2. What are the essentials of a first class college ? The answer will justify our claim that no College for women is of higher grade than 3. GOUCHER COLLEGE 4.

BALTIMORE, MARYLAND

(Formerly the Woman’s College of Baltimore)

The FACULTY is composed of finely-trained teachers, men and women of refinement and judgment, who are interested in the normal and complete development of their students.

The EQUIPMENT of the College is adequate and elegant. On the scholastic side there are modern recitation rooms, laboratories, libraries, museums and other halls; on the home side there are dormitories with excellent facilities. The grounds are spacious.

The LOCATION IN BALTIMORE is advantageous. The charm of quiet culture is still a distinction of this well located city. Such institutions as the Johns Hopkins University, the Maryland Institute, the Walters Art Gallery and the Peabody Conservatory of Music enrich the life of students. Baltimore is not a place of competing diversions and distractions, and is a safe place for residence.

The CURRICULUM of the College is approved and is not an experiment. The educational value of every study is known. Much of our work is required ; although generous elective courses are offered. Vocational work as such is not attempted. We have deliberately decided to emphasize the educational significance of an approved curriculum, and not spread out into fields of novelty or specialization. The course of study leads to the only degree now given by the College, Bachelor of Arts. (OVER) INTENTIONAL SECOND EXPOSURE

We owe this delightful experience in largest measure to the urbane administration of our presiding Bishop, William F. Anderson. We deeply appreciate the fact that in his formal, administrative duties there have been expressed both the accuracy of the careful administrator and the gracious spirit of the Christian gentlemen. We count ourselves also in his debt for his addresses and sermons. And last- ly, in ‘the human touch,’ that most delicate and power- Methodist Episcopal Church. 387

ful of all forms and modes of human influence, we recognize that he has placed us under yet deeper obligation.

The presence, the temporary presidency and the in- tense and comprehensive missionary sermon of Bishop Wilson T. Lewis, furnish added reason for thankfulness. And now, we recognize in few words but with full appreciation that it has been the unwearied devotion of Pastor E. D. Dimond and his enthusiastic and loyal people, together with the co-operating Methodism of the city, that have made us to feel the largest welcome to their beautiful city, which we were enabled to view in f the delightful automobile tour provided for the Confer- ence by the Board of Commerce. f We gratefully appreciate the publication s of the painstaking assignments of guests and hosts, the excellent dining service rendered by the ladies at the church, the service of the church choir throughout the Sunday i’ services, the commercial courtesies extended by the banks, the faithful reports printed in the city and state press, the loan of machines and operators by the Ham- I mond Typewriter Co. the loan of adding machines by the Peninsular Milling Co. and the O.

SAMUEL BELL KIMMELL

Samuel Bell Kimmell was born in Somerset County, Ohio, Sep- tember 14th, 1826. His parents moved to Wayne County, Ohio, when he was five years of age. In his early manhood he taught school, and at a later period studied law. In due time he gained admittance to the bar and practised law in his native state and also in Ohio. In 1849, at the age of twenty-three, he was married to Miss Sarah Freeman, the daughter of a Baptist clergyman. He removed to Flushing, Michigan, in 1864. Three years later Rev. J. M. Gordon became his pastor and learned of an inner but unexpressed call to the ministry. He persuaded him to obey the leadings of the Spirit, aban- don the practice of law, and enter the ranks of the ministry. In 1869, at the advanced age of forty-three, he entered the Detroit Conference on trial at its session in Central Church, Detroit, Bishop Scott presiding. Revs. David Casler, W. E. Dunning, A. B. Wood and P. J. Wright were his classmates. He was ordained deacon at Monroe in 1871 by Bishop Simpson, and elder by Bishop Wiley at Ypsilanti in 1873. He served acceptably the following charges: South Saginaw and Zilwaukee, two years; Tawas, one year; Howell, three years; Holly, one year; Sharon, two years; Fairfield, one year. A disease of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 409 throat, aggravated by continuous and excessive use of that organ, prevented his continuance in the active work and compelled his re- moval to a more salubrious climate. In 1879 he became a supernumerary and took up his residence at Flushing, Michigan. In 1882 he was superannuated, and removed to Minnesota, where he resided for eight years, first at Sauk Center and later at Melrose. In 1890 he removed to Hemet, Riverside County, California, where he spent the major portion of the last twenty years of his life. Hemet is a small town about twenty miles south and ten miles east of San Bernandino, Here his well-trained mind, sterling integrity and Christian gentle- manliness won for him the respect and esteem of the townspeople. He died at his home in Hemet, California, on November 8th, 1910. The funeral service was held on November 10th, 1910, by his pastor, the Rev. Wesley K. Beans. Three children survive: namely, W. E. Kimmell, of Hemet, California; Miss Marion, of Corona, California; and Mrs. I. E. French, of Lapeer, Michigan. Brother Kimmell was energetic and faithful in the discharge of his religious duties and loyal to the best interests of his country. The call to exchange time for eternity came unexpectedly and suddenly, but we believe that his lamp was filled, trimmed and burning, and that we shall meet him at the marriage supper of the Lamb. 1

RODNEY GAGE !l ilij Rodney Gage was born in Hadley, Massachusetts, on the 27th of August, 1821. He was a scion of Puritan stock and received by in- heritance and training the type of life and character fostered among the old families of New England. In 1842, at the age of 21 years, he was consciously and effectively converted to God in a prayer meeting at Warehouse Point, Connecticut. He at once united with the church and became active in its service. He became a leader of class and prayer meetings and won many souls to Christ through his exhorta- tions. His gifts and graces soon led the authorities of the church to license him first as an exhorter and later as a local preacher. For a period of eight years he served as a local preacher and promoted numerous revivals. A sense of personal insufficiency for this work led to his entrance as a student into Wilbraham Academy. Unfortun- ately, acting upon the advice of a Presiding Elder who sought his services, he severed his connection with the Academy at the end of two years to supply a small charge. He served several charges in succession, each one of which was spiritually quickened by his labors. At this juncture an opportunity to enter the Biblical Institute of

REV. DANIEL J. ODELL.

Daniel J. Odell, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Odell, was born

j jjl in Birmingham, Michigan, August 3rd, 1836. At three years of age he removed with his parents to Long Lake, Mich., where he spent his

; ' boyhood days. Here he was married to Miss Mina L. Clark. In 1871 he entered the ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church and con- tinned in the effective relation for a period of twenty-seven years.

|!' His pastorates were Port Austin and Caseville, Watrousville, Iosco, Waterloo, Brighton (two terms). Dearborn, Dansville, Gains, Milan, Farmington, Hartland, Clyde, Highland and Millington. After retiring from the active work, he engaged in business, first at Durand, and later at Dundee and Howell. Eight years ago he took up his residence at Fenton and his home remained there until ii. ir the time of his death. During the latter years of his life a mental derangement made him a special care for his friends. His last hours were a fitting climax to his Christian life. As the

moment j,of transition approached he assured his pastor that he was resigned and prepared and that he was trusting fully in Christ his I Savior. His daughter, Mrs. C. B. Steadman, of Orion, his brother»

!: Oren Odell, of Long Lake, and other friends were with him at the time of his death, which occurred at nine o’clock on Tuesday evening. .

i; August 29th. The funeral services were held on Friday, September

f 1st, and were in charge of the Rev. C. M. Thompson, his pastor Several members of the Conference were present and participated in the services. Brother Odell is survived by his wife, who has proved throughout the years a faithful, devoted and eflBcient helpmeet; also by a daughter, Mrs. C. B. Steadman, of Orion; a brother, Oren Odell, of Long Lake; and two sisters, Mrs. Henry Clark, of Pontiac, and Mrs. C. W. Barnum, of Hadley. The intimates of Brother Odell speak of him as a man among I men. His was a virile ministry. He was evangelical in his faith I and labored with the tools that made the work of the fathers efiective. i He brought to every task a spirit of energy and continuity that every- *‘ where insures accomplishment. The field in which he excelled was that of revivals and soul winning. Many will rise up and call him f blessed in another world because of his agency in their salvation. He was ever loyal to the church of his choice and frequented its courts I I regularly after he entered the superannuated relation. The ministry k of the church that he served will inscribe his name upon the roll of f “Our Promoted Fellow Workers,” and will perpetuate his memory in

[ the Memorial Service of the Conference.

His ]>astorates were Port Austin and Caseville, AVatrousville, Iosco, Waterloo, Brighton (two terms), Dearborn, Dansville, Gains, Milan, Farmington, llartland, Clyde, Highland and Millington. After retiring from the active work, he engaged in business, tirst at Durand, and later at Dundee and Howell. Eight years ago he took up his residence at Fenton and his home remained there until the time of his death. During the latter years of his life a mental derangement made him a special care for his friends. His last hours were a fitting climax to his Christian life. As the

moment ',of transition approached he assured his pastor that he was resigned and prepared and that he was trusting fully in Christ his Savior. His daughter, Mrs. C. B. Steadman, of Orion, his brother? Oren Odell, of Long Lake, and other friends were wdth him at the time of his death, which occurred at nine o’clock on Tuesday evening.

Several members of the Conference were present and participated in the services. Hrcnher Odell is survived by his wife, who has proved throughout the years a faithful, devoted and efficient helpmeet; also by a daughter, Mrs. C. B. Steadman, of Orion; a brother, Oren Odell, of Long Lake; and two sisters, Mrs. Henry (’lark, of Pontiac, and Mrs. C. W. Barnum, of Had lev. The intimates of Brother Odell speak of him as a man among men. His was a virile ministry. He was evangelical in his faith and labored with the tools that made the work of the fathers etiective. He brought to every task a spirit of energy and continuity that everywhere insures accomplishment. The field in which he excelled was that of revivals and soul winning. Many will rise up and call him blessed in another world because of his agency in their salvation. He was ever loyal to the church of his choice and frequented its courts regularly after he entered the superannuated relation. The ministry of the church that he served will inscribe his name upon the roll of “Our Promoted Fellow Workers,” and will perpetuate his memory in the Memorial Service of the Conference. 414

GEORGE HENRY DOVER George Henry Dover was born in the city of Leeds, England, on October 18th, 1867. At the age of ten years he moved with his parents from his birthplace to London, England. There, at the age of twenty-three, he was converted. Previous to his coming to this country in 1893, he spent four years in Canada. In 1892 he severed his connection with commercial pursuits and entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Several years of faithful service as a local preacher preceded his entrance upon the duties of the pastorate. While associated with the Protestant Episcopal Church he served successfully as pastor at North Branch, Blissfield, Franklin and Saginaw. On the 8th day of June, 1897, he was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Lewis. He was received into membership in the Detroit Conference from the sister denomination and appointed to the Auburn charge. He entered upon his labors with delight to himself and use- fulness and satisfaction to the congregation. A year or more ago he began to experience seasons of weakness. The cause of the weakness was not apparent. During the month of April he submitted to an operation with the expectation of securing permanent relief. He recovered from the operation and attempted to resume his labors. His strength was depleted, however, and he was Methodist Episcopal Church. 416 compelled to relinquish his work. The Auburn church, with kindly solicitude, granted him a vacation. He sought to recover his health at the lakesides of Oakland County, but he had not sufficient strength to reach them. The friends and physicians were generous in their ministries, but they could not prolong his life. After several weeks of suffering he passed away in great triumph. He died at Silverwood on Thursday night, August 8d, 1911. The funeral was held at the Silverwood church on Saturday afternoon, August 5th. Several members of the Conference were present and took part in the services. The interment was in the Silverwood cemetery. Brother Dover leaves a widow and three children. In the death of this servant of our Lord the Conference loses one of its valued members. He was modest, devout and loyal. He performed the obscure parts of his work as faithfully as he did the public tasks. His ministry was symmetrical, the pulpit, pastoral and execu- tive duties being performed with a like conscientiousness. He performed his duties joyously and thus indicated his high appreciation of his calling. His life was patterned after that of the Master, and his people loved him. Because of the singleness of mind with which he served his risen Lord, we feel assured that his rest will be sweet and his reward glorious. 414 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911,

EZRA TINKER I Ezra Tinker was born near Norwich, New York. He was the I fourteenth child in a family of fifteen children. He entered school I at the early age of four and at sixteen was placed in charge of a I school as its teacher. He was the gold-medal graduate of Cazeno- | via Seminary and was graduated A. B. from Colgate University. In |

later years, in just recognition of his superior mental endowments i , and acquirements, several of the leading universities and seminaries ]

conferred added scholastic honors upon him. I After teaching in an academy for three years he entered the min- N istry of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He served charges at Yon-

kers; New York City; Poughkeepsie; Trinity Church, Norwich, Con- 1 Street Church, Portland, Maine; Asbury Church, necticut; Congress { Delaware; Towanda, Pennsylvania; Syracuse, New York; Wilmington, . [ Lyons, New York; Mansfield, Pennsylvania; and the last two years | and a half in the State of Michigan. | Dr. Tinker was a man of large experience, having traveled j

throughout the United States and in various parts of Europe. He I wrote extensively for papers and magazines, and achieved prominence as a writer. He almost invariably spoke extemporaneously, and his pulpit efforts were productions of eloquence and power. His services were in demand at the principal camp-meetings from Maine to Ohio. His first wife, deceased, was Miss Jeannet Wright, of Penn Yann, New York. Four of his children have died. His only remaining son L and child is Berlin W. Tinker, of Waterbury, Connecticut. Dr. Tinker | married the second time Miss Cora A. Damon, of New York City, the only daughter of the Rev. E. N. Damon, of the New York Conference, and a graduate of the Genesee Wesleyan Seminary. She now survives her husband. Dr. Tinker is also survived by a sister, Mrs. McKendree Shaw, of Phoenix, New York, and also by a brother, Jeremiah Tinker, of Clay Center, Kansas. Death found our brother at his post of duty in Marine City. The funeral services were held in the church on Friday, April 21st, 1911, under the direction of the Rev. W. J. Balmer, Superintendent of the Port Huron District. Loving hands decorated the audience room and i

covered the casket with the fioral offerings. The speakers, associates i

of Dr. Tinker in the ministry of the church, paid affectionate tributes *

to the memory, personality and marked ability of the deceased. The ’ casket was borne by brother ministers between ranks of the Marine City G. A. R., who were present in a body to do honor to an old com- rade. The bereaved widow, accompanied by Dr. Tinker’s only remaining son and his wife, left immediately after the funeral for Penn ! Yan, New York, where the remains were interred in the family lot. I In the death of Dr. Tinker the Detroit Conference the and church at ! large loses a valued member.

MRS. T. J. JOSLIN

i- Mrs. T. J. Joslia, whose maiden name was Susan Woolver, was \ born in Allegheny County, in the State of New York, April 3, 1831, and died in Pontiac, Michigan, January 12, 1911. Sister Joslia was raised a Presbyterian, but on becoming the wife of Brother T. J. Joslin, in December 24, 1859, she united with the church of his choice, and together they at once entered the itinerant ranks of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and for more than fifty years, without once a complaint, she shared in the trials and triumphs inci- dent to the sacred work. It is not known that Sister J oslin was ever the cause or the occasion of any sort of church broil or disturbing faction. Her piety was of the mild, undemonstrative type, which burst forth in deeds rather than declamations. She never pained her friends by a wide discrepancy between her profession and the life she lived. Death came to her almost suddenly. Awaking from sleep, she arose, \valked into an ad- joining room, told her husband she believed she was dying, and in thirty minutes was in heaven. The funeral services were conducted from the family home in Pontiac by Dr. E. E. Caster, assisted by several of the ministers of the Conference. Her body rests in the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery, awaiting the resurrection of the just. Five children were born to our brother and sister, three of whom survive the mother’s departure, namely: John H., of Alpena; Mrs. J. L. Heathcock, of Wakefield, and Dr. A. E. Joslin, of Pontiac.

REPORTS OF COMMITTEES

AUDITING COMMITTEE.

Your Committee wish to report that we have audited the accounts of the District Superintendents, pertaining to the Missionary Funds, distributed by them and find them correct. Also the itemized accounts of the Financial Secretary and the Bureau of Transportation, and find them correct. The Committee recommend that the brethren be more prompt in settling claims with the Bureau of Transportation as it will greatly facilitate their work. I). C. Planette. G. F. Tripp. F. A. Blake.

COMxMITTEE ON BENEVOLENCES. The following organizations constitute the benevolences of our Church: Foreign Missions, Plome Missions and Church Extension, Education, Sunday Schools and Freedman’s Aid. The year has been a prosperous one in all departments of the Church. i

HOME MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION. In view of the fact that about one-half of all our churches in this country have been aided by donation or loan or both, this Society demands the prayers and support of the whole Church. Last year "more than 17,500 were appropriated by this Society to the Detroit Confer- ence. The Board asks from the whole Church this year 11,500,000.00.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS. This Committee recommends that the Sunday School Committee shall be one of the standing Committees of the Conference and shall take the place of the present Conference Sunday School Committee, and that there shall be one member from each District. We concur in the resolution adopted by the Michigan Conference, that the Board of Sunday Schools furnish for the State of Michigan, which comprises the Detroit and Michigan Conferences, a State Superintendent of Sun- day Schools in Michigan, under the supervision of the Board of Sun- day Schools. For this work we pledge the hearty support of Michigan Methodism. We give our hearty support to the Bible Society, and recognize the importance of the colporteur work in the newer sections of the country, especially among our foreign population, and commend the tercentenary celebration of the translation of the King .James version where not already done.

Freedman’s aid. It is gratifying to know the increasing growth of the spirit of self- help and self-reliance among the colored people in the South. As a result of the work of the Freedmen’s Aid Society there are four Con- ferences in the South among the colored people who give more to Home and Foreign Missions than they themselves receive. Last year 424 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911, the collections for the Freedmen’s Aid Society from the twenty colored Conferences of our Church, amounted to $28,750.00, or about one dollar in every four compared with what was received from the whole Church. Methodism should be especially grateful that in a little more than a generation she has developed such a constituency among these humble people, who, out of their poverty, are doing so much to help themselves. We call special attention to the plan now on foot amongthe negroes of the South for a fitting celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1913, and to raise a thank- offering as a nucleus for the endowment of the schools of the Freed- men’s Aid Society. We bid them godspeed in this most laudable un- dertaking. The Missionary Societies have received great impetus during the past few years through the Layman's Missionary Movement and the Mission Study classes in the Epworth League and Sunday Schools. John Dystant, Chairman.

REPORT OF THE DETROIT CONFERENCE TRUSTEES. Dear Brethren:—Your Trustees held their annual meeting in Detroit, September 14, 1911. They are pleased to inform you that the business of the Conference during the year has proceeded smoothly, giving little anxiety. As a result the amount which the Conference claimants will receive from the earnings of the funds in our hands will be in advance of that of last year.

Shier, Eugene M. Moore and J. M. Gordon, Trustees for three years. Conference adjourned. S. Reed, Secretary.

DEACONESS BOARD OF NINE.

The Deaconess work under the oversight of this Board is under the patronage of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society, through the agency of the Detroit Deaconess Home and the missions and settlements under its charge. The Deaconess Home, located at 53 Elizabeth Street W., is the center of the work and the home of all the Deaconesses, except those employed at the Tillman Avenue settlement who live in the settlement building at 207 Tillman Avenue. The Tillman Avenue settlement is located in the midst of a dis- tinctively foreign population, almost wholly Roman Catholic. This work requires the services of three Deaconesses, and is largely of a preparatory type among the children of the foreign people. The Fort Street Mission is located at 717 Fort Stn-et West, and the work done is among young people of American type who live in close proximity to railroad yards and under conditions not conducive to moral or religious development. This Mission has the services of two Deaconesses and enjoys the active co-operation of the City Union of Epworth Leagues. During the past year a very substantial addition to the facilities of the Mission has been made by the building of a room for gymnasium purposes at a cost of about $1,500.00, paid for by popular subscription among the Leagues and Churches of the city. Settlements and Missions are indispensable adjuncts of Deaconess work in the city, and those under our charge are doing good service and growing in importance. The Parish work by the Deaconesses, under appointment to Churches, is of large service to the pastors and the demand always exceeds the supply. The rapid growth of Detroit with the consequent increase of travel and the great numbers of people coming to the city, necessitates attention to the needs of the unwary and unsophisticated element at the terminals of our railroads and steamship lines, and w'e have now one Deaconess whose wmrk for the coming year will be at the depots and docks under the designation of “travelers’ aid.” The Deaconesses at work during the past year have been Mrs. Margaret Delight Moors, Misses Alice E. Metcalf, Eate A. Blackburn, Deborah B. Kerfoot, Alice B. Shirey, Mary Marquiss, Bessie Dancey, f

426 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911 ,

Gladys Scribner, Iva Lola Ludwick, Ethel Young and Florence E. Frost. ^liss Frost has lived in the Home and been employed by the Deaconess Department of the Woman’s Home Missionary Society. The licenses of all these have been renewed by the Conference Board and your approval of the renewals is hereby asked. Miss Fitz, a pro- bationer of another Conference, was with us during the year and did good work as kindergarten teacher at Tillman Settlement. Miss Ethel Young will have charge of that work the coming year. Misses Edith Mann, Charlotte Webb and Mary .J. Harrison have come to us from other Conferences and will be numbered with our force during the coming year. Mrs. Elizabeth M. Jay, of F'lint, will enter the work on trial immediately after Conference. Our Deaconess work during the past year has fully sustained its high reputation for devotion and efficiency, and in some respects has probably been the best in the history of the Detroit Home. Mrs. Moors has presided over the Home with her usual ability, and has represented the work in public places to the limit of her time and strength, her calls to public work being always more than she can answer. The finances of the Home are in better condition than for some years past, the deficiency of nearly |500.00 in our last year’s report being supplanted by a cash balance of $118.00 this year. The indebtedness of $2,100.00 upon the property reported last year has been reduced by $800.00, leaving our present obligation to the Real Estate Fund only $1,800.00. The terms of office of Rev. William Dawe, Mrs. J. S. Vernor and Rev. C. W. Baldwin, of this Board, expire at this time, and we recommend the election of Mrs. J. S. Vernor, Rev. E. M. Moore and Rev. F. 8. Rowland to the term of three years each. The members of this Board remaining in office are: For one year—George O. Robinson, Mrs. R. 8. Mason and Mrs. G. H. 8talker. For two years—Rev. E. P. Bennettt, Rev. F. D. Leete and W. 8cott Jones. Respectfully submitted, Chas. W, Baldwin, President.

EDUCATIONAL REPORT.

Methodism seeks to make men personally strong that they may be socially serviceable. To this end education has always been a largely contributing factor. The Board of Education, therefore, is entitled to our heartiest sympathy and co-operation. “The Christian Student” and other publications of the Board are ex- ceedingly valuable. We urge all the people to secure the literature now published by the Board of Education and to make themselves intelligent regarding the great educational work of the Church. In taking collections we urge the pastors to keep in mind these three interests: 1. Children’s Day collection for students’ aid, which should amount to lOje of the Foreign Missionary collection. 2. Public educational collection which should equal at least of the Missionary collection. 3. Conference educational collection which this year should be larger than ever as a token of our expectancy that Albion’s second fifty years of history will far exceed the record of the first. As pastors we Methodist Episcopal Church. 427

should be alert to secure students and to interest men of wealth in the endowment of this splendid institution. We urge all candidates for the ministry to take in addition to a college course, a course in one of our theological schools. Garrett Biblical Institute, Drew Theological Seminary, and Boston School of Theology, are stronger and better than ever before. Three years thus spent will result in an inner enrichment that will more than compen- sate for any sacrifice it may require or any temporary advantage which an earlier entering into Conference relations might seem to offer. We recommend the following brethren to be appointed visitors; Garrett—Dunning Idle, W. R. Fruit. Drew—W. E. Marvin, S. W. Horner. Boston— D. H. Ramsdell, H. G. Pearce. Albion— C. L. Adams, W. H. Rider.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EPWORTH LEAGUE.

The reports of last year show a strength of 14,363 Senior Chapters, with 604,258 members, and 6,253 Junior Chapters, with 235,066 members, a total of 20,616 Chapters, and 839,324 members. The gain in the entire Church has been 154 Chapters and 5,636 members. The advance in Bible study last year was (50^. During the year two new secretaries were elected for foreign fields. We heartily commend the institutes held for the practical training of our young people in Christian service and for their invaluable in- spiration to higher ideals and more earnest service. We urge our pastors to give their hearty co-operation to the leaders of the Epworth League and to the young people in their own Chapters, belieying that there is no one else capable of leading the young Methodism to that high achievement which the Church expects of them. 'We also call the attention of the pastors to newer methods of training as employed in the institutes and invite them to use theirinfiuence to introduce and maintain such work in the District Conventions. We recommend the hearty co-operation with the Central Oflice in all its efforts to develop the young people’s work. We recommend the appointment of a committee of three members of this Conference as a committee on Epworth League. The State officers are: President, Rev. D. H. Glass, Pontiac; Vice President for the Detroit Conference, Rev. H. A. Field, Detroit; and for the Michigan Conference, Rev. Hugh Kennedy, Big Rapids; and Secretary, Rev. W. F. Kendrick, of Traverse City. Respectfully submitted, D. H. Glass, H. A. Field, Com, 428 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911,

THE STANDING COMMITTEE ON THE MICHIGAN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE

Since new evidence has been presented to this Conference of the careful management of our Advocate in its endeavor to secure the largest savings for the superannuated claimants of our Conference, it well becomes us to respond to this spirit of sacrifice manifested in the official staff by intensilying our devotion to securing for the Advocate a larger circulation. This paper has always been published within the bounds of our territory and a majority of its Board of Directors chosen from our number, and we cannot afford to be behind our sister Conference, in extending the circulation of this the greatest medium for the promo- tion of intelligent Michigan Methodism. Therefore be it resolved 1. That in accord with the action of the Michigan Conference Committee we set apart Sunday, October 15, to be observed in all our Churches as “Advocate Day.” 2. That we request the management of the Advocate to make a special inducement rate for that date, of three months for twenty-five cents, and to all such trial subscribers the paper for 1912 for $1.25. That the Detroit Conference be thoroughly circularized herald- ing this day and special offer to the end that we may lift the number of subscribers within the bounds of the Detroit Conference to ten thousand. Signed by your Standing Committee, G. A. Fee. A. B. Leonard. Howard A. Field. D. H. Ramsdell. Eugene Moore.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON MORAL REFORM.

Organized religion, as represented by the Church, exists to place the spirit and teaching of Jesus Christ in all the forms of the life of this w'orld. As Christian ministers we cannot be idle spectators of the ceaseless war between the good and the bad. Among the institutions w'hich ever retard the progress of the good is the legalized saloon. The Methodist preacher arrives at his field of labor as the avowed enemy of the saloon and the ally of all who are fighting its sway. We find in the Anti-Saloon League, the Prohibition Party and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union organizations worthy of our present support. Our social system demands intelligent and sympathetic study. As representatives of organized religion we pledge ourselves to seek for every man a square deal, in his home life, in the chance to rear his 430 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911, children without the curse of child labor, with a day of rest, and recommend that our preachers as much as possible open and sustain fra- ternal relations with organized labor and employers’ associations. The Sabbath, being the true bulwark of liberty and the safeguard of spiritual strength, we reiterate our call to a more conscientious Sab- bath observance, both among our people and our ministers. We deplore the prevalence of divorce in Michigan and urge that teachers and preachers exalt the sacredness of the marriage bond in the mind of our youth, and call especial attention to that part of the discipline forbidding the marriage of divorced persons, except the in- nocent party in a divorce on the ground of adultery.

OLD PEOPLE’S HOME.

Dear Brethren:—One year ago the Home had 23 resident mem hers. There have been no deaths during the year. Five members have been added to the family, viz.: Rebecca Ard, of Marlette; Eliza- beth McArthur and Ellen R. Galbraith, of Ypsilanti;CharlotteStraight, of Wayne, and Jane Parker, of Onsted, making the membership at this date, twenty-eight. Mary Smedley is in the home at present, a probable candidate for resident membership. With the increase of our members comes a corresponding increase of obligation upon the Board. This is not a local nor a sectional en- terprise, but it belongs to the entire Conference. 8o a collection in support of the Home may rightly be regarded as a Conference collection. The Home can care for about thirty-five persons. To meet the normal needs of the Conference we should have accommodations for sixty, as it has been ascertained that about one person in a thousand of our membership need the comforts of such a place. The Treasurer’s report for this Conference year show ihe following items of receipts, viz.:

Transferred from Admission Fund |1,314.00 Income from Invested Funds 1,652.80 Board and Visitors at the Home 64.50 Conference Collections (from 94 charges) 663.18 Sale of stock and poultry at the Home 47.32

Total 13,741.80

This does not include receipts from other charges of the Confer- ence, received after the close of the fiscal year of the Board of the Trustees of the Home. The following items of the Current Expense account of the Home may be of interest: Medical attendance at the Home ^97.70 One patient in Hospital at Ann Arbor 42.70 One patient at Pontiac Asylum 73.22 Nurse in Home 25.00

Total $238.42 ADMINISTRATION EXPENSE. Salary of Treasurer $100.00 Treasurer’s traveling and postal expenses 25.30 Secretary’s traveling and postal expenses 7.20 Expense of Financial Committee 16.05 R. R. fare of members of Board 23.05

Total $171.60 432 Detroit Annual Conference, 1911

Salaries of employees at the Home |1,509.61 Current Supplies 1,919.38 Monument and one marker on cemetery lot 103.25 Coal supply for about 134 yc^^rs 635.58

Total $4,657.84

We know of no institution of this kind where the current expense is so low per member as at this. We are glad to announce that through the persistent and well directed efforts of Dr. Jacklin, the Endowment Fund now amounts to some over $22,000. An excellent laundry plant which was most urgently needed, has been installed in the basement at an expense of about $350. Work is in progress to increase the soft water supply by the construction of a cistern that will hold about 300 barrels. This was found to be an absolute necessity. The collections from the churches of the Conference for last year were very gratifying. The work at the Home has so increased that it has become im- perative to employ an assistant to the Superintendent the year round. The Board has taken steps toward the erection of a cottage on the grounds near the Home for the occupancy of such a person and his family. This Board of the Conference has a sacred trust and an onerous work. The busy men on this Board never allow the interests of the Home to suffer, if any effort on their part or time spent in its interest, can prevent. The term of oflBce of the following members of the Board of Trustees expires at this session of the Conference, viz.: John Sweet, W. W. Washburn, J. E. Beal, E. M. Moore, J. L. Hudson and W. Scott Jones. The Board recommends their re-election for a term of three years. The other members are for the unexpired term of one year, J. E. Jacklin, H. T. Dennis, D. H. Glass, B. D. York, C. W. Baldwin and C. B. Allen. For two years.—Seth Reed, E. P. Bennett, E. E. Caster, J. E. Mason, G. W. Olds, W.S. Campbell. Respectfully submitted, W. W. Washburn, President Board of Trustees.

THE SUPERANNUATED PREACHERS’ AID SOCIETY ORGANIZATION. This Society was organized December 20, 1861, for a term of thirty years; it was reorganized December 20, 1891, for a further term of thirty years. REASONS. The reasons for such an organization are substantially as follows: The duties of a Methodist Minister demand the whole of his time and cut him off from opportunities of accumulating money and property. He is ordinarily inadequately remunerated for his labors, and when accident, sickness or old age compels his retirement he is usually without means of support. By the course of his training and the absorb- ing nature of his life work he has been unfitted for easy adjustment to secular affairs. The Church having had the benefit of his best energies, should provide the pecuniary relief which the situation demands. —

Methodist Episcopal Church. • 433

AIM.

This Society is authorized to raise an Endowment Fund, not to exceed $100,000, by means of membership fees, contributions, dona- tions, bequests aud otherwise, for affording such relief. The fund thus created is to be invested in interest bearing securi- ties. Not one cent can be otherwise disposed of.

BENEFICIARIES. The interest earned by the investments of the Endowment Fund is annually distributed among the following classes of claimants: First—The members of the Detroit Annual Ccr.ference who are on the superannuate roll. Second—The widows of deceased members of the Detroit Annual Conference, who were married to their deceased husbands prior to superannuation. Third The minor children of the first and second classes of claimants, who are under the age of sixteen.

benefits.

The distribution of the interest earnings of the investments is governed as follows: As a basis each superannuated preacher, if married, has a claim of $200; if single, a claim of $100; each preacher’s widow, provided she was married to her deceased husband prior to his superannuation, a claim of $100; each minor child, under 16 years of age, whose father or mother is a claimant, a claim of $25. However, in each case, the preacher, on account of whose services the claim rests, must have traveled and preached in connection with an annual Confereuce for at least six years prior to his superannuation or decease, and if the superannuated or decased preacher shall have traveled and preached in connection with an annual Conference more than six years there is added to such fixed basis of claims 2 % % for each year of effective service additional to the six years. These claims are paid as far as the funds in hand for that purpose will avail. CONDITIONS.

It is required that each preacher, on whose account claims are made, shall have paid into the Endowment Fund, not later than the end of the sixth year of his connection with an annual Conference, or at the time of his transfer to this Conference, the sum of $50; and if such sum of $50 has not been paid at the time of his decease or superannuation, then it is charged to his account, with interest thereon at the rate of 7% per annum from the time he should have paid it, and is a first lien on the dividends otherwise due to himself, his wife, his widow, or his minor children. EXHORTATION. To what better purpose can the lovers of our Methodism devote their wealth than in permanently providing that the men who minister to the spiritual needs of the Church shall not lack needed temporal comforts in their years of decline and disability. Let every Methodist layman, whom the Lord has entrusted with the stewardship of wealth, aid us to reach the $100,000 mark as soon as possible. If you have money or property which you are willing to give to this Society and yet need the income therefrom during your own life- time, we will gladly arrange to pay you an annuity, and such annuity will be as secure to you as from any investment you can possibly make. 434 Detroit Annual Conference, 19H

When you make your will do not forget the name of this Society; ])iit it in just as it is printed at the head of this article. But it will be a wise thing to be your own executor and to help us while you live, so that you may enjoy the sunshine your benevolence brings to the home of the superannuated preacher. Remember that what goes into our Endowment Fund will goon earning dividends for the needy servants of God and the Church long after you have passed over to the laud where is neither hunger nor thirst. Write to the Secretary for information if you need any, and inform him of your benevolent intentions for this worthy cause. John Sweet, Secretary, 1017 Fourth Ave., Detroit, Mich.

~~When weary and languid, when the energies flag and you are completely exhausted and worn out,~~

~~there is nothing so refreshing and invigorating as Horsford’s Acid Phosphate (NON-ALCOHOLIC) "~~

Its revivifying effect will throw off the depres- sion that accompanies exhaustion and nervousness; strengthen and clear the brain that has become tired and confused by overwork and worry, and im- part new life and vigor to the entire system.

~~An Ideal Remedy in Nervous Disorders~~

~~If your druggist can't supply you, send 25 cents to Kumpord Chemical Works, Providence, R. I., for trial size bottle, postage paid.~~

~~Will You Believe It? The greatest cause of disease is POISONOUS GERM ACTIVITY. (Baccili)~~

~~Such germs cannot live in Tiger Oil, therefore Tiger Oil is a germicide and cures more than fifty diseases.~~

Do not take it clear internally, but in at least 20 times as much water, or sweetened water. It should be applied clear externally, rubbing thoroughly over all pain or disease until better. The dose differs according to age and disease. The common dose for an infant adult dose is a teaspoonful, but in such Is % B. drop to 1 drop. An diseases as Dyspepsia, Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Diseases, nervousness, etc., ^ a teaspoonful in a tumblerful of boiled water half an hour before each meal. In La Grippe, Neuralgia, Colds, Inflamma- tions, Erysipelas, Diarrhcea, Catarrh, Sore Throat, and such diseases, one teaspoonful every hour. In Croup*, Pain, Colic, Cholera Morbus, Cholera Infantum, a common dose every 15 to 30 minutes. But in such diseases as Cholera, Yellow Fever, Sunstroke, Fits, Delirium Tremens, Paralysis, Cerebro Spinal Meningitis, from 1 to 2 common doses every 10 to 15 minutes, with continual rubbing with Tiger Oil over head, back and seat of disease. Give to stock from 10 to 20 times more at a dose than to man. Testimonials sent on application, but to use Tiger Oil is the best proof of its merits.

~~Ask your druggist for' it, or send 50 cents to DR. JOHN LEESON, of Cadillac, Michigan and get a 50-cent bottle by mail. CHURCH INSURANCE~~
