I N T R O D U C E D — N . H . Graham, pastor of the Presby­terian Church in Blountville, Tenn., was introduced to the Conference.

SUPERANNUATE H O M E S — R . E. Greer read resolu-. tions, which were adopted as follows:

First: That the active niiniaiers of Holsion Conference ngree to pay into a common treasury, annual!)', .1 sum equal to three-fourths of one per cent of their salaries, or a delinitc amount to be agreed upon by the clerical membership of this body; which amount would be sufficient, if properly and wisely invested, to provide at least one home, free of debt, annually.

Second: That wi; set apart a special d.-tv e-ich i-e;ir througliout the Conference, as Superannuate Home Day thus giving the membership of our church an opportunity to make a free will offering to this cause. Fifty per cent of this otTcring is to go into the building fund, the other fifty per cent to be turned over to the Board of Finance, to be used, if needed, to pay the house rent of our superannuates—anv unused part of this fund to be turned back to the treasurer of the building fund at the close of each Conference year.

Third: That these homes when bought, built, or otherwise Secured are to become the property of Holston Conference Methodist Kpiscopal Church, South, and held in trust by a board of trustees.

In view of the fact that Holston Conference as a body, has made lutle or no effort in the past to provide suitable homes for superannuate preachers, their wives, and families; and since it is a fact that a great num­ber of our preachers when superannuated become ha]neles£; have we not come to the hour when something definite should be done to provide shelter for these ser\'ants of God, who have given their lives to the church, stood faithfully by the task, all the while conscious that their income was not sufficient to provide for the proverbial "rainy day."

After some serious thought on this matter, gathering what available information we could from other Conferences, the preachers of the Knox­ville District appointed a committee to prepare and bring before this body a suitable suggestion in the form of a resolution, looking to the completion of plans to provide for this long neglected need.

The committee met and, after careful study and thoughtful con­sideration of the successful methods used by other Conferences, recom­mended the foregoing resolutions.

Fourth That this Conference appoint a committee to take this matter under consideration, and make further recommendation to this body at our next .Annual Conference.

Reports BIBLK BOARD

We believe that the Bible meets a need in the life of man which no other book supplies. It is not a book for the churchman alone, or for anv class of men; it is n book for all men: It reveals to man the purpose of God in his life. It shows him that he is a moral agent. Tt shows him that he is responsible to God. It shows him his relation to the universe. Nations whose faith has been gauged by its teachings have reached the highest state of development socially, morally and materially.

When we enjoy Its teachings and profit by this knowledge it be­comes not only a duty but a desire to pass It on to others. It is a missionary book and creates a missionary spirit in the minds of those who read it. It is the oldest book that has come down to us through the years. It enjoys the widest circulation of any book In print,

Wc again express our faith In that great organization which has done so much to Incres.ise its circulation, the American Bible Society, and we recommend that wc continue to support it as In the past. Wc .TISO recommend that our preachers do their best to put the Bible In the homes of all the people, and urge them to read It.

and empowered to execute such contracts and conveyances as may be necessary to fully effect the purposes of this resolution.

IV.

The annual statement of the Publishing House, M . E . Church, South, to the Annual Conference, 1930:

"As required by the Diclpline of the Church, we submit for your consideration our annual statement for the fiscal year ending February 28, 1930. Wc have made still further improvements in our Sunday School literature without any increase in price.

'I'he Christum Aihocate continues to show a considerable loss to the House. The only remedy for this is in securing a larger increase in the number of subscribers. We have earnestly, and in many ways, tried to do this but hitherto have not succeeded.

The Cokesbury Press has issued many valuable books during the year bv authors of national and international reputation, which have met with a gratifying reception from the reading public. Your Publishing House now ranks among the leading publishers of religious and devotional books, not only in our own countrj', but In the world.

We have compared the prices at which books and Sunday School literature are sold by us with those charged by other houses, and we find that our prices are appreciably lower on almost every Item, We invite your investigation of the truth of this statement, which can be easily made by simply taking any book published by another house and com­paring it and its price with a similar book published by us. The total sales for the past year were $1,931,298.05, and the net profit on sales amounted to $150,361.53.

We express to our preachers and people our deep and sincere ap­preciation of their continued loyal support which has made possible the prosperity of the House and its present fine standing in the financial world. Reviewing the years work, the Book Committee has found itself justified in appropriating the sum of $100,000.00 for the benefit of the Claimants on the Conference funds. This is $40,000.00 increase over tht appropriation for the first year of the last quadrennium.

On September 1 I the joint-board of Commissioners of the Methodist Herald met in the Herald office, Jackson, Tcnn. Every phase of the Herald problem was discussed In a frank and serious fashion. The subscription list has been placed upon a strictly cash basis, which has somewhat reduced the number of subscribers from the original Con­ference union basis. After due and prayerful consideration of the whole matter the following suggestions were made, and this Committee recom­mends these .statements to our Conference:

Page 57:  · THE HOLSTON ANNUAL 1 9 3 0 ; OFFICIAL RECORD OF THK . Holston Annual Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, South . One Hundred and Seventh Session Held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn.

54 H O L S T O N A N N U A L

First; That a quota of at least one subscriber to every twenty mem­bers be fixed as the minimum for every local church.

Second; That the cause of the Methodist Herald be presented to c\ery District Stewards meeting by the Presiding Elder, or District Lay Leader, requesting that one month in the Conference year be designated as Herald month, and an earnest effort be made to increase its circulation.

Third; That a district correspondent be appointed in each district 10 report news items at least once a month, this reporter cooperating with the presiding elder and pastor.

Fourth: We suggest that due consideration to the Methodist Herald's interests be given at each District Conference In our entire territory. We further suggest that the chairman of each Conference Commission be used to present the Herald^s Interests at these district meetings, as far as practicable.

The joint-commissioners of this paper and your Holston Conference Board of Christian Literature well know that these resolutions mean little unless they are heeded, and our presiding elders, pastors and people go to work in a serious way to place this Conference organ in the homes of our people. Nothing but cooperation, earnest effort, and thorough­going work will do this job. Criticism falls flat when it comes from those who make no effort to support the paper.

We commend to our people the Christian Advocate, our general organ, the Missioftary Voice, and other periodicals of publications of our church. We would call special attention to our Department of Tracts. These tracts deal with doctrine, evangelism, stewardship and the policy of our church. During the last fiscal year of this department more than a half million tracts and leaflets were distributed. These tracts are sent free to our people. Testimonials from ieading pastors show that they are worth while, and that great good Is coming from their use. Sample copies and a list of all these tracts can be had by writing Rev, John Durrett, Supt. of Tract Department, Nashville, Tenn.

BOARD O F C H U R C H E X T E N S I O N

The askings from our Board this year were almost $15,000.00 while we had only $2,500.00 at our disposal. It seems that there has been a period of extravagance and unbusiness like financing of building enterprises in our Church. We, as well as the General Board, sound a warning note against large debts, especially such debts as may not be easily paid, should disaster overtake the congregation.

It seems to us that a larger per centage of church extension money should be used in starting new enterprises rather than in aiding well-established congregations in the erection of larger and more beautiful houses of worship. This is especially true in reference to the donation fimds of both the General and Conference Boards. The rapid growth of cities and the Increasing number of industrial plants within the South

BO.ARD O F F I N A N C E

Your board notes with pleasure the increase from our General Board, the check this year amounting to $4,616.11.

Your board wishes to emphasize anew the importance of the quarterly distribution of funds. Experience is that claimants fare much better to receive their allowance each quarter than to get it all in a lump-sum. The board is setting aside only $500.00 for reserve fund this year. We are asking for an assessment of $24,000.00 for the year 1930-31.

We note the growth of the Superannuate Endowment fund from lear to year. We arc happy to say that this year, notwithstanding the depression, our church has $184,684.62 to be distributed to the Superan­nuates of the different Conferences.

The Board of Finance is charged with the general directorship of the continued effort, and has power to project such plans as arc necessary to carry on. Therefore, we request the Bishop to appoint a? a general director of this Conference, J . N. Hillman, who has been directing this fund so successfully in the years in which he has been In charge.

We further request that the presiding elders in their districts Include in all their programs, set-up meetings. District Conferences, etc., and give a special place on this program to Dr. Hillman or his representative, that this worthy cause ma}- be brought before the people and laid on their hearts. Wc further request that the month of December, 1930, be set apart as a month in which to make special effort In every charge and in every church in Holston Conference to secure the unpaid pledges, or an amount equal thereto, if possible. We hereby distribute the amount in our hands to the following persons:

BOARD O F L A Y A C T I V I T I E S

R E P O R T No. I

The laymen of the church acknowledge keen disappointment In the accomplishment of the task set out for them by the church in the two quadrenniums of the existence of the Board of Lay Activities. There has been much to do and we have fallen short In much wc hoped to .accomplish. The laymen are happy to believe, however, that the church has highly honored them in the recent General Conference legislation, in the recognition given the work of this board In the additional re­sponsibilities and duties placed upon it. The prayer of the laymen of this Conference is that they may serve In a larger measure, during this quadrennium, in the work assigned them.

We, your conference Board of Lay Activities, beg to recommend therefore:

1st, that the principles of Christian stewardship be emphasized and the practice promoted through education of our people along this line during the coming year.

2nd, that the Commission on Benevolences make use of the Lay organization in the work of cultivation in the effort to raise all ap­portionments in full, and urge the presiding elders to capitalize the new plan of District Stewards meetings to be called at the beginning of the year.

3rd, that the circulation of the Methodist Layman be Increased materially in the bounds of the Conference during the year, and that the practice of sending it to the pastors and presiding elders of the Conference be continued.

4th, that "Layman's Day" be observed in every church where at all possible on or near the second Sunday in June.

Sth, that tlu; pastors of the Conference be requested to make reports for each church on the charge, as well as the charge as a whole, and that these reports be published in the Annual.

6th, that Dr. J . N. Hillman be elected Conference Lay Leader ard Prof. H . C. Ciraybeal Associate Conference Lay Leader.

7th, that wc ask for an apportionment of $2,000.00.

BOARD O F M I S S I O N S R E P O R T N O . 1

We your Board of Missions submit the following policy for Home Extension and the Rural Church:

I, Affecting the work of the .Annual Conference Committee on Cooperation:

1. That the suggestion be made to the Conference Board of Christian Education and the Conference Board of Missions that the Conference Committee on Cooperation be composed as far as possible of representative persons in the various lines of work in the Conference, and that, wherever fe.isible, representatives of the Bishop's Cabinet and other Boards and agencies be added as ex officio members without the responsibility of voting.

2. That the Conference Committee on Cooperation be asked to begin its work by facing frankly its opportunity to serve as a means through which the Conference Board of Missions and the Conference Board of Christian Education may work together in achieving the following goals:

(a) Re-establishing an effective program of church work in ter­ritory once occupied but now neglected by Methodism.

(b) Reaching unoccupied areas (new territory) with an effective Church program.

(c) Training Christian workers in rural and underpriviledged are.is,

I I , We suggest that the Conference Committee on Cooperation approach its task from the following points of view:

J . Aim or purpose of the Commission. A careful study of the linal aim of the Conference Board of Missions as related to mission work in the Conference and the aim of the Conference Board of Christian Education as related to its extension program will reveal the following identical aims of the two Boards:

(a) Organization of new Sunday Schools and Churches in fields that have never been occupied by our Church.

(b) Reviving Sunday Schools that have died within recent years. (c) Saving churches that are weak and liable to go out of existence. We recommend that In each of these measures there should be a

full cooperation between the two Boards considering that this Committee on Cooperation is the agency for working out such plans,

I I I . Agencies for accomplishing above aims. The following are some of the .igencies for accomplishing the liste:

1, A better trained and more adequately supported pastor; 2. Rural Church institutes; 3. Cokesbury Schools; 4. Pastors' Schools, Rural Pastors' Srhoois, and other special tvpes of training for pastoral leader­ship; 5, Surveys, including'such items as location of churches, potential financial strength, potential membership, over-lapping of parish bounds, re-location of churches, potential leadership, etc.

Page 65:  · THE HOLSTON ANNUAL 1 9 3 0 ; OFFICIAL RECORD OF THK . Holston Annual Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, South . One Hundred and Seventh Session Held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn.

62 H O L S T O N A N N U A L

We recommend that the Committee on Cooperation m mapping out its program for the ensuing year should take into account all these various possible agencies, and determine as far as possible the use of each.

IV'. Personnel. For L•a r •ing out its program the following people can be used:

1. Conference missionar}- secretaries; 2. Conference Extension scc-rc-larles; 3. President Conference Woman's Missionary Societies; 4. Ap­proved Cokcsbury instructors; 5. Certain specially trained people in our colleges who can give spare time, as in the summer, for helping in the rural work; 6. Other voluntary agencies as might present themselves from time to time.

V. Finances. The following sources should be taken into account in financing the total prc^ram for the Rural Church:

1. Fourth Sunday Offerings; 2. The missionary appropriations from the Conference Board of Missions,

We feel assured that if the two Boards should get together through the Joint Committee on a total program and should pool its finances for these purposes, and that, if the members of the Annual Conference are made to see that these two great Boards arc dcfinately working out the rural problem, the income from these two sources will be greatly increased, and far more wisely expended.

We recommend that this Committee meet in advance of the Annual Conference, so that its recommendations can be submitted to and ap­proved by the several Boards concerned at their Annual Conference sessions,

V I . That the Conference Committee on Cooperation undertake wherever feasible a fact-finding study of the rural churches throughout the Conference with a view of discovering and presenting to the proper authorities of the Conference definite information about such items as the following:

(a) The character and effectiveness of pastoral supply; (b) The character and effectivincss of the local church program; (c) The financial status of the people and their support of the church; (d) Tenantry and farm ownership; (c) Homogeneity of the population,

L , M. Thomas, Cltairman. M. .-\. Stevenson, Secretary.

R E P O R T No. 2

Your Board of Missions rejoices in the fact that this has been a good year in our Conference Missions. It has been a year of gracious revivals and of large numbers of additions to the church on profession of f.iith in Christ.

The funds administered by your Board of Missions have enabled us to give aid to sixtv-four mission charges, to Hiwassec College and to our Pastors' Schools at Emorv and Henry College. Some new missions need to be opened, but your Board thinks it unadvisabli at this time to ask for sufficient increase in funds to expand on a large scale.

Page 66:  · THE HOLSTON ANNUAL 1 9 3 0 ; OFFICIAL RECORD OF THK . Holston Annual Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, South . One Hundred and Seventh Session Held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn.

H O L S T O N A N N U A L 63

We commend the splendid work done at Hiwassec College and urge our people to patronize this very worthy institution whose work is now fully accredited and recognized by the various accrediting agencies of the land. We are glad to report that Hiwassee College made a material reduction in its Indebtedness the past year, and that the school opened this year with the largest attendance in its history. We have nominated Mr. f. M . Reedy president of Hiwassee College for the year 1930-31.

Wc have nominated Rev. J . A, Baylor Conference Missionary Sec­retary for the ensuing year.

We have nominated J . A. Baylor and M . A. Stevenson for members Board of Managers P.istors' School.

Missions and evangelism are Inseparable. Methodism without cither is unthinkable. We are urging our pastors to give serious consider.ition to revivals and to the deepening of the spiritual life of our people. We have elected as our committee on Evangelism M . A. Stevenson, J . W. L.intz and D . S. Dosser. We recommend the appointment of Conference Evangelists Carl Thomas, W. E . Browning, J . M . Crowe, and urge our p.nstors to give them employment in revival work where it is possible to use them.

The Mid-Year Meeting of the Board of Missions and Presiding Elders will be held in our Anderson Street Church, Bristol, at a date to be fixed by the Executive Committee of the Board of Missions.

For the ensuing ye.ir we have made the following special appropria­tions:

President of Hiwassee College $2,000.00 Professor of Hiwassee College . 500.00 Expenses of the Board - . . 500.00 Pastors' School _ 500.00 Emergency Fund „ 500.00 Conference Com. on Benevolence 14-5.00 Hiwassee College. N. B. 1,500.00

This year 1930 marks the end of a quadrennium in which an annual freewill offering for missions in every charge, preceded by a

Page 68:  · THE HOLSTON ANNUAL 1 9 3 0 ; OFFICIAL RECORD OF THK . Holston Annual Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, South . One Hundred and Seventh Session Held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn.

H O L S T O N A N N U A L 65

pt.riud of intensive cultivation, was for the first time made a part of our missionary- policy by General Conference action. The results have abundantly demonstrated the wisdom of this forward step. Our Church has been able to carrv on without disastrous and destructive retrench­ment, our Board has been able to pay off the debt with which the quadrcnnium began, and to avoid contracting debt, even in the midst of severe and world-wide financial depression. The free-will offering has brought to the missionary treasury including the present years receipts, the sum of approximately $2,500,000. More important even than the contribution of money, has been the effects produced in the lives of our people by this trta] of voluntary giving in response to intelligent appeal. Missionary education has been greatly extended during the quadrcnnium without doubt. Missionary conviction has been strengthened. The new plan of financing, worked out by the last General Conference, gives high endorsement to this policy, carrying forward into the new plan both the cultivation and voluntary giving features.

The goal set for the free-will offering to missions in Holston Conference during the past year was, as in former years, $50,000. Your Conference Secretary was assisted in the January Missionary Institutes bv Dr. Frank S. Onderdonk, representing the General Board, | . E . Wolfe chairman of the Conference Board, and H . B. Brown, Sunday School Extension Secretary. The largest attendance and most lively interest of the entire quadrennium on the part of both preachers and laymen marked the Institutes this year. Presiding elders and pastors have been faithful and earnest in their cooperation. About 7,500 copies of the study book, "The Church and the World Parish," were sold. Your Secretary has signed a large number of credit cards for persons taking credits in the schools conducted by the pastors. In the Institutes it was emphasized that the regular assessments and the maintenance fund ^re equally important, and both absolutely nccesiiary to maintain our missionary work.

• Despite the increased interest shown during the cultivation period and the faithful efforts of the preachers, the unusual depression of the past year has affected collections. Especially is this true in the cases of churches caught heavily burdened with debts contracted in building. Struggling with the pressing local problems, some have apparently turned a deaf car to calls from outside. This is tragic in its effect upon our work, and not less tragic in its effect upon the spiritual life of the cliurches themselves. A new vision of our Lord, and the Pentecostal power of the Holy Spirit would lift our people out of selfishness, fear, and discouragement, and call forth sacrificial giving which would sur­mount these difficulties. Nothing but a revival of spiritual life will cure our ills. Depending upon any remedy less than this, is to "heal the liurt slightly," and to "build with unlempered mortar." When our spiritual life is full and vigorous the missionary appeal Is heard clearly and becomes imperative.

I present herewith the final figures for Benevolences and Missionary Maintenance for the Conference by Districts:

Wirh this Conference session the new plan goes into effect. The money to be raised hereafter bv xoluntart- offering is to be called the \'o]untary Kingdom Extension Offering. The cultivation which hitherto h.is been confined to missions, will now cover practically the whole field of benevolences. The Kingdom Extension Offering will be shared by the Board of Missions, the Board of Christian Education, Board of Church Extension, and Hospital Board. .As during the past quadrennium the cultivation period will begin with the Missionary Institute in each presiding cider's district, when the new plan will be fully explained, free literature be made available, and orders taken for the new studv book, which as heretofore will be sold at nominal price.

The Conference Commi eion on Bene 'olences has accented for the Conference the sum of $44,000.00 as Holston's share of the Kingdom Extension Offering, and have apportioned the same to the districts as follows:

BOARD O F T E M P E R A N C E AND S O C I A L S E R V I C E

1. We, your Board of Temperance and Social Service, recommend that we carefully and prayerfully contemplate the whole field of temper­ance and social service as It relates to the church at large, to the world, and to the territory within our own Holston Conference.

2. That we contempl;.te temperance in the fullness of its scope as taught bv the holv Word of God, and as it affects our thoughts, our words, the gospel we preach, and our whole being, together with the social order at home and abroad.

3. That we remember that in our past reports we have emphasized temperance In its relation to the manufacture and sale of liquor, and have, perhaps, sometimes failed to emphasize temperance as It relates to our words, to our thoughts, and to our very lives. Many sins are digging at the very foundation of religion: the overwhelming desecra­tion of the Sabbath; the disregard of the sacredness of marriage vows; the laxity of sex questions; the falling off In the number of family .-ilt.nrs; communism and olher Isms; the growing Inclination toward gambling, not onlv In the world of sports, but .ilso in social and business relations. In order to safeguard our Christianity, these evils must be condemned by pulpit and pew, and our people impressed with the truth that what God has made immoral man cannot, by legislation, or custom, make moral. Let us know that all these arc contrary to the teachings of the lowly Nazarene.

4. We reaffirm and declare our unwavering conviction that the manufacture, sale, purchase and use of intoxicating liquors, for beverage purpose, Is inconsistent with the teachings of Christ, the policy of our church and destructive to spiritual life; wc pledge ourselves to continue the fight against this evtl, in the home, the pulpit and In our public and pri-v.".tc life,by example and precept, until ris influence and power is destroyed.

5. In view of the fact that social service work as undertaken by the church is yet in its infancy, and that our greatest opportunity lies in the teaching, influencing and leading of our young people, wc recom­mend that a special effort be made by our preachers and religious leaders to so direct the thought and social activities of our young people that the principles and teachings of Jesus Christ may be inculcated into their every relationship, and expressed in right living.

A. Wc further recommend that the task of Improving social con­ditions by means of the teaching and Influence of the Church in the community be approached with a spirit of sympathy and understanding,

to the end that our charities may be so dispensed as to contribute to the spiritual as well as the physical needs of those served, thereby promoting such a brotherhood as will render Impossible misunderstanding and strife between capital and labor. We believe in the power of the gospel which we preach, and recommend it in its purity for the salvation of all men, making them temperate in all things.

First amendment: "We deplore deeply the increase of mob violence during the present year, as evidenced by the lynching of 21 persons, which is the largest number in any year since 1920, We pledge ourselves to do all things possible to put an end to this spirit of lawless­ness, and will urge our people to do likewise."

Second amendment: "In view of the determined effort that is now being made to destroy respect for the 18th Amendment, to break down the laws made for its enforcement, and to bring about its repeal, we reaffirm our support of the 18th .Amendment, and urge the im­portance of supporting only such candidates for office as are pledged to its faithful enforcement."

The Annual Conference Commission on Benevolences begs leave to report its organization and action as follows: Chairman ex-officio, Bishop Horace M . Du Bosc; Vice-Chairman, Dr. J . N, Hillman; Secretary, and Treasurer, Prof. H . C. Graybeal,

Dr. O. C . Goddard appeared before the Commission as the repre­sentative of the General Conference Commission on Benc\'olenccs and reported its recent organization at Nashville, Tennessee, and brought communications from that body. He read the recent action of the General Conference constituting the .Annual Conference Commission on Benevolences as follows: chairman, the presiding bishop, the presiding elders, the chairman of the various Conference Boards, and the district lay leaden. This Commission, under the law, is to cooperate with the General Conference Commission on Benevolences and to promote in the Annual Conference the full program of cultivation for the General ;'nd .Annual Conference benevolences and for the Voluntary Kingdom Extension Offering, as authorized by the Genera] Conference at Dallas. The General Conference has thus constituted the General Commission on Benevolences and the Annual Conference Commission on Benevolences

as the regular agijncius during ihc coining quadrcnnium for the cultiva­tion of the Church with reference to Its whole benevolent program, and iias charged these agencies with the primary responsibility of securing the regular Hcnevolenccs and the \'oluntary Kingdom Extension Offering.

In view of this legislation of the General Conference, and the responsibility thereby conferred upon us, the members of the Holston Annual Conference Commission on Benevolences pledge their cooperation with the General Conference Commission on Benevolences in its effort to carry out the financial policy established by the recent General Conference.

(a) We hail the purpose of the General Conference, and the or­ganized effort pursuant thereto, and of the General Commission on Benevolences, to stabilize the benevolent dollar in Methodist circles. We join with them in passionate hope and Christ-like purpose to redeem this benevolent dollar until it is worth one hundred cents.

(b) We pledge our efforts, and venture to pledge the cooperation of our Annual Conference, in carrying out the wise and comprehensive cultural program inaugurated by the General Conference Commission in response to the instructions of the General Conference. We suggest, as requested by the General Commission, the months of January and February for the particularly intensive period of cultivation.

(c) We recommend that you authori/,e the presiding elders to distribute the Holston Conference allotment out of the V'oluntarj.- King­dom Extension Offering among the various districts on the principle of their ability and willingness to pay. This allotment is $44,000.00.

Wc believe that the instruction of the General Conference and the program of the General Commission on Benevolences to use the existing agencies of the Church and lo utilize the vjirious meetings and Conferences of the Church as already constituted in a broad. Conference-wide pro­gram of cultivation will so unify our forces and so inspire our people that the Holston Conference will begin at once to resume i:s place of accus­tomed leadership among the foremost Conferences of Sou;hern Methodism.

.Although the Epworth league Board, as such, ceases to function with this Annual Conference, the new legislation places the Epworth League on a plane of equality with the other great educational agencies of the church, under the direction of the new Board of Christian l'"du-craion. Thus, the new law provides for, not only conservation of the \alues of the Epworth League, but the continuation of the program In the General and Conference organization, and in the local church. Paragraph 469, page 2 2 0 , of the Dlcipline says: "Each Department of the Young People's Division shall carry on its work through two organizations— namely, the Sunday School and the Epworth League." It provides further that "The General Board of Christian Education is specifically

Page 77:  · THE HOLSTON ANNUAL 1 9 3 0 ; OFFICIAL RECORD OF THK . Holston Annual Conference Methodist Episcopal Church, South . One Hundred and Seventh Session Held at Bristol, Va.-Tenn.

charged to keep Inviolate the initiative and autonomy of the Epworth Leagues as organization operating within the Young People's Divisions."

A steady growth and development has marked the Epworth League work throughout the Conference during the past year. We now have on record 256 Senior Leagues and 64 H i Leagues, making a total of 320 chapters. Under the new plan, the Epworth Juniors Societies arc being placed under the direction of the Woman's Missionary Society. There are 25 active Epworth League Unions, 23 Senior and 2 Hi Leagues. During the year thirteen Senior Institutes and two Hi League Institutes have been held in the Senior and Hi League Unions respect­ively. Anniversary Day was observed, and the Leagues pledged and paid to Missions during the year $2,500.00. A free-will missionary offering brought the Holston Mission Special Fund to a total of $1,000.00. This fund is being employed, temporarily, as a Loan Fund for Holston volunteers at Hiwassee College, until one of our volunteers shall be placed in the foreign field by our General Mission Board.

This year marked the tenth anniversary of the Senior Epworth League Assembly at Martha Washington College, .'\bingdon, Va., and was, without question, the best in the history of the Conference. In addition two Hi League camps were held for the early 'teen age boys and girls near Bristol, Va.-Tenn., and near Cleveland, Tennessee.

At the time the summer .Assembly met in June, the General Con­ference legislation, affecting the League work, was new, and the new Conference Board of Christian Education had not been created. Hence the League Conference, desiring that there should be no slacking of effort in the young people's work, adopted a policy and budget for the League year, as in the past, pending the approval of the new Board. Hence the work of the Conference, District, Union and local Chapters has gone steadily forward during the summer months.

As the members of the present League Board retire, wc do so with faith in the young people's program and nrusting that their work will suffer no ill effects during this period of transition and adjustment, but that the League will go forward with an ever larger and better program than in the past. Quoting from Bishop Paul B. Kern, who, for twenty years, served on the General Epworth League Board: "A live movement is always responsive to changing life, and now we face a new era in young people's work in Southern Methodism. The Leaguers h.ivc nothing to fear and can enter into the new day with confidence and enthusiasm. The plans of the Board of Christian Education are being worked out with great care, so that all the old values may be carried over into the new plan. It will probably be twelve months before the new programs will affect the organizations within the local church. Wc shall burn no bridges behind us until wc have perfectly good bridges ahead of us to carry the traffic. Hence let no one get nervous or hasty. Stay with your League program as it now is until information comes down to you regarding the new program."

And we believe, with him, further that "the Leaguers of Southern Methodism will be lo^al to the church and will meet with enthusLism

Your Hospital Board reports the following facts: There arc twelve .Southern Methodist hospitals, counting the Hugh

Chatham Memorial Hospital, now being projected at Elkln, North Carolina. Our hospitals have about 1800 beds and treat 3,200 patients annually. The Southern Methodist Hospitals during 1929 gave $475,000.00 of free service to men, women and children unable to pay the regular fees. These hospitals have eleven nurses training schools, and arc training over 700 young women for the ministry of healing. Our hospitals are worth upward of $1 5,000,000.00. The Golden Cross last year raised on the enrollment around $90,000.00. Our Conference raised during the past year $766.00. On March 3rd the first patient was admitted to the Methodist Hospital at Fort Worth, Tex.is. This hospital is ten stories high, and has 200 beds. When completed, it will have a capacity of 405 beds. The new Duke Hospital and Medical College opened in July. This plant cost $4,000,000.00 and has an endowment of $6,000,000.00. The new building at Barnes Hospital is costing around $500,000.00 and will have an endowment of $450,000.00.

We would call attention to the following legislation bv the General Conference: Each Annual Conference shall elect a Conference Director of the Golden Cross, who shall serve without salarv. Each District Conference shall elect a District Director, who shall be a member of the District Conference. Each charge shall elect a charge Director, who shall be a member of the Quarterly Conference. Each church shall

•elect a church Director. It shall be the duty of the District Conference to inquire into the work of the Golden Cross within Its bounds.

We ask for the same appropriation as last year, $1 50.00, for the expenses of the board. The Board nominates J . C . Spurlin for Confer­ence Director. The new board has met and organized, electing R. Lake Wright, President, and J . N. Smith, Secretary and Treasurer.

S P I R I T U A L S T A T E O F T H E C H U R C H

The message on the spiritual state of the church, delivered to, and adopted by our late General Conference, is a timely and remarkable pronouncement. Certainly It shoiild be read and studied by every Southern Methodist. It Is a clarion call to the ministry and laity alike to arouse and shake ourselves from the lethargy that threatens us with spiritual disaster. The one thing that gave Methodism her rapid growth, that made her Influence more cumulative, and her success more con-spicious than any other denomination was her evangelistic spirit. I f she loses her evangelistic note and fervor, she will lose her place in the Kingdom. Soul-saving is the chief business of a Methodist preacher. The truth is, this should be his only business. Evcr>' ambition must be swallowed In the one ambition of getting men to God. Whenever a Methodist preacher deliberately chtx)ses to maintain a tepid attitude toward the lost about him, he must forever say goodbye to spiritual greatness.

.•\s a church we have entered upon a new era of history. As min­isters we find ourselves confronted not only with new and difficult problems, but it seems thai we have brought all the sins of the past year to add to our present problems. There never was more crime in our nation—perhaps in the history of the world. Sabbath desecration has reached alarming proportions. Immodest dress in public places is being condemned, not only by the church press, but by the secular papers, v/oman's clubs and cartoonisls. The dance and card craze, the public swimming places where men and women mix indiscriminately, con­stitute a real menace that is breaking ihc hcar'.s of manv godlv pastors as they realize that in proportion as members of the church give hospitality

la these things do they lose interest in things spiritu;il. As the church Is looking forward to the celebration of the nineteen hundredth anni­versary of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit came into the world to convert sinners and to enrich regenerated hearts, your committee believe our supreme need as a Church is a baptism of the Holy Ghost that shall light a flame of radiant power upon every altar and in every heart and home in Methodism.

According to the report of the presiding elders there have been some good revivals, and it seems that wc w i l l have a net gain in membership, for which we arc devoutly thankful to Almighty God. O that God would give us a gracious anointing at this present Conference that would enable us to go to our appointments and preach Christ In such a fashion as to hasten the coming of Pentecost, for which many of us arc looking.

SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD

.\t Its meeting last year the Sunday School Board, faced with a depleted treasury, and knowing that it was most likely to end its ex­istence with the end of the year, trimmed its program as close as was conslstant wlrh the great work to be done, to maintain the standards of service called for in Hohton. After doing this wc have carried on through the year with the high purpose of closing out the work in the best possible way, and vvilh the smallest possible deficit.

The program of evangelism was pressed at its time, wi th f ine results in many charges. The Leadership Training work has been carried on with unabated devotion and Interest. Programs of Work have been placed in all the schools that could be reached. County Conferences were held in twelve counties, and organizations perfected for next year. Plans for extension of adult work have been carefully laid. Eighteen new schools have been organized, some of which give great promise of l i f e and growth. Constant emphasis has been placed on the observance of Missionary Day. Eight Standard Training Schools, eighteen Cokcsbury Schools, and the Pastors' School at Emorv make a total of twentv-sevcn Training Schools for the year. Credits, I 566; diplomas, 20; blue seals, 9; gold seals I I ; Cokesburv credits 208, making a grand total of 1,814 credits,

Rev S, S, Bover. Conference Superintendent, Rev. H . B. Brown, Rural Extension Secretary, and Mrs, J, H .

TRUSTEES O F L A K E J U N A L U S K A

In view of the tremendous educational, inspirational, recreational and religious opportunities offered by the Lake Junaluska Methodist Assembly, which is easily accessible f rom every part of our territory, we would urge a larger attendance of our people from the Holston Conference.

Wc urge that the report of the Trustees of Lake Junalusk.i be printed in our next Annual, and that the presiding ciders allow the advantages of our Assembly grounds to be presented at the forthcoming District Conference.

Frank Jackson Sullins Stuart W. E. Brock M . A . Stevenson Lynn Sheely Ernest Henson

M E T H O D I S T ASSEMBLY

Pursuant to the Invitation of the stockholders of the Southern .Assembly fourteen Annual Conferences elected Trustees to receive the deed to the Southern Assembly and to assume the management of the same. The first meeting of the Board of Trustees was held at Lake Junaluska December 3rd, 1929. Officers were elected, the deed to the property of the Southern .Assembly was accepted, and the Trustees voted to secure incorporation under the name "Lake Junaluska Methodist .Assembly."

For your Information we are attaching to this report a booklet, ^^The Lake Junaluska Methodist Assembly" in which vou w i l l find a hiftorical statement, the plan by which the Trustees accepted the deed and assumed management of the institution (including a copy of the deed), a statement of the financial condition, and the names of the officers and trustees. Since this booklet was printed the Florida Con­ference has elected as Trustees Rev. E. Watt Smith, Bartow, Fla., and M r . J. T . Geaster, Miami, Fla.

At the request of certain friends of the Lake Junaluska and Western Methodist Assembly, a Committee on Assemblies was appointed at the recent session of the General Conference in Dallas, Texas. Af ter re­viewing the work of the two in^titutions, the Committee reommended, nnd the General Conference adopted the following:

"RESOLVED, That the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, recognizes the splendid spiritual and educa­tional work that is being done at Lake Junaluska and the Western As­sembly, and we commend them and their work to the patronage o f the people J and in furtherance of these assemblies and their meritorious .Tctivities, the Committee on Budget is directed to provide a reasonably adequate amount in the general budget to take care of pressing need; provided, however, that any Annual Conference shall have the right to decline to accept its pro rata of such asking or assessment or any part thereof; provided further that all contributions and responses from east

H O L S T O N A N N U A L . » 3

of the Mississippi River shall be for the Lake Junaluska Assembly and remitted accordingly; and all such contributions and responses from Conferences west of the Mississippi River shall be for the Western Methodist Assembly and accordingly remitted."

The Commission on Budget recommended, and the General Con­ference approved, total askings of $40,000.00 for the two institutions under the above conditions.

The asking for the Holston Conference for Assemblies, which w i l l go to the Lake Junaluska Methodist Assembly is $1,479.00

Your Superintendent is happy to report that f rom the standpoint of attendance and program the 1930 session was an improvement over 1929. A complete list o f conferences, schools and camps held in 1930 may be found on the back inside cover page of the booklet referred to above.

While it is impossible for us to give the exact number of persons who entered the grounds, yet a conservative estimate would be fifteen thousand who were here for the various addresses, conferences and schools. During the Spiritual L i f e Conference addresses and sermons were de­livered by the outstanding leaders of America, such as Dr . Chas. E. Jefferson, Dr. J. R. Sizoo, Dr. M . E. Dodd, Bishop W . N . Ainsworth, Bishop U . V. W . Darlington, Dr. F. S. Hickman, Dr. Elbert Russell, Dr. Bob Jones, Dr. J. Lloyd Dccell, and others. In all probability another Spiritual Conference w i l l be held during the 1931 session.

The present total indebtedness, not including outstanding stock, is in round numbers $280,000.00. This consists o f the fol lowing:

Bonded Indebtedness - $105,000.00 Accounts Payable 9,144.17 Notes Payable . - 165,417.27

Our income for the 1930 season was derived mainlv from the following sources:

Ground Tickets $10,201.77 Concessions 3,971.89 Church Collections - - 815.20 Donations—Cash and Stock 3,314.23 Ut i l i t y Taxes 1,331.01 Fishing Permits 755.50

The total income from all sources for the period January 1, to August 31, 1930, was $28,560.45. The total expense, not including interest, taxes and depreciation was $25,673.68, leaving a net profit from operations of $2,886.77.

Bishop Ainsworth upon the invitation of the Trustees, agreed to cooperate with the Executive Committee in soliciting gifts f rom a select group of men and women. We now have a representative visiting the larger centers in North Carolina. I t is imperative that we raise $60,000.00 u i ih in the next few months, and this amount w i l l give us relief for a period of at least twelve months.

Quadrennial Board of Standing Committees of seven members (four laymen and three preachers) on the Lake Junaluska Methodist Assembly, to which Committee or Board shall be referred the report of the Trustees; and the Committee shall make recommendations to the Annual Conference including the nomination of Trustees.

2. Election of Trustees^ At the last session of your Conference Dr. J . A. Baylor was elected a trustee to serve one year and M r . Fred A. Carter was elected to serve for two years, and you provided that as their terms expire one trustee be elected for a term of two years at each session of your Conference hereafter. I t is, therefore, incumbent upon you to provide for the election o f the trustees at this session o f your Conference.

3. Publicity. At the meeting of Trustees August I I , 1930, the following was adopted.

"By our entire body it seems to be agreed that Junaluska needs more publicity. More people would come on the grounds i f they knew all that Junaluska has to offer . Therefore, at each Annual Conference cast of the Mississippi River, such a presentation of the claims of the Assembly should be made as wi l l more effectively advertise its merits and advantages."

Memoirs

S. A. M c G H E E '

Silas Andrew McGher: was born near Canton, Haywood County, North Carolina, February 12, 1878, and died in the parsonage at Penn­ington Gap, Virginia, 6:00 A, M . , October 14, 1929. He was the son of Gecorge Ira and Sallie Mosscr McGhee, being second of thirteen children. His father was a farmer, and the boyhood of Brother McGhee was like that of the average country boy. He was of Methodist stock, his parents being devout Christians and members of the Methodist Church. Throughout his boyhood and youth he was surrounded by religious influences. At the early age of fourteen he was happily converted and joined the Methodist Church at Canton, N , C. His education was ac-tjuired in the public schools of H.iywood Co,, N . C , and Waynesvllle .Academy, and was enhanced by diligent study and much reading.

Soon after his conversion he felt the call to preach, which, to him, was imperative. He never doubted or i^ucstioned his glorious conversion or his divine call to preach the gospel. Both were as real to him as his own existence. He was licensed to preach December 16, 1899, and served as a missionary to the Cherokee Indians for two years. Af ter this he united with the United Brethren Church and served Otterbein Church in Greene Co., Tenn., for four years. His pastorate there was very f r u i t f u l ; many were added to the church, and a new church was built. His reason for joining the V. B. Church was that the Western N , C. Conference was crowded and the presiding elder was unable to give him supply work. He was admitted into the traveling connection of the Holston Conference at Chattanooga, Tenn., October 1920.

He was married to Miss Sarah Henry, of Newport, 'I'enn,, July 21, 1904. T o this union were born two sons, Dwight Haddon and Grant Oliver. Both of these sons were educated at Emory and Henry College, Dwight H . is now a supply preacher in the Holston Conference, having been licensed to preach a week before this session met. Grant O. is teaching his first school near Roanoke, Va. No father was ever more devoted to fiis sons and made greater sacrifices for their moral, religious and intellectual development, and no father was ever blessed with two finer sons.

Brother McGhee served the following charges: Hawkins Circuit three years; Louisville Circuit three years; Ducktown Circuit one year; Fall Branch Circuit one year; Elizabethton one year; Bulls Gap Circuit three years; East Park two years; district evangelist one year; B l u f f City Circuit one year; Broadford Circuit one year; and Pennington Gap two years, and returned for the third. Wherever he labored success attended his efforts; under his ministry people were converted and added to the Church, and believers were built up in the holy fai th, .ind ]cd Into a l i f e of Christian service. A l l the interests of the Church were dear to him and were conscientiously cared for. Besides his ministry in spiritual

86 H O L S T O N A N N U A L

things, he built churches and parsonages, paid o f f old debts and de­veloped the material interests of the church. He served on some of the various Conference boards and committees. Whatever he did was well done, and the service rendered was wi l l ing and sincere.

He realized his inadequate preparation for his high calling and tried to overcome this lack by diligent study, buying the latest and best books. He accumulated a valuable library and stored his mind with the con­tents uf choice and standard books; but first of all, he was a devoted student of the Bible. I t was the teaching of the inspired Word that he preached to others and practiced in his own l i f e . His faith in God and the integrity of the Holy Scriptures was the chief secret of his f r u i t f u l ministry.

He was possessed of common sense and splendid business ability, and knew how to pay church debts. Wi th him however the preaching of the gospel and the saving of souls were the paramount issues; during his ministry over two thousand souls were led to Christ and added to the Church. He was a good preacher and especially gifted as a revivalist. He was a man of one work. His ministry was the absorbing interest of his l i f e . He knew nothing else lhan to preach the gospel of re­demption and to give himself with his whole heart and with great zeal to his l i fe work. The people everywhere he served recognized him as a preacher of good ability, and his preaching was always most acceptable to them. He loved the doctrines and standards of the Church and upheld the faith with positive loyality. He was never happier than when de-lending the truth of the gospel.

T o Brother McGhee Methodism was an agent of the Lord in directing his work. He loved her doctrines, he magnified in his personal living her lofty standards of positive holiness, he was the heart of loyalty to her methods of procedure, and rejoiced in her as the highest and best expression of Apostolic Christianity. He was a true friend, a kind husband, a loving father and a loyal citizen.

Brother McGhee attended the session of the Conference in Chat­tanooga, October, 1929, and was entertained in the home of the writer of this sketch with his dear friend Hale S. Hamilton. I don't think 1 ever saw him so hopeful and f u l l of zeal for the Lord's work. He never tired talking about his people at Pennington Gap, and his new church, which he enterprised and which was near completion. He returned home from Conference on Monday and complained of being sick, but did not take his bed until Wednesday. He continued to grow worse all the while, and passed to his reward Sunday morning October 14, His suffering was great but he bore it with patience and Christian fortitude.

The good people at Pennington Gap loved Bro. McGhee and esteemed him highly for his work. They met all the funeral expenses ;'nd showed every possible kindness to the family. The funeral ser/Icc was conducted in our Church at Pennington Gap, Va., Oct. 16, by his presiding elder, P. L . Cobb, assisted by the writer and the pastor of the Baptist Church. His remains were Interred at Emory, Va. to

await the resurrection morning. His good wife who stood by him so fa i th fu l ly in the work, and his two suns, have the sympathy and prayers of the Church.

While writing this sketch 1 received a special delivery f rom his son Dwight, a law student at Cumberland University, saying: " I have been called of God to preach his word, it has been on my mind day and night, so I am going to an.swer the call."

Newton F. Walker, was born in Hawkins county, Tenn., June 21 1868, and died in Wyndale, Va., Oct. 25,1929. During the session of the Holston Conference, held at Knoxville, Tenn., in 19U8 he was received on trial into the itinerant ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, coming to us f rom the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. His appointments were as follows: Embreeviile, 1908-9-lOi Fall Branch, 1911-12-13-14; Johnson City Circuit, 1915-16-17; Limestone Circuit, 1918-19-20; Parrottsville, 1921; Bristol Circuit, 1922-23-24; South Bristol, 1925; Fall Branch Circuit, 1926-27. In 1927 his health failed, and at the session of the Holston Conference held in Princeton, W . Va,, he was placed on the superannuate list; he held this honorable relation until he went home.

He was married to Miss Mary Magdaline Saylor, Feb. 17, 1889. T u this union were boin four children, three of whom survive; Walter M . Walker, of Tel ford , Tenn.; Mrs. O. J. Carter, of Bristol, Tenn.; Mrs. E. Roy Smith, of Newport, Tenn. One sister, Mrs. J, M . Evans, cf Lenoir, Tenn., and three brothers: Rev. K. E. Walker, of Greeneville, Tenn,; C, D . Walker, of G r i f f i n , Ga., and R. B. Walker, of Washington.

Brother Walker's second wife was Miss Susie Gentry, of Wyndale, \'a. His second marriage was .August 26, 1926, During his long sickness he had all the loving attention that loving hands could give. We know Brother Walker was a good man and true in every sense of the word. He was true to his God, his Church, his Conference, his friends and his lodges.

The funeral services were conducted by his pastor and Rev. I . P. Martin, D, D., assisted by Rev. Thompson. His body was laid to rest b}- the side of his sainted wife in Johnson City cemetery. The Masons had charge of the services at the grave. 'I'he floral tributes were many and beautiful, contributed by his many friends. ' I t can be truly said of him that he was loved by all who knew him.

-Alfred Hamilton Towe was born in Carroll County, Va., June 19, 1862. When a boy of six years, his father and mother moved to Russell County, Va., where he grew up, attending the public schools.

For four years he was a student in Temple H i l l Academy, of wide repu­tation for its scholarship and thoroughness of work done. He then taught school for four years.

On September 3, 1883, he was married to Miss Florence Jane Potter, v/ho through all the years was a devoted and helpful wife . Four children came to bless and sanctify this home. The first born was Stuart, who since the death of his father has departed this l i f e ; the other children were girls. They arc now Mrs. R. N . Havens, the wife of Rev, R, N . Havens, the presiding elder of the Knoxville District; the second daughter became the wife of Dr. C. B, Greear and lives in Honaker, \''a.; and the third daughter married M r . Frank Shoemaker and resides in Hansonville, \a .

On August 10,1877, under the ministry of Rev. John H . Kennedy, he was converted and became a member of the Southern Methodist Church, In this same year the Quarterly Conference, recognizing his talent as a speaker and his devotion to the church, gave him license to exhort, and in 1881 he was licensed to preach; in October 1886, he was admiaed on trial into the Holston Conference as a traveling preacher. In 1888 he was ordained a Deacon by Bishop John C. Granbcry; in 1891 Bishop A. W. Wilson ordained him an Elder. He served the lollowing charges: Fall Branch Circuit, 1886-7; Hamilton Circuit, 1887-88; Riceville, 1888-91; Ooltewah, 1891-94; Evensville, 1894-97; Kingston, 1897-99; Hawkins, 1899-1902; Powells Valley, 1902-04; Ta/ewell, Tenn., 1904-07; Madisonville, 1907-09; Etowah, 1909-10; Parrottsville, 1910-14; Rocky Gap, 1914-16; Honaker, 1916-19; Spring Valley, 1919-23; Draper, 1923-26. At the Conference held in Johnson City in October of 1926, he was granted the superannuate relation after an active and continuous ser\'ice of forty years.

In thinking over the appointments he served, we f i n d that they were all large circuits, and the salaries were small. Brother Towe loved the people living in the country. He was a modest man and never tried to push himself up to bigger appointments for the sake of a greater salary. He was always true to his ordination vow to accept the place assigned to him by the Bishop in charge. When we think of the salaries, the home, the cost of moving and the education of the children, at least some of us preachers know the trial that came upon this good man and his wife in making the outgo not greater than the income. We know some-tJilng of ihe small economies, the self-denials and self-sacrifices for the sake of the children, that no discredit might come upon the church. As we look Into the l i f e and service of these good people we do not wonder at the great influence and power of the Methodist circuit rider, and we canno; fa i l to appreciate the value of their service to the nation and to the kingdom of God upon earth. Brother Towe was no ordinary preacher. He was a student particularly of the Bible and of Methodist theology. He w.is a true and earnest defender of the faith once for all delivered unto the saints. His preaching was In demonstration o f the spirit and with power. He was thoroughly a Christian gentleman, quiet,

modest, unostentatious, unselfish, holding always uppermost In his mind and heart the welfare of the Church of his Lord. I went to see him several times in the home of his daughter at Honafcer, and found him always calm and serene in mind and spirit. Sometimes he was making sermons which he could preach—always free f rom any bitterness o f spirit, but on the other hand f u l l of fai th and good cheer and looking forward to his release from the tabernacle of the flesh that he might be clothed upon with that house not made with hands etern.il in the heavens.

This release came to him on Saturday morning, August 16. 'X'hc funeral services were conducted by S. D . Long and W. D . Farmer in the Methodist church of which he had been the pastor in former years, and in the presence of a large congregation of the people, gathered together to give thanks to God for the l i f e and character of this good and worthy nun. We laid his body to rest in the beautiful cemetery overlooking Emory and Henry College, where so many of his fellow-workers are waiting for the call of H i m by whose power their corruptible bodies shall be changed and made like unto his own glorious body.

John Wesley Malone, son of Rev, J. D. and Mrs. Mary Malone, was born In Atlanta, Ga., July 10,1856. His father was a local Method­ist preacher in South Carolina. His mother was Scotch-Irish, and a native of Tennessee. She was a Presbyterian until she married a Method­ist preacher, when she went with him to his church. The subject of this sketch was educated at Hiwassec College and Windcrbllt University. In 1 885 he went to Mississippi, and served the Byhalia and Victoria Circuit as a supply until the meeting of the North Mississippi Conference that year, when he was admitted on trial under the presidency of Bishop R. K. Hargrove. He completed the course oi study in regulation time, and was ordained an elder at Holly Springs, Miss., in 1899 by Bishop Charles B. Galloway.

He was married to Miss Lillian Kemp, of Hol ly Springs, June 15, 1887. Eight children were born to them, seven of them surviving as follows: Dr. Kemp Malone, of Baltimore; Dr. Dumas Malone, of Washington, D. C ; Miles S. Malone, of Princeton, N . J.; Mrs. David VVilson, of Minneapolis, M i n n . ; Miss Elizabeth Malone, of New Orleans; Mrs. Roger Sharpe, of New Orleans; and Miss Virginia Malone, of Duke University, Durham, N . C. John Wesley Malone, Jr., died years ago. The highest educational advantages were given these sons and daughters, as they graduated with honors from the first universi­ties of the land. The youngest daughter Is now at Duke University.

In the North Mississippi Conference Bro. Malone served the f o l ­lowing charges: Early Grove Circuit, 1886; Kosciusko, 1887-8; Minter City, 1889-90; Hernando and Coldwater, 1891-2-3; Como and McGhee,

1894. During the summer of 1894 he was elected president of Grenada College, where he served five sessions. In the summer of 1899 he re­signed to take charge of the Woman's Collge in Oxford, Miss., where he remained for three sessions. In the fa l l of 1902 he returned to the pastorate, and was sent to Brunswick, Ga., in the South Georgia Con­ference, where he remained for four years. He served Cuthbert but six months when he was elected president of Andrew College, and served there for twelve years. From Andrew he came to Centenary College, Cleveland, Tenn., and w.is transferred to Holston Conference. Here he served for nine years under difficulties many and formidable, but wi th fideli ty and the confidence of everybody.

A severe siege of malarial fever at Oxford, Miss,, came near proving his undoing. Mrs. Malone thinks that he never f u l l y recovered from this attack, although he sought a change of climate in Georgia, and fmal ly in the hills of Holston. His outstanding achievements as a Methodist preacher were, perhaps, "putting Grenada College on the map," as a friend says i t ; erecting a church at Brunswick; reestablishing .Andrew College, erecting a new building, providing for debt, starting an endowment, and making the institution a standard Junior College. His work amongst us here in Holston was of high grade, and won him the esteem of all. The writer was a classmate of Bro. Malone at Vander-built University, and his pastor for a year at Cleveland, which explains the authorship of this memoir. There was never a breath against the Christian character of John Wesley Malone. He loved the church, the work of Christian education, the fellowship of his brethren, and the extension of the Master's kingdom. His devotion to his fine family, and his sacrificial determination to give each one of his sons and daughters the best possible education, were known to those about him.

His last year in active service was as a pastor at Rural Retreat, Va., and was one of the happiest of his l i f e . Surrounded by a devoted people, he and his wi fe commenced l i f e over, as it were, and were serene and satisfied in their little bungalo parsonage home. Serious heart trouble broke into the contentment of the circle. When the physician told him that he could no longer take work, he broke down and wept. He was given the superannuate's relation in 1928. They moved back to Cleveland, Tenn. For two years he bore patiently his fai l ing health, and was f inal ly taken to a hospital there, where he lingered for three months. One of the last things he said was, as he pointed up, " I , John W. Malone, white through the Holy Spirit, and used of the Lord." His good wife says that "he was indeed white in body, mind and spirit, he had been washed and cleansed in the blood of the Lamb, and the Lord had used him." He died Sunday morning, .August 17, 1930.

Funeral services were held from our church at Cleveland by Rev. J. Earl Gilbreath, assisted by Dr. W. S. Neighbors, o f St. Elmo, and Dr. M . P. Carico, of the Sweetwater District. The people paid loving tribute to his memory. Another service was held in Grenada, Miss., by Dr. Countiss, and the dead was buried by the side of the namesake,

Jerome Virgil Hall was born ;U Bland Court House, Bland County, Va., March 27, 1873, and died at Chilhowie, \'a., Oct. 3, 1930. He was converted at the age of 22, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Bland C. H . , Va. He was licensed to exhort in 1896, and served his church in this capacity for four years. Then he became a local preacher and served in this capacity for four years. In 1904 at the Conference held in Abingdon, Va., Bro. Hal l was received on trial and traveled as an intinerate preacher for 23 years in the Wythevillc District, serving the following charges: East Wytheville, O ld Town, Spring Valley, Independence, Elk Creek, Cedar Springs, Wytheville Circuit, Marlon Circuit and Chilhowie.

He was married to Miss Ida Louella Hal l , of Ceres, Va. Dec, 24, 1889. To this union were born eigiit children—five boys and three girls, all of whom arc living. In every work to which Bro. Hal l was assigned he was successful and popular. W i t h great diligence he attended to every detail of his work; so genial was his personality that the people gladly followed his leadership. In every charge in the district which he served his name is lovingly revered, Bro, Hal l was devoted to the Wytheville District, While serving the Chilhowie charge his fifth year his health failed him, and it became necessary for him to superannuate October 1927, spending the remainder of his l i f e in Chilhowie, \'a. Af ter being superannuated he retained his interest in church work, such as preaching, circulating religious literature, and promoting the interests of the Sunday School. At the time of his death he was president of the Smythe County Sunday School Conference.

Oct. 5, 1930, reverently and quietly we carried the body from the home to the Methodist church where for many years he was pastor. A great throng had gathered there, many coming f rom a great distance. The services were led by his pastor Rev. W. A. McCormack. Others taking part in the service were Revs. J. T . Frazlcr, R. B. Piatt, Jr., E. A. Shugart, E. N . Woodward, S, S. Boyer, L . M . Burris, and L . C. Ross, of the Baptist church. .After the services we drove in the mellow autumn afternoon to the cemetery at M t . Pleasant, three miles north of Wytheville, and there tenderly committed his body to the ground, and covered it with a bank of beautiful flowers. We shall miss Bro. Hal l in our charge. We shall miss his genial friendl}' greeting. We shall miss him in the home, but there Is no question In our hearts as to his happy going to the home eternal.

MRS. T . R. H A N D Y

Caroline Hal l , youngest daughter of Major Boiling and Mary Louisa Crenshaw Ha l l , was born at Elerlesly, Ala., July 13, 1856. On both sides she had quite a distinguished ancestry running back through the Abercrombles and Elmores of South Carolina, and the Randolphs and Boilings o f \ 'irglnia, all of whom lef t a decided im­pression upon the early history of this countrj'. Her grandfather. Col. Boiling Ha l l , a Revolutionary soldier, moved to Georgia when but sixteen years of age. Later he represented the Miiageville District in Congress. In 1818 he went back to Alabama with a large body of slaves, and built the first house in all that section "wi th glass windows and wooden floors."

Caroline's mother died when she was but two years of age, and her father moved to Montgomery, where she grew to womanhood. She was educated under the tutelage o f the Misses Forensby, who conducted a select school In which some of the most outstanding women of the South were educated. Haring a \ery alert mind, Caroline made an unusual record. She was married to Rev. T . R. Handy, of the Holston Conference, in Montgomery, Feb. 26, 1890, the writer and Rev, John C. Orr, our Conference host, being among the ushers at the church wedding. Although a member of another church, she unhesitatingly gave up her own church and cast her lot f u l l y with that of her husband. Through the years which followed she accepted the unsettled l i f e of an itinerant without complaint, and proved a true helper in every way.

T o them were born six children—five sons and one daughter. They arc all f i l l i n g positions of honor and usefulness, .is follows: Judge Boiling H , Handy, of Richmond; M a j . T . T , Handy, of the U . S. Army, in Panama; Stuart C. Handy, of Montgomery, Ala.; Dr. Frank E. Handy, a physician ol Appalachia, \'a.; Laurens D. Handy, general manager of the Hughes Memorial School, in Danville, Va.; Miss Jean Handy, of Montgomery, .Ala. At our General Conference in Atlanta the father was introduced as the unique possessor of fi\ 'c sons in the big war.

Mrs. Handy's taking away was sudden and tragic. She had been in almost constant attendance upon her husband in a Montgomery hospital for twenty days and nights. When he seemed a little better, she slipped away to Chero Kee Hedge, their country home at Waugh, Ala., for rest. As she walked along the roadside, an automobile, driven by a drinking speeder, struck her. She was rushed to a hospital, but did not regain consciousness, dying a few moments after reaching there. The date was September 28, 1929. She had had a heart trouble for years, and the doctors had told her that she might be taken suddenly; so she had previously made all detailed arrangements for her funeral, which was to be simple, and without ostentation. She had selected the lot in the cemetery, asked that no flowers be brought, and that no remarks be made at the funeral—only the ritual to be used—an ideal way to conduct a funeral.

H O L S T O N A N N U A L 93

Dr. John S. Chadwick, Superintendent of the Memorial Hospital, Montgomery, conducted the funeral, assisted by Rev. John A. Frazier, of our Courtland Street Church there. Friends who knew nothing of her wishes about flowers sent floral offerings—some of them for several hundred miles. Amid a great concourse of people her body was laid away In Greenwood Cemetcr}', Montgomeri', to await the resurrection of the just. The writer—present at her wedding—ap­preciates the sad privilege of paying this word of high esteem to a good and noble woman gone to the heavenly Father's house and home. The stricken husband, who has presided over this Conference memorial service for a number of years, and who has recently been himself a sufferer in the flesh, has the tender sympathy of a host of friends. Kiessings upon him and his motherless sons and daughter.

MRS. W, M . BUNTS

Leona Elizabeth Goodpasture was born In Washington County, Va., July 10,1895, and died .it Galax, Va., November 24, 1929. She was the daughter of Samuel and Annie Goodpasture. She was converted at Baker's Chapel, on the Abingdon Circuit, when twelve years old. She was married to Rev. W . M . Bunts on July 29, 1914, the ceremony being performed in the Hermcslan Literary Ha l l , Emory and Henrj- College. One child, W. M . Jr., died in Infancy. Two daughters (Dorothy Eliza­beth, age twelve, and Ruth Campbell, age eight), wi th their father survive her. She was burled in the cemcterv at Emory and Henry College on November 26,

From the time that Mrs. Bunts met Jesus of Nazareth at the altar of the country church of her childhood home, she directed her l i f e according to his teachings. She graduated from the Abingdon High School and was honor student at Sulllns College, She has been an effective Christian worker through the channels of the church since her marriage to Brother Bunts. TTiey worked together in their plans and purposes for ilie kingdom. Both were regular attendants at summer schools and other gatherings which added opportunities for improved workmanship.

Mrs. Bunts was the first pastor's wi fe of the Holston Conference to receive a gold-seal diploma in a Standard Training School, She wa5 for two years dean of women at the Epworth League Assemblv at Martha Washington College. In this relation she endeared herself to hundreds of young people of the Conference, and brought to them an enlarged vision of service. She was highly appreciated In the various charges she and her husband served, and le f t an indelible impression for good.

.'^t Galax, the last parsonage home presided over by Mrs. Bunts, she found a very fine ministry. She was superintendent of the Junior Department of the Sunday School and a teacher. She played the violin in the choir and exercised her talents in majjiy interests of the church.

Slic was ;m atlractivt: speaker, and interest in the development of the good was extended bevond ihe organized church, as is evidenced by her active membership in the Mother's Club, the Garden Club , the Music C lub , and the Parent-Teachers' Association. T h e church and the com­munity feel a bereavement inexpressible at her loss.

In her home Mrs . Bunts was a real companion to her husband, an ideal mother, and a gracious hostess. T h e outstanding quality of her l i fe in all relationships was her genuine Christian character. She was beautiful in person, in personality, and in service. A former operation occasioned another, which affected her heart, making recovery i m ­possible. H e r funeral services at Galax were in charge of her presiding elder, Rev. R. B . Piatt, J r . , assisted by D r . J . M . Crowe, and at Emory by D r . J . S. French, D r . I . P. Mart in , Revs. C . W . Dean, R . E . Greer , G . K . Patty, F . Y . Jackson and Grover Thomas.

A host of friends, including representatives from every charge served by Brother Bunts, came. T o the land that is fairer than day, where spring abides and never-withering flowers, we look for the re­union. In the meantime wc feel the deepest sympathy for Brother Bunts and Dorothy and Ruth , and for all the loved ones, and we pray that the comfort of our Heavenly Father may stay their faith.

Rutherford in KnoxviHe, T e n n . , February 6, 1930. She war born near Rogersvillc, T e n n . , where in after years she met Bro Dawn and became his companion, sen'ing faithfully in this sacred relation until his death, which transpired July 25, 1902. Dur ing these twenty-eight years of her widowhood she has had loving children to sec that every want should be supplied until she had passed her eighty-second milestone in the pilgrmage of l i fe .

She leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn her departure, one daughter, Mrs . L . D . Watson, of Raleigh, N . C , having preceded her to the better land some twenty vcars ago.

H e r loving daughter, Mrs . Rutherford, has beautifully quoted of her going:

" I cannot say, I will not say, T h a t she is dead—she is just away. Wi th a cheery smile and a wave of the hand, She has wandered into an unknown land, And left us dreaming how very fair. It needs must be since she lingers there. And you, oh you, who the wildest yearn For the old time step, and the glad return, T h i n k of her still, as the same I say— She Is not dead, she is just away."

Sarah Llewel lyn Gentry, daughter of James M . and Marv Faw Gentry, was born In Jefferson, Ashe County, North Carolina, in 1851. Her parents were prominent !n social and religious circles of their qommunity and State. M r . Gentry was a well-to-do planter and merchant, and was, for years, a member of the North Carolina Legisla­ture. T h e Paws were prominent in East Tennessee, one of the dc-cendents now being a member of the A,ppe]late Court of the State.

Sarah Gentry joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, when a girl , and was a quiet, efficient worker. She was married to Rev. James I. Cash, of the Holston Conference, January 4, 1882, in Johnson City, T e n n . T o them was born one son, Gentry Cash, now an honored and influential director of the Standard O i l Company, of Illinois, and a son to be proud of. H i s substantial contribution to the superannuate endowment fund enabled Spring City, under the leader­ship of Lavens Thomas 11., Eo pay in fu l l the quota for that charge. An aifectionatc Interest In and oversight of his parents has been stead­fast through the years.

Mrs . Cash was a true helpmeet to her husband through forty-eight years of itinerant lights and shadows. H e r courage, devotion and fidelity, and her serenity of spirit were without spot. T h e writer was often in that home. It was a ioy to be a guest in such a home. Her simple sincerity and gracious kindness, multiplied many tfmes, made delightful tarryings under that hospitable parsonage roof. Her place in the church and community were always a factor for the right. T h e pastors of that happy home circle, through the years, testify to sympa­thetic and helpful influence.

A fall in Florida, and another at home in Spring City, added to her afflictions, and, no doubt, hastened the end. Through eighteen months of sufferings she was patient and kind. T h e complications increased until, f inally, she was taken lo the Chamberlain Memorial Hospital at Rockwood, T e n n . , where she quietly fel l on sleep in the morning of August 4, 1930. T h e husband, the son. Gentry, and wife ,

from Chicago, were there at the bedside. Funeral services were held from our church In Spring Ci ty , where a l.irge concourse of people turned out to pay loving tribute to the worthy woman gone.

Thomas I I . , of Kmori- University, Atlanta, .ind Rev. N . Rhea Cartright, of Dayton, T c n n . T h e y laid her tenderly away to rest in the beautiful cemetery there in Spring Ci ty ,

"Sleep on, beloved, sleep, and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon thy Savior's breast; W c loved thee wel l , but Jesus loves ihec best—

Good-night."
