FIRST DAY.

Paducah, Ky., November 16, 1910. Opening-The Memphis Annual Conference of the Methodist Epi&·copal Church, South, met in its seventy-first session in the auditorium of the Broad­ way Church in Paducah, Ky., Wednesday, November the 16th, 1910, with Bishop Warren A. Candler in the chair. The Bishop called the Conference to order at · 9 o'clock a. m., and conducted the opening ·devotional services. The Bishop an­ nounced and the Conference sang the hymn, beginning, '' 0 Spirit of the Living God! In all Thy plenitude of grace, Where 'er the foot of man hath trod, Descend on our apostate race,'' after which the Bishop led in earnest prayer. Bishop Candler then read a scripture lesson from the 16th chapter of the Gospel according to St. Matthew, following the same with a very pertinent exposition of the teachings of the paragraph as to the Foundation, the Character, and the Final Triumph bf the Church. Following this the Conference sang, ' 'I Love Thy Kingdom, Lord.'' Organization-The Secretary of the last Conference called the roll of members and properly marked the attendance, and one hundred and fifty-eight clerical and fourteen lay members answered to their names. (See Conference Roll.) · On motion A. J. Meaders was elected' Secretary. The Secretary-elect imme­ diately rose to a question of personal privilege, and called attention to the action of the last Conference in regard to the moneys for the printing of the Conference Minutes, said action seeming on its face to reflect upon the in­ tegrity of the Secretary, he asked to be relieved of the office,. and that another be elected to serve in his place. After considerable discussion and· the making and withd'rawing of several motions, motion finally prevailed to refer the matter to the Joint Board of Finance for early action and report, and the Secretary-elect was requested to serve until this report could he acted upon, to which he agreed. L. H. Estes, Jr., was elected Assistant Secretary; L. H. Howell, special Secre­ tary. to sign railroad certificates; and H. C. Johnson, P. B. Jefferson and W. P.

JOINT BOARD OF FINANCE. Report No. 1. With deep sorrow this Board is again compelled to report the death of one of its honored and useful members in the person of Rev. R. M. King, who died at his home in South Memphis, upon the 14th Jay of January, 1910. Brother King was regular and punctual in his attendance upon the sessions of this Board; took a deep interest in its labors and gave wise counsel for its guidance. We shall miss him. His church, his community and his family have suffered a great loss by his death; therefore, Resolved, That this expression of our appreciatoin of Brother King and the esteem in which we held him and his services be spre.ad upon the minutes of this Conference, and a copy sent his family. Respectfully submitted, W. S. COULTER, Chairman, WM. J. NAYLOR, Secretary. Report No. 2-Minutes of Conference. At the request of this Conference, and in order that no injustice may be done any of its members, this Board has carefully reconsidered its report on the question of the minutes of this body, made to and adopted by the last session of this Conference, and which report on that matter is as follows: ''As will be seen, there is an excess in this fund of $14.00, which we have car­ ried to the Emergency Fund, as shown in our report upon that fund. This Board is of the opinion that it should relieve the Secretary of this Conference of the burden and responsibility of disbursing the funds for printing the min­ utes, and only put upon him the labor of editing the minutes; and that the printers submit to t)lis Board an itemized statement of the expenses for print­ ing same, and be paid by check from the Treasurer of this Board upon this fund. And that the Secretary also submit to this Board, or the chairman and treasurer of same, an itemized statement of his expense in editing and preparing the manuscript for the printer, and that same be paid by the treasurer of this Board with a check upon this fund, and that in the event the cost of printing the minutes, postage, and other expense, be not so much as the amount in hand, the surplus be transferred to the Emergency Fund, to be used for worthy 36 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE claimants upon that fund. If, however, the expense and cost of printing the minutes should be more than the funds in hand, then that the chairman and treasurer of this Board meet same by a check upon the Emergency Fund. This method will furnish to this Conference a correct history, not' only of the source from which revenue is derived, but will apprise the contributors to this fund with the details of its disbursements, and at the same time, relieve the secretary of some of his labor. ''We think the printing should be let by competitive bids to him who will do the best work for the least money, and that proper advertisements be re­ ceived for printing to defray as much of the expense as may be practicable. This may be done by the secretary or some one else under the direction of this Board.'' After due deliberation we are of the opinion, and so report: 1st. That by said report, and its adoption by this Conference, no reflection whatever upon Brother Meaders as a man or as secretary of this Conference was intended either by this Board or by this Conference, and that the language used in said report cannot be fairly, or correctly, so construed. We herein dis­ claim any &uch intention and express our confidence in, and esteem for him. 2nd. That we deem the action of this Board in making the recommendations in said report, and of this Conference in adopting the same, wise and in keeping with approved business methods, and that the same be reaffirmed and adhered to by this body, and that this Board be governed by the same, in the disposal of the funds belonging to this Conference, for which it is responsible. Respectfully submitted, W. S. COULTER, Chairman, WM. J. NAYLOR, Secretary. Report No. 3. Report No. 3, of the Joint Board of Finance, proposing to levy an assessment upon the Conference for the Superannuate Endowment Fund, was not adopted. A. J. MEADERS, Conference Secretary.

Total amount appropriated ------·------·------$9,400.00 We are very much gratified to note an increase in the contribution to this sacred fund of_ more than $1,200.00 over last year, and it is a pleasure to this Board to be able to grant a sufficient amount of money to meet the actual de­ mands of the claimants upon this fund with one or two exceptions, and in some instances to grant more than the amount requested. We ~incerely trust that the pastors and laymen who may have the collection of this fund during the ensuing year will be as assiduous and earnest in the prosecution of their labors in the interests of these worthy claimants as they have been during the past year.

Net balance Emergency Fund ------·------$ 976.65 We have found the creation and maintenance of this fund to be a wise move upon the part of this Conference, and we are sure that no better disposition of the surplus funds could be made than to put them with this fund ready for the many emergencies that arise during the year. During the session of this Con­ ference Rev. John A. Randle died, and we have placed the appropriation in­ tended for him in this Emergency Fund, thinking perhaps it may be needed to defray the expenses incident to his death and burial. This makes the fund larger than we would under other circumstances have it be.

Superannuate Homes. We have two homes, one at Brownsville, which is occupied by Dr. Duckworth, and one at Obion, which is now vacant, but which has been rented a part of the year, and for which $63.00 have been received, and placed in the Emergency Fund. We have a lot at Barlow, Ky., and one at Rutherford, Tenn., and hope to build upon each be.fore the next Conference. OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 39

There are $600.00 subscribed for a home in Lauderdale County, Tenn., the re­ sult of Rev. W. L. Drake's efforts, upon the condition that $1,200.00 are raised, and we sugge&t that a day be set apart in the near future, and that the P. E. of that distriet :fix the date, and secure several speakers, preachers and laymen, and make a special effort to secure the balance at once, from various parts of the county.

We feel that if our pastors and laymen only give attention to the needs of this cause the necessary funds for relieving all funds will be forthcoming. We urge our pastors to call atten­ tion to these matters from time to time during the year and permit our people to cultivate the grace of giving and thus benefiting themselves while relieving the wants of those who are dependent upon us. Respectfully submitted, W. S. COULTER, Chairman, W. J. NAYLOR, Secretary, G. T. WEAKLEY, Asst. Secretary, J. W. YOUNG, Treasurer.

BOARD OF MISSIONS. (Report No. 1, of the Board of Missions, respecting· Conference Missionary Secretary, etc., was read and adopted, but no copy at all was furnished to the Conference Secretary.-A. J. MEADERS.) Report No. 2. The first decade of the twentieth century has marked a moral world-renais­ sance, rather than a continental one. It has witnessed an almost universal fer­ ment in national ideas and in internatioal relations. Geographically, politically and, deeper than men dream, religiously, in China, in India, in England and America, on the steppes of Russia, the veldts of Africa, and the locks of Pana­ ma, and the coffee fields of Sumatra, the world has striven with itself as a man waking in the darkness of dawn and waking has found itself one. In all of the bewildering work of the New Age, whether of aerial navigation or of intensified farming, there has arisen no problem comparable in difficulty or approachable in promise to the task of bringing on right relations among the races of men. But this, being interpreted, is nothing more nor is it anything less than the hasty equivalent of the gospel program of the unity of mankind in Jesus Christ, the solidarity of the race in the Son of God. Wherefore we may not be doubtful in the assertion that, of all that has been doing in this world-awakening, the gospel has been not simply a department but the very soul. And Christian Missions is Christian Statesmanship. We may recall as a Conference, here and to the humblest post of our service, if there be such a thing, that we are identified with all the magnitude and reach and solemnity of this world-stir and world-need. . From the General Minutes we learned that the total receipts of the entire Church for the year 1910, including the gatherings of the Woman's Board, are $881,520, an increase of $29,286 over the former year; that the total receipts for the quadrennium now closing exceed those of the last preceding quadrennium by the sum of $987,084, or nearly 40 per cent. · The income of the last year of the quadrennium just closed has exceeded the income of the last year in the preceding one by $257,765. In membership of the foreign churches the growth has advanced from 17,633 to 25,210, or by 42 per cent for the four years. 42 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

But here is a danger. The past decade has been a period of war and of romantic excitement. The Spanish-American and Russo-Japanese wars vastly quickened the martial imagination of the Christian world. And there has come to the church for a time the advantage of a sort of unearned increment of geographical knowledge and of chivalrous humanism. Such incentives will not last. If these could support the task of saving a world, the Spanish cavaliers and medieval jingos could have finished the work centuries ago and been made perfect without us. But we must go on with this work, whether the newspapers compose their headlines of dispatches from Port Arthur and San Juan, or excite our breakfast tables with back alley murders. For this reason we may not be surprised that the increase in receipts of the General Treasury last year on regular assessme;nt, and not including those of the Woman's Board, was only $5,4 76, a margin thin enough to be blunted by some slight general adversity to a disastrous deficit in any year. While therefore it is a good thing in Presiding Elders and pastors to hold out that the assessments are a minimum, and to foster spontaneity and liberality beyond this base, yet it is more than a logical fallacy, it is a fatal hurt to the service when we be­ little the importance of this minimum to the vanishing point and glorify our­ selves with more or less spasmodic specials often issuing from the transient impulses of an individual, and at the same time bestow a vanishing considera­ tion on the stated assessments which alone can give stability to permanent gen­ eral operations. In our own Conference area, although our treasury shows for collections on regular assessment for Foreign Missions a deficit of $1,110.44, which deficit is due to the now discontinued Conference Missionary Secretaryship; yet, includ­ ing special and Sunday School missionary contributions, there has been paid by the Conference for Foreign Missions, on an assessment of $13,860, the sum of $20,409.44; and for Home 4 Missions, on an assessment of $8,000, the sum of $7,774; or, on a total assessment for Foreign and Home Missions of $21,860, the sum of $27,837.93, being an excess of $5,977.93; or 27 per cent. Of the eight districts the Dyersburg District remitted in full for both Foreign and Home Missions, and the Lexington District its assessment in full for Home Missions alone. The others show deficits as follows:

On Foreign Missions. Memphis District ------$ 54.00 Union City District...... $250.00 Lexington District ------···------· 100.00 Jackson District ·------······----···· 270.00 Paducah District ---·-----·-----·---- 200.00 Paris District ---·------·- 370.00 Brownsville District ----··-·------232.00 On Home Missions. Brownsville District ------$ 5.00 Jackson District ...... $55.00 Union City District...... 47.00 Paducah District ...... 55.00 Memphis District ------50.00 Paris District ··------···· 62.00 The thirty-five pastors receiving assistance from the Board have received checks in settlement at 100 per cent of appropriation. Of the one hundred and seventy-two charges in the Conference one hundred nineteen have paid both assessments in full; and sixty-five charges have made special offerings for missions. The amount paid for Foreign Missions wants but $400.00 of having been dou­ bled in the last two quadrenniums; and the sum for Home Missions in the same period has doubled with $400.00 over. The total amount collected on both Home and Foreign Missions in the last year exceeds the amount collected for the last year of the preceding quadrennium by $18,454.71; or a clear increase in four· years on both funds jointly of almost as much as was th~n being contributed per annum. For the past eight years the assessment laid on the Conference for Foreign Missions by the General Board has been $13,860. It has been raised for the in­ coming year to the sum of $17,900; and this has been apportioned to the several districts to be paid as follows: OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 43

AUDITOR'S REPORT. Memphis, Tenn., May 14, 1910. Rev. C. A. Warterfield, President Board of Missions, Memphis Conference of the · M. E. Church, South: Dear Sir-At the request of Mr. H. J. Wright, we have audited the books of the Board of Missions of the Memphis Conference for the year ending November 18, 1909, and find that all receipts were properly accounted for and deposited in bank, and all disbursements supported by proper vouchers. Attached is a statement showing the various receipts ;tnd expenditures in detail. Respectfully submitted, LEATHEM, JACKSON & JAY, By W. H. Jackson. No method simpler, more reasonable, or, if prosecuted, more effective, has ever been devised than that of the Every Member Campaign for Missions. In view of the fact that sixty-six of every one hundred in our membership contribute nothing to missions, we especially commend this call to the Conference. Let the Memphis Conference in all our homes subscribe for and read the new Missionary Magazine, being combined of ''Go Forward,'' ''Our Homes,'' and "The Woman's Missionary Advocate," and to be issued January, 1911, at the cost of 50 cents per year. We urge pre~iding elders, pastors, and Sunday School superintendents to pre­ serve the separate work of the Sunday School Missionary Societies in all our schools, and to remit the money to the Treasurer for that fund. And may we entreat once more our brethren all to make remittances through our own Conference Treasurer, that we may know at any time what the Con­ ference is really doing, and that much useless labor may be avoided. The Board asks the Bishop and Conference to designate Dr. A. B. Jones to be Conference Missionary Secretary. C. A. W ARTERFIELD, President, J. A. ROBINS, Secretary, H. J. WRIGHT, Treasurer.

TWENTY-FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEMPIDS CONFERENCE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD. Never since the Sunday School was founded has it taken on &uch world-wide dimensions as at the present time. Starting with the individual school, the organization now works through town­ ship, county, state, international and world conventions, covering every part of the globe, wherever Christianity has been planted. During this year perhaps the most notable gathering of Sunday School workers the world has ever seen, assembled in our national capital and was welcomed by the President of the United States, and the great body so profoundly impressed the city of Washington that our National Congress adjourned to witness the monumental procession of Sunday School workers. Truly an unusual tribute to our world-wide Sunday School cause. Not only is the international work for Sunday School progress advancing through the hearty co-operation of the various denominations, but the denomina­ tional advancement has also been very marked and many signs of improvement are constantly being made manifest. Our General Conference Action. During the past decade the elementary grades of our Sunday School have re­ ceived the largest amount of attention, and hence it is not surprising that those grades have for several years shown the largest relative growth and progress. Howev~r, for at least five years the other end of the line, the adult element of the school, has made very wonderful strides and the increase in the adult membership of the school has been little less than marvelous. So great had the work grown up to this year our General Sunday School Board was constrained to ask the General Conference which met in May last to erect a new department of our Sunday School organization to be known as the · Wesley Adult Bible Class Department of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and authorized the Sunday School Board to elect a superintendent for the de­ partment so soon as a suitable person could be found. Rev. Charles D. Bulla, D.D., of the Baltimore Conference, was duly elected as superintendent of the Weoley Adult Department and is making a fine beginning in the work. Teacher Training Work. With the large influx of bright young people and older ones as well forming the adult classes in many schools the opportunity for teacher training is greatly enhanced, and we may confidently expect much gain in the teaching force of the school if the very excellent plans and methods of our superintendent of training work, Dr. H. M. Hamill, are faithfully carried out. We heartily commend Dr. Hamill's Teacher Training Manuals as among the very best published for such work. The fact is, this writer thinks they are the very best. Besides being very inexpensive and portable. · While Dr. and Mrs. Hamill's time is constantly occupied, yet a school or a group of schools could not do the cause better service than to plan sufficiently ahead of time to secure these very expert workers for an institute of two or three days. The gain to individual workers from such exercise wo~ld be beyond price. · 48 MINUTES OP THE MEMPHIS CONPERENCE

Broadening Plans of Our General Sunday School Board. So great has the demand become for trained leadership of our Sunday School force the General Conference also took for reaching action touching that matter on this wise. Recognizing the establishment of the Chair of R~ligious Pedagogy and Sunday School in the Theological Department of Vanderbilt University as fundamentally necessary in the training of our preachers, and a very considerable fund toward said chair having already been paid in, a memorial was adopted providing for the completion of the $50,000 fund for the chair and after that shall have been done then a certain percentage of the annual Conference Sunday School Board Pund, instead of being appropriated as heretofore to the General Board of Education, will go to the General Sunday School Board to provide a larger number of expert field workers who will visit the various Conferences and work under the direc­ tion of the Annual Conference Boards with the definite purpose of trying to raise the general level of Sunday School work in our entire connection. Surely we may look for rnuch good to come of such service. The General Conference further provided that when the chair in Vanderbilt is accomplished then 60 per cent of the receipts from Children's Day Pund will be used in each Conference for the advancement of the Sunday School work of the Conference either by placing a Conference Secretary in the field or in such other aggres~ive lines under the direction of the Annual Conference Board as may seem best from year to year.

Missions in the Sunday School. Nothing augurs more happily for the Church than the widespread dominant spirit of missions, and the mo~t hopeful feature of the whole matter is the foundation of information and inspiration that is being laid in the Sunday School, through the missionary policy for the school adopted last year and which is taking good hold in many directions: We earnestly 'urge our pastors, superintendents and teachers to corre::.pond freely with the young people's mission department of our Board of Missions, 810 Broadway, Nashville, Tenn., and ask for ample literature and then use it faithfully. - If we are to have a great missionary Church we must grow it out of the thousands of plastic minds and generous hearts of the young now in our schools.

Our Literature. We record with much satisfaction the steady improvement in our literature, both in educational value and mechanical construction. Hence, it is not strange that our editor and- staff are constantly reaching a wider field for our many periodicals. Not only in our own borders but also among other commissions. We are informed that added important features of value will be introduced at an early date which will still further increase the helpfulness of certain of the issues. While our people are generally loyal to our own literature, we beg to ask that the most liberal patronage be given our publishing house in order that we may have a good right to expect our publications to hold a front line position.

Children's Day. With the constantly growing interest in this ''red letter'' day of our Sunday School year, it is not surpri&ing that the real heart of the day is shown in the increased offerings that have reached our treasury from year to year. The far-reaching service of the day is just beginning to be really understood and with larger knowledge of the fact that the offerings of Children's Day are blessing China, Japan, Korea, Brazil, Mexico and Cuba, as well as wide areas of our own sparsely settled W e&tern country, and in addition to this is establishing a permanent Chair of Religious Pedagogy and Sunday Schools in our chief uni­ versity, our people are responding with enlarged liberality at the call of faithful pastors and superintendents_ OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 49

Another Jump Ahead. N otwithstand.ing the fact that last year recorded considerably the largest aggregate offerings we have ever had, we are compelled to tell you that this year goes ahead of that by a very good increase. It is easily explained in the unfailing and diligent attention given to the matter by conscientious pastors and superintendents, and we may surely look for just such results as long as these two absolutely essential and interested helpers continue their painstaking service. During the past fifteen years our annual olferings have more than doubled in total amount and nobody hurt by it, but literally tens of thousands greatly blessed by ~mr first gifts. Why not continue and increa!'\e so good a work as the years multiply. ''We can do it if we will.''

Forgiveness Asked. In 1896 our aggregate was just exactly $1,500.00. In view of this excellent gain we are sure our pastors will freely forgive their chairman for what may have seemed to them very great persistence in prosecuting the work through the years.

Banner Districts. Lexington, Brownsville, Memphis, Union City Districts have the banner this year for sending Children's Day Fund to our Treasurer from every charge be­ fore Annual Conference. Last year only one district was thus distinguished, so we have made every substantial progress by adding three other districts this year to the honor roll. But for just ten charges in the entire Conference failing to respond we would have had the last dollar of this fund in hand before the convening of this Conference.

Banner Charges. Brownsville District, Brownsville Circuit ...... Rev. R. L. Norman, P. C. Dyersburg District, Covington Circuit ...... J. W. Joyner, P. C. Jackson District, Saulsbury and Grand Junction ...... J. G. Williams, P. C. Lexington District, Shiloh Circuit...... J. B. Maxedon, P. C. Memphis District, First Church, Memphis ...... Lewis Powell, P. C. Paducah District, Reidland Circuit ...... A. E. Scott, P. C. Paris District, Murray Circuit ...... J. M. Hamil, P. C. Union City District, Fulton Station...... H. W. Brooks, P. C.

The Big Banner Charge of All. While the above eight charges show the "largest amount collected in each dis­ trict, yet reckoning on a proportionate basis Longstreet and Bethlehem is much ahead of any charge in the Conference. With less than 300 members their offerings amounted to $156.00. A splendid showing it trulyis. Rev. J. A. Has­ sell is the hard working pastor of this charge. 50 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

METHODIST HOSPITAL. To the Bishop and Members of the Memphis Conference: In pursuance of the appointment of the Bishop presiding at our last Annual Conference we, the Hospital Commissioners, beg leave to report that on June 23, 1910, in Memphis, Tenn., we met the commissioners of the Mississippi and North Mississippi Conferences and after a thorough discussion of the practicability of building a Methodist Hospital to serve the larger terri­ tory embraced within the Conferences named, agreed to build a hospital in the city of Memphis, to cost not less than $250,000, and the work to begin when $75,000 is secured. At this meeting a local Hospital Committee of three was appointed from Memphis to look into the matter thoroughly from a local stand· point and report its findings to this commission. This committee has reported that they know of a suitable site for the hospital building, well located, and wit4 a large brick residence on same, and that the property can be bought for a very reasonable consideration. Following out the agreement entered into with the commis&ioners of the other Conferences, we recommend that five directors be elected by this Conference with power to act in conjunction with similar directors from the other inter· ested Conferences. We also recommend that if the North Mississippi and Mississippi Conferences take &imilar action that the directors meet at the earliest possible date to perfect all plans for the launching of the enterprise. Respectfully submitted, H. B. JOHNSTON, W. J. MECOY, VERNON BLYTHE, H. J. WRIGHT, Commissioners. OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 51

PUBLISIDNG INTERESTS. Methodism is the patron of wholesome literature. She has ever fo&tered a taste for the reading of good books. The pen of her illustrious founder was prolific in the production of a wide range of religious and useful literature. The pioneer preachers of Methodism were proverbial for their zeal in dis­ seminating the publications of the Church in their itinerant rounds. The saddle­ bags of the early circuit rider contained his library and his wardrobe and the heroic pathfinder valued the former more highly than the latter. So, from the beginning our members have been encouraged to be a book-loving and reading people, and today we have an intelligent Church membership. The Publishing House Exhibit. The statement submitted by the publishing agents for the year ending Decem­ ber 31, 1909, shows splendid management upon the part of our agents, Smith and Lamar. We.have a magnificent plant in our publishing house, and are gratified at the character of the work done, and the encouraging exhibit submitted to your com­ mittee for its information. Our periodical literature calls forth words of hearty commendation. The Christian Advocate. The general organ of the Church, under the directing hand of the new editor, Dr. T. N. Ivey, is maintaining its high standard of excellence. The pen of the author of '' Bildad Akers,'' is facile and original. The editorials of the paper are fresh and varied and timely, while the weekly table of contents is an in­ viting feast, spread with hospitable hand before its many thousand readers. As members of the Memphis Conference we renew our pledge of loyal &upport to this general organ of our Church. The Methodist Review. This, too, deserves our unstinted praise. This excellent quarterly, under the scholarly touch of Dr. Gross Alexander, is challenging the attention of an increas­ ingly large number of studious ministers and laymen. Any issue of this valuable publication is worth the cost of a year's subscription. Dr. Alexander is a genius in New Testament Greek exegesis, has a talent for securing gifted contributors, and is giving the Church a periodical of high grade, meriting the liberal patron­ age it is now enjoying. The Epworth Era. The Epworth Era, the central organ of our Epworth Leagues, is an invaluable publication for those interested in the work of the Epworth League. Dr. F. S. Parker, the cultured editor, is giving the young people of the Church a paper of high literary excellence, and great practical value. The devotional helps of its columns make the Epworth Era absolutely necessary for the Epworth Leaguer, who would keep up with this part of the chapter work. Every Ep­ worth Leaguer should be a subscriber to this paper, especially devoted to the work of the young people of the Church. Our Sunday School Publications. Our Sunday School literature has reached a great circulation, and in point of excellence and merit it is ea&ily in the front of similar publications of other denominations. Our Conference Organ. The Midland Methodist, our Conference organ, edited by Dr. T. C. Schuler, and published by Brother 0. W. Patton of Nashville, Tenn., i.s an adequate medium for our revival items,- field notes, and official communications, and puts us in connectional relation with the other two affiliating Conferences in the State. 52 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

We are glad to learn of the increased circulation of the paper, and urge all our pastors to aid in the enlarging of its list of subscribers. We nominate the following brethren, Dr. H. B. Johnston, Dr. J. W. Blackard, and Brother John R. Pepper, as commissioners to represent the Memphis Conference in the paper. Respectfully submitted, H. G. HENDERSON, Chairman, W. F. MAXEDON, Secretary. Report No. 2. We request Bishop Candler to appoint Rev. P. H. Fields Conference Colporteur. H. G. HENDERSON, Chairman, W. F. MAXEDON, Secretary.

BIBLE CAUSE. Your committee has no difficulty of accepting the Bible of our fathers as the inspired Word of God. We are dependent upon the Book for a knowledge of the will of God concerning us. It is a lamp unto our feet and there is no safety for us, save as we walk in its light. It has stood all the tests of time. It has been assailed by bitter and malignant attack of enemies who have sought to destroy the faith of men in its divine authority. Even in the house of its friends there have been those who were willing to compromise with the truth and to make apologies for the Book. In spite of all this the old Book stands firm and the faith of the Church in the Bible as God's Holy Word is unshaken. We are de­ pendent upon the Book and we must do all in our power to get our people to read it and live by it. In it are to be found the words of life and the solution of all of our spiritual difficulties. The world needs the Bible and the Church has no more important work than that of introducing the world to the sacred Book of our Christianity. There is no more useful agency for the spread of the Scrip­ tures than the American Bible Society. It has translated the book into every known language and our Foreign Missionary work would be impossible without its timely assistance. We pledged ourselves at our last Conference to raise dur­ ing the year $2,000.00 to enable the society to meet the conditions underlying a gift of Mrs. Russell Sage of $500,000. We have paid only $1,029.53. Now, in order to keep faith with the society, we recommend an assessment of $1,000.00 for the coming Conference year and the collection or payment of that assessme'nt before January 1st. Let every preacher take up the collection in his church on the first Sunday in December, or as soon· thereafter as possible, and remit to the Conference Treasurer, that he may pay this $1,000.00 to the American Bible Society before January 1st.

TEMPERANCE. ·whereas, we know to a certainty from personal observation, and from all available human sources of information, and from the Bible, the source of all truth, that the whole traffic of intoxicating liquors, as a beverage, has never benefited, in any way, the people of state or nation, and in the very nature of things can never do so; and Whereas, that it is undenied and undit:.pntable that said traffic is in all its forms detrimental to the safety, happiness and prosperity of individuals, fami­ lies and communities, and that it is the implacable foe to the Church, state, and nation, and Whereas, it seeks to perpetuate its existence and remorseless power by graft, and bribery in elections; and thus imperils the purity of the ballot and jeopard­ izes the liberties of the people, and Whereas, ''Our Father in Heaven,'' the all wise, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, has prohibited the subjerts of His Kingdom, by commandment, the liberty, ''if it be such,'' of lookinga on the wine when it is reel, because it, ''At last biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder;" and, hecause it manu­ factures drunkards by the tens of thousanrls, and no drnnkarf1 can enter the OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 53

Kingdom of Heaven; thus, by clear implication, prohibiting the whole traffic, the manufacture, sale, and use, as a beverage, of all strong drink; and Whereas, we believe it to be the only safe, wise, and patriotic policy to follow divine instructions and prohibit, by law, the liquor beverage traffic in all its forms, and thus deny to the full extent of our authority, all right or liberty to any man to manufacture and sell, as a beverage, any intoxicant, that benefits none and damages all; therefore, be it Resolved, That we favor the enactment and maintenance and enforcement of laws prohibiting the manufacture and sale of all intoxicants, as a beverage; and that we, as patriotic Christian citizens, and as servants of God, will try by moral suasion, and in every other honorable way, to secure the passage of needed prohibitory laws, and to maintain and enforce such laws, as we already h~ve, to the· end that we may remove temptation, as far as possible, from our fellow men; and that we may save them from the ruinous effects of poisonous drinks, and from the eternal death consequent upon its use. Respectfully submitted, E. B. RAMSEY, Chairman, G. W. WILSON, Secretary.

SPIRITUAL INTERESTS. It affords us great pleasure to note the gratifying and encouraging reports from our brethren to this Annual Conference from their respective fields of work, noting the gracious revivals and the great ingatherings into the Kingdom · of our Lord and into our own beloved Church militant, the Methodist Church, South. The world in its relation to God is divided into three dispensations, the dispensation of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We live in the dis­ pensation of the Holy Spirit initiated in the fullest sense on the Day of Pente­ cost and continues with the Pentecostal privileges, for the promise is to as many as the Lord our God shall call; even to them that are afar off; the promise of the Holy Ghost. Our methodism was born in a great Holy Ghost revival, and her polity and doctrines have been formulated by Holy Ghost men, and we feel that an exhortation to return to the old paths and walk therein, would be both timely and appropriate, and that we need to preach and honor and emphasize the work of the Holy Spirit. Our Lord honored the Holy Spirit in His ministry, the apostles under the baptism of the Holy Spirit gave testimony that was to reach to the uttermost paths of the earth. We therefore urge a re-establishment of the old Methodist customs of love feasts and class meetings and family altars as conducive to the spiritual interest of our Church. We recommend a sy~tem­ atic observance of the Lord's Supper at least once a month in stations and once a quarter in circuits. We further recommend that our pastors seek and avail themselves of the opportunity of family ~devotion in their pastoral visitations, when convenient. We also call attention to the growing irreverence for the Lord's House and recommend a return to the old Methodist type of kneeling in silent prayer both on entering the pew and the pulpit. We also protest against Sunday travel on excursions and Sunday newspapers, both of which are detri­ mental to the spiritual interest of the individual who participates as well as to the Church to which he belongs. We urge a revival in the reading of religious literature, and a more ~ystematic Bible reading in all of our homes, as good religious Church papers and books are now easily accessible, we insist on our pastors urging their people to supply themselves with good religious thought to feed and stimulate their spiritual interest. We feel a· deep sense of the need of a great spiritual awakening and revival among our beloved ministry; and the great maxim laid down by our Lord: ''By their fruits ye shall know them,'' should be the testing line by which we should measure ourselves and see if our ministry is fruitful in the conversion and salvation of souls. ''Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit, so shall ye he my disciples." Cordially submitted, E. R. OVERBY, Chairman, J. L. RICHARDSON, Secretary. 54 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

EPWORTH LEAGUE RE.PORT. Dear Brethren: We note with pleasure the growth of the Epworth League as given in the report of our General Secretary, and also to report an increase of leagues and members within the bounds of our Conference. Many of our im­ portant charges are yet without leagues. We recognize the great importance of league work among our young people and read with pleasure of the large con­ tribution in money and workers to our Home and Foreign Missions, a large re­ cruiting of trained forces within the congregations, and the important place in both developing our young people, and keeping them true to the Church wherever organized. The Church was wise when she saw fit to embody in the book of discipline, a provision that ''Epworth Leagues be organized in all our congre­ gations for the promotion of piety and loyalty to the Church among our young people; their education in the "Bible, Christian literature, and in the mission work of the Church; and their encouragement in the works of grace and charity." The Epworth Era is ably edited by Dr. F. S. Parker, assisted by Rev. J. M. Culbreath, a young people's journal that should be in the hands of all our young people, and we recommend that ·the pastors see that it is circulated among our young people. We call especial attention to the literature published and selected by the league secretaries for leaguers; Bible studies and excellent courses and refer­ ence libraries for the young people; missionary movement and publications. An intere&ting and helpful league conference was held during the year at Murray, Ky., resulting in great good. The next conference will be held in First Church, Memphis, and we earnestly exhort our Presiding Elders and pastors to co-operate with this conference in the effort to make it a success and helpful in increasing the interest and progress of league work. Respectfully submitted, M. F. LEAKE, Secretary.

EDUCATION. Dear Brethren: Your Conference Board of Education reports for an interest­ ing group of schools, which, by their five several exhibits, are growing con­ stantly in influence and service. These, together with encourqging reports from the Memphis Conference Female Institute, from the General Board of Education, from the Theological Department of Vanderbilt University, and the Summer School and Correspondence School, are shown in the minutes of the Board. We are putting the money collected for this cause into loans to boys and girls attending our schools, into helping in building dormitories, securing li­ braries, into the Summer School, and into a fund for printing and distributing useful information concerning our various enterprises. These items are all in­ cluded in the Treasurer's report, which with the assessment on the Conference and its distribution to the districts is appended. Your Board has carefully considered all these investments in both person and property. We request the reappointment of Dr. A. B. Jones to the President of the M. C. F. I., of Rev. Geo. B. Jackson to be principal of Dyersburg District High School, and Prof. J. H. Stevenson to the Chair of Hebrew in Vanderbilt Uni­ versity. The following students are recommended for appointment to attend school: R. E. Wright, Memphis District; A. H. Dalaney, Lexington District; R. E. Smith, tutor in Correspondence School. We record again our conviction that, for the general reasons that competent schools are sorely needed and that the Church should not lose her hold upon this great religious, educational and social force, as well as for the special advan­ tages to accrue in the training of those who are to be her future preachers, the Church should continue. to invest her money and her men in schools. Quite a number of our boys now in the training school are preparing for the ministry. Your Board is ·deeply sensible, too, of its respon:;ibility of helping to form a true ideal of education, which is broader than any special considerations; and would exist if either the Church or the state had the exclusive control of the school system. Our first need is to get the true religious educational ideal in OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 55 home and Sunday School and school. When this comes there will be no longer a necessity of urging the place of the Church in the educational field. We are glad to state that there is a growing sense of the fact that education is a religious problem. The Chur.ch is meeting this with a conviction that the religious problem is also an educational one. The home, the Sunday School, the school; knowledge, activity, experience, should all be thoroughly Christianized. Dr. Coe, who could hardly be accused of bias toward orthodoxy, whose system is rigidly pedagogical and who rejoices in the separation of church and state schools, says: ''It behooves us now to accept the educational consequences of this division of labor. The future generations in this country will be trained in religion by the churches or not at all. To the churches we must look for leadership in re­ establishing family religion; for maintaining systematic and continuous religious instruction, and for the social training that is demanded of the members of the kingdom of God. "Upon the churches rests the responsibility for the religious education, not only of their own children, but also of the American people as a whole.'' It is first a home and Sunday School problem, which in its final interpretation means that it is a -social and doctrinal problem from the beginning. The Sunday School through its new graded lessons bravely faces the opportunity and begins a pretty thorough study of the whole Great Book with this as its announced aim from the first: To Lead the Little Child to the Father. By Helping Him: 1. To know God, the heavenly Father, who loves him, provides for, and protects him. 2. To know Jesus, the Son of God, who became a little child, who went about doing good, and who is the friend and Savior of little children. 3. To know about the heavenly home. 4. To distinguish between right and wrong. 5. To show his love for God by working with him and for others. There is not only a unanimity in regard to the duty of the church, and as to the essentially religious character of the process, it is also a reflection of the most wonderful unity that has ever prevailed as to the meaning and goodness and wholeness of life. It means a great deal that where so much is chaotic in even the curricula of seminaries and colleges, there is a pedagogical and religious unity to begin anew with. And there is a growing recognition of the value and place of the Bible. It points more and more clearly to the fact that the only right beginning of life, as its only possible realization, is in the religious con­ sciousness, which in its true form is Christian consciousness-the consciousness of Sonship. It does more, it vindicates, by the very forces which are most ex­ pressive of our modern life, the claim of Jesus upon the child, and the claim the church makes for Jesus Christ. The still and solemn and awful mysteries of faith-the experience of the spiritual Sonship-seems more and more to be at once the beginning and goal of life. For such children in such homes and so instructed in the church, it should be no longer a matter of argument to se­ cure their training in a discipline, instruction and ideal which shall be ·as vital to the integrity of the school as to the home and Sunday School. We must in our homes possess the heritage and in our Sunday Schools teach more clearly the message of this Book, which alone perfectly unfolds the love and wisdom of the Great Father, then there will yawn no great chasm between our cb.ildren and the world of competence and culture, across which only secular ambition will throw the bride of either avarice or pride. Without this bias it is perilous to send children out of formal Christian homes to any school. With this conception alive and aflame in the whole Church, her most im­ perious duty is to adequately provide for the culture and training of her chil­ dren until they are ''polished after the similitude of a palace.'' Jesus was Teacher-and is-which implies in those taught a capacity to learn. His relation to us here, as in His sacrifice, is at once divinest and most human. He is teacher because of His power to awaken the absolutely elemental forces, the beginning of life, and to lead to a conscious, personal realization of Son­ ship through Him. Then all vicious dualities disappear, while the affections, in­ tere&ts, joys, duties, aspirations, discipline, character are molded, and mold us, 56 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

DISTRICT CONFERENCE JOURNALS. We, your Committee on District Conference Journals, submit the following report: All of the journals of the Conference were submitted to the committee and after careful examination we present the following: The Lexington and Memphis District Journals are models of accuracy and neatness. The journals of the following districts have been correctly and well kept: Union City, Jackson, and Dyersburg. There is but one criticism to be offered on the Paris District Journal. We find it accurately kept, but marred by a few blots and stains, which detract from its appearance. The Paducah District Journal, we find correctly kept, but very much marred by erasures, blots, stains and interlineations, which render it very unattractive in appearance. We want to commend the accuracy of the work done on these journals. T. F. SAUNDERS, Chairman, E. A. TUCKER, Secretary. OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 57

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The American Sabbath is recognized as a civil institution imbedded in our law as a conservator of public morals, and as conducive to public order. No con­ tract is valid that is made on Sunday. Thus we are by law protecting in a very effective way this holy institution. God has laid the need of this day of rest in the very constitution of man's body and mind, therefore the Sabbath is the most effectual shield thrown around the laborer, protecting his liberty, his health, his home, and guarding alike again&t the tyranny of capital, and the license of anarchy. Therefore no laborer can for one moment either by precept or practice afford to lend his aid in the breaking down of this, his God appointed friend and pro­ tector. It was Our Blessed Lord who said the Sabbath was made for man. And we may add without violence to His Word that it was made by the triune God. The Sabbath is peculiarly the heritage of all the sons of men. Everything which has even a tendency to rob him of this God-given heritage should be vigorously condemned from our pulpits, and by our practice as ministers and people by re­ fusing to do unnecessary things on our Lord's day, such as going on excur­ sions; attending upon or playing baseball on Sunday; forcing someone to break the Sabbath to supply us with mail; buying and selling and pleasure-seeking, which is too common in some quarters. The Sabbath as a day of religious culture and worship is laid on the individual conscience and is not to be enforced by legal statute, God alone is Lord of the conscience. Therefore it is no part of this Sabbath movement to make men good by law, but to guarantee to all the privilege to be so. The paper referred to us by this Con~erence, &igned by Revs. H. M. DuBose and Edward Thompson, who represent the Southern branch of the Sunday League of America, has been duly considered by the committee. This paper mentions the action of our General Conference in pledging our Church to raise $5,000.00 for the Sunday League with which to erect a building as headquarters for the Southern branch of the league, which building is to be a monument to our late Bishop, W. W. Duncan, and is to be erected at Fort ,Worth, Texas, and that we as a Conference assume $300.00 apportioned to us by the committee, and we hereby direct the Joint Board of Finance to divide this sum for collec­ tion among the several charges. That we suggest that the second Sunday in January, 1911, be fixed as Sunday League day and request every pastor to preach on the importance of this move­ ment, and that after the sermon this collection to be taken and forwarded to the treasurer of the Joint Board of Finance. That we request Bishop Candler to appoint Rev. A. F. Stem, Agent of the Sunday League of America, to assist the committee in carrying out their plans concerning the Memphis Conference. H. W. BROOKS, Chairman, A. F. STEM, Secretary.

MEMPIDS CONFERENCE LAYMEN'S REPORT. Your Committee on Laymen beg to report as follows: First-That we have carefully considered the letter addressed to this Confer­ ence by the General Secretary of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, and heartily approve the policy of the movement so far as it is expressed therein. Second-We believe the every-member canvass, seeking to secure a weekly offering for Home and Foreign Missions, and for other obligations of the Church, from every member of same, will enable us to do our share in evangelizing Christless men at home and abroad, and that such a policy will eventually solve mo&t of the :financial problems of the Church, to which and in support of which, we hereby pledge our laymen to a full co-operation with our pastors in carrying it into effect. Third-The very marked success that has attended the use of the Duplex envelope, leads us to urge its general adoption as the simplest and most effective means for securing the missionary money and current expenses of the Church. 58 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

Fourth-We believe that the Go Forward, the Christian Advocate, and the Midland Methodist, offer to the laymen's missionary movement adequate and eiiective media for the education of our people in the subject of missions and for keeping them informed on the progress of the work. Therefore, we respectfully request the managers of these papers to open a laymen's missionary department, and recommend that the Missionary Committee make it a part of the every­ member canvass to see that one or all of these publications be put in every Southern Methodist home in this Conference. Fifth-We recommend that the Conference Lay-leader and District Leader be made ex-officio members of the District Conference. Sixth-We most earnestly request the Presiding Elders in making their regu­ lar rounds, to emphasize that question relating to the election of local or Church leaders, and that in making out the program for the District Conferences, that greater emphasis be given to the study of Home and Foreign Missions, and that more time be given to the discus~ion of and perfecting the financial plans for the strengthening of the weaker charges within the hounds of the district. Seventh-We believe that no man could be a happy and growing Christian who makes no personal effort to win others to Christ. Therefore, we recommend that our laymen heartily co-operate with their pastors in revival work and that they volunteer or readily consent to conduct religious services where needed and when called upon. We believe that such a policy will make it practicable to have some form of Christian service at every preaching place, every Sunday within our borders. Seventh-We hereby nominate Thos. B. King for Conference Lay-leader, and Paul Nichols for Conference Vice-leader, for the ensuing year. Respectfully submitted, THOS. B. KING, Chairman, J. L. RICHARSON, Secretary.

MEMOIRS.

REV. JOHN RANDLE. The Rev. John Randle, the oldest member of the Memphis Conference, and perhaps the oldest minister of the Gospel in the entire country, died at the resi­ dence of his daughter in West Point, Miss., Saturday, November 19, 1910. He was born in Stewart County, Tenn., January 12, 1811. Had he lived two months longer he would have been a hundred years old. His parents were Thomas Ran­ dle and Nancy Davidson. He was one of eleven children, all but two of whom grew to maturity. The father of this long-time minister was a valiant soldier in the Seminole war, and was drowned while returning from the campaign when John was only five years old. The subject of this sketch attended the common schools of his native county until the family moved to Paris, Tenn., where he completed his school course. He was converted when a young man at a church in Crockett County (formerly Haywood County) but did not join the church, and like many others fell away. Later, however, he renewed his covenant and joined the Methodist Church. In 1831 he was carded to Miss Nancy Harris, a sister of the late Rev. G. W. D. Harris and Senator Isham G. Harris. He enlisted in the United States army and served through the Florida war, as it was called. In 1840 (the year the Memphis Conference was organized) he was licensed to preach by the Rev. G. W. D. Harris, Presiding Elder. His examination, however, was conducted by Rev. Benjamin Hubbard. - In the year 1841 he was admitted on trial in the Memphis Conference at the session held in Memphis, Tenn. Bishop Beverly Waugh, presiding, and was ap­ pointed in charge of Trenton Circuit with Joseph H. Brooks junior preacher and S. S. Moody Presiding Elder. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Soule at the Conference in Paris in 1843, and admitted at the same time into full connection, and in 1845 was ordained elder by Bishop James 0. Andrew. For many long OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 59 years he was a faithful and efficient minister of the Gospel serving as preacher in charge and as Presiding Elder. He was a man tall and angular, but :;tea and could inspire confidence when all others had failed. The most of his min­ istry extended over a time when the country was sparsely settled, when the cir­ cuits and districts were large in territory, and when ministerial support was •meager, when there were no parsonages and the preachers' families were often subjected to great privation. He endured the hardships of that early itinerant life without complaint, and did much to establish the Kingdom of God in these parts. · When his family was yet few in numbers he secured for himself a small farm about three miles northeast of Trenton, in Gibson County, where his family con­ tinued to reside through his entire itinerant life. To him and his faithful wife were born eleven children, nine of whom grew to maturity. Often when he was absent from home weeks at a time Mrs. Randle managed the affairs of the home so that they lived in comfort, and the children grew up well taught and well trained. She was a woman of rare force of character. Some thirty-five years ago she died in peace, since which time he journeyed alone. In 1883 the Conference granted this faithful servant the superannuated rela­ tion. He was disposed to regard this as a hardship at first, but after a year or two calmly confessed that his brethren had judged for the best. While he lived long after his superannuation, he seldom or never tried to preach. In extreme age memory failed as to many things, but the dealings of the Spirit with his heart were always fresh in his mind. He could hardly be said to have died of disease. Having ''walked with God'' through the course of a hundred years ''he was not for God took him.'' R. W. MAHON.

REUBEN M. KING. Rev. Reuben M. King, son of William and Theodosia King, was horn in Obion County, Tenn., September 1, 1849; and died at his home in Memphis, Tenn., January 14, 1910, from complications superinduced by a severe attack of la grippe. Brother King's mother died in 1858, and his father in 1859, leaving him an orphan while yet a :;mall lad. Following the death of his parents he lived with an uncle and other relatives till he had about attained his majority. At an early age he made a public profession of the Christian faith and joined the M. E. Church, South. Young as he was he was soon intrusted with official responsibility, as class leader, steward, and Sunday School superintendent. Faith service in these positions of church work did not fully satisfy. his yearning desire to do good. He soon recognized and responded to the Divine call to the higher and wider service of preaching the Gospel to a lost world as his life­ work. He applied for, and was granted authority by the Quarterly Conference of Obion Circuit, Dresden Distrie.t, August 22, 1874, the Rev. J. H. White, Pre­ siding Elder, and Rev. T. A. Atkinson, preacher in charge. Brother King was admitted into the traveling connection at Paducah, Ky., November 17, 1875, Bishop David S. Dogget presiding, and was assigned to the Boydsville Circuit as his first charge. He was ordained deacon at Brownsville, Tenn:, November 25, 1877, by Bishop J. C. Keener, and was ordained elder by Bishop H. H. Kavanaugh. On June 21, 1883, he was happily married to Miss Emma Hassell, of Dyersburg, Tenn. Two sons were born to this union, Howard H. and Floyd R., both of whom are still living to mourn, with a devoted mother, their great loss. Sister King ever sympathized with her affectionate husband in the privations, and self-sacrifices, and joys incident to an itinerant preacher's life. Not having all the Conference data to refer to, I omit mention of the names of the different charges served by him. Brother King's educational attainments were necessarily limited by the meager opportunities afforded at the time he grew up; but he, however, availed 60 MINUTES OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

himself of such means as were at his command, and in this way obtained a working knowledge of the ordinary branches of an English education. With his practical turn of mind, he added to his stock of information from both men and books, and what he thus learned he knew how to use to good account. The moral and spiritual elements of his character were the most observable, because most prominent of his many good qualities. His thoughts were pure, and his words chaste; his piety was deep, but not obtrustive. He was mode!'>t without being timid, cheerful without levity, and grave but not sad. He was one of the best pastors in the Conference; hence his people knew him, not only through his pulpit message, but they knew him in his frequent pastoral visitations to their homes, and therefore loved and trusted him for what they knew him to be. At the last session of our Conference at Greenfield, Tenn., he was appointed by Bishop Hendrix to South Memphis and Stephenson Chapel. He received with characteristic cheerfulness this his last appointment, and immediately en­ tered upon his work with a consecrated purpose to do the best work of his life. Scarcely two months had passed before he was stricken down to rise no more, but not before he had won the hearts of his people. Everything that medical skill and careful nursing could do was done, but it was soon apparent that it was the beginning of the end. With fortitude and resignation to the will of God he fought the last battle, and peacefully entered upon his eternal rest. Appropriate funeral services were conducted by the writer in the church at South Memphis, assisted by resident pastors of the city; and suitable tributes were paid to his memory by his colleagues. On the next day, which was Sunday, his remains were conveyed to Dyersburg, Tenn., where in the afternoon suitable tributes were paid to his sacred memory by Revs. H. B. Johnston, C. A. Water­ field, and Hays Howell. The solemn rites were then said which committed all that was mortal of our brother to its original dust. His influence upon us shall abide as the aroma of the sweetest flowers, and his memory shall be a rich legacy to all who knew him. W. G. HEFLEY. November 20, 1910.

REV. ANDREW SOULE TAYLOR. Rev. Andrew Soule Taylor was born in Haywood County, Tenn., October 11, 1865. He was the son of John A. and Ann Taylor (nee Peete), whose house was in all things ordered and fashioneu after the old-time model and a home of Methodist piety in purity and simplicity. In such a farm house our brother was born and reared to manhood. He was licensed to preach at the fourth Quarterly Conference of the Brownsville Circuit, in October, 1885, and at the same time was recommended to the Memphis Annual Conference for admission on trial. The following December he was admitted by the Conference in session at Pa­ ducah, Ky. He served the following work&': Henning Circuit, 1 year; Spring Creek Circuit, 1 year; Dyersburg Circuit, 1 year; Covington Circuit, 2 years; Trimble Circuit, 1 year; Newcastle Circuit, 2 years; Belmont Circuit, 2 years; Embury Circuit, 1 year; and Dyer Circuit, 2 years. During the session of the Annual Conference, in 1891, held at Covington, Tenn., our brother was most fortunately married, December I, to Miss Fannie L. Downing, Bishop J. S. Key officiating. In 1899 his health had become so impaired that it was thought best to give him the supernumerary relation. Here his active ministry closed. He was never ''effective'' again. He and his young wife moved out on their farm, i·n the vicinity of Covington, Tenn., and turned their attention to agriculture. He strove to recover his health working with his own hands, but he longed for the ministry and work of his Church. He :finished the year 1901 on the Braden Circuit, vacated by the resignation of Rev. W. M. Midyett. He was for three years Sunday School superintendent in a country appointment near his home, and was a steward part of the time. He traveled in the South and in the West endeavoring to recover his health, but it steadily declined. His last resort was Manitou, Colo. Here the end came, June 9, 1910. His loving wife, who had lovingly followed him through all the gloomy steps of his decline, stood by him OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 61 and watched through that momentous hour that marks the end of ·us all. She brought his remains to his old home, where funeral services were held in the famous ''Old Tabernacle,'' the church of his childhood, and was laid to rest in her cemetery, where so many of his kindred friends sleep. His wife says of him: "He kept up his rule of daily life to the end, observing his hours for secret prayer; and when he was so weak he could scarcely live, he conducted the noon worship the day before his death. Despite all his extreme feebleness, he kept a day of fasting and prayer for the General Conference during its late session at Asheville.'' Faithful, true, beautiful, blessed, and great must be his reward. W. L. DUCKWORTH.

MRS. T. J. FEATHERSTON. Mrs. Emma Bell Featherston, wife of Rev. T. J. Featherston, was horn at Clifton, Tenn., December 27, 1861. She was the oldest daughter of Thomas J. and Elizabeth P. Tyree. In early life she gave her heart to the Lord and joined the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and was a consistent member, but living near a Methodist church she became a worker in it as a Sunday School teacher, and was faithful and efficient in her work. She was twice married, firE>t when about eighteen years old she was married to Mr. Eugene Coats and after which he lived only about three years. On December 28, 1892, sh.e was married to our Brother Rev. T. J. Featherston, near Trenton, Gibson County, Tenn., and they lived happily together until September 4, 1910, when she passed away. After her marriage to Brother Featherston, she joined the Methodist Church and was faithful and loyal to the Church, going cheerfully to the ap­ pointments to which Brother Featherston was assigned from time to time. Five children were born to Brother and Sister FeatherE>ton, four of whom are living and mourn the loss of a good mother. Little Lola had preceded the mother to the glory land about nine years ago. Sister Featherston was sick for about eighteen months and at times she suffered intensely, but no word of complaint escaped her lips, she was patient, kind and appreciative in all of her sickness. She expressed herself as willing to go at any time, only hoping to get well that she might rear her children for God and His cause. On September 4th, after long and painful illness, from which she suffered, she quietly pas&"ed out into another life. September 5th, at the parsonage at Malesus, her funeral service was held and her remains carried to Oakland, Tenn., and after appropriate services held in the church there among her old friends, she was laid to rest in the cemetery near by to await the reE>urrection of the just.
