Resolution No. 8 Resolution offered by Rev. William E. Bishop, Rev. Richard W. Hall and Rev. Stanford J. Harris at the District Couference, August 3, 1967, at Union Methodist Church, Upper Marlboro. We are living in an ever changing world, a world that has brought us to new heights on the intellectual level, Distances which used to require a day to be covered are now covered in an hour. Fields which used to de- mand a month of the farmer’s time for plowing are now plowed within a week. Religious services which used to consume four hours are now held within an hour. In days gone by ministers used to preach two hour sermons. Nowadays, ministers preach veiy effective sermons in a half hour. Annual and District Conferences which used to last several days are now stream- lined to transact their business in three days. Whereas, cards, telegrams and papers in the time of bereavement are for the express purpose of extending sympathy to the family; whereas a number of uninvited and unauthorized and unnecessary speakers tend only to prolong and disrupt the unity and conformity of the service; whereas the wearing of hats by men at funerals is a custom of Judaism and not of Christianity; whereas, it is an obsolete custom and tends only to show disrespect in our modern churches; whereas viewing the remains at funerals is barbaric, unmerciful, and depressing to the family; whereas bringing into Christian service irrelevant and unnecessary services which should be conducted at some previous time by lodges and other organizations tend to distract from the purpose of the Christian service; Therefore be it resolved that the reading of cards, telegrams and papers, and that uninvited, unauthorized and unnecessary speakers, and that the wearing of hats by men, and the viewing of the remains be discourged. Be it further resolved that lodges and other organizations be discouraged in their at- tempt to conduct services in our churches; but rather be encouraged to conduct their services at some prior time and some other place. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Washington Annual Conference. WILLIAM BISHOP RICHARD W. HALL

Whereas the recent convocation on Urban Life held in the City of Washington, D. C. February 18-20, 1958 brought to the attention of the Methodist Church that Methodist strategy in the cities of the nation had not kept pace with the needs of the changing city life, and that as a result we are losing in membership and influence so that we must revamp and strengthen our strategy so as to hold our place as a denomination, be it Resolved, that this session of the Washington Annual Conference approve the appointment of an Urban Study Committee for the following cities of our Conference: Baltimore, Maryland Washington, D. C. Pittsburgh, Pa. Richmond, Va. and other cities where needed. The purpose of these committees will be to study the shifts and composition of populations, Urban renewal and slum clearance, unchurched communities and churches withm changing areas and as the result study and surveys suggest how our Methodist Churches gird themselves to meet the needs as presented by the revealed fact, be it Further Resolved, that the membership of these committees be composed of selected ministers and Methodist laymen who work in the fields of social case work, group work, health, housing, law enforcement, recrea- tion and community organization: also those members of the General and Cpnference Boards of Missio-ns who reside $thin the bounds of the said cities. These committees wll serve as adjuncts to the Conference Committee on Urban Life.

VI REPORT A DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT’S COMPOSITE REPORT Bishop Love, Members of The Conference and Friends: I preface this Superintendent’s Report to the Ninenty-Fifth Session of the Washington Annual Conference with a request that we express our heartfelt gratitude to Almighty God, The Creator and Preserver of our lives, The Giver of every good and perfect gift, for bringing us safely and triumphantly to another milestone in our Christian life and labors. The Master’s guiding hand has brought us safely along life’s highway, which prompts us to lift our voices and sing: And are we yet alive, And see each other’s face? Glory and praise to Jesus give, For His redeeming grace. What troubles have we seen, What conflicts have we passed, Fighting without, and fears within, Since we assembled last! But out of all The Lord has brought us by His love; And still He doth His help afford, and hides our life above. Then let us make our boast of His redeeming power, Which saves us to the uttermost, Till we can sin no more. His comforting voice has stilled the tempest on life’s unresting sea, as well as the storms that would rage within our souls. The leverage of His wisdom has lifted the obstacles and hindrances out of our pathway. His truth has secured our freedom from entangling alliances with the evil one. His mercy, grace and love sustained us in every trying hour. Because He has helped us, strengthened and upheld us with the right hand of His righteousness, we have been confident that His beneficent providence has attended us every step of the way. Therefore, we the superintendents rejoice with you in the privilege and pleasure of being .a part of this great fellowship, and for this opportunity to give an account of our stewardship for another year. Any praiseworthy achievements recorded in this report were inspired and motivated by the kindness, patience and administrative skill of the beloved President of our Conference; and the charming personality of his good wife.

Fletcher, Lay Leader of the Washington Conference for a number of years; Mrs. Rachel Carter Smith, South Baltimore District Director of Youth Work; The Rev. E. P. Moon; Mrs. M. M. Jefferson, and Mrs. T. N. Hodges. Evangelism The marked increase of evangelistic effort, with its gains of new members in our churches, and the resultant deepening of the spiritual life of those who have been members for some time, are evidences that the Quadrennial Emphasis on the Local Church are gradually being realized. Recently, a pastor received ten converts at a Sunday morning seece, which leads us to believe that ministers have not lost their effectiveness in preaFh- ing The Word. As a result of evangelism through Membership Traimng Classes one church received 17 as church members. A third church reported that their pastor baptized 18 and received 16 into church membership at an eleven o'clock service. Many churches report gratifying results from the Church Attendance Campaign and the National Week of Evangelism. Our ability to realize outstanding accomplishments in evangelism can be greatly enhanced by attending the Methodist Convocation on Local Church Evangelism, to be held at Uline Arena, Washington, D. C., July 3-6. Accordmg to a statistical record received from the General Board of Evangelism, the Philadelphia District of the Delaware Conference led the districts in the Baltimore Area in the number, of members received for the three year period 1965, 1966 and 1967. The West Baltimore District of the Washington Conference was second, the Chattannoga District in the East Tennessee Conference was third, and the Washington District of the Washington Conference was fourth. Quadrennial Emphasis In such a time as this, when we are plagued with racial and international discord, widespread adult crime and juvenile delinquency, the threat of an economic crisis, it was an act of profound wisdom and prophetic foresight when the 1966 General Conference adopted the plan for Quadrennial Emphasis with two major objectives as our goal: first, Local Church Emphasis, to guide us in establishing a more effective church, and second, to step up the plan of Christian Higher Education to meet the challenge of the contemporary struggle for men's minds, to make all thought and life captive to Jesus Christ. Those churches that have prayerfully studied and followed the plan for Local Church Emphasis have become stronger and more effective for good in the communities which they serve. Our institutions for Christian Higher Education and Wesley Founda- tions are the centers of Christian learning, ethical enlightment and spiritual dynamic, the assets so desperately needed by those who are to determine the destiny of our nation in the years ahead. Therefore, we support these sources of power so necessary to the realization of a better, Christ-like world with our prayers and our means. Christian Education It is imperative that every Christian comprehend the implications of Second Timothy 2:16-"Study to show thyself approved unto God, a work- man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing The Word of truth". Satanic forces are tough antagonists in the warfare to capture the minds of mankind. If the church would gain the victory in this conllict, it must reveal Jesus, The Way, The Truth and The Life, as the world's Saviour. Such revelation can be made primarily through Christian Educa- tion. The fact that we are making progress in Christian Education is assured by the accomplishments of the year ending with this Conference session. A Christian Workers School, sponsored by the Alexandria Dis-

5 trict of the Virginia Conference, the Reverend Roland Reddick, Super- THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 63 intendent; and the Vir@nia:washington District, the Reverend Edgar .D. Hall, Superintendent, is being planned for next year. And interracial facutly will be selected for this School. The Executive Secretaries of the two Conferences m11 work with the two superintendents previously named to complete plans for the School. Under the erection of Rev. Levi *Miller, Jr., Executive Secretary of Christian Education. in the Washington Conference, religious training and a better understaneng of the church and its program are making great strides. Rev. Miller is ably assisted by Miss Florence Wheeler in Children’s Work, Mrs. N. P. Perry in Youth Work and Rev. N. P. Perry in Youth Adult Work. The North Baltimore District was represented at the 1957 Conference Youth Institute by 23 delegates. Miss Beverly Hill, a senior at Lincoln High School, Frederick, Md. was recently named “Good Will Ambassador” to Turkey by Mr. Robert Zigler, eastern representative of Heifer Projects, Incorporated. Miss Hill served as chairman of the project for Calves for Turkey. Said Mr. Zigler: “She was chosen for her faithful work for the project and her potential ability to make a favorable impression on the Turkish people and bring back a vivid account of the trip”, Miss Hill is President of the Youth Fellowship in Asbury Methodist Church, Frederick, Maryland. She is also a member of the Frederick County Christian Youth Council, an interdenominational and interracial organization. The Annual Baltimore Methodist Leadership Training School, sponsored by the Baltimore Conference and Washington Conference Churches in Baltimore City and vicinity, has an interracial faculty as well as a mixed student body. It is an invaluable source for developing better teachers and leaders for the participating churches. Other Leadership and Christian Workers Schools, Institutes, Seminars were held throughout the Conference. Two workshops were held on the Washington District with approximate attendance of 260.

Woman’s Society Conferences on Human Relations were held during the year in Wash- ington, D. C., Pittsburgh, Penna., and at Sharp Street Church, Baltimore, Md., bringing us closer to the realization of Christian Brotherhood. A retreat for ministers of the Baltimore Area was held at Morgan Christian Center last September, deepening the spiritual life of the clergy and strengthening them for the task of winning souls to Christ. A Conference on Missions, held at Morgan Christian Center gave a better understanding of our missionary responsibility and increased knowledge of how to reach our objectives in this field.

Human Relations The Conference Women’s Society of Christian Service, Mrs. Olivia Betters, President, is doing a marvellous work in the communities, the church and, through its liberal and generous missionary program, throughout the world. It sponsored The Annual School of Missions in Warren Methodist Church, Pittsburgh, Penna. The District and Local Church Woman’s Societies have finished another very successful year.

Ministers’ Wives The Ministers’ Wives Association of the six districts have been working quietly, but faithfully and unceasingly, through the year; and will warm our hearts with the reports they make to this Conference. Lay Activities The Conference Board of Lay Activities is alert, and influenced this years increase in lay activities. There has been an increase in chartered t 64 THE NINETY-FIFTIrI SESSION OF Methodist Men’s Organizations. This work moves steadily forward under the leadership of Attorney Thurman L. Dodson, Conference Lay Leader, the District Lay Leaders and their associates. N. M. Carroll Home For The Aged The N. M. Carroll Aged Home, Mr. G. D. Rawlings, President of the Board of Managers, Rev. C. S. Harper, Superintendent, ranks among the best Methodist institutions of its kind. The Washington Conference Golden Cross Society, Mrs. G. D. Rawljngs, Director, Mrs. Mattiel Carter, President, is an important factor in contnbut- ing moral and financial support to the Home for the Aged. Building and Improvements New Parsonages were built or purchased this year as follows: Parkers- burg, W. Va.; McKeesport, Penna., on the Charleston District; for the St, Mark’s Church on the South Baltimore District; Emroy Grove and Upper Marlboro on the Washington District. A parsonage is under construction at Nottingham and Croome, also on the Washington District. A parsonage was built at Roanoke on the Virginia-Washington District. The Mt. Zion Church, Martinsburg, W. Va. recently renovated. Rededicated by Bishop Love. Mortgage burning and church dedication services for Buena Vista Church, Pittsburg, Penna. were conducted by Dr. D. L. Rideout, Admin- istrative Secretary for the Baltimore Area. The Hopkins Church on the Atholton charge was dedicated April 27th, by Rev. N. B. Carrington. The Social Hall of Asbury Church, Frederick, Md. was dedicated April 27th to The Rev. Ezra E. Williams, District Superintendent of the North Baltimore District. Bishop Love led the Dedication Service. This was the Asbury congregation’s expression of love and esteem for Rev. Williams, who was their faithful Pastor for 19 years. A new church at Libertytown, Md.-Rev. George Allen Pastor-is about ready for occupancy. New churches are under construction at Brandywine, Md. and Waldorf, Md. On the Washington District. The Hughes Church on the Washington District was completed recently. New Church Halls constructed-for St. Luke’s Church, ,Washington District; Church Hall constructed for Turner’s Station Church, on South Baltimore District. Cost $7,600. Randall Memorial Church, Washington, D. C., Virginia-Washington District, purchased a lot for expansion. An addition to our Fairview, Md. Church is nearing completion. Mortgage on Union Memorial Church Balti- more, reduced to $26,000.00. The Ministry A Conference on the Ministry was conducted in the Dodge Hotel, Washington, D. C. for the Central Jurisdiction last September. The primary purpose of this meeting was to make preparation for securing more consecrated, trained persons for the ministry. As we look toward the future, let us resolve to strengthen our minds, our hearts and our souls, that we may accomplish the work which our heavenly Father has commited to us, May we strive to “provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, Men of truth”.

The amount apportioned to the charges shall be sent to the conference Treasurer with other benevolences. This gives entertain- m’ent to the Pastors and their wives, lay delegates, retired ministers and their wives (except those otherwise employed), widows of full members of the conference, Conference Layleader and wife, Dis- trict Superintendents and their wives, field workers, students from seminaries seeking admission to the conference and visitors from other Methodist Conferences. All others shall pay at the rate of $26.26 per person. In view of the fact that Conference members from the western and southern parts of the conference’s geographical areas will be at a disadvantage as to travel to the seat of the annual conference, it is recommended that a travel pool be planned and instituted. B. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR 1958-60. 21. That a Reserve Fund be established in the Budget. This fund shall consist of unexpended balances from the Conference Benevolences and a direct percentage of the World Service and Conference Benevolences Apportioned. 22. Resolved that the Washington Conference, through the Commission on World Service and Finance, require a certified listing of all tangible assets, including those operated or managed by Boards or Trustees appointed by or with the affirmation of the Washington Annual Conference, with current cash values for each. 23. In order to comply with Paragraph 729 of the 1956 Discipline, the Manual on Finance of the Methodist Church and the Adopted Report of the Commission printed in the 1957 Journal Paragraph 14 section (b) and (a), and in compliance with the requirements of acceptable business practices, the Commission on World Service and Finance must and will require a copy of a full audit of Boards, Commissions, and other agencies not operating through the Con- ference Treasurer. Such audit, among other things, must contain the following schedules: (1) Receipts and Disbursements, (2) Balance Sheet, (3) Depreciation if any, (4) Comparative statement current with prior year, and (6) Capital assets if any. C. OBSERVATIONS 1. Continued support to the Lexington and St. Mary’s Larger Parishes should be based on acceptable justification by each Parish. 2. The Commission as a body and through sub-committees has worked continuously throughout the Conference Year. The Washington Annual Conference is a big and growing corporation which requires constant supervision and direction of its financial affairs. 3. The Commission is aware of the importance and necessity of a stronger and better organized promotional program. 4. The Commission is cognizant of its responsibility in cooperating with the Council on World Service and Finance and with the Gen- eral Board of Lay Activities in promoting and standardizing the financial system in local churches of the Conference. (Par. 809 of the 1956 Discipline). 5. The matter of wills and bequests should receive more vigorous emphasis on the conference and local levels ,as a means of increasing the income and thus enlarging the services the Church may render. I (Par. 145 section 12 of the 1966 Discipline). 6. The Commission wishes to emphasize the continued and increased use by the local churches of the Every-Member Canvas Program and individual member pledge cards. 7. The Commission wishes to emphasize that each and every charge - is to observe all special days during the year, taking an offering for the same and forwarding these Co the Conference Treasurer immediately.

REPORT E REPORT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION A Statement By The President A philosophy of Christian Education has to do with discipline of all life so that men and women, boys and girls, will grow until they measure to the fullness of the Statute of Christ. This is a high calling, and a noble ideal, yet it can be achieved if, in the words of Wm. P. Merrie!, we “give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings.” The General Conference has given the church two goals for this quadrennium: one, to strengthen the local church, and two, promote Christian higher education. These goals supplement each other. But neither will be achieved without the strong arm of the Conference Board of Educa- tion. Let us then go forth demonstrating a faith in our future, and by the help of God we’ll arrive. 80 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF I owe a debt of gratitude to each member of our Board, to the Executive Secretary and his Staff, to the Bishop, and his Cabinet, and to all who helped in any way to accomplish what has been done this year. The glory of our work is not in the past or present, but in the future, as we strive to become perfect even as our Father is perfect. KIRKLIN FRAZIER, President.

REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY CHRISTIAN EDUCATION The Staff The real strength of our work in this Conference rests in an unusually well trained and dedicated staff. Each member of the staff is a consecrated Christian and possesses a zeal for sacrificial effort that catches the spirit of the early pioneering Christains. The director of Children’s Work, who in addition to the many responsibilities of her office, arranged to attend graduate school at Scarritt College, has just completed all of her work for the Master’s degree in Christian Education. It is our plan to see her awarded this degree in May. Miss Wheeler has made innumerable friends for this Conference and as a result of her diligence and superior talents has established the position of full-time director of children’s work on a permanent basis. Notwithstanding the tremendously difficult schedule under which she labored, both in Nashville and Baltimore, Miss Wheeler has been able to help many church workers to grow in their ministry to children. The remarakable increase in the number of Vacation Church Schools and the observable improvement in planning and directing these schools stands as a testimony to her work. The conception and publication of the Reminder is due to her efforts alone. Many other services to local churches, districts, the Conference and Area and other Areas have been crowded into her full and overtaxed schedule. Her plans for the future are too extensive to be discussed here, but it can be said that this Confer- ence has more than benefited from the investment we have made in Miss Wheeler’s development. A new and more forthright approach was made in the area of Youth Work this year with the employment of a full-time staff member with the responsibility in this field. Mrs. Perry joined our staff and started right out to set things in order in the Methodist Youth Fellowship. She brought to the young leaders in the Conference a continuity of council and guidance which is hardly possible under purely voluntary direction. Many years of experience, as well as wide reading and training in Christian Education, has equipped Mrs. Perry to render outstanding service. Her offorts have been well grounded and she has been working constantly at the foundation- the basis of a solid Christian Youth Movement in this Conference. She has brought an open, critical and keen mind to her work. She has been motivated by a strong sense of the significance of human personality, especially with the encounter with the Divine. This philosophy has led her into interesting experiences with young people and workers with youth over a wide area of this Conference, in many other Conferences and in the Nation. She has membership on several Council of Churches Committees, Area and Jurisdictional Committees and on the National Conference of Methodist Youth, as well as the Planning Committee for the National Convocation of Methodist Youth. Just to recount the accomplishments in this field in the short space of one year ipdicates the remarkable asset this Conference has in a person so qualified in and dedicated to youth work. Mrs. Perry’s plans for the future are extensive and ring with challenge. Our beloved Katherine Lankford Lewis, who served so faithfully as director of adult work, was recently succeeded by the Rev. Nathaniel P. Perry. “Nat”, as he is affectionately called by all of us, adds a statue to our work which is recognized over the whole church. The comments of the THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 81 General Board members on his appointment were loud in praise. “Nat’s” knowledge of the whole field of Christian Education equips him to serve any position in the Church. His long service as Executive Secretary has resulted in a wealth of experience Upon which we have felt free to draw. Already he has got things moving in the adult field. His plans for the immediate future call for reorganization of the adult program among us and he has both the personality and the knowledge that will get it done. Our camping program is entirely dependent upon the dedicated service of Miss Alice Holt and her family who have stood by us in our pioneering in this field. Miss Holt has superintended the construction of our camp facilities and served as camp director for several years. Each summer she finds it possible to block out a period of time to help us with the several camps for juniors and seniors. This year she adds to these camps our first camp for older youth. Two pre-camp training periods have also been added to her schedule this year because of the ever increasing need for leadership in camping. We are ever mindful of our indebtedness to Miss Holt for her unselfish service to the Conference. Leadership Education For the last two years, we have been majoring in the training of leaders through our leadership education program. Our progress has been slow but good. We have cooperated in the integration of several schools in the Baltimore, Virginia and West Virginia Conferences. This alone has been a heavy task for our office. Committee meetings, Board of Managers’ meetings, planning meetings, faculty seminars and workshops have engaged us in many situations that might normally not be considered a part of our regular schedule. However, the results have more than justified the extra expenditure in time, effort and money. Schools have been held in every part of the Conference and several local churches have been encouraged to conduct schools. Our list of accredited teachers is rising steadily and we are fortunate in that 14 of our accredited teachers are recommended and approved for service in any Conference or Leader- ship School in the United States. Our plans in this field give promise of greater service in the future. Age Group Activities The Age Group Activities are discussed adequately in the Reminder which is the new bi-monthly publication of the Board of Education. Refer- ence is made to the April issue for a. discussion of these programs. The Conference Committee on Music The Committee on Music is a hard working group under the dynamic leadership of the Rev. Julius Carroll. There now exists a Committee on Certification and Training of Methodist Ministers of Music. The objective is to lift the whole level of musical expression in our churches and church schools by working closely with those who are responsible for this service. The committee is largely responsible for the Worshop on Music which is now a part of the Area Leadership School. Four of five members of the Committee on Music will attend the National Fellowship of Methodist Musicians in July at Boston University as members of this national body. Family Life Committee The Family Life Committee under the guidance of the Rev. Stanford Harris, has planned a Conference on Family Life to be held in Washington on April 25-27. This Conference is to be followed by District Conferences on Family Life throughout the Conference. The renewal interest in this field under Rev. Harris’s leadership is promising for the future. Present plans call for running a chartered DeLuxe bus to Chicago for the National Conference on Family Life in October. Conference Committee on Christian Higher Education The Conference Committee on Christian Higher Education has been organized with the Rev. Howard L. Cornish as chairman. This committee 82 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF is attempting to carry out the Quadrennial Emphasis on Christian Higher Education in this Conference. Already significant studies are underway in the field which will enable us to build on sure foundations in relation to our schools and colleges and Wesley Foundations. Our Board has assumed its full responsibility in working relationships with other Boards: such as Evangelism, Missions, Town and Country, Com-. mittee on Urban Life, Methodist Rural Fellowship, Christian Social Rela- tions, N. M. Carroll Home, Ministerial Training and Film, Radio and T. V. Commission. We have been represented in all meetings of these Boards and have taken in some cases more than our share of responsibility. Our efforts to do all of this in addition to the regular activities which normally fa!l.to us, have kept us busy in the service of the Church. For this we rejoice. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the present staff be reelected for the year 1958-59 and that Mrs. Georgianna Brooks be added to the staff as Director of General Church Work. 2. That the Board of Education study procedures for becoming a corporate body as provided in paragraph 1442 of the 1956 Discipline which states, “The board should be incorporated under the laws of the state (or all of the states) within whose bounds the Conference is located.” 3. That the Board authorize the Executive Committee to sign appropriate documents for the lease of such property which may be used for camping under the authority of the Board. 4. That the Board establish a special committee in Student Work looking toward integration of the ministry of student work with neighboring Conferences which have responsibility to schools in the same geographical area. 5. That the Board establish a special committee to study plans for salary increment, pension or social security benefits and withholding tax arrangements for employed staff. 6. That the Board of Education invite the Board of Directors of the Wesley Foundation at Howard University to relate to the Board of Education as required by the Discipline. 7. That the Board establish a committee on budget whose function will be to study the current and proposed programs of the Board to ascer- tain how they may be more adequately financed. 8. “hat the Board Treasurer make available to the Board office such funds that are available from the 1958 Rally Day offerings as soon after Annual Conference as possible. 9 That the Board recommend to the Cabinet the appointment of qualified Ministers of Student Work to the Wesley Foundations. 10. That Mr. Fred Z. Nichols, Mrs. Beryl Williams, Mrs. Emily Conway and Mrs. Harriette Wood be elected to membership in the Board to the places vacated by Mrs. Rachel C. Smith (deceased), Miss Florence Wheeler and Mrs. Clytie Perry, staff members. Respectfully, LEVI B. MILLER, Executive Secretary. THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 83 REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE CONFERENCE YOUNG ADULT FELLOWSHIP Bishop Love, Ministers, Officers, Delegates and Friends of the Washington Conference: The Young Adults of this cohference began their year of work with their Summer Young Adult Conference at the Morgan Christian Center, Morgan State College August 3-4, 1957. The theme of this conference was “The Young Adult Fellowship A Redemptive Group)’. Here we took a look at ourselves and our task as leaders and members of our local, sub-district, and district groups. Our goals for this year were: 1. To organize and train Young Adult Fellowship Teams in each District. 2. To find and to encourage younger young adults to join and take responsible leadership in our fellowships. 3. To encourage the organization of Y. A. F. in all churches. 4. To continue to support our missionary project (The United Church of Japan). August 16-18, 1957-Our First Young Adult Trip Camp: Young adults from the southeastern end of our conference packed their cars with family, friends and camping gear and traveled to Camp Towles, Grafton, W. Va. They were joined by the young adults of Grafton and other area friends for two days and two nights of camping together in true Christian fellowship. Today it appears that less than half of our churches have active Y. A. F. groups. However, much progress has been made since last year. The S. Baltimore district appears to lead with the most organized local church groups, the Washington district has moved forward due to the work of its crusading fellowship teams and sub-district leaders. The Charleston district is also moving ahead with the organization of fellowship teams; all districts have active fellowships but they realize the need for more organizations. Our young adults have received leadership training this year at the Conference for Adult Leaders of the Washington and Baltimore Conference at Churchton, Md. The Convocation for Workers with Adults at Buck Hill Falls, Pa. and conference) district and sub-district training programs. Although we have not reached all of our goals, or realized all of our dreams we are thankful for the morness we have made toward Christian maturity with God’s help and your sincere cooperation. Respectfully submitted, KATHERINE B. LUCKETT, President. CONFERENCE DIRECTOR OF CHILDREN’S WORE “They ask me why I teach And I reply Where could I find more splendid company’.’) These words spoken by Glennice L. Harmon, might be spoken by teachers and workers of children and adults in our Conference. Yes, where could we find more splendid company? You know about the many plans that you made for the Children’s Division in your own local church. You know what a pleasure it was for the teachers and workers to share with the boys and girls and be able to say to each of them, with pride-“My, how you have grown.” The fulfillment of these plans on the part of the church for Its children, helps to strengthen the work in the entire Conference. I We hold in our hands the destiny of our children; we determine, largely whether they shall succeed or fail. May me help them to have a greater understanding of God and His purposes; an increas.ed aFpreciation of Jesus; the ability to live with others; and enlarged re1a;tionship to the Churchi a 1 growing appreciation for the Bible; development in the areas of a Christian 84 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF - viewpoint toward life and an understanding of other people. If we wish to make our teaching alive and vital to the growth of Christian character in children, we must plan to guide them into many varied experiences in Christian living. What happens to them at each level of development is important and will enrich or impoverish their Christian living in succeed- ing years. Our Committee on Children’s Work presented recommendations for the new conference year at the March meeting of the Conference Board of Education. Each Minister, Church School Superintendent and Superintendent of the Children’s Division of each local church will receive a copy of these recommendations. If you need help in either of the areas, especially the summer program-VACATION CHURCH SCHOOL, DAY CAMPING and FUN IN THE OUT-OF-DOORS-please contact our Board of Education Office or your District Director of Children’s Work. At our meeting on Saturday, the District Directors pledged their whole-hearted support to the total program of the Church for its children and will be happy to help you. A Workshop: MUSIC IN THE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION OF CHIL- DREN will be conducted by the Department of Children’s Work at Sharp St. Methodist Church, Baltimore, July 25th and 26th. The registrations for this year will be limited to 10 persons from each District. If you have a teacher or worker in your church who should attend this Workshop; please send the name and address to your District Director or to our Office. You will receive detailed information through the mail about the 1st of June. Begin planning, as soon as you return, fox Christian Education Week and the beginning of the new Church School year. May we re-dedicate our lives to working with boys and girls in our churches and communities- (‘It was a sheep, not a lamb that had strayed away”-in the parable Jesus told. Please write me about Children’s Work in your Church and let me know when I can help you; I will be happy to do all that I can. I hope to keep in closer contact with our .District Superintendents and Ministers this year-won’t you help me? GETTING READY TO GO TO NASHVILLE The Dean of Students and the Professor of Music at Scarritt College for Christian Workers, my home for five quarters, have given notice that rehearsals will begin the first of next week. So I am getting ready to go to Nashville. At first, this was not a veiy welcome notice. I knew that the Annual Conference would be in session in Pittsburgh and I would like very much to attend and share personally my concern and interest in our children. But then I received a second notice giving detailed information relative to closing activities and the procedure to follow on May 29th at 10 a. m., as me proceed to Wightman Chapel. So I am getting ready to go to Nashville. It is strange how quickly one’s interest is transferred to this important occasion. I have talked with other persons who have attended their Com- mencement exercises from Colleges of this kind and I have learned that it is beautiful beyond description. The long hours spent in studying and planning for my work here in the Washington Conference were not easy, but when I realize that I will stand with my classmates and sing-Hymn No. 454-The Voice of God is Calling Its Summons unto Men . . . and Hymn No. 458-We Thank Thee, Lord, Thy Paths of Service Lead to Blazoned Heights and down the Slopes of Need; They reach Thy Throne, Encompass land and sea, And he who journeys in them walks with Thee and finally “The Scarritt Hymn”, I become more excited about getting ready to return to Scarritt. One of my friends, who is very much interested in Christian Education and has been a great source of help and inspiration to me, has had this same experience and will be sitting in the Chapel on Thursday morning THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 85 to witness my Commencement; along with my family and other friends- others I hope will be thinking of me and praying that I may know God’s dan and may have a hand in the Christian growth and nurture of our boys and girls, Marguerite Tuthill has expressed the unuttered thoughts and. hopes of my parents and Church School teachers in Freeman, West Vmgma, when-I was a little girl: Florence, We cannot watch you all the way, Holding your hand as we do now, To keep you from falling or from getting lost; Guarding your safety at whatever cost- You will have grown to adulthood in such a little day! Nor will you want our guidance anymore, So eager will you be to walk alone. May we be wise to teach you how to go, To look at life with clear, undaunted eyes; What things to value-which ones to despise; How to have courage in the darkest night, And strength for all the hardships you must know; Teach you how to love-and how to pray! Then, though, you do not have our hand to hold, You will have learned how to walk safely by yourself, instead. Because we cannot watch you all the way, Our love must throw its light far, far ahead! Thanks to them, Bishop Love, Rev. Miller, the District Superintendents, Ministers and Laymen of the Washington. Conference and the Crusade Scholarship Committee, for making it possible for me to have to submit the above report in writing today; because I am getting ready to attend my Commencement Exercises at Scarritt College, Thursday, May 29th, at 10 a. m. Respectfully submitted, FLORENCE M. WHEELER, Conference Director of Children’s Work Adopted.

REPORT G BOARD OF MINISTERIAL TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS The Board of Ministerial Training and Qualifications set out with a definite goal for this year, with the determined effort to acquaint all concerned with the requirements of the discipline pertaining to the ministry. A pictorial chart was prepared which described the “Steps into the Ministry”, as set forth by the discipline. The chairman led discussions on this phase and passed out individual copies to each minister present at the following Districts: South Baltimore, North Baltimore, West Baltimore, and Washington. It is the feeling at this report that much was accomplished by these informal discussions. The following candidates have been recommended by the District Superintendents: For Admission on Trial Ray E. Miller David Hillard Eaton *Harry Coleman For election and ordination as deacons - Theological Students Ray E. Miller *Harry Coleman David Hillard Eaton Approved Supply Pastors Creola Rice Janis Barnes Myrtle Travis Geneva Tilghman Viola Cannon Theodore Sembly, Jr. James Louis Harris For election and ordination as Elders - Theological Students William B. Meekins Rudolph Flood For election and ordination as Elders - Approved Supply Pastors Estella Brooks Clarence W. Govans William T. Lyles Ben jamin Franklin Ball William James Hayden Full Connection Rudolph Flood *The board recommends that a request be made of the New England Conference to admit Harry Coleman on trial, Par. 323 and ordain him as deacon, Par. 393, subsection 1, to accommodate the Washington Annual Conference. (See Par. 651, item 33). THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 87 Board recommends that the minimum educational requirements for admission intp the Pastor's School shall be that of a High School Graduate. Candidate will channel his request through the District Superintendent to the Board. Other items of this report are found in Section &Business of the bnual Conference. Respectfully submitted, W. A.

REPORT H REPORT OF THURMAN L. DODSON CONFERENCE LAY LEADER May 21, 1958 To The Washington Annual Conference In Session Warren Methodist Church Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Greetings : Your Conference Lay Leader begs leave to begin this his sixth report as the Conference Lay Leader by acknowledging his gratitude to Almighty God for the many blessings that he has bestowed and the success that has attended what feeble efforts he has put forth. I should also be remiss in expression of gratitude if I did not express to this Conference my deep appreciation and gratitude for the confidence which it has reposed in me. My prayer is that I shall always merit that confidence and preferment. Activities During the confrence year 1957-58, your Lay Leader attended three of the District Conferences, the other three conflicted with meetings of the General Boards of which I am a member. Your Lay Leader made eighty- one appearances before local churches and/or group conferences. In keeping with the quadrennial emphasis of the Board of Lay Activities, your Lay Leader his lifted up stewardship as a way of life for our laity. Your Lay Leader has constantly encouraged the Methodist Mens organizations and has sought to revive all dormant organizations which have come to his attention. The Second National Conference of Methodist Men There was held at Purdue University from July 19-21, the Second National Conference of Methodist Men. In my report last year I made an appeal for one hundred (100) men to attend this Conference. We did not quite reach this goal, but eighty-seven.(87) men from our conference mere in attendance. We were number eight in attendance from all of the Annual Conferences. Your Lay Leader has never seen the enthuiasm among any group of men so high as that which seized our group. It is my considered opinion that our investment in that enterprise will yield rich dividends in many of our churches where the men were thus exposed. Your response to this appeal was gratifying. Study Groups Your Lay Leader has urged the formation of study groups in the local church for r;ne purpose of creating an informed laity. It is my considered judgment that an informed layman is a cooperative layman. Much of the resistance we find in people is due to the fact that they are unaware of the facts. The Conference Board of Lay Activities will sponsor during the coming year a conference wide workshop on the Every Member Canvass, to be followed by similiar workshops on every District and sub-District. We deem it to he the responsibility of the Board of Lay Activities to conceive .

88 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF

and promote this plan of disseminating information, for the benefit o€ making effective instruments of each laymen in every charge on the conference. Ministerial Support Your Lay Leader has consistently urged the laymen of this conference to critically analize and reappraise the whole question of ministesial support. In the area of advancing costs we must not forget the ministers who are the poorest paid professional workers. This area now demands our most sesious consideration. My prayer is that the time will soon come when it will not be necessary to include this topic in my report. In my last years report I stated: “Your Lay Leader is imploring his lay friends to go back home and with your Commission on Finance and the Official Board re-examine the question of ministerial support and if it is not right fos the Losd’s sake, lets make it right. This advice is not alone for those who are substandard, those who lead can well re-examine their salary scale and add five hundred ($500.00) dollars or six hundred ($600.00) dollars per year without a single layman having to tighten his belt a single notch. Lets not pauperize our ministers.” Parsonage Improvement When your Conference Lay Leader assumed office six years ago he announced as one of his objectives that there shall be a bath in every parsonage. While there has been steady improvement in this area-I regret to state that there are some parsonages still without this facility. I call upon all charges which lack this basic improvement to immediately lay plans for an early installation. Church Builders Club The conference last year upon the recommendation of our Conference Boardd of Lay Activities voted to establish a conference “Church Builders Club”. A membership goal of two thousand members was established. These members would pledge to answer three calls in the course of a year for ten ($10.00) dollars each to be used exclusively for church extension within the conference. Because of your Conference Lay Leader’s extremely busy schedule for the Conference year just closing this Club unfortunately was not launched, It is, however, the intention of your Conference Lay Leader to launch this organization at this conference after consultation with the Bishop and the appointment by him of an executive director and the raising of a cominittec for the administration of these funds. The first call will be recommended for September 15th, the second call for January 15th, and the final call for Apiil 15th. It is the conviction of your Con- ference Lay Leader that we as n group have done veiy little in the area of church extension. This modest project would if enthusiastically received and supported divert a minimum of Sixty Thousand ($60,000.00) Dollars per annum in this channel over and above our other askings. Your Con- ference Lay Leader earnestly and sincerely invites your prayers and support of this venture. See list of subscribess to the Church Builders Club in Other Report Section. Lay Speaking We must train and encourage lay speakers. It has become apparent to me as I have travelled through out the conference that there is a many cause that an intelligent lay speaker sells which would be a dud, if left entirely with the minister. This does not have to do with finances alone, In the area of chiistian witnesses an effective lay presentation can have a telling effect, because we are prone to believe that the minister is a professional and has to be good because he is paid to be good. Effective lay speaking is essential to an articulate laity. , THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 89

Conclusion And so we now conclude this our sixth report as your Conference Lay Leader. M?Y I express again my deep gratitude and appreciation to our Resident Blshop, oyDistrict Superintendents, the faithful and consecrated pastors and the legions of loyal laymen for the fine support so cheerfully accorded me. I beg a continued interest in your prayers, your continued cooperation and your good will, for it is in that spirit that we may build and extend the Kingdom of God. Respectfully submitted, THT-JRMm L, DODSON, Conference Lay Leader.

REPORT I REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE SECRETARY OF MISSIONS Missions in the Washington Conference of the Methodist Church is more than facts and figures; it is a movement; a movement creating a desire in People called Methodist to make the Lord Jesus Christ known and loved by all people in all lands. To the furthering of this movement your Conference Secretary of Missions dedicates himself anew. Activities During the Summer of 1957, your Conference Missionary Secretary served as Chairman of the General Assembly of the Conference On Missions sponsored jointly by the Washington and Delaware Conference Boards of Mission, in co-operation with the Division of National Missions of the Board of Missions; visited two of the District Conferences, taking an active part in one of the District Conference Work Shops on Missions; namely, the North Baltimore District, and leading a workshop on Missions on the Sub-District level on the Virginia-Washington District. Both of these workshops used Local Church Emphasis Booklet No. 3. Recommendations In the light of the great need of Missionary Education and Cultivation throughout the Washington Conference, we recommend: 1. That the Conference Board of Missions petition the Commission on World Service and Finance for an additional sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for Promotional and Cultivation purposes. (See Paragraph 1307 in the 1956 Discipline). This money to be used in giving the Conference Board Chairman, the Conference and District Missionary Secretaries and other Missionary Leaders opportunities for better equipping themselves for their jobs. We recommend Silver THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 91.

Bay, New York as a Training Center for these leaders on the Conference and District Levels. 2. That the District SupFrintendents, Conference Board Chairman and Conference and District Missionary Secretaries meet in a Plannmg Conference within a reasonable time following the close of the Con- ference Session in 1968 to set up a Conference-Wide Program on Missionary Education and Cultivation, and that the time and place of this meeting be determined by the Executive Committee of the Board at the seat of the Conference after consultation with the District Superintendents. 3. That, if feasible, there be a District Missionary Institute in every district of the Washington Conference during the year of 1968-59. (See Paragraph 1302, Sub-section 2 of the 1956 Discipline.) Also, if a District Missionary Institute is impractical, then a workshop on Missions on the sub-district level.

4. In the light of Paragraph 1219 of the 1956 Discipline of the Metho- dist Church, be it resolved that the following steps be taken in those cities of the Washington Conference covered by Missionary Societies of overlapping conferences: a. That the Resident Bishop and District Superintendents approve the churches under their jurisdiction becoming active members of said City Missionary Societies; and b. That those said churches actively support said City Missionary Societies by financial contributions and participation in the annual meetings. Respectfully submitted, IRVING A. MOYE, Conference Missionary Secretary.

FRANK L . WILLIAMS. President C. S. BRIGGS. Secretary I. R . BERRY. Treasurer THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 93 REPORT J REPORT OF STATE OF THE CHURCH

Scientific discoveries, suspicion and jealousy among the nations of the earth and the fears of tomorrow create a condition not easily allayed. Despair, would seize the most conservative, if the message of the cliurch would go unheeded and the teachings of Jesus of no avail. Personal experiences, God’s message in the Book of Holy Writ, that “His grace is sufficient for all things”, serve, as a mighty bulwark sus- taining the church in all her efforts. It becomes a question as to the extent of the followers of Jesus, to witness and labor for Him rather than a matter of dependence. Alterness, confidence, sacrifice, holdness of speech, are nuggets of gold to be employed that men may walk with safety and not be afraid. How great becomes the interest of every man, women and child that the Kingdom of God may be established in the earth? The barriers, that separate, and make God’s children strangers, shall never be removed until our social life is infiltrated with a desire for an expanded Kingdom. The fulcrum, for lifting the load of sin, is the tool put in our hands for service. While men would seek for “outer space” in research, let the Spirit of the Church be, its concern about the depth of interest in the hearts of human souls. The State of the Church must not be one of complacency but unrest until the word of Jesus shall be a condition of permanency. Soldiers of Christ arise, And put your armor on, Strong in the strength which God supplies Through His eternal Son. Adopted. C. S. HARPER, Chairman.

REPORT K REPORT OF STATE OF THE COUNTRY The successful launching of the first artificial earth satellite; and the launching of the first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, foreshadows a complete change in methods of warfare and threatens the security of the United States and all non-Communist countries. Therefore much stress has been placed upon stimulating and improvlng science education in our country and throughout the world. The cost of living has steadily gone up; although, the number of unemployed in the Nation for the month of December was reported by the Government to be 3,374,000, the highest for any December since the recession year of 1949. Integration in public educatio? continues despite the disrespect shown for law and order by segregatiomsts. Medical research is at an all time high. Heart diseases still remain America’s number one killer. Yet encouragng progress in combating heart diseases was reported by research scien5sts. The FBI’s Preliminary tabulations reflect that all categories ?f major crime except murder rose during the past 12 months. The largest mcreaseg Were in crime against property-robbery, burglary, larceny, and auto theft. Statistics received from law enforcement agencies across the nation under 94 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF the uniform crime reporting program indicate an all-time high of 2,766,000 major crimes during 1957. This is 7.6 per cent more than the previous year’s record of 2,563,150 serious offenses. It is heart warming to note that the church membership in America has now passed the 100,000,000 mark. That is good news for all of us. But this good news is marred by the knowledge that: One in every 16 persons in our Nation has a record of arrest for a serious crime; there are 137,608 more alcoholic beverage outlets in the U. S. today than the combined total of churches, synagogues and temples. These outlets supply 4,712,000 alcoholics of which one out of every five i-n a woman. In the final analysis, there is only one solution to the grim problems that lie ahead and that is to let God reign supreme in the heart, in the home, in the church and in the Nation. EDWARD S. WILLIAMS, Chairman EARL DYER, Secretary

REPORT L REPORT OF THE COMMISSION ON MINIMUM SALARY The Commission on Minimum Salary submits the following plan for the year 1958-1969. The Schedule of Minimum Support A. For clerical members of the Conference, and probationers, who are giving full time to a pastoral charge, $2,100. B. 1. For supply pastors who are accepted by the Annual Conference and who are giving full time to a pastoral charge, $1,800. 2. Students who are serving pastoral charges shall be on the same basis as the full-time supply. The estimate need to execute schedule A is $4,000. The estimate need to execute schedule B is $5,400. Total estimate need to execute schedules A and B is $9,400. Maintenance 1. The Minimum Salary Plan askings from the Commission on World Service and Finance shall be an amount sufficient to cover the claims estimated by the District Superintendent based on the plan as outlined in Schedule of Minimum Support-A and B, plus an estimated amount for necessary Commission expenses. 2. If the amount received by the Commission is not sufficient to meet the needs of any given year, the Commission shall have authority to draw on any surplus Minimum Salary Funds returned to the Confer- ence Treasurer the previous years. 3. In order that the Commission may have full data by which it may determine proper allowance to the claimants on. this fund, each claimant shall be required to report to the Comrmssion the amount of all moneys from Social Security, Board of Missions, Claimants Fund or any type of retirement fund, All these amounts shall be included in computing the total support received. 4. The maximum amount appropriated to any claimant shall be $600.00. 5. If any charge has received maximum support for four or more years the Commission shall determine whether support shall be continued and in what manner. 6. Men serving as assistants to pastors shall not be claimants upon the Minimum Salary Fund. I THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 96 7. Within 30 days after adjournment of this Conference, the District Superintendents shall present their askings to this Commission. Those

accepted by the I Commission shall be certified to the Conference Treasurer by the Chairman and Secretary, which certification shall constitute the order for payments to be made quarterly to the designated ministers. 8. District Superintendents shall promptly notify the Chairman of any changes which would affect payments, so that the Chairman with his Secretary may order necessary adjustments, 9. We are asking each charge to raise, in full, its apportionment on Minimum Salary. 10. District Superintendents shall encourage the charges to work toward increasing the Ministers’ salary thereby creating a more adequate support. Special Notes Estimated Receipts from Commission on World Service and Finance 3% of the pastor’s cash salary...... $9,829 Estimated amount required to pay claimants for 1958-1959...... $9,400 Due to the fact that our Conference Treasurer, Rev. I. R. Berry, reports that as of March 4, 1958, we have paid out of our Minimum Salary Fund $2,190 with a balance of $19,384; and by the close of this Conference year we shall have reached our $20,000 goal; therefore, the Commission makes the following recommendation, that $14,000 be placed in a permanent fund and $6,000 be placed in a revolving fund. Respectfully submitted, EDWARD S. WILLIAMS, Chairman J. B. A. DPSON, Secretary

REPORT M-1 GOLDEN CROSS GOLDEN CROSS MEANS: “Kindness, Charity, and generosity in giving; Helpfulness and mercy in daily service to the unfortunate.” After the Annual Conference last year we came back to our post with renewed determination to put over a bigger job of Golden Cross in our conference, hoping to bring into the work churches which heretofore had made no contributions to the cause. We urged Golden Cross representatives to be present at planning conferences, district conferences, group meetings, and other gatherings where we might have an opportunity to keep Golden Cross in the minds and hearts of ministers and laymen. In October a leadership meeting was held at the N. M. Carroll Home. Representatives on the program included the Board of Hospitals and Homes, N. M. Carroll Home, and the Golden Cross. Rev. Levi B. Miller, Executive Secretary of Religious Education in Washington Conference, was guest speaker. THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 97

November was the month for Annual Enrollment. The Sunday before Thanksgivlng was observed in many churches, while others held Enrollment Day at a later date. Membersip $1.00 per year. Gifts are accepted, grate- fully. February, we attendec the Con-?ention of the National Associat!on of Hospitals and Homes which was held in Chicago, with a large delegation of administrators and leaders from Methodist institutions over the country. Much emphasis is centered around care of the aged, and much time was given to this subject. Golden Cross is the Church’s program of Christian concern for human welfare, giving each Methodist the opportunity to be a Good Samaritan to the unfortunate in time of need. M. EDNA RAWLINGS, Conference Director.

REPORT N COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN SOCIAL RELATIONS To: The Washington Annual Conference In Its 95th Session. Warren Methodist Church. Pittsburgh. Pennsylvania . GREETINGS : The Commission on Christian Social Relations has one year of experience under the unified plan authorized by the Washington Conference at its last session. We have been able to make a lasting contribution. in a more 102 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF tangible way, when we faced our responsibilities, and examined them in the light of Social and Economic change, Christian moral responsibility, and Christian citizenship as it applies to Temperance and World Peace. Our job has been to stimulate action from the Conference level to the local churches and other related groups (whether they be church sponsored or community sponsored) for desirable social changes that will have Christian ethics as the heart of any plan for the implementation of our way of life. Christianity and the practical application of such, cannot be separated from things that happen in our daily lives. If we are going to effectively stem race prejudice in our communities we must first prepare ourselves to face these issues on the local, national and international basis. The Meth- odist Church believes that under God we can ally ourselves with OUY brethren in other churches and become leaders in making the Christian gospel with all of its vitality a tremendous force in the communities in which we live. The Coinmission on Christian Social Relations constaiitly seeks newer and better methods to obtain better human relations. Any change for the better way of life is always accompanied by opposition emotional hurt and personal frustration. This is always necessary if personal growth is to be accomplished. During the past year we have been effective in the following areas : A. Social and Economic Relations-Mrs. Juanita Mitchell, Chairman. 1. Labor Relations - Worked actively against legislation on a national and state level involving the “Right to Work Laws”. 2. Housing- (a) Supported national housing legislation through letters, telegrams and personal visitations to Senate leaders and Con- gressmen. (b) Made surveys along with a private builder for possible 1200 units of middle income housing in the Metropolitan areas of both Washington and Baltimore. (c) Participated in two housing seminars. 3. Human Relations Institutes- (a) Jointly sponsored with the Baltimore Conference, Committee on Social and Economic Relations (4) Human Relations Con- ferences directly geared to the local church level. (b) Participated in two district level conferences for the Balti- more Annual Conference. (c) Participated in two district conferences for the Washington Annual Conference. 4. Civil Rights- (a) Wrote letters, telegrams and presented factual information to the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore on the Public Accommodation Law. (b) In conjunction with Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Zeta Sigma Chapter, Baltimore, Md., at its recent conclave .in Balti- more, induced the management of the Congress Hotel, St. James Hotel and the Altamont Hotel to offer public accom- modations to their delegates for the first time in the history of Baltimore. (c) Worked with the Baltimore Conference against legislation that would allow legalized gambling in Anne Arundel County, Maryland. THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 103 5. Race Relations- (a) Filled twenty-two (22) speaking engagements in the interests of Christian Race Relations. (b) Collaborated with the Maryland, Delaware Council of Churches in Race Relations Seminars. B. Temperance-Rev. J. J. Baker, Chairman. The cause of temperance is a just one when we think in terms of the dire results that alcohol, narcotics, pornographic literature, amuse- ment lotteries and the like have produced. Complete abstinence is a vital step necessary for better Christian living. The first Sunday in December is Church-wide Commitment Day. There is much to be accomplished in the field of Temperance and education is sorely needed in preventive as well as rehabilitative measures. The Washington Conference has participated in the Regional Conference held at Buck Hills Falls, Cresco, Pa. Progressive levels of training are offered those persons who attend prerequisite conferences. We have a number of persons who are qualified for higher training. The Committee on Temperance has been represented at the Dis- trict Conferences and in seininars where our youth are concerned. Precept and example are the watchwords where temperance is concerned and the clergy and laity alike must put forth herculean efforts to combat the evils attendant thereto. C. World Peace-Rev. Howard Cornish, Chairman. The Committee on World Peace has contacted 'Congressional members with regard to control of the atom bomb. Control of this destructive force is imperative if we are to use this scientific knowledge for the purpose of Peace. When nations work together in the interests of peace, a closer bond of understanding can be developed. The United Nations foster such understanding among its member nations. The Committee hopes to arrange trips to the United Nations headquarters in New York on a continuing basis for the youth and adults who wish to learn more of this Organization. The Committee helped to sponsor the National Disarmament Conference held in Baltimore, October 11, 12, 1957. The Committee also is one of the sponsors of the Peace Caravan through the American Friends Service Committee. This international group of four college young people will be available to speak to local churches. They will be in the Baltimore Area from June 14 through July 14, 1958, Those interested should call Miss Doris Shomleffer, Baltimore Peace Center, 328 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland. (Phone PLaza 2-6614.) As a matter of public announcement we wish to call attention to the deplorable conditions and the treatment of Negro patients and some personnel at the Maryland General Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, a Methodist Institution. Negro patients have been subjected to many inequities that white patients do not suffer and in some instances have been denied full treatment facilities. Some of the non-professional personnel are forced to use Segregated facilities within the hospital. The Commission on Christian social Relations along with the Baltimore Conference is attempting to correct these conditions. It may be well for all of US to examine the policies of Methodist institutions in our local church areas to see if they conform to the tenets of our Christian beliefs. The Commission will be glad to receive any notices of those policies of institutions that may be undesirable. The Commission on Christian Social Relations must remain flexible meet the new and challenging situations in a positive way. AS a Commission With responsibilities as outlined in the minutes of the Washington Annual 104 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF Conference of 1957, under the report heading of the Board of Social and Economic Relations, Committee on Temperance and World Peace, the following recommendation is made : 1. That a budget of two thousand ($2,000.00) dollars be approved for the Commission on Christian Social Relations. This figure includes the following: Board of Social and Economic Relations ...... $1,200.00 Board of World Peace...... 300.00 Board of Temperance ...... 300.00 Commission on Christian Social Relations (Executive Body) ...... 200.00 Total...... $2,000.00

If we are to carry out our program of urban and rural education through interracial conferences, based on practical needs of a particular given area, these funds must be made available for the ensuing conference year. If we are against racial prejudice we must plan and prepare for its eradication on a systematic basis. Respectfully submitted, COMMISSION ON CHRISTIAN SOCIAL RELATIONS Fred' Z. Nichols, Jr., Chairman Mrs. Beryl W. Williams, Secretary

REPORT P COMMITTEE ON (SEAT OF) CONFERENCE AND ENTERTAINMENT In accordance with directives of previous sessions of the Washington Annual Conference, this committee has investigated the possibility of holding the sessions of the Washington Annual Conference at Morgan State College, and reports the following findings : The total cost of room and board for 400 delegates, and the use of the college gymnasium for all sessions will be approximately $12,200.* Lodging at $2.00 per person, per night...... $10.00 Meals at $3.25 per person, per day...... 16.25 (Breakfast $ .75) (Lunch 1.00) (Dinner 1.50) Total ...... $26.25 (per person) 400 Delegates at $26.25 ...... $10,600.00 Rental of Gym and Other Facilities...... 1,700.00 * Total Cost ...... $12,200.00 THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 105 This total does not include other conference expenditures, such as printing, etc. It should. be noted that this total is approximately double the present amount apportioned for conference entertainment. Because of the increased size of our Annual Conference, and the fact that no church has adequate facilities for entertaining the conference, and because there are adequate facilities in a central location at Morgan State College, the Committee on Seat of Conference and Entertainment unanimously recommends that the apportionment for conf erence entertainment be increased, and that the 96th session of the Washington Annual Confer- ence be held at Morgan State College June 9 - 14, 1959. As directed by the 94th session of the Washington Annual Conference, this committee has also investigated the possibility of holding sessions at various colleges within the confines of the Washington Annual Conference, and has received favorable communications from Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va., and Western Maryland College, Westminster, Md., in addition to Morgan State College. If the conference at this session does not accept this recommendation, the Committee on Seat of Conference and Entertainment further unanimously recornmends that we accept the invitation of Leigh Street Methodist Church, Richmond, Virginia, provided that all sessions are held at the Mosque. The committee extends appreciation to Metropolitan and Sharp Street Churches, Baltimore; Asbury Church, Richmond; and Buena Vista Street, Pittsburgh, for their kind invitations. Respectfully submitted, L. L. MOSLEY, Chairman DORIS M. HANDY, Secretary Adopted : See changes in the Financial Statement adjusted by the Amended Report of the Commission on W. S. and Finance, pages 65-66.

REPORT Q MORGAN CHRISTIAN CENTER A. Historical Background The Morgan Christian Center is the continuation of the dreams, ideals and visions of the Methodist founders of the Centenary Biblical Institute which later was named Morgan College. In November of 1939, the Trustees of Morgan College transferred the ownership of the college to the State of Maryland. In order to make adequate provisions for the Christian development of the students, the Trustees purchased land adjoining the campus, on which they erected the Morgan Christian Center. B. Relations With Morgan State College Even though the Center and the College are two distinct organizations, i~thseparate boards of Trustees, the Center recognizes that the College S Its reason for being. At the Same time, the College, conscious of itself 1s the eontinuation of the Morgan College tradition, recognizes in the Jhfistian Center, not only the symbol of its heritage, but the agency by lnd through which it is able to help students and staff achieve some of hose intangible objectives which are vital to the well-rounded personality. Specifically, the governing Boards of both the Center and Colleg: are OintlY committed to a policy of mutual cooperation in matters pertaining (1) establishing the objectives of the Center, (2) .selection of the Direc- 3p of the Center, who will have certain responsibihties to the College as ,

106 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF a whole and (3) the use of the various facilities of the Center by the College for cultural, religious and co-curricular activities. The Board of Trustees of the Center and of the College recognize that, while the Christian Center owes its existence mainly to the contributions of one denomination, the Methodist Church, nevertheless the Center goes beyond ministering exclusively to Methodist students through the Wesley Club, to dedicate itself to meeting the spiritual needs of the entire College community without regard to religious affiliation. Thus the Methodist Church makes a contribution to the educational and religious life of the College as a whole. C. The Work of the Director of the Center The Director acts in the following capacities: 1. Chaplain to the College a. All College Sunday Worship Services b. Mid-week Meditation Hour-Holy Communion 2. Coordinator of Activities of Morgan Christian Council (The Morgan Christian Council is the Committee on Religious Life of the College, It is composed of the Presidents and Advisers of the campus religious organizations-Baptist Club, Canterbury Club, Newman Club, Westminster Fellowship, Wesley Club, YMCA and YWCA) 3. Executive Secretary of Religion In Life Week Program 4. Adviser to the Wesley Club 5. Member of the Counseling Service of Morgan State College 6. Liaison for Theological Schools and students planning full-time Christian service, 7. Executive Officer of Morgan Christian Center Adopted- HOWARD L. CORNISH, Director.

REPORT R COMMITTEE ON DISTRICT CONFERENCE RECORDS We have examined three District Reports, namely: West Baltimore, South Baltimore, Charleston - and find them in order. The Washington, Virginia-Washington, and North Baltimore’ Districts failed to send in their District Conference records. We recommend that the District Superintendents see to it that the secretaries either bring to the Conference or send to the Chairmen of the Committee their District Conference Records. L. H. MOORE, Chairman C. C. WILSON 0. M. BEASON I Adopted.

REPORT S . REPORT OF THE HISTORICAL COMMITTEE Having completed the compilation and binding of the Conference journals covering the period 1900-1966,we made a special appeal for the following journals: 1864, 1866, 1866, 1867, 1868, 1869 1871, 1877, 1878, 1879, ~

i I THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 107 1881, 1882, 1883, 1884, 1885, 1886, 1887, 1888, 1889, 1890, 1891, 1892, 1893, 1895, 1896, 1901, 1902, 1906. We wfre able to secure.1867 and 1887 for which we are very grateful. However, If we are to write the history of the conference, these early 1 journals are aJsoluteb necessary. ,We have heard that at least two complete sets of ~ournalscovering the whole period of 94 years are extant also in the possession of some of our Brothers. If these cannot be given to the conference, I suggest that the journals needed would be loaned to the i conference for such time as would be needed to extract the necessary data for our History. We recommend that if this is our final alternative that the conference will either purchase or pay the loan fee for these journals. The Committee has requested aid from the Oldest Methodist Churches existing during the period-1864-1900 hoping that such items as pictures, r conference programs and Sunday School and Epworth League Convention ; Programs can be secured. We plan our history to cover four periods- 1 1864-1900-Pioneers and Early Development. i 1900-1920-Ripening Maturity. I 1920-1940-Fixed Convictions-Policies and Politics. I 1940-1964-The Central Jurisdiction-Negro Leadership.

~ At our next meeting, assignments to write the outline of these periods will be distributed. When the final compilation is made, we plan to follow the guidance of a Professor in history for the publication. We have promises of help along this line from Morgan, Howard, Gammon and Drew. Since there are only six years until our one hundredth Anniversary, we recommend that the provisions of Resolution No. 7, page 48,1957 journal be put in order. N. B. CARRINGTON, Chairman J. W. LANGFORD, Secretary

REPORT T COMMISSION ON TOWN AND COUNTRY Bishop Love, members and friends of the 95th Session of the Washington Annual Conference, we offer the following report of the Commission on Town and Country. 1.-Due to the fact that the former Chairman of the Commission was transferred to the East Tennessee Conference, the Commission did not achieve all its goals set up for the Conference Year 1957-58. 11.-However some of the District Commissions on Town and Country Work have presented various programs. On the South Baltimore District, Rev. John Evans, District Chairman in conjunction with the District Superintendent Rev. J. Lloyd Garrison and the District wscs presented a drama portraying Town and Country work. On the Washington District at the District Conference a speaker from the Seminary of Westminster, Maryland, spoke on rural ministry. Rev. Thomas Brooks, Chairman and IC. L. Jackson, D.S. On the Va.-Washington District, a Program was outlined but because of the removal of the former Chairman, it did not materialize. However, the District Chairman, Rev. J L. Winters had a program of the Rural Church as it is related to the community and its agencies as it promotes the Program of the Church. 108 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF 111-Recommendations : 1. That the Four Basic Commissions of the Church become more active in installing the program in the local Church. This can be done as follows: a. Education (1) Have leadership schools and classes on the District, Sub-districts, and in the local Church. (2) MYF in every church or a combined MYF on circuits or larger parishes. b. Evangelism (1) Christian Witness Mission by the MYF. (2) Spiritual Life Missions. (3) Visitation Evangelism. (4) Membership Training Classes. c. Missions (1) A Local School of Missions in cooperation with Local WSCS. d. Stewardship and Finance (1) Through Audio-Visual Aids promote Stewardship of Life and Giving. (2) Every member canvass in every Church. 2. That we implore the Board of Missions to include in its Conference on Misssions a Workshop on Town and Country Work. 3. That each District Chairman on Town and Country Work present a program related to rural work at the seat of the District Conference. 4. That the services of the office of Research and Survey be utilized by the Town and Country Parishes and where feasible consolidate local churches into larger parishes or group ministries. 5. That we seek to cooperate fully with community agencies for the purpose of community improvements. 6. In assuring a Creative, Active, Outreaching Rural Church Program, we recommend the following Bibliography. Rockwell C. Smith-RURAL CHURCH ADMINISTRATION Rockwell C. Smith-THE CHURCH IN OUR TOWN 7. That the money allocated for this Commission for the past conference year be earmarked for Promotional and Cultivation Purposes the new conference year 1968-59. REV. DePRIEST W. WHYE, Chairman REV. I. A. MOYE, Acting Secretary

REPORT U ANNUAL REPORT 1957-58 TELEVISION, RADIO AND FILM COMMISSION Bishop Love, Members of the Washington Conference: I am very pleased to be present for these brief moments to report to you in a general way the activities of our Television, Radio and Film Com- mission and to mention our projected program for 1958-59. I think it is very important that each member of the conference under- stands the duties and functions of the Television, Radio and Film Com- mission. The membership of the General Commission represents the Council of Bishops, the general agencies of the Church, the Jurisdiction and the Church at large. It was established by the 1952 general conference as a World Service Agency, and assigned the following responsibilities: THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 109 1. Coordinate the work of the Methodist Church and its general boards and agencies in the fields of television, radio, film, film strips, and recordings. 2. Producing film, film strips and recordings as requested and finances by the General Boards of the Church. 3. Producing for “The great& causes of the Church.” 4. Doing research and long-range planning for the church in communication. 6. Provide tremendous opportunities and scholarships to prepare church leaders to make effective use in these mass media. 6. Representing the Methodist Church in inter-denominational work in these fields. The 1956 General Conference established the Methodist Television Ministi-y as an official part of the program of the church, and assigned to TRAFCO responsibilities for programming and production. The TV Ministry is supported through World Service Special contributions from annual conferences, local churches, and individuals. Since June, 1956, the following development has taken place: 1. The PASTOR series and the WAY series have been continued on the air. 2. The debt of over $100,000.00 on the WAY series has been paid. 3. The TV Ministry Fund has received an increasing response. 4. Research and evaluation of the WAY series have been carried out. On the basis of this study, a new approach to television as a means of communicating the Gospel has been developed. Simply stated, it is this: Television makes its impact at the community level. It is TRAF’CO’S primary responsibility to provide tools, resources, and training to enable the leaders of the church in the community to make effective use of television and radio. A second concept in the new approach is that communication is not complete until the viewer makes response to the message presented. Putting these two concepts together, a pilot or introductory program using a new format was produced. The format included a dramatic presentation of a real human problem or need, followed by a live discussion of the need from the standpoint of the relevance of the Christian Faith. This live portion will be produced locally. The new series is to be called “Talk Back.” The pilot program was tested in eight communities last summer, and the schedule now calls for the introduction of this new series in a Television Community in each annual conference beginning in October, 1958. The Washington Conference covers territory mcluded in several conferences of other jurisdictions. It is necessary, therefore, for the Wash- ington Conference to engage in the production and the promotion of the forthcoming television programs in each of these areas. Radio and televison are powerful means of communication. The Church has a responsibility to use these means in communicating the Gospel. We must employ whatever means posslble to cause men to achieve a new spiritual power in their lives. One twentieth of all the human beings who have walked the earth are alive today and the number is increasing every hour. Our churches are inadequate to accommodate the unchurched, and if there was the adequacy, it is doubtful that millions of people would seek out the Church. It is tha responsibility, then, of the Church to go to the people, using whatever cunning which may be at hand in an effort to compel them to embrace the Christian faith. There. are no faster nor more inclusive methods of communication than televlsion, radio and films and we are negligent in our responsibilities to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ, if we fail to make use of every media available to reach as many people as possible. - 110 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF

The Methodist Church must carry its share of this responsibility. It must support financially and spiritually, these projects or else this approach becomes ineffective. Conferences throughout the Church have realized the need for such a ministry and are making special sacrifices to see that worth- while programs are put on the air. For the past two years, I, along with members of the Cmmission, have spent a good deal of our time attending conferences and workshops to inform ourselves of what should be offered in our conference. We have been marked by our Conference Commission on World Service and Finance as a “DO NOTHING’’ Commission, but we feel before a program can be intelligently presented, we should know the what, the how, and the why in presenting the program. I have held sessions with the Chairmen of the Baltimore Conference Commission, the Virginia Conference Commission, the Pittsburgh Conference Commission, the Peninsular Conference and the West Virginia Conference Commission, and are agreed that the greatest service our Commission can render as an independent entity is in the area of radio. We have been in touch with the Council of Churches in Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, and Pittsburgh. We have had any number of conferences with various radio outlets in all of these areas, trying to come to some agreement and to determine whether these stations would look favorably on high calibre programs, directed and promoted by our Com- mission through the various Councils ’of Churches. It is impossible to at- tempt to produce these programs, or to convince these people of our sincerity, if there is no money available to follow through. Last year, I had to make a special appeal to the conference for funds and even with the $600.00 the conference allocated, the amount was not nearly enough to initiate any type of audio visual service. Rather than use the funds, for any inept efforts, we agreed that the conference treasurer should send those funds to the Television Ministry Fund. I should like to mention just a few words concerning the Television Ministry Fund. As I mentioned previously, the Television Ministry is supported through World Service Special Contributions. Out of a total of more than $160,000.00, to date, for the year of 1958, the Central Juris- diction has remitted $668.00. Naturally, our inability to reflect with the other jurisdictions causes embarrassment on the part of those who are in responsible positions with the General Commission. Our Annual Confer- ence has to date remitted $400.00 to this church project, and I feel this is far below the capacity of the Washington Conference. The money sent to the Television Ministry Fund is used for production and promotion of the films and other paraphenalia. I urge you to become more aware of the tremendous advantages which can be derived from the Television Ministry and to lend support and let your voices acclaim this as a worth- while and necessary adjunct to our Christian Ministry. I am hopeful that those of you here will share in my hopes for this ministry and will appropriate sufficient funds which will prove adequate in getting the Commission off the ground and in a position to render service. During this year, plans have matured for the release of a thirteen week general audience audio visual service beginning in October 1958. The name of the program is “Talk Back.” The approach to this new series is based on two concepts. That this series is in a very real sense, the extension of the ministry of every Metho- dist Church in the TV Community; that the task of communicating is not complete until the viewer makes a response to the program viewed. The format of the new series calls for active leadership from local leaders in the production of the program. It provides a way for the viewer to become involved in further study and action. The Washington Con- ference has been committed by our Commission to function with five other conferences which cross the boundaries of the Washington Conference. It is our feeling that our conference should be involved in every Methodist Radio and Television program produced by the General Church in our conference area. THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 111

Because of the tremendous area which our conference covers, and because of our numerous committments in Radio and Television and because of the need for an au$o-visual library which should be developed in our Department of Education, we request that the conference allocate to our commission, the very modest sum of $2,000.00 and we also propose that the amount of $600.00 for the Television Ministry be included in our Con- ference budget as an apportionment. This I feel will assure a reasonable amount of support from our Conference. As we conclude this report, we would like to express again, our gratitude to the members of the Commission, to the Bishop and to the District Superintendents and many of the ministers and lay people for the cooperation and advice which has been given us throughout the year. And it is our prayer that in another year, we shall be able to serve better our fellow men and that we shall be able to lift our voices loud and clear in acclaim- ing to untold multitudes who come within the reach of our ministry that there is no greater experience than to be included in the family of Jesus Christ. FRANK J. ELLIS, Chairman.

OTHER REPORT SECTION REPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE SECRETARY BALTIMORE AREA In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Bishop Love, Members of the Conference, and Friends: Because I believe that it is important that we cut down on the volume of material in our Conference Journal, I shall make my report as brief and concise as possible. I am sure that from my five previous reports, the duties and functions of my office are pretty well known. llly yearly routine is very much the same. I am accountable to my bishop, of.course, and am subject to his orders as I assist him in carrying the almost Impossible work log which is placed upon him by the demands of the church and the public. d 114 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF We are honored to have in our bishop one of the great religious leaders of the present day. As we know, he is president of the College of Bishops of the Central Jurisdiction. He is vice president of the Southern Confer- ence Educational Fund, an organization which is composed only of stout- hearted men and women of the South of the white and Negro races, who are fighting for equal rights for all people, To list his other connections with Methodism and the American Church at large would consume too much time and would be unnecessary. Personally, I have been privileged to visit all conferences in the area the past year. The stature of the ministers and laymen in the North Caroline, East Tennessee, Washington and Delaware Conferences all, is growing. We are truly training men and women ably to carry on the work of our churches. It is good to think of the general church and of far-away places, but the strength of the church lies in the local scene. Unless we can strengthen the local church, city, town and urban-large and small-we are fighting as one “that beateth the air.” The areas of the Central Jurisdiction, like man, are fearfully and wonderfully made. Because of the remoteness of the pastor in Chattanooga, Tennessee, from the pastor in White Plains, Ne-w Yorl-our southernmost and northernmost outposts, respectively, it is necessary that we have media of communication that will make us feel that we are of the same organi- zational structure. We seek to do this mainly through our area paper- THE MESSENGER- which has never been appreciably recognized by the people for whom it is essentially published. However, it answers a need, and that is the important thing. Please, Delegates, Brothers and Sisters, subscribe to it, and read it. We recommend for your consideration adoption of a plan that is being put into effect in the East Tennessee Conference, Each church is being asked to write into its budget an amount for THE MESSENGER. There would be sent to that charge monthly the quantity of papers covered by its contribution-five, ten dollars or more. The papers will then be distributed among the officials of the church. This is not obligatory. It is a simplified way of getting the paper into the hands of church officials. The church insures this by paying for the papers itself. On the other hand, it does not mean either that individual persons cannot subscribe personally for the paper at $1.00 a year. We are passing this recommendation on to the district superintendents for consideration and subsequent promotion. Another medium of trying to unify the area is through area-wide meetings. The Area Council is held twice during the quadrennium-in the fall of the year of the General Conference, and the fall of the year preceding the General Conference. In the interim other area meetings are held for specified leaders. These are promoted and financed wholly or in part by the Area Office. During the past year the second Retreat for District Super- intendents, Conference Lay Leaders, Conference Treasurers, Secretaries, Woman’s Society Presidents’ and Chairmen of Committees on Christian Higher Education was held. The meeting was held at Morgan State College Christian Center, the week of September 7th and 9th, and was unsurpassed in spiritual enrichment. Our office helped to support the recent one-day conference on Christian Higher Education held at the same place. This year we plan a Retreat for Ministers’ Wives of the Delaware and Washington Conferences, August 22nd to 24th. We invite all the gracious ladies of our parsonages to share in this potentially rare fellowship, and now assure them of a program of great challenge and benefit. Next year a similar project will be undertaken for the wives of the North Caroline and East Tennessee Conferences. The Area Office stands ready to help pastors and laymen in their problems. Our time is limited, and we do not presume to supersede the authority of district superintendents and others in places of leadership. THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 116 However, we are available on your call, to extent of our ability to aid you. "Silver and gold have we none, but such as we have, give we unto you." Respectfully submitted, DANIEL LYMAN RIDOUT, Administrative Secretary. Philadelphia, May 14, 1958

OTHER REPORT SECTION REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE SOLICITOR OF THE RESERVE PENSION FUND AND THE CURRENT INCOME PENSION Bishop, Brethren and Sisters: We. beg leave to make this first brief report of some of our activities in the interest of the conference pension service. This includes the full responsibi!ity to every member of conference according to his status of membershp. These are the retired preachers, the widows and children, the accepted supplies, and the new entrants under the M. R. P. F. The general board at Chicago and the conference board have given valuable assistance in acquainting us with the plans and purposes of the M. R. P. F. and other pensions, securities, which I have shared with the pastors, members, and friends of the cause. The response to this cultivation has been gratifying. As for us, we have been able to go, we have noted increased support to the regular apportionments which is very necessary to the success of the program. We have urged canvassing for subscriptions of cash and pledges to the M. R. P. F. We have suggested plans for organizing to do this work systematically, from the conference through the district to the local church level. These plans have been furnished to the district superintendents and the pastors. Quite a few of the churches visited have responded. We are hoping that this number will be greatly increased this year. Literature is available to assist pastors and committees. The suggested procedure is brief and plain: 1. Organize a local church committee. 2. Canvass the congregation and community for subscriptions and cash for the fund. 3. Form Century Clubs. 4. Secure Bright Light members of from $250.00 and up for certificates. We propose two records of response. One for the churches, and the other for the pastors, containing pledges, cash received and balances due, yearly, until the campaign is completed. We propose a listing of all charges and a record of their progress. That complete record shall be kept and published in the minutes, giving information of the progress of the campalgn. The Treasurer shall furnish the Field Representative a copy of the cash received from the charges and the cash from the pastors on the 1% and pledges to the M. R. P. F. We propose that the disciplinary provisions pertaining to and governing the raising of these funds be strictly adhered to as they apply to both the charges and the pasors. Respectfully submitted, CALEB E. QUEEN Field Representative Conference Board of Pensions I 116 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF OTHER REPORT SECTION REPORT OF THE WESLEY FOUNDATION HOWARD UNIVERSITY APRIL 10, 1958 Fishop Love and Members of the Washington Annual Conference, The Wesley Foundation of Howard University attempts to develop in its students, a sense of belonging to the Christian community. The Christian community as The Methodist Church interprets it involves the dynamic fellowship of people who have found and made a definite commitment to Christ. To be sure this commitment must be carried out in terms of discipline of mind, body, and spirit and in terms of service which affords the individual the opptrunity to act and perform on the basis of a Christian philosophy of life. This process involves a continuing search for God’s will relative to decisive issues as they relate themselves to the Christian witness of students on the campus. Therefore, the program which is undertaken during the year always visualizes the Christian ideal. Holy Communion Service was held every first Sunday this year. The students responded enthusiastically to this new activity. It is anticipated that the basement of The Wesley House will be remodeled into a recrea- tion center in the near future. The Foundation held meetings for students who were attending Summer School. At the close of this period a party was given at Wesley House. Early in the first semester, a study was begun based on the theme of Sixth Quadrennial Conference of the Methodist Student Movement, which was Our Lord-Our Church-Our Life. These topics were always conducted against a background of such questions as, “What is the mean- ing of life?” Or “How can I acquire a faith to gird me for daily living?” Surely, today’s students are more interested in theology and spiritual development than they are in church social and recreational programs. Our student group co-operated extensively with the young people of other religious organizations. For example, during Holy Week service of The Holy Eucharist was held with the Congregationalists and Presbyterians at Wesley House. This is the third year that this event has taken place. Attendance and interest continues to increase from year to year. Early in October, the Howard University Wesleyans were the guests of the Wesley Foundation at American University. The Director discussed: “The Negro Looks At Segregation.” It is anticipated that the annual Spring picnic, which includes all the religious organizations will occur late in the month of May. Wesleyans worked closely with the Student Christian Move- ment in sponsoring their annual party. Four students attended the Fall Workshop of the Chesapeake Area, MSM, at Pecometh in October, and it is expected that several students will attend the Spring Conference to be held at Churchton, Maryland in April. Our president, Cynthia Bean attended the National Methodist Student Conference, Lawrence, Kansas, December 27, 1957 to January 1, 1958. She says-“There were numerous high points to this week but the one which brought me to a closer reality of the oneness of the group was the moment when 3,500 students, all different yet alike were gathered together to par- take of the Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper. We were all seeking to find the real truth of our responsibility to our campuses through communion wfth God” Dr. Gertrude Rivers, one of our faculty advisors, served as a resource person at the Lawrence meeting. Several of the Monday Evening sessions were devoted to a thorough discussion of the general theme: “Our Methodist Heritage,” being divided into three sub-heads entitled: I. ‘

Respectfully submitted, ERNEST N. MATTISON. 118 THE NINETY-FIFTH SESSION OF OTHER REPORT SECTION COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC RELATIONS Report to the 1958 Session of the Washington Annual Conference The committee on public relations was appointed by the cabinet at the 1957 Annual Conference to be composed of five members. The committee has met and offers the following report: Purpose and Functions The general function of the committee was conceived in terms of making The Methodist Church more widely and favorably known particularly within the confines of the Washington Annual Conference. The committee feels that this could be done in two ways: direct releases to news services and encouraging each church to develop its own public relations program so that people will be attracted to the sphere of our influence where the Gospel might reach them. The specific functions of the committee are first, editing and syndicating news and feature stories, developing material grown out of Washington Annual Conference Churches’ experiences that might be suitable for radio and T. V. usage. Second, the training of individual churches to produce as much good newspaper material as possible about local events. The conference can give invaluable aid in the performance of both of these functions first by sending information about the conference or district events, which should be publicized to the public relations committee through its secretary . This information is to be sent no later than the tenth of the month. Recommendations A. That each district superintendent appoint a district chairman of public relations whose job will be too! 1. Serve as channels of communication between local churches and conference committee. 2. To help local churches develop committees on public relations. 3. To transmit news and other public relations information monthly to Conference Committee in care of the Secretary. B. That the conference committee cooperate with and utilize resources of the Methodist Information Center, Washington office, to publicize Wash- ington Conference news throughout Methodism. C. That the Conference committee give adequate coverage to the sessions of the Annual Conference beginning with th 1968 Conference. D. That the committee be represented on the Annual Conference Planning Committee. E. That each district chairman of public relations be included in the Dis- trict Conference planning committee. F. That the Committee cooperate very closely with the area Messenger in promoting its sales and providing Conference news and feature stories. G. That the Committee study the possibility of establishing an area public relations office and the hiring of a director. That a recommendation be ready for the 1959 Annual Conference. H. That the anticipated expenses of materials and postage of $25.00 for this conference year be borne out of the contingent fund. I. That the committee develop a public relations brochure on the Impact of the Washington Annual Conference on the Communities within its confines.

VI1 MEMORIAL SERMON Delivered by Rev. B. M. Hargrove Subject: WHEN ENDS LIFE’S TRANSIENT DREAM TEXT: Matt. 24:14 “Then shall the end come.” Gen. 28:12 “-4nd he dreamed a dream, and behold a ladder set up on earth, and the top reached to Heaven.” Psalm 90 “So teach us to nuniber our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.” From one of the favorite hymns of Christendom: MY FAITH LOOKS UP TO THEE I have extracted one of the phrases as our theme idea- “When Ends Life’s Transient Dream”. Hear the words of this familiar stanza : “When ends life’s transient dream When death’s cold sullen stream shall o’er me roll: Blest Saviour then in love Fear and distrust remove, 0 bear me safe above A ransomed soul.” One of the seemingly immutable laws of the universe is the end of things. You may speak of any process, you can trace how it is going to work out, you may observe how cause opens into effect, and then effect, becoming cause, opens into still further effect beyond. But eventually- by and by, your thought comes to stoppage and change,--yea the end. Have you ever stood on the crest of a hill looking down upon the valley below and observed the smoke as it rises lazily from the chimneys of homes secure and drifts away in the boundless blue? Have you ever looked up into a darkened sky to see and feel the rain come pelting down, and suddenly end leaving its crystalline brilliance to glisten upon your cheek and after that to bask in the bursting radiance of God’s glorious sunshine? In the area of music-Do you know what it is to hear a great singer extract from a master composition all the rich beauty, resonance and harmony therein and then to hear the lilting echo of the last note as it fades away? All good things, it seems, must come to an end. But really, is it the end? WHEN ENDS LIFE’S TRANSIENT DREAM Scientists tell us that nothing in the universe is ever ended or wasted. Energy once set in motion is fused or changed from one substance to another. So then, we have an ever new awakening. Down through the annuals of Biblical History it has been common practice for men to dream dreams and to see visions. After having passed through these experiences man has sought to interpret them. And in answer to man’s searchings he has found that while life is like a dream- it is a dream fused into the reality of Eternity and that the sleep of death is but the awakening into the reality of God’s eternal presence. This was the startling truth that emerged from Jacob’s dream. The fact that Heaven and earth are connected-and it was an awakening that led him in thought to realize that hoU1* by hour, day by day, our lives ought be climbing upward, drawing closer to eternity through faith,

J THE WASHINGTON ANNUAL CONFERENCE 161 As we strive to bring comfort to those hearts that have been broken, and whose family ties have been torn asunder by death-let us lay hold of the truth that the existence of this life and the final step called death is in truth the beginning of a new life. Let us, in the fall of SO~~OWS, realize that it is easy to mistake victory for defeat and to be so oveiwhelmed with sorrow as to miss entirely the deep undertones of joy. And while your hearts yearn for comfort let me urge you to strive for a faith that looks up to God and to capture the assurance that those who die in the Lord are ransomed souls. I-A FAITH THAT LOOKS UP Some are saying that because of loneliness, ill health, and other dis- appointing things: “How can one have a faith that looks up?” There are those who are questioning the validity of a faith that demands loyalty even in the face of sorrow and grief. Others are saying that this hope of life everlasting in a transient and fleeting world is at best nothing short of folly. But we must ever serve at the altar of hope and strive for a faith that looks up. We might well cry with the Hymnodist: “0 for a faith that will not shrink, ’ Tho pressed by every foe, That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe!

11--RANSOMED SOULS Ransomed souls of which we speak are souls that are ransomed because they entered wholeheartedly and unlimited into the adventure of life. An adventure as boundless as the sea. Yes, and timeless. Their dreams were of eternal things. A venture-reckless, esploring. They ever sought to grasp the mind of God. Death to them was, and ought to be to us, a transition out of darkness to light. Perchance to dream - and listen. Death is not to sleep, it is the awakening out of sleep. For life is a sleep-a dream. What shadows we are; What shadows WE PERSUE. For in living we are always in transition and decay; and in dying me pass from the temporal to the eternal; frcm mortal to the immortal; from the seeming to the real. We might well choose a phrase from Vachel Lindsay’s “Endless Line Of Splendor” for it bespeaks the sentiment of our beloved. “These troops with Heaven for home. This is our faith tremendous- our wild hope-who shall scorn that in the name of Jesus the world shall be reborn.” It is for us who are yet alive to join this endless line of splendor along with those who have labored to enthrone justice, to oppose tryanny, to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ’s Kingdom. For it is the Loyd who gives to the supreme example of suffei*ing, death and victory. He transfigured death and sorroiv with courage and steadied it with trust. And whenever in sorrow we think on Him something happens. And if we walk in the constancy of companionship with Him we can exclaim with Paul in faith, of the transiency of life and the permanence of God: “mo shall separate us from the love of Christ-shall tribulation or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?” Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come-nor height, nor depth, nor any creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is Christ Jesus our Lord.” Reality then is beyond ous dreams. Not SO long ago, while visiting the great metropolis of New York City, and neve: having seen the arrival of a mighty ocean liner, I picked UP one of the daily newspapers and after a perusal of the section dealing with the arrival and departure of Ocean going liners, it was a pleasant discovery to find that one of the most 152 THE NINETY-F1FTI-I SESSION OF famous-THE QUEEN MARY was due to dock. So I made my way to the harbor-and there I observed friends and loved ones gathered. Some who were preparing to make a journey across the ocean and some who were there with sad faces to say farewell. Others were there awaiting the arrival of loved ones who days before had sailed out upon the majestic ocean deep. They were awaiting loved ones who had sailed through waves that had buffeted them. Through storms that had nearly overwhelmed and yet through it all they now await with anguish their loved ones who have out of the mercies of God endured. And as the gangplank was lowered and as those who were about to depart were given tearful fare- wells the passengers on board began to descend the gangplank into waiting arms of loved ones who greeted them with shouts of joy through tear dimmed eyes. It is the exultant joy for their loved ones who have safely crossed the majestic ocean deep. So it is with our blessed dead. We sorrow at their parting as they journey from us. But somewhere, some place, some time on the distant shores of Heaven, when we have braved the ocean’s tempests of life, and sailed through stormy seas of doubt and sorrow aboard the ship of death-we shall walk down God’s gangplank in the awaiting arms of loved ones gone on before-who will greet us with shouts of triumphant joy as we shall embrace in the arms of God’s love after life’s transient dream comes an awakening into the eternal presence of God.
