SOUTHWESTERN CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE
The Southwestern Christian Advocate brings to our homes every week a fine summary of the life of the world as seen from the Chris- tian viewpoint. It's crisp and brilliant editorials not only invite but compel attention. The strong evangelistic note which is constantly struck, and the brave and intelligent advocacy of all moral reforms are features which make single issues worth the price of an annual subscription. Loyalty to Methodism makes just criticism sometimes necessary. That service is always performed with a wise tact and with good sense and charity. Our Brother Robert E. Jones is re- sponsible for all these fine features. We here make record of our deep appreciation of his ceaseless efforts to make full proof of his ministry as editor of a great church paper, and we most heartily endorse his program, which seeks to place a copy of the South- western in the home of every family of our church in North Carolina.

BENNETT COLLEGE
Whereas Bennett College is recognized as holding place in front rank among our Freedmen's Aid Schools, and whereas, the future progress of our Church is, to a very large extent dependent upon our educational institutions; and whereas, our boasted esteem can only be maintained and supported by a more tangible evidence on the part of this Conference: therefore, be it
Resolved, That we register our most earnest and hearty coopera- tion in the furtherance of the work and program of the institution.
That we vote our loyalty by word of mouth and faithful deeds at every opportunity on every hill-top of our grand old State.
That we continue the policy of urging our young people to avail themselves of the exceptional opportunities and advantages fur- nished by and in our institution.
38 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
The General Conference ordered that the colored people be re- quested to raise $1 per member this quadrenniura for the schools of the Society independent of the regular F. A. collection; this $1 to be apportioned at 25 cents per capita each year of the quad- rennium. That we, therefore, authorize the District Superintend- ents to fix the apportionment for Bennett for this year of 25 cents for each member, same to be reported under Conference Educational Collections.
We recognize the fact that our Freedmen's Aid Board has heavier burdens than its present financial strength can carry with satis- faction to itself. Most of our teachers are poorly and inadequately paid.
We recommend that we put forth extra efforts to increase our local Conference collections, so that our teachers may receive more adequate pay.

CONVENTION
Whereas our Methodism, within the bounds of the North Carolina Conference, is not in as progressive a condition as it should be, and whereas, there is a great need of quickening in the various departments of our work, and whereas, there is great need of laying upon the hearts of the laymen the great burden of the work that so heavily presses upon our hearts and have them share with us the great responsibility of fostering our Methodism and its claims: therefore be it
Resolved, That we call a great convention next summer to meet within the bounds of the North Carolina Conference, at which time all the great causes of the Church shall be considered with special attention given to Bennett College and the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and that we formulate such plans as will assure us at least a thousand dollars for Bennett College and a thousand sub- scribers to the Southwestern Christian Advocate.

Temporally.— On the whole we are advancing temporally and spiritually. At Pleasant Ridge, Va., we have built a new church costing $1,800, with at least two-thirds of the cost paid. We have paid off a large indebtedness at West Raleigh on the present build- ing and made other necessary improvements, besides, there has been built at a reasonable cost a beautiful parsonage. At many other points the churches have been renovated, new and better locations purchased, and plans are being laid to continue the advance in beautifying, building, and locating our churches.
There is a widespread sentiment in the community of Greensboro that our churches must take on new appearances in order to keep pace with the times and place; therefore, our boards and pastors at Browning Chapel, East Greensboro, Mount Carmel, Northwest Greensboro, Rhode Island, Southwest Greensboro, have decided to go forth at once to build or raise money with which to build new churches.
I have read somewhere that "Whatever proposes to save men must take into account their full nature, environment, destiny." We are trying to place around our people an enticing environment in order to insure a wholesome destiny.
These charges have been rearranged in order to insure advance- ment along the line of church building. With a wonderful influx of our people to this prosperous city and with the rapid growth of its suburban population, if we would please God and save our people to our Methodism, we must build them more attractive church homes.
Forward Movements. — We have organized our young people's work with an eye single to progress among them. The Epworth League, the Sunday School, and the Brotherhood have united to push our benevolent causes and to help our struggling churches
42 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
financially, and to promote universal spirituality throughout the district. These organizaztions have already saved a church to us at Burlington worth at least $800.
We held in our district this year two very excellent conferences. In July we held at East Greensboro a very helpful meeting. The exposition of Scripture was a new feature in our District Confer- ence. Dr. Byrd, of the M. E. Church South, ably conducted this part of the program, at times lifting us to the highest stages of spirituality. Our general officers present rendered most excellent service, in that they enlightened the people and wonderfully helped them along the various benevolent enterprises.
At Reidsville, St. Stephen's Church, we enjoyed a most excellent three days meeting — the young people's convention. On the night of the annual literary program we had a liberal patronage by all denominations of the little city, both white and colored. Our young people deported themselves with credit. We have also a band of mutual helpers among our pastors which was organized last year. This band renders helpful service during our protracted meeting season with the least possible expense.
Financial. — We are pushing the new financial plan as much as is practical. It is hard to work the plan on our rural charges, but the most of the towns on the district are very successfully putting it in action, therefore you will observe from the Treasurer's report a slight increase in our finances. We have more faith in great prin- ciples than in petty rules for keeping men right, therefore we are teaching our people that they should give from principle, but give according to some fixed rule. With our present coworkers on our district we will ere long be fixed in our methods of giving. The preachers have heartily cooperated, and the laity have been as open-handed as circumstances would allow in these days of high cost of living, to make our benevolences rank higher than last year. We hope our efforts have not failed us. Our unified plan to raise our benevolences failed us this year, but our success is sufficient to warrant us to continue to push it for another year.
Revivals. — We held to the usual revival season this year as here- tofore, and during this season many were converted from the ways of sin, but we did not depend entirely upon this season for our spiritual quickening. We have had glorious spiritual awakenings all along. In fact, it seems that the membership of the district has enjoyed a spiritual feast during the entire year. The majority of our brethren have made good reports in the increase of con- versions and accessions. We ought to show a sturdy growth in our statistical reports.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 43
Disciplinary Benevolences. — Our efforts to increase the benevolent collections for our boards have been constant at every quarter throughout the year. I think we will show a slight advance over last year in our disciplinary benevolences. The help given to local necessities have been all that we could expect also. We have con- tributed largely to visiting representatives from our foreign fields. Dr. Alston and Mrs. Alston from Africa received snug little sums from our conventions and District Conference. We believe with the Master that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Educational. — Bennett College is the pride of the North Carolina Conference. She has for these forty-odd years been preparing men for the work of the Master in North Carolina, and especially has she been a boon to our own sons of the M. E. Church. From us have gone some of the best men in the colored work of the M. E. Church. Bennett College has furnished the Church the leading editor of any Christian paper manned by the race. She has given to the Freedman's Aid Society several presidents of her schools and a score of her most progressive teachers. She is still doing a great work under the present management of Prof. W. B. Windsor, one of her most brilliant sons and ardent lovers. There is no period in her history that seems more auspicious than now if not hampered by designers, and she is destined to rise to her proper place among the schools of that State that stand for Christian education par excellence. Our boarding hall is crowded to the brim and the boys' dormitory is overrun. Young men entering from now on must find lodging in the vicinity of the school. The outlook of our Kent Home, under the management of the Woman's Home Missionary Society and presided over by Mrs. Donaldson, has never been more propitious. There are now 45 girls at the Home receiving the best of motherly care and careful training. Mrs. Donaldson has with her the best of help in the per- sons of Miss Auch Mutey, who instructs in domestic science, and Mrs. Irene Gamble, who instructs in sewing, dressmaking, etc. Our campus is jubilant with songs of joy and peace, and if it were pos- sible to inject nothing that would disturb the present feeling of unity and good will that exists throughout the bounds of the Con- ference at present, our prospect for the future is great. On our district there are eight colleges designed especially for the colored race and are supported by the various Christian denominations. To keep pace with these schools we feel that our own Bennett must have the best of care and our most ardent support. I appeal to the Bishop of our area and to the members of the North Carolina Con- ference and to the laity at large and, finally, to the great Freed-
44 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
man's Aid Society not to overlook this fact. There are also on our district several nondenominational schools of high rank that are preparing our young men and women for usefulness in the State. I mention these things to show you that we as Methodists must take more interest in our school and see that there is produced as little friction as possible from any source if we want our institution to rank with the other educational institutions of the State.
Conference Claimants. — We are more and more impressed that we are not doing all we might for the retired ministry. Thus from time to time we have advocated some substantial plan by which the entire Conference can work which will add to the yearly fund to be distributed among the present claimants and also to the Conference investment fund. Our brethren have done well this year, but we hope to distribute the apportionment of this fund with mathematical exactness, and then we will go on to raise every cent on every charge.
As we said at the outset, there are many more things that might be said, but we cannot say all. We have given a fair outline of what has been done this year and what we think should be done in the near future. J. P. Morris, D. S.
WESTERN DISTRICT
Dear Bishop and Brethren: — Through the providence of our Heavenly Father I am permitted to present to you this fourth annual report of the Western District. The Lord has greatly blessed us with good health during the year; death has not invaded our ranks and all the men have been able to stay on the field.
As for the men on the field, the year has been one of trial and hardship; I am sure it has been the most trying in the history of the district. On July 15-16 the greatest storm and flood known to the State swept through the western section of the State, taking in the entire district through which flows the Catawba, Yadkin, Swannanoa, French Broad, South Fork, and Broad rivers. It is said that these rivers were from ten to fifteen and in some cases twenty feet above all previous high-water marks, with everything in their path carried away; many homes were swept away leaving hundreds of people without food or shelter; land, stock, and human lives were lost. Tongue can never tell the destruction done by the great flood of 1916. Your humble servant had to walk thirty-two miles before any way of transportation could be secured so as to reach the seat of the District Conference. This flood has greatly affected our work on the district; many of the men will be cut short
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 45
in both their salary and benevolence. Notwithstanding they have worked hard, having many odds to meet; they have met them man- fully and stayed on the field, true to their trust and not found want- ing where duty called them. I am glad to state that the district is in splendid condition; we have Christian fellowship one with the other.
I have looked after all the interest of the church, and in every congregation presented to the people the various causes of the church and have urged them to stand faithfully by them. I have also urged them that they be more benevolent and that they become self-supporting so as to be able to help our needy fields.
Work Among Young People
We have given special attention to the young people throughout the district. One of the great evils among the youth is unrest; they seem to think that money is to be found anywhere rather than where they are. Too many of them are leaving the country and going to the towns and cities where they have no way of making a liveli- hood, and instead of bettering their condition they breed crime, and in many cases death. They need to learn that stability and economy are among the things needed to make success in life. We have urged upon them to become readers of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, which will help them in life's work.
Convention — The Sunday School and Epworth League Convention Was Held in Shelby, May 19-21
The Convention was well attended and much interest manifested by the young people. Community life was discussed as well as the Sunday School and Epworth League, and some advanced steps were taken along that line of work. We have striven to make an increase in the enrollment of both the Sunday School and League.
We have urged the pastors and Sunday School workers to take more interest in the work among the young people, and take an active part in all the activities of the Church. Too many are idlers while a few are trying to do the work. Soul-saving is the great need of the Church. We are not winning souls for Christ and adding members to the Church as we should; we depend too largely upon our fall meetings which sometimes fall short of the mark. We need to keep the fire burning all the year and at every service, and give the people an opportunity to come into the fold of Christ.
46 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
District Conference
We held two sessions of the District Conference; the first at Bessemer City and the second at Newton. At Bessemer we had only a few attendants on account of the flood. We adjourned to meet again at the time and place, subject to the call of the District Super- intendent. We met this time at Newton where we had a splendid session which was well attended. Reports showed that good work was being done on the district.
Education
I have given special attention to this cause, both in public and in private conversation. I am urging our people to make better provision and greater sacrifices for the education of the youth. Douglas Academy, our district school, is doing fine work. The out- look for the school is good.
Bennett College
We have advocated the cause of the college on every charge and have urged the young people to turn their attention that way. We feel that Bennett College should rest upon the hearts of us all, and that we should have a better understanding of her affairs so that we can properly present the cause of the institution to our people as a conference. I fear we are not well enough posted in the affairs of the college.
Allen Home
This is an industrial school for the training of the girls. Permit me to say that faithful work is being done by Miss A. B. Dole and her competent corps of teachers, who are giving themselves to the work of helping to make the world better. This school and its work should be encouraged by all.
Deaconess Home
The Deaconess' Home at Asheville, under the leadership of Miss Minor, is doing splendid work in training the women for Christian service. We commend the great work that is being done by the faithful women of the Church.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 47
Kent Home at Greensboro
I have also advocated the cause of Kent Home, that is training our girls in domestic science and fitting them for life's work. We commend Mrs. Donaldson and her coworkers for the noble work they are doing among our people.
Summary
Asheville. — C. K. Brown has done a splendid year's work, and from all indications the charge is in good condition.
Black Mountain. — S. B. Cornelius. This is only a mission point. Nothing has been accomplished.
Boone. — J. A. Cherry. This work has not done so well as we had hoped for. It is one of those mountain charges where but little can be done only in the spring and summer.
Bessemer City and Kings Mountain. — R. B. Rhyne. This charge has made great headway. The church at Bessemer City has been enlarged and beautified. It was at this point we held our District Conference number one. This charge stands well up to the front along all lines.
Catawba. — H. Fink. This charge has done well. Some improve- ments have been made on the church at Mt. Mourn. Everything seems to be doing well.
Buffalo. — S. H. Presley. Good work has been done on this charge. The people are poor and to some extent are not willing to do all that they might do. The work is doing fairly well.
Forest City and Brooks.— W. M. Crawford. On the 5th of July the parsonage with all its contents were destroyed by fire and, sorry to say, without any insurance; otherwise the work is in splendid shape. A good year's work has been done.
Franklin. — A. M. Robinson. Our work at this place is on the up- grade. Good work has been done along all lines. The charge has never done so well as it is doing at this time.
Gastonia and Mount Holly. — J. C. Robbins. This charge has taken a step in the right direction. The old parsonage and lot has been exchanged for another site and a new five-room parsonage erected that is a credit to the Conference. They are also planning to enlarge the church at Mount Holly.
Hendersonville. — A. M. Erwin. We have not been able to do any- thing at this point. We have a few members here, but on account of nonsupport we have been unable to keep a man on the field.
Hickory^ — N. M. Black. A good year's work has been done at
48 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
Hickory. They have all the departments of the Church at work by both old and young, which is the best way to success.
Jefferson. — A. D. McDonald. This brother has labored under very heavy burdens all the year. For the first half of the year his wife died, then followed the flood, cutting off all travel and communica- tion for more than thirty days. He has only been able to be on the work part of the year. He reports the work in fairly good condition.
Lenoir. — D. L. Thomas. The work here is in good shape. Some work has been done on the parsonage, new concrete steps built for the church.

Machpelah. — E. H. McArthur. Not in years has this work done so well as it has this year. Good work has been done along all lines.
Marion and Old Fort. — S. J. Hayden. At this point the work is doing fairly well. Reports show some advance being made.
Marion Circuit. — A. M. Erwin has done a splendid year's work. Some improvements have been made on the church.
Mayhew. — W. Ellison reports this charge in advance of last year. A new lot has been purchased at Cornelius for the erection of another church to take the place of the one started some years ago; this will put the church in a more desirable place. The work is doing well.
Maiden. — T. D. McCorkle. This is a new point of only a few mem- bers. Nothing of importance has been done. The outlook is good.
Mooresboro and Brackettown. — A. B. Withrow. A good year's work has been done by this brother, and the outlook for the charge is bright.
Newton. — R. Smith. We are proud to say that this charge has taken on new life. Some improvements have been made on the church and parsonage.
Sherrill's Ford. — P. F. Johnson has worked hard against great odds but proved to be true to the trust given him and leaves the work in very good shape.
Statesville. — S. R. McCorkle has done a fine year's work on this charge. His report shows the charge to be in better condition than in years.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 49
Shelby and Cherryville. — J. C. Addie has closed a very successful yea The work is in a healthy condition.
West Asheville. — E. I. S. Swann. Fine work has been done at this point. The church has been newly covered, electric lights installed, with other improvements made.
Wilkesboro. — B. F. Thomas. This charge was hard hit by the flood. No point on the district suffered more than did Wilkesboro. Many of the people lost all they had. The charge has done all that could be looked for.
The Spiritual Condition of the District
All the pastors report good revivals on all the charges with many additions to the membership and the congregation increased. The spiritual condition of the district is encouraging.
I have given special attention to each department of the Church. I have looked after the deeds of the Church and parsonage property and have urged the pastors and trustees to see that all are insured, quite a number of which have been insured this year.
We have looked carefully after the Church records, and we are pleased to state that much needed improvement is being made and we now have in many of the churches records properly kept.
Church Indebtedness
Report of the Trustees show that church indebtedness has been reduced, leaving the property in much better condition than at this time last year.
We conclude, dear Bishop and brethren, by saying that we, the District Superintendent, and pastors, and the faithful membership of the Western District have preached, prayed, and worked together for the removal of obstacles to the advancement of the Gospel of our Lord and His Christ.
I am yours for Christ and the salvation of the world.
A. H. Newsome, D. S.
WILMINGTON DISTRICT
Dear Bishop and Brethren: — I am grateful to the heavenly Father for the privilege of laboring with Him another year for the promo- tion of His Church and for the establishment of His kingdom in man's heart. Through the divine help that has attended our labors some good results have been realized. The ministers remain loyal to the grand old Methodist Episcopal Church, and all of them seem to be intent on pushing forward every interest of the Church. The 4
50 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
laymen willingly cooperate with the ministers, rallying to all causes and cheerfully responding to every call that the rapidly progressing Church of their choice is making upon them.
Almost all of the departments of church work are attempted by the charges on the district. The Sunday Schools are well organized and are doing good work. A few are organized into temperance societies. Nearly all of them are organized into missionary socie- ties. The Home Department is nowhere attempted but is much needed. The Epworth League flourishes at several points. It thrives in the spring and summer but declines in the fall and winter. There are very few perennial leagues. A general revival of young people's work is much needed throughout the district. The Ladies' Aid and the Woman's Home Missionary societies are operated on the larger charges with good advantage to the churches. At several charges classes for the religious instruction of children have been formed. At every Quarterly Conference I have urged upon the pastor and the people the importance of observing the rules of our Discipline respecting the instruction of children. Churches too long negligent in this matter promise to make amends.
The special sermon on Education required by the Discipline was preached by nearly all of the pastors. It is to be regretted that a few failed to meet this requirement. It is a great pleasure to report that some of the pastors regularly preach special sermons to. the children. The wholesome effects of these sermons can readily be realized by the increase in attendance in both the Sunday Schools and the regular church services.
The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the North Carolina Conference held its Annual Convention at Laurinburg on the Wil- mington District. A larger interest in the work of the society was created. The Sunday School and Epworth League Convention of the district and the District Conference were held at Piney Grove and Beauty Spot, respectively, and they were well attended. In connec- tion with these, Community Welfare meetings were conducted with much benefit to the communities and the district. The revival sea- son began with the District Conference and swept through the entire district.
At contiguous points charges often unite in special effort to carry forward some church enterprise. These meetings are rapidly be- coming a source of a larger cooperative spirit, great encourage- ment, and real fraternity. The several churches belonging to one charge have been encouraged to assemble often at the church most central in order to enlarge acquaintance and develop friendships. This is yielding good fruit. There has been an actual increase in the membership which the tables will not show, due to an error of nearly three hundred members reported previously on the Maxton
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 51
charge. Improvements and betterments have been made generally. Thre has been a rise in the salary of several of the pastors, and in each instance the people are to be congratulated for paying the full assessment in this stringent year. More and more the laymen are coming to realize that in order for their ministers to be leaders, as they should, it is very necessary for them to be paid higher salaries. We realize that the support given our retired ministers is inadequate and we are making effort to increase the amount raised for them. All the benevolent causes required by the Discip- line have been presented with proper instructions. Quite all the parsonages and most of the church buildings are insured. There is very little debt on the church property, and we hope that in the near future we shall be able to make a clean sweep of all indebted- ness.
Three of the retired ministers — J. D. Hairston, W. P. Hayes, and H. O. Frederick — live on this district. They are often present in the Quarterly Conferences and quarterly meetings to aid with good counsel and cheerful messages. They are all in good health and wield wholesome Christian influence where they live.
We have no church school of our denomination on the Wilmington District. There are some good schools of other denominations and many of our members patronize them. We continually call their attention to the superior advantages offered in our own schools, and we are hoping to secure larger attendance at Bennett College and Allen Home.
In superintending the district I am trying to work with the pastors and the people that we may all be coworkers with the Master and that our laboring together may produce abundant fruit.
S. A. Peeler, D. S. WINSTON DISTRICT
Beloved Bishop and Brethren: — Once more I have thankfully come in your presence to render an account of that sacred commis- sion intrusted to my care as District Superintendent of the Winston District, North Carolina Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church. Permit me to say, "From Him who doeth all things well," I have diligently sought light, guidance, inspiration, and knowledge in order that I may steer aright the important affairs committed to my jurisdiction.
The District Conference
The District Conference convened at Trinity, N. C, July 12-16, 1916. The attendance was unusually large. The literary features and address in subject-matter, thought, and inspiration easily took first place in the history of the district. The business features were
52 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
carried out in accordance with the laws and regulations pertaining to a District Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It goes without saying that the hospitalities and courtesies from the mem- bers and friends were all one could desire.
The Convention
The Epworth League, Sunday School, and Brotherhood Convention convened at Walnut Cove, August 18-23, 1916. In every respect this was an ideal convention. The literary part was that of the highest order, and the business part unique and tactful. The delegation was large as well as representative. The young people of this con- vention raised for seating a recitation room at Bennett College $27.50, and they pledged themselves to increase the amount to $50. Prof. J. A. McRae is still the successful leader of these young people.
Temporal Economy
(a) We have kept a keen eye of interest on the care and improve- ments of church property. We are of the opinion that it is ungrate- ful to the ministry for any man or set of men to preach in a church until it falls on them, without making efforts of improvement. We have seen to it that no man fares well long on the Winston District who is there just for his salary. He must give evidence that he is worthy of salary by building, paying debts, and beautifying the church and parsonage. The amount raised for improvements on the district during this Conference year, according to pastors' re- ports of the Fourth Quarterly Conference, is $5,749.
(b) The Woman's Home Missionary and Ladies' Aid Societies have been fostered and encouraged in every commendable way upon the district. Telling in effect and illustrious in achievements is the ac- knowledged record of these societies in my area.
(c) Ministerial support has gradually advanced for four years, according to report of records. The records also show an increase in church building and improvements. It further demonstrates the fact that if the minister wants his salary let him demand it by effi- ciency as a church worker, pastor, and preacher.
There is not a charge within the bounds of the district but what I have urged the claims of ministerial support, and that upon the pro rata basis.
The Church
We here have reference to the membership. The reports will show an increase though not as large as in previous years. The
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 53
revival season with us was generally rainy and results as to con- versions were smaller than usual, yet we have added to the mem- bership 196.
The death angel has visited our district and summoned forty sol- diers of Christ from the Church Militant to the Church Triumphant. Stricken with grief though we be, yet we are striving when the mist has rolled away to greet them in that celestial city.
According to the reports of the pastors of the respective charges of the district, there have been forty marriages solemnized among our membership. No divorces have been granted, and so far as I know no applications have been made for any. We have urged the importance of infant baptism as well as the necessity of the baptism of adults. The number of baptisms this year is ninety-two.
Institutions
We have used every available means to aid the institutions of our Conference financially and numerically. There are fifty-three stu- dents attending our Church schools from the Winston District. We raised and gave as a special gift at the District Conference $22 for Bennett College. The young people at their convention raised and donated as a special gift $27.50. We are planning to do even more of real constructive work for Bennett College. Large plans are now in embryo for Bennett College on the Winston District. Prof. W. B. Windsor, President pro tem of Bennett College, is being heartily supported by us. Kent Home, to use the words of that consecrated woman, Mrs. Donaldson, Superintendent, was never half so bright for thrift, industry, and success as now. This district leads in send- ing students to that Home as well as to Bennett College. Allen In- dustrial Home, nestled among the rugged and sun-kissed mountains of the Blue Ridge, has our support, sympathy, and students.
Boards and Societies
Pursuant to the duties of a District Superintendent, I have en- deavored faithfully to execute my duty in presenting the benevolent claims of the Church. I have, as far as possible, carried out the disciplinary instruction authorized by the General Conference in appointing the respective committees in the Quarterly Conferences of my territory.
Church Papers
In the main our members are very indolent in reading the Church papers. The majority of them will read most anything else before
54 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
a church paper. This is not an encouraging statement but rather an embarrassing one; nevertheless the truth remains. The South- western Christian Advocate has been represented loud and long upon this district. We are never wanting for a word of commenda- tion for this paper. Other church papers and periodicals are also recommended to our people.

FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 55
Lexington and Thomasville.— M. M. Jones, Pastor. There is much to do on this charge, and the pastor must exercise a great deal of tact, skill, and hard work. He has shouldered this responsibility- like a hero, working hard to reduce the debt, increase the member- ship and the benevolent interest of the church. He reports an in- crease in benevolent collections.
Madison and Stoneville.— W. W. Pope, Pastor. He is very popular on this charge. He has conducted himself so as to receive com- mendation from white and colored people of his charge. He is con- sidered safe as a leader of the Christian ministry. He reports an increase in every thing.

Money raised at Pilot Mountain for new church is the record of this high tone Christian gentleman.
Mount Airy Circuit.— S. R. Gwyn, Pastor. This charge is sparsely settled yet we have some good people here. The pastor has labored hard with some results. The benevolent collections increased.

South High Point.— G. W. Morehead, Pastor. This is a small station but as loyal a church as there is in the Conference. The five
56 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
years Brother Morehead has been here have been years of both spiritual and material growth. He is a warhorse of the old type but as true as steel. He never forgets the obligations of his church.
Trinity aud Liberty. — W. O. Thomas, Pastor. Here we have a thrifty and energetic little congregation. This is due, in main, to the pastor, for he himself is a man of thrift and alertness; and his people have caught his spirit and custom. He reports things in splendid condition on this charge.
Walnut Cove. — J. J. Blanton, Pastor. He has been quite a source of inspiration to this work. He is regarded among his people as being scholarly, energetic, and an excellent preacher. The work grows under his management.
West Thomasville. — Extinguished.
Winston-Mount Pleasant. — W. B. Scales, Pastor. Moses was faith- ful in leading the Israelitish host of his day, and so is W. B. Scales in leading the host of Mount Pleasant in his day. He has prayed, preached, and worked until he has a splendid church house and a representative audience to assemble therein. He has raised much money for the payment of church debts. In meantime has increased the benevolent cause.
St. James and Oak Grove, now in part May's Chapel. — S. L. May, Pastor. This brother has not only been faithful but patient as well, for it took a great deal of both to accomplish the great work he has done. He has under his pastorate erected a cemented block church in a more suitable location in the city, and the majority of his mem- bers followed him there while many remained at the old St. James; but May's Chapel has a full house every Sunday, and he has left as many members at St. James Church as he found there six years ago. St. James, too, has been completely remodeled, making it practi- cally new. Walkertown has been enlarged. More than $1,000 has been raised on this charge for church-building and improvement. In meantime not a benevolent interest has lagged in the church.
Winston — St. Paul. — H. L. Ashe, Pastor. This is in many respects the leading church of our Conference. It was badly damaged by fire during the month of September, but having a far-sighted man as pastor there was insurance sufficient to sustain the damage. As soon as the fog and mist were cleared away that leader of men as well as preacher was on the spot with carpenters, and in a short while made things even more neat and attractive than before; and in the face of this he has raised for parsonage debt and other church indebtedness more than $4,000 this year. We are not sur- prised when echoes come from every angle of his church to return him to us again.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 57
Retired Ministers
Our retired ministers of this district are in good health save Brother Elisha Howard who is feeble. They are Revs. D. Brooks, F. L. Bost, W. A. Pryor, S. M. Hanes, E. Howard. Beautiful in deportment, refined in qualities, and sacred to the memory of those who know them is their imperishable record.
The Bishop
To Bishop Bristol:
You are a welcome guest among us. You have long since en- deared yourself to us. We hail you as easily one of the foremost men in Methodism, in thought, refinement, eloquence, a Christian gentleman and judicial ability. We greet you as the bright and morning star upon the bench of the Episcopacy. God bless Bishop Henderson! We all loved him and love him still, yet I am elated to know that in removing him and placing you has not in the least lowered the commendable status of the Chattanooga area.
Words of Thanks
I voice the sentiment of my brethren in saying I extend thanks to the general officers of the Church who have in any way helped to make possible the success of the district; thanks to the ministers and laity for courtesies toward and cooperation with me in the work on the district.
Fraternally yours, R. W. Winchester.

METHODIST BROTHERHOOD
We, your Committee, beg leave to submit tbe following report: Whereas the Methodist Brotherhood has been instrumental in bringing our people together and interspersing among them the Christian influence, and whereas its teachings give us a clearer con- ception of Christ and His kingdom in this world,
Resolved, That we give this organization our special attention as ministers of the North Carolina Conference.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE
Resolution
Whereas the keeping of the Sabbath is a command of God and we, his subjects should humbly bow to his mandates, and whereas, for centuries, it has been a religious practice in all civilized and Christian lands, be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the North Carolina Conference, urge our people to a strict observance of this holy day. Respectfully submitted,
W. M. Wells. D. C. Skeen. S. R. McCorkle.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY
Without a doubt the American Bible Society is the great light- house from which comes the religious rays of gospel light, and that we recognize it to be of such: therefore be it
Resolved, That we, as preachers and leaders of the North Carolina Conference, stand by this worthy cause by faithfully presenting it to our people.
(Signed) J. C. Robbins. R. N. Brooks.
FOREIGN MISSIONS

BOARD OF SUNDAY SCHOOLS
In the year of our Lord 1908 the Board of Sunday Schools was organized; the Methodist Episcopal Church had not awakened to the significance of the Sunday School. For years it had contented itself with an average annual contribution of $28,000 to the Sunday School cause, a mere pittance as compared to the task.
The increase in the Sunday School membership of the Church had averaged only about 35,000 for ten years. During this period nearly one-third of all the Annual Conferences had decreased either in the number of their Sunday Schools or in the number of their Sunday School scholars.
It is a significant fact that the period of Sunday school indiffer- ence was one of the leanest periods of church increase in our his- tory.
1. Whereas in 1908 a movement was launched to awaken the Church of its Sunday School opportunity; for eight years a cam- paign of agitation, education, and inspiration has been waged to arouse the Church to vision and to action:
2. Whereas this movement has brought results to the Church — an astonishing increase of both finance and membership, and
3. Whereas we find that the total increase in the Sunday School membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1897-1907, one decade, 10 years, 35,300; in 1908-1915, 156,700; hence the total in- crease in the Sunday School membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1897-1907, 10 years, 353,008. That in 1908-1915, 8 years, our Sunday School membership equaled 1,252,285,
Resolved, first, That the N. C. Conference shall urge every pastor to raise his full assessment for the Board of Sunday Schools.
Resolved, second, That we shall cooperate with Dr. C. C. Jacobs in carrying out the plans of the Board of Sunday Schools.
Resolved, third, That each Sunday School superintendent of the N. C. Conference shall have direct communication with Dr. C. C. Jacobs so that each local Sunday School shall have a knowledge of the plans of the Board of Sunday Schools, that each local Sunday
60 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
School may work in harmony with the plans of the Board of Sunday Schools and aid in carrying out the same.
Respectfully submitted, W. Ellison.
E. I. S. Swan. A. W. McMaster STATE OF THE CHURCH
It is given the modern church to apply the principles of its plant- ing period; Christ's principles were generic. Details were left to the self-legislation of the Christ-heart. The Golden Rule, translated into laws and institutions, will be the Magna Charta of Christen- dom. Applied Christianity is the demand of the times. The Church is not to hold but to storm the fort.
An army rots in its entrenchments. The Church cannot live at home unless it goes abroad. The stagnant pool is a distillery of death. The unsearchable riches of Christ can be had without money but they cannot be kept unless they pay the taxes of his kingdom. Paying and praying for a blessing are equally right and twin angelic. Prayers for the heathen, with cash for an amen, are alone effective. "The love of Christ constraineth us" is the diamond drill that reaches the ore beds. The first work of a preacher sent to a church that gives according to its meanness is to bring its members to the mourner's bench.
The Church should not yield to statistical pride and estimate progress by its finances. She must ascend the Mount of Vision, not to dwell in idle ecstasy, but to be strengthened for toil and trial in the tear-pitted dust of earth. The Church's ultimate citizenship may be in heaven, but she has a vital and practical interest in the citizenship that is here and now. Today the Church is challenged to the open problems, unknown to apostolic times and the dark ages, which press the Church for solution.
The Church must take the open and, in the panoply of God, defeat its foes, disinfect its fold and rescue the nation.
Remembering the promised presence and power of its great Cap- tain, the Church should not be discouraged. With Heaven for an ally and Truth for a weapon, the conflict must end in the triumph of righteousness, and we must work, pray, pay, and fight down every ill and wrong menacing our sacred altars and our starry flag.
Christ's command is "Follow Me!"
And our response should be: Only Thou, our Leader be, and "We still will follow thee!
C. K. Brown. H. L. Ashe. N. J. Pass.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 61
TEMPERANCE
We rejoice in the wonderful progress of the anti-liquor movement during recent months and years. Over two-thirds of the counties and over one-half of the States in the Union are now under prohibi- tion law. Over one-half the people in the United States live under a no-license umbrella. We believe that under the leadership and favor of God the time is not far distant when constitutional prohi- bition will make this a salonless nation and the Stars and Stripes a stainless flag. We most heartily endorse the plans and works of the Methodist Temperance Society under the leadership of the Rev. Clarence True Wilson, D.D., and our beloved Dr. J. N. C. Coggin: therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the ministers of the N. C. Conference, will do all we can to promote the cause of temperance.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
We recognize that education and religion go hand in hand. We also hold that no education is worth the while unless it is flavored throughout with Christianity. The school and the Church are co- ordinate; they are so interwoven and so interlocked that they are inseparable. We therefore wish to urge that we as a Conference recognize Bennett College, Allen Home, Gammon Theological Semi- nary and other kindred schools within the bounds of the North Carolina Conference and our great Methodism as a chief asset to a healthy condition of the Church. We urge that our Conference sup- port the suggestion that we arrange a program in advance looking to the sustenance and support of the above named institutions for the present and the years to come, and pledge our hearty support to the Committee on Arrangements for the coming convention. We also urge that the great educational interest as supported by the Board of the Freedman's Aid Society.

ALLEN INDUSTRIAL HOME
As visitors appointed by the last session of the North Carolina Conference to the Allen Industrial Home located at Asheville, N. C,
62 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
it is our pleasure to make the following report of our observations and impressions:
Pursuant to your appointment we visited the institution and looked into its every department. We found the institution crowded to its doors by a body of students typical of the best young life of the Church and race. We found the teachers abundant in labors and their work worthy of the highest commendation. The results accom- plished at Allen Home are such as to give inspiration and hope to all who wish the best for our daughters and who are seeking to develop to the highest possibilities of strength this agency for build- ing up the Kingdom of Christ.
We submit that especially should this school have a large place in the sympathies of the members of the North Carolina Conference and receive substantial aid from them in the accomplishment of its exalted purposes. Perhaps the most effective work being done today among our people is the work being done by the Woman's Home Missionary Society.
Allen Home has an enrollment of over two hundred students with fifty girls in the boarding department. There are eight teachers. We were pleased to note the thoroughness of the work done and the fine moral and religious sentiment pervading the whole school.
A good normal course is provided by the school and its graduates find no difficulty in passing the State's examination for license to teach.
We were pleased to note that the Bible is taught as a part of the regular course, and that daily religious services are held in the school's beautiful chapel. To all this is added the careful super- vision of Miss Alsie B. Dole who for almost a generation has been the devoted and wonderfully efficient superintendent of the institu- tion. Through all the varying fortunes of the passing years she has stood by the school and the Church, giving to both her utmost zeal, her best thought, and her heart's deepest and best love. We would record our appreciation of the work being done at Allen Home, and heartily congratulate Miss Dole and the Woman's Home Missionary Society and the Church at large for the remarkable suc- cess of this school through the years. We should all be profoundly thankful that here in an atmosphere of devoted love for Jesus Christ our daughters are being trained for Christian service. The com- mittee finds no hesitancy in commending Allen Home to the confi- dence of the Church and to the Christian public everywhere.
In this connection we would also report that the Deaconess' Training School is in successful operation under the very capable supervision of Miss Ida Miner, a woman of ability and consecration.
FIFTY-EIGHTH SESSION 63
The school has acquired a fine piece of property in almost immedi- ate proximity to our church and Allen Home.
It is with sorrow that we record the sudden death of Miss Rose E. White, one of the teachers in the Deaconess' Training School. Miss White had charge of the kindergarten work of the school and was thoroughly consecrated to the work. A few weeks ago, on a Saturday afternoon, she climbed Sunset Mountain that overlooks beautiful Asheville; she wanted to watch the sun go down at the close of that splendid day. Next morning she arose early, and apparently as well as usual, when suddenly and without warning she heard the one clear call. Her sun went down while it was yet day and she entered the land of unclouded day. Her life was a blessing, her memory will be a benediction.

FREEDMAN'S AID SOCIETY
We, your Committee on Freedman's Aid Society, make the follow- ing report:
Whereas, at the close of the Civil War four millions of our people were freed from the shackles of physical slavery, but still wore the shackles of ignorance and superstition, and
Whereas the Methodist Episcopal Church has been working for more than half a century to remove ignorance and superstition and bring to our people the light of Christian civilization; and
Whereas our beloved Bennett College, Kent, and Allen Home, all located in the bounds of the N. C. Conference, and stand for Chris- tian education for the sons and daughters of the freedman, therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of the North Carolina Conference, pledge our hearty support and cooperation with the Freedman's Aid Society in building up Bennett College and use every effort to push forward all of our interests.
P. I. Wells. W. B. Scales. G. W. Byars.
COMPLIMENTARY RESOLUTION
In closing our session we wish to declare our hearty appreciation and gratitude to the members and friends of Wilson Chapel and Pastor Caldwell, and the pastors and members of other churches in
64 NORTH CAROLINA CONFERENCE
West Raleigh and the city of Raleigh, who have extended to us loving and delightful hospitality.
To Bishop Bristol for a presidency that has given us profound satisfaction alike in the guidance of business and in the spiritual and practical inspirations of his sermon and devotional addresses, and to the janitor and all others who have in any way contributed to our enjoyment by their courteous services.
