APPENDIX.
REPORT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
The Committee on Sunday Schools beg leave to report; that, after a careful survey of the entire field of labor, presented in our Confer- ence District, we have much cause for gratitude to the great Head of the Church, for the success of the past year.
From all parts of our wide domain, there comes up to this Confer- ence the note of triumph. The older fields of labor have been en- larged and improved, and new ones have been entered upon with en- couraging prospects of success.
There never was a time in which the minds and hearts of both Pas- tors and people have been more deeply impressed with the necessity and value of early religious culture, tlian the ])resent. In our towns and cities, there has been a gradual, and constant increase of the num- ber of Sunday-scliool scholars, and an improvement in the methods of instruction.
Many of the best minds and hearts of the laity find room for the ex- ercise of their highest intelligence, and deepest piety, in the Sabbath school.
Tiiis is worthy of all praise, and will receive, as it deserves, the com- mendation of the Church, and the blessing of God both here and at the last day. In the circuits, the difficulties are greater, but not in- superable. The inclemency of the winter months; the uncorafortal>le condition of many of our church buildings; want of suitable clothing for the children of the poor; want of system in many places; scarcity of suitable books of instruction ; but above all, the want of an abiding interest on the part of teachers and parents, form serious drawbacks upon the hope of enlarged usefulness.
Yet on many of our circuits, we are glad to report a gradual pro- gress in the right direction.
The times in which we live, demand increased energy on the part of the Church, in cultivating thi3 mo3t inviting and promising field of labor. The radical changes which have bean made in our civil rela- tions; and in many places the consequent demoralization of society; the unhallowed greed of gain ; the often unprincipled contest for place and power; the moral mildew of learned and subtle, and therefore all the more dangerous, forms of modern scepticism ; the wide awake.
20
ami pernistent efforts of errorists in religion ; and tibove all, the present and eternal salvation of the children, demand untiring vigilance, and increased activity at our hands. The Church that falters at this point is doomed. Running parallel with the early religious instruc- tion of the children, is the recognition of infant membership in the Churcii of Christ. The Master teaches this when he says. "For of such is tlie Kingdom of God." Least of all, should those doubt or neglect it, who are committed to the doctrine of infant baptism.
We, at least, siiould be consistent with ourselves, and use all dili- gence not only to "feed," but also to "fold" the Lambs, who form an integral part of the flock of Christ.
It is a matter of congratulation, that your Committee is enabled to report an increased circulation of our Sunday-school Literature in every part of the Conference.
The Sundny Sclwol Visitor is a great favorite with our people. It is read by both old and young with delight. The same is true of the Little Peojde. We regard these publications as*meeting a great want, which lias long been felt in our Church. It is a noticeable fact, that in many places, where there is no Sunday-school organization, they are taken and read with interest. We think that our jjreachers should take pains to spread them, broadcast, over the land. Their popular- ity, wherever known, and the exceedingly low price, at which they are furnished, will greatly facilitate this work. The " Uniform Lesson " Hvstem meets with general favor in our best regulated Sabbath schools. Time, patience and effort, on the part of the preachers, will secure their general adoption.
Your Committee beg leave to offer the following resolutions, viz:
Hesolved. 1. That, as Pastors, wc are as much as ever impressed with
the great value of our Sunday-schools, as auxiliaries, in the work of
training up our children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord,
Essolved 3. That we will bring increased energy and zeal to bear
upon this department of ministerial labor.
Resolved 3. That we gratefully acknowledge the activity of our lay members in this noble work, and that we joyfully hail them as co-la- borers in the vineyard of the Lord. All of which is respectfully submitted,
S. LEARD, Chairman.

REPORT O^ EDUCATION.
GEEEXSBORO' FEMALE COLLEGE.
The Committee beg leave to sul^mit the following report in regard to Greensboro' Female College :
Having examined the plan submitted by the Board of Trustees of that Institution, -we hereby recommend the adoption of the same, to- wit:
1. That the agency be continued.
2. That the Presiding Elders, with the assistance of the Preachers, be requested by the Conference to present the claims of the College to each Pastoral charge and take up public collections in each, except the Wilmington District, the Presiding Elder of which is excused for the ensuing year, for good cause.
Your Committee furthermore recommend, that on the adoi:)tion of this report, the members of the Conference be invited to express their sentiments in regard to this favorite educational enterprise of the Church in North Carolina, and that the congregation be called upon to contribute in any of the wa^'s provided for by the plan of the Trustees for the completion of the buildings.
DAVENPORT FEMALE COLLEGE.
We rejoice to hear of the continued prosperity of Davenport Female College, under the presidency of Rev. W. M. Robey, A. M. The Col- lege is conferring the blessings of sound intellectual and christian cul- ture upon the young ladies in its cIms i .?. Therefore, we believe the College richly deserves the fostering care of this Conference.
The location of this Institution, in a region where health, pure air and good waters abound, gives the power not only to be an ornament to the Church and Conference, but an incalculable blessing.
We, therefore, unanimously recommend the following resolutions:
Resolved 1. That Davenport Female College deserves the patronage of all our people, and the public generally.
Renohed 2. That we approve of the action of the Trustees of said College in the appointment of an Agent at such time, and in such manner, as may seem best to them, and recommend him to the liberal patronage of all our people. ♦
WARRENTON FEMALE COLLEGE.
The Committee rejoice to hear of the continued and increasing pros- perity of this very excellent Institution of learning, under the presi- dency of Rev. T. M. Jones, D. D., and take great pleasure in recom- mending it to our people as in every way worthy of their confidence and patronage.
22
TKINITY COLLEGE — MAJOWTY REPORT.
The following resolutions arc presented to the Conference for adop- tion:
Resolved 1. That wc do most cordially recommend Trinity College to the confidence and patronage of our people.
Resolved 2. That we hereby endorse the action of our last annual session, held in Charlotte, on the proposition to raise twenty thou- sand dollars, for the purpose of erecting the necessary buildings to meet the growing patronage of the College.
Besohed 3. That we do respectfully request the presiding Bishop to appoint the Rev. B, B. Culbreth Agent for the College; and, that we will earnestly co-operate with him in his efforts to secure the funds needed, for the purpose specified,
CHAELES F. DEEMS, CMirman.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE BIBLE CAUSE.
We, the Committee appointed to take into consideration the inter- est of the Bible Cause, beg leave to make the following report :
To ascertain the destitution and to circulate the printed word of God in the bounds ^of each of our pastoral charges, is an imperative duty, and cannot be carelessly regarded without involving us in sin.
We, your Committee, have conferred with the Rev, P. A. Strobtl, the Agent of the American Bible Society, and from him have obtained the following facts :
He has been at work in the State about nine months, during which time he has met and conferred with ninety Auxiliary Societies and Committees. Many of these were found inactive. All these societies have been revived, and supplied with the word of God.
Nine new auxiliaries, and an equal number of branch societies, have been organized.
In doing this work, the agent has traveled nearly six thousand miles, delivered two hundred sermons and addresses, and has supplied the societies with five thousand dollars worth of Bibles and Testaments. The agent has also obtained thirty-five grants, from the Parent Society, of about eight thousand volumes for gratuitous distribution. He es- timates an average of at least one hundred and fifty families, in each of the eighty counties visited l)y him, destitute of the word ot God. If this estimate be correct, we then have fifteen thousand families, in the State of North Carolina, wrapped in the dark folds of pagan night. Sad truth ! But this field is at hand, and ready to the harvest, let us enter and gather the precious sheaves for the Master.
23
The American Bible Society has generously placed at the disposal of the State Ageat, twenty-three hundred dollars, formerly belonging to the old North Carolina Bible Society, to be ueed by him in supply- ing the destitute with the word of God. About one-half of this amount has been consumed. The receipts of the Agent have been, up to this time, about three thousand dollars.
With these facts before us, the extent of the territory, and the des- titution which exists, we make an earnest call upon every member of this Conference, to give a hearty co-operation with the labors of the Rev. P. A. Strobel, so that he may feel he has a substantial support from us, as a body of Christian laborers.
We believe that a division of the territory and the appointment of an additional agent, by the American Bible Society, would more speedily and profitably accomplish the great end designed in this noble work.
Eesolved, That we heartily approve the plan and principles of the American Bible Society in their earnest efforts to supply the word of God to the destitute families in North Carolina.
Besolved, That we will co-work with the State Agent in this glorious enterprise, and that he is hereby cordially invited to visit our pastoral charges, and occupy our churches in the advocacy of the Bible cause.
Resolved, That a copy of this report be furnished the State Agent.
T. A. BOONE, Chairman.
REPORT ON BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.
The Committee on Books and Periodicals beg leave to submit the following report :
We are deeply impressed with the vast importance of circulating our church literature. In proportion to the advancement of our peo- ple in wholesome knowledge, will be the strength of their faith, the fervency of their love, the activity of their zeal, and the hearty support of^our church enterprises. Religious knowledge is spiritual power. In view of this fact, we urge upon our ministers active efforts in cir- culating our church literature.
The lialeigh Christian Advocate, under the successful management of Rev. J. B. Bobbitt, has strong claims on our liberal patronage. It is North Carolinian in locality and sentiment, sound in the doctrines of our church, large in size, clear in type, cheap in price, and well filled with wholesome and edifying matter. It spreads before our people a weekly feast for the intellect, Sspiritual nutriment for the soul, and a condensed summary of religious and secular intelligence.
24
We learn that its financial condition is sound, that its subscription has increased, and its prospects are encouraging and bright.
In view of these facts, we recommend the adoption of the following resolutions :
Resolved 1, That we heartily endorse the Raleigh Christian Advovate as the organ of the N. C. Conference, and that we make increased ef- forts to extend its circulation.
Resolved 2, That it has the first claim on our people for a liberal support, as it is a necessity to our Church and Conference.
Resolved 3, That we request the Bishop to re-appoint Rev. J. B. Bobbitt, Editor.
The Nashville Cliristian Advocate, as the official organ of the M. E. Church, South, and a most excellent paper, in every respect, ought to- be liberally patronized, and we cordially commend it to our people, both of the ministry and laity.
We would call special attention to our Sunday School books and pa- pers, published at Nashville, and, as far as possible, introduce them into our Sunday Schools.
The Southern Revietc, edited by Dr. Bledsoe, is a periodical of the highest merit, richest intruction and finest literary excellence, and worthily deserves our hearty support.
All of which is respectfully submitted,

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON CHURCH PROPERTY.
Your Committee on Church Property beg leave to submit the fol- lowing report :
After having made the necessary efforts to secure the statistical re- ports from the preachers, and having only obtained about one-third of the same, we are unable, therefore, to make a complete and satisfac- tory report. And whereas, the law lays down no specific plan where- by to get up these reports, we beg leave to suggest the following plan to this Conference :
First. Tliat it shall be the duty of the Presiding Elder of each Dis- trict in the bounds of the Conference, to see that each preacher shall make, at the District Conference, a full report in writing of the num- ber, condition, title and valuation, of the churches and parsonages on his work.
25
Second. That it shall be the duty of the Presiding Elders, to see that the secretaries of the several District Conferences, send a full report of the same to the Secretary of the Annual Conference. Respectfully submitted,

ON THE CASE OF W. T. McCLELLION.
Tlie Committee to whom was referred the charge of lasciviousness, against "W. T. McClellion, have in form, according to discipline and with the utmost care, tried the charge, and do find the charge sustain- ed, so far as to amount to undue levity, and amorous conduct, but without an overt act. In view of the circumstances surrounding the case, and believing him to have been laboring under mental derange- ment at the time, the Chairman pronounced W. T. McClellion sus- pended from all the functions of the ministry for one Conference year.

MEMOIR OF REV. JAMES REID.
A fatlier in Israel hath lallen. He, who has for many years headed the roll of our Conference, has gone to the conference of the redeem- ed ; he was worthy to lead, and he died as becometh a leader. James Reid was born in Caswell County, N. C, April 5th, 1795; he received a plain English education, such as was usual at that time, in that sec- tion of the country. His parents were pious, and the home influence favorable to the development of manhood's best form. In early life he embraced religion, and joined the Methodist Episcopal Churctf. The call to preach was during his boyhood, and in early youth he com- menced the work. He joined the Virginia Conference in 1815, and was appointed to Bertie Circuit. His work was then as follows: 1816, Roanoke; 1817, Suffolk and Princess Ann; 1818, "Washington and Swift Creek; 1819, Salisbury; 1820, Mecklenburg; 1821-2, Guilford; 1823-4, Franklin; 1825, Iredell; 1826, Bedford; 1827, Buckingham; 1828, Amherst; 1829, Franklin; 1830-1, Haw River; 1832, Tar Riv- er; 1833-6, Presiding Elder on Newbern District ; 1 837^-40, Presid- ing Elder on Salisbury District; 1841-3, Agent for Greensboro' Fe- male College; 1844-7, Presiding Elder on Washington District; 1848-9, Caswell Circuit; 1850, Person; 1851, Wilmington; 1852-3, Presiding Elder on Raleigh District; 1854-8, Raleigh African Mis- sion; 1859-60, Tar River; 1861-2, Nashville; 1863^, Henderson; 1865, Warren; 1866, Presiding Elder on Newbern District; 1867-73, Agent of Sunday Schools. It will be seen that he gave nearly fifty- seven years to the active work of the ministry; not the pleasant work of stations, but mostly to circuits and districts, very large and labor- ious. In April, 1822, he was happily married to Martha Edwards, of Rockingham County, an amiable young lady and a devoted Christian, well adapted by character, education and disposition to be the wife of a self-sacrificing Methodist preacher. At that time there were few married traveling preachers' in the Virginia Conference. In those days married preachers were not popular, and nearly all who married, loca- ted ; but James Reid and his family lived upon such pay as was given, endured all manner of hardship, and still the devoted man of God never faltered. He was an able minister of the Gospel, preached in the "power and demol ation of the Spirit," and was wise in win- ning souls to Christ wi|a wisdom from above.
While enduring the toils and privations of the ministry, he also shared its honors. In 1832 he was elected, and served as a delegate in the General Conference, which met that year in Philadelphia; and, in matters of Church polity and direction, he ranked with such men as James Patterson, H. G. Leigh, Brock and Doub.
33
Bro. Reid was twice married ; his first wife and seven of their nine children passed away to the spirit land before him; his second wife was a Mrs. Kelly, who still survives him.
He was a warm friend and able supporter of all the great enterprises of the Church. With his small salary he managed to give his children a good education, and he did much to promote the cause of education in our Church and the State generally ; he was not only an active, faithful trustee of our colleges, but supported them in every way with eminent ability. He was one of those clear-thinking, prudent work- ing men, who make their mark upon their times. He was one of the fathers in the North Carolina Conference, pre-eminently a man of abi- lity and weight among citizens, and a ma* of God in the Church. By him was much contrilnited to make us what we are. In the summer of 1873 he was elected Superintendent of Public Instruction for the State of North Carolina, but died before the time for entering upon the duties of his office.
Bro. Reid died suddenly at the residence of Rev. N. H. D. Wilson, in Greensboro', K C, November 8th, 1873. For some time his health had been declining, but he had often said he was ready; that he had been long in tlie vineyard below, and was waiting to Ije carried to his Father's house. He leaves a bereaved widow, two sons, several gTand- children and other relations, and the members of the Conference to mourn his loss.

C'
r FROM TRINITY COLLEGE.
BisTiop, and Brethren of the Conference :
The friends of Trinity, and all earnest promoters of thorough Chris- tian education, will be gratified to know, that I am able to announce toyou the continued success of the College; a success not founded uy:- on popular impulse, spasmodic effort, or the advantages of money, but manifestly upon the solid merits of the Institution. Only those who have carefully studied the condition and work of the College since the war, can fully appreciate either what it has done, or what it is.. Without one dollar of external aid, and with some unreasonable anta- gonisms, we have secured a patronage equal in all respects to a major- ity of first class colleges; a faculty sufficient in numbers and with abil- ity that no one questions ; a curriculum that commands the respect of the best scholars and educators in the country ; and a grade of scho- larship, that, in the years to come, will speak for us in life's highest and hardest work. This, we have done, and paid on ■ -vu expenses. Much more could have been done; with proper u. i'.i ^s and ac- commodations, we could have doubled our pr- .tudents,, and establislied Methodist educational • upon an immovable basis. The inadequacy of ■ m . <, ipments, has sadly retarded our progress, subj i' .i.ageous com- parisons, increased the labors of the i'.U'uity, .mO iia-aied us in almost every thing. Trinity needs ■ ndov. ment, ' "it first of all we must have buildings, furniture and appv/irtusi.
In all the essentials of a ;^reat Uicr rr Institution, there has been continuous growth. Nearly all the students are now in the regular course; the Preparatory and Irre^rular departments, once large, are now smaller than we desire: but the rc^gular Collegiate classes in-
crease in numbers every year Th important, and will demand • The Theological departnieu than at any previous time.
The new buildings have 1 < v;, and, it is hoped, a part will i >< . effort by the Conference, an^t o. ; f be done. All things admonisii .;- t. is before us to occupy and ,■■
lep.irtment of Law is large and 'D on the part of the Trustees, successful, and is larger now
arneacsd under favorable auspices, . )!'.ti'(] during this year. A united fi' i;'l generally, and the work will . .1 i vigorously on ; an open door id, and we must not stop till
58
the work is tlone. Fifty cents per member for tht^
would fully meet our immediate wants. V/ill it noV
any hesitate to contribute, when a great work is thereRjJ^CES,
plished ? I trust not.

REPOirr OF THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF GREENSBORO' FEMALE COLLEGE.
"By the measures adopted at tli;^ last session of Conference in Char- lotte, additional funds have been realized for the erection of the Col- lege building, but not enough to meet the expenditures. It being found necessary that more vigorous means should be employed to raise money, at a call meeting of the Board in June last the services of Rev. H. T. Hudson were secured, as Agent. For a statement of his success I refer to Ids report, which is herewith submitted.
The building is going forward to completion as rapidly as the means Justify. The walls have been finished and the entire roof put on.
The financialrondition of the enterprise is exhibited in the report of the Secretary and Treasurer, which is herewith submitted.
To meet the indel)todness of the College already incurred and to raise the requisite funds to complete the building, the Board has re- solved on the following m=!asures and asks the hearty concurrence and co-operation of the Conference in them :
1. That the Agency be continued.
2. That the Presiding Elders, with the assistance of the preachers, he requested by the Conferc;ire lo jir' -ci^t the claims of the College to each pastoral charge and t:\kv. up I'UbMc collections in each, except the Wilmington District, the I'rosu satisfactory reason to the Boiui; for
)lder of which is excused for
nsuing year.
.bmitted,
N. F. REID, President of the Board.

6TINDAY SCnOOL rUBLICATIOJTS.
1. The Sunday School Marjazine is issued monthly, and costs one dol- lar a year to single subsciibcrs. If as many as ten are sent to one ad- dress, ten dollars will buy, in addition to the ten Magazines a month during the year, sixty Lesson Papers — like the four pages of questions in this package. Every additional Magazines taken, entitles you to. six Lesson Papers. If you want more Lesson Papers than your Maga- zine subscription entitles you to, you can buy extra Lesson Papers, at the rate of one dollar for ten a year.
2. The Sunday Sclwol Visitor. We have three editions of the Visitor — each one being printed and mailed once a month.
We call one form the neeMy Visitor — because it can be easily divi- ded so as to distribute a four-page paper every Sunday in the year — except fifth Sundays. We do not print and mail it weekly, because it would cost so much that our schools could not take it. To single sub- siTibcrs we send the Weekly for seventy-five cents a year; to clubs of ten, or more, we send it at the rate of fifty cents a copy a year.
The Scmi-Montldy Visitor gives you a paper two Sundays in the month. It costs single subscribers forty cents a year; to clubs of ten. or more, we send it at the rate of twenty-five cents a copy a year.
The Monthly Visitor gives you a paper once a month. To single 8ul)scribers we send it for twenty cents a year; to clubs often, or more, we send it at the rateoftwelve-and-one-half cents a copy a year.
?j. Our Little People is mailed once a month, and may be so divided as to furnish a two-page to the little ones four times a month. To single subscribers it costs twenty a year; but one dollar will pay for ten copies sent to one address.
C.vuTiON. — If you don't v.'ant Meth<Hlist doctrines and ways taught
64
in your schools, you had better not take these Papers, or use these Les- sons. The Editor is a Methodist, and believes that there are just as many reasons for having Methodist Sundays as Methodist churches. These Papers and Lessons are edited from the stand -point of Meth- odism.
If you need Sundiy-school Hymn and Tune Books, send for " The Amaranth," or "The Emerald." Price a3 60 per dozen. Sent by mail for $4 40 per dozen.
Send business letters to the Book Agent, Eev. A. II. Redford, D.D. ; literary communications to the undersigned.
Last year we sent out 148,750 Jff/grasiwesy 591,300 Visitors; 578,300 0 ir Little People; 924,000 Lesson Papers. This year we ought to double it.
Help us to do so.
