REPORT OF BOARD OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
For the work of the past year we report for the Department of the local church, that it has been fruitful. Under the direction of Mr. Dennis V. Snapp, our Executive-Extension Secretary, and Mrs. D. V. Snapp, our office secretary, aided by twenty trained and efficient conference and dis trict workers the work has gone forward in all divisions of the church school in meeting especially the young preachers and helping them to organize the work in their charges, in the organization of the Youth Cru sade which still is carying on, in the Young People's Assembly and the Kavanaugh Epworth Training Conference, in several Christian Adventure Camps and in many training classes of various types. Besides a spendid Children's Workers' Conference was held and our Board had part in pro moting and conducting one of the best Pastors' Schools we have ever had. There are some of the various things promoted by our workers under the leadership of the Executive-Extension Secretary. 20 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
We note with great pleasure the increased enrollment in the church schools of the M. E. Church, South, last year and that every piece of our splendid literature had in increased circulation. We most heartily recom mend the use of this fine literature by all of our schools. We commend to the consideration of the Board of Christian Educa tion of the united church, the recommendations made by the Executive- Extension Secretary on Pages 25 and 26 of his report. We have requested of the Budget Commission an apportionment of $10,000.00 for college work, $3,200.00 for local church work and $325.00 for ministerial aid with a proportionate amount from any expected in come from the Ashland District, the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Protestant Church. We recommend the appointment of Rev. H. C. Morrison as President of Asbury College and Asbury Theological Seminary; Rev. Z. T. Johnson as Executive Vice President of Asbury College; Rev. W. B. Strother as student in Duke University and L. Edward Mattingly to the University of Edinburg. The President and Treasurer of the Board were authorized and em powered to turn over to the proper authorities of the new Board any and all assets of every kind.
KENTUCKY WESLEYAN AND LINDSEY WILSON COLLEGES
Both of these colleges had successful sessions the past year. The Debt Raising Movement which was in full sway at the last meeting of the Kentucky Conference was unusually successful though a considerable number of pledges have not been paid. Every possible effort to collect these pledges has been made and many of them will yet be paid. We report the following statistics: Teachers�^Wesleyan, 16; Lindsey Wilson, 13. Students�Wesleyan, 282; Lindsey Wilson, 201. Property Values�Weslej'^an, $464,323.79; Lindsey Wilson, $127,064.60. Productive Endowment�Wesleyan, $60,000.00, plus $17,000.00 on an nuity; Lindsey Wilson, $4,862.41. Indebtedness today is�Wesleyan, $13,385.75; Lindsey Wilson, $8,074.04. The total indebtedness of both institutions is covered by pledges made and accepted in good faith and the debt is rapidly disappearing. It is now high time for us to prepare the next forward movement which is to se cure an adequate endowment. This is required by the accrediting agencies as the surest means of securing the necessary budget income. We now have a credit of $260,00.00 on productive endowment and income from Conference benevolences. We must immediately provide an additional $240,000.00 as a minimum productive endowment or raise an additional $12,000.00 annually, from College Day offerings and special gifts from friends of Christian Education for operating expenses of Kentucky Wes leyan and a proportionate amount for Lindsey Wilson. We commend to the new Board of Christian Education a careful consideration of all these things. Considerable essential repairs have been made at Kentucky Wesleyan and our buildings are now in good condition. With W. P. A. aid a con crete street has been laid along the entire front of Lindsey Wilson. Both schools report the outlook for increased student bodies good. This body hands the torch to the Board of Education of the new and larger Kentucky Conference comforted with the thought that we have been able to make some contribution to the betterment of a world that, having lost the way, gropes in darkness seeking light�the light only our God can give�and pray that our successors may have the richest bless ings of our Heavenly Father and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. C. H. GREER, President. M. P. McCLURE, Secretary. JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 21
Rural Work�The report of the Commission on Rural Work was read and adopted.
REPORT OF RURAL WORK COMMISSION
We, your Rural Work Commission, beg to leave to submit the follow ing report: We have carefully considered the needs of the rural areas of our Conference and have come to definite conclusions as to those needs and offer the following recommendations: 1. That the District Superintendents at the earliest possible time after the adjournment of the Annual Conference bring the rural pastors together for a heart to heart discussion of the work in order that they might be brought to see the tremendous importance of the rural church to the world-wide program of our great church. In these group meetings let them study the Methodist Church in all its phases of work as related to the new church. 2. That training and Christian leadership be emphasized in every church. That training classes be held in each church for church school teachers and leaders and also training work with parents and other phases of home training. We find that our rural laymen need to be in formed more than ever regarding the work and program of the church. 3. Finances. In this field we need to bring about by every means possible a consciousness of the obligations of Christian Stewardship and tithing. We find our rural churches are also deeply in need of the de velopment of systematic giving on the part of those who are responsible for the financial support of the church. 4. The cause of missions is the heartbeat of the church toward a needy world, torn and broken as never before in history. We recommend a more earnest effort in informing our people regarding the various fields of missionary endeavor and a more determined effort on the part of the pastors to develop a missionary consciousness. When this is done our people will respond to the appeal of the Benevolences and to the Home and Foreign Missionary Enterprise. 5. Evangelism has been ever and is today Methodism's glory and crown. It was this that pushed our fathers across the Atlantic to America. It was this that drove them across the Alleghenys and down this beautiful Ohio Valley and gave us this conference that holds its session at this time. We recommend that every phase of the church program be focalized here. We mean by this that every phase of evangelism be pressed, in the church school, revivals to be held in every church, circuit revivals, community revivals, pressing out into the abandoned churches and neglected com munities with the saving message. The church that does not win souls will disintegrate at its heart and lose its place and power. 6. One of the great movements of the day is the Youth Crusade. Our rural communities are swarming with young people. We recommend that youth be given a chance. That they be given opportunity to express them selves in the work of the church. That the pastors pay special attention and give special effort to the winning and training of the youth of our rural communities realizing that they are the burden bearers of the church of tomorrow. A Christless youth today will mean a Christless community tomorrow. The Youth Crusade properly guided is the answer to tomorrow's problem. V. L. MOORE D. V. SNAPP ADOLPHUS GILLIAM, Committee. 22 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
History of Methodism in Kentncky�The report of the Commission of Publication of the History of Methodism in Kentucky was read and adopted. On motion, the Conference voted to levy an assessment of $350.00 to pay the deficit on this project.

We recommend that the Conference take action regarding this balance necessary to liquidate the debt. If apportioned with the benevolences it would require an assessment of about $350.00. We recommend also that the Historical Commission be continued until this matter is disposed of, and that, after the debt is paid, the ac cruing money from the sale of books, which will amount to a few dollars a year, be turned over to the Historical Society, or to a fund looking to the publication of Volume III of the History of Methodism in Kentucky. HOWARD W. WHITAKER, Chairman. JAMES E. SAVAGE, Secretary-Treasurer.

We are passing the requests of tlie District Superintendents for ap propriations to the suceeding Conference Board of Missions and Church Extension for their consideration and appropriations. This is to be our final report to the Kentucky Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South. VIRGIL L. MOORE, Chairman. A. R. PERKINS, Secretary.
Temperance�The report of the Committee on Temperance and other Moral Issues was read and adopted.
COMMITTEE OF TEMPERANCE AND SOCIAL SERVICE
Alcohol
Alcoholic drink, with its attendants evils, continues to rank as an unsolved problem of state and nation. The present situation is highly un satisfactory because both State and Federal governments have failed to recognize that a dimunition of the evils of drink can be brought about only by decreasing its consumption, and that its consumption bares a direct relation to the faculties provided for its distribution and the degree of promotion under law. We urge that everything possible to counter attack the alcohol trade in its efforts to promote the consumption of liquors by fad creation, and as a means to this end, we should particularly insist upon statutory adminis trative recognition of the social value of total abstinence and repression of the alcohol trade.
Gambling
Gambling is a social, political and economic menance which has as sumed alarming proportions. It envolves billions of dollars and is a systematic organization of criminal trade which extends into almost every part of the country and into almost every section of every city. Much of this organized traffic exists only through violent resistance to the law or its affective corruption. We urge determined resistance on the part of all good citizens to the proposal to legalized lotteries.
Pernicious Literature and Motion Pictures
The character of much of our literature, both in the form of books and magazines debauches the public taste and is subversive of good morals. As a Church we should not only oppose these evil influences but strive to offset them by constantly keeping before our people such literature as upholds personal dignity and a high standard of personal behavior. We protest Sunday night movies as a menace to the sanctity of the Sabbath and as demoralizing to Church attendance. To all efforts for control for such influences we pledge our active support. We desire to express our appreciation to the General Board of Chris tian Education in providing strong lessons on temperance for our Church Schools each quarter.
Peace
The Church recognizes the necessity of national defense and that present neglect should not be permitted to imperil future safety. How ever, it is our conviction that only by the enlistment of a international conscience can our people and like minded people on other continents be protected from the menace of war. We raise the question whether we can long tolerate the cruel destruction of great citizens which belong not only 24 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
to their own nation but to the world, the murder of thousands of inof fensive, noncombatants and the destruction of the liberties of entire peoples. We heartily commend the efforts of the President of the U. S. to help bring peace without war. H. L. MOORE, Chairman. F. T. HOWARD, Secretary.
Deacons Elected�Question No. 17 was resumed. O. S. Crain, R. K. Lee, and Alton Bradley, having met the Disciplinary requirement, were elected local deacons.
Received Into Full Connection�The Class for admission into full con nection, J. R. Parker, W. A. E. Johnson, T. 0. Harrison, and R. L. Ander son, were called before the Bar of the Conference, having been recom mended by the Committee on Admissions, gave satisfactory answers to the Disciplinary question, were suitably addressed by the Bishop, and were admitted into full connection.
Christian Literature�The report of the Committee on Christian Liter ature was read and adopted.
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF CHRISTIAN LITERATURE
The reports from the Publishing Agents of our church show that the printing and distribution of our church literature has enjoyed a healthy increase. This is particularly true of the Church School publications. The Upper Room, the Christian Advocate, the World Outlook and our own Con ference organ, the Kentucky Methodist. This year's report of the Publishing House reveals a profit of $201,159.63 which is an increase in business over last year of $74,085.88. From these profits $100,000.00 has been appropriated to the Conference Claimants of which the Kentucky Conference will receive $2,058.84 as its portion. We urge our people to use our Methodist literature. We believe that this is absolutely necessary in order to acquaint our people with the pro gram of our united church and all of its varied activities. As people read and study our periodicals they will become informed about our church. This will lead to an appreciation and love for our church and to an ade quate support of its great program. Our Conference organ, the Kentucky Methodist, has a present circula tion of 1700 which is an increase of about 200 over last year. There are no debts connected with its publication for the current year. There were 24 editions of the paper with one special edition, the Youth Crusade num ber. There was an average of 61/2 pages to each issue. It is the purpose of the editorial staff to increase the Kentucky Methodist to an eight page edition in order to meet the needs of a larger Conference and in anticipa tion of an enlarged subscription list with the subscription price to re main at 50c. We recommend that the Conference set as a goal a subscription list of not less than 3000 subscribers and that every pastor encourage its circulation among his church members. Mr. D. V. Snapp, editor and publisher of this most excellent church organ is to be highly commended for his untiring labors, efficient service, and the splendid style in which the paper is published. Of all our church papers, we feel that our Conference organ is nearer to our people and serves a unique and highly important place in our church program. We desire that it may help in every way to promote Christ's Kingdom throughout the Kentucky Conference. Your Committee very strongly recommends to the uniting churches JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 25 the continuation of the Kentucky Methodist as the Conference organ of the new Methodist Church in the Kentucky Conference. A. D. HOUGLIN, Chairman. MISS HATTIE NORRIS, Secretary. REV. FRANK C. KING, Assistant Sec.
Orphans' Home�The report of the Committee on Orphans' Home was read and adopted.
REPORT OF THE ORPHANS' HOME COMMITTEE
The Orphans' Home Committee met at 10 a. m. August 30. The Com mittee received the report of Mr. R. C. Tway, President of the Orphans' Home Board of Trustees and also a written report from Mrs. Jessie Ray Williams, who met the Committee in person. From these reports we find that our Home has had a most success ful year financially, but in other ways has had difficulties. There has been more sickness than usual and one child was lost through death, Mil dred Devary, aged 15 years. This however was the first death the home has had in 21 years. We have cared for 101 children this year and we now have 88 in the home. Special gifts to the home have totaled $9,639.50 while expenses for improvement have totaled $8,267.72. The low cost of food which is only 9c per capita was made possible through the many food donations sent in by the various churches. It is highly important that these food donations continue in order to keep down expenses. All expenses have averaged $197.88 or 54c per day against last year's average of $182.33. This increase is caused by fewer children and accounts such as salaries, repairs, etc., which remain practically the same. Special gratitude is due Mr. E. W. Savage for his donation of the new stone bridge leading to the Home, to Mrs. B. C. Dillon for completing of work on the entrance, to Miss Alice Taylor for her legacy and to Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Lewis of Franklin, Ky., for their donation of a 266-acre farm with its beautiful home and buildings, valued at approximately $100,000.00. Mrs. Williams wanted it made known to the Conference that this a most marvelous gift, however the Board is under necessity of spending quite a sum of money to convert it into an Orphans' Home. Your Committee recommends that every charge and church have a good Orphans' Home Committee and that these Committees join with the Pastor and Sunday School Superintendents to see that the Fifth Sunday offerings are taken and sent to the Home. The Fifth Sunday offerings for this year were $341.56 less than last year. Attached to this report is the report of Mr. R. C. Tway and a financial exhibit for the past year. Your Committee recommends the names of Rev. A. G. Stone and Judge H. G. Sandifer for re-election to the Board of Trustees. Respectfully submitted, A. D. HOUGLIN, Chairman. K. O. POTTS, Secretary.
To The Bishop and Members of the Kentucky Annual Conference in session at Winchester, Ky., August-September, 1939. Gentlemen : During the fiscal year ending July 31, 1939, the Home has made sub stantial progress in the improvement of the plant at Versailles and in its financial condition. A four-inch main was installed connecting the Home with the water mains of the City of Versailles giving the Home a much safer water supply 26 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
from a health standpoint and an adequate water supply for both the use of the Home and fire protection. The additions to the Endowment Fund were:
The Sallie Downing Slack Estate $5000 00 The Flora Faris Estate 2524 05 The Ida Ashcraft Estate 2115 45
Total $9639 50
We beg to report a most generous and substantial gift from Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Lewis of FYanklin, Ky., a farm containing 266 acres with a beautiful home and substantial outbuildings, and the farm in every way in the most perfect condition. The donor specified that this farm is to be used as an orphans' home and, while details have not been worked out, we feel this is going to be a substantial help in the promotion of our work. We cannot overemphasize the generosity displayed by Mr. and Mrs. Lewis in donating their home for this noble work. We feel very grateful and much indebted to Mr. E. W. Savage for the donation of a stone bridge leading to the Home at Versailles and the com pletion of the entrance, which was made by Mrs. B. C. Dillon of Ham mond, Ind. We have had during the year 101 children. Some have graduated; that is, have reached the age where they are dismissed from the Home, and at the present time we have 88. We had one death in the Home this year, Mildred Devary. She was 15 years old and died of heart trouble on July 12th. This was the first death in the Home in 21 years.
We attach hereto a copy of the income and expense statement con densed from the annual audit. Respectfully submitted, R. C. TWAY, President, RCT-WW Methodist Home Board.

These five pastors and the Conference Director have spoken in behalf of this all-important Kingdom cause in many district and conference meetings. They have presented the "Fellowship of Evangelism" and "Tidings," urging their use in all our churches, have secured reports on revivals, conversions, and accessions, and have written all of the pastors one or more times during the year. These reports have been encouraging. We believe this has been a good year in evangelism, with large results in spiritual refreshing and increased numbers. Bishop Darlington led the Pastors of the Conference in a day of evangelism dedication. Dr. Harry Denman, Director of the General Com mission, spoke on this vital work at the Conference Adult Assembly. Similar messages from others have been given in all the district and an nual meetings held during the year. A special all-day evangelistic rally was held in one district. Different methods have been used in other dis tricts.
We rejoice in the enthusiastic concern for evangelism which was so frequently expressed during the Uniting Conference at Kansas City. The plans of that Conference stressing a renewed and deepened emphasis upon the evangelistic mission of the Church, heartens us greatly. We have been deeply stirred as we have considered the spiritual needs of the unreached in the bounds of our Conference. We have been en couraged with the reports of gracious seasons of awakening and harvest in many of our churches. Again we earnestly plead that every method of evangelism be con stantly used in all of the services and activities of the Church. We need parents and teachers, pastors and evangelists, witnesses and personal workers who will constantly seek to bring children, young people, and adults into a saving fellowship with Him Whom to know is life eternal. Respectfully submitted, VIRGIL L. MOORE, Chairman. HOWARD W. WHITAKER, Secretary.

BOARD OF CHURCH EXTENSION
The Board of Church Extension submits the following report: "We met in annual session in Winchester, Ky., August 29th, 1939. We had before us eleven applications for donations from the Conference Board amounting to $2450.00, and we had $955.00 for distribution. We regret very much that we could not grant the full amount asked for by each ap plicant, but the reduced amount received for benevolences in recent years has caused the Budget Commission to reduce the percentage allowed this Board to such an extent we do not have for distribution more than one third as much as we formerly had. In view of this fact, we urge those contemplating asking for aid to be sure they have a real need, then to be as conservative in their askings as possible. The following appropriations were made.

REPORT OF BOARD OF AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY TO THE KEN- TUCKY ANNUAL CONFERENCE, 1939.
Your Board had before it a report of the American Bible Society. Inasmuch as the Bible points the way to individual redemption, and at the same time, provides a character-making power which will assert itself for democracy as against other theories of government, and for the Church as against paganism, its wide distribution in many languages is imperative at the present time. The American Bible Society is the agency of the American Churches for the accomplishment of this gigantic task. During the past year, the Society has distributed almost 7 million volumes, including over 40,000 to CCC camps in this country, as well as many others to jails, hospitals, and young and mission churches. New translations include the Otetela New Testament for the Belgian Congo ; the Quechua St. Luke for Ecuador ; and the revised Bible in Cebuan for the Philippines. Two others were on the press, and translation work in nine additional languages was in process. Measured by requests for literature. Universal Bible Sunday was more widely observed during the past year than in any previous year, with one exception. Therefore, your Board recomm.ends that this body endorse the work of the American Bible Society, that pastors make a unanimous observ ance of Universal Bible Sunday on December 10, 1939, and that we con tinue our financial support of this work through the Benevolences.

MEMOIRS
THE EEYEBEND ROBERT T. BROWN, D. D.
Dr. Brown was born in Allen County, Kentucky, July 23, 1871, and passed from his earthly home to his Father's House on high, February 8, 1939. He was converted at New Liberty in 1881 at the age of nine and united with the Pleasant Hill Methodist Episcopal Church, South. His parents, John E. and Margaret Lyle Brown, were of Methodist pioneer stock. They were godly. Their home was a place of prayer and deep piety. Dr. Brown and Miss Ruby Alma Payne were united in marriage in Broadway Church, Louisville, Kentucky, April 28, 1914. They were ideally mated. They brought to the Church united purpose, unselfish service, and whole hearted devotion. Their love, the one for the other, was tender and beautiful. Their lives happily blended together in one grand symphony of praise and beauty, made an acceptable offering unto their God and Saviour. Dr. Brown joined the Louisville Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, and during his thirty-eight years as a Methodist itinerant preacher served the following charges: in the Louisville Conference, South Scottsville; Bowling Green; Oakdale, Louisville; Glasgow; he also served as Conference Evangelist two years. In the Western Virginia Conference he served. First Church, Charleston; Billingsley Memorial, Fairmont; Clendennin; Emmanuel, Huntington; Saint Paul's, Parkersburg; he also served the Huntington District as Pre siding Elder. In the Kentucky Conference he served as pastor at First Church, Winchester and Cynthiana Church where he was serving at the time of his passing. He was President of Morris Harvey College, Bar- boursville, West Virginia for three years. He was one of the delegates from the West Virginia Conference to the General Conference of 1934. He was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference of Methodism that met in Atlanta in 1931. He served in these various capacities with marked ability. Dr. Brown received his A. B. degree from Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky, and did his theological work at Vanderbilt University. The honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity was bestowed upon him by Morris Harvey College now located at Charleston, West Virginia. Dr. Brown was a builder and promoter. In almost every charge he served he promoted new building projects or repairs or debt raising cam paigns. He raised nearly a half million dollars for these purposes. As pastor Dr. Brown was a systematic, painstaking worker. During his thirty-eight years of itinerant service he preached 4713 times and made 17,242 pastoral calls. During his pastorate he witnessed 2968 con versions and received 2976 persons into the church. He was always on the job, ever at his post of duty. He was a positive preacher. He dealt with the great certainties and affirmations of the Gospel. Preaching the Gospel of Christ was his supreme passion. He was evangelistic in spirit. He was fully at home in a revival meeting in his own church or that of a fellow pastor. He preached and practiced the doctrine of Christian stewardship. The cause of missions never suffered neglect at his hands. He was daring in all things, and sounded a clear trumpet call to his people. He regarded no worthy undertaking as being beyond the reach of a believing church. Truly he was a faithful minister of Jesus Christ. As to personal characteristics. Dr. Brown was without pretense or sham. He wa,s absolutely fearless in dealing with the sins of his people and the social evils of his community. He was always in the forefront 48 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE of every battle for civic righteousness and community decency. He seemed to have caught the spirit of Browning's Knight of the Christian Faith:
"One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward,
Never doubted clouds would break, . . . Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake."
Dr. Brown possessed a rugged character. There was something of the mountains about him and of huge, solid trees. Yet he was gentle with all. He loved the garden and the flowers. He was a loyal, faith ful friend. He had a genius for home life and was a devoted husband.
"His life was gentle, and the elements So mixed in him that nature might stand up And say to all the world. This was a man!"
A short time before Dr. Brown departed this life he said to Bishop Darlington who came to see him: "Brother Darlington tell my brethern that Christ is real." During his last hours he was deeply conscious of the presence of Him who is the Resurrection and the Life. Funeral serv ices were held in the Cynthiana Church, conducted by Bishop Darlington, who was assisted by Dr. Brown's presiding elder and several other pastors. His body was taken to Shelbyville, Kentucky, for interment in the beauti ful cemetery at that place. Dr. Brown is survived by his wife, two sisters and a brother, and several nieces and nephews. It seems fitting that this statement should close with some verses from one of Dr. Brown's favorite hymns:
"Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the bird waketh, and the shadows flee; Fairer than morning, lovelier than daylight. Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with thee.
When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber. Its closing eyes look up to thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath thy wings o'ershading. But sweeter still, to wake and find thee there.
So shall it be at last, in that bright morning. When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning, Shall rise the glorious thought�I am with thee.
MRS. R. H. HOBBS
Mrs. R. H. Hobbs was born March 1st, 1858, near Rose Hill, Virginia, and departed this life May 31st, 1939, after a brief illness at her home in Mackville. In early life she joined the Methodist Church in her home com munity. On August the 19th, 1880, she was united in marriage with the late Revered R. H. Hobbs, who was a beloved member of this Conference. Reverend and Mrs. Hobbs traveled in three Conferencs of our Church, the Holston, the Kentucky, and the North Carolina. Two daughters were born to Reverend and Mrs. Hobbs, Mrs. Cornelia Gillis, deceased, and Mrs. R. C. Bottoms of Mackville. JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 49
Since the death of her husband in 1908 she has resided in Mack ville and continued to be a benediction and blessing to the Church in that community. Converted in early life she grew into a lovely devoted Chris tian spirit, giving of herself freely as a minister's wife during the years of her husband's ministry. This relation was cut short by the early death of Brother Hobbs and so it was her lot to become the "Spiritual Mother" of the Church and community in which she chose to reside. For 31 years she has lived and largely typed the spiritual vision and ambitions of this community. Her quiet, yet firm Christian personality has made an im print which will not be erased for generations. Her pastors through the years have recognized her as the quiet, unassuming spirit which came to their assistance in every emergency. Her life long love has been the Woman's Missionary Program of the Church, and she looked back with a degree of just pride to the fact that she had a part in its earliest de velopments. Her funeral services were conducted in the Mackville Methodist Church by the Presiding Elder�Rev. Adolphus Gilliam, the Reverend W. P. Fryman, and her pastor, the Reverend E. C. Johnson. Her remains were placed in rest beside her husband's in the Peter's Cemetery at Mackville, Kentucky.
MES. G. N. BUFFINGTON
Mrs. Eloise Reid Bufflngton was the only daughter of George L. Reid, M. D. and Louise Tillotson Reid who was the great granddaughter of Archbishop Tillotson of Canterbury, and was born August 10, 1852. Her oldest brother died when young and her other brother. Rev. Clarence F. Reid, D. D. was well known for his valuable service to the M. E. Church, South. He served as missionary in China for seventeen years and three years in Korea and later he had a prominent part in the organization of the Layman's movement and served as Secretary of that Board. He also did service with the Board of Missions. She received her educational training at Mary Lyons Seminary. In the spring of 1871 at a camp meeting which was being held at St. Louis Springs, Michigan, she was converted. It was not a passing fancy with her for she had deep convictions and in her own words it was a regeneration, for all of her life and plans were changed by this wonder ful experience which came to her at that time. She had been a member of another faith as a girl but at this time she identified herself with the Methodists and ever continued a faithful member. She loved to talk about this wonderful experience and not long before her passing she told this writer of what a glorious change it was and it was very evident in her conversation and life for she had grown in grace and in the knowledge of her Lord. As she spoke there was assurance that Christ was even more to her that day and her face glowed as she spoke of the anticipations which would be hers at the end of the journey. On the twenty-first day of December, 1871 she was married to Rev. George Nicholas Bufflngton who was then serving the Sardis charge. She was never happier than during these years she spent as a pastor's wife for she was happy in service. Because of physical conditions Bro. Bufflngton took the Super numerary relation, and moved to a farm near Florence, Ky., and later to Erlanger where she continued to live after his passing. Mrs. Bufflngton was a charter member of the Woman's Missionary Society of the Kentucky Conference, and served as secretary for two years. Not long before her passing she gave a tea at her home com- merating the 60th Anniversary of the Society, and being an accomplished musician she furnished the music for the occasion, 50 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE
She was a wonderful woman, well informed and a splendid con versationalist, with an unusual vocabulary and when she spoke it must be the exact word to convey her meaning. She was well equipped for life and was perfectly at home in any position or society. The people loved her and she loved the people and she was considerate of all, espe cially of those who were in trouble or in need. She loved her Lord and His church and continued to take her place in the services until just a short time before her last illness. She passed peacefully to rest March 9. 1939 at her home. Her funeral services were conducted by her pastor. Rev. W. B. Garriott, and two former pastors. Rev. A. G. Stone and Rev. H. C. Martin. Her remains were laid to rest in the Highland Cemetery near Covington, Kv. W. B. GARRIOTT. STATISTICAL TABLES STATISTICAL TABLE NO. 1�CARLISLE DISTRICT

XIV, 13. The first Conference in Kentucky was held in 1790; but the work in Kentucky was not set apart as the Kentucky Conference till 1821. Mean while, death was claiming its own among the preachers. Henry Birchett died in 1794; Francis Acuff, in 1795; Lewis Hunt, in 1801; Learner Black- man, in 1815.

The committee appointed by Bishop U. V. W. Darlington to report on the manner of transferring the properties of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protest ant Church, within the bounds of the Kentucky Annual Conference, so as to vest the title thereto in the Methodist Church beg leave to report as follows : We find that each of the three above mentioned churches through their respective General Conferences appointed a Commission on Inter denominational Relations and Church Union which Commissions met and acting jointly produced and presented to the three aforesaid churches a Plan of Union and that the three churches each acting for and in its own behalf did, by more than the constitutional majority in each case, endorse and adopt the said plan of union in accordance with their respective con stitutions and disciplines and that in the adoption of the Plan of Union the three churches did authorize and provide for a Uniting Conference which Uniting Conference duly authorized and lawfully chosen in ac cordance with the Plan of Union did meet -in the city of Kansas City, Missouri, in the months of April and May, 1939, and did on May 10, 1939, by unanimous vote declare the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and the Methodist Protestant Church to be united in one ecclesiastical body to be known as the Methodist Church. We find further that this union was legally conceived in the respective General Conference of the three above mentioned churches and that each step toward the union was taken according to the rules and regulations laid down in their respective disciplines and that therefore this union car ries with it all properties of every kind and character heretofore belong ing to the three original bodies and that it now legally passes to the united church known as the Methodist Church without the formality of re-writing deeds or taking any other steps. We find further that in the case of incorporated bodies and institutions of all kinds belonging to or under the control of the three original churches it will be necessary to amend all charters or articles of incorporation to conform to the new name but that all such corporate bodies may continue as they are until such time as proper transfer shall be made. See No. 1614 of the Metho dist Discipline. Our legal conclusions are based on the facts of the various legal steps taken by the three original churches and the following court de cisions : Wallace v. Hughes, 131 Ky. 445; 115 S. W. 684; Sharp vs. Bonham, 213 Fed., 660; Barkley v. Hayes, 208 Fed., 319, afterwards affirmed by the Circuit Court of Appeals as reported in 22 Fed. 669; 138 C. C. A. 217. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD EDELMAIER, C. H. GREER, GEORGE VAUGHN, Committee.

Kays, Danville, D. L. L.; W. S. McGuire, Wilmore, A. L. L.; Robert Friend, Irvine, A. L. L. Covington District�H. M. Zimmerman, Covington, D. L. L. ; Warner Wilson, Covington, A. L. L. ; C. N.

L. Shelbyville District�W. T. Baker, Shelbyville, Ky., D. L. L.; D. B. Palmeter, Frankfort, Ky., A. L. L. ; J. Sam Smith, Shelbyville, A. L. L. Ashland District�B. E. Pratt, Ashland, Ky., D. L. L. ; Garland Rice, Paintsville, A. L. L.; K. J. Day, Pikeville, A. L. L. A committee to appear before the Committee on Finance or Budget was appointed. It was observed that our work must be adequately sup ported if we are to serve. We will do little things if we are granted little finance. We implore generous financial aid, and we believe our program of church work among the laymen will go forward. During all last week thirteen of our laymen went to Lake Junaluska to attend the Laymen's Conference. This is evidence of awakened inter est among our laymen. They have a larger vision, a deeper devotion. These outstanding laymen are ready to serve. Let us commandeer them for Kingdom service. We invite the pastors to use them for they want to serve. Our laymen have determined to put some emphasis this year upon Lay Preaching, with the view of reviving in America, as in England, this marvelous service to a lost world by laymen who love God and the Church. We invite you. Bishop, District Superintendents and Pastors, to help the laymen understand better, to know more of this district service laymen may render. Let us develop in reality some lay preachers. They will be most useful, inspiring and helpful. We really want to do some thing of this kind along the old and almost forgotten program of lay 42 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE preaching. We believe that our laymen are ready for this devoted and really important service in the Church of our Master. Brethern, we are convinced that this is really a new day in Ken tucky Methodism. Our laymen from the former Methodist Episcopal Meth odist Protestant Churches and the Ashland District are undoubtedly cog nizant of the bright and promising possibilities of lay work. Let us who are experienced in Lay Activities rededicate our energies and hearts to better and more sacrificial efforts. Your Board went on record as favoring for the United Church the establishing of one great Methodist Weekly, so that our great Methodism may speak out with force, prestige and influence upon the important church and civic problems of this nation. And we have recorded it as our judgment that there ought to be in each of the great new Jurisdictions of the Church a Secretary of Lay Activities, on the General Staff however, to promote lay work within said jurisdic tions. Upon these two live topics we have memoralized the next General Conference, and ask your endorsement in behalf of our program. It was thought advisable by the Board, after suggestion by one of the District Superintendents, to compile a procedural sheet, showing duties and opportunities of service by the district, and Associate Lay Leaders, in the churches of the district, and as a district organization. This was agreed to be done and the Conference Lay Leader was directed to compile and distribute same to all Lay Leaders, and District Superintendents at once, which will be done. By ballot duly spread M. C. Redwine was unanimously nominated as Conference Lay Leader for the coming year, which action is subject to confirmation by the Lay members of this Annual Conference, as pro vided by Section 1225, Discipline of the Methodist Church. Respectfully submitted, M. C. REDWINE, Conference Lay Leader. Missiens�E. B. Kohlstedt of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension was introduced and addressed the Conference. Budget�The report of the Commission on Budget was read and adopted. COMMISSION ON BUDGET After much consultation, discussion and difficult work your Commis sion brings you this report.

That the Conference Treasurer distribute all funds to the interests and groups represented in the claims. (A supplementary report will be furnished the Treasurer for his information). 3.

FLOYD D. ROSE, President. G. R. TOMLIN, Secretary. Wesley House�The report of the Trustees of Wesley House was read and adopted. WESLEY HOUSE BOARD OF TRUSTEES As required by its by-laws, your Board met twice during this session of the Annual Conference. Your Board is now holding property as follows: A 3-apartment residence at Wilmore, Ky., valued at $3,000.00. One apart ment therein is now vacant. One nicely located, four-room residence, with all modern conveniences in Winchester, Ky., valued at $2500.00. It is now vacant. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees it was voted to transfer to the proper successor Board all of the property of the Wesley Plouse Board, but after considering the provisions of Sections 791, 1614, sub section 2, and 1261, all of which relate to the holding of property by Boards or Trustees, and one of which provides for continuation of existing Boards until after the next General Conference, and another of which pro vides that all such property shall be under the direct supervision of a Con ference Board on Hospitals' and Homes, it was thought by the Chairman and Secretary, after due consideration, to recommend that the present Wesley House Board of Trustees be continued through this current year, subject however, to mature consideration and judgment on the part of this Board, after careful deliberation by the members of the other Boards named by these named Sections of the Discipline of the Methodist Church, just published. Your Board is anxious to follow the Mandate of the neW Discipline, to step in line with the new organization, and will seek every opportunity to carry out the spirit and letter of the new law relating to such matters. Respectfully submitted, WM. S. MAXWELL, Chairman. M. C. REDWINE, Secretary. Kentucky Methodist�The report of the Committee on Publication of the Kentucky Methodist was filed without reading. KENTUCKY 3IETH0DIST PUBLISHING COMMISSION The new commission ordered by the Conference met and elected the following officers: J. E". Savage, Chairman; Mrs. Ruth Snapp, Secretary; Dennis V. Snapp, Treasurer. After consultation with the Board of Christian Education, Mr. Snapp was elected Editor and Publisher of the Kentucky Methodist, which he hopes to enlarge into an eight page paper at an early date. 46 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE Since its incipiency the Kentucky Methodist has paid its own way. This is due to two causes: 1. The Board of Christian Education allows the same amount for publicity that was appropriated for that purpose when the Christian Edu cation Digest was the organ of the Board. 2. Because of the income from the subscriptions, which releases more of Mr. Snapp's time for his duties as Conference Executive-Extension Secretary. The further fact also, that no delinquent subscribers are carried, helps to make this possible. The name of any subscriber must be removed as soon as his subscription expires. So please do not think that you may be an exception. The margin is too narrow to permit deviation from the rule. As this is our own and only Conference organ, and its size is not large, no extended articles are accepted. But we must have the Conference news. Please inform the editor of important happenings in your church. We are not able to give space to obituaries, and extended resolutions, but we are very anxious for notices of illness or death among those who have become known throughout our Conference, both preachers and laymen, and of all activities in the local church that are of general interest to our people through the entire Conference. We especially invite all new groups in the united Conference to join us in this important enterprise, and pledge ourselves ready to serve you to the best of our ability. J. E. SAVAGE, Chairman.

JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 49 Evangelism�The report of the Commission on Evangelism was read and adopted by a two-thirds vote of the Conference. REPORT OF THE COMISSION ON EVANGELISM The Commission on Evangelism met and elected H. W. Whitaker, Chairman, J. Ralph Wood, Vice-Chairman, C. W. Grant, Secretary-Treas urer, and W. L. Clark, Conference Director of Evangelism. We believe evangelism to be a very vital part of our church program, and in so far as it is neglected, we are thus failing to fulfill our Divine commission. To that end we are asking that the following goals be set for the ensuring Conference year: 1. That we earnestly strive to have 4000 additions to the membership of our Church, including 2000 on profession of faith. 2. That the District Superintendent and the District Director of Evangelism be requested to hold a retreat for the pastors of the District, as a special preparation for the evangelistic efforts in our conference. 3. That the pastor of each charge be requested to hold at least one revival outside his own charge during the conference year. 4. That in view of the already organized Youth Crusade throughout the Church, we recommend that each pastor give every co-operation pos sible in this great program and organize his young people into a School of Evangelism, prior to and leading up to Easter. 5. We recommend that the plans of Evangelism set up by the Gen eral Commission on Evangelism be set up in every charge as a means of reaching the unreached and enriching the lives of those who have already made a decision for Christ. 6. The Commission urges every pastor to make his Sunday evening services highly evangelistic. To endeavor to increase the attendance in this service by asking one or more of the following organizations to be responsible for an increased attendance upon this service: Woman's Missionary Society, Board of Stewards, Board of Christian Education, Worker's Council, and Men's Brotherhood. 7. We also urge our pastors to use our General, Conference and ap proved evangelists for intense programs of righteousness for the salva tion of the lost. In the reports of the evangelists to the Commission we were heartened to learn of the new and many fields being opened to them. All agreed that the world has an open door for sane and spiritual evangelism. We believe that the world is hungry for a Christ who can save unto the utter most. We urge upon our fellow-pastors, therefore, the necessity of putting monetary maters in their secondary place, and putting a clear- cut primary emphasis on the things of the Spirit, to realize something of the fearful responsibility as Vv^ell as the glorious privilege of being the shepherd of souls. We thus urge our pastors to live close to Christ, pray much in private, be daily students of His Word, so that it may be said of us, as was said of our great founder,�that he was out of breath pursuing souls. And by this, Methodism can do it again. We wish to recommend for appointment the following: For General Evangelists�H. C. Morrison, 0. H. Callis, Jordon W. Carter, Andrew Johnson, H. W. Bromley, and J. B. Kendall. For Conference Evangelists�Dee W. Cobb, M. H. Richardson, L. E. Williams, T. P. Roberts, J. R. Parker, Newton King, and Wm. Kelly. We recommend Roscoe Jenkins as an approved evangelist, Charles H. Mc- Euen and Clarence Whalen as approved, song-evangelisti and young peo ple's workers. Respectfully submitted, H. W. WHITAKER, Chairman. C. W. GRANT, Secretary. 50 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE Missions�Reports 1, 2, and 3 of the Board of Missions were read and adopted. CONFERENCE BOARD OF MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION REPORT NUMBER 1 Your Conference Board of Missions and Church Extension faces the future with confidence. We rejoice in the consciousness of the added strength that has come to us through the uniting of the churches. We realize the imperative needs of a world that is torn by war and misunder standing. The task that confronts us is no greater than the ability of our Christ to meet and accomplish it. We believe the whole program and future of the church depends upon the pulse beat of the Missionary impulse and passion. To this end we rededicate our Board and its resources to the task of sending along the arteries of the world's life, the Life Giving Power of the Gospel of our Lord. Mission Study Book The Mission Study Book for the United Church is coming from the pen of, perhaps, the world's greatest Missionary Statesman�Dr. John R. Mott. In this book Dr. Mott is going to give the United Methodism a pic ture of Methodist Missions around the world. From indications the sale of this book will pass 350,000 volumns. We urge the District Superintendents and Pastors in this, perhaps, the darkest hour in the world's history that a school of missions be conducted in every church. Tlie World Outlook No missionary publication has attracted more attention or has ren dered greater service than the World Outlook. It would stimulate our churches if every home had this periodicle on its reading table. The Upper Room The need of family worship in every home is not a debatable question. Therefore, we urge our Pastors to lay upon the hearts of our people the gracious possibilities in the use of the Upper Room, which is proving a blessing in more than a half million homes every day. The Woman's Work Our women in their work continue to press forward. We are happy to note that they made normal progress in all phases of their work dur ing this past year. They overpaid their Missionary pledge by $1,000.00 on a total pledge of $17,000.00; this with their local budget of $10,000.00 makes a grand total of $27,000.00. 511 new members were added, most of these young women with new vision and powers of leadership. Their leadership training school, conducted at Lincoln Ridge for colored women was the best attended of any so far. Many of these col ored women received training for very efficient work in their respective communities. The number participating in Mission and Bible Classes is increasing in number. Their annual retreat held at Camp Kavanaugh was a time of real spiritual uplift and strengthening. The Church throughout the Conference has felt the levening of the spiritual power engendered by the spiritual life groups. Our women stand ready as they have always stood ready to enter into JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 51 this New Methodist Church with consecration and devotion to do their utmost. Tlie Toutli's Crusade We rejoice at the coming of the Youth's Crusade and as a Board of Missions and Church Extension we stand ready to assist this movement in any way we can. Following the recommendation of the Young People's Organization of the Conference we nominate to the Committee on Missions and Church Extension of the Jurisdictional Conference as nominees for the Kentucky Conference for managers of the connectional Board of Missions and Church Extension�Miss Sarah Adeline McConnell of Danville, Ky and Mr. Will iam E. Savage of Lexington, Ky. For Connectional Board of Missions and Church Extension We nominate from the Kentucky Conference Dr. W. G. Cram and Mr. Fred Brettschneider, to the Committee on Missions and Church Exten sion of the Jurisdictional Conference for Managers of the Connectional Board of Missions and Church Extension. Conference Missionary Secretary We nominate A. R. Perkins as Conference Missionary Secretary. District Missionary Secretaries The fine work and splendid results throughout the districts achieved through the co-operation of the District Superintendents with the office of District Missionary Secretary has more than justified the appointment of these brethern. We recommend the following as District Missionary Secretaries: Ashland District�Rev. S. W. Funk. Barbourville District�Rev. W. H. Poore. Carlisle District�Rev. Paul C. Gillespie. Covington District�Rev. G. E. Graden. Danville District�Rev. Leslie M. Rogers. Lexington District�Rev. W. H. Wilson. Shelbyville District�Rev. J. R. Wheeldon. District Missionary Institutes The District Missionary Institute has proved itself to be of untold value in moulding and shaping the Missionary ideals and flaming the pas sion of Missionary endeavor throughout the Church. We earnestly in vite the fullest co-operation on the part of District Superintendents, Pastors, Lay Leaders and the Missionary women in making the insti tutes this coming autumn the best attended that we have had as we face the task committed to us as a United Church. The dates and places of these Institutes is as follows: District Place Date Carlisle Flemingsburg October 16 Covington Covington-Trinity October 17 Shelbyville Frankfort October 18 Lexington Lexington, First October 19 Danville Danville, Centenary October 20 Barbourville Harlan October 23 24 Ashland Louisa .

Harrer, Daniel APPENDIX 64 JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE MEMOIRS The Reverend Robert T. Brown, D. D. Dr. Brown was born in Allen County, Kentucky, July 25, 1871, and passed from his earthly home to his Father's House on High, February 8, 1939. He was converted at New Liberty in 1881 at the age of nine and united with the Pleasant Hill Methodist Episcopal Church, South. His parents, John E. and Margaret Lyle Brown, were of Methodist Pioneer stock. They were godly. Their home was a place of prayer and deep piety. Dr. Brown and Miss Ruby Alma Payne were united in marriage in Broadway Church, Louisville, Kentucky, April 28, 1914. They were ideally mated. They brought to the church united purpose, unselfish service, and whole hearted devotion. Their love, the one for the other, was tender and beautiful. Their lives, happily blended together in one grand sym phony of praise and beauty, made an acceptable offering unto their God and Saviour. Dr. Brown joined the Louisville Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Bowling Green, Kentucky, and during his thirty-eight years as a Methodist itinerant minister served the following charges: in the Louisville Conference, South Scottsville, Bowling Green, Oakdale, and Glasgow. He also served as Conference Evangelist two years. In the Western Virginia Conference, he served First Church, Charleston; Bill- ingsly Memorial at Fairmount; Clendennin Emmanuel, Huntington; Saint Paul's Parkersburg. He also served the Huntington District as Presiding Elder. In the Kentucky Conference, he served as pastor at First Church, Winchester, and Cynthiana Church, where he was serving at the time of his passing. He was President of Morris Harvey College, Barboursville, West Virginia, for three years. He was one of the delegates from the Western Virginia Conference to the General Conference of 1934. He was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference of Methodism in Atlanta in 1931. He served in these capacities with marked ability. Dr. Brown received his A. B. degree from Bethel College, Russellville, Kentucky, and his theological work at Vanderbilt University. The honor ary degree Doctor of Divinity was bestowed upon him by Morris Harvey College, now located at Charleston, West Virginia. Dr. Brown was a builder and promoter. In almost every charge he served he promoted new building projects or repairs or debt raising cam paigns. He raised nearly half a million dollars for these purposes. As a pastor, Dr. Brown was a sympathetic, painstaking worker. Dur ing his thirty-eight years of itinerant service, he preached 4715 times and made 17,242 pastoral calls. During his pastorate he witnessed 2,968 con versions and received 2,976 persons into the church. He was always on the job, ever at his post of duty. He was a positive preacher. He dealt with great certainties and affirmations of the gospel. Preaching the Gospel of Christ was his supreme passion. He was evangelistic in spirit. He was fully at home in a revival meeting in his own church or that of a fellow pastor. He preached and practiced the doctrine of Christian Ste wardship. The cause of Missions never suffered neglect at his hands. He was daring in all things, and sounded a clear trumpet call to his people. He regarded no worthy undertaking as being beyond the reach of a believing church. Truly he was a faithful minister of Jesus Christ. As to his personal characteristics, Dr. Brown was without pretense or sham. He was absolutely fearless in dealing with the sins of his peo ple and the social evils of the community. He was always in the fore front of every battle for civil righteousness and community decency. He seemed to have caught the spirit of Browning's Knight of the Christian Faith: JOURNAL KENTUCKY CONFERENCE 65 "One who never turned his back, but marched breast forward. Never doubted clouds would break. Held we fall to rise, are baffled to fight better, Sleep to wake." Dr. Brown possessed a rugged character. There was something of the mountains about him and of huge solid trees. Yet he was gentle with all. He loved the garden and the flowers. He was a loyal and faithful friend. He was a genius for home life and was a devoted husband. A short time before Dr. Brown departed this life, he said to Bishop Darlington who came to see him: "Brother Darlington, tell my brethren that Christ is real." During his last hours he was deeply conscious of the presence of Him who is the Resurrection and the Life. Funeral services were held at the Cynthiana Church, conducted by Bishop Darlington, who was assisted by Dr. Brown's presiding elder and several other pastors. His body was taken to Shelbyville, Kentucky, for interment in the beauti ful cemetery at that place. Dr. Brown is survived by his wife, two sisters and a brother, and several nieces and nephews. It seems fiting that this statement should close with some verses from one of Dr. Brown's favorite hymns: "Still, still with Thee, when purple morning breaketh, When the birds waketh and shadows flee ; Fairer than morning, loA^elier than daylight. Dawns the sweet consciousness, I am with Thee. When sinks the soul, subdued by toil, to slumber. Its closing eyes look up to Thee in prayer; Sweet the repose beneath thy wings o'ershading. But sweeter still, to wake and find Thee there. So shall it be at last, in the bright morning. When the soul waketh, and life's shadows flee; O, in that hour, fairer than daylight dawning. Shall rise the glorious thought�I am with Thee." O. B. CROCKETT. Rev. W. M. Crabtree Rev. W. M. Crabtree was born in 1883 near Louisa, Kentucky, and de parted this life, March 22, 1939, age 56 years. He was converted about twenty-five years ago and had been in the ministry several years with another denomination. He joined our Conference in August, 1929, and had a charge every years but two. He was a very devout Christian and tried to set an example before the world. He will be missed in his county and neighborhood, and our Conference has lost a Brother who will be missed at our next gather ing. Then as the poet has said: "Oh for the touch of a vanished hand or the sound of the voice that is still." But we will not mourn as those who have no hope, for if we are true we shall meet again. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Jas. A. Hervey, of Fort Gray, West Virginia. Brother Crabtree was converted in a meeting held by Rev. Hervey. He leaves a wife, Mrs. Phrona Diamond Crabtree, and daughters, Mrs. Williard Carter, Kingston, Ohio, Mrs. W. B. Webb, Columbus, Ohio, Misses Mildred, Ella and Reba at home, and three sons, E. R. Crabtree, Greenup, Kentucky, Hubert and William at home. He was laid to rest in the family cemetery at his home at Gladys, Kentucky. A. C. WATKINS.
