AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. We beg to submit the following report: . Recognizing as we do the great good done by the American Bible Society m the spread of the \Vord of God among the nations of the earth and the extraordinary demands made for the Word at home and abroad, ~e pledge ourselves to greater effort to secure more funds. A. S. GODBEY, W. H. MUNSEY, E. B. HILL, Chairman. T. M. ANDERSON.

AUDITOR'S REPORT. The accounts and vouchers of the District Superintendents and Chair­ man_of the Board of Stewards have been examined and found to be correct. J. F. HOPKINS.

BOOK CONCERN ACCOUNTS. Another year of success has come to the Book Concern, as the result of the loyal patronage of the ministers and laymen of the Church. We note with pleasure the increase in the dividends from year to year. Our repre­ sentative requests all our ministers to settle all accounts as early in the session of the Conference as possible. N. H. YOUNG, J. W. CANTRELL, L. R. GODBEY.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS. This is an age of reading. Books, magazines, and newspapers are avail­ able as never before. The very fact of the ease by which reading matter may be obtained constitutes a danger often overlooked. This danger is lack of discrimination. And because of the strenuous life that many lead, their reading matter is selected with a view to interest only. Therefore it is the duty of the Christian minister and layman to aid the reading public in the selection of only the best books. For no individual has time to read all the good books. We earnestly urge our ministers and other leaders to lend their assistance in the spread of the best literature. We especially recommend the publications of the Methodist Episcopal Church. W. W. SHEPHERD, Chairman.

EPWORTH LEAGUE. The Epworth League has been a helpful factor in the uplifting of our young people to higher planes of earnest living and clearer thinking. It stands for the salvation of the entire man, body, mind, and spirit, redeemed and kept unto life eternal. A great benefit would come to us through the Epworth League if there were a larger utiiization of the excelIent opportunities which it presents. 215 216 Kentucky Conference

Believing that religious literature is a potent power for disseminating knowledge, for the aiding of culture, and for the evangelization of the world, . we therefore urge the circulation of the EpWORTH HERALD among our young people. J. M. MELEAR.

EDUCATION. In the illuminating words of Jesus Christ, the Divine Leader of men, "Learn of Me," and in those of Paul, His inspired apostle, "Study to show thyself approved unto God," we have the attitude of the Church fully ex­ pressed toward education. We would urge upon all our people the necessity of sitting at the feet of the Great Teacher of teachers, and there learning the deep things of God; and we would also urge the necessity of heeding the in­ struction of the apostle, "Study," that we may the better give an intelligent expression to the great truths revealed to the heart. . The Conference is delighted with the assurance given by Dr. Nicholson that the Board of Education which he represents is getting back of our educa­ tional institutions as never before. We welcome any assistance this Board may render in helping us to get our educational institutions on a more solid basis. We most heartily commend the excellent work of our secondary schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries located at Madison, Boston, Middle­ town, Evanston, Chattanooga, and elsewhere. From these educational centers have come many trained men to strengthen our ministryiri Kentucky. And we desire for all our schools the prayers and patronage of the people. Especially would we call attention to Union College, so well equipped to care for the intellectual, social, and spiritual life of our youth. EDWARD P. HALL, S. K. HUNT, A. F. FELTS. A. H. DAVIS.

FREEDMEN'S AID SOCIETY. The work of the Freedmen's Aid Society during the past year has gone on with leaps and bounds as never before in its history. Students are coming in such large numbers that we are unable to accommodate them all. Recently four of our leading educators were commissioned by the Church to go into the South and visit these schools. The principal thing that sticks out of their report everywhere is the magnificent work that is being done with very limited resources, and the tremendous need of more buildings, better equipment, and larger pay for better teachers. The crowded condi­ tions impressed themselves on these Commissioners at every point. In the twenty-two schools we have 479 teachers and 6,588 students. As usual, the schools are putting increased emphasis on industrial and normal work. The teaching of the industries is the most expensive form of educa­ tion. As rapidly as the Church supplies the funds the industries will be in­ creased at all the schools. On the report of the Commissioners, many changes and improvements are being introduced. Principal among these was the taking off of the name "University" from all the schools, with the single exception of the one at Atlanta. Those doing college work will be called colleges, and those doing normal and industrial work will be called institutes and academies. This is not a reduction in the work done, but only a classification to more cleatly indicate the character of the schools. The Jubilee Movement is taking a larger hoJd on the Church everywhere. The colored Conferences have pledged more than $100,000, their share of the amount to be raised, and already have put into the treasury in cash over $40,000. It is now up to the Church at large to meet the challenge of our colored people in the South to give the $400,000, which, with the $100000 pledged by the colored people, will make a half million Jubilee Offering' for Methodist Episcopal Church 217 new buildings, equiJ)ment, and endowments, so sorely needed in these school­ Resolved, That w.e app~ove the Jubilee Movement, and we will ur "~ our Chu.rches to co~tnbute l~berally toward the half million dollars propos~d to be raIsed for Jubilee Offellng. T. M. ANDERSON, Secretar>:. J. D. WALSH, Chairman. G. W. BUNTON.

FOREIGN MISSIONS. Regardl~ss o~ wars ,~nd rumors of wars, the banner of our Christ is going forwar~. It IS wntten, My pe?ple shall be willing in the day of Thy power." We b~heve the day of opportumty for Foreign Missions is here as it has never been In t.he ~ast.. Let us therefore pray the Lord of Harvest to send forth laborers m ?IS vmeyard, and a baptism of the Holy Ghost come upon the Church unt11 we shall see placed upon God's altars means sufficient to carry the gospel to the remotest parts of the earth. J. W. CANTRELL, W. H. MORRIS, R. T. HARPER.

HOME MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION. T.he building up of Christ's Kingdom here and now is the paramount work mcumbent upon the followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. This means bringing men and women into living relations with him, and building them up into a faith, love, fellowship, worship, and service constituting the real kingdom of God on earth. It is the salvation of the home town, home city, and home land. This may not be, indeed, I do not think it is an easy job. Certainly not as easy as when the people to whom we went were patriotic and Protestant Americans. The Italian, Pole, Hun, Finn, and Lithenian hordes who have come and are coming to us are far from the liking of many Methodist Chris­ tians; but Methodism is committed to this work not only by John Wesley, who said, "The world is my parish," but by Him who died on Calvary for the saving of all races, and whom we profess to love and follow. Has God nothing to do with the coming of these peoples to our doors and streets and into all our industries? They are here, in the strange providence of God. to bless or curse our home land, to enlarge and enrich our Church or to one day close her doors, according as we, the professed people of God, reach and save or neglect and leave them to themselves and the enemies of Christ and His Kingdom. Every Church in Methodism, if capable, must be on the job or finally lose her place in the Kingdom of Christ. These peoples must be saved and built up in Christ's Kingdom of life, love, and worship, or they will perish in ignorance and sin. If we can not do this work then let us give up and get out of the way, that others may take it up in Christ's name; and if we can do it­ and we can -then it is high time that we were on the job with a zeal that will eat out of every last member of every Methodist Church all stinginess, all indifference, and that will lay at His feet the lives and the money possible and necessary for the salvation of our country. The people in our Churches have dollars for nearly everything under heaven but for Christ and His work. The slogan" America for Christ" was timely and significant. Let us take it up again and .make it to ling into th.e heart and mind of every member of ev~ry Church m our: Conf~rence, UI;tll it shall have brought to His altars the lives and mean~ With which to bnng Christ and the Church to the unsaved and Churchless m our home land. Therefore, Resolved, That this leport of your Committee be read from every pulpit in our Conference this year. WM. F. TAYLOR, E. R. OVERLEY, H. D. COOPER. S 218 Kentucky Conference

RESOLUTIONS. It was profitable to Abraham when he entertained three men in his tent who were messengers of God, and gave Abraham and Sarah the promise of a son, though they were old and well-stricken in age. Lot entertained two men who, though they were only men to the Sodomites, were angels-Divine Messengers-to Lot, for they led his family out from under the impending judgment of fire. Reuel entertained a Hebrew refugee from Egypt, and God gave him an illustrious son-in-law. Surely John Wesley little thought when he devised the prototypes of Methodist Conferences what a school of training in the Christian grace of hospitality the Holy Spirit was inaugurating through him. Doubtless, when we peruse biographies in the archives of heaven we will be enraptured with the good mutually given by hosts and guests brought together by our Conferences. God reward our Covington hosts and their children for their gracious hospitality to us. To William Sims, the janitor of this Church, we extend our hearty thanks for his services and courtesies. To the youthful, spirited but veteran entertainer of Conferences-Brother Harrop-and his flock and choir, we are grateful for both the fulfillment of our wants .and the anticipa­ tion of our wishes. None of our pastors will be more welcome to serve an old charge than Bishop Leete will be welcome henceforth to serve, illuminate, and grace our Kentucky Conference. Last, but not least, we especially thank the ladies for the noon-day repasts. W. G. BRADFORD.

WHEREAS, Rev. W. H. Dickerson, D. D., who so faithfully has served the Ashland District of the Kentucky Conference during the past year, finds it necessary to return to his former Conference of Ohio, and WHEREAS, During his brief stay among us has shown himself to be brotherly, sincere, and devoted to the work of our Conference, and WHEREAS, His Christian fellowship has materially added to the connec­ tional brotherhood of the great Methodist Episcopal Church, and has linked us on to himself with endeating friendship; therefore, Resolved, That we hereby extend to him our sincerest appreciation, and assure him of our best wishes for himself pelsonally, and a hope for his continued success in the work of the ministry. G. W. BUNTON.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. The Sunday League of America is an organization of which compara­ tively few people know anything. It has a big job. Its object is to make the United States of America a Sabbath-observing nation, and to illustrate the highest, purest type of Christian civilization that the world has ever known. Pius X said in an address in the Vatican to a body of Americans, "\Ne expect you in the great land of yours to solve for all the world the greatest problems of the twentieth century." One of the problems is for us to call a halt on the tendencies to work day and holiday Sunday, and make it a quiet and thoughtful day at least. Only work of strict mercy and necessity should be allowed, and in all such cases the toiler must have one day's rest in seven. Sunday is, or at least should be, the day of rest, meditation, and devotion. L. R. GODBEY.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The gradual elimination of religious education from the public s{'hool and the secularization of our higher institutions of learning practically make the Sunday school responsible for imparting religious instruction to the vouth of our land. . To meet this responsibility a new zeal for efficiency becomes imperative. The Sunday school mnst be made what its name and task imply-a school Methodist Episcopal Church 2I9 for religious education: It must seek to secure boys and girls for the Church, and develop them until they are capable of taking leadership in the Church and welfare movements as the Church expects to promote. For this reason we urge the member~ bf this Conference to give redoubled attention to the work of the Sunday school in the coming year. Nothing can be more important than a definite plan to secure capable teachers. The Teachers' Training Course now being offered by our Board of Sun­ day Schools is exceedingly interesting and practical. \Ve recommend its use everywhere. We also recommend that our pastors and Sunday school boards give renewed attention to the question of the lesson material. There are many publications, but none better, and few as good, as those published by our own Methodist Book Concern. We highly appreciate the work of our Board of Sunday Schools through­ out the whole Church and in many needy and neglected fields at home and abroad, and we would especially emphasize their work within the bounds of our own Conference through our efficient and indefatigable Sunday school missionary, W m. Jones. We are very anxious that our Conference should bring up our apportion­ ment for the Board of Sunday Schools. We therefore urge our brethren to do their best in this respect. A. F. FELTS, Chairman, O. J. CARDER, JOHN CHEAP.

STATE OF THE CHURCH. The relative condition of the Church at any given time or place is the measure of present power and future promise for the help and salvation of men. We are not only thankful that the Church directs every department of philanthropy, opens the sources of intellectual development, and of all that is good and righteous, but we are profoundly grateful to our Gorl. for the showers of spiritual blessings that have descended upon our beloved Zion in this our Kentucky Conference, in the SCOles that have been saved, and in the progress made in every department of our work. J. F. HOPKINS, J. R. HOWES, A. H. DAVIS.

TEMPERANCE. We heartily applaud the accomplishments of the Anti-Saloon League in our State and Nation, and pledge it our hearty co-operation. N. J. Palmer merits our gratitude and our confidence. We also congratulate the Ken­ tucky State-Wide Prohibition Society for its earnest service, and give our knightly homage to the ubiquitous Woman's Christian Temperance Union. We thank God for the steady progress of the Temperance Cause. Nine States of our Union enjoy absolute prohibition of the sale of in­ toxicating beverages. Thirty-five other States have partial prohibition. Uncle Sam has prohibited the traffic in his immediate household-the National Capitol building, in National and State soldiers' homes, in the navy, in military forts and reservations, in Indian countries, and in other specified areas under Federal control. More than forty-seven millions of our popula­ tion, and seventy-one per cent of the are

National legislation only is adequate for its final overthrow. When Uncle Sam says to it, "Stand not upon the order of your going, but go at once," it will be too much of a gentleman, as Sam Jones said of the Devil, to stay where it is not wanted. Though the political citadels of the Liquor Traffic are being invested by hostile sentiment and legislation, yet; as our Civil War halted and delayed the progress of Temperance, so we are in great danger just now lest the world-wide demoralization of the European War give lawless license to the powers of evil in our own country. So far as the significance of motives may be measured by their purity, and hence by their lasting power in human affairs, it is of vastly more importance to the world that the Liquor Traffic should be abolished in the United States than that Berlin should fall into the hands of the Slavs or Paris into the hands of the Teutons or Alsace and Lorraine into the hands of the French. To win our moral war we have only to do for the Lord what Churchill told the Britishers to do in order to win. " I am sure," said he, "that all you have to do is to endure, and you will conquer. You have only to persevere to save yourselves and to save all those who rely on you. You have only to go right on; and at the end of the road, be it short or long, victory and honor will be found." W. G. BRADFORD.

REV. H. J. RAMEY. Rev. H. J. Ramey was born in Rowen County, Kentucky, April 3, 1837. He was the son of Thomas and Mary Ramey. He received his education in the common schools of his time. He began his business career when about sixteen with William Price as partner. I think it was the carpenter trade. He was converted and joined the Methodist Church, South, in 1853, under the labors of W. S. Hunt. He was married to Margaret A. Bristow, daughter of Rev. J. H. Bristow, of Bath County, Kentucky, January 9,1857. He united with the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1863. Was licensed to p~e~ch as a local preacher at Asbury Chapel in 1864 by Rev. T. M. Reeves, presldmg elder, and supplied Step-Stone Circuit for six months of that Con­ ference year. He was received on trial into the Kentucky Conference of the Methodist Church at the Conference held in Newport, Bishop Morris pre­ siding (in September, I think), in 1865. He was received into full connection at the Conference held in Lexington in 1867. His first few years were spent in the Louisville District. The wmk was hard and the salary small. Then for several years in the Olivet Circuit, Robertson County. He was several years in each County. At different times was pastor at Tolleson Circuit. For six years he was presiding elder of the Ashland District. He taught school for some years and also practiced medicine for some time, but these lapses from the regular ministry, I think, was caused by the effects of a sun­ stroke received while doing his pastoral work. At one time he transferred to the North Indiana Conference, and was there three years, then returned to finish his life work in Kentucky. He retired in"1897. He was in Annual Conference relations from 1865 to 1869, and in his retired relation from 1899 to April 28, 1914. His ministerial life was between fOlty-eight and forty-nine years. He passed to his reward April 28, 1914, from his home in Salt Lick, Bath County, Kentucky. ApproJ\fiate services were held in our church there by his pastor and District Superintendent, and his remains now are at rest in the cemetery at Ashland, Kentucky. Brother Ramev's conversion was sound, and brought into action for the Kingdom of God all of his natural endowments. As soon as he felt a call to the ministry his thirst for more complete mental furnishing greatly in­ creased, and not having such books as he needed nor the money to buy them, a good friend loaned to him such as he owned that suited his mental tastes, and from that on he was a diligent student of all books that would help to understand and to preach the Word of God. His sermons ,,:~re therefore full of spiritual nourishment for his people. They showed a dlhgent prepa­ ration. A member of the Southern Methodist Church said, "There is always a message in them." I think that he felt the burden of his message. When he received an appointment he accepted it as from God, ~nd felt responsible for the eternal welfare of each man, woman, boy, and gIrl, and down to the latest born babe within his range of that work. They were the flock, he the shepherd .. . As a consequence he was the most indefatigable pastor I' ever knew. He felt that he must know all of his people at their homes-know them as individuals and their personal peculiarities, in order to know ho.w to meet their needs. Hence he visited as pastor, instructed and prayed wlth and for 221 222 Kentucky Conference them. He did not neglect any because it required a long, hard walk. If any soul had gone astray he went after that wounded lamb, like the shepherd of "the ninety and nine." "Out in the mountain he heard its cry, Sick and helpless and ready to die." He braved the toil and danger to bring it back home. His preaching became more effectual as his people learned of his deep interest in them. He was also a master of details. He knew the value of small things and their ultimate importance. He neglected nothing, however seemingly trivial, if it might in any way aid in his work. His experience and peculiar methods fitted him for his work as presiding elder, and I think that he had such good judgment of men, and knew so well what pastoral charges needed as would enable him to make the wisest use of the material at his disposal, to meet the needs of the different circuits and stations in his dis­ tric.t. Most of the Superintendents who fail in building up a district owe their failure to incongruous appointments. When I needed a wise man to organize a camp-meeting in Lewis County, the Conference provided in H. J. Ramey, pastor of Tollesboro Circuit, just such a man. Much credit for this institution is due to his diligence and dis­ cretion. He was faithful in all his work till age and infirmities said, "Stop and rest." But retirement did not abate his love for souls, for from his own lips I know that he preached the gospel to as many as he could get to hear his message. Ready, "His body with his charge laid down," and ceased at once to work and live. H. C. NORTHCOTT.

J. H. HAYS. J. H. Hays was born in Smith County, Tennessee, July 25, 1846, and came with his parents to Muhlenburg County, Kentucky, in the year 1853. He was educated in the public schools of Kentucky. His father and mother died and left him an orphan when he was thirteen years old. He practically made his home with his uncle, Henry L. Hays, until the breaking out of the Civil War, September 15, 1861, when he joined the Eleventh Kentucky Infantry. He served in the Western Army, and engaged in several of the principal battles. He closed his military service at Vicksburg, Miss., July 4, 1863, and by reason of catarrh of the lungs was discharged from the army on September 15th of the same year. He married Miss Fannie Crail, April 2, 1866, and to this union were born eight children, three of whom are still living-Mrs. Nannie Kennedy, Muhlenburg, Ky.; Mrs. Cynthia Griffin, Birmingham, Ky.; and Miss Alice Hays, Muhlenburg, Ky. His first wife died August 1, 1883, and on December 6, 1883, he married Miss Nettie James. To this union were born eleven children, of which two are now living-Mrs. Ola Barnes and Elman Hays, of Muhlenburg, Ky. Brother Hays professed religion October 10, 1872. He joined the Meth­ odist Episcopal Church in 1872, and served as steward, class leader, ex­ horter, and local preacher. In the year 1889 he joined the Kentucky Con­ ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and served the following charges: Birmingham, Scottsville, Dexterville, Marion, Owensboro, Arlington, Dawson Springs, Blackford, Hopkinsville, and Sample. He superannuated several years ago, and moved to Central City, where he resided unt~l the end came. He had a delicate operation performed last J un.e, fro~ whl~h he never fu,lly recovered. After eleven months of suffering, dunng whlch tlme he was falthfully and devotedly attended by Sister Hays and his family and friends, he fell into the eternal sleep on May 13th, at about 7 o'clock, being sixty-seven years, nine months, and eighteen days old.

ROBERT TALBOTT MILLER, LL. D. We are come to that hour in our Conference toward which we have looked .with s~rrow and with a desire that it might be long deferred-to the memonal serVIce of Mr. Robert T. Miller. . H~ was ~orn at Neville, Ohio, May 4, 1834, lived an honorable and up­ n.ght hfe .of eIght):' years amid a wide and distinguished circle of friends, and dIed at hIs home 1n Avondale, April 23, 1914. As a Methodist laym~n he held a place that was uniquely his own. So large and so useful a place 1n th.e work of yvorld· Methodism it was the privilege of but very few to have as dId Mr. MIller. No Annual Conference in all ~et~odism has surpassed th~ Kentucky Conference in its gift of an eccle­ sIastical statesman to a place 1n the councils and boards of the Church. The laymen <;>f ou.r Confe.rence voted wiser than they first knew in selecting five consecutive times thIs great layman to represent them in the General Con­ ference. Few men have filled so large a place in the Church, and none filled it better. His knowledge of Methodist history and familiarity with the inner workings of the denomination fitted him for that high place as an eminent and conspicuous layman of our world-wide Methodist Episcopal Church. He was given a place on various boards of the Church, in each of which he was expett in service. but his most distinguished labors were in connection with the Book Committee, of which he was a member for many years, and was Honorary Chairman of the Committee at his death. Mr. Miller was prophetic in his study of the work of the Church. He took always an apocalyptic view of things, seeing them not only as they are, but as they should and ultimately must be. The Church did not always travel as swiftly as did his vision. For twenty years he saw the necessity for and worked upon the plan that finally unified the Eastern and Western houses of the Methodist Book Concern, which plan was consummated a few months before his passing out. Another look into the future needs of the Church revealed to this prophet's eye the necessity for a "Supreme Court" of Methodism that should be final in its decisions upon Church law. The last General Conference had not advanced enough to adopt that new order of things, but perhaps the Church will soon reach that place which Mr. Miller saw for a dozen years. A matter that lay near his heart was the moyement in the great bodies of American Methodism towaid a closer federation and Final Organic Union and the restoration of that historic Methodism that existed in the United Sta~es for sixty years following the famous" Christmas Conference." As a member of the "Commission on Federation," to this important matter he gave some of his closest study, best service, and earnest pra);'er., To all local Cincinnati Methodist enterprises he held a most essen­ tial re1ation. Mr. Miller was a Methodist arch

MRS. NANCY JANE CHILDERS. This solemn service in which we are now engaged is a memorial service. We intentionally endeavor to call up the forms and features, the words and deeds of some of those who have passeo into the silence of the grave. Here the dead in Christ are remembered by us, but not manv of them, but onlv a few of those who were our fellow-servants and helpers'in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. Of these I am to speak to you of Mrs. Nancy Jane Childers, the beloved wife of the Rev. Wm. H. Childers, an honored and veteran member of this Conference. The maiden name of Mrs. Childers was Nancy Jane Howes. The Howes family is a Kentucky family, well known in all our State, and not unknown in regions beyond. Mrs. Childers had two brothers, who commenced their ministry in this Conference, but were later transferred to another, and she has still kinfolks who labor with us in word and doctrine. Methodist Episcopal Church 225

Nancy Jape Howes was born Au~ust 10, 1843, and died July 22, 1914. She was marne1 to ~ev. Wm. H. Chllders, July 25, 1861. Twelve children were born to thIs umon, of whom eight are still living. It is as a mother in Israel that her many virtu~s shine with such luster that elsewhere they are only equ,aled. by her devotlOn to the work of our itinerant ministry. As a preacher s WIfe she was deeply interested in preacher's work for that work was her husband's.work a~d the work.of God. In this the K~ntucky Confer­ ence owes her lastmg gratItude and hIgh honor. I speak these words as the sentiments of our bereaved brother and of all the Conference. But there are so~e ,,:ords not l~ss to ~er praise which, though the thoughts of the writer of thIS bnef memonam, WIll, I trust, be gratefully acknowledged by the whole Church.. Alfred Tennyson, poet laureate of England, in dedicating a book of poems to good Queen Victoria, thus in part pronounced her eulogy: "Revered, beloved-O you that hold A nobler office upon earth Than arms or power or brains or birth, Could give the warrior kings of old. May you rule us long. And leave us rulers of your blood As noble till the latest day: May children of our children say • She wrought the people lasting good. Her court was pure, her life serene; God gave her peace, her land reposed; A thousand claims to reverence closed In her as Mother, \iVife, and Queen.'"

A wife is the queen of a household; a mother is the ruler of an empire. These are no blatant words, but words, as I humbly judge, fitly spoken. As a mother, Mrs. Childers was a queen. She ruled the empire of her ex­ cellent family, and ruled it well, for her children grew up to be worthy mem­ beis of the State and of the Church. I do not wish to rob our lately bereaved Brother of any honor that is his due, but he is with us, and it may fall to another pen than mine to set forth his share in the family honor; my part is to remember the one who is absent. Think of the davs and weeks she was alone with her children. Her husband traveled large ci~cuits, and for a term a district that was like a diocese. Then a mother's voice had to awaken the sleepers, and at night, when even the plowman "homeward plods his weary way," the itinerant is among strangers and the faithful mother is the keeper of the house. To some women such a life would be intolerable; but to the true wife of an itinerant preacher it is a yocation almost divine. Such a wife would scorn pity, and probably is all unmindful that she is a heroine. Mrs. ChildeIs, a life-long member of the Church, was such a wife and mother. THos. HANFORD.

MRS. D. H. COOPER. Lydia E. Sammon, youngest daughter 7of John G. and Mollie Sammon, was born near Louisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky, June 1, 1888. She was converted to God and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church at Gallup, Kentucky, on the 20th day of March, 1907. On May 2, 1907, she was united in marriage with the Rev. D. H. Cooper, of the Kentucky Conference. After a comparatively brief illness, she quietly fell asleep in the Savior's ar.ms April 4, 1914. Mrs. Cooper was a most sincere fol~o~er of Jes~s C: hnst, joining heartily with her husband in the work of the mmistry, consclentlOusly seeking to know the will of God with regard to her home and place of work, then earnestly and uncomplainingly doing her work in the appointed place. 226 Kentucky Conference [I9I4

Quiet and gentle, but strong and true, her faith never wavered; cheerful and trustful through all the days of illness, falling asleep at last unafraid: so lives and so dies a Christian. "This is the death of death, to breathe away a breath, And know the end of strife, and taste the deathless life, And joy without a fear, a smile without a tear, And work, nor care, nor rest, and find the last the best." F. W. HARROP.

MISS MARGARET GRAGG. Mrs. Margaret Gragg, who passed to her reward June 25, 1914, was the wife of Rev. James A. Gragg, who was a member of the Kentucky Con­ ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They were married September 27, 1855, and for thirty years she worked side by side with him in his pastoral work. Her husband preceded her to his heavenly rest in 1904. She still remained in the old home place east of Somerset, Kentucky, with her son, William. She was the mother of nine children, eight of whom are left to mourn the loss of a sainted mother. In early life she sought the Lord and found Him as her personal Savior, and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she lived a life that proved to those who knew her that she had made no mistake in committing herself to the Lord. As a wife of a minister, she was thoughtful, gentle, kind, and was ready to give aid when needed and sympathy in time of trouble. She was a devoted mother; she loved with a love that drew the children about her knee in prayer to Him whose love constraineth us. Her highest ambition was to see the children Christians; to know that their names were written in the Lamb's Book of Life was the accomplishment of her life-work. She was permitted in the last year to visit all her children. Leaving Somerset, she visited her daughter, Mrs. Dora Albertson, of Arkansas; and from there to New Mexico to see Elbert and O. O. Gragg; and then to Iowa, where her son, James, lived; and on her arrival home visited Mrs. Ida Gragg; and then to her home with her son, Will. She rested, and at the time of her death had gone to visit her daughter, Mrs. Flora Love, when very suddenly she was called into the presence of her Lord. Thus she was able in the past year to say good-bye to each of her children and admonish them to be faithful to Him who had loved them and bought them by His own blood. Her funeral services were held on Saturday afternoon, June 27, 1914, at the residence of her son, Lovall Gragg, being conducted by the Rev. A. H. Davis, after which she was laid beside her husband in the Somerset Cemetery, there to await the coming of the Lord in the sky. O! who can tell the rapture Of those to whom it's given Thus to renew the hands of earth Amid the lilies of Heaven.

MARY ELIZABETH MARTINDALE. Mary Elizabeth, daughter of Luther and Mary Broadwell, was bOlll in Columbia, Ohio, September 27, 1847. She was converted and united with the Methodist Episcopal Church of Oberlin, Ohio, in 1874. She was united in marriage to the Rev. H. C. Martindale, August 25, 1875. Two children blessed this happy union, Mrs. Edith M. Hathaway and Earl H. Martindale, both of Cleveland, Ohio. She was one of a family of thirteen children, ten of whom survive her. Full of faith and buoyant with hope, she went with her husband and began the work of the itinerancy on the Sand Ridge Circuit Methodist Episcopal Church 227 in the old North Ohio Conference in the fall of 1876, and for thirty-six and a half years they loved and labored together until the end. Late in June, 1913, at the request of Bishop William F. Anderson, she went with her husband to Pineville, Ky., to try and save our church there from threatened loss through debt. At Pineville, as at all other places where she had lived, she endeared herself to the hearts of all who knew her. After being there for five and one­ half months she was taken with typhoid fever. She lingered for fifty-four days, and on February 2, 1914, she became a member of the Church Tri­ umphant which is without fault before the throne of God. Funeral services were conducted from Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Cleveland, Ohio, after which the body was taken to beautiful Brook­ lyn Heights Cemetery, where, beneath a wilderness of flowers, it was laid to rest on the southern slope, looking toward the South and the church at Pineville which she had helped to save. A mother loving and tender, she taught her children that the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. A wife, devoted, faithful, watchful as the stars, she honored and exalted the Christian home. A servant of Christ, she incarnated the spirit of the Master and gave herself in loving devotion and service to the salvation of the lost. Living, she gave a refining beauty to life, and dying added a new splendor to death. J. M. MELEAR. iaoll of (@ur 1!f ouOrtll ituil.

"Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea. saith the Spirit. that they may rest from their labors; and their works do follow them."-Rev. xiv, 13. The first Conference in Kentucky was held in 1790; but the work in Kentucky was not set apart as the Kentucky Conference till I82I. Meanwhile, death was claiming its own among the preachers. Henry Birchett died in 1794; Francis Acuff, in 1795; Lewis Hunt, :n 1801; Learner Blackman, in 1815. The roll since that time is, approximately, as foHows:

Musical Authorities of the two continents have the high~ est regard for the Baldwin Piano. The Baldwin }Vas awarded the Grand Prix at Paris, 1900, a distinction emphasized by the Baldwin's appearance in concert with the most eminent pianists and singers-DePachmann, Pugno, Sembrich, and Bachaus. At St. Louis, 1904, the Baldwin was again awarded the Grand Prize. . Additional factories were erected, in each of wh;ch a dif~ ferent piano is made-which at the price sold is the stand­ ard of its class. The greatest degree of efficiency is thus obtained and yet the benefits accruing from a large volume of business are secured. The pianos made by our house, besides the Baldwin are The .. Ellington," the" Hamilton," the" Valley Gem," and the .. Howard. " We manufacture also the Baldwin, Elling­ ton, Hamilton, and Howard Manualo. These player-pianos are the best on the market. With this wide range in Production, it will be seen that any demand for pianos or player~pianos can be supplied and supplied in such a way that the purchaser profits by the economies of production on a large scale. And the buyer is assured of finding what he needs and at a satisfactory price.. The house of Baldwin makes all the essential parts of its pianos, and knows to a certainty that the qualities of artistic durability are there.
