BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORT NO. 1
Our Purpose
What Is Religious Education?
A.-What are the high purposes of Christian Education in the local
churches of this conference? 1. To guide children, youth, and adults into an experience of Jesus
Christ as personal Saviour and Lord. 2. To lead them to accept the Christian philosophy of life. 3. To help them to grow into virile and radiant Christians, 4. To encourag·e them to take the sublime missionary and evangelistic
tasks of Christ and His Church seriously. ''You cannot set fire to a vacuum. Mass evangelism has been a
powerful spiritual weapon in the history of the Church. But the €£. fectiveness of any mass appeal in the future will depend on what has been already accomplished through the educational method .... The conversion experience is an hour of commitment, but it can only be a commitment to the Christian conceptions which have been planted in a life through some kind of educational process. No man can dedicate himself to anything except that which he understands, no matter how powerful an emotional experience may be."-Bishop W. T. Wat-
kins. B.-What are the aims of our Church colleges? "The aims of the Church college are to place religion at the center
of its purpose as an institution and to create an atmosphere congenial to the development of a Christian philosophy of life and a Christian standard of eon duct; to maintain high standards in literary, classical, and scientific education; to develop a Christian love of freedom and truth; to stimulate and develop intelleetual curiosity, critical acumen, and creative imagination; and to render the greatest constructive Christian service to the individual, to the state, to the nation, and to the Church. This is Christian Education."_.;President W. K. Greene.

OUR PROGRAM
A.
The General Board of Education is rendering a magnificent service to our Methodism. Our leaders have given serious and prayerful con· sideration to the task of religious education in the local churches and they are prepared to furnish information and inspiration to us.
There is a growing convietion on the part of our leaders that each local church should make its own program of work. We believe that the Board of Education in each local church should study the physical,

WOFFORD'S PROMOTION AND REHABILITATION ,PROGRAM 1940-1945
Report of President Greene: During the academic year 1942-43, over $80,000.00 have been
added to the resources of the College, and, of this amount over $61,-000.00 are in cash. This does not include the amount of over $70,-000.00 of Living Endowment that is being sponsored by Wofford Alumni. Those who have become contributors to this endowment are paying to the College 3 per cent of the amount they sponsor each year. This fund is to be used for carrying out a plan of retirement for teachers when they reach age seventy. There is no more worthy cause in the College than that of providing a retirement fund for these Christian teachers who give their lives to the task of building God's kingdom through the instrumentality of Christian Education.
The period from 1040 to 1945 has been set aside by the two con-ferences as the period in which Wofford will present to South Carolina Methodism its program of Promotion and Rehabilitation.
This program began with the Roll Call, which was interrupted by the outbreak of war for our beloved country. Since that time a booklet has been prepared setting forth in detail the various projects included in the program. The plan contemplates going into each of the eleven districts of Methodism in South Carolina and securini;; the
funds to complete several of the total objectives. One of the objectives-the remodeling of Snyder Hall-has almost
been achieved in the l\larion District. The project-the remodeling of Carlisle Hall-was initiated in May, 194:.3, and will be continued at the close of the Annual Conference session. The project of the Living Endowment is progressing satisfactorily. The project for beautifying the campus is proceeding in a most encouraging manner in the city of Spartanburg and will be carried to the Methodist District
of Spartanburg after the Annual Conference session. About the first of December the project for building a War Memo-
rial Chapel and a Student Activities Building will be carried to the other eight distrids of Methodism. These buildings are of vital importance to the future .program and success of our beloved college, and we are confident that the Methodists and the \Vofford Alumni of these districts will respond generously to the plans to make Wofford the kind of college that every Methodist in South Carolina will be proud of.
This program of Wofford College is projected on faith-faith that the hearts of loyal Methodist men and wome,n will be warmed by the appeal to make this college an even greater f orc:e for Christian thinking and living than it has ever been throughout its long and honorable
history. H. N. SNYDER, President. D. A. CLYBURN, Secretary.

cupied in April. However, on account of labor conditions the offices were not completed until this month.
The property was purchased for $6,000. Our Board made a cash payment of $1,000 from funds on hand. We borrowed $1,500 from the Commercial National Bank of Spartanburg on an open note signed by the President and Executive Secretary of the Board, and made a second payment. This amount is being liquidated at the rate of $67.50 per month. We took up a mortgage of $3,500, held by the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Spartanburg, and we are liquidating this at the rate of $35.00 per month. The debt will be paid at approximately the same rental we have heretofore been paying.
The Building Committee: C. P. Hammond, J. K. Davis, and W. L. Mullikin.
The Annual Report of the Treasurer, J. K. Davis, will be submitted to the Annual Conference. All obligations will be paid. The Board of Education is grateful to the churches of this conference for their support. May the richest blessings of God abide upon all who helped to make this report possible!

BOARD OF EDUCATION REPORT NO. 4
We acknowledge with gratitude the presence of Dr. Walter N. Vernon, Jr., from the Department of Publication of the General Board of Education; Dr. Arva C. Floyd, Professor of Candler School of Theology, Emory University; Dr. Albert C. Outler of Duke University, and Dr. E. C. Peters, President of Paine College. Their presence has been a source of inspiration both to our Board and the whole annual conference.
B. Recommendations
1. Wofford College. (See attached sheet marked Report 4 B 1.) 2. Christian Literature.
We earnestly recommend that the Christian Advocate, edited by Dr. Roy L. Smith, have a wider circulation among both ministers and laymen. We highly recommend the "Upper Room" to our people and advise that Methodist literature is adequate for all our needs.
3. We recommend our Seminaries, the Candler School of Theology of Emory Universty and the Divinity School of Duke Univrsity, to the ;roung men of our conference who ai-e planning to enter the Christian ministry. Dr. G. C. ,rhite, President of Emory University, reports that this institution continues its valuable service to our church. More than seventy-five graduates of the School of Theology are serving as Chaplains in the Army or Navy. In many instances pulpit vacandes caused by active pastors entering the Chaplaincy have been filled Ly theological students nearing completion of their course. The Work Scholarship Plan of the School of Theology is proving its value

by Dr. Harris Franklin Rall; "The Pastor and His Task," led by Dr. Lester Rumble; "The Church and Rural Welfare," taught by Dr. C. M. l\IcConnell; and "Christian Bases of World Order," led by Bishop Edwin F. Lee.
Enrolled in the school were two hundred and two persons, one hundred and seventy-seven of whom received credit cards. While there were fewer persons enrolled this year than last, the records show that there was a much higher percentage of the ministers who worked for credit this year. This indicates a growing interest in study achievements in the school.
The treasurer's report shows that the receipts for the expenses of the sthool this year amounted to $1050.00 from two sources: From the Commission on Courses of Study, $250.00 and from the Conference appropriations, $800.00. The total in expenditures was $652.83, leaving- a balance of $397.17.

Report of the Board of Managers of the Southern Christian Advocate to the Upper South Carolina Conference:
REPORT OF BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE SOUTHERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
The Southern Christian Advocate has had a good year. The circulation increased from 10,214 as of October 1, 1942, to 11,072 at the same elate of 1943. This increase parallels a similar increase of 1,000 in the preceding year, indicating a consistent growth in circulation in rctent years.
In addition to the Minutes of the two Conferences and the Minutes for the Woman's Society of Christian Service for the South Carolina Con f L·rence, the Advocate received contracts this year for publishing Minutes of the Woman's Society of Christian Servite both in the l!pper South Carolina Conference and in the Southeastern Jurisdiction, making a total of five sets of Minutes during the year. The aggregate job printing shows an increase over last year of $633.94. The:se figures do not take into account the publication of "Methodist Ministers in South Carolina," which involved $1,378.50 and showed a profit of $567.32.
Since the retirement of the debt on the Southern Christian Advocate we have been able to begin the accumulation of a reserve fund against the day wh~n the machinery in the printing plant will have to be replaced or rebuilt.
The board wishes to express its appreciation to our Bisho-p, our District Superintendents, our Preachers and local leaders for the very fine subscription campaign which began in February of this year. This campaign resulted in the largest paid up live subscription list within many years. During· this period five districts in the state went beyond their quota of subscriptions. Many others appr~ached their quota very closely. We believe that our people are _becommg more and more Advocate minded and that it is entirely possible, even probable, that with the cooperative effort whid1 has characterized the campaigns in the last two years, the circulation will reach this year the full quota for the two Conferences, approximately 12,500. We commend the custom of those pastors who work their subscription list so as to make them all expire in a single month, thereby finishing up at one time this phase of their ministerial activity.
We respectfully make the following requests: ( 1) That the customary campaign for subscriptions be b~gun as
early in February as possible and close as early as the c?nv_emence of our pastors will permit; and that every charge and district be e~couraged to reach the goal of circulation equal to 8% of membership based upon reports to this Conference.
(2) That the appropriation for the Advocate be not less than that
of 1942.

ANNUAL CONFERENCE, 1943
REPORT OF COMMliSSION ON EVANGELISM
65
The greatest cause of shame throughout our Church is the low number of accessions to the kingdom. In our own splendid Conference the rnntrast is too striking between the many financial successes and the ~mall number of conversions. Yet, today we have conditions which are highly conducive to real evangelism. There is the dark tragedy of ~in. at its worst, and there is such an emotional upheaval in human hearts everywhere. With the tremendous responsibilities and opportunitiL•s upon the Church in this hour in mind your Conference Commission on Evangelism makes the following recommendations:
1. That all of our churches join in the Crusade of our Bishops for a Kew \\. odd Order. Let use be made of the Crnsade schedule and materials to revive our people around the Day of Dedication and plunge on tu reach the unchurched of our land.
2. That we preach the cardinal doctrines of our faith, pressing for conviction of sin, and presenting; the glorious gospel of our living Christ the Saviour.
:3. That more of our regular morning church services be evangelistic, with the appeal made for Christian discipleship.
-L Tliat we use for the conversion of the lost: Our church schools, prayer meetings, and personal work on the part of the ministry and of the laity.
;j, That every church plan at least a ten-day revival meeting for the year. \Ve feel that a one-week meeting is usually a weak and worthless effort for a revival.
G. That hard work be done this year at the supreme task of evangelism. ;.\lay we take unto omselves the advice of Paul to Timothy when he said: ''But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full p1·oof of thy ministry."

During the past year we have run into a good many problems in connection with our work at Epworth Orphanage.
T~e most difficult of these problems has been the securing and k_eepmg of suitable workers. We suffered a distinct loss in the resignation of .:\Ii-s. A. G. Leverette, who rendered outstanding service for twenty-seven years, most of which time she served as head matron. Mrs._ L_e\'C!1·ette resigned because of dedining health . . Dise1plin€ among the recently admitted children has been more dif
fic_ult than usual, due in large measure to extreme neglect of these childr:n prior to admission. However: discipline among the older boys and girls has offered few problems.
Another serious problem which has confronted us has been an unusually large number of requests by relatives to have children released to them. In so many cases this request came not because the

70 MlINUTES OF THE UPPER SOUTH CAROLINA
Board is providing for us a great program of work and is furnishing us with a leadership that can not be excelled.
Laymen's Day, February 21st, this year was observed by a larger per cent of churches than ever before. Approximately eighty-five to ninety per cent of the cong-regations observed the day and used the programs recommended by our General Board. The theme was ":ilethodist Men in World Reconstruction," and in most instances the speak
ers were men of the local church or charge. Ern:ouraged by the effective service that we were able to render in
the observance of World Communion Sunday last year, we were happy in having the opportunity of cooperating in a similar effort on October 3rd of this year. As laymen, we feel there is an inestimable value in the church idea of World Communion Sunday, not only during- these trying days of the present, but the inspiration of such an occasion
should be continued on into the future. Your Board has been vitally interested during the year in the mat-
ter of World Service and Conference Benevolences in the various churches throughout the Confel'ence. We have cooperated in every way possible with the district superintendents and the preachers in charge to the end that we might have a one hundred per cent acceptance and .payment by all churches of the quotas asked of them. It is our conviction that World Service giving represents in a very definite way the life blood of the church. We would thoughtfully and prayerfully submit as a goal for minimum sacrifice the re-establishment of the old ideal for giving, "As much for others as for ourselves."
We wish now to call our laymen's ·attention in a special way to the churchwide Crusade for a New World Order, led by the Bishops of the Church, which will be in progress from January 2nd through the 30th.
We would respectfully suggest the following as goals to be attained
during the coming year: 1. That all lay leaders and official boards cooperate completely with
the pastors in forwarding the evangelistic cause of the church. We feel that we have the spiritual leadership and material equipment to perform the task that is before us. The supreme purpose of the church is to make Christ known to men everywhere and, failing· in that, it ceases to be anything other than a mere organization. We would,
therefore, rededicate ourselves to this cause. 2. Our church attendance is yet far from the standard that should
be attained. One of the manifestations of spiritual growth is the fact that our congregations enjoy the privilege of corporate worship. We trust that a greater proportion of the church membership will be found
in the sanctuary on the Lord's day. 3. We again urge a unanimous observance of Laymen's Day, Sun-
day, February 20th, 1944. Immediately following Laymen's Day and closely related to it will be the Week of Dedication, February 27th-
March 5th. 4. A sound financial system in the local church can not be over-
stressed. The generous giving on the part of our membership verr often depends on the methods employed by the board of stewards and the business-like approach that is made. Many churches yet are failing

to use the every member canvass! nor are our people regular and systematic in their giving. We believe that a marked improvement in this respect. can be had.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TEMPERANCE
We make the following recommendations: 1. With our nation engaged in a total war that calls for the highest
degree of industrial and military efficiency, we deplore the wastage and loss to our war effort resulting from the widespread use of alcoholic beverages by military personnel and by civilians in defense industries. We are opposed to the sale of beer in military encampments and of all intoxicating liquors near military posts.
2. We again enter our protest over the failure of the State Legisla-ture to repeal the liquor laws. We insist that the Legislature heed the mandate of the 1940 referendum and enact laws to suppress the traffic in alcoholic beverages. We urge Christian citizens to support worthy candidates for public office who are pledged to suppress the liquor
traffic. 3. We call attention to the laws of our Church forbidding the u~e
and sale of intoxicating liquors; and we urge all Methodists to abstam from the use and sale of such beverages.
4. We call attention to the legal responsibility of the State Depart-ment of Education and of all public school teachers and officials under the educational laws of our State for the effective teaching of tem-
perance in all public schools. . . 5. We endorse the effort being made by the South Carolma Council
on Alcohol Education to have a State Director of Narcotic Education to work in and through the public schools under the direction of the State Department of Education. We urge the State Legislature to ap-
propriate sufficient funds for this work. . 6. We recommend that Methodist people and churches coo,perate with
the South Carolina Council on Alcohol Education, The Federated Forces for Temperance, and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
in promoting temperance education. 7. We recognize the corrupting influence in state and nation of the
sale and reading of salacious literature. We urge Christian citizens to work for the suppression of this vile traffic. . .
8. We recognize the menace to public morals of the gambling spirit. Gambling is being carried on publicly in many places in the state. We urge the enforcement of laws against all forms of gambling.
9. We deplore recent legislation permitting commercialized amusements on the Lord's Day in communities where military posts are located. We urge Christian citizens to vigilance in protecting the sanc-
tity of the Sabbath. 10. Financial statement: Receipts this year $226.15, disbursements
$165.96, balance on hand $60.19.

3. The total budget, for World Service, General Administrative Fund and Conference Work, distl'ibuted by Districts, is as follows:
4. This represents a .pro rata basis of 56.433 per cent of the total budget for Conference Work and 43.567 for Wodd Service.
5. The apportionment for Bishop's Fund is an amount ~qual to 2¼
per cent of the pastor's salary. 6. The a,pportionment for Conference claimants is an amount equal
to 5 per cent of the pastor's salary. 7. We recommen<l the observance of Veteran's Day with a free will
offering in every church for our retired preachers, on the Sunday before Christmas, or as near thereto as practicable.
8. In order to equalize the load of world service and conference work apportionments to the ability of the charges to pay, enable the weaker charges to more adequately support their pastors and at the same time to enlarge our total support to Benevolences, we recommend:
( 1) That special offerings be kept to the minimum and that major emphasis be applied on tne acceptance and payment in full of World
Service and Cunf erence apportionments. (2) That World Service Sunday offerings be sent through the Dis-
trict Superintendents to the Conference Treasurer, and that such of
ferings may be applied on acceptances. (3) That the District Superintendent make the apportionments to
the Charges on dual bases-one computed on pastor's salary apportioned for last conference year, the other on membership reported to the last Annual Conference. Let the median of these two amounts be the
apportionment. ( 4) That before sending down the apportionments to the charges the
District Superintendent call in a committee of not less than six mem· bers, one half of whom shall be pastors, the other half an equal num· ber of laymen selected from the Board of District Stewards, whose business it shall be to make any further adjustment of apportionments that equity seems to demand. This is all to the end that each District may be led to accept and pay its full quota as thus ascertained.
9. The officers and members of the Commission on World Service and Finance will hold themselves in readiness to be of any possible assistance in working out these matters, if called upon to do so.
10. In keeping with Paragraph 839 of The Discipline your Commission is working out a plan for bonding the Conference Treasurer and the
several Conference Boards and agencies. 11. It has been brought to the attention of your Commission that
on the account of preachers who still have failed to pay their part

ROBERT CHESLEY BOULWARE
Robert Chesley Boulware was born six miles from Newberry Court House, March 13, 1866. God fearing parents, James Russell and Elizabeth Ann (Herbert) Boulware, gave to their children the supreme advantage of a home of piety and prayer. That home, together with the Old Field School not far away; the Prospe1·ity High School, the \\' offord College Fitting School, and Wofford College, where he received his A. B. degree in 1892, laid for him his educational foundation. His was the first class to go from the then newly established Fitting School
to Wofford College. He was first manied to Miss Lilly Hodge, who died during his col-
lege days in Hl00. His second maniage was to Miss Sue Watson, who survives him, with four sons: Richard P., of Newberry; Robert, C., Jr., of Waynesboro, N. C.; Rev. Charles Herbe1t, a member of the South Carolina Conference, and William S. Boulware, in the armed service of his country and now stat:oned at Fort Jackson. One sister, Mrs. Carrie Lee (Boulware) Waddell of Atlanta, Ga., widow of the late Rev. G. H. Waddell of the South Carolina Conference, also survives.
When nine years of age Brother Boulware was converted and joined New Chapel, the church of his forebears. The call to preach came to him in his early years, but he did not definitely yield until after his graduation at Wofford. In 1894 he sunendered to the call, and that year was admitted on trial into the South Carolina Conference. His record of service is as follows: Fort Mill 1895-96; Salters 1897-99; Langley 1900; Supernumerary HJOl; Cartersville 1902; Mt. Carmel 1903-06 ,· \Villiamston 1907-08 · Wag·ener UJ0H · Rido·eland 1 !JlU-11;

At the Conference held at this chun:h-Main Street, in 1931, he was (:!:ranted the Superannuate relation. l\'I.oving back to his old home near New-
berry he lived until his h'anslation. Brother Boulware died Friday, December 8, 1942, and was buried
Sunday afternoon in the graveyard of New Chapel, following the service in the church conducted by the writer and his pastor, Rev. W. M, Owings. A "good man and full of the Holy Ghost" has gone to his
reward. The major fact of this man, called of God to the holy work of the
ministry, was the man himself and his personal experience of Christ. God was his Father; Christ his Saviour; the Holy Spirit his Guide and

ANNUAL CONFERENCE, 1943 91
of Dr. G. H. Detwiler. However his educational advancement did not end here; he was a diligent and eager student of good literature, constantly seeking a deeper knowledge of the Word of God. He was converted and united with the church in young manhood. Early in life he felt the call to preach but did not yield, until at the age of thirty the tall came so urgently that he cried: "Woe is me if I preach not the Gospel." He was licensed to preach by the Spartanburg District Conference of 1908, and admitted on trial into the South Carnlina Conference in 1911. He supplied the Fort Motte charge in 1909; Kelton 1910; remaining here in 1911 after his admission. His subsequent appointments: Phoenix 1913-16; East Lancaster Hll7-18; Pendleton HH9-20; Pacolet 1921-22; Greenwood Circuit 1923; Clover 1924-25; Inman 1926-27; Enoree 1928-29; Buffalo 1930-31; South Easley HJ:32-34; Westminster 1935; Abbeville Circuit 1936-39; Phoenix 1940 until his death.
On December 25, 1898, Brother Manly was married to Miss Minnie Elizabeth Burton of Landrum. She with the following children surviv,~:,: Mrs. H. S. McClain, Mrs. J. P. Drennan, Marvin J., Wilbur E., Jesse H., Jr., Mrs. C. W. Cook and Dorothy Manly. All except Marvin, who lives in Kingsport, Tenn., make their home in Greenwood; also survi\'ing are seven grand-children.
While his major interest m life was the reaching and building of Christian character, Brother Manly was also a builder of the physical equipment of the parsonages in which he lived and the churches he served. The attractive church at Pacolet; the adequate church school rooms at Tabernacle on the East Lancaster charge and Rehoboth at Phoenix; the parsonag·e at Carlisle and improvements at all places are today witnesses of his zeal and labors. Following the trail of this itinerant minister one constantly hears how a Methodist ,preacher, named Manly, taught and improved on this and that in their community life. And yet his interest in these matters never overshadowed his l'eal ministry to the hearts of his people. He believed that God's good world could and would enrich all life and simply sought to thus teat11 and preach.
And he was a good preacher, original, with a 1·ich vocabulary of choice yet simple words, having digested the best in the select books that he read; his sermons often reached the heights of sheer eloquence. Earnest and diligent as a pastor and preacher, he was instrumental in leading many into a saving knowledge of the Christ and into growth in grace.
On Fl'iday afternoon, February 12, the funeral services were conduc:ted by the writer, Rev. F. C. Beach, Rev. L. W. Shealy, and Rev. ':· F. Hedgepath from the Rehoboth church, where a large congregation gathered to pay him tribute. His body was borne to the cemetery and lJlated beneath a soil he loved by his fellow ministers. His spirit is forever with the Lord, where he shall live always to behold the face of the Christ whom he loved and whom he served.

That spoke a heart entwined In strands of love for God and all mankind.
"He knew the humble walks of life, Between the high and low he trod;
His gentle eye bespoke not strife, His was a pure and blameless life,
He was a man of God." ED. R. MASON.
Horace Edward Gravely was born October 10, 1901, in Pickens county, the son of Mrs. Hannah McKinney Gravely and the late Alvin W. Gravely. He was the first chaplain entering the service from either of our conferences in South Carolina, or from any other de• nomination in our state, who has made the supreme sacrifice.
Brother Gravely attended the Pickens county schools, and entering Wofford College was graduated from that institution with the degree of A. B. in 1927, In the same year he was married to Miss Katherine Carter of Lockhart. Th1·ee children were born to this union-Horace, Jr., John and Martha. These with his widow survive him,
HORACE EDWARD GRAVELY
In November, 1928, he was admitted on trial into the Upper South Carolina Conference. His first appointment was Drayton-Beaumont in Spartanburg where he remained three years. He served Salem, 1932-34; Leesville Ct., 1935; Bethel, Rock Hill, 1936-37; Walhalla Ct., 1938-40. In November 1940 he was assigned to Belton, where he was in the second year of a most successful pastorate, when in March, 1912,
he entered the chaplaincy of America's armed forces. He was assigned for duty to Camp Robinson at Little Rock, Ark., and
remained there until December rn42, when he was ordered to the port of embarkation, from which he sailed the last of January for the European theatre of war. On Febrnary 7, 1943, the ship on whiC! he traveled was torpedoed in the North Atlantic just south of Iceland, Only a few of the passengers were rescued and the government re• ported that he was among those missing. After waiting over foUI months, hoping that he might have been resc:ued, on July 24th the ,yar
office reported officially to the family that he was lost. Horace Gravely was one of God's true noblemen. During the briel
span of his earthly ministry he wrought nobly and well. Surely he has heard from the lips of the Master the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." He was sue· cessful in every pastorate he served, but his last pastorate at Belton was remarkably so. His name and influence will abide there for man)"
years to come. When his country called for his services, laying aside his own per· sonal desires, he responded, feeling that God could and would use him in the camp among the boys more effectiv,ely than in the pastorate, From his letters written to me while he was at Camp Robinson, anl from the words of appreciation and praise expressed by his fellow chaP·

in 1911 into the South Carolina Conference. When the Conference was divided in 1914 he became a member of the Upper South Carolina Conference. He served the following appointments: Kinards, 1!) 11-14; Newberry Ct., 1915-18; Fort Mill, 1919-22; Green Street, Columbia, 1923-26; Johnston, 1927-30; ·Main Street, Abbeville, 1931-33; St. l'aul, Greenville, 1934-38; Broad Street, Clinton, 1939; Memorial, Greer,
1940 until his death. His service in the Conference was outstanding. For twenty years he
was a member of the Epworth Orphanage Board. As Secretary an<l Treasurer for some years of the Conf ere nee Board of Hospitals an<l Homes, he rendered a monumental service to the retired ministers of our Conference. Our Group Insurance as we have it today, is larg'ely the result of his guiding and earnest hand. As a Trustee of Lander College he was devoted to the interests of that institution and rendered
faithful service. In 1897 Brother Bouknight married Miss Mattie Buzhardt of .'.\ew-
berry, who survives with two sons, Chaplain William R. Bouknight, Jr., a member of the Upper South Carolina Conference, now in Army service and stationed in Kentucky, and Captain Alonzo Bouknight, USA; three daughters, Mrs. W. M. Howie and Mrs. H. 0. Derrick of Columbia, and Miss Martha Boukni~·ht of Newberry.
Those of us who came into the c:ircle of his acquaintance will not cease to thank God that we knew him and were drawn to him by the force of his Christian spirit and character. He sleeps in a Hero's grave in the Cemetery at Newberry while God's good angels keep their
loving vigil. B. RHETT TURNIPSEEU.
