Temple of God! Where through thy corridors The mighty organ peals. With accents hushed in prayer The Congregation kneels, And in one voice of thankfulness God's richest grace implores.

Temple of God! A breath of symmetry Pervades thy spacious halls. From nave to chancelled choir Resounds each tower and wall With songs of living fire, In sacred harmony.

Temple of God! Where little children meet Rings each arch and rafter With voices glad in song And bubbling childish laughter, Which like an incense rises To God's own judgment seat. MINUTES

REPORTS.

JOINT REPORTS OF DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS. By W. M. Puffer, Supt. Kalamazoo Dist.

Our place of work is Michigan, the effect of our work reaches to the ends of the earth. Michigan has a population of 3.608,412, an Increase of 3Japan, which has 57 million people, one-fourth the area of Germany, which has 66 millions. Only 9,000.000 acres are under the plow, 14,000,000 acres open for development are now recorded as agriculturally unoccupied land. The natural resources of Michigan can sustain a much greater population. We Christian workers labor in the life of a State which Is great at the present time; and we build our lives into the higher life of a State, wlidch shall be vastly greater In the days to come. The last religions government statistics gives 582 Roman Catholic Organizations in Michigan with 572,1117 members In which about exactly one-fourth are under 13 years of age. In Michigan the Methodist Episcopal Church Is reported as being stronger than the next three Protestant denominations taken together. The Metho dist Episcopal Church in Michigan probably has as large, or a larger constituency Including its membership than the Roman Catholic Church, but In organized philan thropy the Roman Catholic Church is far ahead. Our Michigan Conference membership Is 71,169. Our constituency Is at least 250,000. Reports from the pastoral charges are Incomplete, yet the Incomplete, outline view Is of value. The number of probationers reported In tile Conference is 4073. The number of preparatory members reported by districts is ns follows: Albion Я20 ; Big Rapids 845; Grand Rapids 580; Grand Traverse 409; Kalamnznu 457; Lan sing 942 ; Niles 460. One Superintendent states that ten pastors report no one re ceived In to preparatory membership. The number received from preparatory Into full membership is 2993 ; number received by letter and from other churches .1827 ; 129 pastors reported that they held special services ; 38 pastors reported that they had evangelists. The number reported as received from the work of evangelists is 828. The number reported as received from the work of pastors and members is 3357. These incomplete reports seem to show that there was good care in shepherding probationers and getting them Into the church ; that a much less number of probations has been received this year than last; that a large number of pastors have held no special services ; that as a general rule meetings hold with evangelists were not as fruitful as where the 192 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921 meetings were carried on by pastors nnd members. It is a matter for profound sor row that we have not led more persons to Christ. The evangelistic result of the organizations and material forces in our Conference is not large. Such results in a great factory with its managers, its workingmen. its plant, would bring shnrp criti cism. We do not forget the great work of our church in education, philanthropies, reforms, missions, conserving and advancing morals; but the supreme need of our Conference Is a burning zeal to bring men and women and children to Christ, and to build them up in Christ. We need Sunday evangelism, special service evangelism, every day evangelism, personal work. Above all we need hearts so aflame with de sire to lead people to Christ that lesser things will be burned out. Our days of opportunity are passing. The total property improvement is $51:2,74."). The longest list of repairs on Church property is from Grand Rapids District where 32 preaching places report repairs or building, with a valuation оГ $162.176 which includes Trinity Church: Albion reports $12. .10!); Big Rapids ?П..">00; Grand Traverse $11.000: Kalamazoo $»4.290; Lansing $40.981 : NIlcs $238,470 which includes Benton Harbor. In many rases there was as hard or harder work where a small amount of money was expended, nnd as skillful management, ns whore the larger amounts were expended. Among tin' building or repairing enterprises of special interest are these: A new church nt Bethel ou the Ashton Charge, costing $5.000; a iHisemont at Islington costing $."¡,000, the Congregational church at Chippewa Lake becomes a part of the Big Rapids Parish : the Corning Church on the Wayl'and Charge was repaired at a cost of $4.400; the Rutland Church on the Hastings Parish was restored, after being de stroyed by a tornado, at a cost of $4,000 : the Grand Haven Church has piid $9,647 on its fine $10,000 lot and expects to begin building in the spring: Holland Church is repaired at a cost of $.".000 ; Smith's Corners Church on the Pentwater Charge has been built at a cost of $4,000: Sparta Church repaired at a cost of $(t.00O; Hart, at a cost of $8,000: Grandville has $12.000 on subscription and will s ion begin to build a $20.000 church ; up to date Trinity has spent $120,000 on its great church plant. The section for recreational, educational and community purposes will s:>on be oc cupied and tlie remainder of the work will he pushed steadily forward ; at Bantield the parsonage Is being repaired at a cost of $1.200; a $4,200 parsonage has been bought at Allegan; a $3,200 parsonage has been bought and paid for at T'rbandale: Battle Creek First Church has spent $11.000 on repairs; the Salem Indian Church costing $1,200 was dedicated by Bishop Henderson last October. The Wilson Memorial Church named after our honored Isaiah Wilson is paid for and deeded to its new Organization. The great achievement in property improve ment In the Conference this year is the completion of the magnificent Temple in which the Conference Is held, which cost $220,000 and on which $185,000 has been paid. The Allegan Church debt, one of the worst in the Conference, because of un fortunate history, is paid. The old debts paid this year amount to $35,290. The financial situation is dillicult. Grand Traverse District especially has bod a hard year. Frosts, a very had drought, with the fall in prices, have brought about a serious condition in that part of the Conference. The general business situation calls for skill and patience and sympathy and courage. Thousands of our people have shown Christian devotion and gnat loyalty to the Church during the last six months. For this devotion and loyalty we preachers ought to have high appreciation. In the southeastern part of Kalamazoo Is a Community House. Within the last few months the old property has been sold for $2.0410 nnd $0.000 has been spent on a new properly, which has been paid for except $425. The new land is 334 feet long— ell the space between two streets. There is room for a great plant for many years. This work is in the midst of a population of 5,000 where 17 languages are spoken. About one-half are Americans, many of whom need Americanization r.s much as the foreigners. The Sunday School reaches an attendance of 120, of whom one-third are Roman Catholics, the Cradle Roll US, the Home Department 75. There are Boy Scouts, Junior Scouts, Girl Reserves, Cottage prayer meetings, story hour, wel fare clinic, care for children of working women, which has had a total attendance of 1453, house visitation, care of sick, cooperation with other organizations. The very efficient Superintendent Is Miss Mildred Avery. 1921] REPORTS OF DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS 193

The Grand Rapide Community House property is on Wealthy Street. It con sists of two dwellings connected, In good repnlr, with plenty of room for the present. It has all the program described In the work of the Kalamazoo Community House and in addition a summer camp at Hess Lake near Newaygo, where about 45 children are taken in the summer for a week or ten days each. This splendid work is financed by the Epworth Leagues of Grand Rapids. The Grand Rapids Community House workers are very efficient and the work Is In good shape. The Centenary re-canvass was greatly needed. Reports of slumps in payments from some parts of the Conference are very bad. The Re-Canvass did a great amount of good. A partial report shows that $33,237 of new annual pledgee were received. Albion reports new pledges to the amount of $1,122; Big Rapids $2,500; Grand Rapids $.4.127; Kalamazoo $6,270; Lansing $6,812; Nlles $3,307. The Re-Canvass must he made every year. Our Bishop has been unsparing in labors. He puts himself in. He plays the game with us to the limit. He says he took a vacation. The fact Is that he spent six weeks hurrying from place to place, driving many hundreds of miles, preaching, lecturing, raising money, holding consultations, helping in as many places as he could reach. Among the very important achievements of the year are three kinds of gather ings of young people. It Is with clear vision of need and possibility, and with wis dom in organization, that our leader in this Area has Inspired these gatherings. There were 10 Crusaders Conferences with 1,1-68 registrations, 940 Crusaders, 288 Pastors and leaders. There were 533 Life Covenant Cards signed. Mrs Stair was gracious and wise in her work. The third Boys' Conference, under the efficient management of P. F. Stair, will be held this year. To the first one at Lansing came 135 boys. Tu the second one at Battle Creek came 14Í0 boys. These Conferences make for many young people the world a new world, their lives new lives. There was a wonderful Institute at Albion to which 1,175 young people came. At the recent meeting of the Catholic Hospital Association of the United States and Canada it was reported by the President, Rev. C. B. Moulinler, that there are 674 Roman Catholic Hospitals in North America with 20,000 sisters, as many nurses, about 60,000 physicians and surgeons on staffs, and that 4,000,000 patients are treated annually. High honor should be paid to the Roman Catholic Church for Its hospital work. The American Public Health Association states that there are in the United States 3,000,000 people sick in bed dally. It Is estimated that 28 percent of these should have hospital care, or that there should be 840,000 hospital beds. To meet this need there are about 7,000 hospitals in the United States having 10 or more beds. The total number of beds Is 454,000 ; of these the hospitals of the Roman Catholic Church have 65,000 beds in 582 hospitals; the hospitals of Protestant Churches have 35,000 beds in about 400 hospitals ; the hospitals of the Jews have 9,000 beds; the remaining 345,000 beds are In city, county, government and private hospi tals. At the present time the hospital need of this nation Is not over one-half sup plied by any hospitals, good or bad, and the population is rapidly growing. In comparison with the 582 Roman Catholic Hospitals, In the United States the Episcopal Church has 88, the Lutheran 67, the Baptist 27, the Presbyterian 17, other Protestant bodies smaller numbers, the Methodist Episcopal 08, in which 125,000 patients were treated In 1920. Our Church has also 44 Homes for aged people, working girls and young men, with a total capacity of about 2.000, 42 Homes for children with a total capacity of 2,500. A home for aged ministers Is to be opened October 1, with a capacity of loO. These Institutions have a present valuation of $29,550,241. They need at once at least $26,600,000, and many now Institutions ought to be started. In Michigan Methodism there Is an Old People's Home at Chelsea, which is а part of the work of the Detroit Conference, with a capacity of 55. At Grand Rapids there Is the M. J. Clark Memorial Home for old People, which has cared for 79 dur ing the post year. It greatly needs enlargement. Jesus Christ gave a threefold commission : preach, teach, heal —-Evangelism, Education, Philanthropy. Missionary work in the non^Chrlstian nations has three great 194 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921 methods of work —■Evangelism, Education, which includes two departments — schools and literature, and Philanthropy. One of the most powerful appeals for the Gospel Is Medical Missions. The lancet opens the w?y for the Gospel. Because our Lord commands it, because humanity needs it, because it opens hearts to the Gospel, the Church must do philanthropic work. Methodist philanthropies have two great po tential assets, the Methodist organization, and the disposition of Methodist Christians to do good deeds. We are landed squarely in front of Stewardship. We are God's by creation. He made all things we use. We must give account to Him. Christians belong to Christ because saved in Him. Our forces of personality, our money, ought to be held as Stewards. Money represents the force of human life, the resources of God. Money has immense power. It is a thing of dignity, of sacredness. It may be changed into freedom from suffering, into opportunity for larger, richer life. Stewardship is a life lived as unto God, in social life, business, politics, and the use of money with reference to the Kingdom of God. Stewardship will beat back and destroy the tides of hate ; will mix lives of power with lives of suffering and need ; will make mighty institutions of Christian Education and Philanthropy ; will lift up and enlarge the lives of stewards. The power and responsibility of the minister in influencing Christian people to give money Is very great. It is also a part of his duty to protect them from being exploited unrighteously. The two methods of raising money- — and these are Joined together— which will produce best results are, firstly, to get people to take Jesus Christ as the Lord of life, and then secondly, to give them information about needs and what money will do to meet those needs. The Educational and Philanthropic work of Michigan Methodism may be divided into two parts —what belongs to each Conference by itself and what belongs to the Methodist work of Ällchlgan as a whole. To each Conference belongs support of its own churches, its own general and local benevolences, its Old People's Home, Christian work in Its own Normal Schools. Each Conference has within its territory two of the State Normal Schools. There belongs to each Conference the care of its Retired Preachers. With very few ex ceptions it is an impossibility for the minister to make adequate provision for old age. The вате energy and ability and elements of character, which a large pro portion of ministers have, if used in other occupations, would give competencies or fortunes. One of the most imperative demands of the present time is a proper pro vision for Retired Ministers. It Ib now very inadequate. The support of institutions that belong to Michigan Methodism as a whole In cludes Christian work at the Michigan Stnte University, Garrett Biblical Institute, Michigan Methodist Orphanage, Bronson Methodist Hospital, Albion College. Michi gan is within the zone of service of Garrett, and should help to support It. Garrett must be greatly strengthened In the near future. 'For many years there has been no campaign for its help. To meet the demands for a well trained Methodist Ministry in the states around it in the great days of the present and greater days of the future, Garrett must rise to larger power. Michigan University is the center and crown- of the Public Educational System of Michigan. There will probably be lil.OOO students there this coming school year. At the very least probably 2,000 will have come from Methodist homes or direct Methodist influence. The responsibility of Michigan Methodist Churches for Michi gan University students is very great. The Michigan Methodist Children's Home is doing a line work. About 75 chil dren are now under the enre of the Home. Forty-two acres of land In a splendid location has been bought at Farmlngton. A building has been started which it is hoped will be ready fur use December ). The Highland Park House has been sold, but may be retained for use until the new building is ready. The securing of the large tract of land at Farmlngton means planning for the m-xt hundred years. There Is room for the expansion of great philanthropies, which shall do good be yond the ability of our imagination to gmsp. Every Church should observe White Christmas for the work of the Children's Home. The Importance of Albion College in the life of Michigan cannot be over-estimat 1921] REPORTS OF DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS 195 ed. In the near future its power for useful service simply must be very greatly increased. Vigorous and constant efforts should be put forth by all Michigan Metho dist Ministers to prepare the minds of our young people for a great strengthening of Al bion College. We hold in high honor the personality and work of Snmuel Dickie, who, has re cently ended twenty years of noble achievement as President of Albion College. We welcome John W. Laird, the new President, who, comes to a great opportunity for usefulness. We give him our greeting and join hands with him in the comradeship of service. The report of Bronson Methodist Hospital is for 15 months up to August 1. The net property valuation is $165,682.2«, an Increase in eleven months of $46,0i89.49. There have been 2,242 patients. There have been 40 deaths, a mortality percentage of slightly lees than one and eight tenths. It is one of the flnest hospital records in America. There were 1,583 operations with a mortality of less than two per cent. There were 399 births with a mortality record of one and one-fourth percent ; 290 medical cases with a mortality percent of less than one and four-tenths. This record is so good that when stated to a doctor of large experience he positively denied Its possibility, but was convinced by the records. The opinion of doctors as to the efficiency of the hospital is shown by the fact that 81 doctors have done work In the hospital and 117 have referred cases. In the spirit of Him, who said, "I came not to be ministered unto, but to minister," our doors have been open to people of any creed, or no creed. Twenty-one different preferences were given, includ ing 23 Roman Catholic, 13 Christian Scientists, Methodist Episcopal preferences were 28 per cent. Charity work has been done to the amount of 6,843.48 up to September 1. Only Almighty God can comprehend how much good has been done. 20,341 pa tient days of service have been given. The range of service has reached widely over Michigan. The total amount received from patients is $91,702.90. The total run ning expense has been $105,259.86. Without gifts a very great portion of the hospital work of this country would cease to exist. Gifts are needed for buildings, for equipment, for running expenses. We have made a good start in our hospital work in Michigan Methodism. September 8, a greatly needed Nurses' Home was bought, including land 264 by 66 feet. It will be called the H. B. Osborne Home, In memory of an honored physician. A small payment has been made and a deed received. Money is needed to pay for it and for furnishing. We need more room. For $25,000 put into an addition, in the first twelve months at the same rate that patients have been comtng in, we could enre for 1,440 more patients. Vegetables, fruit, sheets, pillow cases, blankets, old linen, larger building, money are needed. We are living in a torn up, disordered world. There is much suffering, many idle, wandering men, many broken homes, much social unrest, much class hate in the United States ; and our nation has the least misery, is the least disturbed, is in the best general condition of any great nation In the world. By the last census the urban population of Michigan Is 61 per cent, the rural population 39 per cent. 48 Michigan Counties — all rural —-decreased in population from 1910 to 1920, against a State increase of 30% per cent. Dr. Tigert, United States Commissioner of Education recently said, "The rapid urbanization of the country population Is a serious matter. It was the chief cause of the fall of Rome." It puts serious responsibility upon the Christian Church. The 18th Amendment is a very great advance, but there must be vigilanee and education and constant holding up of high ideals or the nation will slip back as many States have done in the past. There is much industrial unrest. The advance of in vention, of transportation, of manufacturing, congestion of people Jn laTge communi ties, making problem» of municipal administration and municipal housekeeping, the massing together of great amounts of capital, the creation of great corporations, the separation of personal contact between employed persons and managers and many lime* the separation of personal, contact of both workmen and managers from stock holders— ЛИ these things have brought about a set of conditions which are very difficult to administer with wisdom and righteousness and proper human sympathy. 196 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

There is massing together of worklngmen in great organizations. They пате as good right to organize as stockholders of a bank or a factory. The world Is facing a set of conditions in industry which are new. Human rights must be recognized and human sympathy felt In Industry. The great word of the world in government is democracy. Can democracy as a world program in government succeed? Can we manage for good the material achievements of modern times. It is an unsolved problem. The only hope is in the principles of living of Jesus Christ and in the power of life In His life. It is a hard time to live but a good time to live. What can save? Christ's program, and the power of Ills personality. His name is above all the names with which we try to rally the forces of progress and reform. His program! His power! His name! I know of a land that Is sunk in shame, Of hearts that faint and tire ; And I know of a name, a name, a name Can set that land on Are. Its sound is a brand, its letters flame. But I know of a name, a name, a name Will set this land on Are. November 11, n Disarmament Conference Is to meet in Washington. From 70 to 90 percent of national budgets has to do with war. The Army and Navy bills of the United States Just passed amount to at least $830, 000,000 a year. Such taxes em- harass everything. There are now three nations in absolute dominance of the seas — the United States, Great Britain and Japan. These three are the only nations which are building vast navies; and they are engaged in a naval nice, with mad speed, piling taxes upon people for that purpose at a rate never before dreamed of in time of peace. Shall war or enlightened public opinion, public conscience, decide questions between nations in the future? The first program Is barbarism. The second is Christianity. The Disarmament Conference is an effort to bring in the rule of reason and conscience in settling the issues between nations. November 11 and the days following are among the most momentous in their possibilities in the history of the human race. Upon the Disarmament Conference may there come the blessing of Almighty God. Preachers should preach about world peace. There should be much prayer in public and private for the Disarmament Conference. Senators and Congressmen ought to be made to realize that there is a mighty sentiment on this matter in Michigan ; and Methodist Preachers and the Methodist Church have a great responsibility. We use mighty forces. That supreme book, The Bible, stands out before the world with vastly greater power than ever before. Criticism has resulted in exalting the Bible. Why should anybody be afraid of investigation? The more it is investi gated, the more the fact stands out that the Bible has In It the life and plans of God. It is a safe guide for ourselves, our children, our country, the world. Its watere of healing are spreading over thirsty lands. Christ Is the word in the word, the revelation In the revelation, the keystone of the royal arch of the Scriptures. What sort of a God Is God? He is a Christlike God. "The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord." The Church is not founded on Peter. It is not founded on sets of credal state ments. It is not founded on any form of organization, or any ritual customs. Other foundation can no man lay for a life or for a church of Christ than is laid, which Is Jesus Christ. It Is imperfect; for human beings compose It. Shameful things have been done In its name. But there has been in It a mighty power. It has in spired many thousands of men and women, at the sacrifice of all worldly Interests, and often under circumstances of extreme discomfort or danger, to devote their en tire lives to the single object of assuaging the sufferings of humanity. It has cov ered the globe with countless Institutions of mercy absolutuoly unknown In the whole pagan world. It has Indlssolubly united in the minds of men the idea of supreme goodness with that of active and constant benevolence. The Church Is a supreme blessing to the world. To live in it and to serve it Is worthy of the noblest human powers. 1921] REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND AGENTS 197

The work of the Minister in his community Is helping to send out the Gospel of Christ which is the hope of the world. We are in a moving world. World re construction Is going on. Never In the history of the human race have world forces so flowed together as now. Many schemes of reconstruction are put forth. It is the opportunity of the age» for a world program of life. A Minister in his com munity deala with forces which reach over the world. Jesus must reign. He Is the world's hope. Our God is a vast God. It is not strange that Jonathan Edwards, as he filled his great soul with thoughts of God's powers and nature and character, was called a God-Intoxicated man "Put on God's armour for we have to struggle not with blood and flesh, but with the Angelic rulers, the Angelic Authorities, the potentates of the dark present, the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly sphere." The issues involved are not community or state or national or world Issues only, great as these are. We Ministers are dealing with the destinies of Immortal souls. It Is ours to cooperate with the eternity long program of the Infinite God. The Book of .Revelation was written to meet a great need of the church. Its message lasts through the centuries. There was dreadful persecution in the first cen tury. Tumults, suffering, horrors were upon the Christians. The Seer of Patmos looked above and beyond the storm and stress and saw Christ upon the throne of the ages. He wrote "I see a new earth." In his vision he looked into heaven and saw ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands around the throne saying with a loud voice "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing." It is a vision of the time when the whole earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the Lord. He saw a conqueror riding upon a white horse, whose name was King of Kings and Lord of Lords ; and he had on his head many crowns. It is a vision of men and women of social prestige, of business, of professions, of government bringing crowns for Jesus Christ. There are mighty forces in the sky and on the sea and under the sea and on the earth and under the earth— the forces of mines and forests and and fields and electricity. The Peer of Patmos heard and wrote, "Every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea and all that are In them heard I saying Blessing and honor and glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever." Noble and ennobling is the program of bringing the world with its people, its social conditions, its business, its government, all Its resources to our Christ that he may reign as Saviour and Lord. To us Ministers of the Michigan Conference . Is given a share In the glorious enterprise ; and may there come to us a share in the blessed and eternal reward.

REPORT OF THE MICHIGAN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE PUBLISHING COMPANY FOR YEAR ENDING SEPTEMBER Î, 1921.

To the Michigan Annual Conference : Dear Brethren : The Board of Trustees of the Michigan Christian Advocate Publishing Company, through Ив President and Secretary, renders you an account of Its stewardship. In view of the situation which confronted the Advocate a year ago, and the critical season of business and agricultural depression and non-employment through 1921] REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND AGENTS 199

which the country has been passing, our enterprise is to be congratulated upon the record of the year. We seem to have weathered safely a crucial period, with the future most hopeful. Dr. William H. Phelps assumed the editorship October 1, last. With his un swerving loyalty to and love for our great church In Michigan, his versatility and resourcefulness, his original thought and trenchant pen, he has fully maintained the traditions of the Advocate and strengthened Its hold upon its constituency. It is safe to say that the paper has never been more generally or enthusiastically popular with our people than now. In the matter of circulation a most energetic and unremitting campaign has been carried on through the year, as our pastors can testify. The net result Is an Increase of 805 in the Advocate circulation, which now stands at 19,147. The Michigan Conference has enlarged its lists from 7,020 to 8,388, a gain of 778. The Detroit Conference has fallen off from 9.S44 to 9,789, decrease of 45, but still holds the lead by 1,401. The remaining gain Is outside of Michigan. While the net gain is not as large as the editors had hoped for, in view of the efforts put forth, it Is by no means discouraging to have held our own at such a time. Our pastors gen erally have loyally co-operated, and many have done exceptionally well. The "Ionia Plan" or similar methods have placed the Advocate In practically every Methodist home at Ionia, Mt. Pleasant, Itengal, Otsego, Lake Odessa, Grand Ledge, Fremont, Elsie and Muskegon Heights, Michigan Conference ; Iron Mountain, Mackinaw City, Rose City, Swart» Creek, St. Mark's, Detroit, and Wyandotte, Detroit Conference. Many other churches have also done exceptionally well. We are persuaded that if the Ionia or some such plan could be more widely adopted, It would increase the Advocate circulation immensely. A study of the subscription lists by churches, which the Advocate has lately published, must convince every thoughtful person that in multitudes of our charges a determined effort would double the circula tion of the Advocate, while there are few places where a substantial gain could not be made. Following Is a summary of the financial report fur the year ending Sept. 1 1921 :

$5S,431.44 200 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

Besides above we have $5,347.57 In savings bank, and paper on band, bills receivable and other resources which bring total available assets to $10,709.96. It is believed that these and other sources of revenue for the remaining months of the calendar year will take care of the expenses. However, to avoid borrowing tempor arily, It will be necessary to gather in all that Is possible on subscriptions, both past due and in advance. At the close of the last Conference sessions the Advocate was faced with en ormous prices for the next year's paper supply — double those of the previous year, and more, besides a big increase In printers' bills. Had the esrtreme cost of paper continued, It would have been Impossible to avoid a deficit of $8,000 to $10,000. Fortunately for the Advocate prices dropped, gradually, and to such an extent that on a car just ordered the price will be less than on last year's supply. Another material source of revenue has been found In the outside or commercial work done for Detroit printers on our Linotype machine. This for the year, as above reported, has amounted to a considerable sum. The earnings on this work since January 1 have totaled abount $1,000.00 net. So much of this outside patron age has come to us, that №e one Linotype was unable to do It all, and in June the Board of Trustees authorized the purchase of another machine, which was installed August 1, at a cost of $4.500. Our Liberty Bond of $500 was turned In on this al face value, with other small cash payment. The amount still due on this new equipment Is payable in monthly Installments which can be readily taken care of by the earnings on outside work, which should also materially Increase our revenues. On our printing contract, also, we are assured of a material reduction In charges after October 1. On the whole, the outlook for the Advocate next conference year Is very en couraging. It will continue to "carry on," with such advance and improvements as the Increased support of our constituency, which we bespeak, will warrant.

Respectfully submitted, For the Board of Trustees, Michigan Christian Advocate Publishing Co. (¡Signed) HUGIH KENNEDY. President. (Signed) ELMER ИОП8НВ, Secretary. September 1, 1921.

BRONSON METHODIST HOSPITAL.

The Bronson Methodist Hospital presents a 'report for its first fifteen months, from May 1, 1920, to August 1, 1921. The financial year is changed to begin Augu-t 1, In order to have reports as nearly as possible up to the Annual Conferences. During thi> firteen months there were 2,242 patients in the Hospital, 1.5S3 surgical cases, 399 births, 240 medical cases. There have been 20,341 patient days of service. Eighty-one physicians have done work in the Hospital. One hundred seventeen physicians have referred cases. This shows the estimate physicians place upon the work of our Hospital. Comparative hospital statistics show that our record Is among the very best In America. The Hospital follows the program of the Brooklyn Methodist Hospital, the mother of all American Methodist Hospitals In receiving people of any race, any creed, or no creed. There have been people of 21 religious denominations including 25 Roman Catholics and 13 Christian Scientists, many of no denomination. About 28 per cent have given their preference as Methodist. We work in the spirit of Him who said. "I am among you as He that serveth." No person has been turned away from the Hospital for lack of money. Many who sought admittance have been denied for lack of room. Twenty -five thousand dollars would build an addition, which would care for 1,4-10 patients in a year. A new Nurses Home, which was greatly needed, has Just been bought with a 1921] REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND AGENTS 201 small payment down. We need money to furnish and pay for It. In connection with this purchase we obtained a piece of ground 264x60 feet, which joins one of our Nurses Homes. The Hospital needs canned and fresh fruit and vegetables, sheets, pillow cases, all sorts of hospital supplies, a larger hospital, money for maintenance, charity, building, endowment. The churches are responding finely to this new Michigan Philanthropy. Five hundred three churches have given something towards the support of the Hospital. The Upper Peninsula District ranks sixth in Hospital support among the 13 districts. It cast about $900 per month, for running expenses, to care for these 2,242 patients besides what has come from patients' fees. Of this $0,893.48 has been for charity. Four hundred dollars per month or $0,000 has been charged to depreciation. Hos pitals are supported by taxes, .fees from patients, gifts. Without gifts most hospitals would not exist. The real estate holdings now are : On the east side of John Street there is land 192x99 feet, on which stands the Hospital Building and the small park where patients are taken in wheelchairs on pleasant days ; and joining this, on the north, Is land ЭЗхЗО feet on which stands the School Building; on the west side of John Street Is land 64 feet in width, which reaches west 130 feet, then north 204 feet with another frontage of 66 feet on Lovell Street. On this are the two Nurses Homes. The land holdings have been nearly doubled within the past two weeks. This gives room for a great future. The net property increase in one year is over $46,000.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE DEACONESS BOARD TO THE MICH IGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE. 1921.

Excellent reports of the work done by the deaconesses employed In the con ference have been received. All have served for the entire year In the fields to which they were appointed except Mrs. Ella C. Hartshorn who was appointed to Alma for three months, but served for ten and then, on account of financial stress, was re leased for the remaining two months for other service. Last year we reported the opening of an Esther Home for girls in connection with our deaconess work. We are glad to report that this work has made splendid progress. During the first year we cared for eighty-six different girls. The largest number for which we can care at one time Is twenty-eight. Most of the time our rooms have been full, and much of the time we have had girls on the waiting list. We feel that this is one of the Important Unes of the work of the church in our conference, and that It deserves the hearty co-operation not only of the W. H. M. S. ladles, under whose direction it is conducted, but of the entire church. At their May meeting, the Conference Board, W. H. M. S., took action to separate the Esther Home work from the Deaconess work in its management and operation, though it continues to be housed In the Deaconess Home. This did not involve any change in property interests, however, and the name Aldrich Deaconess and Esther Home Is retained. The diaconesses will continue to live In the Home. This work is con ducted on a self-supporting basis after the building and equipment have been provided. We ought to enter upon a campaign to provide candidates for deaconess work, as there seems to be no question that many new fields would lie asking for deaconess service If deaconesses were available. To this end we wish to ask every pastor In Michigan Conference to put the superintendent in touch with consecrated young women of character, personality and fitness that they may be given opportunity to enlist in this service which promises so much for the Church and Kingdom interests. A committee has been appointed, consisting of Bishop Henderson, Mrs. Hartshorn and R. E. Mender to promote recruiting of candidates for deaconess work. The statistical report shows among other facts the following: 10,340 calls made, 5.477 pieces of literature distributed including 44 Bibles and Testaments, 383 meet ings conducted or addressed, 1,306 letters written, 64 persons nursed, 1,415 persons •202 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

helped by the Travelers' Aid, an aggregate of 8,744 taught In Sunday School and 1S52 in Junior League besides probationers' classes, Bible and Mission Study classes and classes In sewing, kitchen, garden, chorus work, etc. and club work for boys ami girls. In one of our most difficult fields for community work three Bulgarians have joined the Methodist Brotherhood, Community Is'Ights have been conducted in one field with good success, and many other valuable activities have been conducted which cannot be mentioned in so brief a report. The following budget was adopted and the conference Is requested to make pro vision for this amount through its regular channels and to spread it as a conference Benevolence among the churches : iSupport of Travelers' Aid, $425,00 ; Support of Superintendent, $400.00 ; Treveling expenses of Superintendent, $100.00 ; Moving ex pense of deaconesses. $50.00 ; Sick Benefit, $500.00 ; Permanent Deaconess Fund. $150.00; Promotion Fund, $225.00, making a total appropriation requested of $2,000.00. Miss Leah Belle Lyman, who has been on leave of absence, was returned to the effective list. Miss Zoa L. Mitche'.I was granted leave of absence to attend school. Miss Bertha M. Clark was continued on leave of absence. Miss I/aura II. Gamble and Miss E. Pearl Swank were granted leave of absence for health reasons, to con tinue through the year or until such time as they may be able to return to work. Miss Marie Flakes and Miss Lucy Brooks were elected as associate deaconesses. The deaconesses were appointed to their fields of service as follows : {Superintendent Deaconess Home and Conference Field Secretary, W. H. M. S., Mrs. Ella С Hartshorn, 52« Lyon St.,

FIELD SECRETARY CONFERENCE CLAIMANT FUND.

Since my last annual report I have spoken In fifty churches of our Conference in the interest of our retirement fund. The office and administrative work has exceeded any previous year of my service in this office. Two foreclosure proceedings have been started this year for overdue mortgages and unpaid Interest, In one of which cases the money has been fully recovered, while the other Is still In process. A third case now demands Immediate action. These proceedings are taken with regret, as a last resort to save our property. Worthless notes to the amount of $1,144.00 have been charged off to profit and loss this year. But notwithstanding these eliminations, our book assets at the present time are $228,18.4.3», being $0,302 larger than last year. Our real estate mortgagee have increased $7,502 over last year. The profits from the Mills farm last year were exceptionally large, but owing partially to small crops and low prices, and partially to change in wny of accounting crops, the procecdH for distribution this year fall considerably below last year. In all matters unrelated to our farm, this year has been exceptionally good for our fund. The present apple crop Is promising, our confident expectations being for over $3,500.00, our half of which will be available for distribution next year. Ou the other baud, receipts of new money, the recovery on old notes, the addi tion of real estate, the exceptionally large amount of Interest collected, with the Increase from other sources, we shall as a conference, be able to make a creditable showing, considering the present commercial depression. Our interest collections this year, notwithstanding the hard times, were $1,300.00 more than last year, and $800.00 more than In any previous year. We have re 1921] REPORTS OF COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND AGENTS 203

oelved In new assets this Conference year the sum of $11,330.00, the net gain being $6,302. During the year, the house and lot In Hillsdale, known as the "Reynolds property," has come into our possession, and has been sold on contract for $1,600.00, anil added to our assets. The cash paid in by the preachers on the one per cent claim on salary aggregates to date the sum of $2,570, which is considerably in excess of last year's report. I appeal to all our brethren to rise to the noble duty and privilege of paying this claim promptly and hilariously. It Is with regret that I announce that our efficient Treasurer, Mr. Claire Gibson, is unable to serve us longer. He has been a most competent, painstaking, prompt, and gracious treasurer, who took a personal Interest In our fund, and whose p'.ace will be difficult to Ш1. I-OUIS DELAMARTER.

EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FIELD SECRETARY OF THE SUPPLY PASTOR'S ENDOWMENT FUND.

After eight years of gathering for a pension fund for our supply men, I fully believe no enterprise of the Kingdom appeals more strongly to the heart of our Church than the needs of our retired Ministers. The flnaneinl depression has hit all classes, yet notwithstanding this has been the most fruitful year of the eight. Prospects are good for new legislation at the next General Conference, by which our supply men will be cared for in the regular fund. In that case the funds in our Conference may be united. We are finding a number of people with moderate means who are Interested in Estate Olfts. One elect lnily who had previously given one thousand dollars as a memorial for her mother has this year given an additional thousand. Another father and mother who had lost by death their only child, a daughter, gave one thousand dollars as a memorial for her. Pastors will do their people as well as the church a splendid service by directing those In positions to make Estate Gifts to some one of the many worthy enterprises for the Kingdom. We have received In cash and new pledges this year, $11,056.00 and $3,861.00 has been paid In cash. The Treasurer's report shows receipts for: General Fund $3,740.71 Interest Fund on pledges 1 14.39 Interest on Mortgages 649.62

Grand Total Receipts $4,700.72 There Is now In the Interest fund for distribution at this Conference, $1,231.23. The following claims on this fund have been allowed this year : L. E. Holmes, $150 ; С W. Chase, $50; A. B. Johnson, $100; Jesse Bürge, $100; В. Silkwood, $50; W. W. Weston, $100; W. H. Holcomb, $100; Mrs. D. E. Wade, $100; Frank Seastrom, $100; Mrs. A. F. Spence, $50. Praying God's richest blessing upon all our faithful men who today are sitting In life's twilight, I submit this, my eighth annual report. W. P. MANNING, Field Secretary. Benton Harbor, Michigan, September 22, 1921.

REPORT OF BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CLARK MEMORIAL HOME. U" Peace and harmony, quiet anil contentment have prevailed In our Home for the Aged this year. Our Superintendent has done his work so well that our Board feel they could not easily replace him, and they ask his reappointment for the coming 204 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

year. For a like reason there seems no occasion for any change in the board of trustees. The present family consists of 50 persons, of whom the most aged Is OS. Four people in the house are past 00, and 24 others are past four score. The average age is past 70 years and six months. It is indeed a Home for the Aged, and a phi lanthropy of most worthy purpose. Seven residents have died during the year, whose average age was 75% years. Of the 50 residents In the Home today, 31 are life members, all women but three, and their average age is SO yars. During the year 70 people have been in the Home for the whole or part of the year, 36 of them the entire twelve months. The total residence during the during the year has been 55í4 years, with an average cost per capita, per year, of $302.50. This does not include income value of the property and investments, which would make the cost of main taining members of our family a very considerable sum additional. It is difficult to get sufficient competent help and it is necessary to pay much more than formerly in wages and for cost of maintenance, making it exceedingly desirable to have additional funds, and we desire to ask the Conference to grant us the additional sum of one-fourth of one per cent of pastoral support, including house rent, for the coming year, which would add about $1,000 to our Income. This would make a total of 1% per cent on pastors' claim, and considering the fact that this philanthropy is Conference wide In its beneflclence, that it is open to people in the remotest charge in the Conference, and also the fact that we are providing rooms and beds and board for 50 people steadily, and medical care and nursing for them in in their sickness, this is a very modest sum. We ought to add still further to our equipment, for a hospital addition is be coming so imperative that it can not be delayed very much longer, that we may separate the sick from the well sufficiently to lie of advantage to the sick, and also to the well. Your trustees are a unit in their conviction that we must have a larger equipment for this Home, and a larger income to support it. Respectfully submitted, J. С FLOYD, President of the Board.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON RETIRED MINISTERS.

Eighty-two men and 70 women have been on the claimants list in the Conference the past year, representing 3,581 years of service. This is a theme for eloquence to those gifted with it. But the most lofty eloquence would suffer shock and become silent In the face of the value placed upon It by the church. Last year it was $16.67 per year. In this Conference however, this rate, small as it Is, was not attained. Twelve dollars was the rate actually paid, about three and one-half cents per day. We recommond : First, All members of the Conference should pay the salary per cent established by the Conference. iSecond, The action of the Conference that permits the immediate distribution of this money should at a very early date be rescinded, and this money should be used for increase of the endowment. Third, All preachers should inform themselves of our annuity system and seek to interest members and constituency in it. Special reference should be made to the painstaking and efficient work of our Field Secretary, Louis DeLamarter. He Is at all times kind, courteous, obliging. Over the Conference territory he has gone Inspiring, perspiring, but never con spiring. He is of the kind that puts honor and dignity into the cause. His utter ances from our pulpits to our people give no sting, and our calling among the laity both by his presence and his speech is ennobled. M. L.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON STATE INSTITUTIONS.

Tour committee commends the work that Is being done by the educational in stitutions of the state. The Michigan Agricultural College has assumed a prominent place In the rural work of the state, and bids fair to Increase in usefulness in every de partment. The increased interest that is taken in the work of the rural charges Is a fine Indication. Our university also Is an institution of learning of which we may all be proud. Thousands of Methodist students are availing themselves of its opportunities. We appreciate the training they receive and are glad they may have the benefits of the abundant equipment and opportunity. We realize that in technical Unes they are abundantly able to give it the best. It seems to us however, that the benefits from these special schools would be just as great if the foundation could be laid in our own denominational college. There are several reasons why this should be. First, The cost of attending one of our schools is not so great and there would be considerable economy In taking the first year or two in a smaller Institution. ■Second, Our great state institutions are already overcrowded and the situa tion might in this way be greatly relieved. Third, The moral and spiritual life of the young people would have reached a place of greater strength and their ability to resist the Influences that undermine and mislead would be greatly Increased. We wish that the sons and (laughters of our ministers could all take their early college years in our own institution and we believe that they would be a great In fluence in leading all our young people to make a solider foundation even though they purpose finally to pursue some specialized course. If such could be the case we feel that the result would be that many would be conserved to the vital things of faith who because they are not well founded are re turned to their homes with faith impaired.

THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.

Whereas the task of training our young people In the ideals of Christianity, and their expression in service is the guarantee of the future of the church, and Whereas the last General Conference recognized the Epworth League as the effective agent for the accomplishment of this task by establishing It in a co-ordinate relation with the other Boards of the church, be it Resolved, That the members of the Michigan Annual Conference pledge our hearty cooperation in the promotion of the full League program, as follows : 1. Training in Christian Stewardship. 2. Evangelization of the young people. 3. Provision for health, recreation and wholesome amusements. ¡4. The institution of the 21 hour a day League for the financing of the League program. THOS. G. K. BROWXLOW. L. B. NILES. IF. G. WRIGHT. 206 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921 EVANGELISM.

We desire to express our gratitude to Almighty God for the successes of the past year In evangelistic effort, and the Increased evnngellstlc spirit which prevails throughout the churches of our conference. We hnll with delight the earnest and faithful services of our pastors and churches in sounding the evangelistic note. We endorse most heartily the morning messages of our Bishop on placing em phasis on the"Mlnlster as Priest." Also the suggestion that tue reward for work Is more work. We also endorse the spirit of evangelism among our young people as expressed In the enthusiastic message of Dr. W. B. J. Gratz. We recommend therefore the continuance of evangelistic program of our church. We are persuaded that In these days of Industrial, economic and social unrest our pulpit utterances should contain an earnest evangelistic appeal. We also recommend the preaching of our fundamental doctrines on the subject of repentance, faith, and salvation as evangelistic appeals. We further recommend as our evangelistic measure, "The pastor his own evangelist" and "The Church Its own evangelist.' May every pastor become conscious of his opportunity in making his church an evangelistic church, with an evangelistic message Is the Arm desire of your committee. Г. E. GEORGIE. J. H. BANCROFT. IF.

C, Nov. 11, 1921, Resolved, That our resident Bishop and Secretary be requested to express to the President of the United States our appreciation of his leadership In calling the Conference, and to assure him of our prayers for Its success; and that our pastors be asked to observe Sunday, Nov. C, as a day on which to emphasize some phase of the teaching of Christ on the problem of world peace. We hereby express our confidence in the leadership and activities of our Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals In the work of reform, and pledge our support to Its ever widening activities. We recognize the influence of the motion picture upon the life and thought of the youth, and we earnestly protest agnlnst its use for poisoning the public mind by a fascinating display of crime and licentiousness. We deeply deplore the subtle attacks on the sanctity of the Christian sabbath, and we will resist with all our power the forces which nre seeking to turn the sacred rest day Into a day of business, dissipation, and commercialized recreation. That we express our approval of the work of the Anti-Saloon League and will co-operate with them to secure the full enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment. Resolved, That we ask our Secretary to wire Senators Townsend and Newberry to earnestly seek early and favorable action on the Committee Report of the "Antl-Medlcal Beer Bill." We heartily disapprove of the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan, which seeks to en gender racial hatred and to rob the black man of his God-given rights and constitu tional privileges. Whereas, The Hon. Alex G. Groesbeck, Governor of Michigan. Is using the power of his office to curb and wipe out the lawless commercialized prize fight In our state, and Whereas, He has already declared that he will request the legislature at Its next seesion to repeal the so-called boxing law. therefore 'Resolved, That we, the Michigan Conference of the Methodist Flplscopal church, representing a membership and constituency of 230.000 in the Western half of the state of Michigan, hereby express to Gov. Groesbeck our hearty approval of his stand 1921] REPORTS OP COMMITTEES, BOARDS AND AGENTS 207

In the matter, and pledge him loyal support In bis efforts to rid our fair state of this blot and shame. Eesolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to Gov. Groesbeck over the signatures of the President and Secretary of this Conference. W. W. SLBB. C. J. KRUSE. J. A. DeG(RAIFF.

EDUCATION.

First, Be it Resolved, That we rejoice in the Increased enrollment in our educa tional institutions, and congratulate our own college on the Increase of 28 per cent In attendance already enrolled. Second, We recommend that the matter of time and plans for the raising of a million and a quarter endowment for Albion college be referred to the Area Council with power to act, recommending as our conviction that the campaign should be inaugurated at the earliest moment compatible with good business judgment. We also record our sense of need of a new girls Dormitory, and an adequate gymnasium. Third, We further recommend that scholarships be secured from the churches in our Conference to stimulate attendance and increased interest among the High school students of the constituencies where the scholarships are secured, thus relating them more closely to Albion college. Fourth, We rejoice In the selection of Pres. Laird and Dean Williams, and wel come them as brothers to our conference. Fifth, We recommend the work done Garret, Drew and Boston Theological Semi naries and at the Chicago Training School. We heartily endorse the appointment of Student Pastors and Secretaries of Education to assist in caring for the needs of our Methodist students in our state institutions. Sixth, We endorse the effort for a national Department of Education as ex pressed In the Towner-Sterling Bill and through our churches would urge our Sen ators and ¡Representatives to its support. T.

BOARD OF EXAMINERS REPORT ON SUMMER SCHOOLS.

Encouraged greatly by the increased attendance and the enlarged usefulness and popularity of the Undergraduate School of Theology for the Michigan and De troit Conferences, and by the most auspicious beginning of our Graduate School, and deeply appreciative of the financial and other assistance rendered by our Bishop and the Conferences and by the General Conference Commission, and with strong conviction of the yet larger place of Influence and power possible in the further de velopment of our schools, we present the following joint recommendation of the Faculty, the Student Body, the Summer School Senate, and the Board of Examiners. 1st. [That it be the action of the Conference, in view of the value of the Sum mer S-hool of Theology to the students, and the moral obligation of attendance created through financial support by our Conference and by the General Conference Com mission, that every undergraduate student be required to be present, as provided in recent General Conference legislation, except when definitely excused by the joint concurrence of the Dean of the School and the Chairman of the Hoard of Examiners of the Conference to which the student belongs. Also that our members who have completed the Conference Course of Study be urged to pursue Graduate Study and to attend the Graduate School of Theology. 2nd. Thai the Conference respectfully request and urge each District Super intendent to give every attention possible to the students in the Undergraduate Course of Study on their respective Districts, ascertaining frequently whether such 208 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

students arc giving a reasonable amount of time to their studies, and positively and definitely endeavoring to secure a 100 per cent attendance at the Summer School from their respective Districts. To make possible this closer cooperation between the Superintendents, Hoard of Examiners, and Summer School, we recommend that the Registrar furnish each Superintendent early in the Conference year with a list of all men on their Districts who are in the Course of Study and the specific work each student of such District is taking. We also recommend as a measure looking toward larger accession to our Conferences that the Superlntendelts furnish the Registrar of the Board of Examiners with a list of men on their Districts who ought to be candidates for admission to the Conference, so that these men can be en couraged by the Board in the early and intelligent pursuit of their studies and can also be gotten to the Summer School. We further recommend that the Superintend ents he asked to give every possible encouragement to the Graduate Study and to the attendance of their men upon the Graduate School. 3rd. We recommend that the personnel of the Conference Boards of Examiners be selected with a view to adaptation for and specialization In specific departments of study and with a further objective of having only such men on these Boards as will best be adapted to serve on the Undergraduate Summer School Faculty as a distinctive part of their work and will be willing to render such service if needed for the full period of the Summer School session for at least two years of the quadrennium. We ask also for the selection of such men only as are in sympathy with and will give careful and painstaking attention to the correspondence features Involved in the plan of the General Conference Commission for the Conduct of the Course of Study. 4th. We recommend the Immediate enrollment through a special standing com mittee selected by the Summer School Senate of as large a number of men as can he secured to take up the Graduate Course of Study, in furtherance of such Grad uate Study we heartily recommend the new Graduate School held at Albion. We assure Dean Hough, Registrar Lacy, and the Summer School Senate of our loyal in terest in and support of their efforts to build up a great Graduate School. i>. We recommend that each Conference raise the sum of $400.00 for the Undergraduate School for the ensuing year and a sum of $100.00 for the Graduate Bchool, neither Conference to be bound by a larger pledge than is made by the other. eth. That the Summer School Senate be authorized to modify these recom mendations at their discretion where changes may be found necessary to bring them into conformity with the developing plans of the General Conference Commission on Courses of Study.

The subjects in which names shall be furnished shall include collateral reading, written sermon, and special homiletienl work as well as studies for examination. (b) Each Instructor shall pursue diligently, and with regularity and promptness, the correspondence method in the conduct of "required writ ten work." To this end the Instructor shall divide the required written work in each book or subject into from four to eight approximately equal parts as t lie subject may require. To the students who did not receive them at Conference, these assignments of work shall be sent all at once before October 15th, or one each month before the middle of the month, beginning with October and continuing until all assignments have been sent. Each Instructor shall return promptly to the student each in stallment of written work, when postage Is inclosed, giving criticisms, corrections and suggestions. (c) Each Instructor shall forward all grades on "required written work'' to the Registrar of the Undergraduate School of Theology at Al bion in time for the opening day of sold school. Such report shall in clude nlso the status of the written work of students whose work is in complete or entirely delinquent. Written work received after the con clusion of the Summer School of Theology shall be reported to the Regis trar of the Board of Examiners as early as possible and not later than the opening day of Conference. (d) Each Instructor shall, unless excused by the Chairman for un avoidable reasons, be present at the seat of the Annual Conference on the day set for Conference Examinations, and shall conduct the examina tions in his own subjects.

(b) Each student shall prepare and send in his "required written work" as indicated by his respective Instructors. Written work in all subjects requiring examination must in1 completed before the opening of the Summer School. Promptness in submitting required written work will count to the students credit to such extent as the Instructor may deem fair and just. If for any rca-on tile Instructor fails to get the requirements In written work, or any rait of the same, to the student within four weeks after due, as per section (b) under the head of "In structors," the studiut shall prepare such required written work or part thereof as outlined In "Directions ami Helps."

(d) Examination of all students shall be as follows. Examinations in all studies shall be taken at the close of the Summer School of The ology, or on or before the day before Conference convenes as necessity requires. Each student attending the Summer School shall be examined by his Instructors on the School Faculty rather than by the Hoard of Examiners. Such Instructors may allow oral examination or recitations to supplement written examinations, but these shall not be substituted for "required written work." Written or linal examinations cannot be taken in any study until all the "required written work" in such study has been completed and Is in the hands of the regular Examiner or Sum mer School Instructor. All "required written work" shall be graded by the Examiner and not by the ¡Summer School Instructor. (e) The students tlnal grade in any subject requiring examination, whether taken at the Summer School or at Conference, shall be arrived at as follows.

MEMOIRS

REV. JOHN GRAHAM, D. D.

Doctor Graham was a Scotsman born and bred, a fact of which he was very proud. Born within sight of Stirling Castle, in his veins ran some of his coun try's best blood. His early development was in an atmosphere supersaturated with traditions and ideals, religious and political of the very highest order, and must be recalled as we think of the sturdy personality amongst us no more. At the age of sixteen he came with his parents to Canada, locating in Oxford County. Here he became a Methodist and was licensed to preach by the Washington church. Here also he met and married Miss Hannah Cornell; a woman of great strength of character, poise and judgment, who became to him a pillar of strength upon whom he leaned heavily, and whose memory he cherished with characteristic tenderness to the last. He came to Michigan in 1869 as junior preacher at Cedar Springs; that fall he entered the Conference and was appointed Preacher in Charge. Next came Lamont, where he served two years. Then followed the full term of three years in Muskegon, Sturgis, Kalamazoo and Jackson, where a notable debt of Forty Thousand Dollars was paid. In 1884 he was pastor at Albion and the year following was appointed to First Church (Division ßtreet) Grand Rapids. Here he remained five years. Then came a tem- U 230 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

рогагу retirement, at which time Mrs. Graham died. A vacancy occurring on the Albion District, occasioned by the death of the presiding elder, Bishop Fowler appointed Dr. Graham. Here he spent Ave years, and was transferred to the Grand Rapids District by Bishop Vincent. Six years were spent in this office. He then became the pastor of Joy Memorial Church for two years. His appointment as Field Agent of Albion College concluded an active ministry of over half a century. The passing of John Graham from our ranks removes an outstanding individuality. Intense, sensitive, intuitional, of energy all compact, shrewd in a high degree, of utter honesty of purpose. He was a personal force to be reckoned with anywhere.

Born December 4, 1835 in Stirling, Scotland. Died December 24, 1920, Grand Rapids, Michigan.

By temperament and cultivation Dr. Graham was a preacher. To him preaching was a serious business, and the pulpit a sacred responsibility. His themes always centered in the great verities of the Faith. He labored prodigiously, for the most part writing in full and committing to memory his dscourses. He scorned the sermonette. Catch-penny puerilities, picture shows, and the like, were to him the abomination of desolation in the house of God. The recent emphasis upon the managerial and scheme producing function, at the expense of preparation for a message as ambassadors of God, in the training of young men for the ministry, gave him grave con cern. He was a great preacher. 1921] MEMOIRS 231

The neat, carefully attired, refined gentleman of the immaculate linen and white tie was no more in deshabille than John Wesley himself; al ways cheerily dignified and self-respecting. There was an inner correspon dence; clean hearted, the coarse or prurient word never formed upon his lips. His eye was as pure as his mind. His half century cycle of service was unflecked by even a suspicion as to his moral character. Long a Presiding Elder he came into close relationship with many of his brothers in the ministry, the great majority of whom loved, trusted and honored him. He had permanent friends all over the Conference, the quality and number of whom would do honor to any man. He was elected to the General Conferences of 1884 and 1904. He was a member of the Conference board of trustees for many years, also of the Clark Home board, the Deaconess Home board, and of Albion College board twenty-seven years. In 1888 Albion College conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity. Dr. Graham's religious life was not of the emotional type. God as revealed in Jesus Christ was to him the great reality. Here his faith was firmly anchored, and his experience had tested in many a storm of heart break and disappointment. Trust in God was the habit of hi3 soul. When, in feebleness extreme he came to face the last enemy, it was not with ecstatic anticipations of deliverance, for his was the normal desire to live, but in the same sane soul temper in which he had lived, he met the inevi table, unafraid. On Christmas eve 1920 he departed this life from his own home, sur rounded by his family, which consisted of his daughter, Mrs. С R. Wal lace of Jackson, his two sons William S. and James E. and his neices, Misses Flora and Edith Thompson. December 28th funeral from the house was followed by public services in First Church in charge of the Pastor and participated in by a number of his brothers of long fellowship in the ministry. Addresses were made by Rev. J. W. Sheehan and the writer. A temporary resting place for his remains was in the mausoleum of his long time friend Mrs. Emily J. Clark. Later, interment was made in the family lot in the beautiful Oak Hill Cemetery, Grand Rapids, where he rests side by side with his beloved wife. EDWARD GEORGE LEWIS.

WILLIAM M. COLBY.

For sixty years William M. Colby was a member of the Michigan Con ference, an able dispenser of the Word of God, a faithful pastor, and a successful winner of souls. Many are the stars that will adorn his crown. He was born at South Sodus, N. Y., Sept. 27, 1836, and died at Owosso, Mich., Oct. 13, 1920, aged 84 years. He came to Michigan when ten years of age. He attended school at Ypsilanti and at Garrett Biblical Institute. 232 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

He joined the Michigan Conference in 1861, and served effectively for thirty-four years, superannuating in 1895. His charges were Spring Lake, Lyons, Bellevue, Greenville, Palo, St. Johns, Pentwater, North Adams, Girard, Paw Paw, Cassopolis, Parma, Marshall, North Lansing, Richland, and Parma second term. He was thrice married: in 1862 to Rebecca Young, who bore him three daughters; in 1867 to Charlotte Taylor, who bore him five children; in 1909 to Mrs. Elizabeth Gardner, who, with two of his daughters, survive him. He was laid to re3t at Parma. "He was a man of great faith. Through the years of physical weakness that preceded death his faith was always strong. The atmosphere about him was radiant with victory. He had a winsome personality that made folks love him. He had the Word of God stored in his mind and heart and loved to repeat it. He suffered patiently, waiting for the pearly gates to swing open. God gave him victory here, and now he has entered into the victory land."

ALBERT LAWRENCE SPENCE.

Albert Lawrence Spence was born in Albion, Canada, Feb. 2S, 1873, and died at his home near Coral, March 3, 1921. He was twice married, first to Susie Adams, in 1S99, who died in 1902, leaving one child, George, now in the Phillipine Islands. In 1904 he was married to Asenath V. Brace, and to them four children were born, three of whom, with the widow survive. He was converted at McKinley church 18 years ago the third of May. Since then, though trained as a carpenter he has spent a large portion of his life in religious work in missions and as a supply pastor under the Methodist church. He has always given a good account of his calling and enjoyed nothing better than to be thus engaged. Financial stringency caused him to give up temporarily the active ministry but his heart was in it however and he eagerly accepted any opportunity to help pastors in their work. The funeral service was conducted from the Methodist church of Coral, the pastor and Rev. E. L. Price of Howard City officiating. The greatest tribute possible was made to his character when, in response to the ap peal of Mr. Price, several persons indicated their intention to square their life to the life of his Christ. Besides the widow and children there is left to mourn his departure his aged father and mother, three brothers and one sister and a host of friends. Interment was made in the cemetery of Coral. 1921] MEMOIRS 233

ALEX R. KEILLOR.

Rev. Alexander R. Keillor, born in Elgin Co., Ontario, Feb. 9, 1854, died at Boyne City, July 19, 1921. In 1880 he was married to Miss Emma Pierson, who through the years was a most devoted and loyal helpmeet.

Alex. R. Keillor.

The same year he was appointed by the Presiding Elder to the Petoskey Circuit. In 1881 he joined the Michigan Conference, receiving Deacon's and Elder's orders in due time. He served Petoskey Circuit, Norwood, Monroe Center, Saranac, Boyne Center, Lakeview, Woodland, Lyons, Boyne City, and Frankfort. Rheumatism, his insidious enemy commanded his retire ment in 1904. He returned to Boyne City, where he spent the remaining years, unfailingly loyal to his Lord and the church, and loved and respected by all. His life goes on, not only in that land he sought, but in the lives of those he knew on earth. His widow survives, to remember daily one who was a husband beloved. 234 MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921

MRS. W. HENRY THOMPSON.

Ella Louise Hannahs, the daughter of George and Amanda Hannahs, was born in Albion, Michigan, May 7th, 1850. Her girlhood days were spent chiefly at South Haven. She carried to Albion College an artistic taste, and a love of the beautiful, and at the college received a bent toward Methodism which remained with her. Upon leaving school, she was mar ried to Mr. S. Cartland. With him she lived in the Southland until his death left her a widow with two small children, W. W. Cartland, now in Canada, and A. T. Cartland of the Michigan Conference. Under the ministry of the late Rev. E. S. McChesney, she was led to Christ, and became a faithful and loyal member of the Church. On Oct. 18, 1876, she was married to the Rev. William H. Thompson, at that time a member of the Wisconsin Conference. In 1879 by transfer they came to Michigan. For forty-five years she most faithtfully met the duties and bore the burdens of a minister's wife. For twenty-five years she devoted her energies to assisting her hus band in founding and developing work for homeless children. During the early years over thirty annually were inmates of her own home, whom she with her own hands cleansed, clothed, and nurtured in preparation for permanent home life. Many children will remember her kindly personal interest, the advices she gave, her patient motherly guidance, and will call her blessed. Mrs. Thompson was intensely practical in her christian life, and like Dorcas was "full of good works and almsdeeds." Of quiet manner, un assuming, unobtrusive and somewhat retiring, nevertheless, was constantly extending voluntarily such sympathy and help as she could. During the recent five years she was a great sufferer. It was per mitted that she should pass through the fiery ordeal of pain. For some three years constant and intense pain was her lot. About one and a half years ago, relief from acute suffering was granted her, leaving her in a state of precarious convalescence. There were times when a transient relief became a transfiguration, illuminating the wan worn countenance. There were months of convalescence, during which under the tender care of her loved ones, she lingered, only waiting till the shadows were a little longer, but not for a moment did she cease to interest herself in others. On Tuesday, August 30, she expressed a wish that she might "pass away in sleep." The next evening she made two social calls, sat read ing a book until after ten o'clock, retired, and slept. In the morning of September 1st, she was observed to be in what appeared a peaceful slum ber. Alas! she was not for God had taken her. Without a struggle, or dis turbing a covering she had slipped away from earth to heaven. She is survived by her husband, the Rev. W. Henry Thompson, Waldbr and A. T. Cartland, the former in Canada; the latter in Augusta, Michigan. Leigh A. Thompson and Mrs. Maude L. Russell, Edgewood, Pennsylvania, George H. Thompson, Philipsburg, Pa., and seventeen grand children. 1921] MEMOIRS 235

The Funeral services were held at the residence Edgewood, Pa. The Rev. Dr. Sheridan W. Bell, her Pastor, in charge. The following ministers bore the remains to their last resting place at Woodlawn Cemetery, Wilkins- burg, Pa.: The Revds. Thos Charlesworth, J. E. Morrison, L. R. Jones, R. M. Graham, H. D. Whitfield, H. Headlee. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. P. J. MAVEETY.

MRS. WRIGHT BARRETT.

Mrs. Alice Upjohn Barrett, widow of the late Rev. Wright Bar rett, formerly of Michigan Conference, died at her home in Kalamazoo, Mich., Oct. 14, 1920. For several years she has suffered ill health, and had the devoted and efficient care of her daughter, Dr. F. Elizabeth Barrett, and her two sons, Frederick M. and Franklin U. She was born in Richland, Mich., Nov. 13, 1841, the third of 12 children born to Dr. and Mrs. Uriah Upjohn. Of an intellectual trend, she studied in Gull Prairie Seminary, Ypsilanti Normal and Northwestern University. Her devotion to religion was marked. She was united in marriage to Rev. Wright Barrett in 1862. She was efficient in all branches of church activity, occasionally filling the pulpit herself. Her whole life was useful and beautiful. Their early ministry was in Northern Michigan, among the Indians, to whom she was kindly attached. Strong in personality, high-minded in ideals, patient in service, she gave her best self to her family and the community. Besides her three children, one sister, Mrs. Mary Sidnam, and two brothers, Dr. W. E. Upjohn and Dr. J. T. Upjohn, survice her. The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, Dr. M. L. Fox, assisted by the writer. — Louis DeLamarter.

MRS. F. B. BANGS.

Mrs. Helen Bangs, daughter of Thos. and Eliza Swift, was born In Batavia, N. Y., July 12, 1835. When she was but two years of age the family came to Michigan and settled near Jackson, where she lived until her marriage, in 1862, to Joel Latson, of Eaton Rapids. Three ^years after the death of. Mr. Latson she was married to Rev. Frank Bangs, presiding elder of Lansing district. For two years , their home was in Lansing; then she went to Homer as an active, helpful pastor's wife; then to Three Rivers. Her husband's health failing, they built a home on East State street, Eaton Rapids, where they resided until the death of Mr. Bangs. Left alone, she took for companions her sister and her two children, who were then ten and eight years of age. She cherished and cared for them 23ö MICHIGAN ANNUAL CONFERENCE [1921 as her own children, and they In return loved and ministered unto her until she passed into the larger room, Monday, Oct. 25, 1920. Mrs. Bangs was a life-long member of the Methodist Episcopal church, faithful to all its services; a Bible student, and a reader of good books. Young people were her especial delight and she loved the Epworth League meetings. She leaves to mourn her going one nephew, Bert Green, of Detroit; three neices, Mrs. Wilbur Fowler, of Pontiac, Mrs. Glenn Basin, of Washington, D. C, Mrs. Frank Rose, of Saline; and two step-daughters, Mrs. Wesley Munger of Charlotte and Mrs. J. Gill, of Little Rock, Ark.

MRS. J. H. HOPKINS.

Ann Elizabeth, oldest daughter and second child born to Sarah Ann and Timothy Whiting, at Bath, New York, Nov. 19, 1836. Her girlhood was passed there except a short time in school at Lima. In 1857, her father moved his family to Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, establishing a permanent home there. The first Sunday for the Whiting family was also the first one for a young graduate of Alleghany College, James H. Hopkins, visit ing an uncle at that place. They met very soon and the acquaintance culmi nated in their marriage in 1859. After seven or eight years of itinerant life, Mr. Hopkins was called to a chair in I. W. U., and soon after that became Professor of Latin in Albion College. This place he occupied for fourteen years, subsequently teaching at Ypsilanti, until his health failed and he went to Florida to live with a daughter. The family removed to Denver upon the advice of their physician in the meantime and here they were united in 1902 or 1903. In 1911, Mr. Hopkins died very suddenly of apoplexy. Although not in the regular ministry, Mrs. Hopkins never ceased to be an ideal Minister's wife, visiting the sick, teaching in Sunday School, always at prayer-meeting, loved and consulted by young and old. She was converted when fourteen and so had been a Methodist over seventy years, when her death occurred May 19, 1921, aged 84 years and six months. Weakened by an attack of "Flu" in February, 1920, she was unable to attend church the last year. In January she was taken much worse and never left her room again. But her faith never faltered. May 22nd her body was laid beside her husband and daughters in Fairmount Cemetery, Denver, Colo. 1921] HISTORICAL 237
