CONFERENCE REPORTS.
APPENDIX A.
Report No. i on Books and Periodicals.
Your committee on books and periodicals beg leave to report that we consider the continued publication of the Holston Annual very important to the success of our work. It is an indispensible book of reference to our preachers, and when read by our laymen, calculated to increase their inteli- gence in church matters and to stimulate them to greater ac- tivity and liberality.
We, therefore, recommend the folio wing action, viz :
1. That the secretary be requested to make arrangements as heretofore to publish at least 1,500 copies of the Annual as soon as possible after the adjournment of conference.
2. That a member of the body be appointed at once to procure subscriptions for that number, at a price named b}r the secretary, to be paid for, down.
3. That the joint board of finance be required to lay an annual assessment of not less that $250 upon the whole church in our conference bounds for the publication of the Annual in the future, to apportion said amount among the pending elders' districts to be divided among the charges by the boards of district stewards, and to be collected as other conference collections.
4. That a publishing secretary be elected at this session for a term of four years, whose duty it shall be to make ar- rangements before the meeting of conference for the publica- tion of the Annual, and to prepare and to begin to forward the minutes to the publisher during the sessions, and to bring out the Annual with the least delay possible.
5. That said secretary shall have as compensation such amount as may be agreed upon between him and the board of finance.
Report on Books and Periodicals No. 2.
Your committee beg leave further to report, that the ex- hibit of the book agents show that the Publishing House is
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 33
in a sound financial condition. The house is doing much to spread good books and religious papers ; but it must be evident to every man of intelligence, that the agencies for putting our literature into the hands of our people are not as vigorous and effective as they ought to be. It is probably true that many of our preachers are not very active in circu- lating our books and periodicals, and very few do their whole duty in this line. We are therefore, pleased to note the new departure taken by the general conference with reference to the sale of our literature. We have reason to hope that the colportage system adopted by the general conference, at its last session, vigorously operated will greatly increase the sales of our books and papers, and go far toward placing the standard and current works of Methodism in the hands of Methodist and other families of the land.
The Nashville Christian Advocate, edited by a member of our own conference, is fully up to the standard erected by his immediate predecesor in office. Indeed we think we see not only a change but an improvement in the tone and make up of the paper. It has a freshness, boldness, and versatility that please as well as, if not better than, the suavity, pru- dence, and studied system and uniformity of the former able administration. The paper should be widely circulated among us.
Money, brains and pains have greatly improved the Quarterly Review. We hesitate not to say that every preaeher- in our conference should take and read it, and that efforts should be made to place it in every intelligent family of our charges. Our ministry and membership, as a whole, must move up to a higher level of mental activity or be left by an advancing civilization.
We are justly proud of the thorough editing and neat printing of our Sunday School periodicals, edited as they are by a member of this body. They are scholarly popular, or- thodox, and evangelical. Their mechanical make up is respect- able, and the illustrations, display skill in selection and wis- dom in adaptation. They are the most prosperous and lucra- tive department of our publishing interests, and during the past year netted to the church $38,000.00.
The Missionary Reporter , Woman's Missionary Advocate and the Leaflets, the two latter edited by elect ladies of Hol- ston, deserve honorable mention.
WTe are as much convinced as ever of the necessity of a conference organ. Everything should be done that can be done to bring the Holston Methodist up to the high ideal of its publishers. It has done well with the means at its com- mand ; but preachers and people should so rally to its sup- port as to put it within the power of the publishers to make
84 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
the paper what it ought to be. The time has come when first-class literary work will not, as a rule, be done gratui- tuously ; and a large subscription list should be given to the paper to enable the publishers to give employment to the best talent in the church.
It is the opinion of your committee that the Holston Methodist and the conference should be drawn more closely together, and that the paper, being conducted by men of its own choice and appointment, should be such as to voice the sentiment of the church, and boldly set forth, as heretofore and even more clearly and forcibly, the doctrine of Christ as embodied in Methodist teaching and usage.
In view of the foregoing we offer for adoption the follow- ing :
Resolved, That it is our desire and purpose to be more careful and diligent hereafter in the circulation of the books and periodicals of the church, and especially of our confer- ence organ the Holston Methodist.
Respectfully Submitted,
R. N. Price, Chairman.

APPENDIX E.
Report of the Committee on the State of the Church.
"I am the vine ye are the branches" saiththeSonof God. This figure indicates the mystical union between Christ and his church. It not only teaches the intimate relationship be- tween our Founder and ourselves, but the esentiality of this relationship. Separate the branch from the parent stem and death is the result.
The above cardinal truth is still proclaimed by our preach- ers and accepted by our people, all emphasize that we must be born again.
In undivided Holston last year we reported about 7,000 conversions, the number this year will go higher, pro- portionately. This is our boast. That men are born into the kingdom of God through our agency is sufficient proof of the character of our faith.
But the reports submitted here do not go into the details of spiritual life and its varied phenomena.
That we may meet the conditions of the Bible and there- by become heirs of a large spiritual estate we must "give at- tendance to reading," we must search the scriptures. That our danger lies just here there can be no doubt. Our Bishop ■on last Sabbath declared that the sole instrument of the spiritual darkness and death of the ancient doctors of the law was ignorance of the scriptures. This ignorance in the case of the Scribes and Pharisees resulted in the rejection of the Son of God and their ruin, likewise our downfall some day may be traced to our neglect of the Bible.
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 37
In the same connection we would refer to family religion. The family should be a heaven in miniature. The spirit of devotion should pervade the whole family circle. Herein are found the springs of spiritual life and power both in the house and all the household of God.
Again, we would urge a wise use of all the christian forces at hand. There are doubtless greater numbers at work in the whole church than ever before, nevertheless, there are idlers by the thousand. We hold that every member of the church should become a faithful worker in the vineyard. Our people should read more, pray more, and contend more earn- estly for "tbe faith once delivered to the Saints." Jesus of Nazareth looks down on us. He commands us to take the world. Then let us, to a man, to the fight.
James I. Cash, Chairman.
SUPPLEMENTARY .
Concerning the communication of D. Vance Price touch- ing the founding of an orphanage in Southwest Virginia re- ferred to this committee we would report :
We are in hearty sympathy with the proposed enterprise but think^it best to refer the matter to a committee composed of the presiding elders of the Virginia part of our conference and a layman from each' district, to be elected by the presid- ing elders to have full power to act in the premises and in- augurate the movement, if in their judgement it is right and practicable James I. Cash, Chairman.
APPENDIX F.
Report of Board of Colportage.
At a meeting of the board of colportage Rev. Jacob Smith was duly recommended to the conference for general colporter, and it is further recommended that our general colporter be instructed to aid as far as practicable the efforts of the American Bible Society to place a copy of the Bible in the hands of each of our Sunday School scholars.
Respectfully Submitted,
C. T. Carroll, Chairman.

APPENDIX G.
Report of the Board of Education.
PART FIRST.
The board of education beg leave to submit the follow- ing report :
We deem a discussion of the importance of christian edu- cation in this report both unnecessary and out of place, and we shall therefore content ourselves with a brief statement of facts as they are related to the institutions of learning which are under the supervision of this body.
We are gratified to learn from reports both written and verbal that all our schools, with perhaps one exception, have opened their present sessions with a largely increased pat- ronage over former years. Our people are becoming aroused to the importance of giving their sons and daughters the ad- vantages of a liberal christian culture, and of sending them to the schools owned and operated by their own church. This is as it should be, Methodist's should patronize Methodist institutions .
EMORY AND HENRY COLLEGE.
This old and popular institution, now that it is relieved of the debt owed the State of Virginia, which for 3Tears clogged the wheels of its progress, is bounding forward with the vigor and elasticity of youth. One year ago, the joint board of trustee's and visitors called to its presidency that cultured and enterprising member of your body, Dr. James Atkins, who at once entered upon the discharge of the duties connected with the station to which he had been called ; and results already vindicate the wisdom of the action of the board. Needed improvements have been made upon the property. A spirit of hopefulness has been inspired among the friends of the college, the board of instruction has been thoroughly organized, and the number of students has been largely increased. The maticulations to date of the present session are equal to that of the entire session las t of year . Dr . Atkins has associated with him a full faculty of rare ability, a faculty second to that of no school of similar grade within our knowledge. At no period in its history has Emory and Henry been better equipped to do thorough work in the physical, intellectual and moral development of young men than at the present time.
While we rejoice in the growing prosperity of this grand school, we bespeak for it a still more liberal patronage.
HIWASSEE COLLEGE.
This school has a history of which its friends may well
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 39
be proud. Though limited in means and laboring under discouragements it has accomplished a noble work. Hun- dreds of young men, trained within its walls, have gone forth to adorn the different fields of useful endeavor and to benefit the world ; some of them with means too limited, to acquire a liberal education in more expensive institutions. The pros- pects of Hiwassee are brightning. With Dr. Brunner still at its head, assisted by a corps of competent and faithful teach- ers, this school is steadily moving on in the prosecution of the noble work to which it was consecrated forty years ago. We give to this school our endorsement, and commend it to the liberal patronage of our people.
MARTHA WASHINGTON COLLEGE.
This institution of female learning, situated in the growing- town of Abingdon, Ya., is now under the direction of Rev. S. N. Barker, an eminent educator, to whom the property has been leased for a number of years. Mr. Barker brings to the responsible position which he occupies experience, ability, tact and indomitable energy, and though he has been con- nected with the school but a few months, the touches of his skillful hand are seen. A large and handsome brick structure, to be used for a chapel and dining hall, has recently been erected ; all the rooms in the college have been renovated, and supplied with new Brussell's carpets, new furniture; in a word, everything necessary to the convenience and comfort of young ladies has been provided.
The faculty is composed of twelve experienced and thor- oughly competent trachers; and never before was Martha Washington so well prepared to do efficient work in all the departments of female education.
The present term has opened under flattering auspices. The boarding patronage is over one hundred per cent, larger than it was last year, and the local patronage is also better than it has been for a number of j^ears.
Let our people avail themselves of the superior advan- tages which this excellent school offers.
SULLINS COLLEGE.
The board of trust has recalled to the presidency of this college the true and tried, Dr. D. S. Hearon, who so ably pre- sided over its fortunes in former }^ears. Dr. Hearon is too well known as a capable instructor, and as an efficient presi- dent of female colleges to need special commendation in the report. His faculty has been selected with special regard to the fitness of its members for the respective positions which they are designed to occupy. The school with the prestage of a noble history is starting out under its new management with prospects of enlarged prosperity and usefulness. The
40 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL
present enrollment in the boarding department is largely in advance of former years . The growing patronage demands the enlargement of the boarding capacity of the institution, and to meet this demand the erection of an additional building is contemplated in the near future.
We recommend that the appointment of an agent be left to the discretion of the board of trust.
CENTENARY COLLEGE.
This, the youngest of our female colleges, has had a re- markably prosperous career. Its first session opened under flattering conditions, and each succeeding session has been noted for a large increase in its patronage until now its boarding department is full and overflowing. The enlarge- ment of its boarding capacity is a necessity to enable it to meet the demands of its rapidly growing patronage. Dr. Sul- lins, the honored president, with his corps of fourteen experi- enced and competent teachers, with his magnificent buildings, well selected cabinet and complete arrangements in every re- spect is prepared to offer rare inducements to the public in every department ; Centenary is prepared to meet all the de- mands that may be made upon it ; let it be sustained ; it richly merits the confidence and support of our people. people's college and pryor institute.
We are gratified to learn that these schools located re- spectively at Pikeville and Jasper, Tenn., are in a healthful and growing condition. They are doing a noble work for society and the church in the sections in which they are lo- cated and they merit, and should receive a cordial support.
DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOLS.
The board are pleased to learn that district high schools have been established, and are in successful operation, in sev- eral of the districts of the conference. Let our people en- courage them.

PART SECOND.
TRAINING SCHOOL.
Whereas it is the judgment of the board of education that a training school or academy adjunct to Emory and Henry College, is an urgent and indispensible necessity in the interest of higher education, now enterprised by us as a con- ference ; and whereas several valuable sites have been offered us for the location of such a school ; therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That we recommend that the conference do now proceed to inaugurate plans for the early establish- ment of such a training school at some suitable place within our bounds.
Resolved, 2nd. That a judicious committee of five per- sons be appointed by the chairman of this conference, whose duty it shall be, first, to determine the location of said train- ing school, second, to determine the plans of operations and third, to provide for the agencies to raise the mone}r with which to build and equip the school.

PART THIRD.
Whereas, Col. J. C. Woodward, in behalf of the com- pany he represents has tendered to this conference through the board of education a plat of land — ten acres situated in the heart of Fountain City, near Knoxville, Tenn., worth $15,000.00 as a site for a female institue of high grade, and whereas the board believes that our church, if possible, ought to secure so valuable a property, and one so suitable for the purposes contemplated, the conditions being that when $50,000.00, are made or provided for by solvent subscrip- tion, with the promise of future additions to the amount of $50,000.00, the property is then to be secured to the church by a deed in fee-simple ; therefore, be it
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 43
Resolved, That the presiding elder of the Knoxville dis- trict and the preachers appointed to the several charges in Knoxville be and are hereby constituted a committee to whom the proposition of Col. Woodward be referred for con- sideration, and that they report to this body at its next an- nual session in 1891. James S. Kennedy, Chairman.
L. K. Haynes, Sec'ty.
APPENDIX I,
Report of the Sunday School Board.
Through the kindness of the statistical secretary we are enabled to report the following figures :
Number of Sunday Schools 557
" '■ officers and teachers.... 3,781
scholars 33,464
Amount of current school expenses $5,879.74
" collected for missions 546.10
Children's Day collection 274.03
Total amount raisedin Sunday Schools for all
purposes $7, 841 . 58
The apparent loss as compared with figures of last 3rear is attributable to the excision of our Western North Carolina territory".
Without entering into a discussion of the importance of our Sunday School work as related to other great enterprises of the church, your committee beg leave to offer a few prac- tical suggestions.
By reference to the report of the treasurer of the board it will be seen that several hundred dollars have been allowed to accumulate in his hands. To say, in accounting for this fact, that we have no destitute fields where this fund should have been applied is preposterous. That it has not been util- ized is proof positive of a disregard for the spiritual welfare of the neglected masses within the bounds of the conference that should cause us to hang our head in shame. This we say after making all due allowance for conscientious scruples which would have acted as a restraint upon some who have drawn upon this fund if they had not supposed it more needed elsewhere. By ajudicious use of this money one hundred schools might have been organized in destitute localities during the 3^ear. We have not lacked opportunity in any sense. What we need is Godlv sincerity of interest touching the wants of humanity and the worth of the Sunday School as an instru-
44 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
mentality, designed of God, and approved among men for the salvation of the lost, and the edification of believers.
Again, it is a fact by no means creditable to lis that many of our strongest charges have steadfastly refused to con- tribute a cent to this fund. Others have perverted the whole meaning of Children's Day by taking collections on the oc- casion and applying them to their own uses. These things are a reproach to us. Let us wipe them out, by such dili- gence as shall sustain our emphatic assertions of a divine call to seek and save the lost within the bounds of our own conference as well as in the lands beyond the seas.
But little interest has been manifested with reference to the assembling of Sunday School conferences as recommended, if not positively required, by our book of discipline. In our annual conferences the Sunday School work has been igno- miniously relegated to the -rear. Until a larger intelligence marks our administration let us cease to complain at ineffi- ciency in our schools. The devotion of our Sunday School workers in the face of such glaring disregard of their service is one of the marvels of the age. While we are stressing the right of the school let us be careful that we do not tithe the mint, anise and cummin to the omission of weightier obliga- tions concerning justice, mercy and love. Let us never forget that the Sunday School work is, in any given case, a most faithful exponent of the best elements in the church which it represents. If you would reform the school you must begin with the church.
Many matters well worthy of your profound considera- tion are necessarily excluded from this report, in which brevity must be studied.
We offer the following resolutions for your adoption :
Resolved, 1st. That we will use all diligence during the ' coming year to establish Sunday Schools in destitute localities and to increase the efficiency of existing schools.
2nd. That we will aim to secure the observance of Chil- dren's Day in all our charges and at as many appointments as possible, and that we will hold Sunday School Conferences in ever}^ district.
3rd. That all moneys contributed on Children's Day and not sent to the treasurer of the Conference Sunday School Board are unlawfully held and diverted from their ligitimate object.
4th. That we request the Sunday School editor to have prepared for Children's Day a program of exercises better adapted to the occasion than those heretofore issued.
5th. That Missionary Societies should be organized in all our Sunday Schools where practicable, and that our Sunday School department at Nashville should encourage this work
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL. 45
by providing a line of literature specifically adapted to the wants of such societies.
6th. That we endorse the lesson literature of our church as best adapted to the wants of our people and urge its use in all our schools.
7th. That we will strive to put a circulating library, of books, ^ issued by our Publishing House, into everv school where it is needed.

APPENDIX K.
Report on Church Property.
Your committee on church property respectfully submit the following :
The reports from the various charges show that in the ter- ritory now embraced in the conference there are 510 churches valued at $617,329, also, that there are seventy-eight par- sonages valued at $114,215. It appears from the reports that during the year $53,294.63 have been expended on churches and parsonages.
We would respectfully insist upon it that during the in- coming year our pastors make special effort to build and re- pair churches and parsonages where needed. In this way we will be the better prepared to meet the increasing demands thrust upon us by the great material developments going on in East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia,
We further suggest that the church authorities as a rule should see to it that our churches are insured.
We insist upon it that our pastors discountenence the building of churches or parsonages that are not iligibly lo- cated. Respectfully submitted,
W. L. Jones, Chairman.

Wheras there are about twenty charges that have re- ported nothing for church extension, and whereas a large number have reported only a nominal sum, it is therefore the mature conviction of this board that church extension does not receive the attention at the hands of many of the pas- tors that its importance demands. In view of disseminating intelligence and creating enthusiasm on this subject we recom- mend for your adoption the following :
1st. That a semi-annual session be held during the en- suing year at such time and place as the president may select.
2nd. That the executive committee procure the services of some one to bring the subject prominently, before each district conference. R. A. Owen,
R. A. Kelley.
APPENDIX M.
District Conference Records.
Your committe on district conference records beg leave to submit the following report :
Jeffersonville district.— Minutes of the first session of the conference show no adjournment. Minutes of the fourth session show no approval of the minutes of the preceeding session. Minutes of the sixth session insert a resolution of thanks after adjournment, instead of before. As a whole these minutes are not recorded with care, and contain too manv abbreviations. The reports of committees are written in a different hand, and the work is neatly done.
i
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
Wythe ville district. — The recording secretary pays very little attention to marks of punctuation. He is also rather disrespectful to the proprieties of orthography. For exam- ple, in "net gain," he writes, with 'a flourish, "n-e-t-t," and the word "declared" is given an "i" to see its own super- fluity.
Jonesboro district. — The minutes show a profligate use of space and paper, the doings of one session alone being spread over seven pages, whereas two would have been am- ply sufficient. In one place it is deelared that the "chairman addrcs the conference." In another place it is stated that the "conference opened with same officer in the chair." In still another, "the minutes of the previous session was read and approved." The recording secretary seems independent of the family of punctuation points, and not unfrequently collides his sentences with a force that produces a confusing mixture of verboseness. In one place it is solemnly affirmed that an election "was gone into Bluff City and Limestone."
Morristown district. — Minutes neatly kept, though writ- ten too hurriedly. Occasionally a misspelled word.
Knoxville and Chattanooga districts. — No criticism.
Sequachee district. — Minutes recorded in different shades of ink, by different persons, and written rather hurriedly.
Abingdon district. — Through the tardiness of the record- ing secretaries, this record did not properly come before the committee, but was examined by one member thereof at the eleventh hour. The minutes show a grevious lack of punct- uation, and a carelessness of style, which .might easily have been avoided. The record of the third session shows no approval of the record of the preceeding session. The re- cord as a whole is written by different persons.
Marion district record was not before the committee. Respectfully Submitted,
A. J. Graj^son, Chairman.
APPENDIX O.
Report on Bible Cause.
We deem it needless to speak of the great importance of putting the Bible in all homes, and in the hands of all peo- ple. The Bible is acknowledged by all classes of people who know anything of its teachings to contain the best code of laws and the best system of morals that has ever been pre- sented to the world. It is the onlv book we have from God.
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL. 49
By its light we are guided into the only way that leads to eternal life. We realize the importance of having a copy of the Holy Scriptures in the hands of every lost son and daugh- ter of the human race. For the wide circulation that the written word has alread\r received we are indebted chiefly to the American Bible Society. This great institution is doing for the world a work of vast magnitude and of infinite value. The late statistics show that in the course of eight years in visiting more than 6,000,000 homes no less than 757,851 families were found to be without a copy of the Bible, in the United States. During the last fiscal year 81,500 families and individuals found destitute of the Scriptures were sup- plied. It sent out last year one and a half million copies. One million copies to conserve the good of the country and one half million copies into foreign fields. The American mis- sionaries abroad are mainly dependent upon the society for .the Scriptures. Perhaps the churches in this country do not properly realize the obligations they are under to the Ameri- can Bible Society. We as Methodists share in its benevolence. Four times in the course of twenty years it has made grants to our Publishing House in Nashville. Very recenth- an ap- plication was made by our missionary in Mexican Border Mission, Miss Holden, to the society for 100 copies of the Spanish Bible which was granted. This is merely an indica- tion of what it is doing for us: A Bible in the hands of every child that can read, with particular reference to Sunday- School use, is now its great aim. Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That we are in hearty sympathy with the American Bible Society, commend its noble work arid will co-operate with its agencies in the endeavor to put as far as practicable in the hands of all classes of people and especially the children a copy of the Holy Scriptures.
2nd. That we will urge upon the superintendents and teachers in our Sabbath Schools the importance of taking at once such steps as will put a copy of the Bible in the hands of every member of the schools with which they are respect- ivelv connected. Respectfully submitted ,
P. P. Kinzer, Chairman.

Report on Temperance.
We regard strong drink as the greatest foe of our Chris- tianity and our civilization. We shudder when we look upon its continued ravages on our race. We are, as we ever have been,
50 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
the bitter foe of intemperance in all its forms. We hold our- selves ready to co-operate with the patriot, philanthropist and the Christian in every lawful way to overthrow the de- mon of drink unto his utter extermination. We regard the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as the chief conserver of moral forces and promoter of moral reforms. In this faith we will labor to preserve it from all compromising and entangling re- lations, and make it our one work to faithfully preach it to the people. Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Committee on Memoirs. Resolved, That the conference extend to our bereaved
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 5]
Brother, D. S. Hearon, our heart-felt sympathy in the death of his most excellent wife. H. C. Neal,
For the Committee.
Rev. Samuel Dalton Gaines.
Brother Gaines was born in Sullivan count3T, Tenn.,Oct 19, 1811, and died Nov., 20, 1889. He was the son of Am- brose and Mary Gains. His father was a pioneer settler in Sullivan county, where he lived till the day of his death. His mother, whose maiden name was Moore, was a sister of Governor Moore, of Alabama. Brother Gaines was con- verted and joined the Methodist church, at a camp meeting in his native county, in 1829. He was married Sept. , 1, 1831, to Miss Sarah E. Gaines, who was a niece of Gen. Edmond P. Gaines, of New Orleans. This wife of his youth was a cul- tivated, christian woman, and they walked the pathway of life pleas antly and peacefully together for nearly forty-seven years, when she fell asleep in Jesus and went before him to the Heaven of theij? hopes.
Brother Gaines was an active useful member of the church , serving as a class-leader and steward till he was licensed to preach in 1843. He served the church faithfully for several years as a local preacher, and also continued to serve as steward and class leader. He was ordained deacon and then elder as a local preacher, having served the requisite time in each case. He was received on trial into the Holston Con- ference, and appointed to the Estill ville circuit (date not known). During the year he met with a serious misfortune in the burning of his house, and was compelled to ask a dis- continuance at its close.
In 1857, at the session of the Holston Conference, held at Marion, Va., by Bishop Early, he was again received on trial, being recommended by the quarterly conference of Kingsport circuit. At this conference he was appointed to the Taylors- ville circuit. In 1858 to Kingsport circtiit, and in 1859 he was admitted into full connection and re-appointed to Kings- port circuit. In 1860 to Rogersville circuit and colored mis- sion, in 1861 and '62 to Blountville circuit, and .in 1863 to Bristol circuit. In 1864 he was placed on the supernumer- ary list and assigned to Blountville circuit. In 1865 he lo- cated.
In 1866 he was re-admitted and appointed to the New- bern circuit, where he remained two yeers. In 1868 and '69 to the Marion circuit, and in 1870 to the Wytheville circuit. In 1871 he was transferred to the Arkansas Conference and appointed to the Fayettsville circuit. In 1872 he was trans- ferred to the Kentucky Conference and appointed to the
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL.
Verona circuit in that conference. In 1874 he was re-trans- ferred to Holston Conference. From this conference he was appointed to Saltville circuit. In 1875 to Elk Creek circuit, in 1876 to Athens circuit, and in 1877 he was placed on the superannuated list, where he remained till the Lord called him home.
Brother Gaines' early life was spent on the farm in the beautiful Holston Valley. He was a rollicking, happy boy, and a cheerful, pleasant young man. He married young, but was fortunate in getting a woman of strong character and lovely disposition, and every way fitted to be the compan- ion of one who was to have so prominet a place in the work and achievements of the church. He was raised in what was then a home of affluence, and had the best advantages of early training which the section afforded, but these were very meager.
His religious character was of the early Methodist type. He was converted at a campmeeting amid the profoundest excitement. His conviction was pungent. The burden of his sins pressed heavily upon him, and his soul was en- shrouded in darkness. His conversion was clear as a sun- beam. The burden was removed and the gloom was disi- pated, and he rejoiced in conscious pardon and peace. This was the event of his life and, more than anything else, gave coloring to his character, and direction to his life.
He had a vigorous mind in which the analytical and im- aginative were happily blended. With thorough early train- ing he would have been a giant. As it was his sermons were not perfect according to the standard of the schools. They wer^ full of thought, information and religion. They were orthodox and evangelical. They grew out of his ex- perience as he tested it by the Word of God. There was al- ways the eloquence of profound conviction. There was a glow of religious fervor lightning up all his discourses which moved the heart of his hearers. He had the happy gift of exhortation, and, now and then, his soul all on fire of love and hope, his eloquence was well nigh irresistible. He was a hue type of the old fashioned Methodist preacher, which, un- fortuaatelv, is becoming more and more rare in this age.
He was eminently successful on a circuit. Thousands were converted to God under his ministry. On the Elk Creek circuit, which he traveled at the age of sixty-five, there was a continues revival. Six hundred were converted and five hundred added to the church. The last religious service he attended was a class-meeting at Main Street Methodist Church, Bristol, Tenn. He conducted the meeting. The Spirit of the Lord came upon them . His soul caught fire, and he went through the congregation shouting the praise of
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 58
God, and exulting in the hope of Heaven, which he was so soon to realize.
After he was superannuated, Brother Gaines was not idle. He went among the churches and preached as he wes able. He spent part of his time canvassing for the American Bible Societj^. During the last years, he made his headquarters at the home of his nephew, Dr. M. M. Butler, of Bristol, Tenn. In this Christian home he received all the kindness and at- tention that the tenderest sj^mpathy and affection could sug- gest. Amid the reverses and disappointments of his latter years, his faith in God never failed him. He died at the home of Prof. L. H. Copenhaver, near Bristol, whither he had gone to sta\r awhile, as was his custom. The family showed him every possible attention and kindness. His pastor visited him in his last hours and found him happy in the love of God. "Tell my brethren of the conference," said he, "that my faith in God is firmly fixed, rooted and grounded in love." He was buried in Bristol cemetery by the Masons, of which brotherhood he was a member. Funeral services were held in the Main Street Methodist Church, conducted by the pas- tor, assisted by Prof. Hearon, of Maitha Washington Col- lege. A very large concourse of people attended his funeral, showing how highry he is esteemed by those who have known him longest and best. Respectfully,
Rev. Frank Richardson.
Rev. Samuel R. Wheeler.
Samuel R.. Wheeler was born in Grayson— now Carroll- county, Va., Nov. 17, 1816. At the age of sixteen he was converted. His conversion was clear and powerful. At a comparatively early age he was licensed to preach and for, probably, twenty years was an amicable local preacher. He, during this time Vmissionary employed as a supply and was very efficient at Mechanicsburg and Marion. He joined the Holston Conference at Greeneville Tenn., in 1861, being then forty-five 3-ears old. We have not the date to enable us to give" the charges he served in consecutive order. But he vyas an efficient pastor on the Seddon, Grayson, Blountville, Lenoirs, Staffordsville and other circuits. He was appointed to the presiding eldership at the conference held in Marion, Va., in 1873, and travelled the Sequachee district for four vears. In 1877 he was appointed to the Athens district where he remained two years. After this he continued m charge of circuits until 1885 when he reluctantly yielded to the conviction that he was a superannuated man and asked for this relation.
Brother Wheeler was an excellent theologian, the Bible,
54 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
Wesley's sermons and Watson's itstitute's were his text books . With these he was more than ordinarily familiar. He was a strong preacher, mighty in the Scriptures. He won souls to Christ, by enforcing the truth and appealing to the heart through the intellect. He was loyal to Christ and his church, and when the end came he was ready. On Wednesday before his death he requested his wife to read the 14th chapter of St. John's Gospel. He enjoyed it. Personally he was indif- ferent as to whether he lived or died, but for the sake of those who loved him and whom he loved he desired, if it was the of God that he might remain with them. We believe that our brother has entered the heavenly rest.
Brother Wheeler was twice married, the first wife whose maiden name was Jones, died in peace several years ago.
When a few years elapsed he married Miss Ransberger, of West Ya., who cow mourns his loss. He leaves only two Iren, Rev. Y. W. Wheeler of the*Baltimore Conference and Mrs. Suss el! of Sweetwater, Tenn.
We tender to all his' loved ones our sympathies and prayers.
Rev. D. C. Home.
Rev. Dayton C. Home was bora in Wise county, Ya., 18th, 1857, and departed this life at Rockwood, Tenn., June, 3rd, 1890.
At about the age of twenty-two-, he was converted to God and joined the M. E. Church, South.
Some time during the year 1884 he was licensed to preach and in Oct. 1885 lie was admitted on trial into the Holston Annual Conference at Cleveland, Tenn.
His two years of trial in the conference were spent on the sy Cove circuit. Here his ministry was honored and many are they who will rise up to call him blessed.
• At the beginning of his third year, he was sent to the Kingston circuit, but soon after conference was removed to Hill City. Having faithfully served this charge during the year, he was then sent to Cooper's, West, Ya., where he continued to work the remaining year and a. half of his life.
Brother Home, was a young man of studious habits. He stood his examinations regularly and at the end of two years was admitted into full connection and ordained deacon by Bishop H. N. McTyeire, at Abingdon, Ya.
At the end of another two years he was. ordained elder at Morristown, Tenn., by Bishop A. W. Wilson.
Our deceased brother was most assuredly a man of rare excellence and in him was a most beautiful spirit.
At the beginning of the year 1890, we read in his diary
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL.
something like this: "To-day I start out afresh to do the will of God. To-day I lay myself afresh upon his alter." On through this little volume the same spirit is mani- fested .
His one business in this life was to preach the Gospel of the Son of God. To this he devoted himself in prayerful study.
It will he a source of inspiration to any young man to look into his book of sermons, so carefully prepared, so neat and so beautifully written.
The universal verdict of those who knew Brother Home is that he was a young man of unwavering faith and sterling piety. During his entire sickness his mind was clear and his experience rich and full. His heart was in the work of the church and of this he spoke, and for the prosperity of Zion he prayed. We have great reason to bless God for the life of such a man as D. C. Hor.
In his life God was with him and we believe that now he walks the streets of New Jerusalem.
Rev, George W. Renfro.
Brother Renfro was born in Cumberland county, Tenn., Aug. 15th, 1823. Here 'our friend grew up, in constant com- munion with nature in the changing moods and phases which she assumes in such a section, and with a very limited o] tunity for education.
In 1841. he joined the M. E. Church on probation, and Sept. 13th, 1843, "embraced religion." You will notice that he fixes the date of his conversion accurately, and speaks with perfect confidence of the fact. Such was the cv. among Methodists of that age. Conversion was a sen change and resulted in a robust pietjr, which was sufficient for the hardships and battle demanded of those who espoused the cause of Christ. Methodists theii were a "peculiar peo- ple," and made ho compromise with the world.
October 2nd, 1847, he was licensed to preach and recom- mended for admission into the traveling connection. The same vear he was admitted at the session of the Ho] Conference held at Jonesboro, Tenn., he was appointed ju preacher on Claiborne circuit. In 1848 Brother Renfro was again appointed junior, this time on Madisonville circuit, in 1849 he was admitted into full connection and ordained < ba- con, and placed in charge of Benton circuit. In 1 850 he was sent to Newbern circuit in Virginia. During this year he married, and, in 1851, was sent to Ashevilie Circuit Carolina. During this year he was prostrated, first with measles and then with inflammatory rheumatism. From

this affliction lie never fully recovered . In 1853 he was placed on the superannuated list. In 1856, having partially recovered his health, he was appointed to the Decatur circuit. In the latter part of the year he was taken with typhoid fever, which confined him to his bed for two months. His presiding elder, having heard that he was dead so reported him when the an- nual conference met. The brethren were agreeably surprised, however, before conference adjourned by receiving a report of his years' work, and the intelligence that he was still living. This year, 1857, he was appointed supernumerary on the Decatur circuit. In 1858, he was made effective and appointed to Washington circuit. Before the year closed his health failed again, and J. T. Curtis was placed in charge of his cir- cuit. His health proved to be so precarious he despaired of ever being able to do effective work, and, when the conference met again, asked for and obtained a location.
In 1862, the subject of our sketch was commissioned Chaplain of the Sixty-second Regiment of Tennessee Volun- teers in the Confederate Army. In this capacity he served for two and one-half years, following the fortunes and sharing the hardships of his regiment.
In 1872, he was re-admitted into the Holston Conference at Chattanooga, and appointed to Kingston circuit. In 1873, to Crossville and Bonair. In 1874, supernumerary. In 1875, to Washington circuit, and then supernumerary again. In 1879, he was appointed presiding elder of Pikeville district, which he traveled three years.
For little less than a half century Brother Renfro was connected with the conference in one relation or another. In all his relations he was the same sober, sedate, prudent man.
He had a strong well rounded intellect, of the doctrinal cast. He was master of Methodist dogmatic theology. He was well posted in Wesley and Watson. He handled himself well in the pulpit ; and his address was pleasing to the eye and ear. He appealed more to the understanding than to the emotional nature. He was an honest man by nature, and his character in this respect, had developed by piety and by habit. He was cautious about contracting debts and conscientious about discharging them.
He had an unwavering faith in God. His character was far removed from ambition and ostentation. Born and reared amid the spurs of Cumberland mountain, he never consented to get far away from them, and in his declining years he situated himself among the foot-hills of this grand plateau, to gaze upon its weird beauties, and to lave his brow in the pure breezes that sweep down from its heights.
Here he gave his last days to meditation, prayer and

joyful anticipation of a higher and holier life upon the delec- table hills of God.
Some days before his departure he said to his pastor, j,, have had leisure to stud}r my case carefully, and am satisfied that there is nothing in my way . ' ' He gave minute directions to his family as to his funeral, then gaA^e them his last exhor- tation to live in the faith which so well supported him, gave them his last blessing, and on the 14th of October he peace- fully fell asleep in the arms of the Redeemer.
On the 15th of October, 1889, his body was laid to rest amid the tears of a large concourse of his friends and neigh- bors.
