APPENDIX.

JOINT BOARD OF FINANCE.-REPORT NO. 1.

To the Bishop and Members of the Memphis Annual Conference:-We, your Joint Board of Finance, to whom was submitted a letter from Dr.

W. F. Tillett, President, and the Rev. John R. Stewart, Secretary, of the Board of Trustees of the Superannuate Endowment Fund, beg leave to submit the following:

"We gladly embrace this op•portunity to again expres~ our unqualified endorsement of the wisdom of our General Conference of 1902 in projecting this enterprise so greatly needed for gtving adequate support to our conference claimants, so eminently worthy of our best and most generous efforts. While we expected this Five MHlion Dollar Fund to be subsC'ribed and collected more rapidly, we are glad to note the ;cheerful spirit of the letter as well as the evident expectation of ultimate success. A little less than one hundred and ninety thousand dollars has been subscrrbed, the most of which has been paid in and safely and profitably invested. In compliance with a request conta'ined in the above mentioned letter we recommend and request that the Bishop appoint for the cu.rrent coiliference year, the Rev. R. H. P·igue, as agent for this fund, whose duty it shall be to ,bring the matter before the pastoral charges in the bounds of th~ Memphds Conference, iWli'th a view ;o securing to this fund contributions as numerous and large as possible. We are much gratified by a fact embraced in the report of the Rev. H. B. Johnston, D. D., Pastor of Brownsville Station. He states that the Methodists in 'Brownsville and the other pastoral charges in Haywood county have contributed about sixteen hundred dollars for the purpose of building a home to be occupied by one of our superannuated preachers; that the lot has been purchased and that the house is in process of erection. We feel that we .can not too h'ighly commend the liberality and enterprise of these brethren, led 1by their several pastors, in a work so noble and praiseworthy. especially as it has not at all interferred with the regular contri,bution to this cause. Let other homes of a like nature 1be secured in towns and cities suitably located within our bounds, but with the distinct understanding that such enterprise shall not substitute, but be only a supplement to the Five Million Dollar Endowment Fund, and shall in no wise interfere nor hinder the regular collections for conference claimants. Le't it be understJood tha·t this is for the accommodation of those brethren who prefer to place their contributions in a local channel rather than in that already outlined :by our General Conference. Of one thing be assured, we can not be too active nor too liberal in our efforts in behalf of the support of these most worthy claimants.

Res·pectd'ully su1bmitted. T. W. OROWD:IDR, Chairman, Joint Board of Finance, Memphis Conference.

Support of the Ministry-We note with great pleasure that the support of the ministry is receiving the attention which its importance demands, and that not only the amount assessed, but the amount actually paid, is very decidedly increasing from year to year. The collection for the support of Conference claimants is in full, and on four districts in excess. There is a net excess above assessment of $173.25. X otwithstanding this, our duties have teen exceedingly difficult and the amount at our command has been totally inadequate to supply the pressing needs of these worthy claimants. We have therefore found it necessary to increase the assessment for this cause very decidedly; and now, brethren, let there be no deficit, but if possible, an excess from every pastoral charge.

In accordance with our usual custom we announce the banner district, station and circuit, as follows: Banner Charges-Brownsville District, excess over assessment ................ 79 25 Brownsville Station, excess over assessment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 00 Saulsbury and Grand Junction Circuit, excess above assessment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 50 00 Honor Roll-Jackson District, excess over assessment. ..................... 66 00 Memphis District, excess over assessment .................................. 24 00 Springdale and Buntyn Circuit, excess over assessment ...................... 15 00 Somerville Station, excess over assessment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 10 00 Germantown and Capleville, excess over assessment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9 00 Brownsville Circuit, excess over assessment. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 7 00 Denmark Circuit excess over assessment . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 6 00

On Saturday morning, the 17th inst., our hearts were made glad by the reception of a $25.00 check from Bro. J. B. McCutchen, Alamo, Tenn., as a special donation to the Conference Claimants' Fund, which amount has been placed to the credit of Browllisville District. We greatly appreciate this and would earnestly exhort our brethren and sisters of means to imitate this good example, and help in a cause which appeals to our higher natures. . We thank God and take courage at this, which we consider the best report that the Memphis Conference has ever marlc,


and confidently expect the time to arrive, and not in the far distant future, when these beloved servants and sacred wards of the church shall be adequately provided for in a manner which will be creditable to our great denomination.

Respectfully submitted, T. W. CROWDER, Chairman.

TWENTIETH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE MEMPHIS CONFERENCE

SUNDAY-SCHOOL BOARD. When it is remembered that fully eighty-five out of every one hundred acces

sions to our church come from the Sunday School, and that with all the ordinary and extraordinary agencies of the church, such as the regular ordinances, small and great revivals, and other efforts of many kinds, only fifteen out of every hundred are brought into the church, it is little wonder that our pastors a1·e opening their eyes wide to the rich field in the Sunday School for evangelistic lahor. If one possessed two working gold mines-one paying eighty-five per cent. and the other showing fifteen per cent. of refined output, it would not require the wisdom and foresight of a seer to determine which would elicit the greatest interest, and call forth the largest amount of glad-hearted toil.

Revivals Needed-The time will never come when revivals ana. other special work for the saving of souls will not be needed to reach those who have not committed themselves to God. The point, however, is that with the intelligent godly training the youth should receive in our schools now, there ought to be an increase, rather than a decrease of percentage in the number entering the church each year. We are cheered to believe that there was never a more earnst desire on the part of the great rank and file of our Sunday School workers for the salvation of pupils than at this time. Nothing short of genuine conversiGn of soul by God's Spirit is our great goal.

Teacher Training Work-The church has never done a wiser thing than making large provision for the training of our teachers by thousands who in turn are teaching and training the boys and girls of the church by hundreds of thousands, and covering an immense area over our broad connection. Dr. and Mrs. H. M. Hamill's deft hands are shaping the work for the future so that waving harvests will continually appear if this foundation work is appreciated and encouraged by those who should be most interested. \V e therefore ask that wherever possible, our Presiding Elders will invite these expert woTkers to attend District or other Conferences for the general culturing of our Sunday School officers and teachers.

Our New Editor-Since last report, our long time editor, Rev. James Atkins, D. D., has been called to the high office of Bishop, and Rev. E. B. Chappell, D. D., was elected editor by the General Conference. vVe give Dr. Chappell most cordial greeting in his new office which opens such an evel' widening field of usefulness to the church, and we pledge him the most hearty co-operation of well nigh five hundred and fifty Sunday Schools in the bounds of the Memphis Conference. DT. Chappell's acceptance of the invitation to deliver our anniversary address on this occasion is a manifest sign of service on his part which augurs much good to our general Sunday School work. We give our new editor hearty welcome.

By Districts-On account of the long confinement of the Chairman by accident, no large amount of personal work by districts could be done during the past year. However, correspondence with each Presiding Elder and many pastors reveal the fact that much work has been done in District and other Conferences, institutes and sundry gatherings by circuits and otherwise for the general bettering of the work and workers. Our Presiding Elders and pastors are pivotal men in carrying forward this important interest, and we have hacl the utmost co-operation from them through all the twenty years since the founding of the Conference Sunday School Board.

Children's Day-Our record on the observance of this red letter day has been a source of constant gratification, and we tl'Ust of some inspiration to other Conferences.

Its Enlarged Purpose-From the inauguration of Children's Day, its one object has been that of helpfulness; the scope of its usefulness, however, has been increased from time to time as developments demanded.

In order that we might go to the source of greatest possibility it was decided


by the last General Conference to establish in the Theological Department of Vanderbilt University a chair of ''Religious Pedagogy and Sunday Schools" for the instruction and training of our young preachers in thoroughly practical Sunday School work, so that when they receive the :first appointment, they will know how to intelligently and vigorously conduct that department of their church which pays the eighty-five per cent. of gain referred to in the beginning of this report.

Now-In order to establish such a chair, a permanent endowment fund must be raised, the interest from which will maintain the work year by year. The plan is to ask that a part of Children's Day funtl from over the entire church be used for this standing endowment fund until FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS is raised for said chair, and then the fund will he turned again to the regular channels as now used.

Let Us Rally to It-When this great undertaking is accomplished, it will perhaps be one of the :first of its kind in the Christian world, and we believe will mark a decidedly new era in the equipping of our preachers for valuable pastoral function among the young of their folds.

Therefore let us of the Memphis Conference who have had the honor of leading in some other directions, rally at once and liberally to this new and far-reaching outgrowth of our educational system for the exalted office of pastor of our people.

Our Rich Volume of Literature-A most commendable spirit of enterprise is manifest in the improvement and enlargement of our variously graded volume of literature.

While like that biggest room in the world-the room for improvement-·we hail with happiness every sign of response to the constantly growing demands of our large constituency.

The an.nual report of the editor has been studied with interest and care, and we believe he means to do real aggressive business for our Lord, in his place of potent influence.

Children's Day Offerings-Our aggregate offerings for the past year amount to $2,406.38, which amount, we rejoice to note, is an increase of $4.01 above the collections of last year.

BIBLE BOARD. Our article of faith on ''The Sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation''

reads: ''Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read therein nor may be proven thereby is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an article of faith or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation.'' With implicit faith in the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for salvation let us show our faith by our works and put the Bible in the hands of all, that everyone may read for himself in his native language the story of redeeming love.

We regret that notwithstanding the explicit duty of the preacher in charge (Discipine paragraph No. 134) "To present once a year to each congregation in his charge the claims of the American Bible Society and to report the amount of contributions raised by him for this purpose,'' yet seventeen charges report nothing for this important cause.

This Board confidently affirms that if we would ''not mend our rules but keep them'' there would be a contribution from every charge for the American Bible Society. We have received on. assessment $687.20, an increase over last year of $26.48.

We are pleased to note that several charges have paid in excess. Let us take the very small assessment as the minimum and collect excesses enough to make sure of the assessment in full next year.

We recommend the assessment for next year $750.00 and the apportion,ment among the districts as folows: Memphis .................... , . $113 00 Brownsville . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 98 00 Jackson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 90 00 Dyersburg . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 98 00

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE. Your committee would suggest, first of all, that the Conference heartily approves

of existing legislation which tends to the abolition of the traffic in intoxicating liquors. We have no sympathy whatever with the idea that the illegal sale of liquor is worse than open saloons. On the contrary, we believe that one saloon with


eyes (doors) wide open, is worse than a dozen blind tigers. We also gladly acknowledge that the legislation we have, and which has done great good, has been secured largely through the efforts of the Anti-Saloon League, and we therefore heartily commend that organization, and pledge ourselves to support it to the utmost of our ability.

But what we have in the way of legislation has only whetted our appetite to get more.

And first of all we would most respectfully ask the Legislatme of Tennessee to pass a stringent law against the jug trade, to prevent the shipment of liquor into any place where it cannot be legally sold; also to devise means for stopping the solicitation for orders for liquors in dry territory, and collecting money on said orders.

\Ve also most respectfully ask both houses of Congress to pass the HepburnDolliver bill, or some other bill that will answer the same purpose.

\Ve commend heartily the work of the \Voman 's Christian Temperance Union. We also request that our publishing house furnish individual pledge cards for

use in Sabbath Schools and Ep~worth Leagues on Temperance days. One of the imperative necessities of the hour is good, courageous men in office

to enforce the law, and for a similar type of citizens to support the officers in the enforcement of the law.

\Ve commend the extension of the Adams law as far as practicable, even if it shoulr1 include the whole State.

We ask that all papers friendly to the Temperance cause, especially the Nashville Christian Advocate, The Midland Methodist and The Methodist, to publish these resolutions.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE. In reporting on this important subject, we, your committee, feel that too much

can hardly be said and that space is necessarily inadequate in such a report to cover the ground. We would insist that our pastors look carefully to the sul:.ject by preaching, by example, and by encouraging in every possible way, the enforcement of our laws concerning it. vVe note with pleasure the activities and successes of the Sunday League and of the committees and individuals, especially interested in this matter both in our United States, in Canada and across the waters. Especially are we glad of our growing sentiment against Sunday excursions, Sunday baseball, Sunday business and other desecrations; and while we commend our brethren in the cities and larger towns for their action in this matter, we would suggest that those in smaller towns and villages may find some work to do. And for as much as our Lord hath taught that ''The Sabbath was made for man,'' therefore be it resolved

1st. That, as men of God, we receive the Sabbath as a divinely created institution, and keep it holy by our practices and its uses.

2nd. That we be diligent to show our people our Lord's mind as regards this clay, a day of rest and recreation, and peculiarly a clay of spiritual benefit and bless-ing. Respectfully submitted,

R. P. DUCKWORTH, Chairman. OCHUS L. ~iARTIN, Secretary.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE JOURNALS. Ripley, Tenn., November 17th, 1906.

\Ve your committee on District Conference Journals l:.eg leave to submit the following report:

Memphis District--we find the l\femphis District Journal a model in every particular, except that the President am1 Secretary failed to sign the records.

Brownsville District-We pronounce the Journal from the Brownsville District well kept. We offer no criticism.

Jackson District-The Jackson District Journal is well kept in all particulars, except a very few blots.

OF THE 1\:L E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 39

Dyersburg District-We find the Dyersburg Journal well kept in the main; some little blotting and a little interlining.

Union City District-The Union City District Journal is in good condition and no criticisms are offered.

Paducah District-This Journal is neatly kept. Paris District-We find this Journal well kept in the main, no criticism to offer,

except that there are a few blots and erasures. Lexington District-We find this Journal to be in good condition.

Respectfully submitted, S. B. LOVE, Chairman. T. G. LOWRY, Secretary.

PUBLISHING INTERESTS. Your committee on publishing interests present the following report: We are

glad to hear from our agents, Smith & Lamar, that the business of the publishing house in continually increasing. The annual exhibit shows that the net sales of the house amounted to $516,658.19, with net profit of $51,596.76.

Our Publications. The Review, edited by Dr. Gross Alexander, ranks with the best publications of

the country, and we think that it should be read by all our preachers and laymen -who wish to know something of the great questions of the age.

Nashville Advocate-Drs. Winton, Godby and Moore are giving us each week a most excellent paper. \Ve most heartily commend their work and pledge our cooperation in extending the circulation. Dr. Moore informs us that the columns of the paper will be open to a full discussion of all questions which pertain to the general welfare of the church. \Ve welcome this assurance.

Epworth Era-The Era is continually improving. Drs. Dubose and Parker are making a paper which is indispensable to our Leaguers. If everyone of our bright young people would read this paper many of their discouragements would be removed and it would be much easier to maintain a League.

Sunday School Literature-We consider our Sunday School Literature equal to the best. Drs. Chappell, Beaty and Hamil are bringing to us oil. well beaten. As so many of our young people are reached by them, if they could put in a few facts on Missions in each issue, we would be pleased.

Go Forward-If our preachers will put Go Forward in the homes of our people, they will soon enlarge their views in regard to the extension of our Lord's kingdom. This is a twenty-four page periodical filled with missionary information; price 25 cents.

The Methodist-The Methodist, a paper published at Fulton, Ky., by Rev. R. H. Pigue, has reached a circulation of five thousand and has greatly improved, both in mechanical make-up and in the character of the contributions. We find that our people read it with much pleasure. Each issue brings fresh news from workers in the :field. It is serving a good purpose. Its columns are open to all. The editor assumes :financial responsibility as well as editorial, for he owns and directs everything about it.

H. B. JOHNSTON, Chairman. E. A. TUCKER, Secretary.

SPIRITUAL INTEREST. We, your committee on Spiritual Interest submit the following: From information gathered from all available sources we note with gratitude the

increased interest in the spiritual activity of the church within our bounds. Throughout the Conference where our preachers and people give special atten

tion to revival work, allowing sufficient time to each revival, and properly represent our doctrines, Methodism has greatly advanced. The net gain in membership for the past year is very gratifying, for which we give humble thanks to the great Head of the church.

'!'here is, however, great room for improvement along many lines. Many of our people are denying themselves one of the greatest privileges and blessings of the Christian experience by neglecting the quiet hour of family devotion.

We believe the home to be the center of all social and moral development, and


that the future success of the church depends largely upon the home training of our boys and girls. Many of our social problems will be solved when the right value is placed upon the Christian home.

Much has been written about the divorce evil, world.liness, Sunday excursions, Sunday l::aseball, theater-going, and such like, all of which are demoralizing in their influence and threaten the young life of our church.

We cannot do less than record ourselves against these evils in word and deed, for ''By their fruits shall ye know them,'' was the rule given by our Lord. With faith may we look forward to greater achievements of victory for the coming year.

J. S. RENSHAW, Chairman, W. A. WATTS, Secretary, CHAS. C. BELL, J. B. BIRCHETT.

EPWORTH LEAGUES. We note with pleasure from the report of our General Secretary the largest

and most satisfactory development of the League in all its history during the past year; there having been an increase of 445 chapters, with a total increase in membership of 10,414.

This indicates the permanent hold which the young people's work has taken upon the church, and should inspire confidence and beget an earnest effort on the part of all pastors, lay leaders and League workers, to press this work to even greater results. We also note with much gratification that the ten-cent assessment by which the central office is supported, has increased nearly $500.00 above former years, which points to a growth of liberality among our young people.

The Epworth Era continues to grow in circulation, influence and power of wonderful good among the young in giving them a paper abreast with the foremost journals of our Southland, and plans are already on foot for its enlargement, and with the aid of the pastors, it shoulc1 be put into the hands of all our young people.

The Leagues throughout the Memphis Conference, so far as we could secure information, are increasing in interest and power for good among the young, indoctrinating and developing them in Christian character and church work. No pastor can feel satisfied that he has done his duty until he has organized an Epworth League among his young people.

The League is recognized as one of the great departments of the church, the purpose of which is to promote piety and loyalty to our church among our young people, their education in the Bible, Christian literature and in Missionary work, the encouragement in the work of grace and charity, and is no longer optional with the pastor, but it is incumbent upon him by the law of the church to organize his young people into Leagues wherever it is possible to do so, and we urge every pastor to see that this important department of the church is brought to the front in his charge. G. A. KLEIN, President.

CHURCH EXTENSION. Dear Brethren-Your Board is glad to report an increase in the collection for

Church Extension. \Ve believe our people are more and more realizing the importance of this cause and appreciating the work clone by this Board.

While we rejoice in the advancement made in the work of Church Extension, we regret that we still have some preachers who do not properly emphasize the importance of this work. We do not think it is right that the assessment::! should be reported paid in full for some claims, while nothing at all is raised for Church Extension.

EDUCATION.

J. H. ROBERTS, President. H. M. ELDER, Treasurer. L. T. WARD, Secretary.

\N e, your Board, wish to call attention again to the vital importance of educating our youths, and to say with as much emphasis as possible that in order to do this we must build and support our own institutions of learning. We rejoice in the

OF THE 1\f. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 43

work of the public school and near approach to what may be called Christian education, but as a church, if we are to meet the demands of our young people with what is strictly Christian educati,9n we must put them under the tutelage of the church school.

We rejoice in the continued prosperity of all schools within our bounul') and that valuable property has been acquired at some, and debts are being paid off on others.

Vanderbilt University-We rejoice in the continued prosperity of Vanderbilt University with an ever increasing attendance. The high standard of scholarship required to enter and to receive degrees from the university is highly gratifying to us. This school is in every sense our own and deserves our constant support, both in gifts, cl~nations, etc., and the sending of young men seeking higher education. We very much hope that nothing will ever occur to alienate the sympathies from this great school.

Correspondence School-This new branch has alreaclv clone much to raise the standard of efficiency among our young preachers and will yet do vastly more in this direction. We are glad that as many as 31 young preachers from this Conference are now enrolled in this correspondence course. "\V e wish to call attention again to the large benefit that may be derived by our undergraduates by a close attendance upon the splendid lectures of Dr. J. H. Stevenson delivered at the session of this Conference.

Memphis Conference Female Institute7 This school for young women has never been better attended or more generally supported than now. For 64 years large numbers have been going to this institute. Thirty-four are now in the graduating classses in the various departments this year. We very much desire that the church may own this institution in fee simple and stand ready to co-operate with any well ordered plan proposed by the people of Jackson looking to this end.

McFerrin School-We wish the Conference to know that at this school a splendid dormitory has been built at cost of $7,000.00 and of this amount the Board has donated $500.00. By this ancl other improvements the work will be greatly helped. We hope to make other improvements in the near future. The work is of a high grade and deserves the confidence of all.

Marvin College-This school is in the midst of a good year. A debt of some standing is being paid off and the Board has given $250.00 for the purpose with the understanding that the whole amount shall be raised. Several of our preacher boys are here and all are doing· well. Prof. Browder is a faithful, earnest worker. By his efforts the school has grown from year to year.

Dyersburg District Training School-This school continues to do a high grade of preparatory work and has in the classes of this year a fine body of boys and some girls. The school is located in the country where the atmosphere is free from many temptations incident to towns and cities. We commend this school.

McTyeire School-This splendid school continues to hold the high ground in matters of thorough work and strict discipline of former years. 'rhe enrollment is larger this year than for some time. Several young men are preparing for the ministry in this body of students of this year.

Brownsville Training School-This school is under the best discipline and management; the grade of work aimed at is of the very best.

Lane College-We are gratified that Lane College has succeeded in rebuilding the girls' dormitory which was sometime since destroyed by fire. Our people have contributed to this work from time to time. This work still appears to us as a matter of our very deep concern. The colored people of this country are largely dependent upon us.

The assessment on the Conference for educational purposes last year was $2500.00; of this amount $2218.56 has been paid and applied. as follows:

excellent missionary journal, Go Forward,

Your Board would emphasize the Young People's Missionary Department and call upon the pastors to organize mission stud.y classes wherever possible. We are more and more impressed with the good results of the Mid-Year Meeting and have therefore instructed the Chairman to provide for a similar meeting the ensuing year. In view of the urgent need of the pastors serving mission charges, and in order to defray the expenses of those appointed to the Missionary Training School we most earnestly request that the Domestic Mission funds be collected and remitted to the Conference Treasurer as soon as possible.

The Board has this year suffered the loss by death of one of its most faithful members, Judge A. G. Hawkins. A committee consisting of W. C. Sellars, J. M. Pickens and J. R. Reeves has been appointed to present a suitable memorial of him, which will be found in the minutes of the Conference. C. A. Waterfield, J. R. Reeves and B. J. Russell were appointed a committee to audit the books of' the Treasurer. (See report.)

MEMOIRS.

A. B. JONES, President. JNO. C. WILSON, Secretary.

REV. WILLIAM ALEXANDER DIGGS. The Rev. William Alexander Diggs was born June 6, 1857, near Paris, Henry

County, Tenn., where he lived till his marriage in 1889. He was converted at the age of twelve years and attended school at Paris and at McKenzie, though not completing a course· at either place. He was licensed to preach at Oak Hill under the Presiding Elder, J. H. Witt, 19 April, 1890, and was admitted into the Conference at Dyersburg the following November. His ordination to the deaconate was under Bishop Charles B. Galloway at Memphis, December 3, 1893, and to the eldership at Union City, November 17, 1895, by Bishop Robt. K. Hargrove. Brother Diggs served the following charges: Wadest·oro Circuit, two years; Big Sandy Circuit, four years; New Providence Circuit, two years; Manleyville Circuit, three years; Farmington Circuit, three years, and Milburn Circuit, one year--fifteen years of ministry to the churches of six successive charges.

Brother Diggs' manner was quiet, his character pure, his devotion steadfast. No coarse, ungentlemanly thing could have been done by him. Out in the silent, hard, steady trials of these six circuits in the northern extreme of our Conference he served and was content to serve the church he loved and the Savior he adored.

C. A. W ARTERFIELD.

REV. MATTHEW T. LOWE. Was born October 9th, 1876, in Obion County, Tennessee, near Pierce Station. His father and mother, being pious Methodists, early taught him of God's dealings with his soul. In the summer of 1890, he was converted, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, at Walnut Grove, South Fulton Circuit. He obtained a good common school education, finishing at Fulton, Ky. For six years he taught in the best common schools of Obion County. He was recommended as a suitable person to preach by the Quarterly Conference of the Troy Circuit, and was licensed by the Dyersburg District Conference which met at Troy April 28th, 1900. He was ordained deacon at Paris, Tennessee, November 23rd, 1902, by Bishop E. E. Hoss. On November 19th, 1905, at Mayfield, he was ordained elder by Bishop W. W. Duncan. His first appointment was Ayers and Blue Grass. It had been a mission for twenty-eight years, but by his efforts, it ceased to ask for help. Another very happy event of his first year in the ministry was his marriage on February 15th, 1901, to Miss Susie 0 'Neal, of Troy, Tenn. She studied with him, and was constantly an inspiration to him in his work.

In the fall of 1902, he was appointed to McKenzie Circuit, where for two years he labored with marked ability and success. It was here that after frequent challenges he met the pastor of the Missionary Baptist Church in debate over the controverted doctrines of the two churches. The Methodist people were gratified over the result.

Since then the Methodist Churches of that charge have had decided prosperity. He was sent to Kirksey Circuit November 21st, 1904. His first year was


spent in thoroughly organizing the charge for a forward movement. Several conversions and a creditable increase in membership was reported, while the :finances for the :first time in several years was reported full, with an excess on pastor's salary. The next year was the crowning one of his ministry. Two hundred and ten conversions and more than one hundred added to the church, and though the assessments were in advance on all financial obligations every claim was paid in full. The parsonage was freed of debt. It was at the close of this year that he finished his course of study with distinction through the Correspondence School. He had begun the present year with determination to lead his people into wider experiences of grace and missionary efforts, when his physician advised him to seek another climate. The effort was made to get him an appointment in Arizona. Failing in this he diligently begun his work expecting to transfer to California this fall. Much exposure to the inclement weather of the early spring brought on an attack of pneumonia on April the 9th. After ten clays of constant care by his physician, wife, and many friends, his frail body gave away on April 19th, 1906. His remains were shipped to Pierce Station and buried in the old church yard at Chapel Hill. A large company of people attended the burial.

The writer conducted the services, assisted by Rev. W. G. Heffiey, Rev. W. J. Mecoy, Rev. R. H. Pigue and Rev. Simpson Weaver. His remains' were laid away in the grave mHler the auspices of the \V. 0. W., of which he was a member.

He was logical in his sermons, systematic in his business, energetic in the discharge of his duties, modest in demeanor, resolute in purpose, consecrated in life, he reaped a harvest of many souls during his short career. In deep affliction, yet abhling in faith, the wife remains to train up their little babe, and to look for the coming of the Lord. H. W. BROOKS.

MRS. CLARA DALLAS. Mrs. Clara Dallas (nee Walker) was born near Rouseville, Decatur County, Ten

nessee, September 23, 1867, and departed this life at Sugar Tree, Tenn., August 15, 1906. She was happily converted at the age of twenty-five and at once joined the Methodist Church, in which she lived a true, 0-evoted, and useful life until the angel of death kissed her life away. Sister Dallas belonged to a large family, and was the first in the family to make a profession of religion; then God used her as an instrument in His hands in leading other members of the family into the fold. So, then, it was through her influence that her father's house became the home of a preacher. She was married to Rev. A. L. Dallas June 10, 1903, leaving the comforts of home and sharing with her husband the many hardships incident to the life of an itinerant preacher. Her holy life drew to her a great circle of friends, and retained their confidence and love to the end. Her active, self-sacrificing service in all kinds of church work made her God's messenger of love and comfort to many· broken-hearted sinners, and in many homes of sorrow, sickness, and death.

In her own family circle she has been the burden bearer, the safe counselor, and the example of Christian kindness and love. There her Christian light was ever shining, even through the gloom of darkest hours. She leaves her husband, two stepchildren and other relatives, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The funeral was conducted by Rev. J. G. Clark and myself, and the body was laid to rest in the family grave yard. J. M. PICKENS.

ALBERT G. HAWKINS. Albert G. Hawkins was born at Huntingdon, Tennessee, and died in the same

town May 16, 1906, aged near sixty-five years. He was reared partly on the farm and partly in town, and was educated in the common schools, Huntingdon High School and McLemoresville College, graduating from the last named institution. He then taught in Louisiana till the t·eginning of the Civil War in 1861, when he enlisted under Capt. Bryant in General Forrest's brigade, and served as First Lieutenant of his company for four years. He studied law and entered upon its practice in 1873. Twice he represented his county in the State Legislature. Twenty years ago he was elected Chancellor, and was serving his third term when he was called away.

Judge Hawkins was converted in about 1874 or 1875 and joined the M. E.

OF THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH. 49'

Church, South. He served in nearly every capacity in the local church, Steward, Trustee and Sunday School Superintendent, for eighteen years. Year after year he was a member of the Annual Conference, and was twice elected a member of the General Conference, of which he was an alternate-elect when he died. He was twice married. First to Miss Ellen Prince. Three children from this union survive the loss of their father. The second marriage was to Miss Kate Vanhorn of Paris, Tenn., who lives now in loneliness and sorrow. He died at his home in Huntingdon, Tenn., suddenly, of acute congestion, May 16, 1906. His last service in the church was on Sunday morning when he taught a class of twenty boys and enjoyed the morning worship.

Judge Hawkins was never forgetflll of the little things, while capable of great things and great thoughts. He never forgot the common courtesies of life, and had a beautiful regard for its amenities. Thus a strong and useful life has closed, and the Board of Missions of the Memphis Conference has lost one of its most valued members, the church one of her most honored sons, and the state a useful citizen.

MRS. MARY B. DUNGAN. Mrs. Mary B. Dungan (nee Adams) was born November 6, 1847, and when about

twelve years old she professed religion and immediately joined the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in which she lived an exemplary life for forty-three years. Her parents died when she was but five years old, both father and mother passing away about the same time, leaving her and one sister three years old, also a brother about six months old. Her father, Colonel Hiram Adams, was a Royal Arch Mason and through the instrumentality of the Masonic order the three orphan children were placed in a good Christian home where they were reared under the influences that taught her and the others to love, honor and serve God. Her brother grew up to useful manhood and passed away about fifteen years ago; the sister is still living and the only one of the family left. When about twenty years old she was married to Rev. W. A. Dungan, October 1st, 1867, and for nearly thirty-nine years they lived happily together. She was a good wife, a good neighbor, yes a good woman, and though she never had any children of her own, she loved children and perhaps the fact that she was left an orphan made her have a very tender feeling for orphan children, and she was always trying to do something for them. She reared three in her home, one of whom passed away years ago, two of whom survive her and loved her to the end.

She loved her church and for a long time was an earnest worker, always working in harmony with her pastor, and her loyalty was such that she seemed to think her pastor one of the best under all circumstances, and especially, did she love the Sunday School and for many years she was a very faithful teacher.

About ten years ago she had a severe attack of lagrippe, since which time she has never been very well and about eighteen months ago she went down near death 's door, since which she was never well again. Two months ago she grew much worse and suffered until July 10, when death came and her glorified spirit took its flight. On the 11th of July her funeral services were held in the church at Gadsden and a large concourse of people assembled there to participate in the service. Dr. W. L. Duckworth, J. C. W. Nunn and others joined in the service at the church in paying tributes to the memory of Sister Dungan, and among the things said was that she ''In giving up her home where she had everything that she wanted, to go with Bro. Dungan as an itinerant's wife, she had made as great sacrifice as any one in moving from place to place for the Lord's cause.'' We laid her to rest in the cemetery near Gadsden, and many sorrowing friends following her remains to her final resting place, bearing testimony to her good and useful life. W. D. JENKINS.
