ON BIBLE CAUSE.

Recognizing the Divine origin of the Bible, its truth, its power for good, its utility in the salvation of men, and bearing in mind the great and lasting benefits growing out of its circu lation, we regard the work of its furtherance no inconsiderable privilege. Facts gathered from our agents show that there has been a constant growth in all the interests of the Bible Cause; the field is widening, responsibilities increasing, and the demands are being met. The committee submit the following resolutions : 1. That the Kentucky Annual Conference will heartily co operate with the American Bible Society in the prosecution of its noble work. 2. That duringthe ensuing year we will insist upon enlarged efforts to promote the Bible Cause, by directing and assisting our aiients to raise a centennial fund for this purpose. 3. That the Bishops be requested to re-appoint Rev. Geo. S. Savage as agent of the American Bible Society within the bounds of the Kentucky Conference. G. C. Overstreet, Chairman.

B.

ON SUNDAY -SCHOOLS.

From the Conference Minutes we gather a few figures well calculated to encourage the hearts and stiniulate the labors of our Sunday-school people. Going back to 1866, our first full report after the war showed our strength to be 4,769. Eight years' work gave us, in 1874, 9,602; a total increase of 4,833. I^he average increase, per an num during this period was 604 scholars. 14 APPENDIX.

In 1866 we counted in our bounds only 69 Sunday-schools. Last year we numbered 184. In eight years we have founded 115 new schools�the average being 14| for every year. But last year the new schools were 32, more than double tlie usual reported gain. We are gratified to state, from this examination of sources which can not mislead, that we have the best reason to rejoice in the manifest success of our efforts to gatlier and "feed the lambs" of Jesus. An increase of 604 scholars for every year in eight past, and the creation of 115 new schools in the same time, is surely a cause for devout thanksgiving. We have reason to believe too that our Sunday-schools are becoming more perfect in organization, more systematic in benevolence, more scriptural in character, and as a consequence more useful as a means of grace. The pastoral practice of preaching to children is annuall}^ becoming more common and beneficial. We earnestly urge this mode of instruction upon every preacher in charge. In view therefore of our scriptural responsibilities in the premises, of our eminently plain and solemn vows of ordina tion concerning the religious care of childhood, of the large profit upon our past investment of toil and prayer, and of the still more bountiful harvests that must yet be reaped in this noble field of church -work, we are hereby Resolved, to be more abundant in labors, more unceasing in in to the conver prayer, and more persistent purpose promote sion and edification of our children and youth by means of the Sunday-schools; beseeching and believing that God will con tinue to bless the work. Resolved, that we are satisfied with our own Sunday-school literature; and, believing it to be the best in the land for our its use in all our purpose, recommend most earnestly schools, especially as the cheapness of its requisites and their suitability to our needs will enable the smaller and weaker schools to do most successful and thorough work without expensive outfits. Resolved, that as preachers and people we will not forget No. 1. resolution j^^^^ Deering, Chairman.

C.

ON BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

It is impossible to overestimate the importance and value to interests of the Church. The of our Publishing-house the amount of good that has already been accomplished hy this agency is incalculable. APPENDIX. 15

Much of the benefit resulting from the labors of the pulpit has been confirmed and rendered permanent b}^ the circulation of our standard and periodical religious literature. Indeed it has been found an almost indispensable adjunct to ministerial effort. These facts admitted it follows that these interests are so intimately connected, that the one can scarcely attain its highest efiScienc}^ without the other; therefore. Resolved, that we hereby express our hearty approval of the management of our Publishing-house, and our unabated confi dence in the ability and efficiency of its agent, Dr. A. H. Redford. Resolved, that the Christian Advocate, under the control of its learned and able editor. Dr. Thomas O. Summers, deserves our earnest support, and we hereby pledge ourselves to renewed efforts to extend its circulation. Resolved, that while we regret the resignation of Dr. Hay- good, and fully recognize his valuable services, we assure his successor. Dr. W. G. E. Cunningham, of our sincere gratifica tion at his appointment, and will cordially co-operate with him in the circulation of our own Sunday-school literature. Resolved, that we regard the Central Methodist and the Southern Review as worthy of our patronage, and, after the Christian Advocate, we commend them to the favorable consid eration of our people. Charles Taylor, Chairman.

His health had been feeble for some time previous, and on the Sabbath pre ceding, about the hour of two o'clock p. m., he had a stroke of paralysis, which was the second that had occurred to him during the last two years, and from the moment of the attack until death he remained entirely unconscious. He was born January 11, 1798, in what was then called Jefferson (now Marion) County, Kentuckj^, and in the same neighborhood of his death. He was a descendant of one of those hardy pioneers, who in 1776, while Kentucky was yet a territory of Virginia, settled on Pleasant Run, and established "Sandusky Station." Brother Sandusky was twice married. His first wife was a Miss Esther Thoma-i, to whom he was married February 17, 1820. His second wife was Miss L. A. Barber, to whom he was 16 APPENDIX. married August 8, 1858, and who survives him. The former Mrs. Sandusky died July 23, 1857. Brother Sandusky was a man of marked character, and calculated to be a useful and effective citizen in any position he might be placed in. Brave and unselfish, generous and just, he had the love and confidence of all who knew him. Though possessed of limited education, he was endowed with superior intellect, and by study and application had made himself master of the system of theology of the church to which he belonged, and was a lyiost thorou,gh believer in its doctrines and usages. His style of preaching was clear and forcible, and his manner warm and zealous. He was greatly gifted in prayer. His con nection with the ministry extended over a period of nearly, if not quite, fifty years, either as a local or traveling preacher, and embraced a time of most arduous labor and self-sacrifice to meet the duties of the position. But no one in the Church's history met his duties more cheerfully or discharged them more cheer fully than he.

MEMOIR OF REV. WM. BICKERS.

Eev. Wm. Bickers was boi'n in Scott County, Kentucky, November 5, 1821. He joined the church when a small boy; professed religion in 184U; was licensed to preach and admitted on trial in the Kentucky Conference at Bowling Green in 1844, and appointed to Lebanon, and in 1845 to Louisa. In 1846 he was ordained deacon, and appointed to Piketon, and in 1847 to Piketon and Prestonsburg. In 1848 he was ordained elder, and sent to Lockport, and in 1849 to Point Pleasant, West Virginia, from which he was removed by his presiding elder, the follow ing spring, to suppl}^ the Glennville Circuit. At this time the Western Virginia Conference was organized, and he became a member, in the bounds of which he continued his labors until it was broken up by the war in 1861. He was married to Miss Lizzie J. Kirby, of Parkersburg, Virginia, September 9, 1850, who shared with him the labors and sacrifices of the itineranc}'^ until called to the Church triumphant. From 1850 to 1861 he served the following charges: Brox- ford Circuit, Little Kanawha, Clarksburg District (four years), and Charleston Circuit. Here he had a gracious revival, during which one hundred and fifty were added to the church. He was re-appointed to the same charge in 1861, but in common with his brethren he was driven from his post by the military early in the fall, and returned to Kentucky. He was trans ferred to the Kentucky Conference in 1862, and appointed to the Shelby Circuit; but before entering upon his work was changed, by Bishop Kavanaugh, to Carlisle. In 1863 and 1864 he was appointed to Perryville, in 1865 to Oxford, and 1866 APPENDIX. 17

to Jessamine. In 1867, 1868, and 1869 was stationed at Sharps burg and Bethel, and in 1870 at Carlisle. This year his health failed, and in 1871 he was superannuated. Brother Bickers was a conscientious Christian, a faithful minister of the Gospel, a true friend, and a devoted husband and father. He died of consumption February 22, 1875, with his hopes firmly anchored within the vail. He was calm and resigned. He said "he had nothing to regret in the past�he had tried to do all things for the best." A short time before his death his wife asked him if the future was clear to him ; to which he calmly replied, "It is far better to depart and be with the Lord." His funeral was preached by Dr. Taylor in Dan ville, and his remains deposited in the cemetery at that place, by his own request, quietly to await the resui'rection morn. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his death. May they ever be animated by the noble example he left them, and their like be end, his, peace. ^ j Snively.

MEMOIR OP REV. ISAAC COLLARD.

Eev. Isaac Collard was born in the city of New York, June 25, 1794, and died on Monday morning, March 8, 1875, at ten o'clock, in the city of Cincinnati, aged eighty-one years and eight months. On the 15th day of August, 1810, he united with the Meth

� odist Church�the old John-street Methodist Church in the city of New York, and was baptized by Joseph Pilmoor, one of the first Methodist missionaries sent by Mr. Wesley to America in 1769. He came to Cincinnati, then a small town, in 1811, with his father, Thomas B. C. Collard. He immediately united with the "Old Stone Church," afterward "Wesley Chapel." In 1816, Eliza Smead. on the 29th of February, he was married to Miss Hand in hand, through many and sore afflictions, they walked together until 1862, when this bosom friend, in a forty-six years' pilgrimage, crossed the river, and received the crown. In July, 1818, he was licensed to preach the gospel by the Quarterly Conference of the Old Stone Church, Joseph Crume being presiding elder, and Alexander Cummings pastor. Here began a life of self-sacrifice, zeal, and achievement that chal lenges our admiration, and invites us to the highest plane of Christian devotion. In 1819 he joined the Ohio Conference at Cincinnati, and was appointed to what was then known as the "Limestone Circuit," in the state of Kentucky; in 1820, to Little Sandy ; 1821, to the Big Kanawha ; 1822, to the Jefferson ; 1823 and 1824, to Salt River; 1825, to Mt. Sterling; 1826 and 1827, stationed at Newport; 1828 and 1829, at Cynthiana; 1831 and 1832, to the Jefferson Circuit; 1833 to 1836, presiding elder 2 18 APPENDIX. on the Hopkinsville District; 1837, to the Logan Circuit; 1838 to 1841, presiding elder on the Augusta District; 1842, to the Minerva Circuit; 1843 and 1844, stationed at Carrollton; 1845 and 1846, on the Shelby Circuit; and in 1847 and 1848, on the Bloomfield. At the Conference of 1848, after twenty nine years of itin erant life, he was placed upon the superannuated list, where he remained until his death. The last two years of his life were j'ears of great bodily feebleness and suffering, so much so that he seldom enjoyed even the privilege of worshiping in the church. It is scarcely necessary to add that the end of such a man was peace. He died as he lived, at his post. His mental faculties were obscured during the last hours of his life; but he had given his testimony in a long and faithful service, and it M^as not necessary to supple ment it in his dying hour. In August I visited him, and had a direct conversation with him touching his hope in Christ. I found his faith in the Eedeemer simple and sublime in its immovableness. His peace flowed as a river. He spoke of his near departure with the cheerfulness of the traveler who approaches his long-wished-for home. He sent man}' messages of affection to his brethren of the Kentucky Conference. Long ere this he has passed through the gates into the city, "washed in the blood of the Lamb." Long ere this he has grasped the hand of the faithful men who toiled with him in the wilderness of Kentucky and Virginia, " and with them has joined in the song of Moses and the Lamb." Farewell, noble man of God, until we greet you beyond the river! Brother Collard was endowed with a vigorous intellect, which he cultivated by an extensive and judicious reading. Even down to within the last few months of his death his mind was remark ably clear and his memory unusually vigorous. Modest and retiring in his nature, to the casual observer he might seem inca pable of high and bold enterprise ; yet when the occasion came to act he had the courage and daring of a hero. He was emi nently genial and companionable in his temperament, always in his social intercourse avoiding a trifling levity on the one hand and a repelling austerity on the other. His faithful and noble life is belore us; let us embalm it in our hearts and engraft which sustained it upon our practice, and may the grace of God, him in his long and arduous career, be our support even unto ^^^^^ ' C. W. Miller.

MEMOIR OP REV. V. C. CUMMINS.

Rev. V. C. Cummins was born in Pendleton County, Ken of Methodist and tucky, , 1848, parents, professed religion and united with the church in 1863. He was edu- APPENDIX. 19 cated at the Kentucky Wesleyan University, and was received into the Kentucky Conference on trial September, 1873, at its session in Harrodsburg, and was appointed to Mt. Pleasant Station, where by his earnest labors and high social qualities he soon won the hearts of all who knew him. In 1873 he was appointed to Milton Circuit, and in JSToveraber of that year he was united in marriage to Miss Kate Collier, of his former charge. In 1874 he was ordained deacon at Mt. Sterling, and re-appointed to Milton Circuit, where he continued his labors with great success until he was stricken down with typhoid fever, which ended his life July 20, 1875. Brother Cummins gave in his death, as in his life, the strong est proof of the power of the Gospel to save. His remains lie entombed in the Newport Cemetery to await the resurrection morn. A short time befone he died he recovered possession of his mind, called his young and sorrowing wife to his bed-side, and delivered to her his last charge ; pointing her to Jesus as the widow's friend and the orphan's father, and in one of the sweet est, most touching, and faith-inspiring prayers commended her and the little child to the protection and care of Him who said, "I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee;" then turning to Brother Eowland, who was watching by him, exclaimed, "O Will! I 'ra saved, I 'm saved ! I know it! I see my name written in heaven." And in full possession of a blissful immortality he fell sweetly asleep. j Snively, Chairman.

E.

ON EDUCATION.

The time has passed when the church can satisfy her con science by resolving that education is a good thing, and that our people must be educated. They will be educated, they are being educated, and the church can neither prevent nor to any great extent impede it. The only question for us to determine is at whose hands shall this education be received. Shall it come through secular effort, and result in scientific infidelity; shall it be obtained through the agency of other religious de nominations, and result in the loss of many of our children from our communion ; or shall it come through our own insti tutions, and thus make our church the recipient of its blessings? The issue is upon us. Schools unsanctified by religious in fluence are opening their halls and inviting our sons and daughters. Other religious denominations are establishing and fostering institutions of learning in our midst and inviting the patronage of our people, and Methodism will be left like a 20 APPENDIX. mother bereft of her children if she fails to advance to the front in this great work and to maintain her position in this contest, and educate for herself and for God. Furthermore, while freely acknowledging that many of our best and most successful ministers in winning souls to Christ had not the advantages of early and thorough training, we for may not disguise the fact that the demand is imperative ministerial training to qualify them to minister to an educated people. While institutions of learning not controlled by the influences of the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ are send ing out their Tyndalls and Huxleys and Darwins to pollute the fountains of"learning and lead the people from our holy Christianity, the church must send out ministers equipped in all the learning of the schools to meet and vanquish these enemies of God and mah in their chosen fields of intellectual conflict. Such being the demands upon us, your committee can but congratulate the church that it possesses in the Kentucky Wesleyan College an institution adequate to its wants in these respects. Here, under the instruction of such scholars and Christian gentlemen as Dodd and Darby, Jordan and Batson, with all not only may an education be obtained commensurate the demands of the present day, but education itself will be wrested from the hands of unbelief and be made to pour its richest treasures into the lap of religion. Therefore, Resolved, 1. That we pledge ourselves to a more thorough discharge of our duty in keeping this institution belore our people, and in urging them to send to it their sons and to bestow upon it their means. 2. That we regard the election of Dr. T. J. Dodd to its presi dency as one of the most propitious events in its history, and ask the presiding Bishop to confirm his election by appointing him to that position. 3. That while there are many excellent schools for young men throughout the state, in which able and influential mem bers of our church are employed, and which are consequently more or less under Methodist influence, yet as the Kentucky Wesleyan College is the only one under the control of the Conference, we ask the Bishop to appoint a visiting committee only to it. 4. That we regard the subject of female education as of equal interest and importance with the education of our sons. 5. Inasmuch as we are unable at present to assume the finan cial responsibility of an institution for the education of young ladies, we accept the offer made by Bros. Gould and Abbett, so far as to receive their school under our fostering care. 6. That we request the Bishop to appoint the Board of Council provided lor in the charter of that institution, thereby bringing it more largely under the influence and control of the Conference. APPENDIX. 21

7. That while we make honorable mention of other success ful female schools within our bounds, in which worthy members of our church hold responsible positions, yet in view of the new relation existing between the Millersburg Female College and our Conference we request the Bishop to appoint a visiting committee to it. 8. Gratified by the favorable and well-prepared report of the committee appointed at the last session of our Conference to visit this school, and satisfied with the management and success of it since it has been under the control of Revs. Gould and Abbett, we request the Bishop to appoint them principals of said school. 9. That we request the Bishop to appoint Rev. M. D. Rey nolds agent of the Millersburg Female College. R Hiner, Chairman.

F.

ON TEMPERANCE.

The committee to whom was referred the subject of temper ance present the following report: History informs us that a celebrated Roman general once asked for 160,000 human skulls with which to build a pyramid to his memory. But if all the human skulls of the dead slain by the evils of dissipation were collected to-day and piled in one monumental pyramid, it would reach far up toward the heavens. In view therefore of the widespread evils of the demoralizing traffic of intoxicating liquors, 1. Resolved, that our people be requested to enforce our rules in the discipline upon the subject of dram-drinking. 2. Resolve I, that all of our preachers be requested to preach at least one sermon upon the subject of the evils of intemperance. 3. Resolved, that we hail with profound pleasure the tidings of the success of the temperance cause everywhere in the land. J. A. Henderson, Chairman.

G.

board of missions.

The Board of Missions submit the following report to the Conference : 1. We earnestly recommend to pastors and superintendents of Sabbath-schools the organization of missionary societies in constitution which shall be all our schools, according to the submitted to them by the secretary of this board. 22 APPENDIX.

2. That the amounts coutributed by Sabbath-schools for mis sionary purposes be reported by the preachers and placed in a separate column by the missionary treasurer in his report. 3. That the ladies in every church in this Conference be requested to form a "Female Missionary Society," according to the constitution which shall be furnished by the secretary of the board, and that the preachers bring this resolution before their people and insist upon it being enforced.
