D PORTER, X. J. MAYHEW, G. F. WINFIELD PRICE 23 CENTS r i The influenza epidemic has delayed this number of the Jouinal. The following little versicle by our versatile Secretary may help you in formulating a philosophy that, like his, will help you in avoirdupois.—Ed. r WORRY VS. WORK It is the WORRY, not the work, That makes a man grow old; Not duties done, but those we shirk, That makes the life so cold. Dread WORRY weakens faith in heaven, Defeating God's great plan. 'Tis fearful WORRY—cursed leaven— That sours the heart of man. Blessed the faith that makes one sing, As to his task he goes, Extracting honey, dares the sting, In spite of thorns—the rose. —A. D.

Eight of our members have died during the year, viz: H. M. Gloss, G. W. Owens, A. L. Andrews, M. H. Major, R. B. McSwain, W. H. Howard, 0. B. Turner and Henry Stanford. We submit you herewith the memoirs of these brethren and recommend that they be published in our Journal for the consideration of the Conference. We are called upon also to report the death of three preachers' wives this year as follows: Mrs. C: G. Shutt, Mrs. W. W. Noble and Mrs. A. L. Andrews. We submit herewith a brief account of the life of each of these good women for your earnest consideration. We regret that the shortness of the time at the disposal of the Conference seems to indicate that we will not be . able to have a memorial session and thus give to each of these the full consideration justly due them. . We wish to extend to the loved ones of each of these departed friends our sincerest sympathies and offer for their comfort our warmest prayers. These brethren and sisters have wrought well and have come to the end unafraid and in great peace. Respectfully submitted, J. M. BARCUS, E. F. BOONE, J. H. STEWART. The obituary of Brother O. B. Turner will be furnished and printed in the Journal next year.—Committee. The obituary of Mrs. Andrews was not furnished.—Ed. REV. HIRAM M. GLASS. When Rev. Hiram M. Glass died in the Old Confederate Home in Austin one of the oldest Methodist preachers and one of the most heroic spirits in Texas passed away. He was born near Huntsville, Ala., June 11, 1828. He was received into the Methodist Church, on probation, in 1841, and maintained an. unbroken connection for seventy-seven years. When he was twenty years old he was licensed to preach at Pickenville, Ala. The father - of Bishop Murrah was his Presiding Elder. In 1849 he came to Texas and attended school at Chappell Hill for two years. The next three years he taught school in that vicinity and in 1855 was elected president of the Chappell Hill College. In the same year, in December, he was admitted on trial into the Texas Conference. In the fall of 1856 he was appointed to Centerville and while there was the pastor of Bishop Seth Ward's father. In 1858-59 he was stationed at Anderson; in 1860 at Waverly and Cold Springs. In 1861 he served the Fairfield charge until the fourth Quarterly Conference without receiving a dollar as salary. He was then released from his charge and joined the Confederate Army. In CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 45 the winter of 1862 he was summoned to go to Huntsville and buy supplies and clothing for the Confederate Army. Considering the conditions in Texas at that time and the lack of facilities for travel, this was a very responsible and even perilous mission. In the performance of it he finally went as far as San Antonio and within ten weeks reported back to headquarters at Little Rock with the goods and also numerous bundles of clothing, etc., sent by the wives and daughters of the solBiers. After performing this distinguished and valuable service he was granted a furlough and returned to Huntsville, Texas, but in a short time he was sent by Colonel Spring, who was then at Huntsville, to Matamoras, Mex., with cotton to sell and also to buy supplies. When he returned from this trip he was appointed chaplain of Colonel H. M. Elmore's regiment, which was then at Galveston. He served in this capacity until the close of the war. In 1864 there was a terrible scourge of yellow fever in Galveston and he did heroic and unselfish service in nursing the sick, burying the dead and in loving ministrations to the bereaved. On one day he buried 22 victims of the scourge and the next day was himself smitten. His life was despaired of and he was even reported as having died. The records to which I have had access are so meager that no accurate statement of the charges he served can be given. He gave, first and last, a good many years to teaching in Methodist schools. In 1869 he joined the (old) Northwest Texas Conference. He was granted the superannuate relation in 1892. When the Conference was divided he became a member of the Central Texas Conference and was in that relation at the time of his death. Brother Glass belonged to that noble band of pioneers who counted not their lives dear unto themselves, but who, with unflinching courage, endured hardness as good soldiers of Jesus Christ that they might lay the foundation deep and strong for the future Church and Christian civilization in the Lone Star State. Unlike most of his co-laborers, he lived to see with his own eyes some of the glorious fruitage of the faithful sowing of those heroic days. He threaded forests and prairies without roads, crossed streams without bridges, slept many a night with his saddle blanket for a bed, his saddle bags for a pillow and God's stars for a covering. He traveled circuits when to the equipment of a preacher was to be added a pistol or a trusted rifle. He preached to congregations who stacked their arms in the corner of the log meeting house and who kept one eye on the preacher and the other on the lookout for the stealthy Indian. The value of the services of such men cannot be measured by statistics. The full fruitage of their ministry will not be known until the books are opened on the last day. Brother Glass had a beautiful Christian experience. He had his share of earthly sorrows, but he never grew sour or complaining. He could say with Paul, Though the outward man perishes the inward man is renewed, day by day. On his eighty-second birthday he wrote: "How gracious and loving has been God's protection over me, through these years of strenuous service and travel and danger and hardships! My spiritual sky is clear. My love for the church and the welfare of my brethren and the salvation of sinners are immortal and exhaustless. I . am ready to stack my weapons of warfare at the gate of eternal life, or take them 'again, 46 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL should the fortunes of my Redeemer demand them and me again. `Bless the Lord, 0 my soul."' This is the concluding paragraph of a communication he wrote to the Texas Advocate on his eighty-second birthday. Commenting on this communication, the editor of the Advocate said: "The record he gave of himself and his life work is remarkable. Few men in Texas can show such a history. Think of a man, more than eighty years old, still in good health and happy in the service of the Master, having passed through the stirring scenes he depicts, and still willing to serve another lifetime in the vineyard were he able to retrace his steps. Yet he is as modest as a woman, as consistent as a saint, as heroic as a martyr and as devoted as Paul." After his superannuation Brother Glass continued to have an intense passion for souls and in the city of SanAntonio, for many years he went about among the poor and outcast, ministering to the sick, praying for the wayward in every way within his power, seeking to save the lost. And even after he was admitted as an inmate of the Old Soldiers' Home in Austin he continued as long as his strength. would allow to give spiritual help to . all whom he could reach. He believed that as long as God left him here he had some work to do, and he sought for it and found it. He never laid down his armor until the crown was in sight. For seventy-seven years he was a Methodist and for more than seventy years a Methodist preacher. He ceased at once to work and live. Servant of God, well done. JNO. M. BARCUS. REV. GEORGE W. OWENS. Rev. George W. Owens was born in Monroe County, Ala., March 25, 1852. He came to Texas with his mother, six brothers and two sisters in 1868, settling near Calvert. He was converted at Horn Hill under the-ministrnf Rev. William Graves, October, 1870, and joined the M. E: Church, South, in the following December. He was licensed to preach by Rev. Thomas Stanford in November, 1871. He was ordained deacon by Bishop Doggett in 1876 at Calvert, Texas, and an elder by Bishop Parker at Cleburne, Texas, at our Conference in November; 1882. He was admitted on trial into the old Northwest Texas Conference in October, 1878; at Belton, Texas. In the fall of 1878 -he was married to Miss Allie Epperson, daughter of the late Petty Epperson, one of our great laymen. He served the following pastoral charges: R_ eagor Circuit 1879-80, Ferris Circuit 1881, Wesley and Rush 1882, Wesley Circuit 1883, Lancaster Station 1884, Bruceville 1885-86 and a second pastorate at Lancaster 1887-88. He was for fifteen years Financial Agent of the Texas Christian Advocate, and for the past twelve years he has held a supernumerary relation in the Central Texas Conference. Brother Owens was" a successful pastor, having had 150 conversions in his . first charge; 160 in his second, 82 in his third, 45 in the fourth, 40 in the fifth, 65 in his sixth and in like manner to the close of his active ministry. .In each of these charges he built a new church or parsonage, or both. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 47 After his health failed and he became active in business he was devoted to his church. The present Tyler Street Church, Oak Cliff, was erected by him at a cost of $5,000. At his death twenty-two young men at Southern Methodist University were indebted to him- for an opportunity of obtaining an education. Hundreds of dollars and numerous kindnesses went from his generous hand to bless the needy, of which the world knew nothing. The position of Brother Owens on all moral questions was clearly known. When the John L. Sullivan fight was staged for Dallas, Texas, his managers applied to him for more than one million feet of lumber for the great amphitheater, he scornfully refused to allow one dollar's worth of his property to be used. His fine physique, his genial greeting, his happy spirit, and his open face made him attractive in any company of men. To know him was to love him. To him and his noble wife who survives him was born six children, three sons and three daughters. They were a happy family. A great mother is left to bless and guide his children, We commend her and the children to the Great Father who was his solace in the long years of his sickness. To his sorrowing mother, three brothers, and Miss Margaret. --whom we have known and loved for forty years—we extend our deepest sympathy. We will miss him at the annual roll call, but he has answered to the call from above. "Servant of God well done, Thy glorious warfare is past, The battle's fought, the race is run, And thou art crowned at last." H. BISHOP. REV. A. L. ANDREWS, A. M., D. D The world's great wealth lies not in its mountains, fields or forests, but in its- manhood_ and womanhood. Its greatest assets are not stupendous industrial corporations, but good men and women. The going of one is a greater loss to the forward movement of society than the crash of any commercial institution. It is men, not wealth, that give luster and immortality to a people. The true history of a country is its biography of her great men of action; for in the circle of a human life move all the forces that enter into the building of a great nation. So the going of our great and good men is a distinct loss, a matter of profound and widespread sorrow. This was true in the sudden and tragic death of Rev. Allen Lewellyn Andrews, A. M., D. D. Dr. Andrews was the son of Rev. Allen S. Andrews, A. M., D. D., LL. D., and Mrs. Virginia Hudson Andrews, and was born in Columbus, Miss., January 22, 1868. His father was one of the leading men of Methodism of his day; a preacher and educator of national reputation. His mother was by nature a gentle woman, by education cultured and by grace a handmaiden of the Lord. She still lingers in the richness and mellowness of age, ready to join that glorified host with whom her loved ones dwell. 48 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL On November 4, 1890, Dr. Andrews married Miss Hassie Martin in Madison, Ala. This union was crowned with eight children: Mrs. Virginia Hudson Manly, William B., Allen S., Mrs. Lila Elizabeth Hill, Ruth De Jarnette, Allen Lewellyn Jr., Julian Lee and John Holt. All these survive him except William B., who met his death at the same time as his father and mother, and was a corporal in the 131st Field Artillery, and Allen S., who died in infancy. This marriage was one of love. Heart answered heart with the responsiveness of string to bow. They were the complement of each other. Their assets were capitalized in one life. "The twain became one flesh." They gave all each to the other. They held back nothing. Dr. Andrews entered the Southern University, of which his honored father was president, before he was sixteen years old, and graduated in four years with the master's degree. He was a bright student and his college career was a brilliant one. There was hardly an honor offered in the institution that he did not win. He was popular with his fellow-students and a trusted leader among them. He joined the North Alabama Conference in 1887, and for two years was stationed at Madison, Ala. In November, 1889, he transferred to the Alabama Conference and served the following charges: Huntsboro and Seale, Clayton, Midway, Wetumpka, Dexter Avenue, Montgomery, and Church Street, Selma. He transferred to the North Texas Conference in 1906, where he served the following charges: Grace, Dallas; Sherman District, Terrell District and Wichita Falls. In the fall of 1916 he was transferred to the Central Texas Conference and was stationed at the First Church, Fort Worth, where after finishing his first year with great popularity and success, and soon after entering upon his second year, he met his tragic and lamentable death on December 28th, 1917. He was twice a member of the General Conference, elected once by the Alabama Conference and once by the North Texas Confernce: He was chosen first alternate delegate by the Central Texas Conference to the last General Conference. When only thirty-seven years of age, in recognition of his proven ability and leadership, the honorary degree of D. D. was - conferred upon •him by his Alma Mater. Dr. Andrews, judged by every standard, was not an ordinary man. He was not cast in conventional moulds.. His life moved in wide-sweeping circles. He had the advantage of a noble and distinguished ancestry, and the environment of a home permeated with the spirit of love and culture. Under these influences his life took root in the finer things and grew up into beauty and strength. The impress of his early training was never effaced and the thrill of parental touch lingered till the end. His was a big heart and golden too. He loved to love and loved to be loved. Many felt the great passion of his heart and rejoiced.. Many have felt the touch of his inexhaustible sympathy and been strengthened. Many have seen his unstinted generosity and been shamed. None appealed to him in vain. He was a covert to tired and tempted souls. Men of all shades of belief and all kinds of trouble flocked to him and in him found inspiration and strength. He gripped men and women not by gracefulness and winsomeness of speech, but by the deeper and more elemental faculties of the soul, generosity, sympathy and love. In him these noble graces came to such CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 49 perfect flowering as to saturate his life with their heavenly perfume. His life was one of service. Being what he was he . could not withhold his feet or hands or tongue or heart. They were all consecrated to service. His greatness was not the glitter of earthly power and place, but the greatness of spending himself. His whole life was fused into the overmastering passion of ministering. Full of the tender graces of life yet he was manly. He had those firmer qualities which made him strong and heroic. He never cowered in the face of duty or evaded an unpleasant tusk to will popularity. His emphatic protest was entered against all forms of evil and injustice. He always spoke and acted in the-open, there was never about him the unsanctified atmosphere of an ecclesiastical diplomat. He was quick to resent an injury, but just as quick to forgive. He did not and could not bear malice, for the fires of his great soul consumed it. To his friends he was loyal and to his enemies forgiving. No one ever had a better friend or truer. Loyalty to his friends was a passion. The greater their need the closer he clung. He laid himself out for them. There was nothing he had that was not theirs also. Naturally, he was it radiant spirit. His joy was contagious. He radiated happiness. He was a tonic for the blues. Good cheer rang in his voice. Laughter lay upon his lips. All were glad when he came and upon his departure pressed him to come again. It was as a preacher and a pastor that his great soul shone out with all the splendor of a sublime consecration and won for him a conspicuous place among his brethren. He loved to preach. It was to him a great privilege and a sacred task. It was all-absorbing. He gave himself to it with all the ardor of youth, which grew into a passion in his maturer years. Through all his preaching ran the evangelistic note. He spoke not in the hesitating terms of human philosophy, but in the authoritative terms of divine assurance. He was an ambassador of God, his credentials bore the authentication of heaven. He spoke not simply to the head, but also addressed himself to the heart. He knew its language and could stir and thrill it. He was a master of persuasive speech. He not only mastered the chords of the human heart, but could also arouse and incite the will. Judged by effectiveness, he was a great preacher. He edified the saints and flashed the light of a new hope into the hearts of sinners. In every pastorate he added many to the church. In Wichita Falls he enrolled more than five hundred converts in one'year. He was a great pastor. He knew the art 'of shepherding. His flock believed in him.. They looked upon him as a friend. They carried to him their troubles and sought his advice. He responded to their needs. He loved them and they loved him. He gave himself to them and they responded with a like gift. He capitalized their love in a great leadership. It was beautiful as well as touching to see him moving among his' people with all the winsomeness of fatherly affection, and note their loyal and appreciative response. In all his pastorates he left a deep impress upon the hearts of the people. His work in the First Church of Fort Worth will long abide as that of a master workman. His labor among the soldiers at Camp Bowie will ever reflect honor upon him . as a patriot and lover of men. In his home he was a prince. He dispensed a royal hospitality. All found an abundant welcome. He had nothing for 50 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 'himself. He was an unselfish soul. His family trusted in him. He was their ideal man. It was his delight to serve them. And they in return gave him the unstinted loyalty and love of their hearts. It was a home beautified and sanctified by the atmosphere of self-sacrificing love. It seemed that he died too soon, but he lived long enough to achieve a work that is monumental and a character that shall shine in the hearts of a multitude like stars in the heavens of blue. F. P. CULV,ER. REV. M: H. MAJOR. Rev. Mathias Holland Major, son of John Wesley Major and Sarah Holland Major, was born in Anderson County, South Carolina, January 5, 1860. He was one of a family of fourteen children, seven girls and seven' boys. Under the training of his Christian father and mother he was converted when eight Years of age and joined the M. E. Church, South. In 1887, when he was only seventeen years of age, he was licensed to preach in the M. E. Church, South. Not feeling himself prepared to preach, he commenced a struggle at once for an education. For eight long years he applied himself to this long task, going to school and teaching alternately. He was a student in Wofford College, South Carolina. During this time he lost his arm while working in a cotton gin, but this did not dampen his purpose ~or arrest his p rogress. in 1885 he joined the South Carolina Conference. He was ordained by Bishop Keener. In 1890 he transferred to the Northwest Texas Conference. When the Conference was divided he retained his membership in the Central Texas Confer- ence. He served the following charges: Kerens, Blooming Grove, Itasca, Groesbeck, Joshua, Peach Street (Fort Worth), Blanket, Santa Anna, Granbury Mission, Kennedale, Blum and Rio Vista. He took a sup erannuated relation in 1913. He was married to Miss Alice Sitton of Anderson, South Carolina, September 15, 1886.Of this union there were born seven children—W. H. Major, Rev. Mrs. H. M. Ratliff, San Antonio; Rev. Mrs. P. E. Lancaster, Jonesboro; Towns Major, Dallas; Morton Major, Fort Worth; Frances S. Major and D. M. Major, Fort Worth. He was very ambitious for his sons and daughters, and n otwithstanding the fact that his salary was always small, he, with the co-operation of his faithful wife, by economy and p ainstaking care, gave his children good educational advantages. His death was a surprise and shock to his many friends. He had persons. been sick but a few days and his illness was known to but few While his wife was sitting by his bed on June 25, 1918, he suddenly passed away. Brother Major was a man of strong'conviction. He was sure of his conversion and his call to the ministry. The Bible to him was indeed the inspired word of God. He knew, loved and defended the Methodist doctrine and Discipline. He was devoted to his wife and children. He was a good husband and father. A good man has gone from us. May God comfort the widow and children and bring them at last where he is. W. H. MATHEWS. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 51 ROBERT BROWN MCSWAIN; Ph. D. In the opinion of all who knew him, Professor McSwain was a very remarkable man. He was a scholar of recognized ability while he was yet a young man. Disease seized upon him early, and after some years of suffering he died at the portals of middle life. Robert Brown McSwain was born at Falcon, Ark., July 20, 1875. Born of godly parents, he was baptized in infancy by Rev. F. M. Winburne. When he was four years old his parents moved to Emmet, Ark., where he lost his father in 1883. He enjoyed the inestimable blessing of having the careful training of a mother of culture and deep piety, and he joined the church at an early age. He soon after felt the call to the ministry and was licensed to preach when he was seventeen years old. He attended the public schools of his native State until he was fifteen years old, and afterwards entered Henderson-Brown College at Arkadelphia, Ark. He completed the courses required and graduated from this college in two years. From this college he went to Vanderbilt for his university work, and in two years' time he received both the M. A. and the B. D. degrees. He is remembered by his teachers and fellowstudents as a man of great capacity for work and remarkable brilliancy. It was at Vanderbilt University that he imbibed the missionary spirit and became an active worker in the Missionary Volunteer movement. He took great interest in all missionary. movements as long as he lived. In 1897, soon after he was 22 years old, he was elected to a professorship at Polytechnic College.-"$e gave eminent satisfaction in his work in this institution which he served for three years. He was made President of Polytechnic College in 1899 and acted in this capacity for one year. In the summer of 1900, or soon after he was 25 years old, he was elected Professor of Biblical Literatum at Southwestern University. He was peculiarly fitted for this field .of endeavor and entered upon this work with an enthusiasm that meant great success. He is remembered by the faculty of Southwestern University as a man of marvelous equipment in the languages and in those questions that touched his department, and the students under him looked- upon him as an inexhaustible source of ready and accurate information upon any question that might come up for their consideration. He was connected with Southwestern University when the Summer School of Theology was inaugurated and he was secretary of this school as long as he remained in Southwestern University. Some decided improvements were made in, the courses of required study, in revising and re-arrangment of the catalogue, as well as in entrance conditions while he was connected with Southwestern University and Professor McSwain had much to do with the . inspiration of this advance movement as well as with carrying it through. In the fall of 1904 he was offered the joint-Presidenc y of Epworth University in Oklahoma. He severed his relation with Southwestern to accept this position. He found this work delicate and onerous and his health, never robust, failed under the strain. After one year he found it necessary to, resign, and 52 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL he took nominal work in the Arkansas Conference for two years. His health improved very much under this change of employment. Having been given a Fellowship in Languages at the University of Chicago he spent the year 1906 in study at this institution. He was already familiar with many of the modern languages and his work at this institution was directed to Hebrew, Syriac and Sanscrit. Some of his work was under Dr. W. R. Harper, who recognized Professor McSwain's eminent genius and recommended him for special research work. One of his classmates there said that he made such progress in his studies that it was thought by the class that he must be doing review work, for while the rest of the class were struggling over the elements and fundamentals McSwain had already mastered all this and was going into the comparative philology of these languages. Subsequently, after two summer courses, he was given the Ph. D. degree by the University of Chicago. He served three diferent charges in the Central and West Texas Conferences. He was appointed to the Burnet charge in 1909, but in the spring of 1910 the white plague fastened its fangs so deeply in him that he was compelled to give up all active work. In 1911 he retired to San Angelo hoping to regain health in its favorable climate. Here his life has been a struggle with this fell disease. He passed away, somewhat unexpectedly, Octaber 8, 1918. Professor McSwain was married to his boyhood sweetheart, with whom he attended college at Arkadelphia, Miss Mary McKinnon, the daughter of an honored Methodist preacher, just before he entered upon his duties at Southwestern University, August 29, 1900. Mrs. McSwain was a choice spirit and a woman of -unusual culture and intelligence. She died at San Angelo several months ago. They left three children, doubly orphaned, who are living with relatives in San Marcos, Texas. Professor McSwain was a reader of great books; a close student, a clear thinker, a strong speaker, a good preacher, a warm-hearted friend. Had he been allowed to live in health, the ordinary span of life, he would have occupied an eminent place in the intellectual world. REVEREND W. H. HOWARD.. While it is a sad duty, I feel it is an honor to have the privilege of presenting to this Conference the Memoir of Rev. W. H. Howard. He was born near Louisville, Kentucky. His father came from north Ireland. His mother was a native of Kentucky. He was a third child, two sisters . older and three brothers younger. He was reared on a farm and attended the country schools and high school at the town of Jefferson. He did much of his academic work in Forest Academy, Anchorage, Kentucky. In early manhood he was converted and joined the church, to which he gave his life of sacrifice and labor. He was licensed to preach in the year 1879 or 80, by Quarterly Conference Middletown Circuit, David Morton, Presiding Elder, and Gross Alexander, Pastor. Brother Howard entered Vanderbilt University in the autumn of 1880, and was graduated CENTRAL TEXAS'CONFERENCEJOURNAL 53 from the Biblical Department in 1882. That fall he returned for a post-graduate course. September, 1883 _ he was admitted on trial into the Louisville Conference. Rev.~George Needham, who had transferred from the Louisville Conference to the Denver Conference, . was at the session of that Conference, looking for preachers to go west. The need of men for the mission work of the Denver Conference appealed to Brother Howard, and he transferred to that Conference. He remained there eighteen years, which was longer than any other man ever stayed. Bishop McTyerie, who held the Louisville Conference, protested against young Howard's going to the Denver Conference, and said he was a young man too promising to be sent out to be killed. The year 1883-4 he was pastor at Farmington, N. M., where he built the first Methodist Church, in San Juan County, N. M. In 1884-5 was placed on Mancos Circuit, which embraced Mancos, Ft. Lewis, an army post, and Rico, a mining camp. He was ordained deacon at Trinidad, Colorado, July 18, 1885, by Bishop Hargrove. He was ordained elder at Las Vegas, July 30, 1887, by Bishop Hendrix. January, 1885, Brother Howard was stationed at Rico, and remained until Conference and the two following years. At Durango, Colorado, he was married to Miss Lizzie Wigglesworth, July 7, 1886. He was stationed, as follows in the Denver Conference: Denver City, Morrison Memorial ....................1887-88 LasVegas, N.

He was sent as a delegate from the Denver Conference to the historic Missionary Conference held at New Orleans, 1901.

As a friend, he could not be surpassed. When he knew an individual was his friend, every ounce of his warm, Irish blood would surge through his big heart, thrilling his whole being with delight. If you did not know him intimately, you would 54 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL not think that he hungered, even craved, for the friendship and love of his brethren. With this burning desire, he never imposed himself on others, or expressed his love and sympathy for them as he really felt, lest they might question his sincerity. For this reason, he failed to be known so well and appreciated as was due him.* He did not have even enough policy to make him the popular man that he so richly deserved to be. His home life was beautiful, and his relation as husband and father was patterned after the divine ordering. He was solicitous for his wife's comfort and happiness; and much of his deepest anxiety was occasioned because of her having so many hours of work to aid him in caring for the welfare of the home and the church. His love for his four excellent daughters, and his ambition for their educaticn_ -Mnd—his deep desire for their devotion to God, and the making of beautiful characters, was measured by his sacrifices for their highest and purest attainments. If he ever seemed severe in dealing with his church, it was because of his intense anxiety for her consistency and usefulness. He was always ready, day.and night, to serve his people, and his constancy as pastor knew no limits. His great heart of natural sympathy and tenderness, gave him unusual access to the homes of the bereaved. Brother Howard was after 'the fathers in his conviction of right and wrong, knowing no compromise with questionable worldliness. The poetic, the beautiful, the sublime and sacred things swept over his soul with the harmony of an Aeolian harp. . The trials incident to the life of a father and minister lay heavily upon him, and sometimes almost crushed his soul. But the great promises of .God gave him comfort, in the darkest hours, and he thus anchored his soul in the haven of rest, riding safely the billows, trusting the promise of Phil. 4:19, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches'in glory by Christ Jesus." I have never heard anyone say that his sermons were too long. His mind was naturally quick and strong, and actively trained to think in sermonic order. He never wrote a sermon; except those required by his Conference, and rarely if ever made notes br headings for his sermons on paper. But the best homiletic arrangements of his messages flowed through his mind like a river in its accustomed channel. On Sunday before he went away, he told his congregation that the gospel he preached to them had saved and kept him, and, it would do the same for them, if they would obey. His companion for thirty-two years says, two things he never doubted: his conversion and call to preach. His last sermon was on the Reality of the Spiritual. In that discourse he said that the spiritual was as real to him as this natural world. One of his hymns of meditation that he would often repeat was an index to his-heart's desire: "0 for a faith that will net shrink, Tho pressed by every foe; That will not tremble on the brink Of any earthly woe! CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 55 "That will not murmur nor complain Beneath the chastening rod, But, in the hour of grief or pain, .Will lean upon its God. "A faith that shines more bright and clear. When tempests rage without; That when in danger knows no fear, In darkness feels no doubt. "That bears, unmoved, the world's dread frown, Nor heeds its scornful smile; That seas of trouble cannot drown, Now Satan's arts beguile. "A faith that keeps the narrow way Till life's last hour is fled, And with a pure and heavenly ray . Lights up a dying bed. "Lord, give me such a faith as this, And then, whate'er may come, I'll taste, e'en now, the hallowed bliss Of an eternal home." At the last, he felt resigned to the fates of life as they have come, and to the sure mercies of God for His WHITEHhome. REV. HENRYANFORD. morning, October 19, 1918, Rev. Henry Stanford Saturday breathed his last, the victim of Spanish influenza, war's twin evil. He fell at his post, pastor of the Methodist Church at Taylor. His was the glorious end of the soldier in action— "Ceased at once to work and live." Henry Stanford was the son of Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Stanford and grandson of Rev. Thomas Stanford, a charter member of old Northwest Texas Conference. He was born in McLennan County, Texas, February 6, 1881, and reared on the farm amid the happy, inspirin g scenes of rural life. His parents gave him a college education. These country Methodists of the true Wesleyan type believed in Christian education, and in educating their children in church schools. With them a call to preach meant a call to prepare their son for the ministry. Henry, the same as the other children, was sent to Southwestern University, where, after four years of hard study, he took his A. B. degree in. 1905. The next year he entered Vanderbilt University, where he took his B. D. degree in 1909. Few preachers of the South-. ern Methodist Church have been better equippdd to preach the Gospel, or more efficient in the work of the church than Henry Stanford. He was a close student to the day of his death,reading the best books and current literature, and doing his own thinking pard,awere thoughtful, d instructive and at times, sublimely inspiring. This preacher, like Gipsy Smith and Bishop Marvin, Paul and Silas, had the rare gift to sing the Gospel into men's hearts 56 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL as well as preach it to their intellects. As a sweet singer in Israel he ministered to his own c ongregations, led the singing for brother pastors and e member of the famous V vangelists, and for some time was a anderbilt Quartet, which was in demand for great occasions and sang to the delight of thousands. The Churches that had this man for their pastor, with his accomplished wife, and her wonderful voice, were thrice blessed. Brother Henry Stanford, as a member of the Central Texas Conference, was recognized as a coming man, capable of the best of any kind of service. For the past four years he had been an efficient Assistant Secretary of the Conference. He is greatly missed by the Secretarial Staff, indeed by all of the brethren and a large circle of friends. Brother Stanford's career as a Christian and Christ an minister began with his conversion and uniting with the Methodist Church at Spring Valley, when only eight years of age, and his license to preach at Moody in 1901. He joined the Northwest Texas Conference in 1910 and was assigned to Line Street Church, Hillsboro. Next year his app ointments were first, Handley, and later Monterey, Mexico. While missionary at Monterey Brother Stanford served in the double capacity of pastor of the Methodist c ongregation and President of Laurens Institute. Owing to disturbed conditions in the Republic in 1912, he transferred back to the Central Texas Conference, and at its session that fall was stationed at Kerens. After this, his app ointments were as follows: Frost, two years; Rogers, two years and Taylor, one year and eleven months. Why days of one so capable and needed so much in these stirring reward, ard, is beyond our kno v edge. The M Master nows l and t what He does is for the best. In 1913-14, during his pastorate at Frost, Rev. Henry Stanford was happily married to Miss Fay Fleming, of Mount Vernon. This union resulted in two children; the baby girl preceded the father to the palace not made with hands, and Henry Jr., the boy, remains as the comfort and joy of the g rief-stricken mother. The writer knew our deceased brother intimately, and greatly ap preciated his many manly virtues and his lofty Christian character. He was gentle and refined as a woman, chivalrous and courageous as a knight, and loyal to the church and his Lord as martyr or apostle. It was the easy, natural thing for him to be a Christian from his youth up, and to become a traveling Methodist preacher. His unfeigned Methodist faith dwelt alike in his parents and g rand-parents. From infancy he lived in the atmosphere of the Christian home, associated with religious people, and knew nothing else than to attend Sunday School, and upon the ordinances of the Church. The visions, the hopes and the purposes of life were born in his heart under the evangelical ministry of Methodist preachers and in ev angelistic services of the Church. Rooted and grounded in the doctrine held by the people called Methodists, he kept the faith, finished the course, and, we believe, now wears the Crown of Everlasting Life. JOHN R. NELSON. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 57 / MEMOIR OF MRS. C. G. SHUTT. Mrs. Mollie Shutt, the daughter of Sam and Margaret Gray, was born near Mt. Pleasant, Tennessee, June 14, 1861. She professed religion and joined the Methodist Church in childhood. She remained in Tennessee until she married Rev. C. G. Shutt, who was a'member of the Northwest Texas Conference prior to its division. The marriage occurred on the 15th day of September, 1881. This union resulted in the birth of three children, towit: Sam Horace, Claude Armstrong and Bennie Lee, all of whom, with her husband, are left to mourn their loss. Sister Shutt was well equipped for the duties of an itinerant's wife. She possessed a well-developed physique so that she was strong, active and healthy, and able to act her part in life's drama. She made the parsonage attractive to her own family, the visiting preacher and other visiting friends. The writer can testify from personal experience that it was a great pleasure to share the abounding hospitality of that Christian home. Her mind was well poised and she improved the opportunities of developing it so that she possessed an accumulation of practical knowledge which rendered her efficient in all the relations of life. Her disposition was the embodiment of amiableness. Around her clustered the family group for inspiration for the work of life. The effect of her optimistic and cheerful spirit was not confined to her own. family, but was appreciated by all with whom she came in contact. Her devotion to her husband and children was marked by her Christian deportment in meeting the varied details of life. Her friendship was strong and abiding. In early childhood she began her Christian career and during life held tenaciously to the truths of our holy religion. So that as time passed she developed those enobling Christian virtues which constitute a strong and well-rounded character which commanded the respect and love of those who knew her. She loved the Church and was devoted to its interest. As life advanced and the responsibilities of home lessened as the children had grown to maturity, she became a . very active worker among the young people. She drew them to her, and through her to the Savior. She shared with her husband all the hardships and privations of an itinerant life in sweet resignation; uncomplainingly pressing forward along all lines of duty. She bore. her last illness with that Christian fortitude that characterized her past life. On the 22nd of November, 1917, in the city of Waco, Texas, her weary body went to sleep, while her immortal spirit joined the happy throng on the blissful shores of a glorious immortality. Her bereft husband and children know where to find her, and are following in her wake in anticipation of a glorious reunion "over there." We, her friends, join them in saying, peace be to her dust until the resurrection morn when we shall greet and gratulate each other in our Father's House not made with hands. R. C. ARMSTRONG. t 58 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL MRS. MARY ELLEN NOBLE. Sister Mary Ellen Noble (nee Briggs) was born in Lead Hill, Arkansas, March 23, 1872. Being , born in a Christian home, it was but natural that she should give her heart to God in early life. So at thirteen years of age she was happily converted under the ministry of-Rev. S. F. Dykes. August 1, 1898, she was married to Rev. W. W. Noble, then a member of the Arkansas Conference. To this union was born three ch ildren—Ruth, Agnes and .Paul Noble—who, with the father, still feel the loss of a kind and affectionate mother and companion. Sister Noble spent eighteen years of her married life in the p arsonage. Ten years of this was spent in the Arkansas Conference. In 1908 she came with her hu;.band to Texas, where for eight years more she continued with her husband in the active work. In 1915, Brother Noble's health having given away, it became necessary for him to take a su p erannuate relation. About a year later they came to Oran, Texas, to make their home in the little su p erannuate home given and furnished by the people of Graford charge. And here, about a year later, the spirit was released, from the tired body and went home to God. Sister Noble was never strong p hysically. Her life, as the companion of an itinerant preacher was almost entirely on the charges where the support was often very meagme, and her work as a home-maker was often under.the most difficult conditions. But like the real heroines of the parsonage, she met bravely its conflicts. After Brother Noble's super annuation, the first year of which _was spent under very trying cir cumstances, her faith in God did not waver. She was very grateful to God and the Church for the little home provided for her family, in which she spent the last years of her life. During her last illness it was a blessing to my life as a pastor to visit her. She was perfectly resigned to the will of God. Weary and tired in body, but strong in faith. She patiently waited for the summons to call her home. With the CIO Sing of the day, December 12, 1918, her gentle spirit winged its way to God. The following day we laid her body to rest in the Oran cemetery to await the r esurrection of the just. Her pastor, 0. A. MORTON. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 59 Reports of Boards BOARD OF MISSIONS REPORT NO. 1. To the Bishop and Members of the Central Texas Conference: Dear Brethren: Your Board would submit this, its report: We rejoice that our church approaches the Centenary in such a crisis in the world's history as this. To meet the demands of the hour, she purposes a Centenary offering of $35; 000,000. At the supreme hour at Chateau Thierry, when the noble brave sons of Uncle Sam went "over the top," the pendulum of the .world swung toward the right, the tide of battle turned, the dastardly Hun turned pale, sickened and is dying. Autocracy is being laid in the grave to sleep forever. The shrill cry of the American Eagle, over its grave, bids the world be free; Old Glory waves in supreme victory, while hard by, the Union Jack and the purple, white and red, and flags of all allies, wave in breezes of freedom. The price has been great, our boys with missing limbs and impaired bodies will come back. In many a home of layman and preacher a chair will remain vacant through the coming years. Our sons sleep the sleep that only the angels can wake them from. But they died for the greatest cause ever to make the world free. To your closets and to your knees, 0 Host of the living God! Linger then with a clear vision of world needs until your heart is aflame with the task of making the world holy, as millions have died to make it free. If a million fervent intercessors wait before God, we shall also have everything else we desire. Then shall we also have an host who recognize their relation to God of Stewards. Our Heavenly Father shall be a. real partner in their life plan of time, money and talents. Then, and not until then, shall we bring the tithes into His storehouse; therefore, your Board offers for your adoption as follows: Be. it resolved by the Central Texas Conference, That we heartily adopt the plan of the Centenary Commission and cheerfully .accept our allotment of $1,345,431.40 to be raised in five years. Resolved further, That we increase our allotment $4,568.60 and set ourselves to the task of raising $1,350,000. REPORT OF BOARD OF MISSIONS NO. 2. To the Bishop and Members of the Central Texas Conference: Your Board is pleased to report that, notwithstanding the hindrances from drouth, war work and epidemic, still good success has attended the work in the Conference. Excellent results are noted in all departments, but especially is this true of Specials. In 1915 we raised $2,288 for Foreign Specials, the next year $5,736, and in 1917 $9,910. And this year Specials have been assigned for more than $15,000. Our Home Secretary, Dr. 0. E. Goddard, is authority for the statement that the Central Conference leads the church in Horne Specials. The statistics furnished by the Woman's Mission Society 60 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL indicates that on two hundred adult societies with a membership of 4,223. Young people societies, 34; against 46 last year. (Membership 800). And by children societies against 141 last year. (Membership 2,790). Total funds raised this year $23,102.72. Last year, $20,400. Since the Conference has already adopted hearty endorsement of the Centenary plan and pledged to raise more money than our allotment. Let us also fix as our goal 10,000 tithers in our Conference in 1919 and all our people in the Fellowship of Intercession. On the assessment for Foreign Missions, $20,850, there has been paid $16,876.99. And on the assessment of $6,672 for Home Missions there has been paid $5,506. On the assessment of $20,000 for Conference Missions there has been paid $16,509. The amount assessed for Conference Missions for 1919 is $24,000. Paid: Foreign Missions Special, $10,183.95; Home Missions Special, $4,468.17; Conference Missions, $548.59. We would recommend the following as Conference Evangelists and request their appointment: J. T. Bloodworth,. J. A. Dozier. We recommend the following local preacher evangelists: J. W. Bowden, A. P. Lowery, T. N. Lowery, A. C. Fisher. For Y. M. C. A. work: J. V. Baird. J. E. Crawford was elected Missionary evangelist for the Centenary and his appointment to the work requested.

Increase on Assessments. In 1915 our Conference paid $14,668 for Foreign Missions on an assessment of $20,824, or 69 per cent, and $19,361 for Home and Conference Missions on an assessment of $26,541, or 72 per cent. In 1916, the first year of our educational policy, we paid $17,011 for Foreign- Missions on an assessment of $20,842, or 81 per cent—an increase of $2,543; and $22,064 for Home and Conference Missions on an assessment of $26,675, or 82 per cent —an increase of $2,703. In 1917, the second year of our policy, we paid $17,405 for Foreign Missions on an assessment of $20; 850, or 82 per cent—an increase of $2,937 over 1915; and for Home and Conference Missions, $22,605 on an assessment of $26,672, or 84 per cent—an increase of $3,244 over 1915. In 1918 we paid $16,877 for Foreign Missions on an assessment of 62 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL $20,850, or 80 per cent—an increase of $2,209 over 1915; and for Home and Conference Missions, $22,015 on an assessment of $26,672, or 82 per cent—an increase of $2,654 over 1915. No. Drafts for Interest. Last Conference year was the first in many years through which our Conference Board has passed without having to borrow pmoney. Again this year the Board has met every obligation romptly tressing, drouth.without paying a cent of interest, despite the disGrowth in Specials. The Specials reported from all sources, except Woman's Work, in 1915 amount to $2,288. The Specials from the same sources in 1916 totaled $5,736, an increase of $3,448. In 1917 the Specials grew to $9,910, an increase of $7,622 over 1915. The year 1918 has been one not only of continued seed-sowing, but of larger frui t-gathering. The Specials for this year exceed the total for both 1916 and 1917. As a consequence of our program of definite missionary education there has been a remarkable growth in the number of assigned Specials. In 1916 only four charges, not counting Woman's Work, carried assigned Specials, and in 1917 only six charges, while this year foursevenths of the charges of the Conference are entitled to a place on the Missionary Honor Roll because of special assignments. More than $15,000 have been assigned to Districts, Churches . i ndividuals. Aside from Woman's Sundaychols,e Work there was only one living link being carried by our Conference three years ago; now we have 37 living links, ranging from $100 to $1,200. Central Texas Conference leads the church in Herne Mission Specials and in the number and amount of ,Regular Specials definitely assigned. The Centenary. It seems fortunate for us as we stand on the eve of the great Centenary celebration that for the past three years we have been engaged in a campaign of special missionary cultivation in the bounds of our Conference. The methods of intercession and education on stewardship outlined as fundamental to the success of the Centenary Movement have been the lines of approach pursued by your Secretary in prosecuting the duties of the office to which he has been a p pointed. The tide of interest in missionary intercession has been gradually rising. From a few faithful has g praying souls at the start the number of intercessors rown into the hundreds. Many pastors have already preached on Prayer and . Missions and enrolled many of their members in the Fellowship of Intercession. It is gratifying to note the new and larger and expanding interest in stewardship. Sermons and messages on this important theme are much more frequent, and the duty of tithing is being brought home to the consciences of our people. Tithing rolls and clubs are springing up here and there over the Conference. One district, the Cisco, has already launched the movement for tithing -stewards; and p roposes to secure its full quota of the million called for by the .Joint Centenary Commission. To date 200 have been secured. Rising Star has enrolled30 tithers, Mart 37, Hillsboro 60, and the Jonesboro Circuit has enrolled 90. A woman on this CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 63 circuit, who paid $2.50 on the benevolences last year, pledged to tithe and paid $50 this y ear. A school teacher by tithing raised her contribution from $7 to $48. Bro. Courts Cleveland, of Acton, was prospered in a business transaction and decided to invest his tithe in the support of a missionary. He was assigned Rev. A. L. Dyer, of Japan, whose salary is $1,150. It is encouraging to observe. that two of our pastoral charges—Gra n -buryCictandRge—hCntarysdhi year in the amount of their contributions to Missions. Requests for Specials for next year to count on our Centenary allotment have already begun to come in. Auburn and Maypearl Sunday Schools on the Maypearl Circuit have each asked for a native worker. Breckenridge has asked for a Chinese circuit at $500. Bro. Elisha Roper of Pleasant Grove, on the Staff charge, has pledged $2,500 for the first year of the Centenary period and has asked for a Special in every field of our church. One tbouFand dollars of this amount has been paid. It is his purpose, if he lives and continues to prosper, to keep all these Specials gong through the five years, which will be $12,500, and add to them if possible. Brother and S ster R. M. Davenport of Ranger have requested a similar list of Specials at $2,500 which they plan to carry through the Centenary period and indefinitely if their income permits. These are prophecies of the coming of a fuller and brighter day for Miss o ns in Central Texas. To the end that the sun of this day ma y b»-, Pt in glory upon us on the occasion of the hundredth anni — r-ary of the birth of American Methodist Missions. may we call the entire membership of our Conference to their knees; may we faithfully proclaim the principles pertaining to the proper use of property, setting as our goal not less than 10; 000 tithing-stewards in the ensuing year; and may we carefully instruct our people on the conditions and needs of the world at home and abroad? For building upon the foundation of intercession, Christian stewardship, and missionary intelligence we can surely erect a magnificent Centenary structure. To this worthy task let us all dedicate our lives. J. E. CRAWFORD. REPORT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION. To the President and Members of the Central Texas Conference, M. E. C. S., 1918: Dear Fathers and Brethren: We, your Board of Education, respectfull y submit the following report: We have had before us communications from the Corresponding Secretary of the General Conference Board of Education and from the Secretary of the Department of Ministerial Supply and Training, and of Religious Education. These communications call the attention of the Conference to the general progress of our educational .work and to the legislation concerning our educational interests enacted by the recent General Conference. We rejoice to note that during the past quadrennium about $8,000,000 was added to the assets of the educational institutions of our Church. The General Conference created a department of Religious Education, and the duties of the Secretary of this department 64 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL were given to the.Secretary of Ministerial Supply and Training. One of the functions of the Department of Religious Education is to care for the religious interests of Methodist students in State institutions of learning. The General Conference made provision also for a Commission on Religious Education for each State, "composed of two or three members nominated by the Board of Education of each of the Annual Conferences, in the State, and elected by the Annual Conferences to serve at least four years," "for the purpose of providing, for the religious education of Methodist students in schools maintained by the State." The General Conference ordered two campaigns in the interest of our educational institutions to be conducted during the present q uadrennium. The first is a campaign to raise $10-, 000,000 for our two universities, to be inaugurated during the quadrennium. The second is a campaign tofirstyeaoh raise $13,000,000 for the other educational institutions of our church, this campaign to be conducted during the last two years of the q uadrennium. Your Board recommends that as a Conference we give hearty co-operation to both of these campaigns. The General Conference authorized the or ganization of a Methodist Educational Association. This association was org anized at Lake Junaluska in July, 1918. The constitution provides that the Conference Boards of Education, as well as institutions of learning of the church, shall hold membership in the A ssociation. Your Board has elected J. W. Bergin and Judge T. L. McCullough as its rep resentatives to attend the next meeting of the Association, their expenses to be provided out of the funds of the Board. Your Board has before it reports from the trustees of the following i nstitutions: Southern Methodist University, Southwestern University, Texas Woman's College, Meridian College and Weatherford College. Southern Methodist University. The total enrollment of students in this institution for the year 1917-18 was 1,012, not counting duplicates. At the present time about 300 of its young men are members of the Student Army Training Corps. In the student body of last year there were 98 young men preparing for the ministry. The General Conference has established at Southern Methodist University a correspondence school for the purpose of giving instruction in the Conference course of study to the preachers in the western section of our church. Prof. J. L. Cunninggim has been placed in charge of this important department of the University. A special announcement from Southern Methodist University calls attention to certain. courses of instruction to be given each year during the first ten days of the summer term of the School of Theology. Lectures will be offered on the Conference course of study for u ndergraduates and for those seeking admission into the Annual Conference. The conferences of Texas and Oklahoma are invited to co-operate in this work by encouraging their young preachers to attend and by arranging to send a number of their best trained men to deliver lectures on the course of study. The University suggests that each Annual Conference provide for the payment of the expenses of a limited number of lecturers. The University announces that a suffi- CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL . 65 ciently large sum of money has been set aside from the income of the School of Theology to provide for the bringing to the University each year of a number of representative men from other states and institutions who will present to all our preachers a discussion of such subjects as are of vital interest to the church of today. Southwestern University. During the year 1917-18 this institution enrolled 577 students, of whom 302 were students in the college during the regular session and 178 were enrolled in the Summer School of Theology. While this shows a considerable falling off in patronage, it is attributable largely to the distressing drought and to the war. Military training has now been installed through the agency of the Student Army Training . Corps, and the outlook for an average number of students for the ensuing year is exceedingly bright. Texas Woman's College. This institution is the only class A Methodist Woman's College west of the Mississippi River. During the session 1917-18 there were 441 students in attendance on Texas Woman's College, and the indications are that the attendance for the present year will reach approximately 500. The plant is valued at $400,000. Foi the past four years the income of the college has been equal to its expenses. We are glad to report that the institution is now owned by the five Texas Conferences, each having accepted joint ownership of the property and appointed trustees to the number-of 25. Meridian College. This institution now reports an enrollment of 273 students, this being the largest enrollment that it has ever had at this time of year. Of these, 233 are literary students, 141 being of college grade, and approximately 100 members of the Student Army Training Corps. During the past year a new brick dormitory has been. erected at a cost of $20,000, and one of the old dormitories considerably enlarged and remodeled. Other material improvements have been. made. The college now has accommodations for 200 boarding students. The plant is worth $120,000, and insurance to the amount of $80,000 is carried. The present indications are that the institution will make its running expenses this year; but there is a deficit from former years that must be met. Weatherford College. In spite of adverse conditions, the enrollment in this institution for the present year is slightly greater than it was at the same time last year. In addition to the usual literary subjects, the institution now offers a commercial course and a course in military training. The finances of the institution seem to be carefully managed. We nominate for your election the following: Trustees of Southwestern University: E. Hightower, J. R. Morris. 66 CENTRAI. TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL - Trustees of Texas Woman's College: Ocie Speer, W. F. White, P. G. Dedman; I. H. Burney, Ben J. Tiller, C. H. Harris, W. H. Matthews, H. A. Boaz, Frank D. Boyd. Trustees of Weatherford College: E. Hightower, J. N. McCain, W. W. Moss, L. A. Webb, I. W. Stephens, G. A. Holland, T. F. Temple, H. F. Leach, W. W. McCrary, Geo. C. Poston, Phil Simmons,, E. A. Camp, and A. D. Porter. Conference Secretary of Education: J. W. Bergin. Religious Education Commission: C. M. Bishop and W. S. Rowland. We request our presiding Bishop to make the following appointments: Southern Methodist University: H. M. Dobbs, Dean of the Theological Department. Southwestern University: C. M. Bishop, President. Meridian College: G. F. Winfield, President. Texas Woman's College: J. D. Young, President; E. V. Cox, Commissioner. 'Student in Southern Methodist University: R. L. Butler. We believe that the Church of Jesus Christ, and especially that branch of the church called Methodism, now faces an era of unprecedented opportunity. We believe that a more adequate equipment and maintenance of our educational institutions is absolutely necessary if the church is to prove equal to its opportunity. But in view of the present high prices, otlr institutions can not be maintained even up to past standards without a considerable increase in their incomes. Therefore your Board recommends the following assessments for the cause of education: Southern Methodist University ....:......:................................$ 8,750.00 Southwestern University ---------- -...... -----------------------------------9,750.00 Texas Woman's College---------------------- ................. ------------- 8,000.00 1,700.00 MeridianCollege ----------------- : ------------------------------------------------1,000.00 Weatherford College ..................-----------------------------------------Bible Chair, University of Texas ........................................ 400.00 Summer School of Theology, Southwestern University 250.00 Summer.

Hightower, President; W. S. Roland, Vice-President; T. E. Bowman, Secretary; W. A. Crow, Treasurer. We heartily and sincerely appreciate the interest this Conference has taken in the Sunday School work in the past.. Beginning with a new quadrennium we plead for increased interest in every department of this important field of service. The Sunday Schools with all the other interests of the church have suffered because of the great war. There will necessarily be a lot of construction work to be done. Let's plan it all on broader lines and with larger hopes. We gladly accept the legislation given us by the General Conference, and because of it we feel that we can better meet the present and pressing demands for modern Sunday School work. We commend our Sunday School editor and his corps of assistants on the character of the literature they are giving us, and for their efforts to make ours the best literature to be found anywhere. Your board is very much gratified that one of the members of this Conference, Rev. E. Hightower, is one of the commanding figures of the General Sunday School Board. Feeling the need for aggressive work, , and knowing the importance of having someone whose business it is to push the work, the board unanimously elected Rev. R. F. Brown to the position of Conference Field Secretary, and we request the Bishop to appoint him to said position. Because of her fitness for the work, the board unanimously elected his wife, Mrs. R. F. Brown, without salary, to the position of Superintendent of the Elementary Division. With this team in the, field we see no reason our Conference should not do big things this year through the Sunday School. In behalf of these faithful workers we suggest that the Presiding Elders with Bro. Brown plan the Sunday School work in their districts and invite them into their fields, thus giving them and their work prestige and influence.We merely call attention of the pastors to the requirements of the Discipline touching "Sunday School Day," "Missions in the Sunday School," etc., and we urge that all, these policies be .carried out as far as possible. Your board stands ready at all times to render every assistance possible for the Sunday School work throughout our Conference this year. Respectfully submitted, E. HIGHTOWER, T. E. BOWMAN. REPORT OF THE EPWORTH• LEAGUE BOARD. Your Epworth League Board has had before it the President of the Central Texas Conference League, Mr. Roy T. Feemster, who gives us a splendid report of the work under his leadership.. Several districts show an increase in number of chapters, 68 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 0 although many of our young men have been called away to serve in. the army and navy. The Assistant Secretary of the General Epworth League Board brings us an encouraging report of the work being done by the Leaguers over the entire church. During the past quadrennium the Leaguers raised for missions and other objects the sum of $438,000. A program of war work was undertaken by the League when our country entered the war. Each Y. M. C. A. building in America receives two copies of the Epworth Era each month and 100 copies are sent each month to France. We would call attention to the following items which are of interest to this Conference: 1. The recent General Conference increased both the importance and duties of the Conference League Board, charging them with overseeing the Conference League work, emphasizing Anniversary Day and the forwarding of League work in the district, city and local organizations. 2. The General Conference fixed the second Sunday in May as Anniversary Day. This is to be observed by Leagues and by churches where there are no Leagues. 3. The centenary goal for the League is $380,000, $200,000 for the advance program in Africa, $100,000 for the building program for Paine College, and $80,00 for the regular budget. In addition to this the League proposes to furnish 200 of the 500 volunteers. 4. We recommend that time be given the representatives of the League Board in *each District Conference. 5. General Conference has placed the Epworth League on the same basis as other interests, the central office to receive 1 1/ °I of all moneys received on the general assessment. 6. We urge the co-operation of the pastors in State League work and the encampment at Port O'Connor: 7. We recommend that Rev. Ralph E. Nollner be appointed by the Bishop presiding over this Conference as Assistant Secretary of the General Epworth League Board. THOS. BARCUS, President, H. L. MUNGER, Secretary.

CREED, President, K. P. BARTON, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CHRISTIAN LITERATURE. Your Committee on Christian Literature beg leave to submit the following report: We believe that the religious press, more than - ever before, is highly essential to the spirit of unity both in our faith and practice as a church. and one of the most powerful agencies for the dissemination of knowledge and social understanding. We cannot insist too strongly, therefore; upon its better equipment and larger use. The Christian Advocate, our general organ, maintains a high position among church periodicals and is worthy of a much larger circulation among our people. The Methodist Review ranks favorable with the best magazines of the type and should be in many more homes of our preachers and many more of our, leading laymen. The Epworth Era is attractive in form, is well edited and indispensable to the highest development of our Leagues. Our Sunday School literature has no superior in its class and is much better for our Sunday Schools than any other denominational, private or interdenominational literature inthe world. Under the editorship of Dr. A. J. Weeks, we are confident that our own Texas Christian Advocate will not fall below its former high quality. We commend our new editor to the church and urge all our pastors to put the Advocate into all our Methodist homes as a religious and denominational inspiration to our people. Respectfully submitted, H. C. BOWMAN, Chairman. C. L. BROWNING, Secretary. 72 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL REPORT OF THE AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY. To the Bishop and Members of the Central Texas Annual Conference M. E. Church, South, Mineral Wells, Texas. Dear Brethren: Whether it be in peace or war, the Bible is the most sought after book in the world. In the war just closed more than three million army Scriptures were issued and more than a million khaki bound Testatements were donated outright by the American Bible Society to the soldiers through the army chaplains, camp pastors and Y. M. C. A. secretaries. And now comes the request by the army "Y" for a second million. The two million boys "over there" have had the misfortune to lose their Testaments, or rather to have them destroyed in battle. It is well known that with the best care the life of a Testament in the trenches is very short. And now as the world faces the problem of reconstruction, the demand comes for Bibles. The book must go into the foundation of the new world if it is to be fashioned aright, and it should be our great joy to supply this book to the many new republics which are being patterned after our own. Already our presses are busy in preparation for these great events. You will be pleased to know that again the Southwestern agency leads the other home agencies in the matter of Bible distribution, being the only one to make a gain last year. The total distribution reached more than 221,000 volumes of Scripture in thirty languages. The last General Conference fixed the American Bible Society's pro rata of the general budget of finances for the whole church at 3 per cent and the matter of assessment will be announced by your Committee of Finance later. However, we recommedd that special voluntary offerings be taken whenever practicable in every one of our congregations to help cover the cost of the second million khaki Testatements now being manufactured for the boys in France. They will need the book more than ever now, since the temptation to moral relaxation is the more subtle and severe. M. A. TURNER JNO. M. NEAL, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE AND SOCIAL SERVICE. Dear Fathers and Brethren: Your Committee on Temperance and Social Service met November 21st and organized by electing John R. Nelson chairman and J. W. Head secretary and begs leave to submit the following report: The Central Texas Conference, together with other Texas Annual Conferences, supports the Rescue Home located at San Antonio. Last year 102 girls and women passed through this Home and there were placed by means of this Christian agency 19 babies in good private homes. Property has been improved during the year to the amount of $2,146.35, all of which has been paid. The current expenses were $4,004.93, which have been met in full.. On the assessment of $1,500 on this Conference in 1917 there was realized $1,103. Your committee recommends the same assessment of $1,500 for the ensuing Conference year. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 73 Your committee notes with pleasure the social service of the war work agencies, both among the soldiers and their families. The Methodist Church, South, has met her responsibilities and has entered the open door by doing her part in ministering to human needs in the days of want and destitution. As a Conference, we have special pride in the work done in our Methodist tabernacles and local churches and in the Good Cheer Cottage operated by Methodist women. Following the war, the days of reconstruction will present many and grave social . problems. The leadership and activities of our church, with the other agencies for good, will be taxed to the utmost. It is a time for serious thought, broad vision and renewed consecration in order to conserve the best of the past and enter upon the new era of the world's civilization. Your committee feels constrained to call attention to the' inadequate support of traveling Methodist preachers. The salaries of the large majority of these men of God have never been in proportion to the service rendered, nor sufficient for the proper maintenance of their families. In recent years the price of living has advanced 1.00 per cent, while the salaries of preachers have been advanced not more than 10 "per cent. At the present time the wages of day laborers are larger than the remuneration paid by most of our charges. A number of the brethren are making a brave fight to do the work of the church on the meager support afforded. In the past some having become financially involved, have located in order to meet their just obligations; others today are oppressed and worried'by the constant struggle to do the work of the ministry and at the same time support a dependent family. The situation is serious and is affecting the spiritual life of the church. No less an authority than the Apostle Paul taught the doctrine of the reciprocity of things spiritual and temporal. In the economy of the Methodist Church the support of traveling preachers is entirely in the hands of the stewards of the uharges they serve. These laymen of the church have both the making and the raising of salaries of pastors and presiding elders. Therefore, we appeal to the stewards of the various pastoral charges and districts of the Central Texas Conference to provide.for a more liberal support for the men of God who minister unto them in spiritual things. Your committee respectfully suggests that in making the assessment for the support of the pastors following this Conference, the stewards take into account the increased cost of living and the advanced wages and salaries of other classes of men. The Central Texas Conference has been honored by the election of one of its members, the Rev. Atticus Webb, as State Superintendent of the Anti-Saloon League of Texas. We pledge Brother Webb and his administration our hearty co-operation in this continuous endeavor to have our prohibition laws enforced and to rid the State of the last remains of the liquor traffic. The Anti-Saloon League, supported by Protestant churches, has been the leading factor in bringing about State and Nation-wide prohibition. It has been a matter of deep regret that the Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas has held that statutory prohibition is unconstitutional. The question of the constitutionalit y of this State statute will also be passed upon by the Supreme Court 74 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL of Texas. In the meantime, Attorney General Looney, with characteristic ability, zeal and effectiveness, by injunction and court proceedings, has succeeded in preventing saloons from opening and plying their nefarious business. With the constitutionality of statutory prohibition called in question, it is most important that a constitutional prohibition amendment be written into the law of the State of Texas. Therefore, as a Conference, and as citizens of this State, we respectfully request and urge the ensuing legislature, early in its session to submit to the voters of this State a constitutional amendment prohibiting'the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors. Governor W. P. Hobby and the last legislature are to be commended, and this body expresses its appreciation of their 'action in passing the dry zone law affecting territory and surrounding the army camps, and statutory prohibition. This constructive legislation, in giving the people of this State what they desired, has had a far-reaching effect in bettering social, economic and moral conditions. A dry State and the prompt ratification by the legislature of national prohibition has given standing and prestige to Texas throughout the Union. Your committee is gratified to note that from present indications national prohibition seems assured. Already fourteen States have ratified the constitutional amendment, five of these being wet States. The last national election so increased the number of dry States and elected prohibition legislatures, that it now seems certain that thirty-seven States (or one more than the required three-fourths) will ratify the national prohibition amendment. It is only a question of a short time until this great nation will be greater because of nation-wide prohibition first as a war measure and then by constitutional amendment. The national government is worthy of all commendation and it has set an example for all the nations of earth in its firm stand to protdct our soldiers from vice and intoxicating liquors. Because of this unyielding policy the American army is composed of the cleanest soldiers in the world. A few weeks. since the retiring president of the Federal Council of the Free Churches of England- said: "We are not happy over our drink bill, especially since the entry of the United States into the war." According to the report of the proceedings of this meeting, the drink bill of England last year amounted to 270,000,000 pounds, 100,000,000 more than the year previous. From reliable reports, the brewers and distillers have continued all through this war to manufacture from foodstuffs beer and liquor. This, notwithstanding the fact that the cry of the allies has been for bread and that America has been denying herself the necessities of life in order to ship to them wheat and other foodstuffs. Now that the allies and the United States have won the war and again there is peace on earth, it is earnestly hoped that England and France will be freed from the rule and ruin of the infamous liquor business, especially since our own soldiers, our clean American young men, are now in these countries. May we devoutly hope and pray that when the United States of America adopts nation-wide prohibition the example and influence will be such that the great nations that have been associated with her in this war will also become bone-dry. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 75 We, your committee, respectfully recommend the appointment of Atticus Webb - as State Superintendent of the AntiSaloon League of Texas, and W. B. Wilson, temperance worker associated with the Anti-Saloon League. Respectfully submitted, JOHN R. NELSON, Chairman, J. W. HEAD, Secretary. REPORT OF BOARD ON LAY ACTIVITIES. To the Central Texas Conference in Session at Mineral Wells, Texas, November 19, 1918. In response to question 51, paragraph 52, of the Discipline, your Board on Activities of Laymen report as follows: The reports from the district leaders show that in the majority of our churches all of the committees have been elected and that in many churches they have been actively at work and have been of service to the church. We believe that more men are vitally interested in the work of the church than at any time in its history. We again ask our preachers to use the committees provided for by the Discipline, and believe that if they will put the responsibility upon the committees, that they will do the work intrusted to them. As to • the Missionary Committee, we again urge that the church lay leader, in co-operation with the preacher, put on the every-member canvass very early in the new conference year. The every-member canvass very adequately prepared and efficiently carried out in the church is the solution and only solution of our financial problems as to our benevolences. The Evangelistic Committee can be of great service if a proper leader can be secured. In our great revival campaigns the chairman of the Evangelistic Committee should be very active, but we realize that the most effective evangelism must be carried on every day of the conference year by the individual membership of the church and a properly chosen committee will be of great service. In the new conditions that have come upon us, we believe that the Social Service Committee, if properly directed, can render great service. In all of the great problems that shall come to us a Social Service Committee in each church should be very effective. We, as laymen, rejoice most profoundly that the church has before it for the next five years a worthy problem. We most heartily and enthusiasticall y endorse the centenary movement. It has come, not only -at the end of the century of American Methodism, but the time is more opportune because the centenary begins its drive in the first days of our wonderful world peace. If there were no other reasons why the centenary should be a success, and if no other reason why the whole $35,000,000.00 should be paid, it should be paid as .a thank offering to our God for delivering us and bringing this wonderful peace to the children of men. We are glad to know that the Laymen's Missionary Movement has had some part in the beginning of this centenary work. We loaned the secretary of the Laymen's Missionary 76 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL Movement, Dr. W. B. Beauchamp, to the centenary movement, and the Centenary Commission has elected him its General Secretary, and we are glad to know that be is leading in this magnificent , work in a manner satisfactory to the whole church. We are glad to have the information from our Conference Missionary Secretary, Rev. J. E. Crawford, that a very large number of our Sunday Schools and many of our laymen individually have assumed specials and already some laymen, in advance of the time fcr the pledge, have declared that they will give liberally to the centenary movement during the five years. We most earnestly request our preachers to join with the center.- ry movement in seeking a positive agreement upon the part of the membership of the church to sign the tithe card. Every Methodist should give to the cause of righteousness onetenth of his income, and we suggest that in most instances it can be done best through the channels of the church. All of these problems will demand more at our hands than we can accomplish without a large measure of spiritual sacrifice and intercessory prayer, and we also ask our preachers to give the membership an opportunity to sign the intercessory prayer card. We thank the secretaries of the last Annual Conference for denominating this as a Conference Board as provided by the Discipline, andrequest the publication of this report along with the reports of the other boards of this Conference in the Conference Journal. Your Board on Lay Activities, with their post office address, is given as follows: Brownwood District—Judge W. H. Garrett, Santa Anna, Texas. Cisco District—M. H. Smith, Ranger, Texas. Cleburne District—Judge E. A. Rice, Cleburne, Texas. Corsicana District—Prof. J. E. Blair, Corsicana, Texas. Dublin District—L. C. Sellers, Stephenville, Texas. Fort 'Worth District—Judge D. M.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR SUPERANNUATE HOMES. Your board is greatly pleased with the report of the Conference Agent for the past year. It reveals the fact that notwithstanding the adverse conditions that have prevailed throughout a large part of the Conference on account of an unprecedented diouth, success has crowned his efforts. Two good Homes, worth at a very conservative estimate, five thousand ($5,000.00) dollars, have been secured to the board by will during the year. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 77 These Homes are located at Morgan, Texas. They were bequeathed by Judge M. B. Winston and wife in memory of an only son, Barry Winston, who was killed in an automobile accident. They are to be known as the. Barry Winston Memorial Homes. In this connection we wish to urge our pastors to call the attention of their people, who have money or property to leave to some good cause, to the superannuate home work. This is an age of mighty world movements both in church and state. The greatest economic movement of this century is the movement for a better provision for the aged and dependent.. There are now about one hundred and fifty railroad companies and other corporations that have arranged to pension their employes upon their retirement from active service. The church must not let the business world surpass her in efforts to care for those who have worn themselves out in her service and who have come to the end of their effective ministry without a home. At this session of the Conference one of , our truest and best men who has spent between thirty and forty years in the itinerant ministry, and who has never received a large salary, will retire. We are glad that we have a comfortable home ready for him to move into at once. We earnestly request the hearty co-operation of the pastors and presiding elders with our Conference Agent in his efforts to secure homes for our retired veterans. We request Bishop Ainsworth to appoint D. L. Collie agent for Superannuate Homes for the ensuing conference year. J. A. WHITEHURST, President, W. B. ANDREWS, Secretary.

C 86 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL Standing and Special Committees REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SPIRITUAL STATE OF THE CHURCH: The present urgent need of our church is a revival given of God by the Holy Spirit for the saving of the lost through Jesus, the only way, and the building up of His children in His life and work. The committee feels that such pressing questions as the non-attendance of the Sunday School members upon church services, the decadence of family worship, the neglect of individual Bible study and secret prayer, the hurtful work of the modern dance and all other pressing evils will be corrected by a widespread Holy Ghost revival. We need a revival that lasts all the year in every charge. Rev. W. A7 Sunday and his party are to begin a series of services in Fort Worth next Sunday, November 2t4h. We fervently pray and expect that during this eight weeks' campaign the entire State of Texas will receive a baptism of purifying fire from the Holy Spirit. But brethren, the task before us is to see that our preaching , results in the saving of the lost from sin week by week. The crying need today is for a sweeping revival of Bible repentance for and from sin, of free salvation through Jesus' atoning death on the cross and of holy living before the world. During these days of our centenary campaign the church that heeds the call of Secretary S. A. Neblett for intercession before the Throne of Grace will not only do its part in bringing up the millions for missions, but will also reach the multitude for Christ in the new birth of many souls. During this reconstruction period and in spite of war prices, we recommend the launching of campaigns led by evangelists or evangelistic pastors in every district of the Conference. We urge the use of tents in the city and brush arbors in the country during the summer months. Let every preacher's tongue become a flame of fire in every nook and earner of our country from the largest city church to the smallest wayside house of worship. God grant that our only theme may be John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." We desire to give thanks to God for the large number of conversions and reclamations with which He has blessed the work of our church this year among our soldiers. Respectfully, G. R. WRIGHT, President, W. E. HAWKINS, Jr., Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE To the Bishop and Members of the Central Texas Conference: We bad before us a communication from the Texas Lord's Day Alliance, auxiliary to the United States Alliance. We rejoice to know that we have in this State such an organization, for its aim and purpose is the creation of Sabbath sentiment CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL . 81 and the protection of the Lord's Day against any adverse legislation. .There is an absolute necessity for this organization, inasmuch as the picture show people and the vendors of automobile appurtenances are persistent in seeking legislation that will legalize their trade. At this time of political disturbance and upheaval and the many inroads made upon the sanctity of our Lord's Day during the war, accentuates the importance of continual vigilance on the part of ministers and laymen that the sanctity of this day -may be preserved intact. Unless the ministers become more aggressive in pressing the claims of this day upon the church and the world we are likely to find ourselves after our great jubilation over the achievement of woman's rights, prohibition and our great war victory with our Lord's Day so impaired that it will bring to us no little embarrassment and with the very foundation of our civil and religious liberty shaken. We will not specify in this report the many ways in which this day is being desecrated, but we respectfull y request our ministers to preach at least one sermon during the conference year on this question -and to urge upon our people the great importance of keeping the day holy. We commend the work being done by Rev. R. C. Armstrong and recommend that he be re-appointed as State Secretary of the Sunday League of America. Respectfull y submitted, J. H. STEWART, Chairman, E. W. BRIDGES, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON DISTRICT CONFERENCE RECORDS. Mineral Wells, Texas, November 21, 1918. To the Bishop and Members of the Central Texas Conference: Dear Brethren—We, your Committee on District Conference Records, respectfull y submit the following: We have examined the following records and find them to be accurate, neat and in every sense well kept: Brownwood, Cisco, Corsicana, Dublin, Gatesville, Hillsboro, Fort Worth, Waxahachie, Georgetown and Waco. ' The Cisco record is an ideal of accuracy, form and penmanship. The Weatherford record was not before us for consideration. We note from the Journal that Weatherford submitted no record last year. W. J. HEARON, Chairman, M. L. LATHAN, Secretary. REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON ORPHANAGE. Your Committee on Orphans' Home beg to submit the following report: We have at Waco a campus of thirty-seven acres with buildings thereon approximatin g in value $250,000. The new hospital has just been built at an expense of $20,000 through the efforts of that lifelong friend of the home, Rev. Abe Mulkey. The sanitary conditions of the grounds and buildings is worthy of commendation. 82 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL During the recent epidemic there have been about seventy- five cases of influenza which resulted in one death. Otherwise the health of the children has been good. There are now about 215 children in the Home and more than 100 at the door knocking for admittance who can not be received for lack of necessary provisions. We urge liberal contribution by the church for the liquidation of some indebtedness and for further enlargment and maintenance and would ask that the non-assessment plan be continued and that every pastoral charge send a liberal Christmas offering. The managers of the institution now require all persons handling its funds to make bond and that the books be audited quarterly, which has our unqualified indorsement. We very heartily commend the work of Rev. W. T. Gray as State Superintendent and recommend his reappointment, and respectfully ask that Rev. J.~ N. McCain be appointed Manager and Rev. E. A. Reed Assistant Manager. We recommend further that Rev. J. D. Odom be appointed Superintendent of the Orphans' Home Society of Texas. Respectfully, H. Y. PRICE, Chairman, W. H. KEENER, Secretary. REPORT OF THE WAR WORK COMMISSION. Dear Fathers and Brethren: We, your Committee on War Work, as provided for by the General Conference, beg leave to submit the following report: To your committee was referred a communication and certain other papers from the War Work Commission of the church. From this communication we learn that Bishop W. R. Lambuth, the chairman of the War Work Commission, is in France rendering service in behalf of negro troops and contributing to the spiritual life of chaplains and other religious workers among soldiers. The following are extracts from his last letter:. "The more I look back upon the workof camp pastor and its opportunities, the more I am convinced that it is an opportunity for great service: . I am anxious that the relation and all it involves should be clearly understood and carefully defined. It must be handled with great care. "The chaplains are widely scattered and encounter the difficulties of having to minister to thousands instead of hundreds. They are good men and true. I am not speaking simply of our men, but of the body as a whole. There are a few who let down and fail to measure up to the expectations and demands, but the-proportion is not greater than in the pastorate at home. "The attitude of our - boys is one full of encouragement. They appreciate a strong, clear statement of gospel truth. They love their country and cleave to its ideals. While some, perhaps many, may yield to the fierce temptations to which army life in a foreign land exposes them, I believe that a large majority will return with a deepened sense of thankfulness for our in- stitutions, our churches and our homes. It is immensely important, however, that we who are here should bring every effort for strengthening the convictions of these splendid men and steer them safely back to their own shores and to the'home CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 83 neighborhood where the bonds of friendship and love can be renewed." Thus far the War Work Commission has acted on 181 applications for chaplains. Ninety-two of these have been commissioned by the government, thirty are in attendance at the training school and forty-one had been approved for lthe November school. There are also on file forty-six more applications. In addition to the work done by soldier pastors, the policy of the War Work Commission henceforth is to establish in every city adjacent to large camps, church headquarters where soldier pastors and matrons may minister to soldiers on leave. There is no work more imperative than caring for our boys when their work is done and they are on leave in the cities. It is then that they are exposed to the temptations and need to be strengthened and guarded to overcome evil with good. A great field _ of war work has developed at government munition and ship-building plants. Around these plants, as if by magic, towns have developed of from five to ten thousand inhabitants, where there is neither church nor preacher to minister to the spiritual need of the people. For such places it is the policy to build a real community church working plant and put outstanding men in charge. Under the new order of the war department, churches may continue to work at army camps under the direction and control of the chaplains. The soldier pastors approved by the war department must be invited by the chaplains and are regarded as their guests while in the camp. It is thought that the work of the church with this new arrangement will have a recognition and indorsement by the government that will make it more effective. The General Conference instructed that each Annual Conference create a War Work Commission, the executive committee of which will have charge of war activities of the Conference and will work in co-operation with the General War Work Commission. The War. Work Commission of the Central Texas Conference has organized with John R. Nelson as chairman and E. D. Jennings as secretary. The executive committee consists of the chairman and secretary and ---------_-------------- -To your committee was also referred the annual report of John R. Nelson, State Superintendent of Army Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Texas. From this report we learn that during the year as many as fifteen camp pastors were at work within the State at different army camps .and for their use nine tabernacles and soldier churches were built at a cost of $25,000. Voluntary contributions, State and local, amounted to $56; 053, of which the Central Texas Conference contributed $16,042. The total expense of this work under the State Superintendent is $42,119.25. All of which has been met except $3,011.25. The expense of the work within the bounds of the Central Texas Conference amount to $21,419.21, which has been paid with the exception of $944.75. The work in tabernacles and soldier churches has been social, recreational and religious. Great emphasis has been placed upon evangelism. These camps have been white fields for soul-saving. Camp pastors report under their ministry dur- 84 CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL ing the year for the State 5,339 conversions and reclamations. Of these 3,488 were converted and reclaimed within the bounds of the Central Texas Conference. We are pleased to have had a visit from Dr. C. C. Seleeman, Field Secretary of the War Commission of the Church, who has recently been overseas and who brings a stirring message concerning our American soldiers. According to the instructions of the General Conference, the War Work Commission will have charge of all the war , work activities of the church. By agreement the work of the Texas Commission will be turned over to the commissi on with this round of Annual Conferences. We recommend the appointment of John R. Nelson, Commissioner of War Work; W. E. Hawkins, Jr., soldier pastor,. Brooklyn Heights Church, Camp Bowie; D. A. McGuire, soldier pastor, Camp MacArthur, to be appointed as assistant pastor. of Herring Avenue Church. Respectfully submitted, - H. A. BOAZ. CENTRAL TEXAS CONFERENCE JOURNAL 85 Resolutions Resolved: That a committee consisting of W. B. Andrews, J. B. Berry, F. F. Downs, John H. Garner and W. A. Crow are hereby appointed to study our methods of reporting our statistics and recommend to the next session of the Conference a system of auditing whereby we can secure accuracy and clearness in the statistical and financial reports in our Conference Journal. HORACE BISHOP, W. H. MATTHEWS. Resolved: That standing rule No. 7 of this Conference be rescinded, it being now covered by paragraphs 446-7 of the Discipline; and that standing rule No. 8 be changed in the first line to read: ".The Conference Commission on Finance shall not be authorized," etc., thus conforming it to paragraphs 446-7 of the Discipline. Whereas, This is the fiftieth anniversary of Dr. Horace Bishop in the itinerant ministry of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in the State of Texas; and, Whereas, His life, character and work as a man, a citizen and a preacher of the Gospel have been potent factors in the development of both church and State in the great Southwest. Therefore, be it Resolved: That the Central Texas Conference invite Dr. Bishop to preach his semi-centennial sermon at the next session of the Conference, to be held in Waco, Texas, in 1919, and that he be requested to furnish the Secretary of the Conference with a copy of his manuscript for publication.
