AUDITOR'S REPORT. We have examined the accounts and vouchers of the District Superin­ tendents and found them to be correct. J. F. HOPKINS, L. R. GODBEY, AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. The American Bible Society is at work in five continents, in the islands of seven seas, in over one hundred and fifty languages, and in twelve kinds of Scrrptures for the blind. Through nine home agencies and eleven foreign agencies. By nine main printing centers located in various parts of the world. It has 1,614 colporteurs and correspondents-621 at home and 993 abroad. It issued in 1918, 6,040,707 volumes-4,480,058 at home and 1,560,- 649 abroad. Its total issue in 103 years, 134,151,630 volumes. It solicits contributions for its world-wide work. It is very anxious to have the last Sabbath in November (November 30) made universal Bible Sunday. G. N. JOLLY, EDWARD P. HALL, W. C. STEWART. EDUCATION. From the days of Wesley until now Methodism has always stood for a warm heart, a clear head, and a cultured soul. Our recent educational cam­ paign for our schools, colleges, and universities increased our funds $35,000,000. So this glorious victory for the education of our young people ought to thrill with abounding joy the great heart of our great church. Union College, under the masterful leadership of President Franklin, is fast becoming a modern college. The buildings have been improved, a new gymnasium is being built, nineteen acres of land have been added to the campus. The finest student body in the history of the school has recently entered its classrooms. A financial segetary has been elected and a five hun­ dred thousand dollar campaign for buildings and endowment ought to be inaugurated at the earliest possible minute. This institution is predestined to become one of the great colleges of America. At Olive Hill, the Woman's Home ,Missionary Society has a valuable school for girls. Including all departments, the enrollment of students exceeds one hundred and seventy-five. This school is the hope of hundreds of our young girls. For one dollar per month from the student a girl can obtain room, board, tuition, and the development of her soul along the finest lines of refinement and culture. Asbury College, at Wilmore, Ken­ tucky, is doing splendid work for the church, both in home and foreign fields. Many of the most successful workers in the kingdom have received their training at Asbury College. Our pastors and people have generously sup­ ported our educational institutions. Union College extends its strongest appreciation to the Kentucky Con­ ference for its Centenary offering, and to the Barbourville people for their contributions to the building fund. We heartily approve the plan to dedi- 249 Kentucky Conference [1919 cate the new gymnasium to our heroic boys, who lived to honor our country, or who died on the sea or sleep among the millions dead on the sacred fields of France. We recommend the adoption of the plan to raise a minimum of fifteen dollars each from each charge for every man who wore the khaki in the service of our country in the World War. Our ministry and laity again pledge our sincerest loyalty and strongest cooperation to our schools in Kentucky. F. H. LARABEE, E. T. FRANKLIN, T. HOWARD JONES, J. A. BRETZ.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS. We call the interest of the ministers and members of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the importance of the Sunday-school work. 1. In that the Sunday school is the place where first our children learn the teachings of the Bible. 2. Because it is there they get an idea what the church is and what it is doing. . 3. That there, in a good many instances, are formed the first principles of the Christian life. 4. It is an essential means of converting the world, and the only way it can be maintained. . 5. It has been demonstrated that about eighty-five per cent of the church comes from the Sunday school; hence we as pastors should look to every interest of the Sunday school. Respectfully submitted, J. C. LANDRUM, WM. JONES, G. V. TODD A. W. INSKO.

HOME MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION. The Committee on Home Missions and Church Extension desire to rec­ ognize and endorse the good work of this dual board. The appropriations have been well spent. Individuals and communities have been encouraged and helped. More funds could be used and we hope an advance over past appropriations will be made. J. G. DOVER, H. E. TRENT.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. We, the Committee on Sabbath Observance, find it necessary to urge upon the people the necessity of observing the Sabbath as a day of rest. Set apart by God as a day of rest and worship, and that God will not hold guiltless those who profane it either by doing ordinary work therein, or by buying and selling therein, or by unnecessary recreation, such as attending Sunday baseball games, joy-riding in automobiles, excursion trains, and many other ways in which they desecrate this holy day. We think that professed Christians set a very bad example to others, as well as bringing sin to their own souls, and all the excuses they make about the matter are as worthless as those made by those invited to the marriage feast. God in­ tended us to work, buy, sell, and take recreation, but he intended we should do those things through the week, and we cannot violate his commands and retain our religious standing either in the eyes of God or man. It would seem that a man of no religious profession has lost his self-respect when he thus fails to regard the Sabbath. So we request the preachers of the Ken­ tucky .Conference to lift up their voice against these violations of God's holy Sabbath. W. C. STEWART, T. H. CONREY, S. B. WARDRIP. 1919] Methodist Episcopal Church 251

ENTERTAINMENT. T~~ Kentucky Conference hopes that before many years it may have the pnvIlege of coming to Louisville again to hold its sessions and enjoy the gr.aclOus hospitality of the city's people. The spirit of Kentucky coupled with th~ spirit of Methodism makes a very happy combination. This was deeply Impressed upon the members of the Conference during their stay in Louisville, Therefore, be it resolved, That the Kentucky Conference of 1919 extend hearty thanks to the Methodists of Louisville, under the leadership of our brothers, O. L. Curl, W. F. Gregory, and J. T. Martin, pastors of Trinity, Wesley, and Epworth Churches, respectively, their officials, laity, and choir, for the splendid way they entertained us. . Resolved, That the members of the above named churches be espe­ cially th'anked for the many comforts of their homes, which they opened so unreservedly to the Conference. Resolved, That the gracious women of Trinity Church be remembered beca~se of their beautiful service in the dining room during the noon and evenmg meals. Resolved, That the brethren of the Conference, who sang to our edifi­ cation, be heartily thanked. Be it also . Resolved, That the Conference extend its appreciation to Mayor George Smith of Louisville for his fine words of welcome. Again, be it Resolved, first, That we reiterate the resolution of Dr. Jones concerning 0!lr beloved Bishop Anderson, and that as a Conference we greatly appre­ ciate the presence and splendid administration of Bishop W. F. Anderson, and especially do we thank him for his world-wide information as imparted to us. Second, That he be kept before the throne of Grace as he shall go to Europe on the great mission of the church. Further, be it Resolved, That we thank the Secretary of the Conference and his as­ sistants for their painstaking chronicle of the acts of the Conference. Also to the Statistical Secretaries.

FOREIGN MISSIONS. We are willingly and heartily committed to the "Divine Enterprise of Missions." The world-wide empire of King Immanuel is still in the making, but is giving increasing promise of certain accomplishment. The open door for the church in the foreign field and the appeals from every field call the home church to redouble its energy that it may more fully obey the Master's command, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." We urge the pastors to give more diligent attention to the diffusion of missionary information by preaching on the subject, the organization of mission study classes in the Epworth League, and the use of missionary programs in the Sunday school. The brief message of Dr. John R. Mott, a Methodist and a world citizen, before our Conference was received with greatest pleasure; and we acknowl­ edge his international leadership in missionary endeavor. The wide obser­ vation and illuminating comments of our president, Bishop Anderson, on European mission fields have been of greatest profit to us, and we hereby express our appreciation and pleasure. We recommit ourselves to the findings of the experts in the Centenary survey, and to the askings of the Centenary Commission, and pledge through loyal endeavor to collect into the treasury every dollar pledged. We believe, however, that a still higher baptism and blessing awaits our beloved church when we bring all the tithes into the storehouse, and by June 1, 1920, lead a million souls to the altars of Methodism. THOMAS ROBERTS, Chairman. T. B. ASHLEY, Secretary. Kentucky Conference [1919

EPWORTH LEAGUE. The reports of our Epworth League throughout Methodism have been most encouraging. Our young people have shown us that they are capable of doing big things in a big way when properly inspired and directed. We heartily recommend the Epworth Herald to all who desire a newsy Christian paper for their homes. We also recommend the observance of "Win My Chum" week. Litera­ ture on conducting a "Win My Chum" campaign may be had free from the Central Office at Chicago. Organize an Epworth League among your young people if you desire to hold them for the church and to the church. L. O. CARDER, H. G. MURRELL, J. B. MAHAFFEY.

STATE OF THE CHURCH. The committee begs to submit the following report: The General Con­ ference has stated the "Kentucky Conference shall include the State of Ken­ tucky." This has reference to boundary line. But there is very much terri­ tory in the State where we are not found as a church. As people choose their own church affiliation and connection, there are people who prefer the Meth­ odist Episcopal Church above any other, and this is so in Kentucky. There is much territory in the Conference where we had members and circuits that have been given up and are now possessed and held by other churches. And this in portions of our State where there has been the largest financial and material development. The funds have not been sufficient to enable us to be very aggressive. We should have strengthened our city churches if we had been more persistent in prosecuting our work in the mountains and rural districts. If we would succeed in Kentucky, it is the faith of the committee that there should be closer and more careful supervision, especially as touch­ ing our mountain work. The Centenary work was quite a successful work in the Conference. Our educational work is moving forward and the people are looking in the direction of Union College and are hopeful of the future successs of that institution. The school at Olive Hill, under the care of the Woman's Home Missionary Society, is doing well and should have the sup­ port of this Conference. We recommend that our young men who may be contemplating entering the ministry of our church obtain the best educa­ tion and equipment possible for this high and holy calling. JOHN CHEAP, Chairman. S. F. KELLY. E. B. HILL, Secretary.

FREEDMEN'S AID. The Freedmen's Aid Society is now a part of the Centenary Movement, but that does not preclude the necessity of presenting the work of the Society at least once a year to every congregation. The great world program which is being promoted by the Centenary includes the presentation of the gospel to all peoples, races, and classes, whether they are in foreign fields or at our doors in the homeland. The salvation of the more than one hundred millions of black people in Africa is dependent quite largely upon an intelligent arous­ ing of the missionary spirit of the ten or twelve millions of Negroes in the United States. We suggest that the pastors be requested by the Conference to observe Lincoln Memorial Sunday in February, as the most opportune time during the year at which to call to the attention of our congregations the very im­ portant work of Negro education and uplift. .

TEMPERANCE. The conduct of the liquor traffic is the expression of its nature. "By their fruits ye shall know them" applied to the traffic indicates that it is con­ ceived in the carnal nature of man and fathered by the devil. Jesus por­ trayed the forerunners of the liquotites when he said to some men, "Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do." The men­ dacities and hypocrisies of the traffic, npt to mention other traits, show its Satanic paternity. It stole a beautiful French name, "Saloon"-suggestive of the refinements of life-to designate its drinking dens. It masquerades under a false name. Though the common idea of business is an exchange of money for an equivalent in value, and the traffic never gives a patron an equivalent of his money, yet it pretends to be a respectable business. In other trades when men do not receive an equivalent for their money they call it a swindle. Judged by this test, statistics show that the traffic has exceeded the Louisiana lottery as a swindle a thousand to one. Its cham­ pionship of "personal liberty," though. it educates men to give up self-control and has made more slaves than the African slave trade, prove its filiation to the devil. It is almost incredible than our fathers tolerated the slave markets, through which family ties were sundered and the parental guardianship of boyhood- and girlhood and the conjugal defense of womanhood were in­ humanly broken, but it is equally horrible that slave traders have been allowed to open their markets in the midst of our homes to tempt youths to drink, to wean them from home and church, to unfit them for patriotic citizenship, and to put upon brow and brain the brand of slavery. The 254 Kentucky Conference [1919 atrocious selfishness and the destructive deviltry of the traffic have never half been told. Its pretension to be a public benefactor by the payment of revenue into the public treasuries while it costs twice as much to support the traffic as it does the government, proves that it is fathered by the same mendacious and malign spirit whom the Bible calls "Deceiver, Adversary, and Destroyer." All of the array of Biblical names used to delineate the devil are applicable to the liquor traffic. The devil in man is the source and sustenance of the liquor traffic. There is only one adequate remedy-God in man. "He that is not for me is against me" epitomizes the agelong war­ fare between truth and falsehood, righteousness and wickedness, of which destructive Prussianism and alcoholism are but vanishing episodes. In single sentences of Jesus there were germinal periods, epochs, centuries of human history. In the words, "I came to destroy the works of the devil," "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free," we find the secret of the progress of prohibition. Jesus taught us by parable that there is the same adaptation between truth and the human spirit to bring forth a harvest of righteousness that there is between seed and soil to bring forth a harvest of grain. "Preach the gospel," "preach the Word" ("thy Word is truth") have been heeded and proclaimed by pulpit, press, and platform, and the truth having been heard and read by responsive spirits has brought forth the harvest of righteous achievement which we behold. The adoption of wartime and constitutional prohibition was simply the triumph of truth over falsehood, of righteousness over wickedness. The wisdom and the spirit of Jesus ate the solvents of human problems. Because the liquorites are practically blind to these invisible forces they neither discerned what was coming, nor do they now know how our land is being rapidly delivered from their despotism. They do not understand what has happened because they have never known that they were fighting against God. "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." We ought also to recognize the providential helpfulness coming to us through the exigencies of the World War. David said, "Before I was afflicted I went astray." Out of the Revo­ lutionary War WaS born to us the Declaration of Independence, but when the Constitution was framed in the quietness of peace it was not made in consonance with the doctrine that all men are born free and equal. It was not until the Americans were embroiled with Americans in fratricidal strife that Lincoln on his knees promised God that if he would give the Federal arms a victory he would emancipate the slaves. Then the Declaration and the Constitution were reconciled. Now it is a significant parallelism to the foregoing that another very radical antagonism between the principles of our National Government and its policies should have found no solution until the most awful war of history reiterated the call of God to us, "Let my people go." Though our union was formed for th~ public welfare and the decisions of our Supreme Court had uniformly shown the liquor traffic to be hostile to the public good, we went on sinning against light until the World War burst upon us, and we saw that we must overthrow alcohol to dethrone the kaiser. France and England would not break with the liquor traffic. France could not take the Argonne Forest and England was menaced with starvation by the submarines. Uncle Sam passed sentence of death on John Barleycorn and then executed the verdict of God on the kaiser-"Pride goeth before destruction and an haughty spirit before a fall." The worth and joy of victory are emphasized by contrast with the destruction and gloom which defeat would have brought. The loss of the battle of the Marne, the fall of Paris, the capture of the channel ports, and the invasion and subjugation of England would have been the darkest day in history, but even then God and Uncle Sam would have been a majority, for a permanently lost world is unthinkable in view of that "far-off divine event to which the whole of creation moves," when "the knowledge of the Lord shall cover the earth was the waters cover the sea." So, too, the defeat of the great fight for wartime and constitutional prohibition would have Methodist Episcopal Church 255 been a measureless disaster to our country and the world. But that, like the victory of the Huns, was unthinkable. For the progressive development of humanity is of divine purpose, plan, and propulsion. As the victory over the Huns was wrought by men of faith from Foch and Pershing down to the not less heroic privates like Alvin York, so the triumph of temperance prin­ ciples has been accomplished by the sons of God. "Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world," and "this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith." Our temperance reformers had the same unfaltering faith to fight the liquor traffic expressed by Pershing against the Central Powers when he said, "Germany can be beaten, Germany must be beaten, Germany will be beaten." "He that believeth shall not be ashamed." In the accomplishment of these victories, new muster rolls of God's heroes like that of the 11th chapter of Hebrews have doubtless been made in the archives of heaven. Can we pay any better tribute to the Kentucky Anti-Saloon League and its superin­ tendent, Dr. Palmer, than to surmise that he and others of his League have found honorable record there as "co-workers with God." Now as dry States were not safe while others were wet, a dry America needs a dry world. Our own safety, the need of the outlying world, and the spirit- of Christ constrain us to safeguard the world against the seductions of strong drink. If the liquor traffic knew that its rout "is the Lord's doing," it might do like Julian, the apostate, who when he received a fatal thrust in battle, caught a handful of blood from his wounded side and, lifting it toward heaven, cried, "0 Galilean, thou hast conquered."

DISTRICT CONFERENCE RECORDS. We, your Committee on District Conference Records, have examined the records of the Louisville District Conference and find them correct. The secretary of the Ashland District Conference failed to bring the record to Conference. The Covington-Lexington District held no Conference. L. F. PAYNE, T. H. CONREY, G. A. PARSONS.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS. We rejoice in the fact that we are living in an age of reading and investi­ gation. Good books and religious literature never were so accessible as now. There are many opportunities for expansion in wisdom. One of the best is the world is afforded through the publications of The Methodist Book Con­ cern. We are pleased to note the constant improvement in the Western Chris­ tian Advocate, and we wish to express our thanks to the editor for his efforts in making the Western one of the best religious journals in this part of the country. We believe it to be at this time the best it ever was in its history. We also recommend that our pastors and laymen assist in the sale of our books and periodicals, bearing in mind the fact that the dividends of our Book Concern returns to our Conference claimants, and not one penny goes to any private individual. We rejoice that the dividends of our Book Concern, amounting to more than one million dollars, reaches our Conference claimants each quadrennium. Therefore it is to the interest of our pastors as well as their duty to assist the reading public in the selection of the best literature in the world. J. T. MARTIN, J. G. RAGAN, WORTH S. PETERS.

REPORT OF THE BOOK COMMITTEE TO THE ANNUAL CON­ FERENCES OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH For the year ended December 31, 1918. The Book Committee passed a resolution directing that a copy of the following report shall be sent to all our papers, official and nonofficial, with a request that the same shall be published, and that a copy shall also be sent to all the bishops, requesting them to have it read at the Annual Conferences over which they shall preside: DEAR FATHERS AND BRETHREN: The condensed financial statement presented with this report indicates a very prosperous business condition in our Book Concern. In spite of the uncertainties and distractions of war the sales of the year amounted to $3,327,809. While this is a slight decrease from the results of the year before, every indication is that during the reconstruction period immediately before us we shall surpass all previous records. The report of the Book Editor reveals the fact that the high stand­ ards of previous years have been maintained. Those who have laid broad and sure intellectual foundations by reading the great books issuing from our presses have not been the easy prey of the religious vagaries and erroneous doctrines that infest our land. A part of. the mission of every minister to his people is to induce them to read great books .. We rejoice that the cata­ logue of our Book Concern contains such an ample supply. The Christian Advocates are strong, loyal, well-edited religious journals containing accurate information concerning church activities and able dis­ cussions of vital subjects with which loyal and intelligent Methodists should be acquainted. In our connectional system they are indispensable. While the circulation of the Advocates is increasing, it yet remains that the great majority of our people are not taking them, and are thus not in contact with the large Kingdom movements of the time in which we live. It should be the ambition of every church to have an Advocate in each of its homes. The superior quality of our Sunday-school literature, edited by recog­ nized masters in their various departments, is matter of great recognition. Publishing both the graded and uniform lesson helps, adapted to all ages and conditions, together with other periodicals and supplies, we are able to meet and cover the opportunity to supply every legitimate need of all of our schools. The annual dividend to aid retired ministers and their families is $250,000. Such sum taken from the earnings of a religious publishing house for such a purpose has no parallel outside of our own church. A concern pouring such volumes of religious literature upon the world and rendering such a service to the aged veterans of our church is worthy of the most hearty support of all of our people. The mighty and beneficent achievements of the past are not to be com­ pared with what the Methodist Book Concern, with its splendid buildings, equipment, organization, and leadership, shall accomplish when it has the undivided and loyal support of all of our people. WILLIAM F. CONNER, Chairman. EZRA S. TIPPLE, Secretary. BOOK CONCERN ACCOUNTS. We find that the brethren are paying up their accounts with the Book Concern rather slowly, and would recommend that settlements be made with the collector as early as possible, in the session of the Conference, thereby expediting the business of collecting the accounts. We further find that, owing to the present financial situation, the Book Concern has been forced to borrow money to pay its bills, whilst thousands of dollars of unpaid accounts are on the books, and we would therefore recom­ mend that as far as possible our ministers do not postpone the settlement of their accounts until the session of Conference, but pay the same during the Methodist Episcopal Church 257 year, thereby avoiding the necessity of the payment of interest by the Book Concern on borrowed money, and thus leave a larger dividend to be paid to the Conference Claimants.

MEMORIAL TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE OF 1920. Resolved, That we, the members of the Kentucky Conference, assembled at Louisville, Kentucky, do hereby memorialize the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church of 1920 to establish a standing committee on "Hospitals, and Homes for the Aged and Children," to which shall be referred all matters pertaining to hospitals and the varied philanthropies of the church. E. T. FRANKLIN, Dated: October 3, 1919. T. HOWARD JONES, J. A. BRETZ. MEMORIAL. WHEREAS, The Board of Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church is elected from the whole church and represents the head and heart of Meth­ odism, and, WHEREAS, Our Conference Course of Study has called forth continuous criticism, such criticisms being well founded because of ultra liberal views in certain books in our Conference Course; and, WHEREAS, Ultra liberal unscriptural study will weaken the faith of our young men and thereby destroy their ministry; therefore, Resolved, first, That the Kentucky Conference does hereby memorialize the General Conference to return to the Board of Bishops the power and responsibility of making our Course of Study for our ministry; and, Second, That our Kentucky Conference delegation is hereby instructed to use all diligence in securing the enactment of this memorial.

HARROP, CHAIRMAN. J. M. LITERAL, REGISTRAR. x. JMemoir~.

REV. H. C. NORTHCOTT. A good life has its memorable lessons of instruction. It is a rich element of happiness, and will flow into the broad stream of divine manifestations to live forever as an operative cause of good in the universe of mind. An emi- nently truthful and good char- " acter, embodying the qualities of a noble life, and expressing the results of patient self-study, dis- cipline, submission to truth, and firm" adherence to rectitude, is sensitive to all the attractions of the infinite Excellence, and will exist as an imperishable image of beauty in the eternal remem­ brances of God. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever." God re­ joices in the illustrations of his perfections of human life and char­ acter. He taketh pleasure in them that fear him. He multiplies his words and works through his in­ telligent creatures. He is glorified in good men. His essential beauty a nd excellence are rendered glori­ ous when seen in the mirror of finite exemplifications of truth and righteousness. How pleasant, then, to contemplate a Christian life-a life full of truth's teachings and virtue's utterances-a life swayed by principle, poised by duty, ab- Rev. H . C . Northcott. horrent of all shams, grasping realities, ever moving toward the true end, indexed to the life immortal. A charcter strong in its integrity, firm in its settings, compact and wealthy in its resources, self-reliant in its movements: neither veiled in re­ serves of opinion nor disrobed i~ bare exposures of thought; inlaid with gen­ erous qualities and sympathies; variegated with veins of humor and many an intersection of pleasantry; capacious in its infoldings of attributes, affec­ tions and determinations; the whole controlled by grace as having subdued nature, by the Lord Christ as the mighty Saviour, and by the Holy Spirit as the Sanctifier: such was the character of Rev. Henry Clay Northcott. Ninety-six years and a fraction comprised Brother Northcott's existence in this lower world. He was the son of Benjamin and Martha Northcott, and the fourteenth of a family of fifteen children. In his autobiography he says: "I never knew the time that I did not fear God and that I did not know that I must be born again to gain the kingdom of heaven." These 269 Kentucky Conference early religious impressions he attributes to the instruction- given by a godly mother, to whom. he pays this tribute: "The Lord could not have put fifteen children into better hands for control and training," then he adds: "I say it deliberately, after having observed the lives of a great many good mothers, that if I ever saw her superior, or even her equal, I am not aware of it." He was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1843, at the age of twenty-one years. He was given exhorter's license and continued as an exhorter four years. In 1847 he was granted local preacher'S license, and continued in the local ranks until 1850, at which time he was received on trial into the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in session at Frankfort, and was assigned to the Owensville Circuit. He was ordained deacon at Mt. Sterling in 1851 by Bishop Payne; two years later he was ordained elder. He continued in the active ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, until 1865, when Conference convened at Covington. Now that the war was over and the question of slavery settled, there was a feeling on the part of many that the churches should unite. This was expressed in the minority report on the state of the church at this Conference. But the Conference refused to instruct the dele­ gates to the General Conference to vote for union, and as a result eighteen ministers requested location. These immediately joined the Methodist Episcopal Church. Brother Northcott was one of this number, of which Rev. ]. W. Zimmerman, of Dayton, Kentucky, is the only surviving member. These men were known as the "Loyal Eighteen." From this date until the time of his retirement in 1890 he served as an itinerant preacher in the Meth­ odist Episcopal Church. With reference to his retirement he says: "I was over sixty-eight years old, and had been partially deaf a long time--was growing worse, and felt that it was the best thing to do." Following his retirement he settled in Clifton, Newport, where he lived and attended Grace Church up to the time of his death. Brother Northcott was a successful pastor. He was evangelistic and conducted many successful revivals. At one time he had a very beautiful voice and was known throughout the Conference as a sweet singer. He was the founder of the Ruggles Camp Meeting Association, and attended the meetings there regularly, so long as his health would permit. In 1845 he married Hannah Amanda Lewis, who was his companion until March 31, 1917-seventy-two years-when she peacefully passed away. To this union were born six children, two of whom, H. B. Northcott and Lulu Northcott-survive. His death resulted from a fractured hip. He peacefully entered upon his reward from Christ Hospital, December 11, 1918. His body was laid to rest in the family burying ground at Vanceburg, Kentucky.-O. J. CARDER.

REV. F. T. KELLEY. The Rev. Frederick Trigg Kelley, son of the Rev. S. F. and Mrs. S. A. Kelley, was born in Morgan County, Kentucky, January 30, 1875, and passed to his reward at Augusta, Kentucky, October 17, 1918, aged forty-three years, eight months, and seventeen days. Being the son of a Kentucky itinerant minister, his education was received in several of the common schools of the State, then at Union Col­ lege, Barbourville, Kentucky. After graduating from that institution he at­ tended Boston University. When twenty-two years of age he answered the call to the gospel ministry and entered the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he served the following charges: Shelbyville, three years; Catlettsburg, one year; Russell, five years; Latonia, two years; Wesley, Louisville, one year; Somerset, one year; Augusta, one year. In other States he served Salem, New Hampshire, two years; Rock Springs, Wyoming, two years; Utah, one year; Iowa, three years. 191 9] Methodist Episcopal Church

C?n October 3, 1900, at Shelbyville, Kentucky, he was married to Miss Ameba Choate, who proved a true helpmate and shared with him the joys and sorrows of the itinerant life. She, with two daughters and her mother, his father and mother two sisters, and four brothers ~ourn their loss. ' On October 18, 1918, a brief service was held at the parsonage in Augusta, conducted by the Rev. W. G. Bradford, D.O. On the 19th the body was taken to Bar­ bourville, where, on the 21st, the funeral was conducted by the Rev. A. H. Davis, assisted by the Revs. £. T. Franklin and O. C. Hass. Four · other ministers and six Free Masons acted as pallbearers. He was laid to rest in the beautiful city cemetery. The writer has known Brother Kelley since his entering the Con­ ference twenty-one years ago, and has always considered him one of the most sweet-spirited men pe has ever known. He was always pa­ tient and submissive all through his long and painful illness of eleven months, seven weeks of which Rev. F. T. Kelley. were spent at Christ Hospital, where he underwent an operation.-WM. JONES, D.O.

MRS. E. R. OVERLEY. Ethel Galbraith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Galbraith, was born March 29, 1883, and died August 17, 1919; was married to Rev. E. R. Overley, September 11, 1911. She was converted and united with the Meth­ odist Episcopal Church when a small girl. Mrs. Overley was an excellent Christian, very devoted to her husband and children. She felt it a supreme duty to keep the home. In her many months of declining health she did not complain but was patient, working no hardship on anyone. She was industrious, economical, a willing, worthy, and an efficient helpmate; humble in spirit, beautiful in character, retiring in disposition, a faithful minister's wife, one of those good individuals with which the Lord has blessed humanity and the church. After so short a life in the capacity of an itinerant's helpmate and the keeper of the parsonage home, and a long siege of sickness, she slipped out of life into eternal life as quietly as she had lived, leaving her husband, three children, and a host of friends to mourn her departure. She was loved and honored by all who knew her. The example and influence she left behind has immortalized her memory in the minds of all who knew her; from henceforth she rests from her labors but her works do follow, for while she being dead yet speaketh.-L. C. GODBEY.

MRS. J. F. RUGGLES. Mrs. Nellie Hendrickson Ruggles was born near Martin, Lewis County, Kentucky, April 8, 1893. Her parents, Joseph and Rachael Hendrickson, died in her infancy, and in the home of her grandparents, Richard Kennedy and wife, she grew to womanhood. She was educated in the public schools Kentucky Conference [1919 of Lewis County. At the age of fourteen whe was converted and joined Muse Chapel, Methodist Episcopal Church, December, 1907, under the ministry of the writer.. She was married to John F. Ruggles, December 2, 1911. This happy union was blessed with five children, the firstborn dying in infancy. Since her death two others have died, the babe, Howard Taylor, and Joseph Harman, the fourth in age, leaving the second, John F., Jr., and the third, Lena Jane. Sister Ruggles is survived by a sister, Mrs. John Madden, of Maysville, and by a brother, O. E. Hendrickson, of Covington, and by her husband. Though modest and retiring, Sister Ruggles had a winning personality. She was well poised and, though not demonstrative, was sympathetic and loving. She was hospitable and delighted to entertain ministers. Her life was brief but fruitful. As a mother she was firm but tender. Her children were at­ tractive. They will perp.etuate her influence so that she will still live. To them she has bequeathed the heritage of a godly life, the greatest legacy any­ one can transmit. She will be their guardian angel, and may we not hope that they will all live together again in the heavenly home. She had a tri­ umphant death. In earthly contests he wins the prize who first reaches the goal; and in the race for a home beyond the skies shall we not count them happy who finish their course in the shortest time? Her trials are past, her eyes are done with weeping. Freed from disease, infused with immortal vigor, she will grow in holiness, develop in intelligence, increase in knowledge while the eternal ages roll. It falls to the lot of many to suffer through long years of sickness and pain, but she has escaped all these. From a vigorous womanhood she passed like an autumn leaf crisped by an untimely frost. Her beautiful form may moulder back to dust, but with a body like her Lord's she shall shine like the stars forever.-W. H. MORRIS.

MRS. S. B. WARDRIP. The writer met Mrs. S. B. Wardrip, wife of Rev. S. B. Wardrip, about a year before her death, but felt that he had known her for about nine years. When I arrived at my first appointment the people of the charge had so many good things to say in commendation of her life and character that I became acquainted with her in a way through them. She and her husband had labored there before me and her influence as well as her husband's was still being felt in the community. And upon arrival on my second charge I found the same was true there also. When I met her and became personally acquainted with this godly woman I was convinced that no exaggerations had been made in regard to her life. She was undoubtedly acquainted with the Lord. She was an excellent worker in the church, a power in prayer, and a true helpmate to her husband, bearing her part of the burdens of life that come to the minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. She was a good mother, a loyal Methodist, believing the doctrines of the church to the letter, and obeying its rules. She died triumphantly in the faith of him whom she had endeavored to serve from early childhood and went home to receive her re­ ward. She passed away during the Conference year. The blessing of the Lord be upon her husband and three children in this their great bereavement and sorrow.-CHARLES MITCHELL.

MRS. MARTHA J. WHITEMAN. At her home in Science Hill, Kentucky, on June 6, 1919, departed this life Mrs. Martha J. Whiteman, widow of the Rev. B. F. Whiteman, who was for many years a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church and for some years presiding elder. Mrs. Whiteman was born December 25, 1835, the daughter of James and Christine Wells. She became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the age of ten and lived a faithful and consecrated member until the time of her death-a period of seventy-three years. Methodist Episcopal Church 273

On October 26, 1855, she was married to the Rev. B. F. Whiteman, and through the years of his service as a faithful minister of God shared the trials and triumphs of the circuit rider and later on the cares and responsi­ bilities of the presiding elder. To him she was "an ever-present help in time of trouble" and in more joyful season a sufficient guard against exaltation. To this union were born three sons and three daughters; five children surviving her, the other having died in infancy. As might be expected, the fruits of Christian training in the home are well evidenced among them. JY!:any times during her illness she assured the family of her perfect trust In God and of her willingness to go when he summoned her, asking them not to grieve for her when the summons should come.

MRS. J. M. COOK. Lizzie Smotherman was born near the old Gragg Campground in Pulaski County, Ky., March 2, 1844. She was married to Rev. J. M. Cook about I860, and died July 25, I9I9, at the home of her youngest son, Charles R. Cook, Highland, Lincoln County, Ky. She was buried in the Methodist Cemetery at Highland, after funeral services conducted by the Rev. John Godbey, of Science Hill, Ky., and her pastor, the Rev. J. H. Lewis. She was the mother of ten children of which six are still living, namely: W. R. Cook, Louisville, Ky.; J. W. Cook, Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. Allie Stevens, New Albany, Ind.; Mrs. Cora Butt, Hardin S. and Charles R. Cook, Highland, Ky. Her husbartd died on April 17, I9II, at the age of 74 years, and was laid to rest in the cemetery of the Methodist Church, Highland, Ky. A blessed reunion has taken place in heaven, and these two hearts that were one in this world are united again to live forever with the Lord. Sister Cook lived the greater part of her life at Highland, having moved there from Mt. Vernon, Ky., in 1874, when her husband was as­ signed to this charge. As long as her health would permit she was al­ ways a faithful attendant upon the services of the church, and especially the mid-week prayer meeting and the Sunday school. C. M. YOUNG. XI. 1\011 of

Afternoon Meeting. The matter of lay representation in the Annual Conference of one lay delegate from each charge was discussed and, upon motion, was adopted by a unanimous vote of 60 ayes. Upon motion, the action of the Laymen's Association adopting a reso­ lution recommending the fixing of the minimum salary paid any preacher giving all his time to ministerial work at $1,000 was ratified. Committee on Resolutions was appointed, consisting of A. M. Decker, J. K. Thornburg, and J. W. Bates, whose report, as follows, was adopted: RESOLUTIONS. "Resolved, That inasmuch as the ensuing General Conference will of necessity be an epoch-making Conference because of the momentous question of church unity and Centenary program that shall come up for consideration, we desire to point to the fact that the Methodist Episcopal Church in Ken­ tucky is possibly more vitally interested in the question of organic union than any other section of Methodism. We in Kentucky feel the burden of a divided Methodism in the waste, the economic waste, of men, money, and energy, and would hail the day of organic union upon a basis consistent with the careful conservation of the rights of our loyal Methodists in this border State. "Resolved, That we commend the work of the Laymen's Association: of this Conference, and hope the time is not far distant when, through the medium of this organization, deficiency columns in Conference Minutes may be blank. We urge all delegates to inspire as many men of their charges as can do so, to attend the annual sessions of the Laymen's Association. "Resolved, That both laymen and preachers of our Conference should give their best effort to the upbuilding of Union College at Barbourville. "Resolved, That we appreciate more than words can express the kindly spirit in which we have been received and entertained by the Methodists of all of the churches of Louisville. We shall never forget the kindly hospi­ tality of our brethren." There being no further business, the Conference adjourned "sine die." JOHN VENN, Secretary.

LAYMEN'S ASSOCIATION OF THE KENTUCKY ANNUAL CONFERENCE. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 3, 1919. The meeting of the Laymen's Association of the Kentucky Conference was held in Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Louisville, Friday morn­ ing, October 3, 1919, Mr. Fred Hess, President, presiding. Owing to the absence of the Secretary, Mr. J. H. Richardson, Mr. John Venn was ap- pointed Secretary pro tern. . After opening song, Mr. Silas Wesley led in prayer. The President, Mr. Hess, gave an address of welcome, and introduced Rev. F. 1. Johnson, in charge of the Cincinnati Area of the Joint Centenary Movement, who gave an inspiring address upon the Centenary work and the program for the coming year. Mr. E. Don Bancroft, of Columbus, Ohio, now engaged in Centenary work, followed with a stirring appeal to the laymen of the church to push forward the Centenary work in their various churches. Rev. J. L. Fort, of the Commission on Finance, addressed the meeting upon the needs of the ministry throughout the church, and urged the necessity of seeing that our preachers be given a better support. Upon motion, the following resolution was adopted: "WHEREAS, The cost of living has increased one hundred per cent in the last four years, while there has been very little increase and in many cases no increase whatever in the salaries paid our ministers; and, 280 Kentucky Conference [1919

"WHEREAS, The ability of our people to pay has been very largely advanced through the increase of wages to laborers and the increase in prices of all farm products; and, "WHEREAS, This increase in the needs of a family as represented by the cost of living and the increase in the ability of our people to pay ought to result in a corresponding increase in the salaries of our preachers: "Resolved, first, That all salaries of $2,000 and less ought to be in­ creased to an amount approximating an advance of $100 per year since 1915, and that in salaries of over $2,000 such increase is advisable as may be re­ quired by the increased cost of living. "Resolved, second, That as laymen of the church upon whom the re­ sponsibility for the maintenance of an efficient ministry largely depends, we recommend that the minimum amount of cash salary paid any preacher who gives all his time to ministerial work shall be $1,000, and we pledge our­ selves to use our utmost endeavor to bring every pastoral charge up to this suggested minimum." Motion by Mr. A. M. Decker that a committee be appointed to convey to the Annual Conference the action of the Laymen's Association. Carried. Mr. A. M. Decker and Silas Wesley were appointed the committee. Upon motion, all representatives to the Lay Electoral Conference were recognized as members of the Laymen's Association. The election of officers for the ensuing year being now in order, upon motion, the President, Fred Hess, of Louisville; the Secretary, J. H. Rich­ ardson, of Maysville, and the Treasurer, John Venn, of Ludlow, were re­ elected, and the following vice-presidents for the districts were elected: Ashland District, H. S. Dawson, Pikeville; Covington-Lexington District, L. H. Wilson, Newport; Louisville District, Silas Wesley, Bethel Ridge; and the President was given power to appoint a Vice-President from any new district which might be formed. Motion made that each representative be requested to take a collection upon the various charges to defray the expenses of carrying on the work of the Association, and forward the same to the Treasurer, Mr. John Venn, Ludlow, Kentucky. Motion carried. Collection taken at this meeting amounted to $8.55. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned. JOHN VENN, Secretary pro tern. XIV.

HRIST r10$PITAL was opened January, 1889, and occupies a representative· position among the charitable institutions G of the great city of Cincinnati. It is located in Mt. Auhurn, just north of the basin of the cLt.y. A beautiful new wing was cQ!11plcted; in January, 1916, containing fifty-one private rooms for patients, twenty for a.dmiliistration, with a splendidly equipped kitchen aod·store rooms on the top Hoor. The building is so ar~ ranged that each room occupied 11y patients receives the rays of the sun some time during the day. Ample grounds surround theinsti­ tution, on which are located a fine Power house and E1~tric plant, and a splendidly equipped Nurses' Home. . Owing to the demands. brought about by the war, the number of Student Nurses has been increased to one hundred and twenty. The hospital affords accommodations for two hundred patjents. It is furnished with all modern appliances, and is considered one of the best-equipped hospitals of its size in the Middle West. Eleven deaconesses are connected with the institution. Last yeal: over 4,000 patients were aqmitted to the hospital. The free and part -pay departments were maintained at.a. cost· of over $30,000. Christ Hospital has always been noted for giving cups of cold water in His name; and the past year has been no exception.
