The price of the A N N U A L continues at 40 cents per copy, which barely meets the cost of publication. Indeed, the whole edition must be sold to pay the printer, the engraver and the Post Office. The bad habit of returning unsold copies in the fall should be checked, if the Conference Boards are not to supplement the publishing fund. Each preacher is to sell the copies sent him. and remit to the Chattanooga Savings Bank— not to the Secretary. I f the preachers put a tithe of the toil in selling that the Secretary puts in publishing, not a copy will be returned.

CONFERENCE REPORTS

B O A R D OF MISSIONS. R E P O R T N O . I .

T h e General Conference has declared that " d u r i n g the months o f January and February a special missionary cult ivation c a m p a i ^ shall be conducted throughout the whole Church in every congregation, dur ing which each member o f the Church shall be given an opportunity to make a f r e e - w i l l o f fe r ing f o r maintaining the General W o r k o f the Board, which f r e e - w i l l o f fe r ing shaS be over and above the missionary assessments f o r the year and shall not include the income f r o m Sunday Schools and Epwor th Leagues; provided that a l l monies so raised shall be directed to the Board o f Missions, Section o f General W o r k . The Missionary Committee shall conduct an every-member canvass in every congregation to secure a f r e e - w i l l of fer ing f o r missions. The goal, in this special appeal, shall be to secure at least one m i l l i o n dollars over and above the income f r o m assessments, Sunday Schools and Epwor th Leagues, f o r maintenance each year during the quadrennium."

Since this is the l aw o f our Church the utmost co-operation becomes a sacred duty, but we do not regard our work o f extending the Kingdom o f God entirely in this l ight . I t is also a high privilege and a great opportunity in which we greatly rejoice. The w o r l d calls f o r Christ as never before. The w o r l d needs Christ as never before. In no moment o f history has more cr i t ical consequences hinged upon our g iv ing Christ to the nations. I n every land on earth the leaven o f Bolshevistic atheism is w o r k i n g ; and is being asadu-ously propagated by p o w e r f u l proponents. The issue is not now between our rel igion and heathen religions—higher and lower f a i t h — i t is between Christ and Anti-Chris t , between God and an absolute atheism, w i t h a l l that atheism means to the w o r l d and the fu ture . No discriminating Christian can look over the w o r l d today wi thout being stirred by the call which this dread situation brings to h im. T o fa l ter now would not only be disloyalty—not only sin—but i t would mean certain disaster to the whole structure o f society.

Therefore, in the l ight o f General Conference action, and in view o f the w o r l d situation and the weighty obligation they impose, be i t

Resolved, Tha t this Annua l Conference does now pledge its hearty, energetic support to the plan outlined by the General Conference, and that we heartily enter into every feature o f the campaign o f missionary cult ivation dur ing the months o f January and February. Be i t f u r the r

Resolved, Tha t we accept, and agree to raise by means o f an every-membcr canvass f o r a f r e e - w i l l of fer ing at least $50,000 as our reasonable share o f the mi l l i on dollars asked by the General Conference f o r missions this year. Be i t f u r the r

Resolved, Tha t , i n order to carry out these plans in a t imely, vigorous and effective way, that we hold our Mid-Year meeting o f the Board o f Missions and presiding elders on December 27-28, 1926. Tha t in the first ha l f o f the month o f January, 1927 we hold Missionary Institutes i n , and f o r , each pre-

sidings elder's district, the exact dates o f which are to be fixed dur ing the session o f this Conference and later submitted as a part o f this paper, that we call upon a l l our preachers, pastors and presiding elders, and our people to observe either the first or second week in January as a week o f prayer and mission study.

Comply ing w i t h the provisions o f Art ic le X V I I o f Chapter X V o f the '\ Discipline, and realizing that the year's task ahead o f us demands attention by

i a man o f devotion to his church, a man of energy and determination, a man o f \ consecration to the Lord's work , a man o f prayer, we nominate such a man in I the person o f J . A . Baylor, and recommend that the President o f the Confer-3 ence appoint h i m as Conference Missionary Secretary, knowing that Bro ,

I Baylor w i l l devote to the office such f a i r division o f his time as other duties ' w i l l permit.

J. M . C A R T E R , President, W . P. E A S T W O O D , Secretary.


T h e Missionary enterprise o f Methodism is not dead—It is not defeated. A year ago we faced a crisis. The church, under the leadership o f our General Board, inet the crisis and averted the impending disaster in obtaining funds to carry on our program. We sound no note o f pessimism, but we face the fu ture w i t h new courage and renewed zeal. The fields are as i nv i t i ng as

48 HOLSTON ANNUAL

ever. Under the unfur led banner o f our L o r d Jesus Christ we shall go on, preaching the gospel to every nation.

T o the end that we may go f o r w a r d , i t is necessary that our people shall be in fo rmed as to the needs o f the day and the plans o f the church. W e plead the importance, the necessity o f the Missionary Institute, There the seed is sown, there inspiration received and in format ion imparted. We urge our presiding elders to make o f these institutes the educational and inspirational meetings f o r which they were designed.

We recommend that in every Church and Charge, League and Society, where i t is possible, a school o f missions be held, and that the membership o f the church at large be given the opportunity to apprise itself o f the aspirations o f the church. The school o f missions may be, w i t h great advantage, combined w i t h the week o f prayer in the first or second week in January.

T h e missionary zeal and activity o f our Sunday Schools are to be commended. They have wrought migh t i l y in Europe. We urge each Sunday School to observe one Sunday in each month as a special missionary day, using appropriate program and taking an offer ing f o r missions.

T h e enthusiasm and courage o f our E p w o r t h Leagues i n assuming responsibil i ty f o r our work in A f r i c a arrest the attention o f the church and challenge the fathers in Israel to greater efforts. We crave f o r our Leagues the fu l les t support f r o m the church and pray f o r continued success in their work .

The Methodist Centenary w i l l soon come to an end. I t is g r a t i f y i n g to your Board to report the collection o f more than $23,000 on Centenary sub-scriptionsj and we are o f the opinion that by a bit o f judicious w o r k on the part o f presiding elders and pastors many thousands o f dollars o f unpaid subscriptions may yet be redeemed.

The work o f the Pastors School at Emory and Henry is no longer an experiment. Its success justifies its existence; the good accomplished demands its continuation. We recommend its patronage to undergraduates, graduates and laymen who desire a better equipment f o r their w o r k in the church.

The Methodist revival is s t i l l a mighty power in the salvation o f the wor ld . Wc rejoice at the goodly number o f gracious meetings held by our Conference missionaries. Methodism shall cease to be Methodism when she removes the o ld landmark o f the revival w i t h its old-time mourner's bench. We recommend f o r appointment as Conference Evangelists R, T . Houts and Y . W . Brooks; as General Evangelist, J, C. Patty, and urge their employment wherever needed.

Your Board desires to express its appreciation f o r the hearty response to the Special call f o r Missionary Maintenance, and the Board dares to believe that this response shall g row as the years go by.

The number o f Missionary Specials assumed by our churches is t r u l y gra t i f y i n g . We urge that wherever i t is possible, and in proportion to their abi l i ty , these specials be continued.

We rejoice that by General Conference enactment the Board o f Missions and the Board o f Lay Activities are brought into closer relationship. We wel come the laymen to a share i n responsibility in our missionary enterprise. We respectfully request the sympathetic co-operation o f the laymen in carrying out our missionary program and policy.

T h e Mid-Year meeting o f the Presiding Elders and Board o f Missions w i l l be held in Greeneville, Tcnn . , December 28-29.

The f o l l o w i n g charges are placed on our R o l l o f Honor as having become

C O M M I S S I O N O N B E N E V O L E N C E S We, your Commission, composed o f the Presidents o f the various Confer

ence Boards, appointed as auxi l iary to the General Commission on Benevolences to co-operate wi th the General and Conference Boards o f Lay Activities in the promotion o f Christian Stewardship and the f u l l payment o f the assessments f o r a l l the benevolent claims, beg leave to report as f o l l o w s :

1. We rejoice in the opportunity' afforded in this Commission f o r closer fe l lowship and more intimate and sympathetic relations among the different Conference Boards. T h e w o r k o f the kingdom Is one work , and the purpose of a l l the interests represented by a l l our Boards Is one and the same, namely, the extension o f Christ's kingdom on earth.

2. We recognize the wisdom and timeliness o f the action o f the General Conference in prov id ing f o r the correlation o f a l l the educational and administrative agencies o f the Church In a great program o f stewardship cult ivation, as outlined in Par. 561. We believe that we have no more fundamental need in our Church today than the t ra in ing o f our people in the principles and practice o f Christian Stewardship. Our hope o f stemming the tide o f materialism that is threatening our civi l izat ion, o f safeguarding our membership against the deadly curse o f covetousness, and o f financing our regular w o r k and succeeding in a l l our f o r w a r d movements in behalf o f our special interests lies In such t ra in ing. We j o i n heartily w i t h the Board o f Lay Activities in Ufg ing that a Christian Stewardship Committee be organized and an earnest, persistent e f for t be put f o r t h to educate our people in Christian Stewardship In a l l our churches,

3. We deplore the great loss to our General and Conference Boards and the w o r k o f the k ingdom the past quadrennium through the l o w percentage o f payment on the benevolent assessments. Whi le we note w i t h pleasure that the record o f our o w n Conference In this regard Is considerably above the average, yet we would not \x satisfied w i t h less than 100 per cent, payment o f these sacred claims. The most imperative financial matter before a Church Is that we br ing up this base line o f our work. We would urge that the Holston Conference set a wor thy standard f o r the entire connection the first year o f the new quadrennium by paying the benevolences in f u l l . T o this end we recommend that the every-member canvass to provide f o r these interests be made in every charge as early in the Conference year as possible. We would call attention to the fact that M a y 1st has been fixed by the General Commission on Benevolences as the date f o r a Church-wide check-up, at which time every-Church, Charge, District , and Conference shall report the results o f the canvass. On behalf o f our respective Boards we pledge to the Board o f Lay Activities and our Presiding Elders our hearty co-operation in the program to educate our people on the benevolences and secure 100 per cent, on the assessments f o r these interests.

D r . F . W . Brandon, Associate Secretary, was before our Board and to ld o f the increasing interest through the church in the cause o f the ministry o f healing. Special attention was called to the provisions o f the new Discipline regarding Golden Cross Societies and enrollment. I t is urged that a l l famil iar ize themselves w i t h Section 2, Chapter X V H I , which covers this phase o f the hospi ta l program, and obser\'c the second and t h i r d Sundays in M a y as Golden Cross Sundays.

We express our appreciation o f the inspiring address delivered by D r . Brandon before the Conference.

We recommend J . S. Bondurant as Conference Golden Cross Director.

Your Board respectfully recommends the f o l l o w i n g action regarding the Southern MetHodist Hospital and Sanatorium, located at Tucson, Ar izona :

W H E R E A S , the General Conference in session at Memphis, Tenn. , May , 1926, appointed a Commission to consider the advisability o f acquiring f o r the Church the Tucson General Hospital ; and

The Christian Education Movement, whi le not reaching the proportions we had hoped i t might attain, has nevertheless been o f almost incalculable benefit to us o f the Holston Conference, g iv ing not only a large amount o f much needed money to our schools, but greatly emphasizing the importance o f Christian Education and adding much impetus to our efforts in its behalf.

We had a quota o f $1,705,000.00, Our subscriptions amounted to $864,-368,00, O f this amount $389,161.54 has been paid, leaving a balance o f $475,206.46. We realize that we cannot hope to secure this entire balance.

58 HOLSTON ANNUAL

Some of the subscribers have died, some have moved and been lost sight of, some have suffered financial reverses, and a few have lost the enthusiasm which was theirs when the subscription was made and now repudiate it. But a very large amount can still be secured, provided the right atmosphere is created and the proper effort put forth.

T h e last General Conference gave the Church until December 31, 1927, to close up the movement. In consultation with the presiding elders of Holston it was unanimously decided that we set aside the coming month of November in which to complete our efforts for collections, and that each preacher and layman be asked to pledge his utmost endeavors to assist in carrying out this undertaking according to whatever plan his presiding elder may select.

With this in view, we therefore offer the following resolutions, in order that the effort may become officially that of the Conference:

(1) That the month of November, 1926, be set aside as the one in which we will endeavor to close up al l accounts of the Christian Education movement.

( 2 ) That in this endeavor we pledge our heartiest support to whatever plan may be selected by the presiding elder of the district of which we may be a member.

B R E T H R E N : Your Commission on Budget began eight years ago without precedent or data, and hence have been greatly handicapped through these years in putting into operation a consistent and equitable policy of distributing assessments.

We finally worked out a few years ago what seemed to us to be a just, equitable and intelligent policy, as follows: First, we classified the districts with reference to membership, and then with reference to salaries, and from thf combined dccirtinl oKtamed from these we derived the normal ratio of distribution—which is the basis of distribution of assessments to the Annual Conferences from the General Conference—and undertook to distribute the assessments of our Conference upon this basis.

However, inasmuch as this method, when applied, made such radical differences in the amounts allotted to the districts, we thought best not to apply it all in one year, but to make a gradual approach to the impartial application of it over a term of several years. Hence we have not been able to make an equitable and fair distribution in the past.

Inasmuch as this is the beginning of a new quadrennium we are laying before you for the first time an equal distribution, except as hereinafter noted, and have made thorough and detailed studies and have found facts to support this distribution. The only departure we have made in this report is that in the caw of the Bluefield District we have allowed an arbitrary reduction of $2,092.00 below the figure given by the decimal basis of calculation referred to above, and in the case of the Big Stone Gap District we have allowed a reduction below its classification of $573.00. These exceptions, it will be readily seen, were allowed because of the large mining sections of these districts.

We present here a clear statement of our methods: 1. We found the ratio as stated above—that given by salaries and mem

bership, and distributed the total amount assessed to the Conference to the districts according to this basis:

2, We classified the districts under four groupings: "Class A"—those having 50 per centum or more of their membership in city areas, to-wit: Knoxville District and the Chattanooga-District, and gave these districts a differential increase of 12 per cent, above normal; "Class B"—those having approximately 30 per cent, of the membership in important town churches— Morristown, Abingdon and Bluefield—and have given these a similar increase of 3 per cent, above normal; "Class C " — r u r a l districts, to-wit: Cleveland, Radford, Wytheville and Tazewell. These districts carry a normal assessment. "Class D"—those districts relatively handicapped on account of large mining areas where salaries do not represent a Methodist constituency in many instances—to-wit, Bluefield and Big Stone Gap Districts—and have given these a differential reduction of 10 per cent, below normal.

This distribution represents much impartial labor through several years, and sincere effort to be just and straightforward in our recommendations.

The assessment for General work is $79,279.00, and we make the following recommendation for the causes included in Conference work:

60 HOLSTON ANNUAL

Conference Claimants $24,000.00 Conference Education 20,000.00 Conference Missions 18,000.00 Church Extension : 6,700.00 Sunday Schools 4,000.00 Epworth Leagues 2,500,00 Conference Expense 2,000.00 Bishop Hoss Memorial 1,000,00 Pruden Estate 800.00 Methodist Advocate 2,000.00 Lay Activities 2,000.00 Holston Orphanage 1,500,00

Tota l $84,500.00

Tlie combined total, $163,779.00, we have distributed to the districts as follows:

R E P O R T N O . 1,

We are glad to report that real progress has been made during the year in the organization of Wesley Brotherhoods and Stewardship Committees in the local churches. We deeply appreciate the growing interest on the part of our presiding elders and pastors in the enlarged and developing programs of lay activities.

We note that under the new Constitution adopted by the General Conference at Memphis in May the Conference Board of Lay Activities has three definite and well-defined duties—the promotion of Christian stewardship, the Wesley Brotherhood, and ful l payment of the Benevolences.

( l ) C H R I S T I A N S T E W A R D S H I P ,

We recognize that leadership in this important field entails upon us a most solemn and serious responsibility. We must, first of all , be Christian stewards ourselves. The Conference, District, Associate District, Charge and Church leaders should set a worthy example in this regard. Then we must be organ-

I HOLSTON ANNUAL 61

izers and propagandists. We must "study to show ourselves approved unto God, workmen that need not to be ashamed." We realize that as go the leaders and officials o f our Methodism, so w i l l our Methodism go. Our pr imary and immediate stewardship objectives, therefore, are the organization o f the Chris-tion Stewardship Committee in each local Church and the t ra in ing o f this Committee and the other church officials in stewardship principles and practices. As members o f the Conference Board we would dedicate ourselves to this holy task and urge a l l charges and church leaders to j o i n hean and hand w i t h their presiding elders and pastors in the f u l f i l l m e n t o f these objectives, and thus lay broad and deep the foundation f o r a great stewardship Church.

( 2 ) T H E W E S L E V B R O T H E R H O O D .

Under the recent legislation the Wesley Brotherhood is the duly authorized organization o f the men o f our Church f o r the promotion o f " fe l lowship , personal evangelism and a l l phases o f men's w o r k . " T h e g rowth o f this organization o f the past eighteen months indicates that i t has passed the experimental stage. We are f u l l y persuaded that the Brotherhood Movement is a coming and providential movement in Christendom, and that in the Wesley Brotherhood the M . E . Church, South, has an opportunity f o r marshalling men and promoting brotherhood that is second to no denomination in the wor ld . We would call upon a l l our ministers and laymen alike to give the most loyal and hearty support to the Brotherhood Movement and the organization provided by the General Conference f o r our participation in this movement, namely the Wesley Brotherhood. The month o f December has been designated by the General Board o f Lay Activities as Brotherhood month f o r the entire Church. We would respectfully request our pastors to preach at least one sermon on Brotherhood during Brotherhood month and urge Charge and Church lead(?rs to seize the opportunity afforded dur ing this month to promote the organization o f brotherhoods in their local churches,

( 3 ) T H E B E N E V O L E N C E S ,

According to the provisions o f the new legislation, the General Board o f Lay Activities is charged w i t h the promotion o f an annual evcry-member canvass throughout the Church in behalf o f a l l the benevolent claims, in which effort i t shall have the co-operation o f a l l the general agencies o f the Church, and, to quote f r o m the new Constitution, "The Conference Board, together wi th the bishop in charge, shall be responsible f o r promoting this canvass in the Annual Conference and shall have the co-operation o f the other Conference Boards." In harmony wi th these provisions your Conference Board o f Lay Activities, a f te r due consideration and conference wi th the presidents o f the other Conference Boards, make the f o l l o w i n g recommendations looking toward the f u l l payment o f a l l benevolent assessments the coming conference year:

( ! ) That as soon as convenient af ter the session o f the Annual Conference a meeting o f the bishop, presiding elders. Conference Board o f Lay Activities, the president o f the other Conference Boards participating in the benevolences, and the Chairman o f the Commis,sion on Budget, be held to make definite plans f o r promoting the f u l l payment o f the benevolent assessments.

( 2 ) T h a t the every-mcmber canvass to secure the benevolences in cash and subscription be made as early in the year as practicable, the definite date to be fixed by the leaders at the above-mentioned meeting.

Your Conference Board o f Lay Activities desires to express its genuine interest i n , and pledge its co-operation in behalf o f , the special effort to secure

6 2 HOLSTON ANNUAL

funds to meet the needs o f our expanding missionary program, the completion o f the Christian Education Movement, and the raising o f the remainder o f the Superannuate Endowment Fund.

By the action o f the General Conference The Methodist Laymen is now recognized as the official organ o f the General Board o f Lay Activities and the Wesley Brotherhood, and the Conference, Distr ict , Circuit , and Church Lay Leaders are made responsible f o r its circulation in the Conference, Distr ict , Circuit , and local Church respectively. We believe that this magazine is the strongest and most effective agency we now have in promot ing lay activities and carrying f o r w a r d the whole program of the Church, and we w i l l appreciate the influence and help o f our presiding elders and pastors in extending its circulation.

We hereby nominate D r . James N . H i l l m a n to be Conference Lay Leader, and H . C. Graybeal to be his Associate Conference Lay Leader.

W H E R E A S , i t has become evident that there are but f e w places w i t h i n the bounds o f our Conference capable o f provid ing entertainment o f the Conference i n accordance w i t h our present plans. A n d ,

W H E R E A S , i t is believed that an assessment upon each charge equal to 2 per cent, upon the salary paid its pastor would provide a sufficient amount to cover the expense required f o r the entertainment o f clerical delegates. We therefo re recommend:

Tha t a special committee be constituted to be composed o f G. L . Haxdwick, F . A . Weiss and R . N . Havens to consider the advisability and feasibi l i ty o f a different mode o f entertainment f r o m that now prevai l ing, and to report at next Annual Conference.

Jos. E . AvENT, ChairTTian. C. L . C A R L E T O N , Secretary.


W H E R E A S , your Board o f Lay Activities has arrived at the definite conclusion that the Conference ought to carry g roup- l i f e insurance f o r its m i n isters in sufficient amount to provide an amount o f not less than $ 1 , 0 0 0 upon each minister's death f o r his f a m i l y . A n d

W H E R E A S , your Board o f Lay Activities feels that this is a service that the laymen w o u l d l ike to render its ministers, and a debt which laymen would l ike to pay them. Therefore, be i t

Resolved, Tha t F. W . Johnson, Claude Boughner, F . A . Weiss, R . F, Carr and F, A . Carter be constituted a special Conference Committee to b r ing to the next Annual Conference some feasible plan f o r such group insurance f o r the ministers.

In view o f the fact that our Conference Lay Leader, against the wishes and desires o f this Board, has decided to tender his resignation as Conference Lay Leader, due to the fact that he has served the Conference the usual quadren-nium, and also due to the fact that his regular duties at the University o f Tennessee are taking so much of his time that he is unable to continue his excellent and f a i t h f u l services in this capacity in the efficient way that he has been doing:

Resolved, Tha t wc accept his resignation and that we hereby express our deepest appreciation and heartfelt thanks f o r his services as our Leader f o r these f o u r years, and that this action be made a part o f the report o f our Board to the CoofereDce.

We now have a special worker in the field, doing splendid w o r k in every way. We commend her to every pastor and League Chapter in the Conference and pray that you lend her your undivided efforts in put t ing over the work that we have at heart.

W e are glad to report that the Assembly held at Mar tha Washington C o l lege was the best in every respect that we have had in the six years o f the Assembly work.

We call attention o f the Presiding Elders to the w o r k o f Distr ic t Organizations. I f there is not a Distr ic t Organization in your District please help us to effect that k ind o f an organization as soon as possible.

W e call the attention o f each and everj- pastor in the Conference to the work o f the local chapter. Have you a League chapter in your church or churches? I f you have let us help you make i t go. I f you have not let us help you organize one.

We are glad at this time to have as our presiding Bishop, Bishop DuBose, who was one o f the founders o f the Epwor th League. We think no man has put more into the w o r k o f the League than he. We therefore feel that we arc f o l l o w i n g in the path that he opened up f o r us in the years that have gone by and we are just ly due h im at this time our sincere thanks f o r the dniely w o r k that was his when the League was in its infancy.

The Bible is the Word of God. Nothing is more clearly established in the world today, and God blesses every people and nation that reverences it. It has stood the test of the ages, and no book today has such a large circulation.

The Bible is the record of the development of the kingdom of righteousness in the world. We must earnestly, carefully and prayerfully read it to be wise. Should we find in the Old Testament legislation which seems to be defective when judged by our standards, we must not fai l to see in it the divine wisdom of the method of taking men as they are and doing for them the thing that is feasible, patiently leading them on and up to higher ground. The higher morality must be imparted little by little; one principle after another must be drilled into the apprehension. Upon the pages of this old Book we may see the record of a divinely guided development; the life it shows as unfolding divine; the goal to which people are conducted is the goal which-God has marked for human progress j and the origin and growth of the kingdom of God in the world. From the standpoint of history should anyone discern the ignorance, crudity and blindness of the leaders and teachers through

66 HOLSTON ANNUAL

whom God worked, would they not be impressed w i t h what materials and what instruments the divine wisdom and patience wrought out this great result.

The end is a test o f a progressive revelation, some one has said. The word o f God, that had been p a i n f u l l y and d imly communicated to the ancient people in laws and prophecies, in lives o f saints and prophets was made flesh and dwelt among men f u l l o f grace and t ru th , and they beheld His glory . I t is here we f i n d the real meaning o f tlie Bible. I t is here we have the Perfect Revelation. I t is because o f him that the Bible has such unparalleled influence. I t goes equally to the cottage o f the pla in man and the palace o f the k i n g . I t is woven into the literature o f the scholar, and colors the talk o f the street. I t attends men in their sickness when the fever o f the w o r l d is on them. It l i f t s man above himself. I t is the better part o f our sermons and our best prayers are in its storied speech. We rest on this our dearest hopes. I t tells us of God and o f his blessed Son, o f earthly duties and heavenly rest. Believe i t to be safe.

I t is not the part o f wisdom to use the Book rationally, but reverently, rejoicing in the Spirit which it proffers. The same divine influence which illumines and sanctifies its pages is wai t ing to enlighten our minds and prepare our hearts that we may receive its messages. Some things hard to understand are here, but the Spirit o f t ruth can make plain to us a l l that we need to know. Accept i t ; practice i t to be holy. I t w i l l reward every man according to his labor, and condemn a l l who tr i f le w i t h its sacred pages.

We, your Board, recommend the assessment f o r the American Bible Society to remain the same as last year.

We have in the Chattanooga Savings Bank & Trust Co. $200.74 to be used to buy Bibles f o r those unable to buy f o r themselves.

We are glad to report at the beginning o f the new quadrennium that the General Board o f Church Extension was never i n better condition to render aid in church and parsonage bui ld ing than at the present time. Our Conference Board was able dur ing the past year to aid in bu i ld ing and repairing twelve churches and parsonages. We regret very much the great disaster to our church property in Flor ida by the recent storm. We are in sympathy w i t h the church-wide appeal o f the General Board to secure aid to assist in the rebui ld ing and repair ing i n that field.

We have had large demands on our Conference funds f o r aid this year, the askings being $12,000, while we had less than $7,000 at our disposal.

F r o m the Conference Fund wc have made the f o l l o w i n g donations:

The statistical reports handed in this year were decidedly in better f o r m than f o r many years, w i t h an increase o f about 50 per cent, in the matter o f accuracy. Almost a l l o f the brethren were considerate enough to br ing or send their reports to the Secretary on the first day o f the Conference, and we are sure that the delinquent ones are not aware how seriously they hinder the work by what seems a t r i f l i n g difference in time. M a n y o f the reports are typewritten, which assures leg ib i l i ty and greatly expedites the work . We wish also to commend the brethren who omit a l l fractions and decimal points and

6K HOLSTON ANNUAL

who set their figures in columns o f units, tens, hundreds, etc., which greatly reduces the labor in the matter o f tabulating.

The apparently large increase in material wealth and decrease o f 48 3 in church membership are accounted f o r at least in part by the fac t that more care has been taken to present figures which w i l l square w i t h records posted "up to date."

Three accountants have been work ing an average o f thirteen hours each, daily, since the first day o f Conference, a total o f 136 hours. We wish to express to M r . A . T . H u l l , C. P. A . , Audi to r o f Emory and Henry College, and to the management o f the college, our appreciation o f his gratuitous services, also to M r . H . W . Lyle and M r . J . M . Masengi l l , o f this ci ty, f o r the use o f their adding machines; also to the brethren representing the several districts f o r their services in collecting the reports and assisting in the matter o f audit ing.

We believe the tables this year w i l l be f o u n d correct. However, there w i l l be some differences in comparing wi th last year's totals, some o f which are i n error.

Literature has its place in mould ing and shaping the destinies o f nations, buainess trusts, benevolent associations, homes, individuals, and certainly i t exerts no less influence upon the l i f e and destiny o f the Christian Church.

We urge our people to ever remember that clause in our General Rules pertaining to the reading o f good books. Not only do we emphasize the readi n g o f good books and literature, but w o u l d endorse the publication o f such pamphlets and books which may be produced among us.

We understand that D r . J. W , Perry has a manuscript on the g rowth and development o f the territory' o f Holston Conference. We sincerely hope he wil l have i t published at an early date,

W e also request Rev. J . T y l e r Frazier to prepare f o r publication the stories o f his l i f e and times. We deeply regret the decease o f D r . George R. Stuart, but are glad to know the story o f his l i f e is being writ ten by D r . W . W . Pinson, the author o f "The L i f e o f Bishop W . R. Lambuth." This insures an adequate presentation o f the l i f e and work o f that great man.

T h e Historical Society is doing a valuable w o r k in preserving the records o f the Conference. We urge hearty co-operation on the part o f every member o f the Conference.

We mean to ever keep before you the publications o f our own House. The

HOLSTON ANNUAL 69

need o f supporting i t is unquestionable. Our periodicals and publications should be read i n the home o f every Methodist f a m i l y .

We regret exceedingly the financial condition o f The Methodist Advocate, which makes i t impossible to continue the salary o f an editor. We also regret the fact that we are losing the services o f D r . G. B . Win ton , than whom there is not, in the bounds o f our Church, a more f o r c e f u l and i l lumina t ing editorial wri ter . We recommend the acceptance o f the proposition made by Rev. W . A . S w i f t as set f o r t h in report o f the Commission, The f o l l o w i n g is a copy:

*'Rev. W . A , S w i f t , having been invited, appeared before the Commission and made the f o l l o w i n g proposition, to become Edi tor and Manager o f T/te Methodist Advocate on the basis o f a contingent salary, t o - w i t : that he would become Edi tor and Manager o f the paper f o r a salary o f $3,000.00 annually, provided that amount be made clear above the cost o f publication. I f less than that sum be made, then he w i l l accept as a salary whatever amount may be made clear above the cost o f publication. On motion o f R. W . Hood, seconded by R. H . Pigue, the proposition o f Brother S w i f t is accepted, to go into efFect at the close o f the next session o f the Memphis Conference, provided the said contract shall be approved by the Holston, Tennessee, and Memphis Conferences."

I n concurrence w i t h the request o f the General Commission, we ask the Conference to continue the assessment o f $2,000.00 un t i l the indebtedness o f T/ie Methodist Advocate be liquidated in f u l l , which indebtedness is approximately $8,500.00.

Rev. P. L . Cobb, Rev. T . H , Francisco and M r . Wi ley M o r g a n have been selected as the members o f the General Commission f o r Holston Conference.

O S U N D A Y S C H O O L B O A R D .

Following the general policy for the quadrennium now ending, to reach more people and to render them a more efficient ministry when reached, your Conference Sunday School Board, facing the returns, feels moved to return thanks to the Great Head of the Church for His blessings upon the labor of their hands.

We have had a gratifying increase along all lines of the work, especially in the matter of "Leadership Training," and in the averages of attendance, which is in itself an evidence of better organization and instruction.

Four Standard Training Schools, five Cokesbury Schools, two Community Schools, the Pastors' School, and the credit work done in our Church colleges, give us, for the year, in the Standard Course six Gold Seal diplomas, fifteen Blue Seal diplomas, fifty-five diplomas, 1,726 credits, and 135 Cokesbury Credits, making a grand total of 2,0 57 awards. These figures are prophetic of a better day. In the face of the growing efiiciency of public educational agencies the school of religion in the local church cannot function as a third-rate affair and expect to command the respect of its constituency or build a robust Christian manhood and womanhood for the church of today and tomorrow. We believe that nothing else holds so much of the solution of the lamentable country church problem as the Cokesbury training course, and we urge our presiding elders and pastors to promote this course in all our country churches.

I f ever the church is to be made truly missionary it must be by the processes of missionary education. The Sunday School is the one educational agency of the church which reaches practically all the church members in the process of their development. Your Board would, therefore, call attention to the abundant and superb missionary lessons material in our regular Sunday School literature. In the graded series 25% of the lessons are distinctly missionary, with 10% more suggesting the missionary interpretation. During the quadrennium 27% of uniform series were directly missionary, or strongly carried the missionary implication. Besides the missionary lesson material our Sunday School periodicals carry excellent articles, reports and human-interest stories from our European mission fields, the present missionary special of the Sunday School. Great educational and spiritual values are also to be found in the worship programs provided for the fourth Sunday missionary service. The Sunday School has at hand the educational materials for making the church truly missionary, i f it so desires.

We urge the observance of Children's Week with parents meeting as an effective means of bringing about a better understanding and co-operation between the home and the church school. T h i s year the elementary teachers of twenty-four schools reported visits to 1,043 homes of their pupils.

The work of our Elementary Department is getting well started under the superintendence of Mrs. J , H , Parham, Her report shows thirty-eight ranking departments, of which twenty-nine are progressive, eight advanced, and one standard.

We urge al l schools to organize and work according to the program of work, adapted to the building in which they work. The blue-print of the architect is essential to a well-ordered building.

HOLSTON ANNUAL . 75

We re-endorse the Pastors' School at Emory and Henry College, appropriate $500.00 towards its expense, and nominate Rev, S. S. Boyer and D r . P, R. Knickerbocker as members o f the Board o f Managers.

We call special attention o f a l l pastors and Sunday School superintendents to paragraph 386 o f the Discipline regarding Missionary Day and the missionary of fer ing .

We appeal f o r observance o f Sunday School Day, w i t h program rendered, o f fe r ing taken and remitted to the Chattanooga Savings Bank and Trus t Co. as Sunday School Day offer ing. We make this appeal f o r three reasons:

Fi rs t—The Discipline, the l aw o f the church makes i t mandatory.

Second—The educational value o f the day and its program. T h i r d — T h e Commission on Budget having reduced the amount asked f o r

the support o f Sunday School work in the Conference $500.00 below that o f the past f o u r years (the only Board to be reduced, and, unless a l l benevolences are collected in f u l l , w i l l be reduced far ther by the increase o f other askings). I n fac ing the facts herein stated we appeal to presiding elders, pastors and superintendents that i f there is not a large increase in the income o f the Board f r o m Sunday School Day offerings, that your Board w i l l be forced to wi thdraw f r o m support o f the Pastors School, curtai l its program i n leadership t ra ining, and reduce its whole program o f ministry. Brethren, take due notice o f these facts.

We unanimously approve the w o r k o f Rev. S. S. Boyer, our Conference Superintendent, and ask f o r his reappointment to this w ork .

We appreciate the work o f Mrs . L . H . Potts, Superintendent o f Missionary Education, and M r . B . Hampton Gray, Superintendent o f A d u l t Bible Class W o r k , w i t h a l l other volunteer workers in the Distr ict organization.

Each year i t becomes more evident that something should be done toward co-ordinating the w o r k o f a l l the educational agencies in the local church, to the end that overlapping may be eliminated and general efficiency increased. We recommend to our strong churches the employment o f f u l l - t i m e directors o f religious education, and to churches not able to employ f u l l - t i m e directors, where capable persons can be secured, the use o f voluntar j - workers; and where this is not possible that the leaders o f the different departments o f the church shall, in council, work out a unified program f o r religious education.

We believe that one hour once a week is too short a time to enable the church through the Sunday School to give adequate religious education to its children and youth. We recommend that where daily vacation Bible schools, and kindred week-day movements can be handled, and properly related to the work done on Sunday, that this field be entered, and we ask that where this w o r k is enterprised that reports and exhibits be furnished the Conference Sunday School Superintendent f o r his in fo rmat ion i n fu tu re promotion o f this work .

Believing that the best solution o f the problems arising f r o m the languishing country church, the unoccupied terr i tory w i t h i n the bounds o f the Conference, and the rapidly increasing industrial community is to be found in the dual-extension program, j o i n t l y promoted by the Sunday School and the Home Mission Boards, we have committed ourselves to those Boards to enter upon this work at the next session o f the Conference, Believing that a thoroughgoing survey o f the field should be made before we enterprise the work , we are pleased that the Conference has committed itself to such a survey, and we

76 HOLSTON ANNUAL

pledge our ful les t co-operation in that work . We offer to those who may have charge o f directing this survey the use o f an office, office equipment and stenographic service.

The address o f Bishop DuBose f o l l o w s :

" I t takes a thousand years to make a man; a thousand years o f human passion, human intellection and human activity. The tides o f l i f e , thus i m pelled, break, at last, in potential being and leave a man o f mastery at the feet o f the generations. When on A p r i l 13, 184-9, E l i j a h Embree Hoss was born in the Appalachian highlands o f Tennessee, a cycle o f labor ing time delivered its of fspr ing to become a servant o f men. Heredity, endowment and occasion made visit to his cradle and l e f t the tokens o f their f avor forever on his fame and destiny. He was born to the ends and uses o f true greatness, and that greatness made early and abundant place f o r his powers. Into that place he entered as naturally as he had passed f r o m infancy into youthhood and f r o m youthhood into manhood. His fiber answered to an olden wor th , and yet quickened into the vitalities o f a challenging present. The great man is always the catholic man, the horizon o f whose vision is coincident wi th the reaches o f t ru th and l i v i n g thought. Bishop Hoss was a man o f the ages; a product o f the larger l i f e and mind o f the wor ld . I t was this that set h i m i n attitudes o f solitariness before his fe l lows, and that differentiates his powers f r o m the commonplace o f convention. From his shoulders to his head, upward, he became incomparable in stature and strength.

"The mental powers o f Bishop Hoss would be accounted extraordinary in any age or record o f history. Hellenic in its fine enclosing mould, Roman in its logical sturdiness, Bactrian in its wisdom, and Hebrew in its reverence, his mind partook o f the qualities o f completeness and finality. The or ig ina l i ty o f his thought %vas pronounced; his speech was lucidly clear, and his words were always unmistakable as to their meaning. He matched the golden soul o f t ru th w i t h l i v i n g forms, and expressed the ideals o f the l i v i n g day in terms o f classic grace. His public utterances were as t ru ly in accord w i t h his private convictions as sunlight is in agreement w i t h the l igh t o f the stars. He was also in an attitude o f constant harmony w i t h h imsel f ; and that self was no less in constant harmony w i t h the demands o f uprightness and honor.

78 HOLSTON ANNUAL

TREMENDOUS CONVICTION. "Bishop Hoss' l i f e was centered in tremendous conviction. The man o f

catholic g i f t s and powers is never found to be without a sure grounding f o r his judgment nor wi thout latitude and longitude o f sympathy. He is l ike a tree planted by the rivers o f water. His l i f e is f e d f r o m the spring o f the universal, but he is rooted and grounded in the soil o f place and fe l lowship} he is the servant o f his generation j the care-taker f o r the times and heritage o f his own. Bishop Hoss, though he manifested the larger destiny and exhibited the larger mould, was loya l ly committed to the land o f his heredity, and to the traditions o f his b i r th . This was not the contradiction, but the complement o f his larger self. This quali ty is a tradit ion o f the great; if was elemental in the character o f the Hebrew prophets, f r o m E l i j a h to John the Baptist. The universal i l luminat ion which came to their minds only emphasized their love f o r the altars and traditions o f Israel. Bishop Hoss' large thoughtedness was paralleled by the large hcartedness o f his devotion to his native soil and to the social and religious ideals o f his own people. He walked the paths o f might and the paths o f lowliness w i t h an equal tread. He was f e l l o w w i t h the great; he was brother to the humble. I n the social circle and in the privacy and sanctity o f his closest friendships, he was the unchanging master o f himself, the unaffected gentleman and Christian, and the spirit wondered at and loved. A man specially endowed o f nature and ordained o f God to greatness w i l l necessarily manifest a marked personality. Personality is but the expression o f those g i f t s o f intellect and soul w i t h which men find themselves endowed. I t is the focal o f passion, thought and self-commitment; the centr i fugal o f service, suffer ing and sacrifice. The personality o f Bishop Hoss, as defined by these terms, was outstanding, Impressive, masterly. I n the Patheon of the Immortals he is not eclipsed; in the fel lowship o f the greatest, he is s t i l l great; great in soul, great in ideal, great in words and in deed> and great in the memory o f those who knew him in the years o f his l i f e .

S P E C I A L I Z E D IN NOTHING.

Bishop Hoss was a man o f affluent variety in taste and in the occupation o f his thought. He specialized in nothing, but was genuine at home in the range o f the humanities. The rhythm of his l i f e was a symphony not an overture. He li%ed and acted in no ha l f -way manner. The ultimate o f his soul went out w i t h every committal o f his mind, and the measure o f himself was put into every protest o f his f a i t h . He believed w i t h unfeigned completeness, and made confession w i t h mouth and heart. He excelled not only in attainments in classic literature, but he displayed an astonishing f a m i l i a r i t y wi th the details o f human histor\". He had transferred the annals o f mankind to his own brain; the faces and forms o f a l l the past moved in the drama o f his thoughts. His consciousness caught the semblance o f the ultimate human emotion. He dared to think the thoughts o f the archons. He dared to walk the paths o f the unseen.

" T o his friends i t has been always a matter o f surprise that Bishop Hoss did not give time and sustained effor t to authorship on creative lines. He possessed the necessary g i f t s in an unusual degree. But he was too busily engaged in the daily acquisition and use o f knowledge to give serious effor t to authorship on his own account. Serious studenthood is of ten more needed i n the wor ld than authorship; the wise discerner o f recorded t ru th finds a more frequent task than does the man o f fancy and o f creative genius. So thought

HOLSTON ANNUAL 79

Bishop Hoss. Yet he was a master o f style and a fo rger o f phrases that held a distinctiveness and a challenge o f their own. Admit tedly he was one o f the three or f o u r great editors o f his generation. But he was essentially the man o f action and o f the spoken word , though the pen in his hand was mightier than the sword. Nature and providence had shaped h i m f o r the service o f activity in the l igh t and the open contest o f l i f e . He accepted this as a b i r thr ight .

"As easily as i n literature, Bishop Hoss could have excelled in any o f h a l f a dozen lines o f special ef for t and research; but the call o f the pulpi t and the lure o f the open f o r u m discounted the charm o f a set and restricted task. He rode no hobbies nor gave allegiance to any theory- o f party or school. His thought was as unfettered as i t was individual .

W I D E KNOWLEDGE OF T H E O L O G Y .

" I n theology i t was w i t h him as in history and l i terature; his knowledge i n this realm was catholic, incisive and discriminating. He was neither t radit ional nor radical in his methods o f interpretation. Unswervingly orthodox, yet l iberal and generous, the old questions o f theology and belief became to h im not a matter o f confessions and statements so much as a matter o f present fact and experience. When before the ecumenical bodies o f Methodism he discoursed on problems o f theology and Bibl ical criticism, his deliverances attracted wide attention and were credited w i t h large authority. I n these, as in a l l other l ike judgments, he spoke the loyal ty to t ru th and w i t h tolerance toward learning and scholarship. He was as free f r o m pragmatism as he was f r o m bigotry. His substance took both the flavor and the spirit o f the evangel,

"Bishop Hoss richly earned in his representative service o f the church the ti t le o f 'Foreign Minister o f Methodism.' T o an extent which has f a l l e n to no other man in our church, he was made the official spokesman o f the connection to the great Methodist bodies o f the wor ld . I n England, in Ireland, i n the Dominion o f Canada, in the commonwealths o f Australia, as also to sister bodies on this continent, he bore to the people called Methodists the official greetings o f our household. The record o f these services is, together w i t h his name, forever enshrined i n our g r a t e fu l memory.

IN T H E MINISTRY.

"As preacher and educator Bishop Hoss rounded out a f u l l l i f e o f activi ty and brought to each o f these offices the idea o f u n f a i l i n g service. Three-score and ten years were the measure o f his pi lgr image, and they were years o f strength and majesty to the end. His career and messages as a preacher were determined by his own religious experience. He was first o f a l l a man; and into the consciousness o f that manhood the Spiri t brought a l i f e l o n g testimony o f action and devotion. His processes were genuinely u n f a i l i n g l y spiritual, and his preaching partook o f the power o f this spir i tuali ty. His themes were Christ, His works, His power in salvation, and the l i f e o f the Spiri t which expresses the Kingdom of Christ among men. M a n y preachers o f this generation who heard his remarkable and grasping discourses on such subjects as 'What T h i n k Ye o f Christ? ' and on the 'Messianic Lordship' w i l l p ro f i t f r o m i t in their experience in preaching to the end o f their commission.

"As a preacher Bishop Hoss was not less individualistic than in other matters. I n the pulpi t he ranked w i t h the foremost men o f his agej and while he

80 HOLSTON ANNUAL

knew the literature and the science o f preaching, he fo l l owed rather the native and inspired impulses o f his own mind. Perhaps if may be said that so many sound rules o f preaching were observed by him that he was tied up to no single one. Exposition, forensic action, i l lustrat ion, l i terary and historical citations, exhortation, judgment and correction entered into his pulp i t utterances. O f t e n times these rose to heights o f eloquence and power; but whatever the altitude o f utterance there was always the ground level o f exact teaching, Scripture relationship, and the consciousness o f a personally received and a personally delivered gospel.

A T T I T U D E TOWARD B I B L E .

"The Bible to h im was real and true because i t brought God to his own l i f e , and answered every voice o f the l i v i n g present. He knew the lists o f criticism, but he had l i t t le taste f o r its niceties and less tolerance f o r its pretensions. His f a i t h was l ike his mental se l fhood; i t was his own and was confirmed to h im by the testimony o f the Spirit Divine .

"Bishop Hoss was a most assiduous and constant student o f the Scriptures. He a l l but l ived in a face-to-facc communion w i t h the W o r d o f God. The Greek New Testament was his constant companion; and he studied i t w i t h devotion and enthusiasm. Certain great and Spiri t straited words and passages o f the Greek text were treasured up in his mind and emitted l ightnings in his thoughts, as do the quickened hearts o f summer clouds.

"Almost at the beginning o f his ministry Bishop Hoss was called to the work o f Christian education. His own academic and theological t ra in ing was received in the schools o f Methodism, in the Wesleyan University at Delaware, O., and in Emory and Henry College in Vi rg in ia . That liis education was grounded i n thoroughness is testified to by the amazing exactness o f his k n o w l edge and the wealth o f his af ter attainments.

W O R K AS E D U C A T O R .

"He was licensed to preach in 1866, and in 1869 was received on t r i a l into the Holston Conference. His first appointment was Jonesboro, Tenn , I n 1870 he was appointed to Knoxvi l l e and remained in that city two years. I n 1872 he was transferred to San Francisco and served the church in that f a r Western metropolis f o r two years, becoming at the end o f that pastorate president o f the Pacific Methodist College at Santa Rosa, Ca l i f . W i t h this call his long service as a church educator began, f o r though, in 1875, he was transferred to the Holston Conference and stationed at Asheville, N . C , he was, in the next year, elected to a professorship in Mar tha Washington College, o f which institution he became president in 187y. F rom 1881 to 1883 he filled a professor's chair in Emory and Henry College, his alma mater, and also served as its vice-president. I n 188S he became a professor i n Vanderbilt University, where f o r five years he developed and exhibited an extraordinary pedagogic abi l i ty . T o the students who made up his classes he became a teacher o f both the head and the heart. He there set his seal upon the l i f e o f not a f ew men who succeeded to posts o f influence and distinction in public l i f e ,

"Reference has already been made to the distinction achieved by Bishop Hoss in the field o f editorial w r i t i n g . The church early marked h im f o r this service. A t the General Conference o f 1890 he was elected editor o f T//e Christian Advocate. I n this post he f o u n d f u l l play f o r his great powers o f

mind, f o r the display o f the treasures and graces o f his l i terary g i f t s , f o r his aptitudes i n argument, as also f o r the very fine humor that characterized his l ighter pen strokes. Editorials in T/te C/tristian Advocate du r ing the twelve years o f his editorial incumbency would make many volumes o f wholesome, instructive and elevated literature. T h e subjects o f his edi tor ia l utterances were not only those pertinent to church l i f e and administration, but were o f t en selected f r o m the currencies o f w o r l d concern and international thought.

"The church's memory o f this, its great servant, is equally happy w i t h reference to each o f the offices in which he was employed; but the recollection of his episcopal .ministries are peculiarly blessed and happy. I n the episcopal office, to which he was elected by the General Conference o f 1902, Bishop Hoss employed the fullness o f his strength in serving the church. He was tireless in travel and labors. He f a i r l y covered the terr i tory o f the connection in his preaching and speaking tours, and was known by face to a vast multitude o f our people. As an administrator, he was brotherly, considerate and open to the approach o f the humblest o f his fe l low-workers . He was loved and ido l ized by thousands, and as must have been the case w i t h one o f his strong and positive nature, he was not without the adverse judgment o f others. But none ever rose up to question the l o f t y purpose o f his soul nor the unchangeable integrity o f his wa lk , "

We are glad to note that the Church in Holston is making progress in many ways, especially in material things, the building of churches and parsonages. We regret that there have not been more conversions and additions to the church the past year. We desire that each year's work shall exceed the former year's work.

The inner spiritual state of the Church is made manifest in all of her many and varied activities; she is known by her fruits. By spiritual state we mean that the Holy Spirit should be the guide in everything the Church docsj our responsibilities as we stand related to the world within and without demands this.

We believe that our people are as loyal and faithful as they have been in former years. While this is doubtless true, some things are happening which are to be deplored, especially the indifference of members as to their attendance upon prayer meetings and preaching services. Many of our Sunday School scholars leave the church before preaching service can begin. This is having a deleterious effect on their spiritual life. Brethren, let us search diligently for a remedy for this evil.

One of the greatest and gravest problems confronting the Church is the question of worldly amusements. We condemn and protest against all worldly amusements that are proscribed by the teachings of the Bible and our Book of Discipline. We insist that our church people do not set an example before the world of their lack of fidelity to Christ by engaging in sinful and worldly amusements.

We are taught in the Sacred Book to remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy. The Sabbath is God's time, therefore a curse rests upon those who desecrate the Sabbath Day. Let us help earnestly to save to the nation and the Church the Holy Sabbath Day.

We insist that our people dedicate their children to God in infancy, and train them in "the way" from which, when they are old, they will not depart. We cannot over-stress this.

Resolved, first. That we, as pastors and laymen, strive and pray most earnestly to God that He may send a great and soul-stirring Pentecost upon the Holston Conference this year, to the end that multitudes may be saved and brought into the Kingdom of God.

It was during a visit in the home of his next to the youngest daughter, Mrs. Carrie Tipton Barns, at Mt. Jackson, in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, that Rev. Frank Alexander died, November 13, 1925, being 87 years of age. Ten years before this date and in the same month his estimable wife preceded him to her heavenly inheritance, during a visit likewise, in the home of their youngest daughter, Mrs, Mary Virginia Houts, in Erwin Tennessee. Between these daughters, in the order of their ages, is the fourth son and fifth child, Mr . Frank Alexander, J r . , a railroad official in Bluefield, W . V a . The fifth child and the third son is Mr . Will iam Franklin Alexander, a banker of Bluefield, W. Va.

Brother Alexander had his home during his last years with his widowed daughter, Mrs. Ann Elise Fugate, in Bristol, Tenn,, she being the fourth child and second daughter. The second son, John Wright Alexander, was born at Johnson City, 1867, and died at Belfast Mills, Russell County, Va. , at 23 years of age, and when he was in charge of the commissaries of the Stuart Land and Cattle Company. Mrs. Lula Elizabeth Baldwin, of Richmond, Va. , is the first daughter. She and the first of the children, Mr . Samuel Lee Alexander, a clothier of Marion, Va. , were born in Elizabethton, Tenn.—and so there were eight children, four sons and four daughters, alternating a son and a duaghter as to their ages.

In the year 1838 Frank Alexander was born on a farm purchased that year by his parents on Indian Creek, between Elizabethton and Bluff City, Tenn. He and his brother, Samuel Alexander, obtained a license to preach on the Elizabethton charge, and the young ministers went together to Fayette, Howard County, Mo. There the older brotlier, Samuel, married Miss Isabel Rucker and joined the Missouri Conference. In 1873-4 he transferred to the Holston Conference, was appointed to the Marion Circuit, and died after making one round on his charge. His widow returned to Missouri, graduated her three children at Howard-Payne College, and her youngest child. Miss Olien Alexander, finished her education at the Scarritt Bible Training School, was appointed by the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society a missionary' to Hoochow, China. She married Rev. R. A . E?tes, Afterward she died, and was buried in a beautiful cemetery in Shanghai.

Rev. Frank Alexander remained in Missouri but a short while. He returned to Elizabethton and was married to* Miss Mary Katherine Keebler, by their pastor, the Rev. G. M . Masscy, December 24, 1861. The union of these consecrated lives was blessed and marked for fifty-four years by special and beneficent providences as are above indicated.

Next to his divine call to minister to the salvation of men—their twenty-four years when he was a local preacher in Tennessee, Missouri and Virginia; their twenty-three years he served as an itinerant; the seventeen years he was a superannuate—in al l sixty-four years a preacher—was the contribution and heritage he and his wife have given to their church and country in the honorable children and reputable families they reared and left in the land.

In the year 1884 Rev. George Frazier left the Broad Ford Circuit for a home in Illinois, Presiding Elder, Rev, W. H . Price, urged Brother Alex-

ander to supply the work on that charge. Thus began Brother Alexander's itinerant career. The next year he was admitted on t r i a l w i t h Revs. W . M . Dyer, E. F. Kahle and J . A . B u r r o w ; he was assigned the next two years to the Lebanon Circuit . Thence he was one year on the Jasper, two years on the Dunlap, f o u r years each on the Pikeville, Dickinsonville, Castlewood, one year each on the Dayton, Hawkins, Mosheim, and three years on the Kingsport charges. He superannuated in 1908,

Brother Alexander was a charming preacher. His exposition and applicat ion o f Bible characters and incidents were clothed in simple and direct language, pertinent and pungent. He was o f s t r iking personality; a physique t a l l , angular, swarthy; a countenance grave and strong, which in his genial, social moods, or in the fe rvor o f his pulp i t deliverances, was winsome and irresistible. He sent the t ru th home to thousands so as to melt and mould their lives and characters.

Like the hospitable home o f his sainted parents, so his households i n M a r i o n and elsewhere had open doors o f welcome and their altars o f fervent prayer, f o r the weary itinerant. The salesmen o f his employe and the host o f personal friends, won through four-score and seven years; anyone o f whom w i l l testify to his devoutness and fidelity as a son, husband, parent, pastor, counsellor, patron and citizen.

This aged veteran and knight o f the saddle-bag suffered f r o m a f a l l and was much on crutches in his last f e w years in Bristol . T o o feeble to preach, he assisted in the administration o f the Lord's Supper and was an occasional honored assistant teacher o f the Baracca Class o f Anderson Street Church; and his pastor, Rev. J . B . E ly , states that though reminiscent o f fo rmer t r i umphs he detected a g r o w i n g tenderness o f tone in his speaking o f Heaven as o f a city where his friends were many, and his going thither not to be long awaited. A concourse o f people, w i t h his relatives, gathered about his flower-embedded casket in the Methodist sanctuary in M a r i o n Sunday evening, November 15, I92S, and as the sun went down the pastors. Rev. H . B . Brown and C. E. Painter, laid his body "earth to earth" in the Round H i l l cemetery, where father and mother, w i f e , his preacher-brother and his son, John W r i g h t Alexander, w i t h others o f his people, were entombed to await the glorious morn ing o f the never-ending day, then those shall meet again who have loved,

H a r r y But to r f f Duncan was born at Tupelo, Miss., i n the year 1899. He died at Cleveland, Tenn. , in November, 1925, being 26 years o ld . His preparatory school education was received at the school o f his uncle, the Duncan Preparatory School, located in Nashville. F rom here he went to Vanderbil t University f o r his college work. He was at Vanderbilt University f o r five years, taking many scholastic and student honors and being graduated w i t h the degrees o f Bachelor o f Arts and Master o f Arts , and leaving the University wi th the h igh regard and the great expectations o f his teachers and f e l l o w -students.

I t was while under the tutelage o f the instructors o f Vanderbil t University and under the pastoral care o f D r . George Stoves at West End Church that H a r r y Duncan answered the call to serve his L o r d through the ministry o f the

Southern Methodist Church, I n direct preparation f o r his ministry he spent two years t ravel ing in Europe and studying in the UnivcrsItieB o f Edinburgh and O x f o r d .

A f t e r his return f r o m Europe he entered upon his first active duties as a minister as associate pastor o f Centenary Church, Chattanooga, under D r , W . S. Neighbors, pastor. He made many friends f o r himself and did a great w o r k f o r the Master during the two years o f w o r k here. A t the Annua l Conference o f 1925 he was appointed to the pastorate o f the Broad Street Church at Cleveland. A t the end o f the Conference year the congregation was unanimous in the request that their pastor be returned. The wish o f the church was granted, and it was in November f o l l o w i n g his reappointment that he was overtaken w i t h the illness which resulted i n his death.

The death o f Ha r ry Duncan brought gr ie f to his many friends o f Cleveland, Chattanooga, Nashville, and throughout the Holston Conference. I n the loss o f Har ry Duncan i t is f e l t that one has been removed f r o m our midst who, w i t h his personality, his intellect, and his fine Christian spirit , must have come to a place o f leadership and usefulness in our w ork .

Levi Keman Haynes, the son o f Samuel and Parmelia Chandler Haynes, was b o m in Wj-the County, Vi rg in ia , February 15, 1841, He died in the home of his son and daughter at Emory, Va,, December 9, 1925, The youth o f L . K , Haynes was spent on his father's f a r m near Crockett, Va. He attended the schools near his home and, when old enough to be away f r o m home, attended the Academy at Wythevi l le . He later entered T r i n i t y College i n Nor th Carolina, Entering the itinerant ministry at an early age he continued to study unt i l he became educated in many branches o f learning.

The quality o f the home o f his boyhood was clearly revealed in the fact that he became a Christian and united w i t h the Methodist Church i n early boyhood; i t was no less clearly manifested in the gracious refinement o f his l i f e . I f physical appearance and characteristics are passed on f r o m parent to chi ld , even more certain is the social inheritance. T h e grace and charm o f the l i f e o f a Christian mother flavors the entire social l i f e o f the children who grow up at her side. The atmosphere o f a gentle, pure Christian home was ever about the l i f e o f L . K . Haynes.

He entered the t ravel ing ministry o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at the session o f Holston Conference which was held at Greeneville, Tenn,, in 1861, He was then but 20 years o ld . For a l i t t le more than sixty-f o u r years he was a traveling preacher. Only a f e w other men have been f o r so long a term in unbroken connection w i t h Holston Conference, He came into the Conference dur ing the second year o f the W a r Between the States. A f t e r his first year his appointments were in East Tennessee dur ing the C i v i l W a r and f o r several years thereafter. Whi le serving Louisvil le and Lenoir, a f te r the close o f the war, he was made to taste some of the bitterness o f the persecution to which the preachers o f the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, were subjected in that part o f Tennessee, D u r i n g this period he bore himself w i t h both courage and grace. As we l l here as in "the p ip ing times o f peace"

8(: HOLSTON ANNUAL

he adorned the Gospel which he preached. I n o ld age he sometimes to ld in a half-humorous way o f some o f the experiences o f this period. But i f the experiences through which he passed were bitter they l e f t no bitterness in his gentle spirit .

He served the f o l l o w i n g charges: Transylvania ( N . C.) 1861; Mossy Creek '62 ; Rogersvillc '63 ; Rutledge ' 64 ; Louisville and Lenoir ' 65 ; M a r y -v i l l e and Louisvil le ' 66 ; Hendersonville and M i l l s River *67; (records are not available f o r the year '68 to '72 inc lus ive) ; Kingston ' 73 ; Frankl in ( N . C.) '74- '75; Jcffersonville (now Tazewel l ) *76-'77-'78-*79; Decatur '80 ; Jeffer-sonville (Tazewe l l ) ' 8 1 ; Kingston ' 82 ; Pikevil le ' 83 ; Weavcrvil le '84~'85; Jonesville '87- '88i Pearisburg *89-'90; Graham ' 9 1 . I t is wor thy o f note that thrice in his l i f e he was sent a second time to serve as pastor where he had served before—at Kingston, Tenn., and at Tazewell (Jeffersonvi l le) , Va., and at Louisvil le, Tenn.

I n 1892, at the end o f thirty-one years o f active work , Brother Haynes was superannuated, his health having become completely broken. He was never able to be restored to the active ranks. For thirty-three years his was among the names of the honored superannuates o f Holston Conference. By his patient, cheerful wai t ing he ministered dur ing these years as t ru ly as when he was on the march f r o m Transylvania to Jeffersonville, or f r o m Pikevil le to Weaverville. Our itinerancy is both mil i tant and pacific; i t calls f o r patience, cheerfulness and gentleness, no less than f o r courage and for t i tude . No other men are so worthy o f honor by the church as those who, having worn their bodies down by the labors o f the ministry, l inger on through years o f feebleness and o f pain.

The home l i f e o f Brother Haynes had its tragedies as wel l as its beauties and joys. Both o f his parents died whi le he was a youth. On June I S , 1871, he was married to Minerva Evelyn Browder, o f Lenoir, Tenn, Ten years later at Decatur, Tenn,, on October 25, 188 1, the w i f e o f his youth was claimed by death. He was l e f t wi th three small children — Henr j - F ie ld ing Peery, who died January 1, 1894; Lee Kernan and Sallie M a y ( M r s . Peery), who survive their father.

On November 8, 1883, he was married to Miss Hannah Price Love, o f Kingston, Tenn. A f t e r fifteen years o f happy wedded l i f e she died at Tazewel l , Va.

O f the devotion shown by the children o f this aged servant o f God i t is di f f icul t to wr i te without seeming to exaggerate; but in fact i t wou ld be i m possible to use terms of praise too high f o r lov ing devotion. Nothing was l e f t undone f o r his comfor t and nothing was lacking in the geniality and devotion wi th which a l l needed service was rendered.

A f t e r the long evening o f l i f e the end came In great peace. The dear o l d father died in the midst o f his f a m i l y and neighbors at Emory. The funera l services, which were held in the home, were largely attended. There were many members o f the Conference present, among whom may be named J . T y l e r Fazier, J . A . Lyons, L . L . H . Carlock and Geo. A . Maiden. The services were conducted by D r . John C. Orr , the pastor. A beaut i ful solo was sung by Rev. A . B. Hunter. The address was made by I , P. M a r t i n . I t was not an occasion o f great sorrow. The memory o f the wor thy character and devoted service o f the good man gone nude us to sing, even i f in a minor chord, a song o f j o y and gratitude.

About fifty years ago the terr i tory covered by the Holston Conference o f the M . E. Church, South, began to rapidly quicken the pace o f its development. The C i v i l War was a decade in the past, and the mighty upheavals o f that time and the five years succeeding had begun to be leveled out so that i t was possible to view a more extended landscape and plan w i t h more hope o f being able to carry through one's desires. A t the same time, every far-sighted man realized that conditions were then, and must ever continue to be, entirely different f r o m what they had been hitherto, and that pioneering, in a new field and 'midst an unblazed wilderness o f facts, must be undertaken; and this was especially true w i t h reference to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, i n the bounds o f the Holston Conference, Wise, strong, courageous leadership was needed, and God gave us a group o f men who met these conditions.

A m o n g them was W i l l i a m Humberson Price, bom on the Midd le Fork o f the Holston River, in Washington County, Va., November 26, 1837, his father, John Wesley Price, being a member o f the first Board o f Trustees o f Emory and Henry College, and the first chairman o f that Board, This institution D r . Price attended, leaving in his jun io r year f o r study at the Jefferson Medical College, in Philadelphia, Pa. Just pr ior to the outbreak o f the war the Southern students at that institution l e f t in a body, and D r . Price entered the New Orleans School o f Medicine, graduating there in the spring o f 1861. He returned to his home and immediately enlisted as a regular soldier in " D " company, the first cavalry company organized in Washington County, and was mustered into service on A p r i l 21 , 1861. A t the request o f his captain (a f te r wards General) W i l l i a m E . Jones, he went before the medical examining board in Richmond and was assigned to the Seventh V i rg in i a Cavalry as surgeon, his services continuing uninterruptedly to the time o f the surrender at Appomattox, where he was one o f that small company of intrepid soldiers who, f o l l o w i n g General Thomas L . Rosser, cut through the Federal lines in a vain ef for t to j o i n General Joseph E. Johnston in the f a r south.

A f t e r the close o f the war D r . Price came back to Washington County and took up the practice o f his profession. On August 22, 1867, he was married to Miss Mar tha J . Crow, Rev. B . W . S. Bishop officiating. O f this union were born six children, one dying in in fancy ; the others—Judge John W . Price, M r s . Anna ( W . H . ) T ro l l i nge r , Mrs . Susan (John A . ) Howard , W i l l i a m Humberson Price, and Walter C. Price—all surviving both fa ther and mother, the latter o f whom died July 20, 1899.

T o this successful and beloved physician there came a call to preach, and he who had so promptly answered the call o f his State was equally prompt to answer the call o f God. He was admitted on t r i a l into the Holston Conference at the session which met in Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1872, and was appointed to the Hl l l sv i l l e Circui t . W i t h the exception o f 1896 to 1900, when on account o f the illness o f his w i f e and a bronchial trouble which affected his voice he was on the supernumerary list, he filled various circuits and districts f r o m that time unt i l he took a superannuate relation in 190+. Both as a pastor and presiding elder his ministry was marked by protracted reviva l services and church bui lding, and the esteem In which he had been held as a physician became surpassed by that he enjoyed as a minister o f the gospel. The record o f these years may be found in our "Annuals."

On Ju ly 12, 1904, he was again married, this time to Miss Jennie P. M i l -

88 HOLSTON ANNUAL

ler, o f Pulaski County, V i rg in i a , who, w i t h their one daughter, M r s . D w i g h t Sheets, survives h im.

The end o f the journey was reached in peace at his home in Bristol , Va. , on Saturday morning, July 24, 1926, wi th his loved ones about him, A great company gathered in State Street Church f o r the services on Sunday afternoon, the wr i te r being assisted by several other preachers, among whom Bros, S. T . M . McPherson and D . S. Hearon were classmates o f his, having joined the Conference at the same time. He sleeps in the cemetery at Emory, Va., not many miles f r o m where he was born and in the midst o f a terr i tory to which he gave the best that was in him both as a physician and a preacher.

His eldest son. Judge John W, Price, o f Washington, D , C , in a letter to the wri ter , said: " I think perhaps the outstanding points in my father's l i f e were his absolute f a i t h in the Christian rel igion and his universal love f o r mankind in general." W i t h this estimate I thoroughly agree. I have never known a man who believed more impl ic i t ly in God and His over-rul ing p rov i dence, and who was more certain o f his inheritance w i t h the saints in l igh t , through the atonement o f Jesus Christ. Like St, Paul , he had a religious experience which was an anchor in the midst o f a l l storms, and around which a l l his t h ink ing and acting revolved. His love f o r people fo l l owed very logical ly . He who loves God loves his brother also; and while D r . Price had very strong and firm convictions, by which he always stood fast, there was never that spirit which becomes so tenacious o f its own judgments as that i t becomes i l l ibera l and acrimonious towards those who see otherwise. Thus this staunch and uncompromising advocate o f what he conceived to be right, became, through the spirit o f brotherliness which was his, one o f the best beloved men among us; and i t was these characteristics which made him the great factor he was in the crucial days through which this section o f country, in common w i t h others, passed, and these are the ones which keep him alive in the hearts and lives o f hundreds o f the people o f this " h i l l country" today. Fo r many years he has been on the list o f our great and good men, and we doubt not the fu tu re historians w i l l keep his name there. J . S. F R E N C H .

Th i s memoir is prepared iinder the influence o f a strong personal f r i e n d ship and without definite data. Rufus M . Standefer was born in Bledsoe Countj", Tennessee, the son o f James Standefer and w i f e , and grandson o f Gen. James Standefer, one o f the first settlers in Sequatchie Valley, a large land-owner, and f o r twenty years member o f Congress, Rufus was the f o u r t h chi ld in a f a m i l y o f seven sons and one daughter, a l l having passed away except the eldest brother. Long before he attained the teen-age he was l e f t an orphan. I n the troubled times before and dur ing the C i v i l W a r he was on l i f e ' s tempestuous sea without rudder or compass, d r i f t i n g hither and thither upon the waves o f circumstance. Had he not been endowed wi th an unusual personality, having keen perception, a v i v i d imagination and a strong and wor thy ambition, his early environments would have terminated in his certain obl ivion. But he was blessed w i t h vision and remarkable physical courage and w i t h almost unequalled social qualities.

with him as one of his family until of age, when he was to receive a small stipulated sum. He was a hard and constant worker, and was a valuable accession to the large force of farm hands.

When a small boy praying alone under the forest trees God gave him a glimpse of light from out the upper heavens, a wonderful experience he never forgot. He had no guide to help him build on this vision of life, and later suffered sad fluctuations in his religious living. His remarkable and attractive social qualities were a menace to his virtues. He had far more to overcome than the average man, yet the grace of God triumphed and he found the divinely marked way of life in the gospel ministry. He had a leaning toward the law, but his conscience would not release him from his conviction of duty.

He was licensed to preach in September, 1874. Was admitted on trial in the Holston Conference in October, 1875, , His first assignment was Altamont Mission, which he served two years with success. He then attended Vanderbilt University three years, taking the two-year Theological course and a year in addition. Leaving school in 1880 he took work in the North Mississippi Conference, serving Concordia, where, in 1 883, he was happily married to Miss Eddie Blanchard. Later he served quadrenniums at Greenville, Columbus, Oxford, Clarksdale and Greeneville District. In a dreadful scourge of yellow fever at Oxford he remained at his post of duty whence most had fled, ministered to the suffering and dying, was appointed mayor of the city fro tern., and in many ways did heroic service. His faithfulness well-nigh cost him his life from the fearful disease, for he was a victim. It will be seen that the strongest churches were open to him. At this time there was an unfortunate hiatus in his itinerant career, for a season, during which he suffered almost the tortures of death io trying to save himself from financial wreckage and personal collapse through ill-health.

Again the Divine hand led to extrication from his thraldom. He reentered Holston Conference, his first love, to render good service. He served Rockwood, Jasper, Morristown four years, Pulaski, Va., and Clinton, Tenn., each five years. The close of his career was unique. With his family fragment of three he came to Clinton. In the second year his son, and only remaining child, found his last resting place in the Clinton cemetery. Little James and Mary had been laid to rest in Mississippi. The trial was sore indeed. Early the past Conference year the greatest of all his trials came in the tragic death of his beloved wife. Such loneliness as he experienced since last November cannot be expressed in writing. Vet with intrepid determination he faced the future and refused to entertain any other thought than that of ending his life in the active relation. And so it mercifully turned out. The three sleep side by side in the cemetery of their last charge.

Brother Standefer was a man of fine intelligence and splendid conversational powers. He had traveled extensively, having gone abroad twice. He had an excellent library'. He bought the best books and literature, and was a great reader, especially in his earlier years. He was an entertaining preacher, but not a technical sermonizer. He was a good pastor and wielded a strong influence among men. He was capable of true and sustained friendship. His friendships ranged from the obscure and unlettered mountaineers to the dignitaries of Church and State. He was equally at home in the humble hovels of the poor or the palaces of the rich. In conversation he was never ill at ease in any circle. He was universally popular.

Never, perhaps, has a pastor been accorded greater loyalty and affection

90 HOLSTON ANNUAL

than the people of Clinton gave him. Most of the past year he was away— his salary went on. T w o excellent white nurses were secured during his illness —one for day, one by night. His members, business men, ladies, came often to see him. They loved him.

Three weeks before his death I spent about two days with him, having several conversations. Always hopeful of recoverj', he thought of nothing but to get well and be active again. As quietly as I might I presented the alternative, asking, "How is it with you—If you should not recover:" His prompt and assuring response was, "It is all right—and the way is clear."

He had loved his home, his dear wife and children. They had left him in utter loneliness. Now God "provided some better thing for him,ând he was not, for God took him," J O H N R , S T E W A R T .

E l i j a h Fletcher Kahle was the son of Godly parents — Samuel and Kath-erine McLean Kahle. He was bom in Amherst County, Virginia, July 24, 1853, In his early youth the family moved to Mercer County, West Virginia. Here he spent his boyhood and youth; here, also, after he became an itinerant preacher, he served his first pastoral charge, Princeton Circuit,

As a youth Bro. Kahle attended the public schools of Mercer County and such other schools as were within his reach, and made such use of the advantages which they afforded as to become well finished in Intellectual life.

He was licensed to preach by the quarterly conference of the Princeton Circuit, and by it recommended for admission into the Annual Conference. He was admitted on trial into Holston Conference in 1878 and was sent to the Cleveland Circuit. Before the end of the year he transferred to Texas, where he remained for two or three years. Upon his return from Texas he engaged in mercantile business at Princeton, and was successful in this pursuit. Very tempting offers were made to hold him in secular business, but his heart was in the work to which he had been called of God. Again the Princeton Circuit recommended him for admission Into the traveling connection and he was again admitted Into Holston Conference at Cleveland, Tenn,, in October, 1885. Among his classmates were W. M . Dyer and E d . A, Til ley.

While in Texas he married Miss E v a Gillette, of Austin on February 15, 1880. Their union was one of the most blessed fellowship in al l the years that followed until the beautiful life of the charming wife and devoted mother was ended on February 27, 1900. Mrs. Kahle died at Abingdon, leaving her heartbroken husband with their little children, the youngest of whom was only nine months old.

A H of the children, save one, Eleanor (Mrs, H , E . Widener), who died August 7, 1915, survive their father. They are: Katherlne (Mrs. Roy W . Sexton), Mar>- (Mrs, W. P. Sumner), Eleanor (Mrs. H . E . Widener), Louise (Mrs. John Jennings), Earnestlne (Mrs. W . E . Mingea, J r . ) , E v a (Mrs. W . H . Price, J r . ) , and E . F . Kahle, Jr .

He was married the second time to Mrs, Martha Sadler Vaughn, of Richmond, Va. , on June 18, 1908. So perfectly did the life of this lovely woman blend with that of her husband that each of the children by the first marriage enjoy the unique privilege of having two mothers who fill to the brim the best ideals of Christian motherhood. Mrs. Kahle's son, Al fred Vaughn, and

[ HOLSTON ANNUAL 91

they grew up as one family. One child, Patsy, now almost grown, was born into this charming home life,

Bro. Kahle was ordained deacon at Abingdon, Va. , October 9, 1887, by Bishop H , N, McTyeire; and he was ordained elder at Morristown, Tenn., October 7, 1889, by Bishop A . W. Wilson. As before stated, his first work was Princeton Circuit, which he served two years, 1885-6. After this he served Liberty Hil l (Tazewell County), four years, 1887-90 ; Emory Circuit three years, 1891-3; Grove Avenue, Radford, three years 1894-6; Abingdon District four years, 1897-1900 ; Wytheville District four years, 1901-4; Abingdon District two years, 1905-6; Commissioner of Education and Agent of Martha Washington College two years, 1907-8; Secretary Virginia Chi l dren's Home Society seventeen years; 1909"'26.

In every work to which he was assigned he was both successful and popular. With great diligence he attended to every detail of his work, and so genial was his personality that people gladly followed his leadership. In every charge and district which he served his name is lovingly repeated as mothers are asked to name their children at the baptismal font. Many were the marriage services which he was called to perform. He had a genius for friendship, making friends in all circles regardless of race, station, age or creed. He was peculiarly fitted for the work which occupied his last years. He could bring the rich and poor together and thereby help childless homes to find and care for homeless children. T o see him with one, or a troupe of these children left a picture not easily forgotten. In his eyes they were all beautiful and to his heart they were al l good. As i f by some magic touch they yielded to his control and direction. A l l of the children in his neighborhood called him "Daddy Kahle." His family adored him. The hospitality of his home has known no limits,

Bro. Kahle was lovingly devoted to Holston Conference, He had never missed a session since he was admitted on trial forty-one years ago; lying in the hospital for five weeks before his death, which occurred Sunday morning, October 3, he several times asked, "When will October first come?" That he was thinking of the gathering hosts there can be little doubt. When we gather with him again there will be no nights of pain, nor fevered days of anguish, for "God shall wipe away all tears."

As treasurer of the Brotherhood he had often soothed the sorrowing hearts of bereaved ones. We shall repay as best we may by ministries of sympathy and love to his bereaved family.

Reverently and quietly we carried the body from the home to the Methodist Church, where for many years he had worshipped, A great throng had gathered there, many coming from great distances. The services were led by the pastor, Rev. E . A . Shugart. Others taking part in the services were Bishop H . M . DuBose, D r . Walsh, pastor of Presbyterian Church; Geo. A . Maiden, D . H . Carr, I . P. Martin, W . S. Neighbors and S. D . Long. Many other members of Holston Conference were present. After the services we drove in the mellow autumn afternoon to the cemetery at Emory and there tenderly committed his body to the ground and covered it with a bank of beautiful flowers.

Bro. Kahle is survived by one sister—Mrs. J . C , Wall—and three brothers — W i l l , John and Charlie. An adopted daughter—Mrs. Scott Thompson— also survives her foster-father.

We shall miss Bro. Kahle in the Conference and in his work for homeless

children. We shall miss his genial, friendly greeting} we shall miss him in the home—but of the whither of his going there is no question in our hearts.

I . P . M A R T I N .

W H E R E A S , our dear brother, E . F , Kahle, has from its organization been Secretary-Treasurer of the Holsion Conference Brotherhood, and during all these years has been most faithful and untiring in the discharge of the duties of his office, and ever zealous for the growth and welfare of the Brotherhood.

George Rutledge Stuart, youngest of the five children of Mr . and Mrs. Caswell C. Stuart, was born at Talbott Station, Tenn., Decemlxr 14, 1 8 5 7 . The account of his struggles against difficulties through to manhood reads like a romance. At the age of ! 2 he hired out to neighbors for meagre wages to buy clothing. With indomitable pluck and perseverence he fought his way through, securing an education in spite of untoward circumstances. While teaching school at Warrensburg, in Greene County, Tennessee, he decided to move his membership from the Presbyterian to the Methodist Church, and to secure license to preach, which he did in his twentieth year. Later he matriculated at Emory and Henry College, receiving a bonus for each of ten students he induced to go with him.

On the 6th day of September, 1 8 8 3 , following his graduation at Emory and Henrj', he and Miss ZoUicofier SuUins, oldest daughter of D r . and Mrs. David SuUins, were united in marriage in the college chapel. In 1 8 8 4 he was received on trial into the Holston Conference, and was stationed at Cleveland, Tenn., where he founded our Centenary College, T h e evangelistic fire and fervor called to him, and his heart responded. Preaching once for Sam Jones, the great evangelist, in an emergencj', he captured the crowd and the evangelist, and was commandeered by the one and only Sam Jones to join him in the work of evangelism. How they swept over the land like a prairie fire is

HOLSTON ANNUAL 9 3

known to a l l . Later he was commandeered by Bishop John C. Keener back into the pastorate, and was statiuned at Centenary , Church, Chattanooga. A year later he located, that he might continue his evangelistic preferences and usefulness.

I n 1912 Bro. Stuart was readmitted into the Holston Conference, and was stationed at Church Street Church, Knoxv i l l e , where packed cong-regations hung upon his messages f o r f o u r years—the Disciplinary t ime- l imi t . In the faJl o f 1916 he was transferred to the Nor th Alabama Conference, and stationed at our great First Church there. As in Knoxv i l l e , crowds packed the immense auditorium day and night , un t i l f a i l i n g health did its inevitable work. Surgical operations and the best hospital service in the land only delayed the march o f the malady. He died at his home in Birmingham last May , while our General Conference was in session at Memphis.

Words f a i l to te l l o f the populari ty and wide-spread influence o f this "master o f assemblies." He swept his hearers w i t h irresistible w i t , humor, pathos and eloquence. As a flaming evangel against the l iquor traffic he helped to create sentiment which put prohibit ion into our Federal Constitution.

George Stuart was the preacher's f r i end . He loved his home. T w o sons and three daughters rise up to revere his memory. His widow, w i t h a touch of the pathos and tenderness o f her sainted f a t h e r — o u r own D r . Dav id Sullins—stood in our midst a f e w hours ago, and spoke o f the Holston memories surging through her heart. Holston bowed her head in g r i e f at the news o f his going—but l i f t e d her head in t r iumph at the thought o f his victory over the last enemy. We shall not see his l ike again. We miss his magnetic presence, his courageous leadership, his unaffected fe l lowship as a brother beloved. But he is not dead. Th rough the passing years his spirit and i n f l u ence w i l l be s t i l l here amongst us. J A M E S A . B U R R O W .

M R S . J . F . JONES.

M r s . John F. Jones was the daughter o f W . S. Wi l l i ams and w i f e . She was born at Steven's Creek, Grayson County, Va., September 22, 1870} died i n her parsonage home at Wylhevi l le , Va,, October 12, 1925, aged 55 years and 20 days. Her childhood and br ight young womanhood were spent i n the community o f her birthplace, where she was known and loved by a large circle o f friends, and was affectionately called "Lo la , everybody's f r i e n d . "

I n the spring o f 1885 she was converted and received into the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, by Rev. John Bor ing at a meeting held at M t . Olive Church, and became an active and useful Christian g i r l when she was 15 years old. That childhood experience was a g rowing and developing principle through a l l her af ter l i f e . She "knew H i m in whom she believed, and that He was able to keep that — that she had committed to H i m . "

On February 23, 1888, she was married to John F . Jones and entered into the relationship that f o r thirty-seven years was unbroken by a shadow o f discord. Four children were bom to them—two sons and two daughters. The two boys went away in childhood's bright days to a heavenly home. The daughters — M r s . Robert E. Lee, Persia, Tenn., and M a r y Frances — survive her.

In the year 1896 her strong young husband f e l t the divine call to the Christian ministry and \vas not disobedient to the heavenly vision. I n the

94 HOLSTON ANNUAL

year 1897 he was admitted into the Holston Conference, She j o y f u l l y gave up the associations and pleasures o f her childhood home to tread the sunshine and shadows that come to the experiences o f a preacher's w i f e . For twenty-nine years she called no place her abiding home, but went to the places to which they were sent by the church. D u r i n g these years they lived in the parsonage home and in each o f them she gathered about her a circle o f devoted fr iends that loved her f o r the pur i ty and unselfishness o f her Christian l i f e and f o r her consecration to the sacred relations to which she had been called. She was prevented f r o m the active service that she would so gladly have given the church and her home by long and severe affl iction, but she was cheerful and patient amid i t a l l , and ready when the summons came to exchange a cross o f suffering f o r a crown o f g lory .

A number o f kind friends came w i t h their pastor and his grief-stricken daughters to lay the precious body o f w i f e and mother away in the cemetery by her childhood home to sleep w i t h kindred dust un t i l the dead in Christ shall arise, T . C. V A U G H N .

M R S . R. M . S T A N D E F E R .

M r s . Eddie Blanchard Standefer, daughter o f Nelson and M a r y A . Blan-chard, was born in Bol ivar County, Mississippi, September 5, 186+, in an atmosphere o f genti l i ty and culture characteristic o f the o ld Southern home. She was baptized August 18, 1867, by Rev. B . F . Pearson. She was reared i n a Christian home in the presence o f the ideals o f Methodism. W i t h her natura l ly sunny disposition, and, being a favori te among her loved ones, her g r o w i n g l i f e was the normal u n f o l d i n g o f a happy childhood and youth. Al though i t never became necessary f o r her to be denied even the luxuries o f l i f e , she remained unspoiled and developed into an unusually unselfish personal i ty . Self-forgetfulness in the interest o f others was a dominant trait , so deeply engraven that the duties and trials which came to her d id not efface but only emphasized and made more beautiful to the end o f her useful and consecrated l i f e . She was given liberal educational advantages, graduating f r o m the Jackson Female College at the age o f 18. One who knew her most intimately said, " W i t h a happy disposition, she was always br ight and cheery, and very companionable w i t h her associates,"

She came early into the experiences o f the Christian l i f e and was unconsciously preparing f o r the great religious responsibilities before her. A t the tender age o f 19 she became the w i f e o f the Rev. Rufus M . Standefer and assumed the weighty and wearing duties o f an itinerant preacher's w i f e . She idolized her husband. Never, perhaps, was a w i f e truer to her husband's i n terests in every way than was she. She loved the great cause f o r which she was g i v i n g her l i f e . She loved the people, and her habit o f going among them, especially in visitations to the sick and afflicted, won their appreciation and love. The simplicity o f pur i ty and assurance adorned her dai ly walk and conversation. Called w i t h her husband into some o f the most exacting pastorates she bore herself splendidly in her sweet sincerity and unassuming goodness.

Three beaut i ful children blessed their home. The wealth o f her l ov ing service was gladly given to them. They were Rufus M . , Jr., James P.—who l e f t his l i t t le chair vacant when he was 2 years o f age—and M a r y M . , the idol o f their hearts, who went to God at the age o f 8. A f t e r this a l l her

HOLSrON ANNUAL 95

mother-love was centered on Rufus , whose devotion to his mother was constant and beaut i fu l . He was spared to her u n t i l three years ago to make the pathway o f his parents brighter.

His going was doubtless her deepest bereavement, yet she endured w i t h for t i tude and f a i t h . Sending the children on before is an a w f u l exaction o f an advanced payment! Bu t a l l the fluctuations o f for tune, the loss o f loved ones and the sore trials o f l i f e did not tarnish her golden f a i t h which grew brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.

A most unexpected and distressing incident o f November, 1925, was the "one clear c a l l " f o r her, and on the 18th o f that month she entered the ever-blessed rest. Her chief regret was leaving her i n f i r m husband whom she had loved and nurtured w i t h unexcelled devotion. She had been his true helper through the glad sunshine and the somber shadows. Her mor ta l remains rest by those o f her first-born son, and recently by those o f her husband, in the cemeterj' at Cl inton, Tenn. J O H N R. S T E W A R T .

M R S . GEORGE D . F R E N C H . The lines o f heredity that converged in Sophia Hoss French are wor thy

o f note. On the maternal side she belonged to the lineage o f the Seviers. M a r i a Sevier Hoss, John Sevier the th i rd , and John Sevier the second are the links leading back to the John Sevier whose name is fixed in the annals o f Tennessee's o r ig in and America.'s independence. Michael Boone, an ancestor o f Daniel Boone, was also an ancestor o f her father, Henry Hoss. There were t ies,of blood, therefore, that connected her w i t h this picturesque figure in pioneer history.

Not less noteworthy is the line o f spir i tual heredity. T h e unique and irresistible John A . Granade numbered among 'his many converts the f a m i l y of John Sevier, and put that name f o r the first time on the class-book o f a Methodist church. Johnson City , the seat o f this Conference, happens to be the ver j ' center o f the activities o f these never-to-be-forgotten forebears.

Those who knew Sister French intimately could discover wi thout di f f icul ty the endowments o f mind and heart suggestive o f such an inheritance and legacy. Her interest in the larger issues o f both Church and State was always apparent, her acceptance o f the verities o f the higher revelation was wholehearted, her outlook on l i f e was that o f a mind that thought and a heart that knew.

B o m near Jonesboro, Tenn. , March 3, 1851 ; reared i n a cultured Christian home along w i t h her distinguished brother. Bishop Hoss; converted and joined the church in g i r lhood ; united in marriage to Rev. George D . French August 20, 1874; mother o f seven children, f o u r o f whom survive her; passed to her reward December 22, 1925, and la id to rest in the cemetery at Mor r i s -town, Tenn. These are items o f the record that have their place in this br ief memoir. A n d between them moves a developing and ripening character that f o u n d its culmination in a serene and triumphant end.

The responsibilities that f e l l to the lot o f her married l i f e were unusual. Her husband's duties as presiding elder o f large districts, and again as Bible Society Agent, necessitated frequent and protracted absences in his fields o f labor. Home administration, therefore, was largely hers—the rearing o f the children, the ordering o f domestic affairs, and even the disposing o f matters o f his office that could not await his return. These she managed w i t h rare

96 HOLSTON ANNUAL

judgment and courage. D r . French was accustomed to say that he carried no anxieties w i t h h im on his rounds, knowing that the home would be run better in his absence than w i t h his presence; and the f o u r daughters grown to womanhood, a l l active in the affairs o f the Christian f a i t h , attest the carefu l t ra ining she gave them. Rev. J . W . Moore , D . D . , o f the Vi rg in ia Conference, l ived in her home f o r a school term dur ing his boyhood, and tenderly speaks o f his conversion as rel igion was discussed about the fireside.

A stranger, even, could not f a i l to be impressed w i t h her modest bearing and unobtrusive attitudes. Showy elements did not predominate w i t h her, nor did she express her qualities in loud tones. She cared l i t t le f o r profession, much f o r possession; nothing at a l l f o r the tawdry and the bizarre whether in social relationships or in rel igion, but much f o r the testimony o f a good conscience and tlie love that rejoices in the t ru th . Seeing her of ten among the flowers that bloomed along the borders o f the yard, I have of ten thought how l i t t le she resembled in her moods the sun-flower l i f t i n g its colors and spreadi n g its petals above the levels o f the landscape, and how very like the arbutus blooming among the leaves and announcing in notes o f fragrance the resurrections o f the Springtime.

" D o not let my Conference memoir be l ong , " she once said to the wri ter , and this modest wish w i l l be regarded, but not indeed unt i l i t is wri t ten down that she translated the moods o f a noble spir i t into a l i f e o f beneficence and blessing. A n d its passing brings the touch o f sadness, but wi tha l the memory of its radiance which is sufficient. E, E. W I L E Y .

MRS. S. R. W H E E L E R , Margaret A n n , daughter o f W i l l i a m F. and Elizabeth B . Ransberger, was

born at Lewisburg, W . Va., M a y 21 , 1845, and died in Richmond, Ind . , March 24, 1926, at the ripe o l d age o f four-score years. She was a member of a large and prominent f a m i l y , o f whom only three remain — one brother and two sisters.

On November 17, 1881, she became the devoted w i f e o f Rev. S. R. Wheeler, and f o r eight or ten years shared the trials, hardships and joys o f the itinerant l i f e w i t h h im, un t i l the f a i t h f u l man o f God was called to his home on h igh .

Sister Wheeler was a devoted Christian. D u r i n g the th i r ty-f ive or more years 6 f her widowhood she made Athens, W . Va., her home — where her sainted husband had been pastor, and where she served in many ways the Church, the home, and community. I t was a delight to be in her beaut i fu l ly kept home, whether as matron o f the dormitory f o r students, or the l i t t l e home she secured af ter many years o f sacrificial service. I t may be w e l l said o f her, " A saint l ived among us here on earth, and passed on to her heavenly home."

Because o f her age and afflictions she disposed o f her home and l ived w i t h friends f o r several years. She had just spent, the winter months w i t h her niece. Miss Ethel Dean, in Richmond, Ind . , when the end came.

Whether at home or abroad, on land or on sea, she was robed and ready w i t h her Savior to be. Her remains were accompanied to Alderson, W . Va., by her niece. Miss Dean, but finding the plot occupied near her sainted hus-

T

band's grave, her body was brought to Athens, W. Va. , and laid to rest in the Dean Square, near her sister and brother-in-law. Her pastor. Rev, A, B . Moore, and Rev, R. S. Umberger held appropriate and impressive services in the Methodist Church, of which she was a member for many years. T h e funeral services, both at the church and the cemetery, were attended by many old friends and neighbors. "It is a blessed hope that we shall meet in that land, upon whose blissful shore there falls no shadow, rests no stain, where those long parted meet again." And those who meet shall part no more.

R. S . U M B E R G E R .

M R S . A. M . Q U A L L S . March 20, 1926, in the little country home of Mrs. Sarah Anne Hamilton

and Mr . James Hamilton the entire community suffered a great loss when Mrs, Sophrana Quails, daughter of the above-mentioned parents, and wife of Rev. A. M . Quails, passed to her reward. She was born in-Wise County, Apri l 24, 1880, only a few miles from Wise, Va. At a comparatively young age she was married to Rev. A . M . Quails, an itinerant preacher of the Holston Conference. T o this union was born ten children, one iiaving preceded her. The children are all well and making good.

Mrs. Quails was converted at Evensville, Tenn. She joined the M . E . Church, South, and lived a faithful member till the end. T h e home where this mother made her abode was an unusual home with a very unusual family. Tliere was no brighter or more useful Christian character—useful in her capacity as a mother, ajid useful in the community. She was loved by all who knew her. The memory of this good mother will long linger with the people who knew her best. The home was a home with family prayer and finest Christian culture and influence.

As a wife of an itinerant preacher she knew hardships, but never grumbled. She was industrious, a patient mother, and, though a little reticent in manner, she was always devoted to her friends and family, never failing to be of service to others. Like a true mother, she always fought her battles in the silent way, only glad to lend a hand to make the path a little smoother for others.

The funeral service was conducted by Rev. C . T , Miller, of Wise, Va. , at the home of her parent-i, and the body was laid to rest in the family cemetery nearby. A large concourse of people assembled to pay their last respects, and many beautiful floral offerings were in evidence from loving friends.

C . T . M I L L E R .

M R S . A. N. J A C K S O N . Ellen Cox was born at Louisville, Tenn., May 27, 1858, She was the

daughter of Mr . and Mrs. H . T . Cox and was married to A, N . Jackson April 17, 1 877. She was converted in her early youth and joined the M . E . Church, South, and faithfully met its obligations to the end.

She was instrumental in the conversion of her husband, and was an enthusiastic co-worker with him through seventeen years of his itinerant ministry. During these years, and afterward, she was officially connected with both the Home and Foreign Missionary Societies on the various charges served by her

9 8 HOLSTON ANNUAL

husband, and for about fifteen years was third vice-president of the Conference Home Mission Society. This especial work involved a ministry to the young life of the church for which she was in every way adapted, and her reports and long service show she was eminently successful. In the Cradle Roll , Junior League and class room of Sunday School the spirit of young life not only appealed to her, but it saturated her own spirit, and youth found in her a sympathetic fellowship that interpreted the lessons she taught; and these children's children will rise up to call her blessed,"

She had strong convictions of the right, for which her Bible was unquestionable authority. She believed it was God's word in toto, and was not given to condemn but to save. She condemned offense with such sympathetic grace that it left the offender only chastenod with the consciousness of his deed — for she reproved more by example than by homily, and the recreant understood.

She had highly developed social graces, but they were not exploited in questionable ways. She was not unseemly; she envied not, nor sought her own; she was not puffed up; she was kind. She loved God and loved people for God's sake. Her culture was without effrontery, and was rare in its adaptability to uncultured conditions. In her the proud found a peer and the humble a companion. In contact with both there was the underlying motive of enhancement of the church and betterment of the world.

She saw her whole family converted and her children married, and complacently declared before her going that God had satisfied every anxiety and answered every prayer for which she waited; that He had given her the desires of her heart was her cue that the time of her departure was at hand^ and so it proved. Care-free and with yot.a wholesome love of life she went away unburdened with its impediinenta.

God has taken Uis own and left His abounding promises in lieu. The appalling haze has fallen over a beautiful spirit but left new evidence of the "things not seen" in the hearts of those who loved her. So memorial can fully reveal the secret of a God-kept life, It is easy to be profuse when, out of the eternal mysteries, consciousness of our absent beloved comes enfilading down through the chambers of the soul, but it is comfort enough to commit into His hands her record and her destiny.

Revelation gives us the barest glimpses of what is to be, and the imagination balks at its untold splendor, but we are sure its appointments must befit the worth of immortal souls and the dignity of an infinite God. There has not "entered into the heart of man the things which God hath prepared for them that love him," "God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit," but these are the "deep things of God" which Paul saw and heard but could not utter. The brain can have no adequate judgment; the tongue can have no sufficient speech; but the spirits of men know the way; it is enough to know that she who loved and is the selfsame immortal whom we have loved "long since and lost awhile."

S/ie is not dead, nor sleefeth; What God hath made He keepeth;

In some rare transjigured way The life she lived, she liveth; And unfeigned faith. He giveth

Till ive shall KNOW some brighter day.
