Robinson moved that the ministers send their Conference Claim­ ants' funds to the Treasurer of the Conference Board of Stewards rather than to the Treasurer of the Conference. Motion carried. William Weiler suggested there be a closer co-operation between the Conference Committees to avoid duplications in reports and recommenda­ tions and that these reports and recommendations be more closely confined to conditions and needs within our own State. E. D. Edelmaier also spoke about the necessity of studying conditions of the church and the commonwealth and making the reports and recommen­ dations concrete, challenging, and applicable to the needs. J. R. Creamer, Chairman of the Committee on the State of the Church, requested the District Superintendents to write out their suggestions and turn them in to his committee. Upon this matter of committee duplication Bishop Lowe said, "Too much overhead in committees is as bad as too much overhead in matters of expense." E. R. Overley reported the vacancy in the .office of Secretary-Treasurer of the Board of Trustees due to the death of E. P. Hall. Since filling the vacancy was a matter for which the Board of responsible, the Conference took no action. J. M. Literal moved that the new plan of distribution for the Conference Claimants, now being recommended by the Board of Pensions and Relief, be set aside for this year and that distribution of funds be made upon the same basis as of last year, explaining that the new Board-proposed plan would cause suffering to some, especially to the widows receiving aid.

After a most impressive portrayal of the contribution of the Bible to all life, he pleaded: "Don't put the Bible on 1937] Methodist Episcopal Church 111 a pedestal, but into your hands.

Bishop Lowe extended to the Conference the greetings of our Resident Bishop, H. Lester Smith, conveying his hope that the Kentucky Annual Con­ ference would with hosts of Methodists rise to their high privilege and take their stand for the forward program of the church as expressed by the Mil­ lion Unit Fellowship Movement. Bishop Lowe then made a most effective appeal for the support of the Movement which, he declared, had in it the possibilities for a genuine spiritual renaissance. H. A. Sprague presented the resolutions of the World Service Commis­ sion recommending that the Conference accept its quota of 2,207 units. The report was unanimously accepted. (See report.) Dr. F. E.

After reminding us that we were world citizens, the Bishop enumerated six convictions which should grip the heart and life of the minister of God: (1) The conviction that the church and the minister are indispensable to the welfare of the community; (2) the conviction that the church's message is to the whole of life; (3) the conviction that the conservation of young life is equally obligatory on both the minister and the church; (4) the conviction that if the salvaging operations are to be suc­ cessful the minister and church must be God's instruments; (5) the convic­ tion that the Christian way is all-important and findable; (6) the conviction that there is power available with which to accomplish the task. William Weiler dismissed the congregation by prayer and benediction. 1937] Methodist Episcopal Church 113

CABINET ADDRESS, OR DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENTS' REPORT Mr. President and Members of the United Session of the Kentucky Annual Conference: We have the very great honor in having as our presiding officer the resi­ dent Bishop of the Portland Area, Bishop Titus Lowe. We were honored last Conference, as a guest speaker, with the presence of Bishop William Fraser McDowell. He presided over this Conference in 1906 and 1925. We shall never forget the deep, emotional stirrings of his sermons. I know I speak for all when I say, "We cherish the memory of Bishop McDowell-a prophet indeed." As I begin this cabinet address, I am thinking of the one who gave it last year, Dr. E. P. Hall. He held the Kentucky Conference close to his heart. He was one of the eminent ministers of the Conference. He was a man of deep convictions which he never feared or hesitated to declare. We testify today to his worth as a friend and spiritual adviser. He was beloved and esteemed by his brethren in the ministry. He was worthy of the name Christian. He was devoted to the great purpose to which his life was committed. On July 14, 1937, this faithful minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ passed from earth and entered eternal companionship with his Father. This small tribute is from one who loved him and who will try to follow the gleam that he caught and reflected to others. We are not presenting to you today a statistical report. We should be concerned about it only as it reveals a fact of still greater importance. We have become statistically-minded. The greatest contribution Methodism has made to history has been its spiritual ministry. Francis Asbury wrote in his diary these words, "I am going to America to live for God and to bring others to do so." This is the message for the day in which we live. If the Methodist Church is to continue her mission in the world and be the force she should be in this modern world, her ministers and people must come again and have the Aldersgate experience. We must not make this just a celebration, but an actual experience in the life. The ministry of the church is a high calling. Those who seek admission should give a reasonable test to this sacred and responsible venture. No one should remain in the ministry who is unhappy in its service. Without the ingredient of contentment, all our strivings leave a bitter taste, and sooner or later they harden our souls to the material temptations. Con­ tentment gives one the divine right to improve his lot. If we find ourselves inefficient and fruitless, we should seek that adjustment that would bring the joy and happiness of a service well done. In January of this year we had a major catastrophe that held the interest and attention of the entire country. The beautiful Ohio Valley became one huge expanse of yellow water which rose to unprecedented heights, over­ powering everything in its path. When the mad waters receded we found desolation everywhere. Courage and persistence were left in many who felt the burden of this disaster. They returned to their homes and churches to begin all over again. The help from without was a miracle. The sym­ pathy was nation-wide. We must keep our purse strings open wide and the work of mercy must go on until all are rehabilitated. 127 128 Ken tucky Conference [1937

The Million Unit Fellowship Movement has given a new spirit and vision to the church. We have felt anew the need for the church and her message for the world. When the people catch this vision they will support her serv­ ices and program. Dr. E. Stanley Jones quotes a leader of India as saying: "If what you say is not true, it doesn't matter; but if it is true, then nothing else matters." Remember this is just the beginning. Read anew the cove­ nant pledge and become a part of one common, glorious, spiritual endeavor. We appreciate the increased interest shown in "The Christian Advocate." The churches reading the "Advocate" pray better, pay better, and serve better. The "Advocate" is a necessity in all our homes. It furnishes spir­ itual intellectual stimulation. If all our church periodicals seek to do this, they will not fail in their mission. We commend the "Advocate" for its heart­ warming message. The Conference, at this session, should give earnest thought and discus­ sion to a program of religious education. Such a program should be financed so we can feel free to call .on our area director to aid us in this needy field. We can have a full-time director if we will honestly face one of our great needs. Your District Superintendents, through the co-operation of faithful pas­ tors and laymen, are able to report spiritual progress. Weare expecting a substantial increase in World Service giving. The Christian ministry must accept the missionary responsibility. If we create in our people the mission­ ary mind and passion, then supporting missions will be a natural result. Our Epworth League Institutes showed, on the part of church and pastors, an increased interest in young people's work. Our institutions, including Union College, Pikeville Hospital, Deaconess Hospital, and the Settlement Schools, will report to this Conference a very successful year and also the need for expansion to meet the obligations that rest upon us. After all our reports are made and our achievements are noted we are still confronted with the familiar voice, "Is there no balm in Gilead?" Is there no remedy for our social organism? Must we always have unemploy­ ment, exploitation, graft, political corruption, sweat shops, child labor, pros­ titution, the liquor business, race hatred, and war? If any group of workers should be interested in creating a better condition in the world, this group should be interested. Jeremiah says that the birds know when it is time to go north and south, and they are punctual in their flights. "The stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah." Surely if the birds follow the course which the Eternal has planned for them, man, who has been endowed with reason and intellect, should strive to do even better. In this country the whole undiluted gospel is not always welcomed, but it is this same gospel which will save us if we are ever to be rescued from the crass materialism which surrounds us. We do not need knowledge or power, but more moral development. Our religious growth has not kept pace with our industrial and commercial achievements. We have been so busy building our earthly house that we have not even drawn the plans of our spiritual mansion. Some people today are like the leaders of the Germanic tribes, who, when the early missionaries proposed that they accept Christianity and be bap­ tized by immersion, consented upon one condition-that all right arms be exempted from immersion, since they were needed in wielding the sword against the enemy. They were not willing to make complete surrender to Christ. We must learn anew the lesson that it is either God or mammon. The ancient and medieval world held that the chief task of life was con­ templation, but our modern world has for its chief task the satisfaction of material wants and desires. Religion must become the center as well as the circumference of our being. We ought to take time for a spiritual in- 1937] Methodist Episcopal Church 129

ventory, and perhaps the time will be very profitably spent if we allow ~he floodgates of God's spiritual reservoirs to be raised and the cleansmg and healing waters to bathe our souls. May it be said of us that we lis­ tened to the Divine Voice and heeded its commands. When Rembrandt died, a writer said: "He left no money, no property, nothing but his clothes and working instruments. But he also left the world a priceless gift of art." May we lay up treasures in heaven day by day, and hasten the time when peace, good will, and salvation through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ shall become universal. What is more important for us than to seek, to discover through waiting upon Him in prayer, and to have made clear to us as in obedience we go forward, our Lord's will for us, our part for our day in His pro'gram for the world's redemption. S. C. RICE.

HOSPITAL REPORT Kentucky Annual Conference, Bishop Lowe, Members of the Conference, and Friends: Marble shafts or cenotaphs mean little, neither do brick and mortar make a hospital, but to build monuments in the hearts of men brings great content­ ment. Along with our efforts to rebuild broken bodies, your hospital has striven to assist in an intelligent and effective manner to discharge this public trust, for which the community has been outspoken in its praise. Since entering upon my present duties, I have been amazed to discover how little our good laymen know about our hospitals and their place in the life of the community, and for that reason think of them as cold, impersonal places, with white walls; with automatic mechanisms for nurses and gruff, unsympathetic doctors, bad food, hard beds. In your hospital at Pikeville this is not all true. Instead, we are doing what we can to make each patient feel as he enters, that he is coming into a veritable haven of rest. Sixteen persons were admitted as patients in our American hospitals every minute of the day and night, Sundays and work days, holidays and fete days, last year, and if Benjamin Franklin, who gave us our hospital system 160 years ago in the city of Philadelphia, were alive today he would be greatly concerned over this statement, and the fact that we had 323,000,- 000 hospital nursing days during the same twelve months. The hospital bed capacity is being increased at the rate of about seventy-five beds per day. In fact, today as never before in all time, in the field of hospitals and health, is the whole world looking to American initiative for the lengthening of human life, the relieving of suffering, and the prevention of disease. I believe it was Rudyard Kipling who, some thirty years ago, make the rather humorous observation that the people of the world, after all, were to be divided into only two classes, namely, doctors and patients. His observation was not greatly overdrawn, as 87% of all the people of America have been found physically defective. Our great church is courageously facing up to the responsibility of conserving this vast amount of wasted human life, by investing $70,000,000 in property and by spending nine and one-half millions of dollars annually in its efforts to heal the 300,000 sick and suffering who come to our own hospitals for this service each year. I shall seek in my report to interpret for you of the Kentucky Annual Conference the work of your own hospital at Pikeville for the year just closing. I shall try to show four things: First, a complete picture of the hospital facilities and allied activities for the care of the sick; second, the extent to which the facilities are being used; third, the cost of maintaining these agencies, and fourth, to forecast our probable peeds for the immediate future, and to recommend policies which we believe will make for more purposeful co-operation as well as a more efficient institutional service. These things the voluntary hospitals must do, in spite of the instability of our social, economic, and political life. Whether the trend of the present 130 Kentucky Conference [1937 means progress or retrogression for the voluntary hospital depends undoubt­ edly upon our adjustment to these new and different conditions. So, in our own hospital, I have been insisting upon as thorough knowledge as possible of the personalities, family life, economic and social background of each patient, which I think is so essential to the intelligent care of the sick and convalescent, causing thereby your institution to fulfill an indispensable social function before the very eyes of what may often seem to be a skeptical public. Report (Re: Annual Audit as of June 30, 1936): Assets including land, buildings, equipment, supplies, notes receivable, etc., $308,703.29. Added during the year in new equipment and improvements approximately $3,000. Some very substantial collections on old accounts and the cashing in on county warrants, some of which were several years old, have been made which, with the hearty support we have had from the churches and pastors of the Conference, have made it possible for us to reduce our indebtedness in the amount of $7,500, leaving a balance of $10,000, the direct obligation of the Kentucky Conference. All current obli­ gations, including salaries, have been met regularly. Second, the extent to which these facilities are being used: a splendidly furnished and attractive Nurses' Home is provided for the accommodation of our nurses, technician, and office help. We have what is known as the "Brown House," which I found being used as a storeroom for broken and unused furniture and the like, which I had repaired, painted, and converted into two small apartments for which the Hospital is now receiving $27 per month in rent. Our Hospital building is in an excellent state of repair, to which has been added during the year a new delivery room, a separate eye, ear, nose, and throat department, and a fully equipped urological department, which includes a new $1,290 Mobile-A, X-ray unit, completely standardizing our X-ray Department. Every corner of our Hospital plant, from the pent house of the elevator shaft to the basement, is in use almost constantly. There is a constant increase in the demands for private and semi-private rooms. Our bookkeeper came to my office door the other day and said she had only one private room in the house and which had been vacated only thirty minutes before, and there were five requests for the room, and wanted to know what to do. We have fourteen beds in a twelve-bed men's ward, all full most of the time. We have six beds for women on our sun porch and. full all the time. We have converted our sewing room on the second floor into a four-bed woman's ward, and most of the time we have had one and two beds in our reception room on the first floor, with a total daily average increase of patients for the past six months of 20% over the same period a year ago. So we have tried to conserve every inch of space, every dollar of investment, every minute of the time of our surgical, medical, nursing, and working staffs, to the end that the greatest gain possible might come to suffering humanity and eventually the kingdom of God. Third, the cost of maintaining these agencies has been held to a very conservative figure, I feel. Total gross cost of maintaining these facilities, $49,209.81; average cost per patient day, $4.54 (including payments on indebtedness); average cost per patient day (not including payments on notes), $4.06; average cost per patient day in 1935, $5.16. The decrease in the average gross cost per patient day from $5.16 in 1935 to $4.54 in 1936 and 1937, has been realized in spite of the $7,500 reduction in capital indebt­ edness and the adding of new equipment and improvements in the amount of $3,000 during the year. Fourth, to forecast our needs and recommend future policies: The fact that our Hospital has been overcrowded during the lean months of the year, namely, from April to September, does indicate what we may reasonably expect during the winter months just ahead. However, we shall strive to meet the situation the best· we can until something can be done. I firmlY believe that Pikeville and vicinity is not only capable but willing to assume, in due time, the responsibility for the enlargement of our physical plant as well as the equipping of same. As I have already stated at the District 1937] Methodist Episcopal Church 131

Conferences I have attended, new and large territories have been opened to us by the improving of old roads and the opening of new ones until now we serve through the hospitalization contracts between 14,000 and 15,000 people besides our private constituency. So I would recommend as a future policy that the church-at-Iarge pro­ mote "Booth Festivals" and rally with a generous support toward an early retirement of the balances of our debt, while World Service credit is granted, and Bishop Smith is urging our Ohio friends to do the same for the remainder of the amount allocated to them, and to allow Pikeville and vicinity the use of all their energies in the meeting of our present demands with the express understanding that this shall be done without incurring a debt, beyond reach of the current income of the Hospital, and the special gift of friends. And let us all remember as we face our day and task that- ely ou don't have to tell how you live each day; You don't have to say if you work or you play; A tried, true barometer serves in the place: However you live, it will show in your face. "If your life is unselfish, if for others you live, For not what you get, but how much you can give; If you live close to God in His infinite grace­ You don't have to tell it, it shows in your face!" METHODIST HOSPITAL OF KENTUCKY. Thomas B. Ashley, Superintendent.

RESOLUTION OF WORLD SERVICE COMMISSION Out of appreciation of the results of a partial emphasis upon the Million Unit Fellowship Movement which are, not only increased financial support, but also a rapidly widening interest in the world program of the church, be it resolved, that we of the Kenucky Annual Conference, in united session, by the acceptanc.e of the suggested goal of 2,207 units for our Conference do commend this movement, and further, do pledge ourselves and our churches to the whole-hearted support of this plan by our prayers, our gifts, and our lives, that the kingdom of our God may come to all the children of men. Signed: WORLD SERVICE COMMISSION.

REPORT OF THE WORLD PEACE COMMISSION The most superficial glimpse of the world situation reveals a degree of tension which steadily nears the point of an unprecedented explosion. The fact that Japan's war upon China is totally undeclared does not in the least mitigate its wickedness. The slaughter of human lives in Spain and China goes on apace, and each day the peril of greater complications looms before the world. It is a moment the gravity of which has rarely, if ever, been equalled in the history of mankind. In the West the law-abiding powers have at last combined in an effort to run down the pirate submarines, and to restore the safety of neutral mer­ chant shipping. Meanwhile Mussolini screams out his defiance of such a measure, and threatens to send a huge army to Spain, seize Madrid and plant his pliant tool, Franco, in the seat of power. Thus would militant Fascism secure a strangle hold upon Britain's life-line. The answer to this threat is the assignment to Italy of an insignificant role in the newly-formed patrol of the Mediterranean Sea. Mussolini is also notified that he can obtain no redress for this act of the democratic powers except as he appears before the conference now sitting at Noyon. This conference itself is the creation of the League of Nations. It should be remembered that Italy has not yet formally renounced her membership in 132 Kentucky Conference [1937

the League of Nations, though refusing to co-operate with it since the impo­ sition of sanctions in the Ethiopian War. Russia grimly watches Japan with one eye, and Hitler and the Mediterranean with the other. Germany in high dudgeon threatens Russia and promises her support to Mussolini in any adventure he may undertake. These are a few of the signs on the interna­ tional horizon. The Methodist Episcopal Church is a world organization, with churches, members, and institutions in some forty different countries. Enshrining and proclaiming the Christian message of personal salvation and social justice, it stands squarely against the war system. Committed, as we are, to the spread of the gospel, with its implications of social, political, and eco­ nomic reconstruction, we call for a federated movement of all agencies which oppose war. As the possibilities of world revolution appear more ominous, it seems a most opportune time for us to go on record with regard to certain specific objectives to which in principle we are already committed. 1. We declare it to be our fixed purpose to co-operate with other organi­ zations working for the resuscitation of the Kellogg Pact as an instrument of national policy. 2. It is our unalterable resolution to join hands with other nations in any constructive efforts looking toward the modification of the constitution of the League of Nations so that the resort to force by the imposition of physical sanctions shall be forever renounced. And, furthermore, in the light of recent events, we are ready to associate ourselves with any or all efforts to find new grounds upon which the United States may become a member state of the league. Also, we urge a renewal of the effort to secure the adhesion of our Government to the World Court. 3. We commend· President Roosevelt for his repeated and unequivocal assurances that he will do everything in his power to keep up out of war. 4. We also heartily approve his recent declaration of stringent neutrality in the various war zones of the world. F. E. ROSS, Chairman. C. N. WHITE. ODIS J. POLLEY.

REPORT OF THE RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE The one hundred and eleventh session of the Kentucky Conference met under conditions most auspicious. The cool bracing weather was invigorating to body and mind. The spirit of fellowship and good will that have always characterized Methodist Conferences was especially marked, climaxed by seasons of spiritual power when the presence of our Lord was very near. The pastor-host, O. W. Robinson, deserves our highest praise. Months of careful planning and work on his part have insured the success of our Conference. His labors have been re-enforced by many other fellow helpers in the Lord. Mrs. Edith Payne and her corps of assistants in the office ren­ dered most efficient service. Their earnest desire to serve even in the smallest details is much appreciated. The ladies of Grace Church and other churches, by their splendid service in the dining room, made every guest feel welcome. We desire to express our sincere appreciation to City Manager John W. Rawlings, Chief of Police Leo Livingston, and Chester A. Keslar, General Chairman of the entertaining church, for their unstinted services. Salem Methodist Episcopal Church has been most generous in granting us the use of their sanctuary. Other churches have assisted in the enter­ taining of the Conference, namely: Highland Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Southgate Community; Union Church, Covington; Salem Church, Newport; Trinity Church, Covington; Calvary Church, Bellevue; Shinkle Church, Covington. Our presiding Bishop, Titus Lowe, by his fairness, unfailing courtesy, administrative and preaching ability won the hearts of all. He came to us out of the great Northwest and in the language of another he can say con­ cerning Kentucky Methodism, "I came, I saw, I conquered." We shall long remember his spiritual and inspiring messages. We desire to express our deep appreciation to the Board of Bishops for assigning him as our presiding Bishop. His deep interest in the welfare of our Conference is appreciated by all. We desire to thank Dr. E. T. Franklin for his very helpful address. The Conference was very fortunate in securing the services of Dr. Merton S. Rice, one of the masters of the American pulpit. His ministry illustrates the power of the preached word today. We shall carry away with us the inspira­ tion of his messages. The Conference is grateful for the helpful addresses by Dr. George C. Douglass, Dr. George L. Morelock, Dr. E. D. Kohlstedt, Dr. Stanley Smith, Dr. Jesse Murrell, Dr. Deets Pickett. Several churches have contributed to the enrichment of our worship serv­ ices. We desire to thank Miss Harriet Rowlette, Mrs. Bess Hall Bodker for beautiful renditions in solo; Prof. Virgil Smith, of Union College, for efficient service in directing our worship in song; G. M. Haggard, Conference song leader. The choirs of Salem Church, Newport; Calvary, Bellevue; Grace, Newport; Southgate Community Methodist Episcopal Church, and the men's chorus of Grace Methodist Episcopal Church added immeasurably to the high level of the Conference. The Cincinnati Enquirer, Post, and Times-Star have all generously co­ operated in publicizing the Conference. We desire to thank the officials of the Cincinnati Baseball Club and the managers of the Zoological Gardens for courtesies rendered on Saturday. 134 Kentucky Conference [1937

Mr. Harry Payne, at the organ, employed his musical ability to the edifica­ tion of the Conference. The trio from Henderson Settlement sang to the enjoyment of all. The floral offerings of Schumann, Ft. Thomas; H. M. Oldfields, Barbour­ ville, and the families of E. P. Hall and J. G. Ragan added a beautiful setting to the deliberations of the Conference. We go forth to our tasks challenged by the problems of this day yet with the profound conviction that in the gospel of Jesus Christ we have the only solution to the perplexing issues of our day. Let us go forth in this spirit of that great hymn: Are ye able? still the Master Whispers down eternity And heroic spirits answer N ow, as then, in Galilee. RUSSELL R. PATTON, Chairman. H. J. HERVEY. G. A. GRAWEMEYER. R. T. WILSON. FLEM D. SAMPSON. MRS. L. G. GODBEY.

MINISTERS' WIVES' ASSOCIATION (Resolutions) We, the ministers' wives, attending this session of the Kentucky Con­ ference, wish to express our keen appreciation for the many courtesies extended to us. For the beautiful tea given by the wife of the pastor-host, and for the luncheon tendered by the Ministers' Wives' Association of Northern Ken­ tucky, we say "thank you." We feel that we will go back to our various fields of labor with new vision and inspiration, better able to carryon our part in the building of God's kingdom. MRS. E. W. ELROD. MRS. O. S. GARDNER. MRS. J. RALPH WOOD. CONFERENCE SUSTENTATION COMMISSION In order to meet the need of the underpaid ministers of the Kentucky Conference, the Commission on the Conference Sustentation Fund, consisting of William Weiler, Horace Sprague, J. R. Creamer, Clarence Krebs, H. E. Trent, I. S. Pineur, R. R. Patton, and C. N. White, recommend that funds be raised by making an Annual Conference Apportionment on the basis of the pastor's cash salary. Congregations who pay their pastors above $2,300 pay at the rate of five per cent; above $1,700 to $2,300 inclusive pay at the rate of four per cent; $1,400 to $1,700, three per cent; under that two per cent. We, the Committee, recommend that these funds be administered by the District Superintendents and two counselors from each district accordinO' to the needs of the pastors. The counselors be appointed by the District Superintendents and confirmed by the Conference.

BOARD OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION The Board of Religious Education of the Kentucky Annual Conference presents the following recommendations: 1. The setting up of leadership training schools and classes in the four districts of the Kentucky Conference and the use of First Series Courses in the local churches of the Conference, looking forward to the training of leaders for all departments of church work. 1937J Methodist Episcopal Church 135

2. The setting up of observational centers where desirable and possible. Approximately two for each district are contemplated. This plan involves the acceptance of the entire educational program for a local church, and undertaking to put that plan into operation under as close supervision as possible by our director, Dr. L. S. Norris. 3. The continuation of pastors' seminars on religious education to be held in each district at the time of the leadership training schools, mid­ winter and summer institutes, and other convenient times. 4. The inauguration of a Conference-wide youth program under the auspices of the recently organized Kentucky Conference Youth Council; recommending that the Kentucky Conference Youth Council be made the promotional agency for the total youth program. We recommend at least one state-wide meeting of Methodist youth and a youth night at the An­ nual Conference. This youth-night program to be set up by the Kentucky Conference Youth Council. 5. The continuation of co-operation with the summer institutes, recom­ mending a graded program for intermediates, high school, and older young people, and the co-ordination of dates to make possible the presence of the director of religious education and other workers at all institutes. 6. An "educational hour" on the program of the Conference, in charge of the Board of Religious Education. 7. We urge all pastors to observe Rally Day, and send their Rally Day offerings to the Board of Education, 740 Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois, marked Rally Day-for Kentucky and Ohio Conferences. 8. That this Board of Religious Education be definitely recognized as an advisory board to the work of the religious education director in the Kentucky Conference. We heartily commend the splendid, high-type, efficient, and effective work of our director of religious education, and pledge to him hearty co­ operation in raising the standards of leadership training in all Methodist fields of endeavor throughout our Conference. This Conference concurs in the action of the Ohio Conference in requesting the reappointment of L. S. Norris as our director of religious education. UNION COLLEGE Be it resolved that the Kentucky Conference endorse the forward program of Union College adopted by the Board of Trustees of Union College for the College. The immediate objectives of the program call for the securing of funds, $100,000 for a new woman's dormitory and $100,000 for additional endowment. H. E. BULLOCK, President. A. S. BENNETT, Secretary. DR. E. P. HALL Board of Trustees of Union College laments with the Kentucky Confer­ ence the passing of the Rev. Edward Proctor Hall, D.D. Dr. Hall was Chair­ man of the Board of Trustees from 1930 and a member of the board since 1916. Dr. Hall was an honored alumnus of Union College, having been graduated in 1908. The college conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity in 1929. He gave himself untiringly to the work of the Board of Trustees. His wise counsel, unselfish service, and wise leadership will be greatly missed. To his wife, Cora B. Hall, and son, J. C. Hall, the Board of Trustees sends its deepest sympathy. JOHN O. GROSS. A. S. BENNETT. HENRY ZIMMERMAN. 136 Ken tucky Conference [1937

STATE OF THE CHURCH The Kentucky Annual Conference desires to make this pronouncement in the interest of a greater spiritual development of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Kentucky: We recognize the appalling condition of our church membership rolls. The nonresident inactive members listed in some church records cumber the rolls to the embarrassment of pastors and membership alike. We rec­ ommend a revision of all church membership records, to be completed by the 1938 session of the Annual Conference, reducing the records to actual bona fide resident active members, keeping in a separate record all non­ resident inactive members, according to the Discipline. We urge that the laymen and ministers of each congregation be respon­ sible for the training of children; that leadership training classes for adults be promoted, and that some evangelistic program or Preaching Mission be adopted by every church in the Conference. Wherever possible, Schools of Religion and Ministers' Seminars should be held. We recognize our obligation to the poorly paid ministers in our Confer­ ence, and request each District Superintendent to appoint, with the consent of the Conference, two men in each district who, with the District Super­ intendent, are to become the Ways and Means Committee for securing anti administering funds to supplement the inadequate support of many of our preachers, to be known as a Sustentation Fund. (See Report.) We deplore the condition that has arisen in many of our churches whereby organized Sunday-school classes, men's clubs, and in some places young peo­ ple's societies, separate themselves from the general program of the church. No church school can long exist that ignores the church that gave it birth, nor can men and women find the same comfort in worship in an adult Bible class or in the church school that they may find in the worship service of the church. We recommend that all teachers in the Sunday school be mem­ bers of the church and attend its services, for there can be no organization other than the Church of the Living God, the Body of Christ, and all func­ tions of its departments must support the church by our presence, our prayers, and our gifts. There is no room for any group or class in the Body of Christ, His Church. We demand that our church membership adhere to the high moral stand­ ards set by our fathers: to keep the Sabbath Day holy; to attend places of worship, and to be at all times examples of temperance and sobriety. We further insist that a minister who does not set a godly example by keeping his pledge in regard to tobacco and debt; or, on compromising with the forces of intemperance, shall be subject to examination by his District Superin­ tendent, if a Local Preacher; or by his brethren if he is a member of the Annual Conference. We request that a reprint of this report be placed in the hands of each District Superintendent, who shall in turn present it to each Quarterly Con­ ference in his district. JOHN R. CREAMER, Chairman; C. NEVIL WHITE, Secretary; F. E. ROSS. STATISTICAL AND FINANCIAL ASHLAND DISTRICT-STATISTICIAN'S REPORT

THE REV. EDWARD P. HALL, D.D. The Rev. Edward P. Hall, D.D., was born in Hardin County, Kentucky, February 9, 1881. When a child he was converted in a little one-room church near Solway, Kentucky. His early life was spent in the county or village and he never lost his love for rural life. He later moved to Louisville, Kentucky, and learned the tailor's trade. He united with Wesley Chapel in Louisville, May 6, 1900, and finding that "the Great Tailor designed the high pattern of ministerial service for his garment of usefulness" he entered Union Col­ lege to secure an education in preparation for his life work. At the commencement of 1908 he received the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Later his Alma Mater con­ ferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Di­ vinity. Not satisfied with a college degree he entered Drew Theological Seminary, from which he graduated in 1912. He served the following charges: Bellevue, 1912-14; Covington (Trinity), 1915-16; Covington (Union), 1917-22; Harlan 1923-28; Ashland (First), 1929-31; District Superintendent Covington District, 1932-37. In all these positions he left a record of work well done. He was "dili­ gent in business, serving the Lord" in whatever task he undertook. Giving strict attention to the work to which he was assigned it was always his rule of life to labor earnestly for the people to whom he ministered. Every task small or great received his careful attention. In all his labors he endeavored to give his best service. One of his most valuable contributions in his ministry was the service he rendered to the Conference institutions. Serving on various boards and Conference committees, his counsel was wise and his interest unselfish, and in his attention to matters pertaining to the Conference he was dependable and diligent. He loved the Kentucky Conference and gave his best endeavors to the promoting of its interest. Recognized as a leader he used his leadership as a responsibility rather than seeking the applause and popularity of such a position. Wherever his conviction led him he could be counted upon to stand regardless of the opinions of others. Whatever duty demanded, he tried to meet the condi­ tions imposed without flinching. Our Conference placed great confidence in his wise leadership, good judgment, and his well-known practice of fair dealing. Truly a leader in Israel has fallen. Two great passions dominated the life of Brother Hall. One was the fact and power of his conversion. He gave his heart to God in early youth and the fact of his conversion became one of the great events in his life. While he did not talk so much about this experience, it always ruled his spirit. Always he could look to his Christian experience for an anchor in every storm of life. It always held him true. He believed implicitly in the fact of conversion in his own life. 171 172 Ken tucky Conference [1937

Another dominating factor of his life was his passion for preaching. His great aim was to be a "good minister of Jesus Christ," and this aim was realized. Wherever he ministered he commanded respect for the ministry of his church. But one of his controlling desires was to be a good preacher. This he accomplished by diligent study and careful preparation. When he entered the pulpit his message was prepared and his congregation was not disappointed. His attitude toward preaching was that the people deserved his best and this he endeavored to give. His preaching was of high order and gave his audience food for the soul. The funeral service was conducted at Union Church, Covington, Kentucky, July 19, 1937. The Revs. O. W. Robinson, John O. Gross, and the writer were the speakers. A host of friends, including many of the members of the Ken­ tucky Conference, were in attendance. His wife, Mrs. Cora Hall, of Fort Thomas, Kentucky, and a son, Chestine Hall, of Campbellsburg, Kentucky, survive. A tribute paid to another great minister might well be said of him that: Like Abraham he went where he was called and was faithful in all things. Like Jonathan he met many a discouraged brother and cheered him by giving him strength from God. Like Daniel he was true through life to the teachings of his youth. Like Malachi he believed in bringing all the tithes into the Lord's store­ house. Like John the Baptist he delighted to cry to the multitude, "Behold the Lamb of God." Like St. John he believed with all his soul that Jesus Christ was the Son of God. Like Jesus, his Divine Master, whom he followed daily, "he went about doing good." Like Enoch he walked with God and was not, for God took him. W. W. SHEPHERD.

J. G. RAGAN The Rev. J. G. Ragan, Portsmouth, Ohio, was born October 25, 1853; died April 20, 1937, at the age of 83 years, 5 months, and 25 days. He was a son of Rev. and Mrs. G. G. Ragan (deceased), of Pulaski County, Kentucky. July 14, 1878, he was united in marriage to Nannie Coffee, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Coffee, of Stanford, Kentucky, and to them seven children were born-four sons and three daughters: Rev. Ollie G. Ragan, who preceded him in death; Mrs. Minnie Schwader, Mrs. Susie Jones, and W. L. Ragan, of Portsmouth, Ohio; Mrs. Myrtle Haggard, of Beaver, Ohio; James G. Ragan, of Barbourville, West Vir­ ginia, and Rev. W. H. Ragan, of Knoxville, Tennessee. Mrs. Ragan was summoned in death October 26, 1928. From very early youth Mr. Ragan seemed to be one of God's chosen ones, and true to the call in the service of his Master, he entered the min­ istry in Southern Methodist Episcopal Church and devoted his services there for a period of four years, and in the year 1887 entered the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, to which he gave forty years of active service before declining health made it necessary for him to superanuate. To be retired did not mean inactivity to Mr. Ragan. Although unable to serve in the traveling connection of the church, his work for the salvation of souls never ceased. The many trials, heartaches, and hardships encoun­ tered in his work in his earlier years, problems which were always solved 1937] Methodist Episcopal Church 173 in reverential prayer, served to fit him so well for that loving ministry which he gave to the family and intimate friends during the last few years, when most of his time was spent around the family fireside. No philosophy, no mental or spiritual training can fit one for a high position here or in realms beyond unless it first fits one for the place in which they find themselves, fits them for their nearest duties with a willing, cheer­ ful courage and trust. Only can the heights be reached by climbing the stairs of everyday things, now and then stopping on the landings of silence for the lifting of the mind above the worries of life, a searching within for the hidden things. Mr. Ragan put this thought into practice in his life, and we who knew him best shall always be grateful for the privilege of having spent so much time with him in this atmosphere of devotion and trust. He did his best, he played the man. His ways were straight, his soul was clean. His failings not unkind or mean. He loved his fellow men and tried to help and strengthen them. In all his life God was glorified. Beside the children there are two brothers, one sister, thirty grandchil­ dren, thirteen great-grandchildren, many other relatives, and innumerable friends who are bereaved because of his going, but like Paul, he fought a good fight, he kept the faith, and we should rejoice with him that in finishing his course he now may reap his reward which is the "Crown of everlasting life." Bro. Ragan's service in the Kentucky Conference was as follows: Co­ lumbia, 1887-1889; Barbourville circuit, 1890-1891; Mintonville, 1892; Bethel­ ridge, 1893; Grant, 1894-1896; Wallingford, 1897-1898; Foster, 1899; Grant, 1900; Booneville and Beattyville, 1901; Williamsburg, 1902-1904; Gray, 1905; Middlesboro and Corbin, 1906-1907; Salt Lick, 1908-1909; Fullerton, 1910; West Covington, 1911-1913; Nicholasville, 1914-1916; Olive Hill, 1917-1918; retired, 1919. Just a few days before Bro. Ragan was relieved of the pains and the burdens of life, he had the pleasure of christening a great-grandson, John G. Ragan Lang, and also a dear little friend, Joann Barber. He was con­ scious at this time that for him the "gates" would soon be opened wide, and prayed that all the loved ones gathered round for this service of baptism would dedicate their lives in service to Him who doeth all things well. His life and his influence was a benediction to all who knew him. MRS. MINNIE SCHWADER.

MRS. IDA PEARL GARLAND Mrs. Ida Pearl Garland, wife of the Rev. Charles R. Garland, pastor of the Benham Community Church, died at Benham, Kentucky, Sunday afternoon, October 4, 1936, from injuries sustained in an automobile accident, Saturday, near Cumberland, while the family was en. route to their new charge, First Church, Paints­ ville. Funeral services were held at the Benham Church, Monday afternoon, October 5, 1936, by the pas­ tor, ,J. 1. Meyer, and interment was at Dandridge, Tenn., following funeral services there at the home church. Pastors assisting and present were: Dr. J. O. Gross; the Rev. S. A. Matthews, Cumberland; the Rev. E. W. Elrod, Harlan; the Rev. W. J. Simpson, Baptist Church, Lynch, Kentucky; the Rev. C. N. White, Barbourville, and the Rev. J. M. Florence, Baxter.

MRS. LUCY MORGAN WRIGHT Mrs. Lucy Morgan Wright was born August 14, 1863, and deceased June 21, 1937, aged 73 years, 10 months, and 7 days. She was married to the Rev. G. W. Wright, a member of the Kentucky Conference, on May 21, 1884, and served with him in the follow­ ing charges : Wayne and Clinton, Kings Mountain, Bethelridge, Science Hill, Evarts, College Hill, and Paint Lick. Her husband retired in 1930, after which their home was in Science Hill. Mrs. Wright w~s a wonderful wife and mother, and ministered to the needs of her family with unselfish devotion. She lived a good, earnest Christian life with a buoyant faith so that in her death those comforting words of the Scripture were very applicable:

"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labors; And their works do follow them." She is survived by her husband, Rev. G. W. Wright; three children: Elmer, Ella, and Melvin; eight grandchildren; one sister, and one brother. The funeral services were held in the Science Hill Methodist Church, conducted by the District Superintendent, S. C. Rice, assisted by Rev. M. G. Shelley. VIII noll of ®ur ~onoreb J)tab .

The first Conference in Kentucky was held in 1790; but the work in Kentucky was not set apart as the Kentucky Conference till 1821. Meanwhile, death was claiming its own among the preachers. Henry Birchett died in 1794; Francis Acuff, in 1795; Lewis Hunt, in 1801; Learner Blackman, in 1815. The roll since that time is, approximately, as follows:

DIRECTIONS FOR STUDENTS AND EXAMINERS 1. The recommendations of the Discipline (201) to establish a midyear school for undergraduates has been met by the Conferences of the Cincinnati Area by establishing a Summer School of Theology at Delaware, Ohio, convening during the month of June each year. All undergraduates, including Accepted Supply Pastors, are required to attend this Summer School of Theology and to take all their examinations there, except those in attendance at one of our schools. Classes are formed in all studies on which examinations are required in the four vears of the Conference course, both for Traveling and Local Preachers. . 2. No candidate shall be received on trial in an Annual Conference until he shall have met the requirements for admission to college as recognized by the Uni­ versity Senate. Beginning with the Fall Conference of 1936, two years of college work shall be required as condition for reception on trial in an approved institution. and beginning with the Fall Conference of 1938, the minimum requirement for ad­ mission shall be graduation from an approved college. In addition to the foregoing the Kentucky Conference will not receive an applicant who has passed the age of thirty-four or who does not have an appointment to a charge in the Conference. (See Conference Minutes, 1934.) 3. All required written work i.n the books to be stl;ldied must be completed and grades in the hands of the Registrar before the opeOlng date of the School of Theology. No student will be permitt~d to enroll in the school who has not com­ pleted this written work before the opeOlng day and had same graded by Conference Examiner. 4 No examination will be given at the Annual Conference to the men in the four-year course of study, except by special permission of the Conference on the 179 180 Kentucky Conference [1937

recommendation of the Board of Examiners, and that only on account of sickness or some other urgent cause. 5. All written work on the collateral subjects must be in the hands of the Examiners fifteen days before the Conference opens. No written work will be accepted after the session opens, and students who fail to comply with this rule will be conditioned on the subjects, unless a satisfactory reason is presented. 6. All examinations, including "required written work" and sermons, shall be carefully written with pen or typewriter, on letter-size typewriter paper, on one side of the paper only. Each paper shall be endorsed with the name, residence, and Conference class of the student, also the name of the study and the name of the instructor. Postage for the return of papers shall be sent by students to the Ex­ aminers. 7. Students wishing to substitute work done in one of our theological schools for the studies in the Conference course shall present their credits to the Examiner of course on which substitute is desired. 8. When a preacher in full connection fails to be advanced in his work in the Conference course of study for a given year, said year shall not be counted as a year of effective service unless he is in attendance upon an approved school or is ex­ cused by a two-thirds vote of his Conference upon the recommendations of the Board of Examiners. (Paragraph 199, Section 5.) 9. No candidate shall be advanced in his studies who is conditioned in more than one book upon which examination is required nor in more than two books in the collateral studies. Any member on trial who does not complete the first two years of the Course of Study within four years shall be discontinued, and any full member who fails to complete the entire four years of the Course of Study within eight years shall be located, unless, in either case, extension of time shall be recommended by a two-thirds vote of the Board of Ministerial Training and author­ ized by a two-thirds vote of the Annual Conference. In no case shall a person have a larger total than ten years in the Course of Study, and any person failing to com­ plete the Course within this ten-year period shall not be permitted to join a Con­ fererice again on trial. This section, however, shall not apply for the period of time in which the candidates are carrying regular work in residence in an approved theological seminary. (Paragraph 199, Section 6.) 10. Candidates for admission on trial may receive instruction at the Summer School of Theology and take the examinations there, but such an arrangement shall not deprive any candidate for admission on trial from being examined at the seat and time of the Annual Conference. Candidates for admission on trial who were unable to attend the School of Theology are required to take such examinations at seat of Annual Conference on day before the Conference convenes. 11. The Board of Examiners shall convene at the seat and time of the Annual Conference before the session opens, to review and complete the work of the year and arrange for the work of the year to come. (Paragraph 201, Section 6.) 12. Accepted Supply Pastors (see Paragraphs 171, 172) who are giving their full time to pastoral work under the District Superintendents shall be required to take the Conference Course of Study for Traveling Preachers, year by year, beginning with the Course for Admission on Trial, under the Annual Conference Board of Ministerial Training, and while pursuing their studies shall attend the sessions of the Summer Schools for Ministerial Training where such schools are provided. Any accepted Supply Pastor who fails to observe the requirements of this section, or who shall fail to complete two years of the Course of Study within four years, and the entire Course within eight years, shall not be employed by a District Super­ intendent. (Paragraph 201, Section 7.)
