledges for native work­ers, scholarships in mission schools and other kindred obligations.

With the great tide that has set toward the evangelization of the whole world in this generation, we should cultivate in our schools through Rally Day not only the grace of giving money but even more particularly the offering of lives for mission work. .

Surely if we are ever to have a great company of givers of service and substance we will have to grow them in our schools by actual practice, and Rally Day furnishes one of the happiest mediums for doing this much needed work. · Our Publishing House through its Sunday School Supply Department,

issues annually an attractive Rally Day program, and we again urge our Sup~rintendents to use it freely in whole or in part, as circumstances may suggest. ·

THE WESLEY ADULT BIBLE CLASS. We call very special attention to the Wesley Adult Bible Class, as an

exceptional opportunity to expand the forces of our Sunday School, in­asmuch as there are hundreds of adult men and women in many com­munities who have no connection with any Sunday School and yet with earnest effort may be secured through the attractive and profitable plans inaugurated by the Wesley Adult Bible Class Department.

The large number of Adult Classes organized all over the connection during the past three years has brought great strength to our Sunday School Army.

Our pastors and superintendents can do nothing better to enlist the adult membership of the Church not now identified with the Sunday School, and others in every community not in the Church, than to organ­ize a live active Wesley Adult Bible Class.

Rev. Chas. D. Bulla, Superintendent, will gladly assist with literature and otherwise any who are interested in the matter, if they will but communicate with him at 810 Broadway, Nashville, Tenn.

Teacher Training. There has never been a time in the history of our Sunday School move·

ment when teachers needed more than now the benefit of a course of genuine training for their work.

Dr. H. M. Hamill, Superintendent of Teacher Training in our Church, has an international reputation as a great teacher of teachers.

Our teachers should have a noble ambition to excel in the great work committed to their hands, and nothing outside of a vital faith in Jesus Christ will so surely help in their serious labor as a well ordered Teach­ers' Training Course, such as is administered by our Teacher Training Department.

We beg that many hundreds of our teachers may avail' themselves of this splendid training course this year.

Sunday School Loan Fund. For several years a Loan Fund has been steadily growing in the office

of Rev. W. F. McMurry, Secretary of our General Board of Church Ex-

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 61

tension, Louisville, Ky., as a result of the birthday offerings of many Sunday Schools.

This Sunday School Loan Fund is used only to assist congregations in building houses of worship with adequate and modern equipment for Sunday School work. This fund has now a capital of $4,561.81.

Our Church Extension Board earnestly asks the co-operation of our Sunday Schools in this small way of helping a great and much needed work. Birthday jars will be sent along with ample literature without charge on application. We heartily commend this easy way of assisting a very important enterprise of the Church.

BIBLE CAUSE.

Your Committe on Bible Cause make the following report: "The Sword of the Spirit," which is the word of God; we deem the

Book of Books, and it should be more widely circulated than it now is. The "Truth" is the fortifying power against the wiles of the devil. The cheapness of the publication puts this book within the reach of the poor class of our people. There is no better agency for thus printing a Bible obtainable by the poor, than the American Bible Socie_ty. We can furnish on application a good, well bound, clear type, Bible complete, for 17 c&ts plus the postage. The New Testament as cheap as five cents.

The Board of Managers on May 9, 1912, show volumes printed and dis­tributed during the year to be 3,691,201. These are going into all foreign fields, printed in seventy languages, and funds are needed to meet the large demand on this Society, trying to supply the foreign missionaries with an adequate number of Bibles and Testaments to meet the needs, The last foreign distribution was 1,853,845 volumes. The American Bible Society on proper application will furnish Bibles to persons needing them for free distribution, when assured they are thus needed, and will be used for Christian educational purposes. The small assessment on our charges when paid enables the Society to do this great work. Be­cause of the smallness of the assessment we, your Conference Board, fear we treat this great work with too much lightness and disregard. There seems to be with some the idea if anything is left we will give it to the American Bible Society. Only four charges this year failed to pay some­thing-we are glad to report, and we are delighted to note the vast im­provement this year in the percentage in collections by districts and charges over any previous year, apd decrease in charges not paying any­thing. We sincerely hope the coming year will give us, all charges in full, in the entire Conference. This we can do by rememb.ering that this wing of our Conference collections is of equal importance to any, and that our foreign missionaries in foreign fields are supplied largely through this medium.

BOARD OF EDUCATION. Report No. 1.

Dear Brethren:-Your Board of Education, in its annual report in the session of 1911, said: "Your Board of Education is devoted to the policy and interests of its Training Schools-five in number."

In the report of 1912, your Board repeated its declaration of the policy in the following words: "In the second place there is more confident commitment of the Board to the building up, strengthening and inspiring a few well located Training Schools."

We as a Board reaffirm our devotion to this cause. We believe there is a large and well defined need of a few properly located and well equipped schools of this class. We have three plants in the bounds of this Conference, to-wit: McTyeire, at McKenzie, Tenn.; McFerrin, at Martin, Tenn., and Marvin University School at .Clinton, Ky.

It is the policy of our Board to co-operate with these schools in the equipment of their plants and the improvement of their facilities to such an extent as our available funds will allow and their patronage and suc­cess will justify.

In this connection we present to your body the request of McFerrin School at Martiq, Tenn., and the Marvin University School at Clinton, Ky., of closer relations to the Conference. The property of both schools is held by incorporated Boards by titles which convey the property to our Church to be used according to our rules and regulations. They desire that in the future all vacancies in their respective Boards be filled subject to the approval of this body and that no one shall serve as trustee until his election has been confirmed by the Memphis Conference.

We recommend that the Conference assume the confirmation of these

64 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

Boards as they request. We are not asked to assume any further obliga­tions than our present policy invol;ves.

It is the judgment of your Board of Education that a Conference Secre­tary of Education be kept constantly in the field if a suitable man is available, whose work shall be:

To preach on Christian Education throughout the Conference. To encourage our people to educate our children in our Church Schools. To distribute literature upon the subject of Christian Education, and

in other ways promote the development of educational sentiment. To do under the direction of this Board any work needed by any of our

Conference Schools. We ask the Conference's endorsement of this policy ..

S. L. JEWELL, President, YATES·MOORE, Secretary.

Report No. 2. We rejoice to learn from the report of the Corresponding Secretary of

the General Board of Education, that this has been a year of great and successful activity in educational work in many parts of our Church. Such achievements as that of Texas Methodism for the launching of the Southern Methodist University, should be a source of encouragement, as well as of inspiration throughout our entire connection, and as we have a great educational responsibility resting on us as a Conference let us go forward as one man to a successful issue in its fulfillment.

For the benefit of our young preachers, your Board will again appro­priate $200.00 to Vanderbilt Biblical Institute, and encourage our young men to attend its session·s.

As there is great need of more well trained and capable m~n in the .pastorate and mission work of our Church, both home and foreign, we call the attention of our pastors to the provision of Discipline for an annual sermon on the clatms of ministry, and also urge the observance of Vocation Day in all our Sunday Schools. According to information secured by the Department of Ministerial Supply and Training, "Those who are now entering our ministry are being received on trial at the average age of thirty-thirteen years after they are called to precah: And even after the lapse of thirteen years, half of the men have never been to college; less than •a fifth of them have taken a complete college course; more than eighty-five per cent have had no theological training whatever; while only three or four per cent are graduates in theology." This condition may be improved by observance of the above suggestions, fo1Iowed by a sympathetic guidance on the part of the presiding elders and pastors of those who feel cal1ed to preach, to sources of better preparation; and also by the annual conferences enforcing a high stand­ard of admission on trial. We commend the Department of Ministerial Supply and Training for its good work along this line; and we endorse the connectional educational fund . administered by this department.

We are glad to learn of the plan to hold a great educational conference in N ashviU.e in January· or February next, to be composed of educators and representatives of conference boards; and have made provision for the attendance of representatives of our own board.

We urge on our preachers and people that they secure and read the excellent literature of our General Board, which is to be had without money and without price.

In line with the suggestion brought to our attention by Mr. W. R. Bourne, State High School Inspector, we recommend that our pastors give more active support to the state schools in their charges; that they pay frequent visits to these schools; and that they urge their people to give better facilities for the training of their children; that they assist in the survey now being made of the rural school situation, by making a report of conditions in the country and small towns; and that in every

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 65

possible way, they co-operate with school interests for social and moral ~~ .

We recommend that the first Sunday in June be observed as Educa­tional Day, throughout our Conference.

M. C. F. I. At the last session of Annual Conference, the Rev. S. L. Jewell was

appointed Conference Secretary of Education, his especial work being the task of raising funds for the M. C. F. I. Owing to the condition of the Conference and the unsettled condition of negotiations for the transfer of the property, he resigned his position in May, 1913.

It is not the judgment of your Board of Education that the canvass can be successfully prosecuted until the actual transfer of the property to the Conference Board of Trustees, is settled finally.

The Holding Board of Trustees at Jackson, Tenn., have signified to this Board their readiness to make a title agreeing fully with the agree­ment originally entered into. We, therefore, recommend that the Con­ference Board of Trustees take steps at once to have the title transferred and we appoint J. R. Rison, G. E. Bowden and Rev. C. A. Waterfield as a special committee representing this Board to see that the deed guarantees to the Conference Board of Trustees of the M. C. F. I. the right to locate the school "In Jackson or vicinity."

When this transfer is made, your Board of Education agrees to co­operate to the full extent of its ability in its effort to meet the Confer­ence's obligation.

SPIRITUAL INTERESTS. We are sorry to note that family worship is neglected among many of

our people. We think the matter of home religion be one of far-reaching importance and worthy of serious consideration and speedy adoption on the part of every member of our Church. At the same time we are glad to report that many family altars have been erected during the year. The spiritual life of the Church will never rise above the spiritual life of the home. Children are growing up around our firesides that need to be im­pressed with the vital character of our holy religion, and nothing so ac­complishes this desired end as the regular observance of domestic wor­ship.

We would respectfully suggest that our pastors, lay leaders, and stew­ards, lay special emphasis upon the stupendous importance of having every home within the borders of our several charges to become houses of prayer and temples of praise. .

Furthermore, we would call special attention to the necessity of guard­ing sacredly against the approaches of worldliness-not only in the form of hurtful amusements and pastimes, which should at all times be vigor­ously condemned-but likewise including all things in the world upon which affections are falsely set.

All social events and activities coming under our auspices should be properly censored and if objectionable features be found, they should be promptly eliminated.

Again it is the opinion of your commitee that too high a place cannot be ascribed to the office of pastoral visitation. The visit that has no · higher object than "to sit and talk," as some visits are characterized by our good Bishop, is poor indeed, and in no way entitled to a term so thoroughly expressive of a binding pastoral office, and so long honored in the annals of Evangelical Protestantism as that of pastoral visitation. But the visit which is synonymous of persistent personal Evangelism, or has for its object the luring of souls into the deeper realizations of the

eternal verities of God are altogether laudable and praiseworthy and well pleasing in the sight of Him whose we are and whom we serve. Popularity should never be the object of our quest but the salvation of the souls of those to whom we minister. This should be our first and last thought and altogether embody the burning and enthusiastic passion of our entire ministry.

We rejoice to note the religious awakenings that have characterized many of our charges during the past year and we earnestly recommend that efforts along similar lines be increased until a glowing and an ab­sorbing spirit of propaganda shall be felt in every heart and a burden for souls be borne by every individual Chrsitian that shall be tantamount to a perfect holocaust of burning love for those who are lost and whom the eternal Christ has agonized to save.

LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT. The committee appointed by the Memphis Annual Conference in session

at Martin, Tenn., met and the following members were present: J. R. Pepper, B. P. Moore, T. B. King, C. J. Barlow, T. N. Wilkes, D. R. Holland, C. E. Harrison, T. C. Long and J. F. Parker. J. F. Parker was elected chairman, and C. E. Harrison was elected secretary.

A report was re.ceived from the Conference lay leader, which was read and adopted. Owing to the illness of Bro. J. B. Howell and the request from his family that he b~ relieved of the work, we, your committee, recommend Bro. T. C. Long as Conference Leader.

J. F. Parker was requested to write Bro. J. B. Howell and send him love and sympathy in this hour of affliction.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE JOURNALS. Dear Brethren:-Your Committee on District Conference Journals

would submit the following report: First, we take great pleasure in noting that all the Journals have been

in the hands of the committee, and as a whole the records of our District Conferences have been well kept. We, however, offer the following criticisms:

In the Journal of the Union City District, no signature of or for the one presiding at the District Conference appears. The word lead occurs where the word led was intended; otherwise the Journal has been well

keptThe Paris District Conference Journal contains nothing to indicate who were present at the District Conference, there being no roll of mem­bers.

We also note the word leisure where the word pleasure was meant, otherwise this Journal has been well kept.

In the Paducah District Journal, the nomination and election of the Secretary is entirely omitted from the minutes. We also note a tendency to abbreviate sometimes at the expense of clearness, otherwise the Padu­cah District Journal has been well kept.

The Journals from the Memphis, Dyersburg, Jackson, Lexington and Brownsville Districts have all been well kept.

Respectfuly submited by your committee, W. E. SEWELL, Chairman, W. L. DRAKE, Secretary.

68 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

RUSSIAN JEWS. Whereas, the public press of the world is fillel with stories of the

revival of a middle age superstition and consequent persecution against the Jews of Russia, therefore be it

Resolved, by the Memphis Conference in session at Martin, Tenn., No­vember, 1913:

First, That our sympathy as men and our love as Christians are ex­tended to the Russian Jews in the persecution which they suffer on ac­count of their racial inheritance. · Second, That as men and Christians we are indignant that any govern­ment in this humanitarian age, or any church which claims the name of Jesus, Son of Mary, and Son of God, should abase itself by giving support to such a race bitterness and persecution especially against that great family from which, in His earthly lineage, came Jesus, our Lord.

Third, That as freemen of a great Christian republic, we protest against this horror of blood, and this monstrous interpretation of Christian charity.

HOSPITAL.

CLEANTH BROOKS, T. E. SHARP, T. W. LEWIS,

Committee.

Your committee is pleased to report a substantial growth in raising the Hospital Fund. The last r~port is $63,000.00 subscribed against $91,000.00 we report this year, with $23,000.00 collected. against $15,000.00 last year.

This enterprise has been in existence two and a half years with the above results. The maximum should have been reached before now and our Hospital should have been in the course of construction, however, not so. Have we been playing with such an important matter of our Church? If so, let us awake to the responsibility of this work and get in earnest as we are twenty-five years behind the times along this line, and our sister denominations are growing strong upon our neglect.

We recommend that the question be asked at our Annual Conference how much has been raised from each charg.! for the erection and support of our Hospital, whether or not each charge has observed Hospital Day and to what success.

We recommend that the Field Secretary visit the different Sunday Schools of the different Conferences, formulate and co-operate with the different Sunday School Superintendents upon a plan of bringing about assistance from this branch of the Church in this great enterprise.

We further recommend that each pastor of the various charges through­out the Conference invite the Secretary or some one selected by the Field Secretary to speak to the people upon this Hospital question, that the different pastors of the different Churches prepare the way that our people may become educated upon this great necessity of the Church, an Hospital.

We further recommend that our Field Secretary be given full power to organize and put in motion every and all the different auxiliaries of the Church in the furtherance of this work wherein his judgment directs him.

Should the different Boards in the different Conferences believe the best results can be obtained by dividing and apportioning to the different Conferences of these amounts, so we recommend that this be done.

We recommend the election of the Rev. H. B. Johnson, the Rev. T. W. Lewis, Messrs. Jno. R. Pepper, L. M. Stratton and T. K. Riddick, as com­missions for this Conference, and do hereby nominate them for said Commissioners.

OF THEM. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 67

eternal verities of God are altogether laudable and praiseworthy and well pleasing in the sight of Him whose we ·are and whom we serve. Popularity should never be the object of our quest but the salvation of the souls of those to whom we minister. This should be our· first and last thought and altogether embody the burning and enthusiastic passion of our entire ministry.

We rejoice to note the religious awakenings that have characterized many of our charges during the past year and we earnestly recommend that efforts along similar lines be increased until a glowing and an ab­sorbing spirit of propa~anda shall be felt in every heart and a burden for souls be borne by every individual Chrsitian that shall be tantamount to a perfect holocaust of burning love for those who are lost and whom the eternal Christ has agonized to save.

Respectfully submitted, W. D. JENKINS, Chairman, HARRY OLIVER HOFSTEAD, Secretary.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE JOURNALS. Dear Brethren:-Your Committee on District Conference Journals

would submit the following report: First, we take great pleasure in noting that all the Journals have been

in the hands of the committee, and as a whole the records of our District Conferences have been well kept. We, howe.ver, offer the following criticisms:

In the Journal of the Union City District, no signature of or for the one presiding at the District Conference appears. The word lead occurs where the word led was intended, otherwise the Journal has been well

keptThe Paris District Conference Journal contains nothing to indicate who were present at the District ·Conference, there being no roll of mem­bers.

We also note the word leisure where the word pleasure was meant, otherwise this Journal has been well kept.

In the Paducah District Journal, the nomination and election of the Secretary is entirely omitted from the minutes. We also note a tendency to abbreviate sometimes at the expense of clearness, otherwise the Padu­cah District Journal has been well kept.

The Journals from the Memphis, Dyersburg, Jackson, Lexington and Brownsville Districts have all been well kept.

Respectfuly submited by your committee, W. E. SEWELL, Chairman, W. L. DRAKE, Secretary.

RUSSIAN JEWS. Whereas, the public press of the world is fillel with stories of the

revival of a middle age superstition and consequent persecution against the Jews 'of Russia, therefore be it

Resolved, by the Memphis Conference in session at Martin, Tenn., No­vember, 1913:

First, That our sympathy as men and our love as Christians are ex­tended to the Russian Jews in the persecution which they suffer on ac­count of their racial inheritance.

Second, That as men and Christians we are indignant that any govern­ment in this humanitarian age, or any church which claims the name of Jesus, Son of Mary, and Son of God, should abase itself by.giving support to such a race bitterness and persecution especially against that great family from which, in His earthly lineage, came Jesus, our Lord.

Third, That as freemen of a great Christian republic, we protest against this horror of blood, and this monstrous interpretation of Christian charity.

HOSPITAL.

CLEANTH BROOKS, T. E. SHARP, T. W. LEWIS,

Committee.

Your committee is pleased to report a substantial growth in raising the Hospital Fund. The last report is $63,000.00 subscribed against $91,000.00 we report this year, with $23,000.00 collected against $15,000.00 last year.

This enterprise has been in existence two and a half years with the above results. The maximum should have been reached before now and our Hospital should have been in the course of construction, however, not so. Have we been playing with such an important matter of our Church? If so, let us awake to the responsibility of this work and get in earnest as we are twenty-five years behind the times along this line, and our sister denominations are growing strong upon our neglect.

We recommend that the question be asked at our Annual Conference how much has been raised from each charg..! for the erection and support of our Hospital, whether or not each charge has observed Hospital Day and to what success.

We recommend that the Field Secretary visit the different Sunday Schools of the different Conferences, formulate and co-operate with the different Sunday School· Superintendents upon a plan of bringing about assistance from this branch of the Church in this great enterprise.

We further recommend that each pastor of the various charges through­out the Conference invite the Secretary or some one selected by the Field Secretary to speak to the people upon this Hospital question, that the different pastors of the different Churches prepare the way that our people may become educated upon this great necessity of the Church, an Hospital.

We further Yecommend that our Field Secretary be given full power to organize and put in motion every and all the different auxiliaries of the Church in the furtherance of this work wherein his judgment directs him.

Should the different Boards in the different Conferences believe the best results can be obtained by dividing and apportioning to the different Conferences of these amounts, so we recommend that this be done.

We recommend the election of the Rev. H. B. Johnson, the Rev. T. W. Lewis, Messrs. Jno. R. Pepper, L. M. Stratton and T. K. Riddick, as com­missions for this Conference, and do hereby nominate them for said Commissioners.

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH.

PUBLISHING INTERESTS. Nine hundred and seven thousand, nine hundred and forty~nine dollars

and 30 cents. That is no mean amount of money. Nearly five times as much as this entire Annual Conference contributes to the support of the presiding elders, pastors and all benevolences combined; and not far from the value of all the church property shimmering in the autumn light of these eight populous and prosperous districts. ·

The arresting fact of it is, however, that this imperial sum must be the dividend of a simple problem in which the divisor is 2,000,000 and the quotient, therefore, something just less than 50 cents. For $907,949.30 represents, under audited statement of Smith & Lamar, publishers, the grand total of the year's sales in the selling centers of Nashville, Dallas, and Richmond. And 2,000,000 is, approximately, as membership statistics go, the· numerical strength fo the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

Fifty cents, the price of one hotel dinner, or of two good hair cuts, then, Is what each of us is investing in the products of our publishing business--Sunday School literature, the Review, the Christian Advocate, the Era, the Voice, and all books.

It is hardly a flattering record for our reading. We have surely not overgone the limit in church papers and literature

in our homes, when we so nicely divide a single dollar in the purchase of our yearly household me1.1tal supplies.

It recalls the answer of the young man who, when asked by his sweet­heart, whether he had read Romeo and Juliet enthusiastically replied, "Oh, yes, I've read Romeo but not Juliet."

It is a notable thing that the two last general and most emphatic calls to the Church by the bishops have borne, in the one case the prophet burden of evangelism and in the other the prophet burden of something to read; to stir the heart and enlighten the head; to awaken the will and set a lamp in the dome of understanding. Will a half dollar a year feed the wick, keep the tenders, administer the distribution, justify our boast to be, honestly, the great church we are fond to think we are?

Bishop McTyeire warned us that the basis of every sermon must be exegetical, that is to say, a setting forth of the truth that underlies it. May we not maintain that the basis of our common Chrisian life and any progress of the Church must be the sanctified sagacity of right things, rightly known, the road bed and rock bottom of some common Christian information concerning this wonder of a world with its men and things and books about them all.

We beg respectfully to draw attention to the following significant facts:

"The Methodist Review," which is perhaps the one product of Southern Methodism which ranks with the best in the world of its class has been for the year self-supporting and returns a profit of some $600.00.

"The Christian Advocate" fails of sustaining itself by a deficit of more than $3,000.00, and the "Epworth Era" by a wrong balance of over $2,000.00.

"The Sunday School Magazine," "The Adult Student," and "The Visitor" increase in circulation each year, and are splendid alike in the quality they manifest and in the service they render. But in some departments, notably the primary department, it seems impossible to secure either prompt or accurate attention to orders.

It is surprising that in church literature of the otherwise marked ex­cellence of "The Sunday School Magazine," the tabooed patent medicine advertisement still appears.

"The Christian Advocate," that sweeping telescope of the whole con­nection, challenges praise for its present editorship. Its loyalty may ap­pear at times excessive, its range and grasp at times not in the highest sense great. But it is watchful, clear, constant, fervently religious, and indispensible against the irretrieved blackness of the ignorance of our people concerning the things of the church and the kingdom. We are

MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

grateful for the awakened interest and the increased subscription list for the old Advocate with which the year closes. -

"The Midland Methodist" serves admirably as a medium of Conference communication. It would be a safe hazard, that we all gloat over its personals with the avidity. of the village miss over the society columns.

Its editorials are always vigorous and wholesome, at times luminous and fine.

This year it has created some smiles and called forth some just criti­Cism for the over-industrious nudging of its own claims, and appearing without intending it, doubtless, to set up the new standard of all-round efficiency, which consists infallibly in sending subscriptions to its lists. Thes~ pebbles in the weekly feast have been recently of less frequent ap­pearance.

But if earnest and somewhat justifiable self-advertising is objectionable, what shall we say of the resumed and continuing patent medicine adver­tisements? It is repugnant, irritating, impossible that, with all our in­sistence on clean, intelligent and honest standards of living, we shall go to the doors of our people soliciting their subscriptions to the church paper, only to be told by worldly people that they will take it when it can measure up to the journalistic ethics of the secular press.

By no means do we deal with this matter, bad as it is, in the spirit of mere criticism. Let us go home and send to our beloved and hard-work­ing brother publisher some more subscriptions, but with the distinct in­sistence that no patent medicine advertisement shall ever hereafter ap­pear.

Respectfully, C. A. WATERFIELD, Chairman, J. L. WEBER, Secretary.

TEMPERANCE AND OTHER MORAL REFORMS. Ours is a Temperance Church. From the beginning we have insisted

upon the complete separation of our people from the manufacture, sale, and use of intoxicating liquors. As the sentiment and conviction that the liquor traffic is wrong in all its phases have grown, we have kept steadily in the forefront in opposition to it, and today we sound no note of re­treat. The skies are brighter and the promise of nation-wide prohibition is stronger than ever before.

We rejoice in the widespread, increasing interest in the cause of Tem­perance. Nothing short of the final and permanent overthrow of this gigantic evil can meet the demands of the awakened conscience of our times. We must never forget that we are fighting a mighty foe. In­trenched behind a vast capital, aligned somewhat with politics, sup­ported by so-called colossal business interests, backed by unscrupulous men and desired by the vitiated appetites of depraved men, the task of its overthrow is no child's play.

We record our appreciation of the acts of the recent legislature in passing certain laws which strengthen the four-mile law, and we take special pleasure in recording our thanks to those officials who are en­forcing existing laws, and closing the saloons.

We call upon officials in every part of our great Conference, represent­ing 75,000 members, to enforce the law against the outlawed saloon, the gambling houses, and other places of outlawed vice. No excuse can be offered for those officials who fail to do their sworn duty. They deserve the condemnation of all law-abiding citizens.

We are persuaded that personal temperance is also increasing. That anyone who claims to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ should in­dulge in a practice so at war with all that is good, as drinking intoxicat­ing liquors is confessed to be, is a reflection upon his Christian profes­sion. It debauches manhood, destroys womanhood and blights childhood.

In this age of material advancement and industrial development, we need to make a special study of this great question.

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 71

Without presuming to enter the realm of fashion, but holding firmly to the doctrine of purity, the supremacy of the home, and the conspicuous

·place our women hold in the world, we insist upon the necessity of watchfulness against impurity, laxity in the home life, and indecencies in fashionable life.

The suggestive dances of the day, the immodest manner in which many women attire themselves, the indecent shows so largely patronized, in­dicate a coarsening of human nature that should alarm us.

We, therefore, urge our people to live soberly, righteously and Godly in this present world.

We recommend to our preachers the duty of preaching on these great reforms as occasion requires.

We, therefore, submit the following resolutions: Resolved, First-That we endorse the work that has been accomplished

by the Anti-Saloon League in the State of Tennessee and its present for­ward movement in the same state; that we also endorse the movement to be launched at Columbus, Ohio, by said League, in behalf of an amend­ment to the Constitution of the United States, whereby a vote may be had by the nation as a whole upon the question of prohibition of the sale of intoxicating beverages throughout the United States.

We nominate Rev. J. L. Weber, Rev. H. W. Brooks, Mr. J. R. Pepper and Judge J. R. Bond as our representatives to this Convention.

Second-That we urge an amendment to the Constitution, if necessary, or the enactment of a statute by the Congress of the United States, where­by it will be made impossible for license to be granted to, or special tax paid by, vendors of intoxicating beverages in states, counties, districts or precincts that have local prohibition in force under state statutes, and plead with our membership to bring this resolution to the personal atten­tion of their respective representatives in Congress.

Third-That we view with alarm the growth of Socialism in this coun­try, and urge upon our ministers a careful and prayerful effort to pre­vent our membership from being deceived by this enemy of free institu­tions and Christianity.

Fourth-That it has come to our attention that certain patent medicine concerns and other questionable propositions are using our Teachers' Magazines and Sunday School literature as an advertising medium, and whereas, in our opinion, as this literature is distributed mostly upon the Sabbath Day and in this sense and in other ways a violation of the sancti­ty of the Sabbath and an imposition upon our people, therefore, be it

Resolved, That we condemn the acceptance of any advertising matter, for publication, in our Sunday School literature, that pertains to or deals with any article, commodity, thing, or subject that is not connected with the spiritual or moral uplift of our membership and respectfully urge upon our General Conference, ·our Book Committee, Publishing Interests and Agents that this evil practice be discontinued and our religious publi­cations at least keep pace with advanced secular publishing concerns in this line of moral reform. ,

We offer the following memorial to the General Conference: First-Whereas, the use of tobacco in any form is a useless extrava­

gance, impairs both mind and body, and cannot be defended by any user of the same, and in our opinion its use by ministers of the gospel places before the youth of the country an unwholesome example, therefore, be it

Resolved, That the Memphis Conference memorializes the General Con­ference, to be held May, 1914, that they cause such amendments to be made to existing church laws or such new laws enacted as will prevent an applicant for license to preach from securing such license unless he enter into an obligation not to use tobacco in any form while identified with the Church as a minister of the gospel.

Second-Whereas, worldliness is making rapid inroads upon the church, and we deplore the fact that the line of demarcation is rapidly being blotted out in many communities; and whereas, we feel that we should take timely warning on this subject and do more than merely call

72 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

attention of our guilty membership to the fact that their conduct along these lines, while not against any statute of our church is not right con­duct and that they "should abstain from the appearance of evil;" there-fore, be it .

Resolved, That the Memphis Conference memorializes the General Con­ference to be held in May, 1914, and urges that the General Conference carefully consider these conditions and make such amendments or enact such laws as will make it impossible for dancing, card playing or whiskey drinking to be engaged in by church members, and their membership continued.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Sabbath Day is the Lord's day. By Sinaitic legislation He set it

apart for human relief and divine worship. He said: "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work and the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God, in it thou shalt not do any work." This eases the burden of constant toil. Again Sinai thunders: "Keep my Sabbaths and rever­ence my Sanctuary." This provides for a period in which the soul shall bow before the Lord our maker in worship; when we learn to live here, that we may live hereafter.

The Sabbath Day is the palladium of our liberty. Its sanctity and teachings constitute the foundation on which our fathers have built this nation, with all its civic and economic victories, its educational advan­tages, and its social and family rights.

To lessen its sanctity is to lower its tone. To allow the labors and diversions of godless and commercialized persons is to take away its sacred character, and thus to destroy the very basis of our national liberty.

The Church of the living God is not without fault in this matter of vital importance. A return to Scriptural ideals is absolutely necessary to the perpetuity of our institutions and the extension of the Redeemer's Kingdom.

The Church has the power to compel civic observance of the divine law. In the ballot she has the equipment to win the victory. If she fails to use the power and the equipment, the responsibility lies at her door. We, therefore, call upon all pastors and church members of the Memphis Conference to give heed to the following resolutions:

First-We deplore the anarchistic spirit of the industrial world, which calls so many to Sabbath Day toils. We urge all our members to abstain from all labors which may not be listed as of mercy or necessity.

Second-We recall the Scriptural and Disciplinary prohibition against "profaning the day of the Lord, either in doing ordinary work therein, or by buying and selling," and urge all our members to heed these injunc­tions.

The Church has the power to compel civic observance of the divine law. In the ballot she has the equipment to win the victory. If she fails to use the power and the equipment, the responsibility lies at her door. We, therefore, call upon all pastors and church members of the Memphis Conference to give heed to the following resolution.s:

First-We deplore the anarchistic spirit of the industrial world, which · calls so many to Sabbath Day toils. We urge all our members to abstain from all labors which may not be listed as of mercy or necessity.

Second-We recall the Scriptural and Disciplinary prohibition against "profaning the day of the Lord, either in doing ordinary work therein, or by buying and selling," and urge all our members to heed these injunc­tions.

MEMORIALS. Report No. 1.

J. M. PICKENS, Chairman.

A paper from the Rev. G. W. Wilson came before us, which we com­mend for.your adoption, and which is as follows:

We, members of the Memphis Annual Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, now in session at Martin, Tenn., November .10, 1913, re­spectfully memorialize our next General Conference to meet in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, in May, 1914, to make in our Discipline such changes as we herewith most courteously suggest, as follows:

Just after paragraph 245, insert two new paragraphs as follows: "Ans. 3. Let it be the purpose of every Sunday School of the M. E. Church,

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 73

South, to enlarge attendance, increase efficiency, to study and teach the Bible; to establish· and develop Christian character and life, active service, and helpful fellowship." .

"Ans. 4. It shall be the duty of the Presiding Elder to aid in forming new Sunday Schools, and in developing those already begun, and induce conformity to our Discipline relating to Sunday Schools."

Let the paragraph now numbered 247 be placed next, but with changes made in the fifth line, after the word "children." This would restore the original wording-as is now in Discipline of the M. E. Church-easily understood, while the omission made the .meaning of the law doubtful; in the eighth line, after the word "service"; in the twelfth line, after the word "charge"; in the eighteenth line, after the word "necessary"; so as changed, the paraEfraph would read: · "Ans. 6. It shall be the duty of the preacher in charge of every circuit

and station to be present in all Sunday Schools in his charge as often as practical, to catechise the children publicly in the Sunday School, to preach to them as often as convenient, to exhort them to attend regularly upon divine service, to see that they are properly instructed in the Bible, and in the doctrine and usages of our Church, and to look after their spiritual welfare as a part of his regular pastoral charge. He should be the chief instrtJ.ctor and trainer of teachers. He shall, wherever prac~ ticable, organize Bible Teachers' Study Circles in the Sunday Schools of his charge, and shall encourage and assist the leader and members of such circles as may be necessary. As a sympathetic counselor let him be an attentive helper wherever he may be needed. In his written report to each Quarterly Conference let him show to what extent he has done this work; also the number and state of the schools in his charge; and report the statistics of the same to his Annual Conference."

Place next the paragraph numbered 246, just as it is. Next let the following as a new paragraph be placed: "Ans. 8. The Superintendent should be one of solid piety, who both

knows and loves the Methodist doctrine and discipline, and of good nat· ural and acquired abilities to discharge the duty of his office; his in­fluence should be wholesome in social and business life; his attendance upon the ordinances of the Church, and support of its institutions should be exemplary. He has the administrative management of the Sunday Schools; let him preside over its sessions, sustain organization, order and decorum; and see that all of its work be done in accordance with our disciplinary regulations; encourage all the officers and teachers to do their work faithfully and efficiently; supply places temporarily vacant; preside in the sessions of the Council; with the concurrence of the pastor nominate before the Council suitable persons for Officers and teachers; and assist in enterprising best methods of work."

Immediately after the paragraph just given place the following:

Sunday School Council. Ans. 9. Every Sunday School of the Methodist Episcopal Church,

South, shall be under the supervision of the Sunday School Council, which shall be composed of the pastor, the superintenden.ts, and all the other Officers and the Teachers of the Sunday School.

Ans. 10. It shall be the duty of the Council to aid in selecting suitable Officers and Teachers; to see that all supplies needed for the Sunday School be furnished; to decide the hours of opening school, and the length of its session; to increase school. n1~mbership by .a house-to-house visitation whenever advisable; to trY' 'to 'in'duce every member of the Church to join some department of 'th~ Sunday School; to provide. the best methods of work in the School; copstantly to improve the efficiency; see that all the Disciplinary regulations.: and other recognized purposes of the Sunday School be executed. · :· · · · ' .· · · ·

Ans. 11. In their business meetings tlie Superintendent, or Pastor, shall preside. In their Teachers' meetings .fpt·. 'lesson study the Pastor, or Superintendent, shall preside. . . · ·

•

Ans. 12. The term of every officer and teacher shall end with the Conference year, though each may be re~elected.

Ans. 13. The Superintendent is elected by the Quarterly Conference, and should a vacancy in his office occur, the Pastor shall fill the office, or appoint a Superintendent for the School, until the Quarterly Conference may elect a Superintenednt.

Ans. 14. The other officers and teachers at the close of each Confer~ ence year, and for the ensuing year, shall be elected by the Sunday School Council, on nomination of the Superintendent, with the concurrence of the pastor. ,

Ans. 15. The place of any Officer or Teacher may become vacant by resignation, or removal; or it may be declared vacant by the Council, or by the Quarterly Conference, because of continued absence, inefficiency, inconsistent life, or teaching contrary to the Doctrine of our Church.

Respectfully submitter, G. W. WILSON, Chairman, J. T. MYERS, Secretary.

Report No. 2. The Committee on General Conference Memorials presents the fol~

lowing report: Whereas, there is a growing demand for the presence and ministry of

our chief pastors among us, Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to be held in

1914, to request our Bishops to spend more time in their respective Epis­copal Districts. (Signed by nine laymen). We recommend non-concur­rence.

To change paragraph 69, Ans. 2, in the Discipline so as to read: "The District Conference shall be composed of all the preachers in the District, traveling and local, including supernumeraries and superannuates, (whether resident without or within the limits of the Annaul Confer­ences to which they belong), and one layman for every fifty members of the Church or fractional part thereof, who shall be elected by the Quarterly Conference, provided no charge shall be without one repre­sentative. We recommend non~concurrence.

The following was offered by the Board of Missions: Resolved, That we memorialize the General Conference to separate the

Home and Conference Mission collections and place each collection upGm its merits. We recommend concurrence.

MEMOIRS.

BENJAMIN B. RISENHOOVER.

Rev. Benjamin B. Risenhoover, a superannuate of the Memphis Confer­ence, was born in Pickens County, Alabama, August 24, 1832. He was converted when young and jojijell i M. E. Church, South.

He was licensed to preacb hV~ »Jtrterly Conference of the Grenada District, held at Serepta C. amp fJ .. iq, in Calhoun County, Mississippi, Sepfember 25, 1858. He wa1 rCJcQ · P1J trial in the traveling connection into the Memphis Conference at rAtn.ton, Tenn., in November, 1858. He was ordained deacon by Bisho_p G#Q~ '·Pierce at Aberdeen, Miss., Novem­ber 11, 1860; and was recei-rect fnto fuU co}l,nection at Memphis, Tenn., in November, 1876. He was ~ined elder by Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh at Mayfield, Ky., November t:i;,l8'79.

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 75

He was married to Miss Sou H. Beasley December 18, 1861. Six chil­dren were born to this union. Two daughters, Misses Nannie E. and Edna B., and four sons, Earley B., Jordan B., James A. and Robert M., all of whom are still living except Miss Nannie E., who died in November, 1899.

Broth<::r Risenhoover was a courteous, pleasant Christian minister. He was handsome in nis personal appearance and social in his relationships with his fellow men. Scores and hundreds of men and women were led to Christ by his faithful, effiCient ministry. He was surely the sweetest singer in the Memphis Conference in his active days of service for the Lord. Many were impressed with his preaching and charmed with his singing.

He was a member of the Masonic fraternity and loved to meet with his brethren m the days of his active life.

He had lived in N~w Concord, Galloway County, Kentucky, for some twenty years, but about two years ago he came to Murray, the county seat of Galloway County, where he lived until the end came, March 15, 1913, he closed his earthly pilgrimage here and quietly went home. His devoted companion and two of his children, Mrs. Edna Grogan and Dr. R. M. Risenhoover and other relatives, with a number of friends, were present to witness the quiet going out of this quiet man of God. Brother Risenhoover often spoke of his departure with a glad hope of an abundant entrance through the gate into the city of God. He had been afflicted very seriously for some four years and the end was not unexpected. He met death with composure and quietly went away. He was 80 years, 6 months and 21 days old.

The burial service was conducted by the Rev. J. M. Pool, after which his body was laid to rest in the cemetery at New Providence in Galloway County, Kentucky. Here a number of his relatives and a host of his friends shared in the last solemn rites of an humble minister of the Gospel of the Son of God.

We would say to the faithful lone companion and children, that he who watched the sparrow, will surely hear the prayer of those who put their trust in Him. As the mantle of Elijah fell on Elisha so may the mantle of the father fall on the sons.

L. D. HAMILTON.

WARNER T. BOLLING.

Rev. W. T. Bolling, D.D., was born in Green County, Alabama, May 25, 1847, the son of Warner T. and Harriet Bolling, who came from Virginia, the one from Petersburg and the other from near Richmond on the James.

Dr. Bolling lost his parents when but a lad, and entered the Confed­erate service when not yet fifteen, serving through the entire war.

He enlisted first in the Harris Zouave Cadets in Memphis, Tennessee, and was attached as Company D to the One Hundred and Fifty-fourth Sr. Tennessee Regiment, Preston Smith, colonel, Marcus J. Wright, lieu­tenant colonel.

Then he re-enlisted in the Second Tennessee Regiment under Colonel W. B. Bate, who was succeeded by Richard Buttler and he by Tony Rob­inson.

Dr. Bolling was in more than twenty battles during the war, loyal to the cause he espoused in camp and on the field; was severely wounded at Chickamauga and again shot at Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia, heroical­ly enduring the sufferings incident to service and inevitable to the wound­ed; and last but not least to undergo the anguish of a prisoner of war in Camp Chase prison near Columbus, Ohio, until the bloody struggle ceased.

The next three and a half years were spent in business in Memphis, and then he became an itinerant Methodist preacher, joining the Memphis Annual Conference on trial at Paris, Tenn., in 1868. Was received, into

76 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

full connection in 1870. · A paper furnished me by the family states that he was ordained deacon by Bishop Doggett in 1874 and elder by Bishop Keener in 1877. He was an attractive preacher from the start, and early in his ministry was sought after by aspiring congregations.

Among the first charges served we mention Denmark Circuit, Humboldt, Dresden, Hickman, Union City and Hays Avenue Stations. Then he was transferred to West Virginia and served Charleston two years, thence to Huntingdon, where he built a church, from there to Park Church, Hanni­bal, Mo., three years, also the same length of time was spent in Fayette, thence to Deriver, Colo., and then to Kentucky again, serving Covington and Lexington each three years; then to Louisiana, serving Shreveport four years, next he was in Jackson, Miss., two years, and then back to the "Home Conference" in which to use his own language, "To live and to die." Here he filled the following stations: Central Church, Memphis, three years; Broadway, Paducah, one year; Paris, Tenn., three years; Fulton, Ky., two years, and was appointed by Bishop Kilgo to Clinton, Ky., November 18, 1912, in which charge he served with renewed zeal, notwithstanding his wasting strength, preaching to crowded houses to the end.

Dr. Bolling was reared an Episcopalian, the impress of which marked his manner for life, and was yet more manifest in his family.

He was twice married, date of first my informant thinks was 1870, to Miss Mollie Cooley of Milan, Tenn., the children of this marriage and surviving him are Robert Bolling, aged 42, living in Michigan, and Mar­garet, now Mrs. E. H. Mullen, aged 35 and living in Los Angeles, Cal. The second marriage was to Miss Willie R. Jeter of Huntingdon, Va., in 1882. The children of this marriage now living are Mrs. John W. Fitz­hugh of Memphis and Mrs. Dudley Porter of Paris, Tenn., and Mrs. George L. Alley of Fulton, Ky., and Miss Hellen Meade and Master Ran­dolph P. Bolling, who reside with their mother in Memphis.

Dr. Bolling was a ready writer, and many people greatly enjoyed his articles in the dailies. He was positive in expression, often radical, par­ticularly in matters partisan. Some felt that in recent years he had said more politically than was wise for his personal good or the high cause which he represented.

Being an old time gentleman there was dignity in all his demeanor. Many thought him cool, some even cold, but he carried a heart found to be full of both warmth and tenderness to those who came close to him.

If there be such a thing as a born, or natural, orator, he was one. He reveled in the ornate, beautiful and sublime, whatever other talent

he may have possessed, in eloquence he excelled. We are told that in his family he was very kind and indulgent. Dr. Bolling first received the degree of Doctor of Divinity from St.

Charles College, Mo., in 1886, and again from Peabody Institute, Nash­ville, Tenn., in 1909.

In Clinton, Ky., his last earthly home, though feeble in body, he won the hearts of the people and they did well by him, overhauling the par­sonage and increasing his support, and graciously ministering to him in his last illness.

Funeral services were held in the parsonage at Clinton, Ky., by his Presiding Elder, assisted by quite a number of other preachers of the Conference, Wednesday afternoon the 16th, and Thursday by Bishop Murrah, Dr. Lewis and others in First Church, Memphis, followed by the interment in Forest Hill cemetery.

April 15, 1913, when winter was fast retreating and spring was rapidly advancing to the music of winged choristers, the great Captain of our Salvation issued the last order to the old soldier, and we believe removed his helmet and sword, giving instead a palm and crown.

WILLIAM GRAVES HEFLEY. There is no nobler ambition than that to live well. To feel that "it is

infamy to die and not be missed." "Samuel died; and all the Israelites were gathered together and lamented him." No higher tribute could have been paid the man. of God. What an impression he had made I What good he had done I His life was like the breath of rarest flowers,-beau­tiful and sweet. No monument of chiseled marble could compare with the great sorrow and the universal grief of Israel's hosts. To be uni­versally loved because of a positive and active goodness is an ideal worthy of attainment. A good man is God's best revelation, the first asset of a nation or community. He catches the vision, sets the pace, and others follow where he leads. "Great hearts alone understand how much glory there is in being good." "He who believes in goodness has the essence of all faith." He is a man "of cheerful yesterdays and confident tomor­rows." "Nature seems to exist," says Emerson, "for the excellent. The world is upheld by the veracity of good men: they make the earth wholesome. They who lived with them found life glad and nutritious. Life is sweet and tolerable only in our belief in such society; and actual­ly, or ideally, we manage to live with superiors·." William Graves Hefley was one of God's noblemen. No better example of the excellent has lived among us. To have known this princely Christian gentleman confirms splendidly the truth that "the world is upheld by the veracity of good men," and that their goodness is the source of the life and inspiration of their fellows.

Looking back upon the days of our association, I've come to know more fully than ever before the sterling character of my beloved friend, and the passing days accentuate the regal qualities of this gentle spirit, whose ambition it was to be good and to do good. Dr. Hefley, the youngest of eight children, was the son of William Michael and Margaret Simonton Hefley. He was born in Madison County, Tennessee, November 2, 1853. He died at Jackson, Tenn., April 29, 1913. The elements of his character were a rich heritage bequeathed by parents of gentleness and refinement and high standing socially. Of Scotch and Saxon extraction and Presby­terians of the "Old School," they possessed those high ideals, pronounced religious convictions, and splendid Christian spirit, that came to such fullness of development in the life of their preacher son. The Hefley family came from Chester District, S. C., to West Tennessee in 1850. Shortly before his father's death, which occurred when William was but a few months old, the father asked for his baby boy, and remarked, "Take good care of him, he may be a minister/' Was the dying father's suggestion a prophecy?

Dr. Hefley was reared in that environment where very frequently man­hood is made and character is developed, an environment of hardship and bitter experiences. The mother was left alone to rear a family of eight children. The burden was an exceedingly heavy one, but, influenced by high moral ideas and spiritual standards, this mother reared her children in a most wholesome Christian atmosphere, and she was rewarded by seeing the four who lived to be grown loyal members of the church. Aside from the rigid training received in the home, the boy William sought such advantages as the schools of his day afforded. We was al­ways an ambitious and thoughtful student.

When sixteen years of age he was converted, under the preaching of Dr. Nathan Sullivan. After spending a year in school and a year teach­ing, he yielded to the conviction that he should preach. He believed in a Divine call to the ministry. Such was his, and this royal priest of God and devout minister of Christ lived his life and did his work b"y the high standard comprehended hi his interpretation of that call. He was recom­mended by his church to the Quarterly Conference of Trenton Circuit, was granted license to preach, and was recommended for admission into the Memphis Annual Conference, into which he was received at the ses­sion of 1875. He did his first work on the Adamsville Circuit under

78 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

Rev. S. B. Low~. The following year he served under Rev. G. K. Brooks on the Jackson Circuit. After serving the Briensburg Circuit for two years, he was stationed at Clinton, and Mayfield, Ky.; Dallas, Texas; Hickman, Ky.; Humboldt, Tenn. Union City, Hyersburg, Hays Avenue, Jackson, Tenn.; Fulton, Ky.; Brownsville and Paris, Tenn.; also the Brownsville District, the Memphis District, and the Jackson District. Preaching was his delight. Knowing the sacredness of life, the grave responsibility in­volved in his call, and the sin and suffering about him, he felt with Paul, "Woe is me if I preach not the gospel."

Dr. Hefley was human, and appreciated the honors conferred upon him by his brethren, but he was wholly free from ostentation. Modest and unassuming, he bore all honors with a quiet and pleasing dignity. He was the first delegate elected to the General Conference of 1910. The larger the responsibility the greater his dignity and reliance upon God. His was indeed a choice spirit. He lived in high altitudes. He was solemnly pledged in his own consciousness, to meet all responsibilities and obligations faithfully. His love and sympathy were as considerate and helpful as they were profound. Those who kne~ him most inti­mately were aware of the greatness of his soul life. He had the face and the heart of a St. John. Memory brings before me the soft light of that kindly eye, the gentle words of a warm heart, and the charm of a sunny disposition. His love and life were like the gulf stream in that they tempered and made bearable the asperities of the life that touched his. And they came to him. Many there are who can look back upon the ministries of W. G. Hefley to discover that they were rifts in the clouds, sweet harmonies in the midst of turmoil and strife, joy in the midst of sorrow, strength offered for weakness, and the splendid Christian opti­mism which saw the potentialities and possibilities of regeneration in the sin and evil about him. He would not even crush the life that crawled. at his feet. To him it was a sacred thing. The purpose of his life was con­structive. Thoroughly progressive, he sought to keep abreast of the times by constant and patient investigation of the ideas and ideals of our modern complex· life. His training was not the result of the pursuit of college curriculum, nor was his theology the product of the seminary. His information, however, was varied and extensive, and his theology marvelously clear. His conceptions of truth were noble and well de­fined, the result of careful analysis and just discrimination. Dr. Hefley was a voracious reader and critical student. By individual effort and persistent application he became one of the best informed men in the Conference. He moved in an atmosphere of culture and refinement, and gave himself to the task of analyzing and digesting the thought of the foremost thinkers of the day. Possessing a mind of philosophic bent, he did not hesitate to attack the most profound treatise, his ultimate aim being a fuller knowledge of truth and the broader vision accompanying intellectual pursuits. His primal attitude toward all questions was un­prejudiced and sympathetic. When, however, there was cause for ob­jection and dissent he did not hesitate to speak. His sermons gave evi­dence of much serious thought. Ambitious as to theme, sane in concep­tion, cautious in statement, and enthusiastic in spirit, one could hear him with pleasure and profit, feeling that he had lingered with God in the preparation of his messages. He did not use the arts of experiency to escape the criticism that great truths invite. His insight and faith led him into large fields of thought and action. The highest type of love and culture creates real nobility. My friend was noble, and that too in no narrow and restricted sense. He was larger than his environment. Fre­quently h~ would rise above it like the sun-kissed peak when the shadows lifted and the mists had rolled away. Loving life with a fine intensity, and desiring to use his life and influence for the largest possible good to others, he did not hesitate to make any sacrifice when it became neces­sary. His generosity defined a personality as genial as soft breezes and sunny skies. Radiation rather than absorption was the habitual attitude of this lovable, cultured, Christian minister. "Noble souls are those who

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 79

completely renounce the chief aim of ordinary souls, the personal enjoy­ment of life, in order that they may devote themselves the more effective­ly to the elevation of the whole race."

William Graves Hefley was broad minded, large hearted, and cosmo­politan. You could never charge him with selfishness. His value of life and its relations and obligations was inspired by his conception of God. God to him was a personal being, a loving Father. His faith was as beautiful as it was simple. He was fearless, which is an essential ele­ment of nobility. He loved peace, but when compelled to face an issue he was largely aggressive, contending vigorously for what he conceived to be right. He might suffer, but when once aroused to the defense of a principle he was a most worthy and dangerous opponent. It has been said that the "soul of all culture is the culture of the soul." A fact at once evident, Bro. Hefley had "kept the soul path white." Four years of intimate association revealed no defect in his faith, no flaw in his reli­gious life. It seemed morally impossible for him to do wrong. Trans­parent, sincere, strong in the consciousness of his owfl integrity, his life was lived with a majesty of calmness and a dignity and grandeur of movement that disclosed high aims and Divine purpose; the mastery of evil and the dominance of good. I never heard a coarse or vulgar word escape the lips of my friend. His spirit was characterized by that "finer cleanliness" that loathed coarseness and vulgarity. His soul was as clear as a crystal, as joyous and buoyant as the laughing fountain. Unob­trusive, yet accessible; free from ostentation, yet dignified; he was God's loyal son and our honored co-laborer.

His home life was 'Serene and b~autiful. The happy scenes about his own fireside are too sacred and holy to bring into review. There was no truer husband, more devoted father. As lover and companion he was ardent in his affection and laudably ambitious for his children. For all that he was to them and did for them they honor the memory of him with an undying devotion.

As a Presiding Elder he felt very keenly the responsibility of placing his men. Their interests drove sleep from eyes and gave him the deepest concern. I think he always felt "others first." Dr. Hefley was stricken with a chill the 2d of April. During the second week of his illness com­plications developed and his condition became precarious and alarming. He was given every possible attention, and, when thought to be recover­ing, the end came suddenly and unexpectedly. This servant of the Church was ready to "fall on sleep" and rest from his labors. Several years ago, when preparing for an operation in a Memphis hospital, he remarked to me, "I don't know what the outcome will be; I've made all preparations; I'm ready." He was ready. To know him you must know that. During the lucid moments of his last illness Bro. Hefley was planning for his work and spoke of the glorious history of his church, and seeing, as we cannot now see, the splendors of the other world, he frequently re­ferred to "a house not made with hands." The gospel, "Which he loved so well to preach, sustained him even in "the valley of the shadow of death." Death has closed his eyes and silenced his lips, and that warm heart is wrapped in eternal stillness; we are bereft of his presence and ce>unsel, but the clods that cover his sacred dust cannot hide his virtues; death cannot render ineffective such a life as was his. "He, being dead yet speaketh." "0 death, wher-e is thy sting? 0 grtvt. where is thy victory?" I shall not forget the hour in which his b~\\r ... .-id splendid tribute to the memory of him who was to labor amo~QI no more. The sunbeams, chasing one another through the art-glass ndows of the temple of God, cast about the face of our deceased brothQ the ~oft light, which rested like a crown upon his brow. His repose·, •• like that of a tired child resting upon its mother's bosom. All was ~t~ce. The very atmosphere of heaven enshrouded that sacred spot. lli~ touch of the invisible was upon us. There was conscious victory in eirory falling tear. The spirit of his life permeated the holy place, and we r~ tllat God and His angels were about us. What a transition! What aQJ, ekehange for our dear

80 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

brother r Through the coming years we shall see him in the hard places doing his work patiently and successfully; in places of honor and large responsibility, loyal, true and unselfish; in the pursuit of his own holy life and beloved work, guileless, modest, generous, strong, and noble­memory's picture will inspire us to emulate the example of this good man of God, who "was full of faith and the Holy Ghost." Shall we not pray that his mantel may fall upon us, and that the broken ranks of the ministry may be filled with holy men of God?

"How well he fell asleep f Like some proud river, widening toward the sea;

Calmly and grandly, silently and deep, Life joined eternity."

"As I was walking through a garden one day I saw a fine flower plucked from the plant, and I said to the gardener, 'Who hath done this?' and he said, 'it was the master,' and I held my peace."

MRS. H. A. BUTTS. Mrs. Maud Fuller Butts, deceased wife of our brother, Rev. H. A. Butts,

was born in Dyer County, Tennessee, December 15, 1883. She was mar­ried to Rev. H. A. Butts January 10, 1904. Of this union four children were born, two of whom died in infancy, two boys survive. She pro­fessed faith in Christ in Gadsden, Tenn., in 1905, and joined the Methodist church, and lived a faithful and consistent member until her decease. Soon after she joined the church her husband yielded to the call to enter the itinerant ministry. To him a call to preach meant a call to get equip­ment for his life work. He moved with his little family to Martin, Tenn., where he attended McFerrin School for two years. This, of course, worked a hardship on the wife, but she made every sacrifice cheerfully and rendered her husband every help possible. Afterwards when he joined the Conference she took her place gladly among the great army of itinerant wives. She was a quiet, modest woman, amiable in disposi­tion, cheerful in temper, devoted to her husband and children-a home builder, given to Christian hospitality. "Her sun is gone down while it was yet day." She fell on sleep in the parsonage at Dancyville on April 18, 1913, before she had reached the thirtieth milestone on life's pilgrim­age. While life was dear to her and she had much to live for she met death cheerfully, sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust in the Christ whom she adored. Her last utterance with reference to her spiritual state was: "I have trusted all to Jesus." Her funeral was conducted by this writer and her mortal remains were laid to rest in Salem cemetery, near Gadsden, Tenn. She was a faithful wife, a devoted mother, a beauti­ful Christian character, and the world is better because she lived. We shall meet her in our Father's "house of many mansions/'

Brother Covington was the pastor of what was then the old Dresden Circuit before there was any town there or preaching place nearer than Jolly's or Salem.

Brother Covington died in 1885, leaving her with the responsib.ility of caring for and training the three girls and one boy left to her care. This duty she faithfully performed. The son, however, died soon after reach­ing young manhood. Dr. Robert Fryar of Newbern, Tenn., a brother, came forward to the aid of Sister Covington, providing for her a home and looking after her welfare. This he has continued to do through all· these years.

Sister Covington lived a very devoted Christian life, and was not at all afraid of the final end, though the summons came sudden-ly. She was well prepared. The end came Sunday, January 26, 1913, at 11:30 A. M., she being in her seventy-second year.

Funeral services were held Monday at 1 o'clock at her home on Me­. Comb Street, Martin, Tenn., by Revs. A. E. Scott and J. J. Thomas, after which the remains were laid to rest in East Hill cemetery.

Henry County, Tennessee, and wife of Rev. W. G. Nail, member of the Memphis Conference, was born April2l, 1890, and passed away November 4, 1913.

Mrs. Nail was a dutiful daughter, and faithful companion. She was married to the Rev. W. G. Nail January 24, 1911, and proved to be a most helpful preacher's wife as well as devoted and sympathetic helpmeet. Sister N all's sympathetic nature made her the friend to the poor and being a trained nurse, she wa,s able to render very efficient services many times. Brother and Sister N all were blessed with two children. The oldest, a little boy, passed away at about nine months old, the other, a little girl of only a few months, is left in the arms of her grandmother. Mrs. Nail for her opportunity was showing herself a good church worker. When her husband was pressed down with the need of a church house at Wynn­burg, in Lake County, she raised about $80.00 and when her presiding elder assured her that the enterprise would go through she was very happy. Sister Nail had not been very well for some time, but she was thought to be well when overtaken by congestion and passed away while her husband was at the Conference taking his third year examination.

She was a faithful member of the Methodist church and had experi­mental religion. A woman of prayer and faith has gone on to rest, leav­ing a devoted husband, parents, two brothers and a sister to weep for her, but not as those who have no hope, but with a rich assurance that she awaits their coming. ·
