Miscellaneous Business. — The following report of special committee was discussed by J. A. Lyons and D. Sullins, and then adopted:

Concerning- the paper presented to this Conference by Revs. J. A. Lyons and R. N. Price, and referred by the Conference to this Board, we would respectfully submit the following:

1. The Board has had under consideration much of the valu- able matter referred to in this paper, and has provided for its fur- ther consideration by a conference of our educators to be held dur- ing the year.

2. The appointment of a commission to take into consideration these matters we deem superfluous, as they are, in our judgment, matters that properly belong to the work of the Board.

3. Appreciating the interest which the writer of this paper evidently feels on the subject of education, and realizing that he can be of mucli service to tlie cause, we nominate J. A. Lyons for membership on the Board to fill the place vacated by the resigna- tion of J. C. Woodward, and express it as our earnest desire that he be present as a representative of this Board to take part in the dis- cussion when the educators shall meet as provided for in our report already adopted.

4. The Board requests that he act as its agent in procuring such information from the faculties, trustees, and other authorities, con- cerning our schools as he has mentioned as being important to put before tliis Conference, and as would undoubtedly be helpful in

40 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.

solving problems to be considered by the Conference of Educators provided for. D. Sullins, President.

Resolutions. — The following resolutions were adopted.

It is the sense of the Board that if it is possible the Bishop hold- ing our next Annual Conference be requested to appoint a mission- ary secretary whose sole business it shall be to travel throughout the Conference, holding missionary mass-meetings, and to labor with the brethren on these mission charges.

E. W. Moore, President. J. I. Cash, Secretary.

Besolved^ That our thanks are due, and are hereby tendered to the people of Bristol for their royal and unstinted hospitality, to the railroads for their kindhess in granting reduced rates, and to the pastors of the various churches for the use of their houses of worship.

CONFERENCE REPORTS.

TITLES OF COLLEGES.

Your Committee on College Titles, aijpointed at Abing-don, Vir- ginia, in 1895, beg leave to submit the following report on SuUins College, located at Bristol, Virginia:

We find that on the 27th of October, 1869, the college grounds were deeded by W. W. James and others to himself and others as trustees, with covenants of general warranty, for the following pur- poses: To be used perpetually for the education of girls, giving these trustees and their successors absolute control and manage- ment of all this school property and all its interests. This Board of Trustees is self-perpetuating. The donors inserted a reversionary clause in this deed to themselves which is conditioned upon its fail- ure to be used for school purposes for five consecutive years. On October 23d, 1876, the donors by deed conveyed to the congregation or church in Bristol, Virginia, to which they belonged, all their re- versionary interests in and to said school property, and placed the same in the Holston Conference in trust for said church as shown by said deed, and asked said Conference to execute the same as their wisdom might dictate, and on same day and date as above the Board of Trustees, desiring, as they say, to ally the college more closely to the Conference, asked the Conference to annually appoint five of its body as a consulting committee to perpetually nominate the presi- dent of said college, and to consult with them as to the best inter- ests of the school, they, the Board of Trustees, reserve the right to ratify or reject said nomination. The minutes of the Board of Trus- tees show that the tender of the trust imposed upon the Holston Conference by the conveyance of the reversionary interest was duly accepted by the Conference, as was also the suggestion or request by the board that the Conference appoint five of its body as a con- sulting committee with said board. It appears that the Conference has, from year to year, ever since 1876, so appointed a committee and has taken oversight, or rather a fostering care of the school, and in that way has held out to the world that it w^as a church school to all intents and purposes, a relation that your committee believes it still sustains, and can only be dissolved by the body that took upon itself this obligation, and indicated to the outside world this relation. It has not been called upon to execute the trust reposed in it by the donors for the benefit of the local church in Bristol, Virginia, nor can it be until the conditions arise demanding it, viz: the vacation of the school property for school purposes five consecutive years. With this report your committee begs to file a synopsis of the deeds above referred to, and also the minutes of the Board of Trustees re- lating thereto. Inasmuch as your committee reported at Cleveland, Tennessee, on the other colleges in the Conference, it begs to be finally discharged from the work imposed on it.

B.

SPIRITUAL STATE OF THE CHURCH.

Your Committee on the Spiritual State of the Church beg- leave to submit the following: report:

We rejoice to note that there have been revivals in many churches during the Conference year, and from other indications there is reason to believe that there is a more vigorous spiritual life manifesting itself among our people than heretofore. We believe that it should continually be insisted upon that it is the privilege of believers to enjoy the witness of the Spirit, and that no Christian should rest satisfied without it.

We regret that in many homes among us there is an absence of family worship, and respectfully suggest that the utmost diligence be used to secure the erection of family altars in the homes of our people. Inasmuch as spirituality can not be maintained without active work in the Lord's vineyard, we beg leave to suggest that every legitimate device be employed to commit some Christian work to each member of each charge within the bounds of the Holston Conference. W. D. Mitchell, Chairman.

Jas. a. Duncan, Secretary.

c.

DISTRICT CONFERENCE RECORDS.

Your Committee on District; Conference Records, having ex- amined the records submitted to their inspection, beg leave to make the following report: The record of the Radford District has been well kept — only a blot or two on its pages. The Record of Tazewell District is w^ell kept, with no blurs or blots to mar its well-kept pages; it is a model of neatness. The same, we are gratified to state, is true in regard to the Knoxville District; we consider it the best kept book, having gone on to perfection. Cleveland District: orthography good, punctuation fair; not enough care has been ob- served in tne use of capital letters. Chattanooga District: there- cords would be a model but for being a little blurred. The records of the Sequachee District are very well kept. Morristown District: part of the record is dated May, the remainder March; report of the Committee on Quarterly Conference Records should have been recorded before the minutes w^ere signed by the president. Abing- don District: with the exception of a few interlineations the record is well kept. Wytheville District, good; the report of the Commit- tee on Quarterly Conference records should have been recorded be- fore adjournment. The Record of Big Stone Gap was not before us for inspection. The records are so beautifully kept that it is with difficulty we venture any criticism, as we found them, in the main, so well kept. J. Wesley Smith, Chairman.

TEMPERANCE.

Your Committee on Temperance submit the following report: We rejoice in the fact that the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, has taken such high ground on the subject of Temperance. And

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL, 51

further, the public conscience is so aroused on this great subject that no man who belong-s to the Christian Church can drink spiritu- ous liquors without securing for himself the contempt of society. But, notwithstanding the fact that much has been done by way of awakening and educating the public mind and conscience on this subject, it is still fearfully true that much remains to be done be- fore men are saved from the ravages of this curse. We think the watchword ought to be sent all along the line, "Teach, preach, edu- cate." We are coming to see, and will see yet more clearly, that drunkenness is of itself a crime. The man who drinks spirituous liquors commits a crime against his God, his country and his home. We think we hear the mutterings of vengeance which portend the punishment of drunkenness as a crime against the State, whether such drunkenness seem in disorderly conduct or not. It is a cause of unspeakable shame to every righteous citizen, that our govern- ment licenses the sale of intoxicants, commits a high crime against God and humanity. We believe it to be the unquestionable duty of every citizen, as well as every Christian, to use his utmost influence to suppress and ultimately abolish the sale of intoxicating bever- ages. And this, both by enactment and execution of good laws. Therefore he it resolved. That it is our conviction that the only safe attitude on this subject is total abstinence, both as to the traffic and the cup. A. D. Stewart, Chairman.

BOOKS AND PERIODICALS.

Your Committee on Books and Periodicals submit the following :

The publishing house, at Nashville, has made, in spite of a bad year, the good record of a net gain of six per cent, on the whole capUal of the House.

The Nashville Christian Advocate is, by common consent, the peer of the best. The paper has dual claims on us because of its great excellency as a purveyor of church news and general literary infor- mation, and because its editor is of Holston.

Our Sunday School LiteratU'C is ably edited by Dr. James Atkins. The periodicals are of fine mechanical finish, and the matter is first class. We cordially recommend it, and urge that for our people we get nothing else.

The Met.hodist Review is a superb bi-monthly journal, devoted to religion and philosophy, science and literature. Every preacher ought to have it, and so ought every intelligent layman.

The Epworth Era ought to have every member of the Epworth League as a subscriber, and every preacher as a friend. We are sorry that the paper has not paid its way, and that the editor reports a falling off of 1,300 subscribers during the year. We must rally to its help.

The Beview of Missions meets all the demands for which its pub- lication was intended. The World for Christy for the young, is just the thing in its time for all our children.

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 53

Our Homes^ the organ of the Woman's Parponag-e and Home Mission Society, is at work along a line to which no preacher can afford to be indifferent.

The Holst.on Methodist, edited by Dr. B. N. Price, is edited as well as it could be by a man who has the dual work of pastor and editor. It has largely increased its circulation. This gratifying- result has been reached at great expense, however, and the paper needs, and must have, a larger circulation if it is to accomplish or even be what it ought as a Conference organ. We recommend the appointment of Dr. Price as its editor.

The Holston Animal has very steadily improved until, with its mechanical finish almost faultless, its arrangement methodical, its statistics complete, its roll of the sainted dead, its roll of members in chronological order, its full report of Conference proceedings, it is among the best year books published in the Southern Methodist Church. Bro. Burrow deserves our hearty thanks and our active agency in disposing of the book. W. W. Hicks, Chairman.

M. H. HoxAKER, Secretary.

CHURCH EXTENSION.

We gladly report the interest manifest among our people of providing for themselves with good houses of worship. The Board was asked at this session of the Conference to aid needy churches, to at least double the amount collected from the charges.

We note with pleasure the growing interest of the "Woman's Parsonage and Home Mission Society," and we urge all the preach- ers to "help those women." We request that a memorandum of their work be published- in the Holston Annual. The Board made the following donations to needy churches:

York Church, Jonesville Circuit, Big Stone Gap District, Lee County, Va., $60; Miller Chapel, Jonesville Circuit, Big Stone Gap District, Lee County, Va., $50; BidgedaleChurch. Rich Valley Circuit, Abingdon District, Smythe County, Va., $35; Sword's Creek.

Total appropriated, $845.

The Parent Board assessed Holston Conference for Church Extension this year, $4,000.00, which has been apportioned among the districts of the Conference as follows: Radford District, $464.00; Tazewell District, $442.00; Wvtheville District. $480.00; Abingdon District, $460.00; Big Stone Gap District, $270.00; Morristown Dis- trict, $43700; Knoxville District, $500.00; Cleveland District, $235.00; Chattanooga District, $500.00; Sequachee District, $212.00.

Your Treasurer is pleased to note a slight increase of $50.58 in collections over last year. Also that more charges took this collec- tion than heretofore. The following charges raised this collection in full: Bland Street, Bluefield ; Lead Mines Circuit; Church Street, Centenary and Highland Avenue, Knoxville; Fountain City; Cleveland Station; Sweetwater; Main Street and Mary Street, Bristol, and Cherry Street, Chattanooga. Wytheville Sta- tion enjoys alone the distinction of having paid in excess of the assessment.

Twenty-two charges did not pay anything for this cause, while many really strong charges paid a mere pittance. Brethren, let us go out to work for a larger liberality among our people.

1. That the Board will furnish to each school in the Conference as many Children's Day programs as maybe desired, free of charge. The only condition attached is, that the schools shall take the col- lections as required by the law of the church, and send them out to the Treasurer of the Sunday-School Board.

2. That we request that each school shall furnish a copy of the Teacher's JMagasine to every teacher and officer of the school.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

Owing to the fact that so many of our members were detailed to serve in other capacities, the Board is unable to make such a report as perhaps ought to have been made. Suffice it to say that from the partial reports submitted to us, we are glad to learn that all our schools, male and female, have opened well, and some of them unusually so. We have under our control Emory and Henry, Martha Washington, Sullins, Centenary, People's Colleges, Pryor Institute and Princeton Academy. The enrollment of students for most of them for '97-'8 has been greater than for the last scholastic year. Unfortunately, most of our schools are in debt. Emory and Henry and Martha Washington earned incomes which

56 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.

enabled them to meet fully their current expenses. The ladies — wives of the Emory and Henry CoUeg-e faculty — have organized themselves into an association for making some needed improve- ments at the College. They have raised and expended some hun- dreds of dollars already, and give promise of doing a most useful work. Considerable improvements also have been made at Martha Washington and Centenary. We are glad to be able to report that all our schools are well officered, having faculties worthy of the fullest confidence of our people. There are no new or important facts coming to the knowledge of the Board, not embraced iu the full reports of last year, and published in our excellent Annual. They need not be repeated. Sullin's College, as such, is out of debt, and Princeton Academy, Pryor Institute and People's College are all out of debt, for which we are thankful.

children's day.

'J'he Board would emphasize the importance of magnifying Children's Day on the part of all our preachers and people. It should be made both interesting and profitable. In this connection we do most heartily commend to the attention and confidence of our preachers and people and educators, the work of the General Board of Education, and the valuable instructive literature pub- lished under its auspices for gratuitous distribution. Order and distribute it among the homes of our people.

EDUCATIONAL DAY.

The Board recommends that the third Sunday of April be observed as our Educational Day, on which our preachers shall preach on the subject of Christian Education, and take the collec- tion assessed for education, if practicable. We also recommend that Dr. R. G. Waterhouse be appointed to the presidency of Emory and Henry College; Wm. M. Dyer to Martha Washington College; D. Sullins to Centenary College; D. S. Hearon to Sullins College; J. R. Hunter to Pryor Institute; L. L. H. Carlock to Athens Female College, and Eugene Blake to Princeton Academy.

The Board further recommends that the boards of those of our schools which are in debt be authorized to adopt such methods and employ such agencies to liquidate their indebtedness, and improve their equipments, as may be deemed wisest and best, provided such agencies do not imperil the rights of our church or involve her honor and integrity in any way; and that our preachers and peo- ple co-operate with these brethren in their laudable efforts to com- pass these ends. The assessment for our work the ensuing year is $3,000; for the use of the Parent Board, $375, and for Paine and Lane Institute, $500. Should the collections for Education exceed the amount of remitted tuitions in our schools, the excess shall go to Emory and Henry College to pay interest on her debts.

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 57

The Board of Trustees of Martha Washington College have elected Rev. S. T. M. McPherson Financial Agent, and ask, through this Board, the recommendation of his appointment to said agency. We so recommend.

The Board also recommends that the following named brethren be appointed to co-operate and advise with the President of Emory and Henry College, Dr. R. G. Waterhouse, in organizing and work- ing the plan chosen for liquidating the debts of the College, to-wit: for Radford District, 8. D. Long and E. F. Kahle ; Tazewell District, J. T. Frazier and I. P. Martin ; Wytheville District, P. P. Kinzer and T. C. Shuler ; Abingdon District, F. Richardson and D. S. Hawk ; Big Stone Gap District, W. C. Garden and J. L. Weber; Morris- town District, K. C. Atkins and J. 8. Kennedy; Knoxville District, J. A. Duncan and W. S. Neighbors ;* Cleveland District, J. A. Lyons and R. A. Owen; Chattanooga District, John Boring and J. S. Maness; Sequachee District, L. M. Cartright and R. N. Price. If any of the above named brethren receive appointments outside of the districts mentioned in connection with their names, their places shall be filled by appointment of the presiding elder.

The Board would further recommend that the educators of our schools arrange for a Conference at such time and place as may be agreed upon by them, in which they shall take into consideration the condition, systemization and general improvement of the edu- cational work under the care of the Conference. We suggest the appointment of Dr. Waterhouse as Conference Secretary of Educa- tion.

meetings, and in the furtherance of the work generally in the Dis- tricts.

2. That the pastors be urged to carry out the disciplinary re- quirement for holding a missionary mass meeting at each appoint- ment in their charges.

3. That again the pastors be urged to begin early and be dili- gent in raising their collections.

4. That we endorse the Missionary Bevieio and The World for Christy for their high missionary character and enterprise, and beg all our preachers to subscribe themselves, and earnestly solicit their people to do the same; that they also avail themselves of the general board's most liberal offer of missionary tracts and other literature, which they furnish for distribution without money and without price. E. W. Moore, President.

BIBLE CAUSE.

Your Committee on Bible Cause beg leave to submit the follow- ing report : We have been unable to secure sufficient data to enable us to make anything like a complete report. Ninety charges have failed to report anything for this noble cause. Seventy charges re- port $276.22 collected ; this is an increase over last year of $61.48. Of this amount $139.94 is ready to be turned over to the Society; $35.35 has been paid to Dr. Savage and auxilaries, the receipts of wliich have been reported, while $100.93 has been paid to auxiliaries, but the receipts have not been reported. The brethren must bring their receipts to Conference if they desire credit for amounts paid before Conference. The Discipline says (page 65, paragraph 134) in regard to the duties of the preacher in charge, that he is ''to present once a year to each congregation in his charge the claims of the American Bible Society, and to report the amount of contributions raised by him for this purpose." This is obligatory and not optional^ as some seem to think. The new blanks for the Financial, Reports to be made every year have special provision for this amount along witli other collections.

This interest of the church ought to be considered of vital im- portance. We, as a church, believe in an open Bible; and Protest- antism owes her success, in a large measure, to this very fact. The work of the missionary, either home or foreign, is not separate from and independent of that of the American Bible Society, but they go hand in hand. It has been wisely said that converts may be made by oral instruction, but without the Bible we can have no liv- ing church or permanent institutions. A missionfiry who is on the field says, ''If there were no Bible Society, and as a consequence, no Bible, we might as well pack up shop and go home." If this is true, (and who will doubt it?) will we thus retard the progress of the evangelization of the world by withholding the Word oi God? The work of the publication and circulation of the Scriptures has been committed by the different churches, largely, to the American Bible Society. It is supplying a want in the home and foreign fields that the churches are not prepared to do. Judging from its large con- stituency, we would suppose that its every call would be responded to; but such is not the case. We learn from the annual report of the Society that in order for it to meet its present obligations and respond to the vast number of applications it will require at least

),000. If mattei's continue as they have, we are told that sad re- alities will be overtaken in the near future, and failure will be writ- ten as a part of the American Bible Society's history; for it will have to ;vield the ground that it now occupies. May the Lord put it into the heart of the church to supply its needs. Its work com- mands the approval and calls for the help of every member of the Holston Conference. The Society reports the following: 25,245 copies of the Scriptures distributed in Mexico in 1896, closing with March, 1897; 43,746 in South America in the same year, 30,764 of which were used in Brazil and passed through the hands of our Clarence Tucker; 400,000 copies were distributed in Japan, and 847,- 000 in China in 1895 and 1896, making a total of 1,316.251 copies. The interest of the heathen world in the study of the Word is seen in the fact that they paid their own money for 98 per cent, of this vast amount. The Macedonian call for the eternal truth is coming from every quarter. The demand for the Word of God was never great- er than it is to-day. May there be no relaxing of effort on the part of the church. " E. S. Bettis, Chairman.

MEMOIRS

JAMES R. CHAMBERS.

Rev. James H. Chambers, son of William and Elizabeth Cham- bers, was born near Surgoinsville, Hawkins county, Tenn., Aug. 6, 1850. In the jDrime of his manhood, being a little over 46 years old, from the parsonage in Blountville, Sullivan county, Tenn., in holy triumph he responded to the Master's call to come up higher, Nov. 7th, 1896. In the highest and best sense. Brother Chambers was a ''self-made man." About all the earthly possessions the family had were swept away by the ravages of war. He had to begin life at the bottom; but by his own effoi'ts, he acquired a thorough acade- mic education under Prof. D. C. Miller at Chilhowee, Va., and spent several years of his life teaching. As a teacher he was both popu- lar and successful. But that which, more than anything else, changed the whole current of his being, occurred in Grayson county, Va., in the year 1869, when he was thoroughly and joyously con- verted to God. His experience was clear, convincing, and to him, a very citadel of faith hs long as his earthly pilgrimage continued.

On Oct. 15th, 1872, he was united in marriage to Miss Sue V. Greaver, a descendant of one of the oldest and best families of Southwestern Virginia. This was a very happy union and was blessed with thirteen children (and I will add, I have rarely known brighter or better ones.) . Fpr seven years he sujDported his family by teaching, and faithfully and efficiently served the church as a local preacher. He made sermons and appointments, and filled them to the satisfaction and edification of his hearers. All these years his heart was in the itinerancy. He wished to give his whole life to the work of the ministry, but he was afraid of being rejected by the Conference on account of the size of his family. He then had a wife and eight children. About this time also, I saw that Rev. E. B. Robertson, of precious memory, was going to break down as pas- tor of Rheatown Circuit. Anticipating the need of a supply, I asked Brother Chambers, in case he was needed, if I could secure his ser- vices. He replied that he would come to the charge at the earliest possible moment. And in less than a week after he was notified, he was in the parsonage and at work. He was happy in his work and this but inflamed his one desire to be a member of the Conference and give the remainder of his life to the regular ministry. I dealt faithfully with him. I told him that the chances were against him, but if you can so fill this circuit that the people will want you back as their pastor, and if preachers are scarce at Conference, you may get in.

He went to work with a will. Every power was exerted to its fullest capacity. As Conference drew near, I was almost afraid to learn the will of the people. But they wanted Brother Chambers, and no one else. If he did not get into the Conference they wished him as a supply. So he was admitted with little or no opposition, and I have no regrets for the part I took in the matter. As a travel- ling preacher, he traveled the Rheatown Circuit one year, the Jonesboro Circuit three years, the Abingdon Circuit three years, and

62 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.

the Blountville Circuit two years. Nine years in all. But who can ti^ll the good he did in that time, and as he was the spiritual father of some of our most prominent young preachers, like Abel, though dead he yet speaks.

As a man he was honest, truthful, pure of heart and mouth; to his friends and principles, as true as steel and in every way trust- worthy. He was as modest as a woman and one had to know him well to appreciate him. As a student he was not broad, but careful, painstaking and accurate, mastering any and all things which he thought he could use in his sermons. As a pastor he was painstak- ing, faithful and prudent to a fault. If he erred, it was on the side of mercy. Like most men who have spent a considerable time in the local ministry, he was not a good collector; rarely, if ever, get- ting his own sala'ry or the collections ordered by the Conference. His throne of power was the pulpit. He was a careful, laborious sermon -maker, and a great many of them were written entire. But even in the pulpit his great modesty was a bar to his reputation. He could not do himself justice on great occasions. At the District and Annual Conferences, he generally fell below himself or entire- ly failed. But before his own people, with a definite object in his eye, he was a "son of thunder." He was clear, forceful and often eloquent.

His last sickness lasted about three months. He said that he had thoroughly tested the foundation of his faith and that he was standing on the Rock — that he was both ready and willing to die, if it was the Lord's will. We buried him in the cemetery at Blount- ville. Like a soldier — a good soldier of Christ which he was — he sleeps on the field where he fought his last battle and won his great- est victory — victory over death. A large congregation listened, with tearful faces, while Dr. J. H. Keith, Rev. Wm. Robeson, Rev. Mr. Carson, of the Presbyterian church, and the writer, talked of the many virtues and heroism of their departed friend and brother, and even through their tears, rejoiced in a living and blessed hope of a glorious reunion with him and all the loved and lost, where the friendsliip, so strong and tender in this world, shall be perfected in Heaven. Geo. D. French.

FLEMING D. CRUMLEY.

Fleming David Crumley, son of Daniel W. and Stacey Crumley, was born in Sullivan county, Tenn., near Rockhold's Camp Ground, in 1829. He was converted at Rockhold's Camp Ground when twelve or fourteen years old. We know not when or by whom he was licensed to preach. He was married to Miss Mariah Snodgrass, daughter of David Snodgrass, near Blountville, Tenn. Of this mar- riage there were six children. He was admitted on trial in Holston Conference, at Asheville, N. C, October 17-24, Bishop Paine presid- ing. His first appointment was to Buchanan Mission, Abingdon District. This was a hard and trying appointment on which to learn the initial lessons of th3 Methodist itinerant life, as this writer can testify, being in charge of the district. Full of Christian zeal and courage and faith, however, he gave himself earnestly to his diffi- cult work without hesitation or murmuring. He wrought diligently for the Master amid the gorges and caves and ridges of Buchanan's innumerable mountains. There were then but few members scat- tered here and there, without churches, and but few school-houses. He preached in the humble log houses of his people, and under the shade of the trees. It was a veritable wilderness in many respects,

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 6^

with a sparse and unlettered population, no roads save the high- way down the Levisa Fork of the Sandy River, but steep and nar- row trails and rugged and dangerous riding-passes over the moun- tains, little and great. The people, however, in their rustic simplicity awarded him, as they have done others, a proverbial hospitality. They would divide their last platter of bread, or dish of jerked venison, or bowl of lind-tree honey.

His subsequent appointments were as follows: In 1861 and '62, Fall Branch Circuit; in 1863 and '64, Kingsport Circuit; in 1865, name not in published minutes; in 1866, '67 and '68, Bristol Circuit; in 1869 and '70, Estillville Circuit; in 1871 and '72, Jefferson Circuit; in 1873, Jonesboro Circuit; in 1874, '75 and '76, Fall Branch and Horse Creek Mission; in 1877 and '78, Independence Circuit; in 1879 and '80, Madisonville Circuit; in 1881 and '82, St. Clair Circuit; in 1888 and '84, Newport Circuit; in 1885 and '86, Jonesboro Circuit; in 1887, Charleston Circuit; in 1888, Cedar Bluff Circuit; in 1889, Fall Branch Circuit; in 1890, Erwin Mission; in 1891, supernumerary or super- annuated ; in 1892, '93, '94, '95, '96, superannuated till his death. Dr. R. N. Price, who has the Conference Journal, writes that in 1865 Brother Crumley is reported as having withdrawn from the church (conference, I suppose) and in 1866 readmitted.

Brother Crumley was, we believe, a consecrated and faithful servant of our Lord Jesus Christ. Having cast in his lot among us, he cheerfully accepted the appointments given him, and shrank from no hardship incident to the itinerant's life. He doubtless found in his wife a valuable help-meet in managing and caring for a large family, and on a meager salary. He lived to see all his chil- dren grown and married and settled in life, among whom he spent his last years in peace and comfort. For four years or more past, his health has been poor, and his body very frail. Partial paralysis greatly increased his bodily infirmities, so that for the last eight months of his life he was, almost helpless. He bore his sufferings in great patience, never repining or fretting. He was full of grati- tude to the neighbors and friends who were so kind and attentive to him in his last sickness. He was a good man, a faithful preacher, sound in Methodistic theology, loyal to the church and her govern- ment, and devoted to his brethren in the ministry. His ministerial life, extending through thirty-seven years, was never beclouded by wrongdoing, or vulnerable *^to just censure, so far as this witness knows. He has left us the rich legacy of an untarnished name. He quietly fell on sleep, September 4, 1897, at Fall Branch, Washington county, Tenn. He was completely resigned, and passed to the up- per heavens in peaceful and glorious triumph. We have every rea- son to believe that our departed brother '-had finished his crown in glory, and he couldn't stay away from the coronation."

JEFFERSON D. AKERS.

Rev. J. D. Akers was born in Montgomery county, Va., August 30, 1868, and died at the home of his father, in the same county, April 20, 1897. Brother Akers was naturally of a kindly disposition, having from his childhood a gracious consideration for all about him. He conformed his whole life to a generous ideal of truth and justice, and when, in 1887, he gave his heart and life to God and the church, he rose to the highest ideal of Christian character and life. He had good facilities* for mental and moral culture in the schools of his own county, afterwards at Emory and Henry College, and in

teaching, as well as in the best associations always. There he appreciated and improved to the extent that rendered him accept- able and efficient among all people whom he was called upon to serve. He had a modest estimate of his own worth, but great faith in God and the church. He appreciated every kindly relation he sustained, but magnified the holy ministry of the word of God above all. When he was appointed to Castlewood Circuit last year, he felt he had entered upon his life work, and planned accordingly for God and the church. He went promptly to his Circuit, met his people cordially, ingratiated himself into their confidence and esteem, and excited in their breasts the hope that animated his own life, and thus entered upon a year that gave promise of gracious results. But God had ordered otherwise. His strength, none too great at best, yielded to the fell destroyer, consumption. He failed rapidly. His people tenderly nursed him, and in return received from him beautiful lessons of the strongest faith in God and the sweetest resignation to His will. At his second quarterly ixieeting, March 6, 1897, he gave up his work, bade us and his people a tender goodbye, and returned to the home of his childhood to die. In that sacred retreat, with loving parents bending over him, and the voice of affection in his ears and heart, he breathed his last. He leaves behind him the sweetest name of a pure heart and a consecrated life. • W. C. Garden.

MRS. SUSAN ADAMS.

Mrs. Susan Adams, widow of Rev. David Adams, of precious memory, was born August 13, 1812. 8he professed religion and join- ed the Methodist Church when but a girl. She was married to Kev. David Adams of the Holston Conference. April 7, 1835 by Rev. Thomas Rice, Her husband died in 1853, at his home near Straw- berry Plains, Tenn., where Sister Adams continued to reside up to the time of hev death. She was the mother of eight children, four of whom preceded her to the New Jerusalem. Mrs. Adams died De- cember 27, 1896, in the 85th year of her age. A long and useful life was hers ''Ye are the salt of the earth," ''Ye are the light of the world." The exemplification of these words of the Savior was the life of this good woman. It was a benediction to any one to be in her home and hear her talk of God's dealings with her through her long and eventful history. She had no theory about heaven and acceptance with God. These were vital realities with her, and she would speak of going to heaven and meeting with Jesus and her friends with the same confidence as going to church or as going to see her neighbors. Her faith was beautiful and inspiring. The poor not only had her sympathies and prayers, but to the utmost of her ability assisted them in a substantial way. The poor in her community looked upon her as a genuine Christian in whom was no guile. At that great day when all nations shall appear before the throne, it will be said to her by the blessed Lord, "Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the least of these my brethren ye did it unto me." She never lost her interest in the church and the comfort and wel- fare of her pastor.. Her religion was of that kind that thinketh no evil. I never heard her speak an unkind word of any one. She was not wedded in any sense to the world. Her treasure was laid up on high — her citizenship was in heaven. While she valued her church membership, yet she lived every day with reference to her membership in the church above. For some days before her de- cease she seemed to realize that her days were about numbered.

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL, 65

She arranged for some little presents for her grand-children as it would be the last Christmas she would spend with them on earth. The writer freely talked with her just before she became too feeble to communicate with earthly friends. She said her way was per- fectly clear and she wanted to go. No cloud whatever was between her and her blessed Savior. She was as calm and deliberate while thus talking as she ever was in her life. I never saw a more peace- ful death. Indeed, it did not appear like death at all, but the sink- ing of a calm, resigned, happy soul to rest. Thus she passed away. The hour was holy. An unusual presence permeated the very at- mosphere. The Lord and holy angels were there. Sleep on. Grand- mother Adams, till the Lord comes ! Sleep on till the frail tenement we buried in the family grave-yard be raised in power in glory! Your children and grand-children remember your love and prayers for them. Sleep on till the time of reunion in heaven ! May we all meet there. H. C. Neal.

MRS. LILLIE SAWYERS LONG.

Lillie Sawyers, daughter of Dr. J. H. and Mrs. Sue Sawyers was born in Knoxville, Tenn., September 9, 1858, and died in Rad- ford, Va., February 6, 1897. December 20, 1883, she was married to Rev. S. D. Long, then of the North Mississippi Conference, now pre- siding elder of the Radford District, Holston Conference. She joined the Presbyterian Church when a girl, but, after her marriage, cast her lot in with the Methodists. She was an earnest worker in the missionary society and other church enterprises. ''Gilderoy" says that her name is like ointment poured forth in Okolono and Macon, Mississippi. We know how much she was loved by the charges in Holston, where she lived and labored. On that sad funeral trip from Radford to Knoxville the entire congregation of Marion, Va., were at the train. Women wept aloud, and strongmen looked through misty eyes, as they grasped the bereaved husband by the hand, in a sympathy which words could not express.

Sister Long was reserved. Her life was quiet and undemon- strative, her nature pre-eminently unselfish. Devoted to home and dear ones, and to the work of the Church, she lived a patient, beau- tiful life, with character untarnished, and faith as strong as cables of steel. Is it any wonder that she talked beautifully of heaven, and smiled, with peaceful confidence, in the presence of death? that, calmly, she gave explicit directions concerning plans after she was gone, sending tender messages of love and Christian exhortation to the absent ones? that she gave a joyous testimony to the immortal truths of the shepherd's Psalm? that the death-bed scene was lighted up with almost a halo from another world?

The funeral service was held in Church Street Church, Knox- ville, a large concourse of people being present, together with a number of the preachers of this Conference. Thirteen years before, at the same chancel rail. Rev. S. D. Long had stood beside his bride. Thirteen years of happy associations, and the scene changes. Again sweet flowers, and sweetest music, but this time the hush of death was there.

In beautiful Gray Cemetery, by the side of her father. Dr. Saw- yers, her grandfather, Rev. Wm. G. Brownlow, and a precious child taken in the years gone by. we laid her gently to rest. Exquisite flowers from loving hands literally covered the grave. They have

long- since faded, but the beauty and fragrance of her life will linger into the coming years.

' ' Sleep OD , beloved, sleep, and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon thy Saviour's breast; We love thee well, but Jesus loves thee best, Good-night!

"Only good-night, beloved— not 'farewell'— A little while, and all His saints shall dwell In hallowed union indivisible— Good-night!"

J. A. Burrow.

MRS. HENRY C. NEAL.

Rachel Davis Litchfield Neal was born July 81, 1841, professed religion and joined the M. E. Church, South, in early life, was mar- ried to Rev. H. C. Neal, of the Holston Conference, October 17, 1871, and, September 13, 1897, passed peacefully away to her home in Heaven.

Sister Neal's early training was good, and she ripened into a beautiful character. She exemplified the graces of the Christian religion everywhere and under all circumstances. She had a nat- ural vivacity and cheerfulness which lent a charm to her whole character, but the current of her life ran deep. She was conscien- tious, prudent and eminently unselfish. As a daughter, wife, mother, friend, she was faithful. She performed the delicate and responsible duties of a preacher's wife in a most exemplary manner, and, wherever her faithful husband was sent, she found easy access to the hearts of the people, and helped him to hold aloft the banner of the Cross.

Probably the chief lesson of her life was one of patience, and even cheerfulness, under deepest affiiction. For eight years she was afflicted with rheumatism, and suffered intense pain. A great part of the time she was helpless. In all this she did not murmur or complain, but was bright and cheerful. It was a benediction to visit her. You were imbued with the strength of her unwavering faith and inspired by the glow of her cheerful hope.

When death came she was ready. She was fully conscious of his approach, and met him without fear, in the strength of divine grace. If it had been God's will, she would have been willing to stay in this vale of shadows for the sake of her husband, son and daughter, but consoled herself and them with the reflection that the separation would not be long, some bright day they would meet in the land of light and love where parting would be known no more.

' 'There is no death, the stars go down

To rise upon some fairer shore ; And bright in heaven's jeweled crown,

They shine forever more. ' 'There is no death, the leaves may fall , And flowers may fade and pass away; They only wait through wintry hours

The coming of May-day. "There is no death, an angel form

Walks o'er the earth with silent tread, And bears our best loved things away,

And then we call them 'dead.' "And ever near us, though unseen. The dear Immortal spirits tread; For all the boundless universe Is life— there is no dead. ' '

Frank Richardson.

MRS. A. T. BROOKS.

The attention of the Conference was called, at the last moment, to the fact that Mrs. A. T. Brooks, the widow of one of our deceased preachers, had died during the year. D. H. Carr explained that this knowledge came to the Joint Board of Finance as they were appor- tioning the Conference Claimant's Fund. He also stated that a brother had agreed to prepare a memoir in time for publication in the Annual. It is greatly to be regretted that this has not been done. The publisher makes this word of explanation, that the uninten- tional omission may be understood. We can not too highly honor the memory of our sainted dead. They fought well the conflicts of the earthly life; they sleep the sleep of rest and hope immortal.

"Rest for the tolling hand,

Rest for the anxious brow, Rest for the weary way-worn feet, Rest from all labor now !

"Soon shall the trump of God

Give out the welcome sound, That shakes thy silent chamber-walls. And breaks the turf -sealed ground."

THREE GENERATIONS

HAVE USED AND RECOMMEND

JflVNE'S EXrEGTORflNT,

Because they know its value. It Cures the Worst Colds, Bronchitis, Asthma, Whooping-Cough, Croup, and even Consumption. It is a safe medicine, pleasant to take ; and it takes so little of it, that it is comparatively inexpensive.

A Great Strength=Giver is

JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE.

It is good for those indefinable ailments of Men, Women and Children, which often baffle even the good physician's searching eye. Where there is a steady loss of appetite, and a steady decline of strength, accompanied with languid feelings, and often with faintness, dizziness and general unrest — not necessarily the out- come of Worms; it builds up the system, and where parasites are present, it effectually destroys and eradicates them.

JAYNE'S ALTERATIVE

Is a thorough Blood Purifier — good wherever such a medicine is required. It is perfectly harmless to a healthy organism, but it an- tidotes the poisons which lurk in the system, and if persistently used, will cure even Scrofula and Cancer.

PREPARED ONLY BY

DR. D. JAYNE & SON,

THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 95

A WORD.

The publisher had hoped to make this issue of the Annual well- nigh perfect, but can now lay no such claim thereto. It is doubtful if even minute books — much less men— can reach the ideal. There are details, tedious and almost innumerable, in a task of this sort. May the reader be charitable, and put himself in the publisher's place.

A few items by way of explanation. The Secretary was forced to go over the entire statistical reports, and fish out the item for Paine and Lane, after the tables were in type. In many cases, it was like trying to decipher hieroglyphics on Egyptian obelisks. In some columns of statistics, the cents are left out, but counted in summing up. In some instances corrections were sent in after Con- ference adjourned. The publisher has made no effort to get them in, since it meant a change of figures all the way through the tables. Foot-notes will indicate something of the nature of these changes. The Conference directory may be inaccurate, in some cases; if so, the tardy brethren can lay the blame at their own doors.

The edition is sent out by mail and express. Where preachers pay charges, they are to deduct the amount from sales. The price of the Annual is twenty cents. Borrowing from preceding years, failure of some to pay for copies sent them, and the improvement of the work, necessitate an increase in price, for this one year, at least. 3,000 copies have been printed, and they ought to be sold. Let the preachers do their best. J. A. Burrow, Publisher.
