J.B. Cain Archives of Mississippi Methodism M J.B. CAIN ARCHIVES OF MISSISSIPPI METHODISM M 26 CAIN (J.B.) Papers, 1892-1984 Page 1 The J.B. Cain Archives of Mississippi Methodism was dedicated in October, 1982, in honor of the Rev. John Buford Cain (1892-1984). A graduate of Millsaps College, Rev. Cain received his M.A. in church history from Emory University. During more than sixty-five years in the ministry, he collected and preserved books, journals, manuscripts and other records housed in the Archives. He maintained this collection with the help of his wife, Amy, daughter, Loyce McKenzie, and friends, in the Millsaps Library. He was an active member of the former Mississippi Conference Historical Society, and upon retirement, served as its Director of Historical Research (1962-1983). He was author of many articles, pamphlets and books, including The Cradle of Methodism and Methodism In the Mississippi Conference, 1846-1870. A joint effort of the United Methodist Church in Mississippi and Millsaps College, the combined archives are dedicated to his memory.

  • William Belton Murrah: President of Millsaps College and Southern Bishop in America’S Progressive Era
    Methodist History, 45:4 (July 2007) WILLIAM Belton MURRAH: PRESIDENT OF MILLSAPS COLLEGE AND SOUTHERN BISHOP IN AMERICA’S PROGRESSIVE ERA GERALD F. VAUGHN We live in an auspicious era! We live on a grand continent! In the mighty impulse that throbs in every department of human enterprise we may see the prophecy of more brilliant achievements than the past has ever yet recorded. But this prophecy is to have its fulfillment only when a thoroughly equipped scholarship shall come to the front and assert its right and power to lead in all great movements. W. B. Murrah, Inaugural Address, President, Millsaps College, 1892-1910 William Belton Murrah (1851-1925), one of the most distinguished Methodist educators and bishops in the South during America’s Progressive Era (roughly between 1890 and 1920), was an organizer and administrator rather than theologian. His life and ministry were dedicated to the growth of southern Methodism and he applied his organizational and administra- tive skills wherever needed most. So keen was his interest in higher educa- tion and so acute were his organizational and administrative skills, that he advanced the cause of Methodist higher education in the South more than anyone before him. Murrah was born in Pickensville, Alabama, to the Rev. Dr. William and Mary Susan (Cureton) Murrah. He graduated in 1874 from Southern University, then one of the finest institutions in the South, where he stud- ied not only arts and science, but also law and was a charter member of Southern’s first fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha. Alfred F. Smith, familiar with Southern’s reputation, wrote, “Throughout his student years he was receiv- ing not only the intellectual enlargement which comes from a study of the classics, philosophy, history, and all that goes to the enlargement of the mind, but sitting under the inspiration of the mightiest men in the denomination, he was also imbibing the spirit of the Church.”2 Among those scholars were Allen S.

Cott Elizabeth Jemison Protestants, Politics, and Power: Race, Gender, and Religion in the Post-Emancipation Mississippi River Valley, 1863-1900 ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that Protestant Christianity provided the language through which individuals and communities created the political, social, and cultural future of the post- emancipation South. Christian arguments and organizations gave newly emancipated African Americans strong strategies for claiming political and civil rights as citizens and for denouncing racialized violence.
