HISTORICAL  STATEMENT 

The  North  Carolina  Conference  was  set  off  from  the  Virginia  Conference 
in  May,  1836,  and  in  1850,  and  again  in  1870,  North  Carolina  territory  in  the 
South  Carolina  Conference  was  transferred  to  this  Conference.  In  1890  North 
Carolina  territory  in  the  Holston  Conference  and  in  the  Virginia  Conference, 
except  that  beyond  the  Chowan  River,  was  transferred  to  the  North  Carolina 
Conference,  and  the  Conference  was  divided  into  the  North  Carolina  and 
Western  North  Carolina  Conferences.  In  1894  the  remaining  North  Carolina 
territory  in  the  Virginia  Conference  was  transferred  to  the  North  Carolina 
Conference. 

The  North  Carolina  Conference  of  The  Methodist  Church  was  composed 
of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  of  the  former  M.  E.  Church,  South,  and 
parts  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  of  the  former  Methodist  Protestant 
Church  and  the  Blue  Ridge-Atlantic  Conference  of  the  former  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church.  The  former  Methodist  Episcopal  Church  gave  to  the 
North  Carolina  Conference  of  The  Methodist  Church  9  preachers,  11  charges 
and  1,837  members;  the  former  Methodist  Protestant  Cliurch  23  preachers, 
20  charges  and  9,152  members;  the  former  Methodist  Episcopal  Church, 
South,  273  preachers,  226  charges   and   132,735   members.

ORREN  W.  DOWD 

1875-1955 

Orren  W.   Dowd:   a  Christian   gentleman,   a   clL'\oted   husband,   a   good  minister   of 

Jesus  Christ  and  a  diligent  and  faithful  pastor.  This  epitomizes  the  good  and  useful  hfe 

he  lived  from  the  date  of  his  birth,  October  28,  1875  to  the  moment  of  his  death,  Sunday, 

October  30,  1955;  having  attained  the  ripe  age  of  eighty 

'  years.  During  his  whole  life  it  was  his  custom  to  attend 

church  and  worship  God.  On  this  last  Sunday  in  October 

lie  did  not  go  to  church,  but  to  heaven  instead.  This  was 

as  real  a  part  of  his  plan  and  expectation  as  was  going 

;  to  church.  However,  he  had  no  nostalgic  longing  for  that 

!  other  world.   He  loved  and  enjoyed   life  in  this  world, 

li\ing  in  his  own  lovely  home  at  2107  Fairview  Road, 

Raleigh,  N.  C.  for  the  past  ten  years. 

Much  of  fine  and  noble  living  filled  the  eighty  years 
i)t  O.  W.  Dowd's  life.  He  got  a  good  start  by  being  born 
and  reared  in  the  devout  Christian  home  of  John  A.  and 
Othelia  Dowd  at  Goldston,  N.  C.  Orren  was  one  of  ten 
children. 

His  father  being  a  strong  Baptist  and  his  mother  a 
de\  out  Methodist,  he  got  the  benefits  of  their  doctrinal 
beliefs  and  discussions.  In  consequence,  a  brother  became 
a  Baptist  minister  while  Orren  became  a  Methodist.  In  his  youth  he  received  a  double 
portion  of  the  sacrament  of  baptism:  immersion  according  to  the  Baptist  practice  and 
.sprinkling  according  to  the  Methodist  way.  He  humorously  remarked  sometimes  that  he 
was  safe  on  that  score. 

Brother  Dowd  experienced  conversion  at  the  age  of  sixteen,  and  soon  thereafter  felt 
the  irresistible  call  to  the  Christian  ministry.  This  he  realized  would  require  educational 
preparation  which,  in  that  day  of  very  meager  school  advantages,  seemed  out  of  reach. 
But  he  attended  the  short  public  schools  each  year,  and  later,  some  of  the  academies 
then  extant  in  Nortli  Carolina.  In  the  years  of  his  early  manhood  he  went  to  Douglas, 
jGeorgia,  and  taught  in  the  common  school.  Here  it  was  that  he  made  his  definite  com- 
mitment to  the  Christian  ministry.  From  thence  he  entered  tlie  University  of  North 
'Carolina;  later  transferring  to  Trinity  College.  Still  again  he  transferred  to  Vanderbilt 
University  where  he  graduated  in  1906,  and  did  advanced  studies  in  theolog>'. 

Throughout  his  ministry,  O.  W.  Dowd  had  a  missionary  passion.  He  went  to  the 
western  frontier  of  Montana  to  begin  his  ministry.  He  was  admitted  on  trial  at  Deer 
Creek  Lodge  in  1906  and  spent  the  first  three  years  of  his  ministerial  life  in  Montana; 
then  returned  to  his  nati\e  state  and  became  a  member  of  the  North  Carolina  Con- 
ference. 

He  served  well  tlie  following  charges:  Deer  Lodge,  Montana,  Bladen  Charge,  Troy, 
St.  John-Gibson,  Roxboro — Long  Memorial,  Morehead  City — First  Church,  Wilming- 
ton— Fifth  Avenue,  Franklinton,  Louisburg,  Hamlet,  Elizabeth  City  District,  Goldsboro — 
'St.  Paul,  Oxford,  Dunn,  Raleigh — Jenkins  Memorial.  In  all  his  pastorates  he  emphasized 
the  missionary  responsibility  of  the  church.  During  the  years  of  his  retirement  from  1947 
until  his  death  he  was,  by  special  appointment  of  the  Bishoj),  Missionary  Secretary  of 
jthe  Raleigh  city  Board  of  Missions  and  Church  Extension. 

I  Brother  Dowd  loved  his  home  which  was  always  rich  in  warm  hospitality.  Many  were 
the  friends  who  loved  to  visit  him  and  his  lovely  wife.  He  was  twice  married;  first  to 
Mollie  Wile  of  Helena,  Montana,  June  1908.  She  died  in  1918  while  he  was  pastor  at 
Roxboro.  On  June  9,  1921,  he  was  married  to  Virginia  Calloway  of  Elkin,  N.  C,  who 
(iurvives  him,  and  who  was  during  all  the  years  of  their  happy  married  life  a  faithful  and 
l^racious  helpmeet. 

^  Funeral  services  were  conducted  by  the  Reverends  R.  Grady  Dawson,  W.  Stanley 
jPotter  and  W.  A.  Cade  in  Hayes  Barton  Methodist  Church,  Raleigh,  on  Tuesday, 
November  1,  1955.  Interment  was  in  the  family  burying  plot  at  Roxboro,  N.  C. 


96  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  ^ 

So  lived  our  brotlier  and  friend  for  eighty  years.  It  was  a  great  privilege  and  blessing' 
to  have  known,  loved,  and  worked  with  this  good  man.  He  loved  to  quote  these  words 
of  Whittier  as  an  expression  of  his  faith  and  hope: 

"I  know  not  where  His  islands  lift 

Their  fronded  palms  in  air; 
I  only  know  I  cannot  drift 

Beyond  His  love  and  care."

HARRY  CLEVELAND  SMITH 
1886-1956 


Dr.  Harry  Cleveland  Smith  was  born  at  High  Shoals,  Cleveland  County,  N.  C,  on  ; 
March  26,  1886.  He  was  educated  at  Rutlierford  College  and  Duke  University,  the  latter 
institution  conferring  on  him  the  Degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity  in  1941.  He  was  married 
to  Miss  Carolyn  Olson  on  June  7,  1910.  Dr.  Smith  was 
admitted  On  Trial  into  tlie  North  Carolina  Conference, 
in  session  at  Fayetteville,  December    1912,  and  served  i 
with  distinction  in  the  pastorate,  or  as  District  Superin- 1. 
tendent,  for  nearly  forty-four  years.  . 

Following  a  brief  illness,  he  died  in  Raleigh  on  March  , 
5,  1956.  The  funeral  service  was  conducted  at  Hayes 
Barton  Methodist  Church,  of  which  he  was  pastor,  at 
eleven  o'clock,  March  8,  1956,  by  the  Reverend  R.  G. , 
Dawson,  superintendent  of  tlie  Raleigh  District;  the 
Reverend  W.  A.  Cade,  retired;  and  the  Reverend  W.  L. 
Clegg,  superintendent  of  the  Durham  District.  Dr.  Smith 
is  smrvived  by  his  wife,  Mrs.  Carolyn  Olson  Smith;  three 
daughters:  Mrs.  W.  B.  Bodie,  Mrs.  Jack  Cooke,  and  Mrs. 
B.  W.  Lanier;  and  one  sister,  Miss  Bessie  Smitli. 

Georgia  Harkness  once  said  that,  instead  of  giving  a 
definition  of  religion,  "I  would  like  for  you  to  think  of 
the  most  genuinely  religious  person  you  e\er  knew,  preferably  not  some  saint  of  history,' 
but  one  you  knew  in  flesh  who  seems  to  be  unmistakenly  religious." 

Dr.  Harry  C.  Smith  was  tlie  sort  of  person  that  one  could  accept  as  a  definition  of  a 
Religious  Personahty.  His  hfe  was  characterized  by  spiritual  vitality  and  depth;  he 
thought  of  others  before  himself;  he  was  interested  in  helping  others  achieve  their  best, 
but  with  a  tact  that  drew  tlie  line  at  meddlesomeness;  he  accepted  responsibility  foi^ 
work  that  was  worth  doing  and  carried  it  tlirough  in  spite  of  difficulty;  he  met  the  great; 
crises  and  tlie  petty  annoyances  of  life  with  courage,  calm,  and  a  sense  of  direction.  He 
was  never  bored  witli  himself  or  with  the  world.  He  had  a  host  of  friends,  for  his  owi 
friendliness  won  Uiem  to  him. 

Harry  Smith  was  not  born  with  a  silver  spoon  in  his  mouth.  He  came  from  an  able 
but  not  affluent  family  from  the  foot-hills  of  the  Blue  Ridge  in  our  state.  There  is  m 
doubt  in  my  mind  that  he  reflected  much  of  the  sturdy,  quiet  strength  of  the  hills  tlia 
he  roamed  as  a  boy.  He  knew  how  to  be  patient  and  hov/  to  take  the  long  view.  He  go 
his  education  the  hard  way — and  it  meant  more  to  him. 

One  can  safely  say  that  in  our  generation  there  has  not  been  a  more  dearly  belovei 
man  in  our  North  Carolina  Conference  than  Harry  Smith.  He  was  a  preacher's  ministei 
His  fellow  ministers  naturally  turned  to  him  for  guidance  and  encouragement.  How  man 
of  you  have  done  as  I  have — when  the  walls  seemed  to  be  tumbling  and  it  was  but 
short  step  from  anguished  grief  to  utter  despair — you  went  to  Harry  Smith  and  Han 
Smith  came  to  you,  and  this  quiet,  strong  man  of  God  was  used  by  his  Heavenly  Fathe 
to  restore  your  faitli  and  courage?  ; 

Harry  Smith  had  so  many  friends  because  he  was  a  friend.  He  reflected  perfectly  th, 
observation  made  by  Francis  Bacon,  "this  communicating  of  a  man's  self  to  his  frienj 


Journal  of  Proceedings  97 

.  works  two  contrary  eflfects:  for  it  redoubleth  joys  and  cutteth  grieves  in  halves.  For  there 
i  is  no  man  that  imparteth  his  joys  to  his  friend,  but  that  he  joyeth  the  more,  and  no  man 
imparteth  his  griefs,  but  that  he  grieveth  less." 

Ihe  most  of  us  have  known  Marry  Smith  as  the  pastor  of  large  churches  and  as  a 
district  superintendent,  but  he  never  forgot  his  humble  beginnings.  I  have  heard  him 
speak  often  with  affection  about  his  experiences  and  friends  on  the  Pelham  Circmt  and 
the  Old  Durham  Circuit,  as  indeed  he  did  of  the  more  prominent  appointments  that  he 
;  served.  He  came  early  into  places  of  leadership  and  great  responsibility  because  it  was 
recognized  that  he  possessed  those  "gifts  and  graces"  that  quahfied  him  for  them. 

As  a  pastor  he  was  a  true  shepherd  of  his  hock.  Ihe  word  shepherd  would  come  as 
near  describing  him  as  any  other.  He  loved  his  flock.  He  knew  them,  he  led  them — and 
there  was  spontaneous  and  confident  response  to  his  love  and  leadership.  No  more 
.devoted  pastor  ever  served  in  the  INorth  Carolina  Conference.  His  was  not  a  "Hash  in 
,  the  pan"  type  of  popularity,  but  it  grew  out  of  something  deep  and  abiding  which  stood 
'the  test  of  years.  Upon  two  occasions  he  served  the  same  appointment  that  he  had 
;  previously  served — a  tribute  to  the  trust  and  contidence  placed  in  him. 
'  Harry  bmitli  was  a  wise  and  good  district  superintendent.  He  was  especially  solicitous 
'and  helpful  to  die  younger  preachers  in  his  district.  Laymen  found  it  easy  to  talk  with 
'him.  i$ut  1  must  say  that  the  work  of  a  district  superintendent  was  not  easy  for  him.  1 
spent  six  years  with  hmi  in  the  cabinet  of  our  conference.  1  never  knew  him  to  take  any 
man's  appointment  hghdy.  It  weighed  upon  him.  He  could  not  dismiss  a  ditticult  and 
disappointing  situation  by  simply  saying  that  he  had  done  his  best.  Other  people's  hurts 
became  his  hurts  and  he  carried  them  in  Ins  heart,  ihe  bishops  with  whom  he  worked  in 
the  cabinet  and  all  of  his  associates  depended  much  upon  his  advice  and  counsel  because 
all  knew  that  all  he  said  and  did  was  motivated  by  only  two  considerations:  the  men 
.and  the  church  he  loved. 

;  Harry  Smith  was  powerful  in  the  pulpit  as  well  as  a  pastor,  but  his  power  was  not  the 
•mere  result  of  eloquence  or  of  phrases  aptly  turned.  In  fact,  he  did  not  seek  tiius  to 
jpreach.  His  power  as  a  preacher  was  rooted  in  his  love  for  his  people  blended  effectively 
[and  beautifully  with  a  deep  sense  of  God's  purpose,  plus  the  fact  that  all  his  life  he  was  a 
istiident.  The  best  books  were  always  on  his  desk.  He  liked  to  prepare  sermons.  On 
several  occasions  he  remarked  to  me,  "I  can't  preach  an  old  sermon."  By  that  he  meant 
'that  for  him  his  messages  had  to  be  revelant  and  applicable  to  the  hopes  and  fears  and 
needs  of  liis  particular  congregation.  His  sermons  were  inspiring  because  they  were 
■appropriate  and  they  struck  home  to  those  who  heard  him  because  they  knew  that  the 
,life  and  the  sermon  were  one. 

In  his  home  hfe  Harry  Smith  was  all  that  he  was  in  his  ministerial  life,  plus  the 
intimate  and  tender  ties  that  bind  husband  and  wife  and  father  and  child  togetlier.  He 
never  ceased  to  be  grateful  for  the  inspiration  and  loving  support  of  liis  gracious  and 
beloved  wife.  He  was  proud,  and  justly  so,  of  his  family.  Over  the  years  I  had  the 
ipleasure  of  making  a  nimiber  of  long  trips  with  him,  some  of  them  extended  in  time.  He 
■:ilways  looked  forward  to  getting  home  with  eagerness,  and  the  tender  and  considerate 
way  in  which  he  always  referred  to  his  wife  and  children  was  a  spiritual  blessing  in 
i  tself.  After  his  children  were  grown  and  had  established  homes  of  dieir  own,  he  looked 
iforward  to  thek  visits  with  him  and  his  visits  to  them  with  a  refreshing  buoyancy. 

You,  his  grieving  kin  and  friends,  know  as  well  as  I  that  die  real  significance  of  a 
lijood  and  great  life  cannot  be  expressed  in  the  language  of  men.  It  is  only  expressed  in 
^ts  influence  on  the  hving  of  others.  Wife  and  child,  fellow  minister  and  parishioner  will 
Jjver  be  fiUed  with  gratitude  as  we  recall  his  devotion,  his  fidehty,  and  the  clean,  spirit- 
Hlled  hfe  that  he  hved. 

On  the  day  oi  his  funeral  a  radio  commentator  who  knew  Dr.  Smitli  intimately  said: 
'Next  Sunday  the  pulpit  of  Hayes  Barton  Methodist  Church  will  be  filled  by  another, 
Jut  Dr.  Harry  Smith  will  be  there,  too.  He  will  be  there  in  the  hearts  and  hves  of  those 
^ho  are  made  better  and  for  whom  life  is  more  meaningful." — So  will  he  also  be  at  Duke 
i^4emorial,  Durham,  and  at  Pelham;  at  Trinity,  Wilmington,  and  at  Pleasant  Green,  at 
Carr  and  at  Fletchers,  at  McMannens  and  at  Bethany,  and  when  our  Annual  Conference 
meets  he  will  be  there  in  our  hearts  and  afi^ections. 
j     And  so.  Brother  Harry,  it  is  NOT  farewell,  but  HAIL!  W.  L.  CLEGG

WILLIAM  ALEXANDER  PARSONS 
1872-1956 

William  Alexander  Parsons,  born  in  Montgomery  County,  October  7,  1872,  seemed 
destined  to  become  another  one  of  God's  great  personalities.  He  was  the  son  of  John  A. 
and  Sarah  Parsons.  He  received  his  early  education  at  a  boarding  school  in  Troy,  and : 
upon  completing  high  school,  William  Parsons  attended  a  ; 
Methodist  school  at  Athens,  Tennessee,  where  he  received  : 
a  Bachelor  of  Arts  Degree.  Later,  he  studied  at  the ; 
Chattanooga  Seminary  and  was  awarded  his  Bachelor  of  I 
Divinity  Degree. 

Upon   completion  of  his  formal  education  he   then 
began  his  useful  service  in  the  field  of  teaching.  He  was  i 
received    into    the    Georgia    Conference    in    1889,    and. 
became  principal  of  the  Epworth  Seminary  at  Epworth, , 
Georgia.    Later    he    became    principal    of    Union    Hill . 
Seminary  at  Union  Hill,  Georgia,  making  teaching  his  ! 
profession  for  a  total  of  twelve  years.  Due  to  the  illness  ! 
of  his  mother  he  returned  to  North  Carolina  and  became  t 
pastor  of  the  Troy  Circuit  and  served  that  work  for  one  ( 
year.    Then    he   became    district   superintendent    of    thei 
Statesville  District  in  tlie  Blue  Ridge  and  Atlantic  Con- 
ference and  served  six  years.  After  being  district  super- 
intendent, he  became  pastor  of  the  Boulevard  Methodist  Church  in  Statesville.  Other 
charges  served  were:  Kings  Mountain,  Pinebluff,  and  Glendon.  He  gave  forty-seven  years 
of  faithful  service  to  the  church  and  served  five  years  as  a  Retired  Supply.  He  had  the 
honor  of  attending  fifty-four  consecutive  sessions  of  the  Annual  Conference.  In  his  years 
of  service   he  had  the   distinction   of  being   elected  as    a   delegate   to   three   General 
Conferences. 

The  inspiring  ministry  of  Dr.  Parsons  was  influenced  and  strengthened  by  his  wife, 
the  former  Maggie  WiUingham  of  Clarkson,  Mississippi.  They  were  united  in  marriage 
i:)  1901.  In  the  home  there  was  love  and  devotion  to  each  other  which  radiated  into  the 
life  of  the  community.  He  was  a  true  example  of  Christian  love  and  brotherhood — what 
he  received  he  gave  first  to  others  and  then  to  himself.  Dr.  Parsons  constantly  exemplified 
the  teachings  of  our  Master  in  his  daily  living.  Through  his  generousity  and  humility  he 
became  a  servant  to  humanity  and  a  blessing  to  the  Kingdom  of  God.  These  words  best 
describe  our  beloved  Dr.  Parsons. 

"Christ's  Love,  and   His  Apostles  twelve. 
He  taught,  but  first  he  followed  it  himself." 

On  Sunday,  March  7,  1956,  his  funeral  was  held  at  the  Pinebluff  Methodist  Churc 
His  body  was  placed  in  the  Pinebluff  Cemetery.  Several  hundred  friends  came  to  she 
respect  to  their  Christian  brother  who  had  made  life  a  greater  blessing  for  them. 

'When  earth's  last  picture  is  painted,  and  the  tubes  are  twisted  and  dried. 
When  the  oldest  colors  have  faded,  and  the  youngest  critic  has  died. 
We  shall  rest,  and,  faith,  we  shall  need  it — lie  down  for  an  eon  or  two 
Till  the  Master  of  all  good  workmen  shall  set  us  to  work  anew! 
And  only  the  Master  shall  praise  us,  and  only  the  Master  shall  blame; 
And  no  one  shall  work  for  money,  and  no  one  shall  work  for  fame. 
But  each  for  the  joy  of  the  working,  and  each  in  his  separate  star. 
Shall  draw  the  things  as  he  sees  it  for  the  God  of  things  as  they  are.'

|to  his  childhood  sweetheart,   Mary  A.   White.   To   this  ^ 

blessed   union    were    born   ten   children.    One   paid   the  W

I      He  was  licensed  to  preach  December  3,  1908,  and 

Was  admitted  into  the  North  Carohna  Conference  November  1925.  He  went  home  to 
Ijlory  May  13,  and  his  funeral  was  conducted  from  Gatesville  Methodist  Church  May 
U  by  the  pastor,  the  Rev.  Henry  Bizzell,  and  the  Rev.  B.  B.  Slaughter,  his  former  dis- 
[rict  superintendent.  His  body  was  tenderly  laid  to  rest  in  the  family  burial  ground

■viewport,  1944-51.  He  retired  at  tlie  conference  in  Wilmington,  1951,  but  served  Gates- 
Mile  again  till  June  1952.  From  1952-54  he  served  Harrellsville  and  Winton  Churches, 
kfter  his  retirement  he  made  his  home  in  Gatesville  where  he  had  served  more  than 
jiine  and  a  half  years. 

j  Brother  Jolfiff  loved  and  enjoyed  his  home  life.  His  home  was  full  of  joy  and  was  a 
!)lace  of  peace,  a  pleasant  place  to  visit.  He  had  a  wholesome  and  divine  sense  of  humor 
•nd  was  good  company.  It  was  the  writer's  good  fortune  to  be  associated  with  him  as  his 
listrict  superintendent  for  twelve  years,  six  in  the  Elizabeth  City  district  and  six  in 
he  New  Bern  district;  and  therefore  had  an  opportunity  to  observe  his  life  and  work. 
le  preached  a  positive  gospel,  a  warm-hearted  gospel.  He  felt  it  was  his  duty  and 
i)rivilege  to  feed  and  lead  the  flock.  He  sought  to  lead  his  flock  in  green  pastures  and 
inhere  the  still,  refreshing  waters  flow.  He  ministered  to  rich  and  poor,  the  learned  and 
pterate,  the  saint  and  the  sinner  with  equal  interest  and  understanding,  sympathy  and 
pve.  He  looked  well  after  the  sick,  the  shut-ins  and  those  in  distress,  and  was  much 
JDught  by  those  in  trouble  or  bereavement.  He  was  an  inspiration  to  all  with  whom  he 
lante  in  contact. 

"O  blessed  is  that  man  of  whom  some  soul  can  say. 
He  was  an  inspiration  along  life's  toilsome  way, 
A  well  of  sparkling  water,  a  fountain  flowing  free, 
Forever  hke  his  Master  in  tenderest  sympathy." 

It  can  be  truly  said  of  brother  Jolhtf  that  he  was  a  "good  minister  of  Jesus  Christ," 
I  workman  who  had  no  cause  to  be  ashamed  of  his  work,  rightly  dividing  the  Word  of 
jruth.  He  had  a  passion  for  the  lost  and  always  sought  to  lead  them  safe  into  the  Good 
hepherd's  fold.  He  was  an  attentive  and  devoted  husband  and  an  understanding  and 
ympathetic  father,  a  good  neighbor,  a  good  citizen,  and  a  good  friend  to  all  who  came 
is  way. 


loo  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

In  the  home-going  of  brother  JolliflE,  the  writer  feels  he  has  lost  a  good  friend,  and 
his  feehng  can  be  expressed  in  the  words  of  James  Whitcomb  Riley: 
"I  cannot  say  and  I  will  not  say 
That  he  is  dead!  He  is  just  away. 
With  a  cheery  smile  and  a  wave  of  the  hand. 
He  has  wandered  into  an  Unknown  Land, 
And  left  us  dreaming  here  how  very  fair 
It  needs  must  be  since  he  lingers  there. 
And  you — O  you,  who  the  wildest  yearn 
For  the  old  time  step  and  the  glad  return — 
Think  of  him  as  faring  on  as  dear 
In  the  love  of  There  as  in  the  love  of  here; 
Think  of  him  still  as  the  same,  I  say. 
He  is  not  dead!  He  is  just  away."

MRS.  J.  H.  BUFFALOE 
1874-1955 

Mrs.  Mattie  Buffaloe,  born  near  Garner,  N.  C,  82  years  ago,  passed  from  earth  into 
.^ternity  July  2,  1955,  in  the  home  of  her  son,  James,  at  Marston,  N.  C. 

Mrs.  Buffaloe  was  the  widow  of  the  late  Rev.  James  H.  BuflFaloe,  a  faithful  and  highly 
appreciated  minister  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference. 
For  41  years  they  were  co-laborers  in  the  kingdom  of 
God.  Her  chief  aim,  so  far  as  her  husband  was  concerned, 
'was  to  keep  the  home  and  the  family,  so  that  neither 
would  ever  hinder  him  from  answering  every  call  of  duty 
that  came.  The  weight  of  the  work  of  the  kingdom  of 
God  was  on  her  shoulders  as  much  as  it  was  on  his.  She 
was  a  true  helpmate. 

For  the  past  13  years,  most  of  which  time  was  spent 
in  tlie  home  of  her  son  James,  she  experienced  poor 
health.  During  these  years  her  son's  wife  was  a  real 
daughter  to  her,  caring  for  her  as  tenderly  and  as  lovingly 
as  anyone  could  have  done. 

In  the  afternoon  of  July  4  her  body  was  laid  to  rest 
in  New  Bethel  cemetery,  near  Garner,  where  her  hus- 
iband's  body  also  rests. 

She  left  three  children:  James  Henry,  Marston,  N.  C, 
Mrs.  E.  J.  Alpine  of  New  York,  and  William  of  Atlanta,  Ga.,  and  si.x  grandchildren. 

Mrs.  Buffaloe  was  a  Christian  mother  and  home-maker.  Her  home  was  a  happy  place 
or  each  inmate,  and  for  all  who  entered.  Her  life  told  the  story  of  one  saved  by  grace, 
ihe  has  earned  her  rest  from  the  labors  of  this  world.  "Well  done,  thou  good  and  faithful 
•lervant  .  .  .  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  Lord."

MRS.  J.  L.  MIDGETTE 
1887-1955 

Mrs.  Loudisa  Hooper  Midgette,  widow  of  the  Reverend  J.  L.  Midgette,  died  at  the 
[lome  of  her  son,  Linville,  in  Carj-,  North  Carolina,  July  17,  1955.  Although  she  had 
;)een  sick  and  confined  to  her  bed  for  some  time,  her  death  came  as  a  surprise  to  her 
(oved  ones  and  many  friends,  for  she  had  made  improve- 
hient  and  was  able  to  be  up  some.  The  funeral  was 
Conducted  in  Gary  Methodist  Church  July  19,  by  the 
fteverend  B.  L.  Davidson,  her  pastor,  assisted  by  the 
Reverends  B.  O.  Merritt,  B.  F.  Boone,  and  H.  B.  Baum. 
Her  body  was  laid  to  rest  beside  that  of  her  husband  in 
he  cemetery  at  Norlina,  North  Carolina. 

Mrs.  Midgette,  the  daughter  of  Rowan  and  Jane 
lobinson  Hooper,  was  born  at  Salvo,  Dare  County,  North 
Zlarolina,  May  5,  1887.  In  1906  she  was  married  to  J.  L. 
Midgette.  Some  years  later  Mr.  Midgette  felt  the  call 
"o  the  Christian  ministry,  and  with  him  she  answered  the 
rail  and  accepted  the  challenge  to  serve  God  in  the  North 
parolina  Conference  of  the  Methodist  Church.  Together 
hey  labored  for  a  number  of  years,  serving  the  following 
charges:  Avon;  Hemp  (Bobbins);  Newton  Grove;  Center 
|lill;  Halifax;  Norlina;  Fuquay  Springs;  Gary. 
J  They  were  indeed,  "Workers  together"  for  the  Lord.  Because  of  his  weak  eyes,  she 
jead  much  for  her  husband  and  thereby  helped  him  in  his  studies.  Together  they  carried 
|n  the  program  of  the  Church.  Together  they  visited,  giving  spiritual  guidance  and 
'^omfort  to  the  people  of  their  parish.  Together  they  worked  with  the  youth,  one  of 


102  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

whom  was  the  writer.  To  ine  she  was  a  spiritual  mother  throughout  the  years.  Hei 
unconscious  influence  and  good  advice  meant  much  in  causing  me  to  enter  the  Christiar 
ministry  and  have  been  a  constant  source  of  inspiration  and  encouragement  to  me.  Theii 
time  together  was  far  too  short,  for  the  earthly  union  was  broken  on  May  4,  1935,  wher 
Mr.  Midgette  answered  the  "one  clear  call"  to  join  "that  yonder  sacred  throng."  But  Mrs 
Midgette  did  not  cease  from  labors  for  the  Lord.  She  continued  to  serve  in  her  loca 
church,  and  her  conference,  being  active  in  the  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service 
and  other  work  as  long  as  her  health  would  permit. 

She  was  a  woman  of  great  faith  and  deep  conviction.  She  gave  of  her  best  to  the 
Master:  in  the  simple  faith  of  her  childhood,  in  the  strength  of  her  youth,  in  the  vigo; 
and  wisdom  of  her  womanhood.  She  also  gave  herself  in  devoted  love  as  a  Christiar 
mother  and  a  faithful  wife.  Truly,  she  gave  God  all  her  life.  Her  testimony  was  that  she 
could  not  remember  when  she  became  a  Christian,  for  she  had  always  loved  Christ  a' 
her  friend  and  Saviour.She  was  quiet  and  unassuming;  yet  she  was  an  efiFective  worker 
being  held  in  high  esteem  by  those  with  whom  she  worked.  "Blessed  are  the  dead  whc 
die  in  the  Lord  from  henceforth;  yea,  saith  the  Spirit,  that  they  may  rest  from  theij 
labors;  and  their  works  do  follow  them."

MRS.  JULIA  SMITH  JOHNSON 
1868-1955 


Mrs.  Julia  Smith  Johnson  was  born  in  Wayne  County  near  Goldsboro,  North  Carolina 
June  19,  1868,  in  the  cotmtry  home  of  her  parents  Needham  Jacob  Smith  and  Sara 
Peele  Smith. 

During  childhood,  and  as  a  young  woman,  she  at- 
tended Sunday  school  and  church  at  Mt.  Carmel,  just  a 
few  miles  away,  where  the  parents  and  other  relatives 
had  worshipped  for  many  years.  Later,  she  attended 
school  at  Henderson  Female  College  in  Henderson,  North 
Carolina.  Mr.  J.  M.  Rhodes  was  president  of  the  College, 
which  a  few  years  later  was  moved  to  Littleton,  Nortli 
Carolina,  and  became  Little  Female  College,  then  Little- 
ton College. 

Returning  from  school  she  became  a  teacher  in  one 
of  the  county  schools  near  Pikeville,  but  "The  Man"  in 
lier  life  persuaded  her  that  her  talents  could  be  used  tc 
a  much  better  advantage  as  a  minister's  wife,  so  on 
January  1,  1889,  she  became  the  wife  of  James  Gabriel 
Johnson,  who  was  also  reared  in  the  section  of  Wayne 
County  where  she  grew  up. 

Now  she  was  a  Methodist  preacher's  wife!  The  Annual 
Conference  had  just  convened  and  his  appointment  was  Marion,  North  Carolina.  Thai 
was  a  long  way  from  home  in  those  days,  and  they  had  not  been  so  near  the  mountains 
before,  so  moving  to  Marion  was  quite  a  venture. 

The  next  conference  returned  him  to  eastern  Carolina  where  they  lived,  worked 
and  ministered  for  many  years. 

The  Annual  Conferences  were  always  held  in  December,  the  coldest  month  of  all 
in  those  years.  Since  they  were  moving  anyway  it  seemed  wise,  and  good,  to  return  t< 
her  parents'  home  for  the  birth  of  tlieir  first  child  who  was  born  December  21,  ani 
named  Clement  Moorman.  Four  years  later  a  daughter,  Julia  Gladys,  was  born  in  Clinton 
North  Carolina. 

The  horse  and  buggy  days  were  not  easy  for  the  circuit  preacher,  and  certainly  not 
for  the  wife  and  small  children,  so  she  remained  at  home  most  of  the  time  serving  as  : 
good  mother,  a  good  neighbor,  Sunday  school  teacher  and  certainly  an  active  worke 
in  the  Ladies'  Aid  Society. 

Her  whole  life  was  mostly  that  way — quiet,  unassuming,  reserved,  nothing  spectacular

or  anything  about  which  anyone  would  write  a  book,  but  always  a  devoted  wife,  mother, 

friend  and  loyal  to  her  church. 

Parsonage  living  was  not  easy  either,  but  the  cupboard  was  never  bare  and  because 

of  her  talent  and  abihty  to  sew,  the  family  was  usually  nicely  dressed.  However,  because 

of  the  many  advantages  of  parsonage  living,  knowing  that  she  had  a  definite  part  in 

building  God's  kingdom  on  earth,  and  the  many  friends  during  those  years,  she  was 

patient,  uncomplaining  and  happy. 

Then  at  times  sadness  came  into  the  home.  The  sudden  death  of  her  father,  then 

the  mother,  and  some  years  later  the  brother,  Rufus  Jackson  Smith,  and  a  sister,  Mrs. 

Nora  Johnson,  both  of  Goldsboro. 

Two  sisters  are  still  living  in  Goldsboro,  Mrs.  Molly  Thompson  and  Mrs.  Mattie 

Sammons.  A  brother,  Hal  L.  Smith,  lives  in  Philadelphia,  Pa. 

The  son,  Clement  M.  Johnson,  is  a  resident  of  Morehead  City,  North  Carolina. 
Years  passed  and  there  were  grandchildren  to  love  and  help  care  for,  so  they  settled 

down  near  the  daughter  and  her  family,  (Mrs.  Roy  Sutherland)  in  Laurinburg,  N.  C.  The 
I  preacher  husband  had  retired  from  regular  active  service  and  they  had  a  little  home  close 
I  by  which  they  called,  "The  Play  House."  They  lived  happily  there  for  about  six  years, 
I  then  on  January  8,  1945,  having  spent  most  of  his  83  years  loving,  working  for,  and 
I  serving  his  Heavenly  Father,  we  could  almost  hear  Him  say,  "Jim,  you  seem  so  tired! 
I  come  home  to  my  house." 

I  The  sadness  and  hurt  because  of  separation  is  difficult,  especially  in  the  late  years, 
'  so  for  ten  years  there  was  a  feeling  of  aloneness,  even  though  she  lived  in  the  home  with 
'  loved  ones. 

Because  of  several  falls  and  blindness  due  to  cataracts,  she  was  in  very  poor  health 

for  three  years.  She  was  87  years  old  now  and  our  Heavenly  Father  seemed  to  feel  that 

she  had  served,  she  had  sacrificed,  she  had  endured  enough,  and  the  time  had  come  for 
1  rest  and  peace  and  happiness,  with  the  loved  ones  who  had  gone  before.  So  our  loving 
!  and  merciful  Heavely  Father  came  again  on  August  12,  1955,  and  seemed  to  say,  "Julia, 
j  you  have  lived  a  long  useful  life  in  which  I  am  well  pleased,  come  with  me  to  my 
;  house." 
'        The  funeral  services  were  held  in  the  home,  her  pastor,  the  Reverend  Henry  Ruark, 

officiating,  assisted  by  the  Reverend  Hevdtt  Fulton,  pastor  of  the  First  Presbyterian 
I  Church. 

She  was  laid  to  rest  in  Hillside  Cemetery  beneath  a  mound  of  beautiful  flowers,  a 

fitting  tribute  to  a  sweet,  gentle,  lovable,  Christian  woman. 
I       Written  with  a  great  feeling  of  humility,  much  love,  and  thanks  for  many  happy 

memories.  GLADYS  JOHNSON  SUTHERLAND 


MRS.  MARY  VVOODLEY  MERRITT 
1871-1955 

Mrs.  Mary  Woodley  Merritt,  widow  of  the  Reverend 
!  William  C.  Merritt,  died  in  Lexington,  N.  C,  on  October 

5,  1955,  after  a  serious  illness  of  one  day.  Her  funeral 
I  was  conducted  in  First  Methodist  Church,  Lexington,  by 

the  Reverend  Howard  C.  Wilkinson,  and  the  burial 
•  service  was  conducted  by  the  Reverend  E.  B.  Fisher  in 
!  Maplewood  Cemetery,  Durham,  N.  C. 
(  Mrs.  Merritt  was  a  noble  Christian  soul  in  every  way. 
'  She  taught  school  for  six  years  before  her  marriage  in 
'  1895.    She    joined   the   church   when   quite    young   and 

always  was  very  much  interested   in  the   work  of  the 

church.  She  and  her  husband  established  a  truly  Christian 
i  home,  one  in  which  first  things  were  put  first.  They  were 
>  instrumental  in  leading  to  the  salvation  of  large  numbers, 

for  they  taught  both  by  precept  and  example  the  principles  of  the  Christian  life.  Mrs. 

Merritt  was  active  in  the  various  phases  of  church  work.  Her  activities  included  serving 

as  president  of  the  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service,  director  of  youth  and  children, 


104  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

teacher  of  adults,  and  work  with  choirs.  She  was  awarded  a  Life  Membership  in  the 
Woman's  Socie*:}/  of  Christian  Service.  With  the  passing  of  the  years  she  retained  her 
wonderful  Christian  faith  and  was  a  source  of  constant  inspiration  to  all  who  were 
associated  with  her. 

To  Mrs.  Merritt  and  her  husband,  five  children  were  born:  the  first  child,  a  girl,  died 
in  infancy.  She  is  survived  by  the  following  children:  Julia,  of  Lexington;  Ruth,  of 
Lexington  and  Louisburg  College;  Woodley  C.  of  Honolulu,  Hawaii;  and  Ethel  (Mrs. 
Ottis  M.  Hedrick)  of  Lexington.  She  is  survived  also  by  two  half-sisters:  Mrs.  Ida 
Grey,  Norfolk,  Virginia,  and  Mrs.  Clara  M.  Windley,  Suffolk,  Virginia. 

Mrs.  Merritt's  life  was  characterized  by  a  great  love  for  the  members  of  her  family, 
for  the  Methodist  Church,  and  for  God.  Her  life  here  on  earth  will  continue  to  bear 
fruit  for  the  righteousness  in  the  hves  of  all  to  whom  she  was  known  before  her  departure 
to  the  heavenly  home  prepared  for  children  of  God.  She  is  still  active  in  her  Father's 
house  prepared  for  her  by  her  Elder  Brother,  Jesus  Christ,  with  angels  and  archangels 
singing  the  sweet  anthems  of  glory.  All  who  knew  her  rise  up  and  call  her  blessed.

MRS.  FLORA  McIVOR  BODDIE  MOYLE 
1869-1956 

On  February  7,  1956,  the  gentle  spirit  of  Mr.  Flora  Mclvor  Boddie  Moyle  was 
released  from  pain,  and  she  went  home  to  rest  in  her  Father's  House. 

She  was  born  August  25,   1869,  the  daughter  of  J.  H.  B.  Boddie  and  Leah  Vick 
Boddie  of  Nash  County,  N.  C. 

On  November  28,  1893,  she  was  married  to  a  young 
Methodist  minister,  Samuel  Thomas  Moyle,  who  was 
then  serving  the  Nashville  Circuit.  For  about  35  years 
she  was  his  faithful  companion  and  helpmeet,  as  they 
served  together  many  charges  in  the  N.  C.  Conference, 
including  those  at  Manteo;  Ocracoke;  St.  John's,  Golds- 
boro;  and  Fairmont. 

Her  life  was  one  of  unselfish  service  to  her  Master; 
giving  freely  of  her  time  and  talents  to  all  phases  of 
the  work  of  the  church,  and  helping  her  husband  with 
his  pastoral  duties.  In  the  Sunday  School,  the  choir,  and 
in  the  Woman's  Missionary  Society,  she  was  ever  ready 
to  give  her  best  efi^orts,  and  at  one  time  she  served  as 
District  Secretary  of  Woman's  Missionary  Society. 

Her  love  for  her  church  never  waned  and  she 
attended  its  services  as  long  as  her  health  permitted.  At 
one  of  the  las'  meetings  she  attended  she  gave  an  inspiring  program  in  her  Circle  of 
W.S.C.S. 

She  made  h.r  home  with  her  daughter,  Mrs.  Montee  Maddox  in  Goldsboro,  and  it 
was  she,  who  tenderly  cared  for  her  mother  during  the  three  and  one-half  years  she  was 
confined  to  her  bed.  Mrs.  Moyle  bore,  uncomplainingly,  these  years  of  pain,  and  was 
"sustained  and  soothed  by  an  unfaltering  trust"  knowing  Him  in  whom  she  believed. 

Three  sons,  William,  of  Lynchburg,  Va.;  Samuel  T.  of  Columbia,  S.  C;  and  Paul, 
of  West  Palm  Beach,  Fla.;  and  daughter,  Mrs.  Montee  Maddox,  survive  along  with 
seven  grandchildren  and  five  great-grandchildren.

MRS.  I.  S.  RICHMOND 
1897-1956 

Mrs.  I.  S.  Richmond,  known  to  her  intimate  circle  of  friends  as  "Nannie  Mack," 
was  born  in  Edgecombe  County,  North  Carolina,  on  December  28,  1887.  She  was 
the  daughter  of  Robert  Mack  Brown  and  Nannie  Harper  Brown.  On  August  9,  1924, 
she  was  married  to  the  Reverend  I.  S.  Richmond.  Two 
I  children  were  bom  to  this  consecrated  couple:  Robert, 
iwho  died  in  1954,  and  Mrs.  Elda  Richmond  Edwards. 

Nannie  Mack  died  February  11,  1956,  after  a  long 
I  illness.  Her  funeral  was  conducted  in  the  Pinetops 
Methodist  Church  in  Pinetops,  her  girlhood  home,  on 
Sunday,  February  12,  1956,  by  the  Rev.  W.  L.  Clegg, 
the  Rev.  C.  F.  Heath,  and  the  Rev.  Vance  Lewis.  Inter- 
ment was  in  the  cemetery  at  Pinetops.  She  is  survived 
by  her  husband,  her  daughter,  one  grandchild,  and  five 
sisters. 

Nannie  Mack  came  as  near  being  the  ideal  wife  of 
la  minister  as  any  her  contemporaries  ever  knew.  She  was 
ja  natural  fit  in  the  parsonage  home.  Her  talents  were 
dedicated  and  directed  to  two  directions:  her  home  and 
her  church.  At  every  place  where  she  and  her  preacher- 
husband  lived  and  served  she  made  a  good  and  lasting 
impression.  Every  community  in  which  she  lived  and  labored  is  a  better  community 
because  she  passed  that  way  and  every  church  where  her  husband  was  pastor  is  a  better 
and  stronger  church  because  it  was  blessed  by  her  quiet  and  consecrated  service.  She 
(possessed  a  special  talent  for  calming  troubled  hearts  and  she  helped  lift  what  seemed 
;it  times  to  be  unbearable  loads  from  the  troubled  souls  of  many.  She  had  a  way  of 
iwinning  close  and  loyal  friends.  Her  own  sincere  and  genuine  concern  awakened  a  like 
'i-oncern  and  interest  in  others.  There  was  no  pretense  or  affectation  about  her.  Her  love 
'.was  "without  dissimulation."  To  know  her  was  to  realize  that  here  was  no  superficial 
person,  but  a  deeply  religious,  sincere,  and  capable  child  of  God. 

[      Sorrow  and  ill-health  was  her  portion  the  last  three  years  of  her  life.  However,  she 
jrlid  not  allow  this  to  embitter  her.  If  anything  her  faith  grew  stronger  and  her  chief 
oncern  remained  for  others  and  not  for  herself. 

A  good  and  gracious  woman  has  walked  among  us.  A  devoted  wife  and  faithful 
nother  bore  a  glowing  testimony  supported  by  a  life  of  consistent  Christian  endeavor. 

"Out  of  the  dusk  a  shadow, 
Then  a  spark; 
Out  of  the  cloud  a  silence. 

Then  a  lark; 
Out  of  the  heart  a  rapture. 

Then  a  pain; 
Out  of  the  dead,  cold  ashes, 
Life  again!"

Wff^  ^       It  was  this  writer's  privilege  to  have  known  them  in  their 

home    and    in    the    fellowship    of   this    ministry    over    a 

period  of  thirt>'  years.   Rarely  did  we  see  one  without 

-  -  --  the  other.  They  were  a  team  and  inseparable  companions 

except  by  the  inexorable  power  of  death.  But  they  were 

sure  that  death's  \  ictory  is  but  for  a  brief  moment,  and  that  soon  will  come  the  eternal 

reunion  in  God's  heavenly  kingdom. 

She  was  educated  at  Greensboro  College  and  had  many  of  the  cultural  qualities  of 
life,  especially  playing  the  piano.  She  withheld  no  talent  or  service  she  could  render. 
For  the  past  several  years  of  their  retirement  she  and  Brother  Harmon  lived  in  their 
home  in  Raleigh.  Thev  continued  constant  in  their  interest  in  the  church  and  the  worship 
of  God. 

Their  union  had  been  blessed  with  two  fine  children,  John  C.  Harmon,  Jr.,  of  Wash- 
ington, D.  C,  and  Mrs.  Richard  L.  Cromarty  of  San  Francisco,  California,  both  of  whom 
were  educated  at  Duke  Uni\ersity.  There  are  five  grandchildren.  Thus  the  tide  of  life

MRS.  CHAS.  O.  DuRANT 
1861-1956 


When  the  message  came  of  the  passing  of  my  dear  friend,  Mrs.  Geneva  Edgerton 
DuRant,  in  the  twilight  hour  of  Mother's  Day,  Sunday,  May  13,  1956,  immediately  there 
came  to  my  mind  the  words  of  that  beautiful  resurrection  hymn: 
"The  strife  is  o'er,  the  battle  done; 
The  victory  of  life  is  won: 
The  song  of  triumph  has  begun." 

Reviewing  the  years  since  our  friendship  began  in 
1915  soon  after  Mrs.  DuRant  and  her  late  husband,  the 
Reverend  Charles  Owen  DuRant,  moved  into  the  Meth- 
odist parsonage  in  Snow  Hill  and  I  moved  into  the  town 
as  the  bride  of  one  of  its  doctors,  I  think  the  characteristic 
I  admired  most  in  her  was  her  gallantry.  She  was  truly 
one  whom  the  "Stings  and  arrows  of  outrageous  fortune" 
could  never  intimidate.  Though  for  many  years  a  great 
sufferer,  she  ne\'er  lost  her  keen  interest  in  people  and 
in  their  problems  and  never  failed  to  come  up  with  a 
solution  to  a  problem,  provided  it  was  asked  for.  Mrs. 
DuRant  had  an  active  mind  and  a  ready  wit  which  she 
retained  until  her  passing.  She  attained  the  age  of 
ninety-four  years  and  eight  months  and  until  the  last 
Few  months  of  her  life  read  the  newspapers  and  her  Bible  daily.  In  fact,  she  read  the 
Bible  in  its  entirety  more  than  a  score  of  times  during  her  busy  life. 

Gene^'a  Arcada  Edgerton  was  born  of  Quaker  parents,  Nathan  Edgerton  and  Sallie 


Journal  of  Proceedings  107 

Pike  Edgerton,  on  September  22,  1861,  in  the  Nahunta  section  of  Wayne  County  and 
was  the  youngest  and  last  survivor  of  sixteen  children. 

She  was  married  to  the  late  Reverend  Charles  Owen  DuRant  of  the  North  Carolina 
Methodist  Conference  on  November  18,  1891,  and  was  a  great  help  and  a  constant 
source  of  inspiration  to  him  throughout  his  ministry  of  almost  forty  years  duration.  One 
of  her  greatest  natural  endowments  was  the  gift  of  nursing  and  she  was  always  ready  to 
:  minister  to  the  sick  whenever  an  opportunity  arose.  She  was  a  meticulous  housekeeper 
I  and  it  is  literally  true  that  every  parsonage  she  lived  in  was  in  better  condition  when 
I  she  moved  out  than  when  she  moved  in. 

Following  Mr.  DuRant's  death  in  1919,  shortly  after  his  last  pastorate  in  Snow  Hill, 
j  Mrs.  DuRant  made  her  home  with  her  daughter  and  son-in-law,  Ethel  DuRant  Lasitter 
!  and  Mark  C.  Lasitter,  Sr.,  and  their  love  and  tender  care  kept  her  alive  long  bevond 
I  her  life  expectancy.  The  devotion  of  her  other  daughter  and  son,  Winnie  Dale  DuRant 
'  and  Fred  Owen  DuRant,  will  remain  as  a  memorial  to  a  true  mother  throughout  the 
I  years  to  come.  Mrs.  DuRant's  only  grandson,  Mark  C.  Lasitter,  Jr.,  and  her  lovely  little 
•  great-granddaughter,  Deborah  Lee  Lasitter,  also  shared  in  the  affection  she  felt  for  her 
I  own  children. 

I  During  the  latter  years  of  her  life  she  became  tremendouslv  interested  in  the  work  of 
!  the  Green  County  Tuberculosis  Association  and  until  the  fall  of  1955  she  personally 
.  folded  the  hundT-eds  of  thousands  of  seals  for  the  mail  sale,  together  with  the  accompany- 
ing letters,  for  which  she  was  given  due  recognition  by  the  press. 

Always  there  shone  in  Mrs.  DuRant  a  strong,  brave,  persistent,  unquenchable  light. 
Someone  has  said,  "Life  is  no  brief  candle  to  me.  It  is  a  sort  of  snlendid  torch  which  I 
have  got  hold  of  for  a  moment,  and  I  want  to  make  it  burn  bri^rhtlv  as  possible  before 
'handing  it  on  to  future  generations."  And  this,  I  am  sure,  was  Mrs.  DuRant's  credo. 

Trulv  she  could  sav  with  St.  Paul:  "I  have  fought  a  good  fight,  I  have  finished  my 
course,  T  have  kept  the  faith:  and  henceforth  there  is  laid  up  for  me  a  crown  of  righteous- 
ness which  the  Lord,  the  rif^hteous  Judge,  shall  give  me  at  that  day:  and  not  to  me  only, 
V-iit  unto  all  them  also  that  love  His  appearing." 

The  fimeral  services  were  held  at  the  home  of  her  daughter  and  son-in-law,  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Mark  C.  Lasitter,  Sr.  Assisting  her  pastor,  the  Reverend  W.  B.  Cotton,  in  the 
service  were  two  former  pastors,  the  Reverend  J.  D.  Young  of  Beaufort  and  the  Reverend 
J.  A.  Russell  of  New  Bern. 

Her  body  was  borne  to  its  last  resting  place  in  St.  Barnabas  Cemetery  in  Snow  Hill 
bv  six  of  her  great-nephews  in  the  late  afternoon  of  May  14,  there  to  lie  by  that  of  her 
husband  and  together  with  him  await  resurrection. 

The  beautiful  verses  below  were  written  bv  her  daughter,  Winnie  Dale  DuRant,  and 
express  the  feeling  of  all  who  knew  and  loved  Mrs.  DuRant: 

"I  will  not  grieve! 
I   will   not  shed    a   tear    at  her   release! 
It  must  be   sweet   indeed 
To  leave  these  prison  walls  of  flesh 
And  stand  in  radiance  at  last 
On   heaven's  threshold   vast. 
And  just  as  truly   as  kind  hands 
Reached  out  to  meet  her  when  she  came. 
Angelic  hands   outstretch  today 
To  greet  her  in   His  holy  name. 
My  heart  rejoices   now  to  know 
That  she  is  free   from  pain: 
She  walks  in  peace  and  blessedness 
Until  the  day  we  meet  again."

JAMES  WALTER  SMITH 

1886-1955 

James  Walter  Smith  was  born  in  a  Christian  home.  His  earthly  pilgrimage  began 
September  19,  1886,  in  the  vicinity  of  St.  Pauls,  and  ended  while  living  in  Pembroke, 
Nortli  Carolina,  and  pastoring  the  Fairview-Hickory  Grove  Circuit,  Wilmington  District, 
North  Carolina  Conference,  November  20,  1955.  He  had 
quite  a  rich  experience  during  these  sixty-nine  years. 
His  parents,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Archie  Smith,  were  farmers 
and  attended  Thessalonica  Methodist  Church,  in  the 
Saddle  Tree  vicinity.  His  parents  were  faithful  attendants 
of  cliurch  and  noted  for  taking  their  children  with  them. 
Walter  as  a  boy,  had  experience  on  the  farm,  as  a 
barber  in  St.  Pauls,  and  was  educated  in  the  schools  of 
Robeson  County  and  in  a  Methodist  Institute  in  Athens, 
Tennessee.  He  succeeded  his  father  as  church  school 
superintendent  in  his  home  church.  He  was  young, 
handsome,  brilliant  and  aggressive,  he  adorned  that  office 
and  gave  it  a  new  dignity. 

Brother  Smith  taught  in  the  public  schools  of  Robeson 
County  for  39  years,  served  as  Postmaster  in  the  Pem- 
broke Post  Office  for  4  years  and  was  pastor  in  various 
Methodist  Churches  in  Robeson,  Bladen,  Richmond,  and 
Scotland  counties  in  North  Carolina,  and  in  Dillon  County,  South  Carolina. 

He  was  an  efficient  administrator,  and  an  excellent  pastor.  His  greatness  was  best 
revealed  in  his  relationship  to  God.  Among  his  many  choice  verses  in  the  Bible  is  found 
in  the  16th  Division  of  Psalms,  the  11th  verse: 

"Thou  wilt  show  me  the  path  of  life; 
in  thy  presence  is  fullness  of  joy; 
at    thy    right   hand    there    are   pleasures 
for  evermore." 

He  was  indeed  the  "full  corn  in  the  ear,"  ripe  and  hanging  lightly  to  be  plucked  by 
the  hand  Divine.  With  courage  and  hope  he  quietly  met  the  end,  and  at  this  hour  we 
pay  our  homage  to  the  memory  of  a  true  churchman,  a  great  public  servant,  a  noble 
and  spiritual-minded  man,  and  our  dear  friend. 

On  December  23,  1914,  he  was  married  to  Miss  Lelah  Locklear  of  Lumberton, 
North  Carolina.  She  was  a  devoted  companion  in  the  work  of  his  ministry,  a  firm  source 
of  inspiration,  and  a  tower  of  strength  to  him  as  he  labored  in  his  ministry.  To  this 
union  were  born  seven  children.  Neill  Archie  died  at  22  months.  Others  are  Mrs.  Frank 
H.  Epps,  assistant  supervisor  of  schools;  Rodger  Millard  Smith,  credit  investigator. 
Providence,  R.  I.:  Mrs.  Delton  H.  Lowry,  Pembroke,  N.  C;  Joseph  Walter  Smith, 
agromony  department.  State  College,  Raleigh,  N.  C;  Mrs.  David  H.  Ransom,  State  of 
Maryland;  and  Henry  Wellington  Smith,  of  Pembroke,  N.  C.  They  have  all  taken  their 
places  as  educated  Christian  citizens  in  various  fields  of  labor  and  are  rendering  fine 
service  to  God  and  man. 

Funeral  services  were  held  on  November  23,  2:30  p.m.  at  the  First  Methodist  Church, 
Pembroke,  by  the  writer;  the  pastor.  Reverend  R.  E.  Garland  and  the  district  superin- 
tendent, Rev.  Vergil  E.  Oueen,  with  interment  following  in  his  home  cemetery.  Many 
Conference  brethren  and  hundreds  of  other  friends  came  to  the  services. 

Our  lives  are  richer  because  he  lived  and  labored  among  us.  I  find  it  impossible  to 
ex-press  my  admiration  for  my  dear  friend  of  the  years.  I  knew  him  from  his  boyhood 
d.iys.  My  aff^ections  were  formed  for  him  in  the  early  years  of  his  life,  and  that  aflFection 
never  waned  or  wavered.  We  shall  greet  each  other  again  in  the  "sweet  by-and-by." 

He  was  a  great  singer,  and  here  is  one  of  his  favorite  hymns: 


Journal  of  Proceedings  109 

'Jesus  Saviour,  pilot  me 
Over  life's  tempestuous  sea; 
Unknown  waves  before  me  roll 
Hiding  rocks  and  treacherous  shoal; 
Chart  and  compass  came  from  Thee 
Jesus  Saviour  pilot  me. 
As  a  inother  stills  her  child 
Thou  canst  hush  tlie  ocean  wild; 
Boisterous  waves  obey  thy  will 
When  thou  sayest  to  them,  "Be  still." 
Wondrous  Sovereign  of  the  sea — 
Jesus  Saviour  pilot  me. 
When  at  last  I  near  tlie  shore 
And  the  fearful  breakers  roar, 
'Twixt  me  and  the  peaceful  rest 
Then  while  leaning  on  thy  breast 
May  I  hear  Thee  say  to  me, 
"Fear  not,  I  will  pilot  thee."     Amen. 

DOCTER  F.  LOWRY 


WILLIAM  CARROLL  SHAW 
1881-1956 


God's  great  plan  for  a  human  being  is  undiscernable  from  the  beginning  of  a  life, 
Ijut  as  one  looks  backward  o\er  the  span  of  earthly  existence,  God's  great  plan  can  be 
>t  lu  in  His  moulding  and  using  of  such  a  life.  Thus  it  is  that  God  was  able  to  use 
W  illiam  Carroll  Shaw  in  many  diverse  ways.  As  a  soldier, 
lawyer,  teacher,  court  clerk  and  minister  he  was  found 
cin  unfailing  witness  for  righteousness  in  every  phase  of 

lilr. 

Born  on  May  5,  1881,  in  the  Mount  Hope  community, 

southwest  of  Greensboro  in  Guilford  County,  Nordi 
[  Carolina,  he  was  the  youngest  son  of  William  Henry  Clay 
I,  Shaw  and  Sarah  Louise  Walker  Shaw.  He  attended 
I  school  at  the  Whitsett  Institute  and  studied  law  in  the 
,  LaSalle  University  Extension  Division  in  Chicago,  Illinois. 

As  a  young  man  he  practiced  law  in  California  and  then 

returned  to  North  Carolina  to  become  a  school  teacher 

in  Alamance  County.  In  1917  he  went  to  Hopewell, 
,  Virginia  to  work  as  a  bookkeeper  in  a  government  war 
'  plant.  It  was  while  here  that  he  married  Miss  Martha 
'  Alice  Saunders. 

Having  felt  since  early  manhood  the  urge  of  God  to 

preach  the  good  news,  he  frequently  held  services  in  the  communities  where  he  Uved. 
•,  In  1920,  he  began  his  Christian  vocation  on  a  full-time  basis  on  the  Guilford  Circuit. 

Later,  he  served  churches  in  Michigan  and  Ohio.  During  the  depression  years  he  worked 

for  the  Imperial  Life  Insurance  Company  in  Wilmington,  North  Carolina,  and  served 
I  as  Deputy  Clerk  of  New  Hanover  County.  In  1945  he  returned  to  the  full-time  ministry 
« and  was  appointed  to  the  Bath  Circuit  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference.  He  then  was 

sent  to  the  Bynum  Charge.  In  1955  he  was  appointed  to  the  Mamers  Charge  in  the 

Raleigh  District.  This  charge  is  composed  of  Spring  Hill,  Cool  Springs,  Mount  Ariel, 

Woodside  and  Union  Churches. 


110  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

On  Friday,  April  27,  1956,  he  and  his  family  had  planned  a  trip,  and  shortly  after  noon 
he  had  gone  to  the  Boone  Trail  School  to  pick  up  his  grandchild.  As  he  got  out  of  his 
car  he  went  to  a  near-by  tree  to  rest  awhile.  The  school  principal  found  him  there 
having  suffered  a  severe  heart  attack.  A  doctor  was  called  but  death  came  within  a 
short  time  after  the  attack. 

This  faithful  servant  of  God  is  survived  by  his  wife,  Martha  Alice  Shaw;  three  sons, 
the  Reverend  S.  M.  Shaw  of  Allardt,  Tennessee;  Thomas  Shaw  of  Bogalusa,  Louisiana; 
and  B.  G.  Shaw  of  Baltimore,  Maryland;  two  daughters,  Mrs.  F.  L.  Dowdy  of  Kerners- 
ville;  and  Mrs.  L.  G.  Dodd  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands;  one  sister,  Mrs.  Jacob  Coble  of 
Greensboro:  and  14  grandchildren. 

Fvmeral  services  were  held  in  the  Spring  Hill  Church  at  2:00  p.m.  on  April  29,  with 
the  following  ministers  conducting  the  services:  The  Reverend  E.  C.  Shoaf,  pastor  of 
the  Lillington  Methodist  Church,  the  Reverend  J.  Kern  Ormond,  pastor  of  the  Trinity 
Methodist  Church  of  Raleigh,  the  Reverend  Lester  March,  pastor  of  Antioch  Baptist 
Church,  and  the  Reverend  J.  B.  Garrett,  pastor  of  the  Leaflet  Presbyterian  Church.  Burial 
was  in  Mount  Hope  Cemetery  near  Greensboro,  North  Carolina. 

Wherever  he  went  William  Carroll  Shaw  and  his  family  left  a  host  of  friends.  His 
quiet,  peaceful  wisdom  was  a  source  of  guidance  to  many  a  life.  His  friendly  concern 
for  people  left  his  mark  on  many  a  heart.  His  consecrated  Christian  life  led  many  a  soul 
to  Christ  his  Master  and  his  friend.

DURHAM  DISTRICT 
W.  L.  Clegg,  District  Superintendent 

The  Durham  District  comes  to  the  close  of  another  conference  year  with  good  rea- 
sons for  a  spirit  of  gratitude.  Our  Heavenly  Father  has  blessed  the  work  of  the  pastors 
and  laymen  of  the  district.  There  are  a  number  of  areas  in  which  there  has  been  good 
growth  and  progress.  Our  pastors  and  laymen  have  been  faithful  and  dihgent.  We  do 
recognize  with  deep  humility  that  our  district  has  not  approached  its  potential,  and  we 
are  challenged  with  the  thought  that  with  yet  more  consecrated  enthusiasm  God  could 
do  many  wonderful  things  for  us  and  through  us. 

We  are  happy  to  report  one  of  the  best  years  we  have  had  recently  in  the  field  of 
membership  and  evangehsm.  We  have  nearly  1,300  additions  to  the  church,  about  half 
of  them  on  profession  of  faith  and  half  by  transfer.  Not  only  has  there  been  an  increase 
in  the  number  received,  but  also,  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  members  removed.  There 
is  evident  an  increased  concern  on  the  part  of  our  churches  to  reclaim  disinterested 
and  inactive  ntembers. 

The  district  superintendent  would  like  to  express  his  thanks  for  the  fine  contribution 
and  the  increased  interest  among  the  laymen  of  the  district.  Under  the  leadership  of 
our  district  lay  leader  and  the  associate  lay  leaders  significant  progress  has  been  made 
in  this  area.  We  have  more  laymen  participating  in  the  No  Silent  Pulpit  program  than 
before,  and  larger  numbers  attending  our  retreats  and  district-wide  meetings.  Our  attend- 
ance at  the  annual  laymen's  meeting  exceeded  any  in  the  history  of  the  district. 

The  women  continue  to  render  outstanding  service  through  the  Woman's  Society  oi 
Christian  Service.  There  are  no  unorganized  churches  in  the  district. 

Church  school  enrollment  and  attendance  shows  a  steady  but  not  sensational  growth 
Several  churches  in  the  district  report  substantial  gains.  Christian  Workers'  Schools  ir 
the  district  have  strengthened  and  undergirded  the  work  of  our  local  church  schools. 

Notable  achievement  has  been  made  in  the  matter  of  church  and  parsonage  prop 
perty.  Bethany  Church,  Durham,  has  retired  its  debt,  and  the  church  has  been  dedicated 
Carr,  Durham,  has  paid  its  debt  and  is  ready  for  dedication.  Educational  buildings  hav( 
been  dedicated  at  Helena,  Brookland,  and  Long  Memorial,  Roxboro.  A  new  educationa 
building  has  been  erected  at  McMannens.  New  educational  buildings  are  under  con 
struction  at  Asbury,  Durham,  and  Creedmoor.  Improvement  has  been  made  on  the  re 
cently  acquired  property  at  Aldersgate,  and  the  former  dance  haU  has  been  convertec 
into  an  attractive  place  of  worship.  New  parsonages  have  been  occupied  at  Allensville 
Trinity;  Carrboro;  Calvary,  Durham;  Orange;  and  Oxford.  A  new  parsonage  is  unde 
construction  at  Bahama,  and  the  parsonage  at  Eno  has  been  paid  for  and  dedicated. 

The  recently  organized  churches  in  the  district  report  substantial  growth.  We  belieM 
that  these  are  now  on  a  solid  and  sound  basis. 

For  these,  and  all  the  other  blessings  which  God  has  bestowed  upon  us,  we  ar 
thankful.

ELIZABETH  CITY  DISTRICT 
M.  O.  Fletclier,  Acting  District  Superintendent 

It  is  with  deep  regret  that  C.  Freeman  Heath,  superintendent  of  the  Ehzabeth  City 
district,  was  unable  personally  to  supervise  the  making  ot  tliis  report.  But  with  the  edi- 
ient  assistance  ot  his  devoted  wite,  a  carelul  tabulation  ot  tiie  pastors'  reports  shows 
lat  much  progress  has  been  made  and  that  the  pastors  have  been  dUigent,  loyal,  co- 
perative,  and  taithful  to  their  tasks. 

;  Last  year  the  district  made  an  enviable  record  in  evangehsm;  but,  comparing  that 
3Cord  with  the  one  this  year,  we  find  forty-seven  more  revivals  were  held,  one  hundred 
nd  twenty-eight  more  received  on  protession  of  faith,  one  hundred  twenty-one  more  by 
anster,  or  a  total  of  eight  hundred  twelve  added  to  the  church  rolls  this  year.  The 
bsses  in  membership  totaled  seven  hundred  thirty-nine.  Two  hundred  sixty-nine  of  these 
i)sses  were  removed  by  action  of  Quarterly  Conferences,  because  the  rolls  were  still 
arrying  the  names  of  deceased  persons  and  were  reporting  certain  numbers  without 
ames  to  correspond.  In  spite  of  this  unusual  number  dropped  because  of  incorrect  book- 
eepmg,  the  district  stiil  shows  a  net  gain  of  seventy-three  in  memberslup. 

it  is  the  opinion  of  this  writer  that  the  secret  of  a  pastor's  success  hes  in  the  quality 
ad  quantity  ot  his  pastoral  visitation.  The  people  want  their  pastor  to  share  their  sor- 
)ws  and  their  successes.  They  want  to  know  hmi  well  enough  to  rely  upon  his  counsel 
ad  to  beheve  he  is  able  and  competent  to  help  them  in  solving  their  spiritual  problems. 

Surely  much  good  has  been  accomplished  in  this  district  for  the  Kingdom  ot  Cod  by 
velve  thousand  eight  hundred  twenty-tour  home  visits,  four  thousand  two  hundred  fitty- 
ght  sick  calls,  and  six  thousand  eight  hundred  sixty-eight  visits  interviewing  prospects, 
total  of  twenty-three  thousand  nine  hundred  fifty  pastoral  visits  during  tlie  year. 

The  askings  for  World  Service  in  this  district  for  1956-57  amounted  to  $yU,344  and 
*e  charges  accepted  $77,851,  only  $2,493  short  of  the  goal.  In  view  of  the  hurricane 
amages  sustained  in  this  area,  these  figures  portray  a  marvelous  record  for  the  cause 
.'  World  Service. 

Under  the  capable  leadership  of  their  district  president,  Mrs.  Norwood  L.  Mixon, 
le  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service,  and  under  that  of  Mrs.  Lane,  district  secretary 
.  the  Wesleyan  Service  Guild,  the  women  of  the  district  have  rendered  valuable  aid 
',  the  extension  of  God's  kingdom.  The  W.S.C.S.  is  now  one  hundred  per  cent  organized 
;  the  Ehzabeth  City  District. 

;  The  minimum  pastors'  salaries  for  1955-56  were  set  at  $117,650  and  $118,500  was 
did.  For  1956-57  the  minimum  salaries  are  being  increased  $5,607  over  the  amount 
Hid  this  year,  and  will  total  $124,107. 

Three  new  parsonages,  Fhst  Methodist  in  Ehzabeth  City,  Union,  and  Newland,  have 
<jen  completed  at  a  cost  of  $57,322.  $7,568  have  been  spent  on  improvement  of  par- 
pages,  and  $19,621  have  been  spent  on  improving  educational  buildings.  Also,  three 
[w  educational  buildings  have  been  dedicated  this  year,  Hatteras,  Manteo,  and  Cres- 
ell.  One  parsonage,  Hatteras,  was  dedicated.  The  first  unit  of  the  Ahoskie  educational 
ant  has  been  completed,  and  the  members  have  raised  more  than  $56,000  this  year  for 
is  project.  First  Church,  Washington,  under  the  leadership  of  N.  W.  Grant,  has  raised 
•0,000.  It  is  now  instaUing  a  new  organ,  and  is  planning  other  improvements. 

Twenty-three  charges  co-operated  in  making  contributions  to  the  Alaska  College 
md. 

'  The  church  school  enrollment  increased  from  9,835  last  year  to  10,595  this  year, 
le  charges  as  a  whole  supported  the  evangehstic  program  through  the  church  schools. 
:  Lay  activities,  through  the  leadership  of  Fred  W.  Hitter,  district  lay  leader,  and 
3  assistants  gave  cause  for  great  rejoicing.  While  one  Methodist  Men's  Club  ceased  to 
nction,  two  new  clubs  were  organized,  and  404  men  are  now  enrolled.  Excellent  re- 
onse  was  given  the  "No  Silent  Pulpit"  program,  and  the  attendance  at  the  District  Lay- 
3ns  Mass  Meeting  in  Ehzabeth  City  reached  the  total  of  five  hundred  thirteen,  the 
-rgest  on  record  in  this  area. 

The  new  Grace  Church,  Ehzabeth  City,  J.  R.  Couchman,  pastor,  has  been  approved 
f  the  Ten  Dollar  Club  Aid,  and  the  building  will  get  under  way  in  the  very  near  future. 
I  Brother  Heath  has  asked  me  to  give  this  personal  message: 

I  I  wish  to  express  my  deep  appreciation  to  Dr.  M.  O.  Fletcher  for  taking  over  and 
'mpledng  my  work,  to  O.  Kelly  Ingram  and  his  secretary  for  sending  out  letters  and 
meographing  materials,  and  the  following  ministers  who  helped  Dr.  Fletcher  with 
3  Qiiarterly  Conferences  and  Dedications:  O.  Kelly  Ingram,  D.  J.  Reid,  Key  Taylor, 
in  Crawford,  Sr.,  and  J.  F.  Coble,  Superintendent  of  the  Retirement  Home,  Durham; 
:  d  to  the  laymen  and  laywomen  in  the  district  who  by  their  faithful  and  loyal  co-opera- 
in  have  contributed  to  the  success  of  this  year's  work."

NEW  BERN  DISTRICT 
Hiram  K.  King,  District  Superintendent 

As  one  pastor  wrote,  "It  has  been  difficult  to  stay  even  with  the  storms."  But  despite 
t  te>  destructive  hurricanes  that  battered  our  coast  district,  this  has  nevertheless  been 
( r  best  year  vet.  Tribulation  has  seemed  to  deepen  the  devotion  of  both  our  pastors  and 
lople,  and  they  have  wrought  well  in  the  Vineyard  of  our  Lord.  I  am  grateful  for 
t;^  privilege  of  comradeship  with  them  and  an>  proud  to  give  some  account  of  their 
s'livities. 

\  Evangelism:  Reports  from  the  pastors  as  of  June  1  show  that  687  persons  have  been 
i-eived  on  profession  of  faith,  and  796  by  transfer  and  otherwise,  for  a  total  of  1,473. 
^^mbers  ha\'e  been  received  by  vows  in  every  pastoral  charge.  The  reports  show  a  net 
ifrease  in  church  membership  of  818,  church  schools   1,095,  and  M.Y.F.   groups   158, 

•  th  7  new  M.Y.F. 's  orsanized.  Three  hundred  eleven  infants  have  been  christened, 
^th  a  record  number  of  55  at  one  church — Havelock. 

I  The  Ministry:  We  have  enjoyed  the  fellowship  of  45  active  pastors,  one  associate  and 
tp  assistant  pastors,  and  two  retired  ministers.  Our  district  conference,  with  an  attend- 
fpe  of  over  400,  renewed  the  hcenses  of  ten  local  preachers,  recommended  four  supply 
istors,  and  granted  hcense  to  preach  to  six  new  candidates  for  the  ministry.

during  the  six  weeks  prior  to  Easter.  Our  list  of  certified  lay  speakers  numbers  158.  > 
Men  from  over  the  district  filled  the  largest  hall  available  in  New  Bern  for  our  Annual  i; 
Laymen's  Rally  in  February,  with  Bishop  Garber  and  Dr.  Harry  Denman  as  the  speakers,  -i 
Our  pastors  and  laymen  are  still  talking  of  the  remarkable  inspiration  of  this  occasion,  ij 
In  all  of  our  lay  activities  we  have  been  ably  led  again  by  District  Lay  Leader  Sam  i| 
B.  Underwood,  Jr.,  and  his  four  Associates,  C.  Byrd  Wade,  Hugh  Ragsdale,  James  E.  !]

Church  Extension:  Early  this  year  we  organized  two  new  churches,  St.  John  in  Kin-  i; 
ston  and  Cherry  Point  in  Havelock.  Each  now  numbers  some  60  members  with  church  I 
school  attendance  between  80  and  100.  Also,  the  charter  service  for  a  new  congregation  ij 
at  Stacy  was  held  on  May  20.  Both  Atlantic  and  Swansboro  will  become  stations  this  i 
year,  resulting  in  new  charges  to  be  known  as  the  Sealevel  Circuit,  Queens-Oak  Grove, 
and  Midway-Bethlehem.  Thanks  to  the  generous  help  of  laymen  and  women  of  the  dis- 
trcit,  our  church  on  Portsmouth  Island  has  been  repaired,  and  an  assistant  pastor  em- 
ploved  for  the  Atlantic  Circuit,  whose  ministry  has  included  regular  services  every  month  ' 
at  Portsmouth.  Surveys  have  been  made  for  new  churches  at  Greenville  and  Jacksonville.  .

RALEIGH  DISTRICT  ( 

R.  Grady  Dawson,  District  Superintendent  I 

The  achievements  of  the  Raleigh  District  this  year  and  the  brief  report  given  below  • 
have  been  made  possible  by  the  blessings  of  our  Heavenly  Father  and  the  hard  work,  >i 
co-operation  and  liberality  of  the  faithful  pastors  and  lay  people  of  the  district.  To  them  I 
I  gladlv  ^i^"e  the  credit  and  my  sincere  thanks.  A  few  achievements  are  listed  below:        \ 

}femhcrshiv  and  Evangdism:  We  have  sought  to  keep  Evangelism  at  the  center  of  i 
all  of  our  work  this  year,  promoting  it  through  revival  meetings,  home  visitation,  church 
school  teaching,  preparatorv  classes,  workshops,  institutes,  training  schools,  and  Christian  j 
Witness  Missions.  As  a  result,  1,648  new  members  have  been  received  into  the  church —  i 
641  on  profes'Jion  of  faith — with  a  net  ffain  in  membership  of  500.  I

the  district  has  given  $42,891  to  our  church  colleges. 

Missions  and  Church  Extension:  Significant  work  has  been  done  in  the  area  of 
missions.  Through  instruction  in  sub-district  workshops  many  more  of  the  local  church 
commissions  on  missions  have  been  organized  and  become  active.  The  W.S.C.S.  has 
done  an  excellent  job  in  the  district  this  year.  In  addition  to  our  regular  budget  giving 
•:o  World  Service  of  $38,603,  the  churches  have  given  to  Advance  Specials  ( general  and 
Conference)  and  to  other  specials  the  sum  of  $28,717.  Through  the  Ten  Dollar  Chib

arj^er  opportunities. 

ROCKY  MOUNT  DISTRICT 
J.  Furman  Herbert,  District  Superintendent 

,  As  I  write  this  report  on  the  morning  of  June  8,  1956,  there  are  thirtv-three  churches 
;n  Rockv  Mount  District  that  have  not  received  a  new  member  on  Profession  of  Faith 
luring  the  conference  year.  In  our  district  we  call  these  barren  churches.  This  record 
,s  not  prideful.  Its  shame  is  not  because  we  have  the  largest  number  of  barren  churches, 
lowever.  On  the  contrary,  it  is  quite  possible  that  other  districts  have  nwre.  Nor  is  it  to 
>e  regretted  because  our  men  are  not  working.  On  the  contrary.  I  am  receiving  reports 
■ach  week  that  more  barren  churches  have  become  fruitful,  and  I  am  of  the  faith  that 
•f  these  thirtv-three  barren  churches  not  more  than  ten  will  be  barren  bv  conference 
ime.  But  what  of  the  ten?  We  will  not  let  this  happen  again.  I  verily  believe  we  will 
lot  close  th*^  next  conference  vear  with  a  single  barren  church  where  there  is  regular 
)reaching.  Why  should  we?  What  is  our  mission? 

Last  minute  reports  show  that  600  have  joined  our  churches  during  the  year  by 
Vnfession  of  Fsith.  To  this  add  554  who  have  conT^  in  bv  certificate,  making  a  total  of 
^^.154.  Our  goal  for  the  conference  year  is  1.250.  We  will  attain  it  by  conference  time. 
The  goal  is  too  low,  though.  Next  vear  we  will  set  our  goal  at  2,000  and  reach  it. 
'  Four  new  charges  are  presented  for  the  new  conference  year.  This  means  genuine 
)rogress.  Elm  Citv  will  become  a  station.  Homes  and  Mt.  Zion  will  become  a  two-point 
rork.  Pinetons  circuit  is  being  divided.  PiTi'=tons  and  Conetoe  becoming  a  strong  two- 
i)oint  work,  with  Temnerance  H^ll  and  McKendree  forming  a  new  charcre  wit-h  a  student 
)astor.^  Littleton  and  Littleton-Tabor  circuits  are  co-onerating  in  forming  three  charges 
f  their  pight  churches-  Littleton,  Cnlvarv,  and  Hawkins-Tabor  Charges.  Roanoke  cir- 
nit  w'll  div'de.  Smith  Church  bravelv  b'^coming  a  country  station,  Soxith  Rosemarv  and 
)^6w  Hope  forming  a  charge  alone.  T  find  this  setting  ud  of  new  charges  the  most  re- 
vard'ng  work  of  the  superintendencv.  Where  four  pastors  have  served  there  will  now 
>e  eight  serving  the  same  people.  We  will  watch  the  charges  grow  strong. 


120  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

Our  women's  work  is  in  splendid  condition.  Capable  leadership  is  bringing  fine  re- 
sults. Our  WSCS  takes  a  high  place  in  the  conference  life.  They  win  more  than  their 
share  of  recognition  and  awards. 

Methodist  Men  are  going  forward.  The  district  quota  of  organized  groups  has  been 
reached  and  passed.  Seven  hundred  men  met  at  First  Church,  Rocky  Mount,  in  Febru- 
ary for  the  annual  Men's  Mass  Meeting  and  Banquet.  Much  praise  has  been  heard  of 
the  wonderful  spirit  there,  and  of  the  addresses  of  our  beloved  Bishop  and  Dr.  Harry 
Denman. 

We  are  building  churches,  too,  and  educational  buildings,  and  parsonages,  and  we 
are  paying  building  debts:  the  marvelous  new  building  at  First  Church,  Wilson,  new 
buildings  and  improvements  at  Aulander,  Pinetops,  Gaston,  Elm  City,  Garysburg,  Engle- 
wood,  Conway,  Clark  Street,  Jamesville,  Spring  Hope,  Stanhope,  Hart  Church  in  Tar- 
boro,  Winstead  in  Wilson,  and  others.  Great  new  structures  are  planned  in  the  immedi- 
ate future  at  Rocky  Mount  First  and  Weldon.  Significant  debts  have  been  paid  at  Wil- 
liamston  and  Rosemary. 

Consecrated  ministers  and  devoted  laymen  in  the  Rocky  Mount  District  have  labored 
well.  We  are  grateful  to  God  for  them  all. 

WILMINGTON  DISTRICT 

Vergil  E.  Queen,  District  Superintendent 

The  Wilmington  District  of  the  N.  C.  Annual  Conference  is  composed  of  42  pastoral 
charges  embracing  80  local  churches,  all  situated  in  the  six  counties  of  the  lower  Cape 
Fear  country  in  southeastern  North  Carolina. 

This  reporter  is  deeply  grateful  for  the  privilege  of  directing  the  program  of  Method- 
ism in  this  wonderful  area  of  opportunity  and  need.  It  is  fitting,  therefore,  that  I  here 
thank  the  pastors  and  laymen  of  the  Wilmington  District  for  their  fine  work  making  pos- 
sible this  report,  and  that  all  of  us  give  thanks  to  our  heavenly  Father  for  His  guiding 
Providences  which  have  sustained  and  kept  us  along  the  way. 

The  best  clue  to  an  evaluation  of  the  achievements  wrought  in  the  Wilmington 
District  this  year  will  be  found  in  certain  intangible,  though  none  the  less  obvious 
evidences,  which  have  always  characterized  our  efforts.  These  are:  (1)  we  have 
stressed  excellence  as  the  only  acceptable  and  valid  hallmark  of  our  work;  (2)  we  have 
sought  diligently  to  encourage,  inspire,  and  motivate  the  pastors  and  laymen  in  the 
small  and  difficult  places;  and  (3)  we  have  constantly  sought  to  elevate  and  glorifv  our 
historic  Methodism  by  keeping  our  pastors  and  laymen  close  to  its  doctrines,  disciplines, 
and  traditions.  These  ends  are  our  finest  hopes;  they  have  received  our  best  efforts. 

Specific  areas  of  our  work  deserving  special  attention  here  are:  (1)  Membership  and 
Evangelism;  (2)  Christian  Education;  (3)  Missions  and  Church  Extension;  (4)  Steward-

Quadrennial  Board  and  Commission  Reports 


DEACONESS  BOARD 

Through  the  Office  of  Deaconess  an  official  relationship  to  the  Church  is  established 
or  the  woman  who  is  called  to  a  vocation  within  the  Church.  This  relationship  is  to  the 
Church  at  large.  The  vocation  of  a  Deaconess  is  a  special  dedication  to  full-time  Christian 
,er\'ice  under  the  direction  of  the  Church.  The  consecration  of  the  Deaconess  is  to  the 
^ord  who  has  called  her  to  discipleship — that  she  may  find  the  Source  of  power;  that 
Ilhrist  may  be  made  known  through  her  life  and  service;  that  others  may  be  enabled 
hrough  her  ministry  to  walk  in  the  ways  of  life  with  power  through  Jesus-Christ. 
;  Our  Church  is  deeply  concerned  with  recruitment  of  young  people  for  full-time 
ii;hristian  service.  The  needs  are  continuallv  being  lifted  up  by  the  various  agencies 
if  the  Churrh.  The  Woman's  Division  of  Christian  Service  of  the  Board  of  Missions 
'leeds  more  than  300  replacements  annually  in  its  projects  in  the  Home  Field,  employing 
,300  persons.  The  Board  of  Hospitals  and  Homes  need  3,000  replacements.  Approxi- 
aatelv  900  Churches  have  full-time  directors  of  Christian  education  and  we  are  informed 
hat  the  Board  of  Education  expects  to  need  at  least  600  additional  direr-tors  durine  this 
luadrennium.  During  th's  session  of  the  Annual  Conference  you  will  hear  from  the 
enres^ntatives  of  various  Boards  of  the  urgent  need  for  workers  within  the  bounds  of 
he  \orth  Carolina  Conference. 

During  the  past  year  we  have  had  only  three  deaconesses  at  work  in  the  North 
'arolina  Conference:  Mamie  J.  Chandler,  Director  of  the  Methodist  Student  Center, 
jireenville;  Ethekvnde  Ballance,  rural  worker,  Roberdell  Charge;  Alta  Nye,  rural  worker, 
liltnn  Charge.  Other  deaconesses  residing  within  the  bounds  of  the  Conference:  Sara 
IcCracken,  on  leave,  Durham;  Jennie  Congleton,  retired,  Greenville;  Elizabeth  R.  Davis, 
?tired,  Rocky  Mount. 

Special  emphasis  has  been  given  to  recruitment  of  young  women  for  the  office  of 
)eaconess  during  the  year,  and  this  special  opportunity  for  service  in  the  Church  was 
resented  by  our  deaconesses  at  the  First  Student  Vocational  Conference,  at  Chapel 
[ill  in  February,  and  at  the  Senior  Youth  Assemblies  this  summer  at  Louisburg;  One  of 
lur  deaconesses  attended  the  Regional  Methodist  Student  Movement  Conference  and 
brved  on  the  program;  Conferences  were  held  with  young  women  interested  in  full-time 
Christian  services  at  these  assemblies  and  conferences.  Information  concerning  Deaconess 
f/ork  has  been  given  through  the  North  Carolina  Advocate.  Special  emphasis  has  been 
liven  to  student  groups  and  through  the  program  of  the  Student  Center  at  East  Carolina 
'ollege,  and  in  meetings  of  the  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service  in  the  local 
lurches  wherever  opportunity  has  been  given.  Our  deaconesses  have  cooperated  with 
tte  Secretary  of  Missionary  Personnel  of  the  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service  of 
he  Conference,  in  keeping  before  our  youth  the  need  and  the  challenge  to  full-time 
'hristian  service. 

I  Charlotte  Whitfield,  of  Garland,  received  the  Master's  Degree  in  Religious  Education 
■om  Scarritt  College,  in  June,  and  will  begin  her  service  as  Director  of  Christian 
'.ducation  at  Siler  Citv  in  September.  She  is  an  approved  candidate  and  will  be  presented 
>r  consecration  as  a  Deaconess  after  one  year  of  service.  Hazel  Burke,  LaGrange,  and 
uene  Civils,  Kinston,  are  continuing  their  study  at  Scarritt  College.  Willa  Dean 
^ndsay,  Clinton,  has  completed  one  year  of  service  as  a  US-2,  and  expects  to  continue 

her  present  work  for  another  year. 

As  we  look  back  over  the  work  of  the  past  year,  we  recognize  how  small  has  been 
ir  service  in  the  face  of  the  urgent  needs  within  our  Conference  and  in  the  Church. 
/e  have  faith  that  our  youth  today  will  respond  if  we  who  are  leaders  will  present  to 
)em  the  high  calling  of  our  Church  to  service.  We  know  that  the  Deaconess  is  well 
tialified  through  dedication  and  training  to  answer  the  call.  Therefore,  your  Deaconess 
sard  recommends: 

I  That  all  available  resources  be  utilized  to  encourage  able  young  women  to  serve  the 
hurch  as  Deaconesses. 


122  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

That  Deaconess  Work  be  presented,  with  time  for  discussion,  through  every  relevant 
channel — District  Conferences,  Youth  assemblies  and  conferences,  meetings  of  the 
Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service,  and  to  groups  in  the  local  churches. 

Your  Deaconess  Board  stands  ready  to  cooperate  with  all  Boards  and  agencies  of  the 
Conference  to  carry  out  these  recommendations. 

May  I  close  this  report  in  the  words  of  one  of  the  speakers  at  the  Second  Deaconess 
Convocation,  held  in  Nashville  last  year: 

The  vocation  of  a  deaconess  is  not  basically  social  service,  but  spiritual  dedication.  A 
Deaconess  should  fulfill  her  task  by  voluntary  and  vicarious  sacrifice.  The  law  of  Christ 
constrains  her  heart,  and  her  concern  for  needy  lives  makes  her  identifv  herself  with 
ihem  in  their  needs,  doing  for  them,  praying  for  them,  what  they  themselves  cannot  do 
or  pray,  until  they  find  the  same  Source  of  power  in  Crucified  Love. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Mamiej  Chandler,  Chairman,  Deaconess  Board

Section  A 
GENERAL   CHURCH    SCHOOL   WORK 

The  two  primary  emphases  of  the  Local  Church  Division  of  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion during  1955-56  were  evangelism  and  leadership  trainine.  To  implement  the  em- 
phasis on  evangehsm  the  Board  proiected  the  program,  "Evangelism  Through  the 
Church  School,"  a  two-pronged  evanerelistic  offensive.  In  the  fall  there  was  a  campaign 
to  increase  church  school  membership  and  attendance,  while  from  January  throueh 
Easter  the  emphasis  was  on  winning  church  school  members  to  Christ  and  church 
membership. 

To  implement  the  emphasis  on  leadershio  education  the  Board  laid  stress  upon 
Snbdistrict  Christian  Workers'  Schools,  Subdistrict  Institutes  for  Church  School 
Workers,  District  Vacation  Church  School  Institutes,  encouraged  attendance  at  the 
Cor>ference  Laboratory  School  for  Children's  Workers,  and  at  the  Leadership  and 
Laboratory  Schools  at  Lake  Junaluska  while  urging  teachers  to  participate  in  in- 
formal training  opportunities   in   local   churches. 

As  a  snecial  service  to  the  small  rural  charore,  one-teacher  schools  were  developed 
featuring  the  course,  "The  Educational  Work  of  the  Small  Church."  Teacher  honoraria  for 
this  course  were  paid  bv  the  Conference  Board  of  Education. 

The  Board  also  promoted  the  nropcr  observance  of  the  following  special  days: 
Church  School  Rally  Day,  Race  Relations  Sunday,  and  Methodist  Student  Day. 

Statement  of  Progress  in  Past  Quodrennium 

The  past  four  years  have  been  marked  by  progress  in  a  number  of  areas: 

1.  An  increase  in  church  school  membership  and  attendance. 

2.  The  development  of  a  much  more  adequate  leadership  training  program. 

3.  Christian  education  staffs  were  set  up  in  each  district  and  activated. 

4.  A  full  conference  staff  has  been  secured.  j 

5.  The  number  of  local  churches  employing  Directors  of  Christian  Education  has  I

Plans  for  the  Future 

1.  Emphases  for  the  new  quadrennium: 

a.  Strengthening,    extending,   improving   Christian   education   in   the   local   church. 

b.  Strengthening,  expanding,  improving  Christian  Higher  Education. 

2.  Program  for  1956-57 

a.  Improve  local  church  program  of  Christian  education: 

(1)  Take  inventory,  survey  program;  make  self-evaluation  in  each  local  church 

(2)  Areas  to  be  surveyed;  local  church  organized  for  Christian  education;  providing 
trained  leadership;  guidance  in  the  use  of  literature  and  other  resources;  building  and 
equipment;  church  music  and  worship;  providing  extra  time  for  Christian  education; 
membership  and  attendance;  proper  observance  of  special  days;  classes  in  church 
membership   conducted  by  the  pastor. 

(■3)  After  the  local  church  has  made  its  survey  it  should  decide  on  the  "next  steps" 
for  improving  the  program. 

(4)  The  pastor  of  the  local  church  and/or  the  Commission  on  Education  should 
feel  free  to  call  on  the  Conference  Board  of  Education  staff  for  help  as  needed. 

b.  Strengthen  program  of  leadership  training: 

(1)  Subdistrict  Christian  Workers'  School  in  each  subdistrict  area  (Conference 
Board  of  Education  will  continue  to  pay  one-half  of  teacher  honoraria) 

(2)  Special  service  to  small  churches — one-teacher  schools  (full  honoraria  paid 
b>   Conference  Board  of  Education). 

(3)  Conduct  subdistrict,  district  and  conference-wide  institutes,  workshops,  con- 
ferences, seminars,  etc.,  in  specialized  fields  of  training. 

(4)  Encourage  attendance  at  Jurisdictional  schools,  workshops,  conferences,  etc. 

(5)  Encourage  local  churches  to  provide  formal  and  informal  training  opportuni- 
ties for  their  workers. 

(6)  Emphasize  the  observance  of  Church  School  Rally  Day  and  the  offering 
ihat  finances  this  program  of  leadership  training. 

3.  Directors  of  Christian  Education 

There  is  an  acute  shortage  of  trained  persons  for  the  work  of  Christian  Education 
in  the  Methodist  Chinch.  The  church  especially  needs  local  church  directors  of 
(Christian  education.  We  call  the  attention  of  the  churches  to  the  "100  Proiect"  by 
wh'ch  a  local  church  mav  provide  scholarships  for  graduate  decrees  in  Christian  edu- 
j  cation  to  train  more  local  chvuch  directors  of  Christian  education.  In  providing  these 
^cholprships  the  churches  are  participating  in  the  program  of  Conference  Advance 
Specials. 

4.  Christian  Family  Life 

We  recommend  that  the  New  Board  of  Education  set  up  a  Christian  Family  Life 
Committee  to  plan  and  exnedite  a  conference  Fam^lv  Life  Proeram,  to  be  composed  of 
the  staff  of  the  Board  of  Education,  three  interested  laymen  and  three  clerical  members. 

5.  Conference  Youth  Camps 

We  direct  the  conference's  attention  to  the  fact  that  our  present  camping  facilities 
are  not  adequate  to  take  care  of  our  camning  needs.  We  must  foresee  the  fact  th^t  we 
eventually  need  to  develop  three  or  perhaps  four  camps  for  our  conference.  There- 
fore, we  recommend  that  the  conference  authorize  the  Board  of  Education  to  secure 
a  second  vouth  camp  site  for  our  conference  and  de\elop  it  as  soon  as  funds  be- 
come available. 

The  Conference  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance  has  been  asked  to  change 
the  present  conference  budgetary  fund  for  "Camn  Don-Lee"  to  "Conf°rencp  Youth 
Camns"  to  be  administered  bv  the  Conference  Board  of  Education,  with  the  understand- 
ing that  funds  need'^d  to  complete  the  building  program  at  Camp  Don-Lee  will  be 
jprovided  from' this  fund. 

'  We  recommend  that  the  new  Conference  Board  of  Education  set  up  a  committee  on 
'camping  to  give  general  oversight  to  our  camping  program,  the  devlooment  of  a  pew 
fcamp-site,  and  the  supervision  of  the  conference  Youth  Camo  Fund.  It  is  snggestcl  that 
th's  r-ommittee  may  include  some  persons  who  ^re  not  members  of  the  Conference  Board 
^f  Education.  The  committee  shall  be  responsible  to  the  Conference  Board  of  Education. 


124  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

6.  Special  Days 

We  recommend  the  observance  of  the  following  special  days  by  each  church  in  the 
conference  with  appropriate  programs  and  generous  offerings  as  recommended  by  the 
General  Conference: 

a.  Church  School  Rally  Day,  September  16,  1956,  with  special  offering  for  Con- 
ference Board  of  Education    (Leadership  Training) 

b.  Christian  Education  Week,  September  30-October  7  (No  offering) 

c.  Student  Recognition  Day,  December  30,  1957  (No  offering) 

d.  Race  Relations  Sunday,  February  10,  1957  ( Offering  for  Paine  College,  Augusta,

f.  National  Family  Week,  May  5-12,  1957  (No  offering) 

g.  Methodist  Student  Day,  June  9,  1957  (Offering  for  National  Methodist  Student 
Loan  and  Scholarship  Fund) 

7.  We  commend  the  Conference  Radio  and  Film  Commission  for  setting  up  an 
audio-visual  film-strip  library  for  our  conference.  We  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
film-strips  listed  in  "Forecast,"  recommended  for  use  with  our  church  school  units  of 
study,  may  be  secured  from  this  office  for  a  very  small  rental  fee. 

Our  Executive  Secretary 

We  congratulate  Dr.  C.  P.  Morris,  our  Executive  Secretary,  on  leading  us  in  a 
quadrennium  of  achievement  in  Christian  education  in  our  conference  and  recommend 
his  reappointment  to  this  position. 

O.  Kelly  iNCRA^r,  Chairman 

Section  B 
CHILDREN'S  WORK 

There  are  several  special  emphases  which  we  would  like  to  stress  during  the  year 
1956-1957.  We  therefore,  recommend: 

1.  That  we  shall  endeavor  to  experience  a  oneness  of  purpose  and  a  sense  of  to- 
getherness in  all  our  church  activities.  It  is  our  hope  that  the  work  with  children  shall  be 
considered  a  vital  and  integral  part  of  the  task  of  the  whole  church  and  vitally  related 
to  its  essential  program.  It  is  important  to  keep  the  family  together  in  our  church 
activities.  Family  camping  has  been  planned  for  the  summer  and  a  Family  Life  Workshop 
has  also  been  planned. 

2.  That  we  shall  encourage  officers  and  teachers  in  local  churches  to  evaluate  their 
needs,  resources,  and  objectives  and  to  call  on  the  district  and  conference  staffs  for  help 
when  they  can  assist. 

3.  That  the  district  directors  enlist  the  aid  of  subdistrict  leaders  and  organizations 
to  take  the  resources  of  Christian  education  closer  to  the  local  church. 

4.  That  Methodist  hterature  be  explained  to  officers  and  teachers  and  its  uses  be 
outlined,  with  special  reference  to  family  helps  included  in  the  church  school  publications 
and  auxiliary  audio-visual  aids  provided  by  our  conference. 

5.  That  we  continue  our  present  practice  of  having  fall  promotions  until  such  time 
that  the  General  Board  of  Education  rewrites  the  literature  to  facilitate  a  change  to 
another  date. 

6.  That  book  lists  pertinent  to  work  with  children  and  to  personal  enrichment  of 
the  spiritual  life  of  children's  workers  be  provided  for  the  use  of  those  concerned  with 
teaching  children.  We  also  recommend  that  church  libraries  be  developed  and  expanded. 

7.  That  day-camping  be  promoted  by  local  churches. 

8.  That  week-day  nursery  and  kindergarten  programs  be  developed  in  our  local 
churches  and  that  our  conference  staff  provide  some  training  for  leaders  in  this  field. 

9.  That  demonstrations  on  planning  a  unit  of  lesson  materials  be  given  for  all  four 
departments  in  the  children's  division  at  the  fall  subdistrict  institutes. 

10.  That  Daily  Vacation  Church  School  Institutes  be  held  the  first  two  weeks  in 
March,  1957. 

11.  That  we  commend  very  highly  Miss  Ehzabeth  Johnson  who  has  served  so  ably 
as  our  conference  director  of  children's  work  since  1953.  We  wish  to  express  our  sincere 
regret  that  she  has  resigned  this  position  with  our  conference  and  will  not  be  with  us 
in  that  capacity  for  another  year.

Section  C 
YOUTH  WORK 

1.  Adult  Workers  With  Youth 

Training  adult  workers  is  increasingly  recognized  as  one  of  the  most  fruitful  uses  of 
time  ana  energy  in  raismg  the  level  ot  youth  work  in  tfie  annual  conterence.  We  believe 
time  invested  with  adult  workers  will  aclaieve  nrore  in  strengthening  the  program  of  youth 
work  tlian  at  any  other  point.  To  this  purpose  we  reconmiend: 

a.  That  two-day  or  three-day  workshops  for  "adult  workers  with  youth"  be  held  on 
a  district  basis  in  the  quadrenmum. 

b.  That  a  conference-wide  workshop  be  held  in  the  quadrennium. 

c.  That  the  subdistrict  MYF  otter  training  for  adults  and  youth  as  a  part  of  its 
yearly  program. 

d.  Ihat  Workers  Conferences  be  encouraged  to  consider  as  a  part  of  their  oppor- 
tunity the  traimng  of  adult  workers. 

e.  Ihat  training  tor  adult  workers  be  offered  in  some  measiure  at  Senior  Youth 
Assembhes  and  Mlt  Annual  Conterence  Session. 

f.  We  commend  as  one  ot  the  very  first  training  programs  the  Christian  Workers' 
School. 

g.  That  the  1957  District  Christian  Education  Institutes  feature  the  training  of  adult 
workers.  ^i 

h.  That  a  fellowship  of  adult  workers  with  youth  be  formed  by  bringing  together 
workers  trom  a  number  of  churches  in  a  given  area. 

i.  That  an  effort  be  maue  to  secure  more  certified  instructors  for  courses  in  the 
Youth  Department  tor  leadership  in  Christian  Workers'  Schools. 

j.  That  all  training  experiences  for  adult  workers  with  youth  concern  themselves 
with  problems  of  the  local  chmch  in  so  far  as  possible. 

k.  That  study  and  evaluation  be  given  to  the  question,  "What  kind  of  significant 
training  for  adult  workers  with  youtli  is  possible  in  one  evening?"  This  study  could 
serve  as  a  key  for  the  work  of  conference,  district,  and  subdistrict  personnel.  Also,  it 
would  provide  a  clue  for  local  church  workers'  conferences. 

2.  Christian  Witness  Missions 

We  now  have  more  young  men  and  women  in  our  conference  than  ever  before  in 
history.  We  beheve  there  is  a  readiness  to  challenge  our  youth  to  win  these  young  men 
and  women  to  Christ  and  His  Church.  We  recommend  tliat  a  tri-district  Christian 
Witness  Mission  be  held  as  an  experiment  in  this  direction  in  the  conference  year 
1956-57.  We  recommend  that  proper  representatives  from  the  Conference  Board  of 
Education  and  Conference  Board  of  Evangelism  undertake  this  as  a  joint  venture, 
estabhshing  liaison  with  the  Conference  Board  of  Evangelism  early  in  the  new  conference 
year. 

3.  Prayer  Movement 

We  are  convinced  that  young  men  and  women  can  be  helped  in  the  development  of 
their  spiritual  life  and  experience  a  personal  faith  through  the  discipline  of  prayer.  We 
are  led  to  recommend : 

a.  That  a  prayer  movement  be  developed  among  the  youth  and  their  adult  leaders. 

b.  That  encouragement  be  given  and  help  offered  for  the  formation  of  prayer  cells 
on  local  and  subdistrict  levels. 

c.  That  the  Youth  Department  of  the  Conference  Board  of  Education  co-ordinate 
the  prayer  fellowships  into  a  permanent  part  of  the  MYF  program. 

d.  That  the  ACS  of  the  MYF  consider  the  setting  of  a  prayer  day  in  which  local 
fellowships  and  their  adult  leaders  would  spend  time  as  individuals  or  groups  at  the 
church  altar  in  prayer. 

4.  Stxhjy 

We  feel  the  need  for  a  climate  of  study  in  our  local  MYF's.  We  feel  that  the  Lenten 

n  Reading  Project  each  year  has  helped  in  this  direction.  We  recommend  that  every  local 
MYF  be  made  aware  of  the  Lenten  Reading  Project  and  be  given  help  in  the  use  of  the 
■'  Lenten  Reading  book.  We  commend  to  all  new  MYF's  the  past  three  youth  Lenten 
Reading  books,  I  Believe  by  Nevin  Hamer,  I  Belong  by  Hoover  Rupert,  I  Follow  by 
Charles  M.  Layman. 


126  NoBTH  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

5.  Methodist  Youth  Fund 

This  is  a  fund  through  which  uiembers  of  the  MYF  help  in  a  program  of  missions, 
Christian  education,  and  youth  work  around  the  world.  The  MYFund  is  a  vital  part  oi 
the  world  mission  of  the  Church.  We  recommend: 

a.  That  a  Conference  goal  of  $1.00  per  year  per  member  of  the  MYF  be  an  aim  for 
this  fund.  This  would  more  than  double  the  present  giving  to  this  fund. 

b.  That  a  conference-wide  pledge  week  be  set  and  each  MYFer  be  asked  to  make 
a  personal  pledge  to  the  MYFund. 

c.  That  conference  publicity  and  promotion  stress  the  vital  elements  in  this  program, 
namely; 

(1)  Stewardship  of  possessions 

( 2 )  Help  in  world  mission  of  church 

(3)  Act  of  dedication  as  this  offering  is  presented  at  the  altar. 

6.  Christian  Vocations 

That  we  pledge  our  fuU  co-operation  to  the  Conference  Commission  on  Christian 
Vocations  to  conduct  Conference  and  District  Vocations  Conferences. 

7.  Older  Youth 

We  feel  that  our  older  youtli  are  being  neglected.  It  is  here  that  we  have  been 
suffering  our  greatest  loss  in  membership. 

a.  We  recommend  that  each  local  church  give  more  serious  attention  to  ministering 
to  tlie  needs  of  service  men  and  women,  college  students,  and  working  youth  at  home. 

b.  We  recommend  that  young  people  enrolled  in  a  college  attend  The  Wesley 
Foundation  or  Methodist  Student  Fellowship  and  become  active  in  the  Hfe  of  this 
fellowship.  We  urge  local  churches  to  keep  in  touch  with  students  and  help  them  be- 
come active  in  The  Methodist  Student  group  on  the  campus. 

c.  We  ask  each  local  church  to  exert  effort  toward  getting  its  older  young  people 
to  attend  the  Older  Youth  Assembly  at  Camp  Don-Lee. 

d.  We  recommend  that  a  study  be  made  of  Older  Youth  work  in  our  conference. 
Some  questions  we  are  facing  in  this  area  now: 

(1)  Relationship  of  older  youth  (18-23)  and  senior  youth  (15-17)  in  conference 
MYF. 

(2)  Separate  senior  and  older  organization  in  levels  beyond  local  church.  Enlarged 
older  youth  program. 

(3)  Working  older  youth  in  the  local  church.  How  to  strengthen  older  youtli 
groups  and  organize  new  one  in  the  local  church. 

8.  Summer  Youth  Caravans 

We  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  a  National  Youth  Caravan,  consisting  of  four  young 
people  and  one  adult  counselor,  and  a  Divinity  School  Caravan,  consisting  of  two  young 
men,  will  be  working  in  our  conference  during  the  summer  to  improve  and  strengthen 
the  youth  program  in  the  churches  visited. 

We  recommend  that  similar  caravans  be  secured  to  work  in  our  conference  during 
the  summer  of  1957. 

9.  Senior  Summer  Assemblies 

Our  Senior  Summer  Assembhes  are  meeting  a  real  need  in  the  Hves  of  our  senior 
young  men  and  young  women.  Three  assembhes  are  planned  for  this  year  of  1956  in 
June.  We  recommend  that  this  program  be  continued,  enriched,  evaluated.  That  one 
or  more  of  the  assembhes  be  of  the  workshop  type. 

10.  Annual  Conference  Session 

The  MYF  of  the  North  Carohna  Conference  is  unique  in  Methodism  in  its  five-day 
annual  session  held  each  year  on  the  campus  of  Duke  University.  This  is  a  delegated 
assembly  and  this  past  year  three  hundred  and  fifty-three  local  churches  were  repre- 
sented. We  commend  this  week  to  our  Board  and  ask  for  the  Conference  Board  to  help 
study  and  evaluate  the  purposes  of  this  session. 

11.  District  and  Subdistrict  Work 

We  would  emphasize  here  the  proper  perspective  for  District  and  Subdistrict  MYF 
organizations.  Let  it  be  known  that  they  have  as  their  reason  for  existence  the  strengthen- 


Journal  of  Proceedings  127 

ing  of  the  local  MYF's.  In  planning  programs  these  organizations  should  ask,  How  does 
this  help  the  local  young  people  and  their  MYF? 

We  recommend: 

a.  That  each  MYF  Subdistrict  in  the  conference  plan  one  meeting  designed  to  train 
local  MYF  officers  and  adult  leaders. 

b.  That  District  rallies  be  held  in  every  district  under  the  planning  of  the  district 
council. 

c.  That  the  Youth  Department  of  the  Conference  Board  of  Education  provide  guid- 
ance in  training  and  materials  for  Subdistrict  officers  and  adult  workers. 

d.  That  District  Directors  attend  a  special  training  conference  in  their  job  at  Lake 
Junaluska. 

Our  Director  of  Youth  Work 

The  Board  commends  Reverend  Herman  Winberry  for  the  dedicated  and  dynamic 
leadership  he  has  given  our  program  of  youth  work  during  the  last  two  years,  and  recom- 
mend his  reappointment  for  the  conference  year  1956-57.

ADULT  WORK 

1.  Report  for  1955-56 

a.  The  Conference  Director  and  a  number  of  District  Directors  attended  the  Leader- 
ship School  at  Lake  Junaluska.  The  Conference  director  and  a  number  of  young  adults 
attended  the  Regional  Young  Adult  Workshop  at  Lake  Junaluska  where  the  conference 
director  was  one  of  the  leaders  of  the  workshop.  A  planning  conference  was  held  for 
District  directors  to  plan  for  District  and  Subdistrict  work  with  adults. 

b.  Several  subdistrict  young  adult  meetings  were  visited  during  the  year.  Training 
courses  in  the  area  of  Christian  education  of  adults  were  offered  in  most  of  the  Christian 
'Workers'  Training  Schools  in  the  conference.  This  conference  was  second  in  the  nation 
in  number  of  courses  in  adult  work  during  the  past  year.  The  conference  director  partici- 
pated in  many  of  these  schools  and  one  out-of-state  school.  The  Young  Adult  Assembly 
held  at  Camp  Don-Lee,  June  8-10,  was  planned  and  promoted. 

c.  An  assembly  for  "Senior"  adults  was  held  at  Louisburg  College,  May  31-June  3. 
Thirty-nine  persons  were  in  attendance.  It  was  a  very  successful  venture  in  an  area  in 
which  we  look  forward  to  do  a  great  deal  in  the  future.  Miss  Virginia  Stafford  from  the 
General  Board  of  Education,  Dr.  Verne  S.  Caviness,  Raleigh,  N.  C,  Rev.  R.  Grady 
Dawson,  Miss  Virginia  Gregory,  Raleigh,  N.  C,  and  many  other  conference  people 
assisted  in  making  this  a  very  successful  meeting.  Rev.  J.  F.  Coble  served  as  Dean  for 
the  assembly. 

d.  Sixteen  people  from  our  conference  attended  the  Southeastern  Recreation  work- 
shop at  Leesburg,  Florida.  The  conference  director  was  Chairman  of  the  steering  com- 
mittee and  as  such  had  the  major  responsibility  for  this  workshop  which  attracted  one 
hundred  eighty  people  interested  in  the  promotion  of  Christian  recreation  among  our 
people. 

e.  Many  local  churches  were  visited.  We  feel  that  the  cause  of  Christian  education 
among  adults  has  been  furthered  during  the  year. 

f.  The  conference  director  wishes  to  express  his  thanks  to  all  who  have  given  of  their 
time  and  efforts  to  make  the  progress  that  we  have  made.  I  also  wish  to  thank  the  con- 
ference for  having  given  me  the  opportunity  to  serve  in  the  capacity  as  conference 
director  during  the  past  several  years.  It  has  been  a  great  joy  to  serve  our  people.  I 
pledge  my  continued  support  to  the  new  director  and  to  our  great  church  and  wish  him 
^nd  you  success  as  we  move  forward  for  Christ  through  the  Christian  education  of  adults. 

2.  Emphases  for  1956-57 

a.  Secure  subdistrict  directors  for  all  subdistricts. 

b.  Organize  at  least  one  young  adult  subdistrict  fellowship  in  each  district. 

c.  Promote  subdistrict  Bible  Conferences. 

d.  Conduct  Christian  Education  Institutes  on  Local  Church  Emphasis  (following  pro- 
posals formulated  by  the  General  Conference  and  General  Board  of  Education). 

e.  Promote  Family  Life  Education  in  local  churches  and  beyond  the  local  church. 

f.  Recommend  courses  in  adult  work  in  each  Christian  Workers'  Training  School.

CHRISTIAN  FAMILY  LIFE  I 

1.  Report  for  1955-56  i 

Your  Committee  on  Christian  Family  Life  is  encouraged  to  beUeve  that  some  real  i 
progress  has  been  made  in  the  area  ot  P'amily  Life  Education  during  this  year.  Some  of  ' 
the  evidences  ot  tins  are  hsted  below.  j 

a.  The  chairman  and  several  of  the  ministers  and  laymen  from  this  conference  par-  j 
ticipated  in  leadership  and  sharing  in  the  Southeastern  Jurisdiction  Ji'amily  l_,ite  Uon-  I 
ference  at  Lake  Junaluska,  August  25-28. 

b.  Fitly  or  more  ministers  irom  this  conference  participated  in  a  most  successful  ■, 
seminar  on  "Marriage  Counseling"  at  Steele  Street  Methodist  Church,  Sanford,  bep-  | 
tember  6-7,  led  by  Ur.  John  T.  Creene  ot  Boston  University. 

c.  A  number  of  our  Methodist  ministers  attended  and  shared  in  an  outstanding  work-  . 
shop  on  "The  Minister  Exploring  Christian  Marriage"  sponsored  by  the  North  Carolina  '] 
Council  of  Churches  and  held  in  Charlotte,  April  17-18.  ' 

d.  The  chairman  presented  four  television  programs  on  Cliristian  Family  Living  prior  ' 
to  and  during  National  Family  Week,  May  6-13.  These  were  done  over  stations  vViiN,  .' 
Washington,  and  WNCT,  Greenville,  in  co-operation  with  the  North  Carolina  Council  of 
Churches.  These  met  with  outstanding  and  widespread  response.  ^  I 

e.  Quite  a  few  family-centered  courses  have  been  made  a  part  of  our  Christian  j 
Workers'  Schools  throughout  the  Conference.  ; 

f.  An  increasing  number  of  churches  are  giving  attention  to  family-centered  programs  ' 
including  parent  participation,  family  nights,  etc. 

g.  Perhaps  most  of  all  is  the  growing  awareness  of  the  vital  importance  of  education 
and  preparation  for  Christian  Family  Living. 

2.  Recommendations  | 

a.  In  keeping  with  the  studied  recommendations  of  our  District  Directors  of  General  . 
Church  School  work  in  the  Annual  Planning  Session  at  Rocky  Mount  on  May  22  it  is 
recommended  that  a  new  Christian  Family  Life  Committee  composed  of  the  Conference 
Executive  Secretary,  the  Conference  Director  of  Adult  Work  and  Christian  Family  Life  ; 
Education,  and  the  Conference  Director  of  Youth  Work,  and  the  Conference  Director  i 
of  Children's  Work,  and  three  qualified  and  interested  ministers  and  three  interested  , 
laymen  be  formed  to  study,  plan  and  help  to  effectively  carry  out  a  Family  Life  Educa- 
tion Program  in  the  conference.  i 

b.  That  this  Conference  Committee  on  Christian  Family  Life  meet  as  soon  as  is  practi-  1 
cal  after  Annual  Conference  to  make  this  study  and  to  plan  the  work  so  that  it  may  be  . 
effective  this  year.  {

2.  Duke  Divinity  School 

The  Divinity  School  has  had  an  unusually  good  year.  283  students  enrolled  (an  all- 
ime  high);  of  these  238  persons  working  for  the  B.D.  and  Master  of  Rehgious  Educa- 
ion.  Seventeen  persons  enrolled  in  1955  Summer  Session.  Twenty-eight  enrolled  in  the 
graduate  School  of  Arts  and  Sciences  as  Ph.D.  and  M.A.  degree  candidates. 
,  Divinity  School  students  represent  93  institutions;  Duke  University  has  the  largest 
lumber  with  31.  Fifteen  denominations  are  represented  with  237  of  the  283  Methodists. 
'16  states  and  one  foreign  country.  Sixty-nine  persons  are  candidates  for  B.D.  degree 
June  6  and  six  for  Master  of  Rehgious  Education. 

Action  of  Recent  General  Conference 

a.  Increase  support  of  theological  schools  from  $800.00  per  year  to  (about) 
11,200.00. 

b.  Voted  $25,000  per  year  grants  in  aid  to  other  institutions  (non-Methodist)  where 
'arge  numbers  of  Methodist  students  are  registered. 

c.  Organize  two  new  theological  seminaries,  one  in  Ohio  and  one  in  Kansas-Missouri- 
Mebraska  area. 

The  number  of  applicants  for  admission  during  the  present  year  has  been  much 
.arger  than  ever  before.  The  standard  of  scholarship  for  admission  has  been  raised  from 
"C"  average  in  a  four-year  college  to  a  "C+"  average  and  preferably  to  a  "B"  average. 

For  the  last  two  years  it  has  been  necessary  to  close  admissions  by  April  1  of  each 
ear.  Since  the  Divinity  School  will  reach  and  even  exceed  its  maximum  justifiable  en- 
oUment,  it  will  not  receive  any  large  increase  in  the  funds  voted  by  the  recent  General 
Conference.  This  makes  it  all  the  more  necessary  that  the  funds  which  it  is  now  receiving 
rom  the  North  Carolina  Conferences  will  be  maintained  at  not  less  than  their  present 
pvel  and  wherever  possible  should  be  increased.  The  particular  case  in  point  is  the  funds 
hi  the  school  for  approved  supply  pastors.  Each  of  the  North  Carolina  Conferences  this 
'ear  gives  $500  for  this  school,  whereas  over  40  students  from  each  conference  attended 
1st  year.  The  school  will  run  this  year  for  four  weeks,  thus  increasing  the  cost  for 
ticulty  and  to  the  students.  If  students  are  granted  only  $50  scholarships,  this  would 
lean  $2,000  from  each  of  the  North  Carohna  Conferences. 


130  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

3.  Greensboro  College 

From  the  charter  of  Greensboro  College  it  is  very  clear  that  the  College  was  founded  I 
to  serve  all  Methodists  in  North  Carolina.  Greensboro  College  is  owned  and  operated  ' 
by  the  two  Conferences  of  North  Carolina  Methodism. 

During  the  year  1955-56  the  college  worked  toward  an  increased  enrollment.  Com- 
pletion of  the  Greensboro  Building  will  enable  us  to  accommodate  435  resident  students 
lor  the  immediate  future.  Utilizmg  other  college  owned  properties  may  permit  us  to 
expand  this  to  approximately  500  within  the  next  few  years.  We  should  be  able  to  add 
to  this  a  town  student  population  of  75  to  100,  thus  bringing  our  total  enrollment  for 
the  future  to  575  to  600. 

The  financial  picture  has  several  important  aspects.  ( 1 )  In  order  to  complete  the 
Greensboro  Building  we  shall  need  to  borrow  approxnnately  $150,000.  Repayment  of  this 
will  hinge  directly  upon  receipts  from  United  College  Appeal,  particularly  from  the 
North  Carolina  Conference.  (2)  In  the  near  future  the  college  will  need  a  gymnasium 
at  a  cost  of  $250,000.  (3)  Renovation  of  several  areas  of  the  campus  will  cost  $150,000. 
(4)  The  college  needs  an  additional  $4,000,000  for  the  endowment  fund. 

The  following  statistics  for  the  year  1955-56:  Officers  and  instructors — 54;  students — 
401;  value  of  property— $2,161,151.00;  endowment—  $831,235.00;  endowment  scholar- 
ship aid — $1,800;  work  awards  to  students — $16,750.00;  other  scholarship  and  grants — 
$5,300;  tuition  reductions  to  ministers'  children  and  to  ministerial  candidates,  $5,645; 
an  additional  dormitory,  $300,000. 

Greensboro  College  takes  seriously  its  relationship  to  the  Methodist  Church.  It  is 
frankly  and  avowedly  a  church-related  college. 

4.  High  Point  College 

Statistics  for  the  year  1955-56 

The  enrollment  for  the  year  ending  May  28,  1956,  was  as  follows:  Regular  session — 
963  different  students;  Summer  School — 573  different  students;  Extension — 51  different 
students;  making  a  total  of  1,587.  Between  80  and  90  pre-ministerial  students  and  a 
similar  number  of  young  women  preparing  for  directors  of  Christian  education  and  other 
religious  vocations  have  been  enrolled  this  year.  There  were  72  faculty  and  staff  members. 
We  had  892  students  enrolled  during  the  last  semester.  For  next  year  we  are  planning 
to  hold  the  enrollment  to  the  same  number,  certainly  under  900,  of  the  students  of  high 
quahty. 

The  auditors  have  not  as  yet  given  their  report  but  the  following  are  some  unofficial 
figures:  The  college  will  close  the  year  without  a  deficit.  The  value  of  equipment, 
buildings  and  grounds  has  increased.  The  endowment  fund  has  increased  by  $:io,:i92. 
Approximately  $10,000  has  been  received  as  current  operating  scholarship  funds  during 
the  year. 

High  Point  College  is  in  desperate  need  of  additional  funds  from  the  College  Sustain- 
ing Fund  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference.  Last  year  we  received  $22  per  full-time 
student  from  the  North  Carolina  Sustaining  Fund  and  $53  per  full-time  student  from  the 
Western  North  Carolina  Conference  or  a  total  of  $75  from  both  conferences.  The  amount 
appropriated  to  each  student  at  High  Point  College  is  no  more  than  one  half  or  perhaps 
less  of  the  amount  appropriated  to  each  student  at  the  other  colleges  in  the  Conferences. 

Student  religious  activities  play  an  important  part  in  the  life  of  the  college.  Faculty 
members  head  up  the  leadership  in  the  Department  of  Religion.  In  March  the  college, 
in  co-operation  with  local  churches  played  host  to  the  State  Conference  of  the  Methodist 
Student  Movement.  In  the  regular  life  of  the  college  the  Student  Christian  Association 
is  responsible  for  Sunday  evening  vespers.  Religious  Emphasis  Week,  and  other  campus- 
wide  religious  activities.  The  fellowship  teams  offer  to  all  students  who  are  interested 
an  opportunity  to  participate  in  church  activities.  After  a  period  of  careful  training,  these 
teams  go  out  to  surrounding  churches  to  lead  in  services.  This  summer  19  students  will 
be  taking  part  in  special  summer  activities. 

Immediate  needs  of  the  college:  (1)  Increased  operating  funds  from  the  College 
Sustaining  Fund;  (2)  Larger  endowment;  (3)  A  new  and  adequate  gymnasium  and 
dining  hall  and  kitchen;  (4)  A  separate  bmlding  for  an  infirmary;  (5)  additional  equip- 
ment such  as  an  adequate  pipe  organ  for  the  memorial  auditorium  and  chapel. 

5.  LouisBURG  College 

Total  enrollment  at  Louisburg  College  during  the  1955-56  session  was  343,  repre- 
senting an  increase  of  more  than  507^'  over  the  previous  year.  Pre-registrations  for  the 


Journal  of  Proceedings  131 

p56-57  session  are  running  ahead  of  last  year,  and  indications  are  that  a  capacity  enroll- 
nient  will  be  reached  for  the  coming  year. 

During  the  past  summer  renovations  included  Main  Building  which  opened  new 
dormitory  space  for  men.  A  central  heating  plant  has  been  completed  at  a  cost  of 
ipproximately  $125,000.  It  is  expected  that  tJie  Davis  Building  will  be  remodeled  during 
he  summer  to  provide  much  needed  additional  classroom  space  and  living  quarters  for 
acuity  members. 

Urgent  physical  needs  include  a  cafeteria  and  a  library  building.  Long  term  needs 
include  a  classroom-auditorium  building  and  additional  donnitory  space. 
'      Indebtedness   on  the   central  heating   plant  is   $85,000   which   sum    is    covered    by 
inticipated  United  College  Appeal  funds. 

The  college  closed  its  Hscal  year  May  31,  1956,  with  a  surplus  in  its  year's  operations. 
Statistics  for  the  1955-56  session  are:  officers  and  instructors,  25;  students,  343;  value 
if  property,  $1,260,000;  endowments,  $160,000. 


Pfeiffer  College 


:     Statistics  for  the  year  1955-56 

Total  enrollment — 534;  Number  of  faculty — 32;  Number  of  staff — 29;  Value  of 
buildings  and  Grounds— $3,250,000;  Total  Budget  for  Fiscal  Year  1955-56— $525,000; 
,pent  for  Capital  Expansion — $400,000;  Endowment — $1,625,000. 

Pfeiffer  College  expects  to  enroll  its  first  senior  class  in  September  1956,  when  the 
Jtal  enrollment  will  approximate  650  students.  Our  faculty  will  increase  to  nearly  50 
nd  other  expansion  will  be  in  proportion.  We  are  now  in  process  of  completing  a  cam- 
aign  for  $1,500,000  which  will  make  possible  a  new  science  building,  new  dormitory 
nd  12  additional  faculty  homes.  The  dormitory  and  homes  will  be  ready  for  occupancy 
;liis  fall.  The  college  is  owned  and  operated  by  the  Woman's  Division  of  Christian  Service 
^nd  receives  support  from  Methodist  women  in  all  parts  of  the  country. 

Section  B 
;  METHODIST  STUDENT  MOVEMENT 

I  The  Reverend  J.  Robert  Regan,  Jr.,  State  Director  of  the  North  Carolina  Methodist 
jtudent  Movement,  has  had  a  busy,  successful,  and  rewarding  year  working  with  our 
':udent  organization  in  all  sections  of  the  state.  He  has  visited  most  of  the  58  colleges 
a  the  state  which  has  brought  him  in  contact  with  college  officials  and  MSM  groups,

Report  No.  4 
ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  CAMP  DON-LEE,  INC. 

Considerable  progress  has  been  made  in  the  development  of  Camp  Don-Lee  during 
lie  past  year.  We  are  now  approaching  the  final  phase  of  this  development  which  began 
;cn  years  ago.  The  building  program  will  be  completed  within  the  next  twelve  months. 
>,Vhen  this  has  been  done  we  will  have  a  total  propertv  evaluation  of  approximately 
:>200,000.00. 

The  camp  was  struck  by  two  severe  hurricanes  last  fall  that  inflicted  considerable 
lainage  to  our  properties.  Two  cabins  were  severely  damaged,  a  retaining  wall  and  a 
i\er  pier  destroyed,  many  trees  blown  down,  and  minor  wind  damage  inflicted  upon 
;)ther  buildings.  The  high  tide  and  lashing  waxes  also  inflicted  severe  damage  to  the 
■jver  shore,  washed  out  trees,  washed  out  around  one  cabin,  and  littered  the  grounds 
Ivith  debris.  It  was  conservatively  estimated  that  we  suffered  a  minimum  of  twelve  or 
ifteen  thousand  dollars  damage  to  our  camp  properties  in  these  two  storms. 

Two  of  these  hurricanes  occurred  during  the  camping  season,  but  we  are  glad  to 
eport  that  no  one  was  injured.  Twice  the  camp  was  evacuated  and  the  campers  moved 

0  New  Bern  where  they  were  housed  and  fed  in  the  Centenary  Methodist  Church  until 
hey  could  return  to  the  camp  or  until  their  parents   came   to  take  them  home.   Both 

■.anipers  and  counselors  faced  the  emergency  heroically  and  turned  a  difficult  situation 
nto  a  profitable  experience.  We  shall  forexer  be  grateful  to  the  people  of  Centenary 

i^hurch  for  their  helpfulness. 

}  Practically  all  the  damage  has  been  repaired  and  the  camp  is  now  more  beautiful 
Iian  ever.  The  damaged  cabins  have  been  repaired,  the  shore-line  rebuilt,  the  debris 
.•leaned  up,  and  a  new  and  much  larger  river  pier  is  to  be  built.  In  addition,  all  the  cabins 
lave  been  painted  a  rustic  brown.  Very  few  scars  now  remain  to  remind  one  of  the 
,torms  of  last  fall.  We  all  hope  and  pray  that  no  more  hurricanes  bearing  the  inapt  names 
)i  docile  girls  will  visit  our  camp. 

The  following  buildings  ha\e  been  erected  during  the  past  year:  a  combination 
jarage-workshop-storage  building,  an  infirmary,  a  crafts  hut  and  three  screened-in 
lavilions.  These  buildings  have  enhanced  both  the  value  and  the  beauty  of  the  camp, 
'dded  to  the  comfort  of  the  campers,  and  increased  the  efficiency  of  the  camping  pro- 
'';ram.  They  were  erected  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  T.  J.  Collier  of  Bayboro,  N.  C, 
'reasurer  of  the  camp,  at  a  considerable  financial  saving  to  the  camp. 
,  A  beautiful  four  hundred  foot  ri\er  pier  is  being  built  at  a  cost  of  approximately 
•4,000.00,  $1,000.00  of  which  was  donated  by  two  friends  of  the  camp.  This  will  be  a 
(TV  substantia!  pier,  built  out  of  creosoted  piling  and  cypress  lumber.  It  will  be  insured 
t  HiVr  of  the  cost  of  construction  against  hurricane  and  storm  damage. 

A  number  of  small  gifts  of  money  and  equipment  have  been  made  to  the  camp  for 
.  iiich  we  are  very  grateful.  These  gifts  have  been  recorded  in  the  minutes  of  Camp  Don- 
ee, Inc. 

Blueprints  have  been  drawn  for  the  two  buildings  that  will  complete  the  presently 
nticipated  building  program.  These  buildings  will  be  erected  within  the  next  six  or 
;ight  months.  They  are  a  Fellowship  Lodge  and  a  Staff  Lodge.  The  Fellowship  Lodge 
li'ill  consist  of  a  large  room  for  fellowship,  recreation,  and  assembly  purposes,  a  camp 
lirector's  office,  a  work  room,  toilet  facilities  and  large  porches  on  two  sides.  It  will  con- 
ain  a  large  fireplace  at  the  end  of  the  hall  with  another  fireplace  on  the  porch.  The  Staff 
.odge  will  contain  living  quarters  for  both  men  and  women,  toilet  facilities,  a  kitchen- 
tility  room,  a  lobby  and  a  porch. 

When  these  buildings  have  been  completed,  it  is  hoped  that  a  caretaker  can  be 
ecured  to  live  in  the  home  erected  for  this  purpose  and  currently  being  used  as  a  Staff 
-odge.  This  person  will  look  after  the  camp  properties  and  make  preparation  for 
[roups  to  use  the  camp. 

1  The  Reverend  Robert  Regan,  Jr.,  has  served  as  our  camp  director  for  the  past  two 
Jears-  on  a  part-time  basis.  He  continues  to  do  an  outstanding  job  of  conducting  the 
.amping  program.  Under  liis  leadership  interest  in  camping  has  grown  until  we  no 
Dnger  can  take  care  of  all  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  at  Camp 
)on-Lee  who  would  like  to  attend  a  church  camp.  In  spite  of  the  fact  that  Camp  Caro- 
jne  was  leased  for  four  weeks  last  summer,  several  hundred  boys  and  girls  who  applied 
'or  camp  had  to  be  turned  away.  In  order  to  help  relieve  this  situation,  this  summer, 
firee  private  camps  have  been  leased  for  a  total  of  nine  weeks  for  nine  district  junior 
amps.  Camp  Don-Lee  will  be  open  for  the  entire  summer  camping  season  to  interme- 
liate  (junior  high)  boys  and  girls.  In  addition  the  Young  Adult  Assembly,  and  the  Older 
onth  Assembly  will  be  held  at  Camp  Don-Lee  this  summer. 


144  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

The  Conference  Board  of  Education  is  now  looking  for  another  campsite  and  the 
annual  conference  is  being  asked  to  continue  an  apportionment  for  tlae  development  of 
a  second  conference  camp. 

As  we  near  the  completion  of  the  development  of  Camp  Don-Lee,  we  wuold  Hke  to 
thank  the  pastors  and  the  laymen  of  the  JNorth  Carolina  Conference  for  tlieir  loyal  sup- 
port without  which  this  camp  could  not  have  been  built.  We  are  witnessing  the  fulfill- 
ment of  a  dream  that  has  been  in  the  hearts  and  minds  of  a  number  of  our  people  for 
a  great  number  of  years.  Your  Board  of  Trustees  has  shared  in  this  dream  and  worked 
diligently  to  help  bring  it  to  pass.  We  have  attempted  to  be  true  to  the  trust  placed  in 
us  to  guide  the  development  of  this  our  first  Conference  Youth  Camp.  Everyone  who 
has  had  a  part  in  this  project  can  take  pride  in  this  camp  which  we  shall  dedicate  to  the 
glory  of  God  and  the  Christian  education  of  the  boys  and  girls  of  the  North  Carohna 
Conference. 

Respectfully  submitted,

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  INTER-CONFERENCE  COMMISSION  ON  STUDENT 
RELIGIOUS  WORK 

The  Inter-Conference  Commission  has  sought  to  give  direction  to  the  program  of 
student  religious  work  carried  on  at  all  of  the  lifty-nine  colleges  of  North  Carolina.  Fi- 
nancial assistance  has  been  provided  for  the  student  work  being  carried  on  at  the  fol- 
lowing colleges:   University  of  North  Carolina,  Rev.  Murry  Unruli,  director;  Duke  Uni- 
versity, Rev.  Art  Brandenburg,   director;  Woman's  College,   Mrs.   Ira  Shelley,  director; 
Western  Carolina  College,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Milford  Thumm,  directors;  Appalachian  State 
Teachers  College,  Rev.  and  Mrs.  Everett  Lowman,  directors;  Raleigh  colleges.  Rev.  Neal 
McGlammer>',  director;  Wake  Forest  College,  Rev.  Leonard  Ranson,  director;  East  Car-  ■ 
ohna  College,  Miss  Mamiej  Chandler,  director;  Catawba  College,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Glenn  i 
Hardesty,  directors;  and  Davidson  College,  Rev.  Jerry  Murray,  director.  Only  a  small  ' 
amount  of  money  is  being  provided  at  Davidson  and   Catawba   Colleges  to  assist  in 
program  planning.  The  Reverend  J.  Robert  Regan,  Jr.,  is  employed  on  a  half-time  basis 
as  State  Director  of  the  Methodist  Student  Movement.  The  names  of  the  Boards  of 
Directors  of  all  Wesley  Foundations  will  be  filed  with  the   Conference  Secretary  for  | 
publication  in  the  Journal.  ' 

At  the  present  time,  we  ha\t-  twenty-si.\  organized  units  of  the  Methodist  Student  I 
Movement  and  we  co-operate  in  the  interdenominational  programs  being  carried  on  at  ! 
thirty-one  other  campuses.  At  those  colleges  where  MSM  units  are  not  organized,  either  ' 
because  of  administrative  policy  or  because  of  the  infeasibility  of  organizing  such  a  ! 
group,  the  intercollegiate  program  and  projects  of  the  MSM  are  emphasized.  At  each  ! 
of  the  colleges  where  Wesley  Foundations  are  organized,  tire  influence  of  the  Metliodist  I 
Church  is  keenly  felt  and  college  officials  are  looking  to  us  for  constructive  student  reli-  ■ 
gious  development.  Programs  on  Christian  faith,  vocations,  social  issues,  missions,  andij 
fellowship  are  well  attended  at  each  college,  and  it  is  clearly  seen  that  the  Christian 
rehgion  can  and  must  make  an  impact  on  the  college  campuses.  ' 

The  Intercollegiate  program  of  the  MSM  was  expanded  this  year.  In  October,  a  re- '' 
treat  for  presidents  and  advisers  of  MSM  groups  and  a  Deputations  and  Fellowship  ) 
Team  Leadership  Conference  were  held  which  were  attended  by  thirty-five  and  fifty  j 
leaders,  respectively.  A  series  of  three  weekend  district  conferences  was  held  in  Novem- 1 
ber  which  brought  together  260  students,  and  in  February  seventy  students  attended  the  j 
first  Collegiate  Church  Vocations  Conference  held  in  Chapel  Hill.  High  Point  entertained ! 
the  state  conference  in  March  which  attracted  225  students  from  tliroughout  the  state 
and  an  April  weekend  saw  seventy  recreation  leaders  from  various  colleges  gather  for 


Journal  of  Pboceedings  147 

the  State  Recreational  Leadership  Conference.  The  weekend  of  June  21-23  is  set  aside 
for  the  Annual  Nurses  Retreat,  which  attracts  student  nurses  from  at  least  fifteen  of  the 
schools  of  nursing  in  the  state.  In  addition,  North  Carolina  has  been  well-represented 
at  the  state,  regional,  and  national  conferences  of  students — most  notable  being  the 
attendance  of  thirty  students  at  the  Student  Volunteer  Movement  Conference  in  Athens, 
Ohio,  during  the  Christmas  holidays.  Also,  the  MSM  has  co-operated  very  closely  witli 
the  State  Student  Ecumenical  Movement  which  sponsored  a  conference  in  May  on  Chris- 
tian imity.  The  state  director  serves  as  adviser  for  this  ecumenical  group.  The  entire 
progrant  of  activities  was  carried  out  under  the  direction  of  the  State  Student  Council, 
fim  Murr  of  Davidson,  president.  Garland  Young  of  High  Point  College  is  incoming 
president. 

With  5,167  Methodist  students  in  state  institutions  of  higher  learning,  2,959  in 
Methodist  colleges,  and  2,317  in  other  private  or  denominational  colleges,  diis  means 
;hat  we  have  over  13,000  Methodist  students  in  the  colleges  of  North  Carohna,  when 
ve  include  those  who  are  enrolled  in  our  thirty-four  schools  of  nursing.  Every  Methodist 
n  North  Carolina  has  a  responsibility  for  the  religious  training  and  guidance  of  these 
tudents.  This  responsibility  carries  wth  it  tremendous  financial  obligations.  To  meet  the 
ncreased  needs  of  expanding  college  enrollments,  the  annual  appropriation  of  fui^s 
•oming  from  both  Annual  Conferences  will  have  to  be  doubled  during  this  quadrennium. 
fo  take  care  of  the  future  leadership  of  oiu-  Church,  we  must  strengthen  our  student 
rograni.

APPROVED  SUPPLY  PASTORS'  SCHOOL  FOR  1956 

The  annual  Approved  Supply  Pastors'  School  at  Duke  University  is  a  joint  project 
the  Divinity  School  of  Duke  University,  the  Southeastern  Jurisdictional  Conference, 
id  the  Department  of  In-Service  Training  of  The  Methodist  Church.  The  school  is 
;lanned  to  afford  opportunity  for  supply  pastors  and  ministers  corning  into  conference 
lembership  to  fulfill  the  requirements  of  the  Course  of  Study  prescribed  in  the  1952 
lethodist  Discipline,  and  to  develop  understanding  and  skills  for  a  more  effective 
linistry. 

Tliirty-nine  of  the  185  students  in  the  1955  school  and  five  of  the  teachers  were 
lembers  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference.  A  direct  contribution  of  $200  from  the 
jOrth  Carolina  Conference  was  allocated  to  its  men  in  scholarship  grants.  The  $500 
jlocation  for  this  year  will  more  adequately  support  those  in  need  of  such  aid.  It  is 
pped  that  local  churches  and  the  several  districts  will  provide  further  help  to  their 
tpresentatives  in  the  school. 

This  year  the  school  will  be  extended  to  four  weeks  to  allow  each  student  credit  on 
full  year  of  work  in  the  Course  of  Study.  The  curriculum  and  extra-curricular  acUvi- 
'S  are  planned,  in  co-operation  with  the  Department  of  In-Service  Training,  by  a 
ivinity  School  conimittee  consisting  of  Dean  James  Cannon  and  Professors  W.  A. 
lie,  A.  J.  Walton,  and  McMurry  S.  Richey.  Faculty  members  this  year  include  two 
istors  from  the  North  Carolina  Conference,  Leon  Couch  and  O.  Kelly  Ingram;  six 
^vinity  School  faculty  members,  John  W.  Carlton,  A.  Durwood  Foster,  W.  A.  Kale, 
reighton  Lacy,  H.  E.  Myers,  and  Gilbert  T.  Howe;  two  from  the  Undergraduate  Depart- 
ent  of  Religion,  Clyde  L.  Manshreck  and  J.  H.  Phillips;  and  William  R.  Locke  of  High 
tint  College.  The  daily  serxices  of  worship  will  be  conducted  by  students  and  faculty 

inbers  under  the  direction  of  the  classes  on  "Preaching"  and  "The  Methodist  Hymnal 
d  Worship."  Three  evenings  a  week  will  be  given  to  lectures,  films,  sermons,  work- 
ops,  and  faculty  forums. 

The  dates  of  the  1956  school  will  be  July  17-August  10.  In  spite  of  the  greater 
isth  and  expense  of  the  school  this  year,  advance  enrollments  are  running  about  the 
lie  as  for  1955.  Probably  175  to  185  will  attend,  and  probably  between  thirty  and 

t>   of  these  will  represent  the  North  Carolina  Conference. 

As  in  other  years,  the  Approved  Supply  Pastors'  School  has  had  the  helpful  co-opera- 
1 1)  of  the  district  superintendents  and  officials  of  the  Conference  Boards  of  Ministerial 
aining  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  and  other  annual  conferences  of  the  South- 
<  stern  Jurisdiction,  in  publicizing  the  school,  securing  and  approving  students,  and 
Irnishing  supplementary  scholarship  aid.  It  is  our  hope  to  be  of  effective  service  to  the 
(nferences  and  their  men  in  their  training  through  the  Course  of  Study.

BOARD  OF  EVANGELISM  ^478 

Your  Board  of  Evangelism  calls  upon  our  Conference  to  become  aware  of  the  great 
and  pressmg  need  of  the  cliurch  that  it  might  be  the  central  evangelizmg  force  in  our 
world  toaa> .  It  the  Church  is  to  have  great  spiritual  results  we  must  have  a  great 
e\'angelistic  emphasis.  (Jur  preaching  must  have  a  note  of  urgency  in  it.  We  must  preach 
for  verdicts.  Uie  ultimate  job  ot  preaching  is  to  move  the  will,  to  set  it  in  another 
course.  Ihis  is  still  the  time  in  which  we  must  bring  the  wills  of  men  into  tune  with 
the  will  ot  Cod.  The  true  spirit  of  evangelism  must  permeate  the  entire  program  of  the 
Church. 

lour  Conference  Board  of  Evangelism  presents  the  following  recommendations  with 
the  hope  and  prayer  that  they  will  receive  the  hearty  endorsment  of  our  Conference: 

1.  We  pledge  our  Board  of  Evangelism  to  co-operate  fully  witli  the  General  Board  I 
of  Evangelism  as  it  seeks  to  guide  the  general  churclt  in  its  evangelistic  ettorts. 

2.  In  order  that  ministers  may  be  better  trained  in  the  held  of  evangehsm,  we  recom- 
mend that  Schools  of  Evangelism  for  pastors  be  held  m  each  district  during  this  con- 
ference year. 

3.  We  recommend  that  Workshops  in  Evangelism  for  local  church  Commissions  on 
Membership  and  li,vangelism  be  conducted  on  a  suodistrict  level  during  the  ensuing  year. 

4.  Kealizing  the  value  of  prayer,  your  Board  urges  that  every  church  co-operate  in 
the  Prayer  Movement  promoted   by  the  General   board  of  Evangelism. 

5.  Every  church  is  urged  to  pardcipate  in  the  Church  Attendance  Crusade,  January  1 
through  Easter,  1957. 

b.  One  of  the  most  important  phases  in  evangelistic  effort  is  that  of  finding  prospects. 
We,  therefore,  recommend  that  a  c>ommunity  Jrteligious  burvey  be  conducted  in  order 
to  tind  those  to  be  reached  for  Christ. 

7.  Your  Board  of  Evangelism  mtist  work  with  our  Conference  Board  of  Missions 
and  Church  E.xtension  in  locating  and  establishing  new  churches. 

8.  Every  local  church  is  urged  to  make  the  best  possible  use  of  all  devotional  mate- 
rials available  for  the  cultivations  of  the  spiritual  life. 

9.  We  pledge  our  full  support  to  all  conference  boards  and  commissions  sharing  in 
the  evangelistic  efforts  of  our  Conference. 

10.  Vve  urge  that  all  methods  or  evangelism  be  used  that  are  in  accordance  with 
the  historical  framework  of  Methodism. 

li.  Jhealizing  the  importance  ot  knowing  what  is  taking  place  in  the  field  of  evange- 
lism in  our  Loiiterence,  we  recommend  that  an  Evangelism  JNews  bheet  be  prepared 
and  sent  to  pastors  and  chaiimen  of  the  Local  Commission  on  Membership  and  Evan- 
gelism. 

12.  Again  we  heartily  endorse  the  "No-Silent  Pulpit"  program  of  the  Conference 
Board  of  Lay  Activities  earned  out  during  the  Lenten  period.  A  great  service  has  been 
rendered  by  these  consecrated  lay  speakers,  so  we  urge  the  same  plan  be  used  this  year. 

la.  Laymen  are  the  best  evangiists.  We  would,  therefore,  recommend  that  full 
co-operation  be  given  to  the  Conference  Board  of  Lay  Activities  in  getting  members  of 
the  Methodist  Men's  Clubs  to  become  personal  evangelists.  It  is  from  these  groups 
should  come  our  fisherman's  Club  or  E.ts.I. — tind  them,  Bring  them.  Interest  them. 

14.  Your  conference  Board  recommends  that  the  conference  employ  a  full-time  man 
in  the  field  of  evangelism  to  be  known  as  the  E\ecuti\e  Secretary  of  the  Conference 
Board  of  Evangelism.

BOARD  OF  HOSPITALS  AND  HOMES  p571 

We  recommend  that: 

1.  $26,300  be  given  for  the  Golden  Cross  Fund,  and  that  $52,600  be  given  to  the 
Methodist  Retirement  Homes,  Inc. 

2.  That  Mother's  Day  1957  be  used  as  a  day  of  promoting  our  Retirement  Home 
program,  and  a  special  offering  be  taken  on  that  day  to  go  to  the  Retirement  Home.| 
This  offering  is  apart  from  the  budget  item. 

3.  According  to  our  action  a  year  ago  regarding  a  chaplain  at  Duke  Hospital  which  i 
was  to  the  effect  that  when  an  equal  amount  could  be  secured  from  some  other  source,' 
the  N.  C.  Conference  would,  through  Golden  Cross,  supply  half  of  a  $5,000  salary, 
agreement  has  been  reached  with  The  Keeley  Institute  in  Greensboro  which  will  sup;

JOURNAL  OF  Proceedings  149 

half  this  amount  so  that  the  services  of  a  chaplain  will  be  available  to  be  shared  between 
Duke  Hospital  and  Keeley  Institute.  The  Rever-^nd  Paul  Wesley  Aitken,  a  member  of 
the  North  Carolina  Conference,  has  be?n  secured  for  this  appointment. 

4.  That  the  rules  governing  the  use  of  Golden  Cross  funds  printed  in  the  1954 
Journal,  pages  130-131,  be  continued. 

5.  That  traveling  preachers  and  approved  supply  pastors  take  group  hospital  insur- 
ance with  the  Hospital  Care  Association,  Inc.,  of  Durham,  North  Carolina. 

6.  That  Dr.  Russell  Dicks  be  re-elected  as  the  Golden  Cross  director  of  the  North 
Carolina   Conference.   That  the   district  superintendents   appoint   a   dis^^rict   director   for 

;  each  district  to  assist  Dr.  Dicks,  and  a  committee  of  three  to  pass  on  Golden  Cross  Cases.

METHODIST   HOME   FOR   CHILDREN 

For  almost  a  year  now,  our  Home  has  operated  under  the  name  of  The  Methodist 
Home  for  Children,  Inc.  It  has  been  a  source  of  gratification  to  those  of  us  who  live 
under  its  roof,  for  it  more  completely  describes  our  aims  and  ambitions  for  our  children. 
Then,  too,  the  new  name  has  met  with  favorable  response  on  the  part  of  ministers  and 

laj'men  throughout  the  Conference.  Of  course,  where  legal  matters  are  involved,  the 
name  Methodist  Orphanage  is  used,  pending  final  changes  in  the  charter. 

In  the  report  to  the  June  meeting  of  the  Annual  Conference  in  1955,  certain  phases 

'  of  the  program  for  the  ensuing  year  were  outlined.  Prominent  among  these  were  plans  for 

■sending  the  senior  high  studer.ts  to  Needham  Broughton  High  School,  and  the  estab- 
lishing of  the  new  school  district,  to  be  known  as  the  Methodist-Lewis  School.  This 
latter  step  meant  that  appro.ximately  one  hundred  children  from  the  former  Lewis  School 

'would  attend  the  school  here  on  the  grounds. 

'        While  the  above  ventures  were  entered  into  with  some  fears  and  uncertainties,  yet 

Ut  was  felt  that  this  was  an  educational  move  which  would  be  of  great  benefit  to  our 
children  and  young  people.  The  results  have  proven  that  our  fears  were  largely  without 

'foimdation.  On  the  other  hand,  the  results  have  substantiated  the  vision  of  a  better  day 
.ducationally  for  those  entrusted  to  our  care.  Justifiable  compliments  are  extended  to 
Mr.  Hammack  and  his  fine  corps  of  teachers  for  this  year's  achievements. 

One  need  only  look  around  the  campus  and  buildings  to  see  that  the  renovation  plans 
i'\  the  June  1955  meeting  of  the  Boarcl  of  Trustees  have  been  carried  out.  The  expense 
of  this  project  went  beyond  what  we  had  hoped,  but  such  is  often  the  case  in  a  repair  and 
renovation  program.  The  resulting  effect  of  clean  and  attractive  schoolrooms,  properly 
lighted,  and  major  improvements  in  the  auditorium,  is  very  noticeable  in  the  reactions 
and  behavior  of  our  children. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  the  proposal  to  send  the  eighth  and 
ninth  grades  of  ihe  Home  to  Hugh  Morson  Junior  High  was  adrpted.  It  is  believed  that 
this  step  will  be  most  \aluable  preparation  for  those  who  will  later  enter  Needham 
Brouffhton  Senior  High  School. 

The  capacity  of  the  Methodist  Home  for  Children  is  two  hundred  and  thirty-eight. 
This  is  an  average  of  approximately  twenty-four  children  or  young  people  per  cottage. 
It  is  impossible  for  one  who  has  not  worked  here  in  some  capacity  to  realize  what  an 
inordinate  load  the  House  Mother  must  carry.  Housing,  feeding  and  clothing  an  indi- 
\'idual  is  only  a  part  of  the  responsibility  of  the  Home.  The  necessary  guidance  of  dis- 
turbed and  emotionally  upset  children  in  order  to  develop  stable.  Christian  persons,  is 
the  challenge  that  must  not  be  underestimated.  One  with  experience  in  this  field  can 
see  why  new  cottages  which  are  being  constructed  in  Methodist  Homes  for  Children 
throughout  the  Church  have  a  capacity  in  most  cases  of  not  over  twelve. 

Most  of  our  cottages  carry  the  capacity  load.  However,  it  is  the  practice  of  the 
i II (Sent  administration  to  give  preference,  as  far  as  vacancies  are  concerned,  to  cottages 
liki'  Cole,  Garris  and  Burwell,  which  care  for  the  older  young  people. 

The  Methodist  Home  for  Children  is  most  fortunate  in  its  staff  of  co-operative  and 
<li  \oted  indi\iduals  who  strive  to  make  real  the  Home's  basic  policy  of  being  truly 
iliild-centered  in  all  of  its  service  to  children.

THE    METHODIST   RETIREMENT   HOMES,   INC. 

The  first  ten  montlis  that  the  Methodist  Retirement  Homes.  Inc.,  in  Durham  have 
1h  ■,•11  open  liave  taught  us  two  things.  First,  there  is  a  real  need  in  our  Conference  for 
siiih  a  home  and,   second,   the  members  of  our  Annual   Conference  have  only  to   \  isit 


1.50  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

the  Home  to  be  made  conscious  of  the  great  need  for  immediate  expansion  of  tlie  Home 
so  that  we  can  take  care  of  not  less  than  100  elderly  people  in  our  Conference. 

There  are  also  two  great  needs  why  this  is  tnie.  First,  we  want  to  provide  a  home 
for  those  who,  in  the  evening  of  life,  find  themselves  in  need  of  a  place  to  go  where  they 
can  be  taken  care  of  and  receive  the  loving  care  that  only  a  Christian  home,  such  as  the 
Methodist  Retirement  Homes  in  Durham,  can  offer;  and  second,  we  need  at  least  60 
additional  guests  in  the  Home  to  be  able  to  operate  it  economically,  because  we  have 
certain  overhead  expenses  that  must  be  paid  regardless  of  the  number  in  the  Home. 
The  present  building  has  sufficient  dining  room,  kitchen,  and  public  meeting  space  to 
take  care  of  at  least  60  additional  guests. 

We  realize  that  there  is  a  need  for  clarificaiton  of  how  the  Home  operates.  I  have 
been  asked  the  question,  "Why  is  it  that  we  have  some  living  in  the  Home  paying 
$160.00  per  month,  others  pay  $130.00,  and  even  some  a  great  deal  less?" 

The  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Home  determined  as  soon  as  possible  after  the  Home 
opened  what  the  actual  cost  was  of  maintaining  a  guest  in  the  Home.  This  amounted 
to  $160.00  per  month;  therefore,  the  Executive  Committee  felt  that  those  who  were 
able  to  pay  $160.00  per  montli  should  do  so,  and  if  there  were  those  in  the  Home 
who  could  not  pay  that  amount,  they  should  pay  what  they  could.  Therefore,  we  have 
some  in  the  Home  who  are  absolutely  unable  to  pay  more  than  $50.00  per  month  and 
yel  they  receive  the  same  loving  care  as  those  paying  $160.00.  Now,  that  is  where  the 
Christian  spirit  comes  into  the  Home.  When  the  application  of  the  one  applying  for 
admittance  to  the  Home  is  reviewed  by  the  Admissions  Committee,  it  is  first  determined 
whether  that  person  meets  every  qualification  required  by  the  Admissions  Committee. 
After  this  has  been  determined,  it  is  a  matter  of  working  out  the  business  details  as  to 
the  amount  that  they  can  pa\'.  After  an  investigation  has  been  made,  if  it  is  determined 
that  the  person  is  able  to  pay  $160.00  per  month,  we  expect  them  to  do  it,  otherwise 
they  would  be  receiving  charity  from  th.e  Methodist  Conference.  On  the  other  hand,  if 
they  are  not  able  to  pay  that  amount,  then  a  plan  is  worked  out  whereby  they  can 
come  into  the  Home  regardless  of  the  amount  they  are  able  to  pay. 

The  point  that  I  am  trying  to  make  is  that  the  amount  anyone  entering  the  Home 
is  required  to  pay  is  determined  after  tlie  Admissions  Committee  has  decided  that  they 
are  eligible  for  membership  in  the  Home. 

The  question  has  also  been  asked,  "Why  do  you  require  those  entering  the  Home 
to  agree  to  gixe  a  certain  portion  of  their  material  wealth  to  the  Home?"  Again,  that  is 
where  the  Christian  spirit  comes  in.  If  tliose  living  in  the  Home  have  material  wealth, 
they  should  be  willing  to  share  it  with  the  Methodist  Conference  to  enable  it  to  provide 
additional  space  for  others  who,  like  themselves,  need  a  home  in  the  evening  time  of 
life.  Certainly,  those  receiving  the  benefits  of  the  Home  should  be  the  first  to  want  to 
share  whatever  ihey  may  have  of  worldly  goods  with  the  Home. 

We,  of  course,  have  experienced  instances  where  the  family  was  able  to  pay  the  full 
charge  and,  also,  to  share  something  with  the  Home  but  they  did  not  want  to  assume 
that  responsibility.  They  felt  that  the  Church  should  provide  their  loved  ones  with  a 
home  at  whatever  amount  they  are  willing  to  pay.  This  is  an  un-Christian  spirit  and  is 
contrary  to  everything  that  the  Home  stands  for. 

We  do  not  have  a  right  to  go  to  the  members  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference 
asking  them  to  give  contributions  to  the  Home  in  order  that  we  may  provide  additional 
space,  as  well  as  comforts  for  those  already  living  in  the  Home,  when  members  of  the 
Hon>e  own  in  their  own  name  material  wealth  that  they  will  not  share  with  the  Home, 
and  certainly  when  it  comes  to  the  place  that  the  members  of  a  family  of  a  guest  in  the 
Home  are  not  willing  to  share  some  of  their  material  wealth  to  help  provide  additional 
space  for  others. 

I  know  a  number  of  contributors  to  the  Home  who  never  intend  to  live  in  the  Home. 
Would  it  be  right  to  ask  them  to  provide  the  physical  property  and  then  contribute  to 
the  operating  fund  of  the  Home  when  we  have  guests  in  the  Home  who  are  able  to 
pay  the  full  charge,  or  whose  loved  ones  are  able  to  pay  for  them  and  will  not  do  it 
because  they  want  to  get  it   as  cheap  as   possible? 

It  all  miglit  be  summed  up  in  these  words.  There  is  none  too  poor  or  none  too  rich 
to  be  a  guest  in  the  Home.  Again,  that  is  where  the  Christian  spirit  comes  in,  but  it 
would  be  un-Cliristiaii  for  those  who  are  able  to  pay  and  even  contribute  something 
extra  to  help  take  care  of  th(3se  who  cannot  pay  if  we  allowed  them  to  live  in  the 
Home  without  meeting  tiieir  full  responsibilities. 

The  question  also  has  been  raised,  "What  services  do  you  render?"  Again,  it  can  be 
best  explained  in  these  words.  It  is  the  next  thing  to  getting  married  because  we  takt 
them  "for  bett'-r  or  worse,  for  richer  or  poorer."  Those  going  in  the  Home  on  a  life 
contract  are  assured  of  a  home  as  long  as  they  live,  with  all  the  medical  and  nursing 


Journal  of  Proceedings  151 

care  that  is  required;  in  other  words,  they  are  reUeved  of  all  of  the  responsibilities  of 
hfe.  This  includes  those  who  may  not  be  able  to  pay  more  than  $50.00  per  month,  as 
well  as  those  who  are  able  to  pay  the  full  amount  of  their  expenses. 
The  Home  is  like  a  great  big  family,  the  strong  must  help  the  weak. 
Brother  Coble,  the  superintendent,  has  proven  in  his  first  nine  months  as  a  super- 
intendent, that  he  is  not  only  interested  in  the  work  but  he  loves  it.  He  is  giving  his 
whole  heart  and  soul  to  the  great  work  to  which  he  has  been  called. 

Our  one  big  need  now  is  to  pay  the  $180,000.00  we  owe  on  the  present  Home  so 
i  that  we  can  build  60  additional  rooms  as  soon  as  possible.  This  can  only  be  accomplished 
!  through  contributions  to  the  Home.

REPORT  OF  THE  FIRST  EXECUTIVE  DIRECTOR  OF  THE 
METHODIST   RETIREMENT  HOMES,   INC. 

The  fir.st  unit  of  the  Methodist  Retirement  Homes,  Inc.,  was  accepted  from  the 
architects  on  August  23,  and  its  doors  opened  for  service  on  September  1,  1956,  with 
12  Home  members.  The  first  to  register  were  a  retired  minister  and  his  wife  with  41 
years  of  service  in  the  Methodist  Church,  33  of  these  in  Cuba.  Besides  our  missionary 
couple,  we  have  the  widows  of  six  of  our  ministers.  These  represent  232  years  of  service 
to  the  church. 

Our  membership  has  increased  until  our  building  is  filled  with  the  exception  of 
the  infirmary.  When  it  becomes  necessary  for  a  person  to  be  moved  to  the  infirmary 
permanently,  the  room  they  occupied  will  be  filled  with  a  new  Home  member.  There 
jis  room  for  32  members  outside  the  infirmary  and  eight  in  the  infirmary. 
i  Applications  are  coming  to  the  Home  almost  daily.  The  need  is  so  widespread  that 
■all  nine  districts  of  our  Conference  are  represented  in  our  Home  membership  of  32 
[persons. 

'  With  contentment,  proper  diet,  and  excellent  medical  attention,  every  Home  mem- 
ber is  in  better  health  than  when  they  entered  the  Home.  The  building  and  the  daily 
schedule  are  so  planned  that  there  has  not  been  a  single  accidental  injury.  We  must 
recognize,  however,  chat  with  members  ranging  in  age  from  65  to  89,  with  an  average 
pf  over  77,  illnesses  will  come. 

j  Our  members  are  offered  something  that  cannot  be  purchased  commercially.  Along 
Rvith  room,  board,  and  medical  attention,  go  love  and  compassion.  Our  day  begins 
with  a  worship  program  before  breakfast.  The  remainder  of  the  day  is  so  scheduled 
bat  there  is  a  wholesomeness  to  life.  Not  only  are  years  added  to  living,  but  living 
s  added  to  years. 

The  Home  members  pay  toward  their  keep  whatever  they  are  able  to  pay,  so  that 
vhile  some  pay  our  sustaining  rate  of  $160.00  per  month,  others  are  paying  less.  Some 
ire  on  a  life  contract  with  guaranteed  care  for  life.  Others  are  on  a  monthly  boarding 
lasis. 

Need  for  the  services  offered  by  the  Home  and  a  life  of  service  to  the  Church  and 
community  are  the  first  requirements  for  admission  into  the  Home.  Every  Home  member 
ve  have  has  been  outstanding  in  these  respects.  Though  no  one  has  been  turned  away 
[olely  for  financial  reasons,  many  have  been  denied  entrance  because  of  lack  of  room. 
[Choices  have  been  made  on  the  basis  of  need  for  the  Home  and  a  record  of  service 
)y  the  member. 

We  deeply  appreciate  the  contribution  made  to  the  Home  through  the  budgets  of 
•ur  churches,  and  urge  the  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance  to  continue  the 
ame  apportionment  for  the  coming  year.  The  Special  Mother's  Day  Offering  is  our 
,iope  for  expansion,  and  we  pray  that  this  might  be  continued  as  a  Specinl  Offering  over 
;.nd  above  the  budget  item.  Our  next  unit  can  be  financed  only  when  the  present  one 
iP  paid  for. 

I  Our  income  is  derived  from  the  Home  members,  the  apportionment  in  the  budget  of 
ihe  churches,  the  Mother's  Day  Offering,  the  furnishing  of  rooms  as  memorials,  gifts,  and 
jfirough  wills.  First  must  come  the  expenses  of  the  actual  day  by  day  keep  of  the 
lembers.  Next  must  come  the  payments  of  interest  and  principal  on   our  debt. 

Along  with  plans  for  the  next  unit  of  our  building  are  plans  for  developing  our 
iroperty  so  that  building  lots  will  be  available  for  the  erection  of  cottaaes.  Here  couples 
[an  know  the  security  of  a  central  home  with  the  privacy  of  separate  homes. 

During  the  year  gifts  have  come  from  friends  of  the  Home,  along  with  a  be- 
|uest  in  the  will  of  the  late  Mr.  L.  L.  Wren  in  the  amount  of  $25,000.00.  The  pro- 
|K)tion  of  Mother's  Day  provided  the  most  intense  publicity  the  Home  has  received, 
|hen  with  the  co-operation  of  Bishop  Garber  and  the  district  superintendents,  letters 
rere  sent  to  the  church  officials  in  each  church  in  the  Conference. 


152  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

The  response  on  Mother's  Day  gives  us  faith  to  beUeve  that  our  next  unit  can  be 
started  soon.  Whien  people  learn  of  the  service  that  our  Home  is  giving,  they  have 
responded  liberally  with  gifts. 

Recently,  the  first  unit  of  our  conference-wide  Auxiliary  was  organized  with  Mrs. 
H.  C.  Satterf'ekl,  Jr..  of  Durham  as  its  first  president.  Through  the  Auxiliary  those  who 
are  interested  in  the  Hnme  will  be  given  the  opportunity  to  serve.  As  rapidly  as  possible 
other  units  of  the  Auxil-ary  will  be  organized  across  the  Conference. 

The  superintendent  has  presorted  the  cause  of  the  Home  at  every  opportunity.  He 
is  available  wherever  the  cause  of  the  Home  cna  be  represented.  He  has  seen  the  dreams 
and  efforts  of  others  come  to  fulfillment.  He  has  known  the  thrill  of  seeing  those  who 
were  alone  and  afraid  find  security  and  contentment.  He  has  been  greatly  concerned 
that  many  equally  in  need  have  been  turned  away  because  there  is  no  room. 

Sharing  with  God,  we  can  accept  the  challense  of  Christ  on  the  Cross  to  one  of 
the  disciples  to  look  after  His  motlier,  by  expanding  our  program  to  meet  the  needs 
of  our  senior  citizens  of  today.

BOARD  OF  LAY  ACTIVITIES  p503 
Report  No.  1 

Carrying  out  a  program  of  district-wide  laymen's  rallies,  held  in  the  winter  each 
year,  the  Conference  Board  of  Lav  Activities  sponsored  in  this  conference  year  a  series 
of  rallies  in  e^ch  of  the  nine  districts.  M\  of  these  rallies  were  attended  bv  B'sbop  Paul 
N.  Garber  and  by  Dr.  Henry  Denman,  Executive  Secretary  of  the  Board  of  Evangelism, 
and  our  sincere  annreciation  is  expressed  for  this  co-operation.  A  total  of  5,151  persons 
attended  these  rallies  and  it  is  the  feeling  of  the  Board  that  the  inspiration  gathered  ' 
at  these  rallies  added  much  to  the  support  of  laymen  generally  for  the  program  of  '" 
evangelism. 

During  the  conference  vear  a  total  of  1,160  lay  speakers  were  certified  in  accordance 
with  the  provisions  of  the  Discipline  and  these  lay  speakers  were  used  to  implement  the 
"No  Silent  Pulpit"  program  which  was  carried  out  during  the  weeks  immediately  ore- 
ceding  Easter  under  the  supervision  and  direction  of  Bishop  Garber.  Reports  reaching 
the  Board  indicate  that  this  program  has  been  very  effective  in  increasing  the  interest 
and   enthusiasm   of  laymen   generally. 

At  the  1952  session  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  it  was  announced  that 
the  General  Board  of  Lay  Activities  had  assigned  to  this  Conference  a  goal  of  156 
chartered  Methodist  Men's  Clubs  by  1956.  The  Board  is  happy  to  report  that  there  arc 
in  the  bounds  of  this  Conference  now  a  total  of  194  chartered  Methodist  Men's  Clubs 
and  this  Conference  has,  therefore,  far  exceeded  the  request  of  the  General  Board  of 
Lay  Activities. 

One  of  the  most  successful  annual  retreats  for  the  laymen  of  the  conference  was 
held  last  August  at  Duke  University.  At  this  time  the  largest  number  of  laymen  ever 
to  attend  a  retreat  were  present  and  enjoyed  the  period  of  study  and  fellowship  and 
inspiration.  The  Board  has  voted  to  hold  its  1956-57  annual  laymen's  retreat  again  at 
Duke  University  in  August,  and  plans  are  being  completed  to  make  this  the  largest  and 
most  unsuccessful  retreat  yet  to  be  held  by  the  Board.  Co-operating  in  the  national  observ- 
ance of  Laymen's  Day  in  October,  your  Conference  Board  is  happy  to  report  that  this 
occasion  was  again  fully  observed  in  the  North  Carolina  Conference.  It  is  suggested 
th.nt,  with  the  quadrennial  emphasis  of  work  in  the  local  church,  this  occasion,  particu- 
larly in  the  coming  conference  year,  can  be  most  effectively  used  and  will,  if  used 
widely,  do  much  to  bring  laymen  to  a  deeper  realization  of  their  function  within  the 
framework  of  the  Methodist  Church  and  the  opportunities  existing  for  lay  work  in  each 
local  church  of  Methodism. 

The  Conference  Board  of  Lay  Activities  pledges  anew  the  combined  strength  of 
Methodist  laymen  in  supporting  and  pushing  forward  the  program  of  the  Methodist 
Church.  An  informed  and  dedicated  lav  croup  can  best  serve  to  carry  the  gospel  mes- 
sage to  the  four  corners  of  the  world  b\'  strengthening  the  gospel  message  and  its 
application  in  each  home  church. 

Respectfully  submitted,

BOARD  OF  MINISTERIAL  TRAINING  AND  QUALIFICATION  1|639 

Report  No.  1 
Note:  Report  No.  1  of  the  Board  of  Ministerial  Training  and  Qualifications  is  re- 
flected in  Part  H.  Condensed  Minutes  questions  17-35,  inclusive.  Editor 

RECOMMENDATION 

Numerous  complaints  have  reached  the  Board  of  Ministerial  Training  and  Qualifica- 
tions concerning  the  quality  of  some  men  who  have  been  recommended  by  the  North 
Carolina  Annual  Conference  and  sent  out  to  minister  to  Methodist  congregations.  We 
are  aware  that  some  unlettered  men  have  wrought  wonders  for  the  Kingdom  of  God 
but  we  also  know  that  in  a  day  of  advancing  education  and  training,  standards  must 
be  maintained;  therefore,  we  are  offering  this  resolution  which  sets  up  what  we  con- 
sider to  be  minimum  requirements. 

We  recommend  that  ordinarily  no  person  begin  an  Approved  Supply  status  who  is 
over  40  years  of  age;  and,  further,  that  no  man  without  a  high  school  diploma  be  recom- 
mended for  the  same  status.  We  further  recommend  to  District  Committees  on  Minis- 
terial Qualifications  that  no  person  without  a  high  school  diploma  be  given  local 
preacher's  license.

BOARD  OF  MISSIONS  p295 

Report  No.    1 

In  a  recent  article  by  Bishop  Paul  N.  Garber  it  was  stated  that  the  North  Carolina 
Annual  Conference  is  being  referred  to  as  the  "Miracle  Conference"  in  American  Meth- 
odism. Among  the  notable  facts  substantiating  this  claim  is  the  unusual  strides  made  in 
Church  Extension  and  the  matter  of  Mission  Specials.  We  now  have  100  more  pastoral 
1  charges  than  in  1952,  and  are  ranked  third  among  the  more  than  100  American  con- 
ferences in  Mission  Specials  carried.  This  growth  is  also  reflected  in  the  fact  that  at  the 
recent  General  Conference  we  had  12  delegates,  as  compared  to  8  four  years  ago,  this 
being  based  on  membership  growth. 
1  During  this  quadrennium  the  emphasis  has  been  placed  on  church  extension  by 
this  Conference.  We  have  employed  an  executive  secretary  of  church  extension,  and  we 
I  desire  to  conmiend  the  splendid  work  done  by  Rev.  Thomas  A.  Collins  in  this  field. 
This  quadrennium  has  seen  the  establishment  of  41  new  Methodist  congregations.  Of 
f  this  number  twelve  have  been  organized  this  year.  These  include:  Grace  Methodist,  Bur- 
:  lington;  Saint  Paul,  Burlington;  Trinity,  Sanford;  Aldersgate,  Durham;  Aldersgate, 
Chapel  Hill;  Eutaw  Village,  Fayetteville;  Stacy  Methodist  at  Stacy;  Cherry  Point  Meth- 
odist at  Havelock;  Wynnewood  Park  and  Six  Forks  Methodist,  Raleigh;  Hart  Mill 
;  Methodist  at  Tarboro,  and  Devon  Park  at  Wilmington. 

I  During  the  year  the  board  has  also  assisted  in  the  construction  of  17  new  parson- 
}  ages.  Five  of  these  were  for  new  churches,  and  the  others  primarily  for  newly  formed 
[charges.  More  than  $16, .500  has  been  contributed  for  this  work — twelve  churches  have 
i  been  assisted  in  building  programs,  or  expanding  their  present  facilities,  in  addition  to 
I  six  which  shared  in  the  Ten  Dollar  Club  funds.  The  twelve  received  assistance  in  excess 
iof  $20,000  from  Church  Extension  funds  administered  by  the  Board  of  Missions.  Assist- 
;ance  has  also  been  given  in  acquiring  lots  for  the  location  of  churches  in  some  stra- 
jtegic  places.  This  was  made  possible  by  use  of  the  loan  fund  approved  by  the  last 
1  annual  conference.  The  Ten  Dollar  Club  has  assisted  six  new  churches  in  constructing 
;  their  first  building  unit,  contributing  more  than  $100,000  to  these  young  churches.  We 
;\vish  to  express  our  thanks  to  the  more  than  5,000  laymen  and  ministers  who  have 
'joined  this  club  to  give  incentive  to  this  work,  and  for  their  spirit  of  "Forward  wath 
•Christ"  through  church  extension.  We  urge  our  pastors  to  activate  local  church  com- 
jmittees  to  maintain  membership  in  the  Ten  Dollar  Club,  and  to  enlist  new  converts 
[to  this  great  cause.  Because  of  the  unusual  need  existing  in  the  Havelock  military  com- 
munity, our  Conference  last  year  authorized  a  special  Christmas  offering  for  Havelock 
Methodist  Church.  We  are  glad  to  report  that  approximately  $13,000  was  contributed  to 
ilhis  cause,  and  it  has  been  a  blessing  to  the  church.  Plans  are  now  under  way  for  the 
•construction  of  their  new  educational  addition. 

This  year  we  have  been  able  to  attain  a  quadrennial  goal  of  a  minimum  salary  scale 
m  $3,000  for  single  ministers;  $3,300  for  married  ministers  without  children;  and  $3,600 
for  married  men  with  children,  provided  this  man  is  an  approved  supply  or  conference 
member.  If  he  is  not  an  approved  supply  he  shall  be  considered  by  the  Board  as  a  spe- 
cial case,  and  minimum  salary  rules  do  not  necessarily  apply  in  his  case. 

We  recommend  that  Sunday,  October  14,  be  designated  as  Church  Extension  Sunday, 
(ikI  request  the  district  superintendents  to  constitute  at  the  first  quarterly  conference  a 
Ten  Dollar  Club  committee  in  each  local  church  to  work  with  the  chairman  of  the 
Commission  on  Missions  in  securing  new  members  of  the  Ten  Dollar  Club,  and  the 
collection  of  delinquent  payments;  and  that  a  member  of  the  WSCS  be  included  on 
':his  committee.  The  names  and  addresses  of  this  committee  should  be  forwarded  imme- 
diately to  Rev.  Thomas  A.  Collins,  Executive  Secretary,  920  Lake  Boone  Trail,  Ra- 
leigh, N.  C. 

In  the  light  of  the  man>-  calls  upon  this  Board  for  building  assistance,  and  in  view 
if  the  number  of  new  churches  organized  this  quadrennium,  we  recognize  that  major 
ncreases  must  be  made  in  funds  available  to  this  Board  for  these  purposes.  Therefore, 
,A'e  recommend  that  the  item  of  Church  Extension  be  increased  substantially  subject  to 
the  approval  of  the  Commission  of  World  Service  and  Finance.  We  request  that  the 
Apportionment,  which  this  year  is  4''  of  "total  money  raised"  be  increased  to  the  equiva- 

Ient  of  10%  of  '^total  money  raised." 
We  have  made  an  excellent  record  in  the  number  of  mission  specials  carried.  We 
ire  now  holding  third  place  among  all  American  conferences.  We  want  to  maintain,  and 
f  possible  increase  these  specials.  The  Board  approves  as  Advance  Mission  Specials  the 
bllowing:  Conference  specials:  All  new  churches  organized  during  this  quadrennium  of 
952-1956,  including  the  parsonages  of  these  new  churches;  the  Bethany  (Portuguese) 


156  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

Mission  of  the  Rocky  Mount  District;  Longhurst  Methodist  Church;  Sunset  Park  Church, 
Wihnington;  the  Scholarship  fund  set  up  to  assist  in  the  training  of  Directors  of  Reh- 
gious  Education.  The  Foreign  Student  Aid  Fund  for  all  our  Methodist  colleges  in  North 
Carolina  (Assisting  foreign  students  who  come  to  this  country  for  study).  (If  a  church 
is  carrying  a  direct  gift  special  for  a  local  church  it  should  secure  the  proper  blank 
from  Mr.  Cowell  and  fill  it  in  accordingly  in  order  to  get  credit  as  a  special.)  General  I 
Specials:  The  Caravan  Methodist  Church  of  Linz,  Austria.  The  new  Alaska  College.  The 
Methodist  Church  in  Sorocaba,  Brazil,  with  which  Rev.  C.  B.  Dawsey  is  working.  Dis- 
trict Specials:  Ed  Smith,  J.  W.  Garrison,  and  Linwood  Blackburn. 

We  urge  the  support  of  the  district  mission  institutes  to  be  held,  and  commend  the 
study  book  to  be  used.  Churches  should  encourage  large  attendance  at  these  institutes 
this  fall.  We  suggest  that  each  church  adopt  a  mission  special,  either  district,  conference, 
or  foreign.  Our  Conference  Missionary  Secretary,  Rev.  Mark  W.  Lawrence,  has  done 
d  good  job  in  promoting  these  specials,  for  which  we  are  grateful  to  him. 

The  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Serv'ce  is  doing  a  fine  work  in  this  field.  They 
give  expression  of  their  faith  in  missions  through  their  deeds.  We  also  commend  the 
several  district  mission  secretaries  for  the  good  work  they  have  done  in  promoting  the 
cause  of  missions  in  their  respective  districts.  The  Board  is  again  assisting  in  sending 
nine  young  people  (one  from  each  district)  to  the  Missionary  Conference  at  Lake  ; 
Junaluska. 

Rev.  T-  W.  Lineberger,  one  of  our  district  missionary  secretaries  and  a  member  of 
tliis  board,  is  this  year  leading  the  European  Caravan  group.  They  are  now  in  Europe  : 
working  with  churches  and  young  people  in  strengthening  their  churches.  Dr.  Joseoh 
Baitak  of  Austria  has  said  it  is  the  North  Carolina  Caravan  that  has  made  possible  the  i 
Methodist  Church  in  Austria.  We  reconunend  that  this  program  be  continued. 

The  North  Carolina  Christian  Advocate  renders  a  fine  service  to  Methodism  in  our

We  suggest  tlie  months  of  January  and  February  as  "Advocate  Month."  We  also  recom- 
mend a  larger  circulation  of  World  Outlook  in  our  conference.

GUARANTEE  FUND 

The  Section  of  Church  Extension  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  has  beei 
for  some  time  aware  of  an  acute  need  for  funds  to  be  made  available  to  rural  anc| 
small  town  churches  for  the  purposes  of  new  construction,  whether  new  sanctuary  oi 
educational  addition.  There  is  a  great  difficulty  in  these  churches  making  arrangemenf 
for  mortgage  loans  in  this  field. 


Journal  of  Proceedings 


157 


After  much  study  o\er  a  period  of  months,  we  have  been  encouraged  to  beheve  that 
funds  up  to  a  total  of  (ji  1,000,000  can  possibly  be  made  available  for  loans  of  this  charac- 
ter under  the  following  conditions; 

1.  That  this  Board,  or  its  designated  agency,  arrange  a  fund  to  guarantee  such  loans 
when  recommended  and  appro\  ed  by  the  section  of  Church  Extension  of  this  conference. 

2.  Ihe  amount  needed  to  guarantee  loans  up  to  $1,000,000  would  probably  be 
."i!200,000. 

3.  Ihis  might  be  arranged  step  by  step  over  a  period  of  five  years  in  blocks  of 
$40,000  to  guarantee  $200,000  in  mortgage  loans  each  year. 

^  4.  Some  agreement  would  be  made  to  provide  for  some  earnings  on  this  guarantee 
\  fund  and  on  the  other  hand  loans  in  default  after  an  agreed  period  would  be  charged 
j  against  the  guarantee  fund. 

5.  No  single  church  might  borrow  in  excess  of  $50,000  under  this  plan  and  the 
period  of  the  loan  would  be  lim.ted  to  approximately  10  years. 

6.  Other  conditions  should  be  that  the  borrowing  church  have  in  hand  50%  or  more 
of  the  estimated  total  project   cost. 

Your  Board  of  Missions  requests  endorsement  of  this  plan  in  principle  and  tlie 
authority  to  negotiate  details  of  the  plan  with  the  hope  of  being  ready  to  put  the  plan 
into  action  immediately  following  next  Annual  Conference  if  approved  by  that  body. 

We  respectfully  request  that  the  Commission  on  \\'orld  Service  and  Finance  allocate 
from  undesignated  Benevolence  Funds  for  the  coming  year  such  an  amount  as  may  in 
their  judgment  be  a\ailable  not  to  exceed  $40,000  per  year,  to  achieve  a  maximum 
goal  of  $200,000.

160  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

CONFERENCE  BOARD  OF  PENSIONS  p613 

Report  No,  1 

We  call  attention  to  the  fact  that,  due  to  General  Conference  action,  this  board, 
formerly  known  as  "The  Board  of  Conterence  Claimants,"  will  become  the  "Conference 
Board  of  Pensions." 

For  the  support  of  our  conference  claimants  during  the  year  1956-1957,  we  recom- 
mend an  apportionment  on  the  churches  of  an  amount  equal  to  167o  of  the  salaries  of 
the  preachers  and  their  assistants.  We  also  recommend  that  the  annuity  rate  be  $46.00 
per  service  year  for  retired  preachers,  including  the  retired  approved  supply  preachers 
who  have  served  at  least  ten  full-time  years. 

The  names,  addesses  and  years  of  service  of  our  conference  claimants,  including  the 
dependent  children,  will  appear  in  the  Conference  Journal.   The  conference  claimants 
who  have  died  during  the  year  are:  Orren  W.  Dowd,  hthelbert  L.  Hill,  James  M.  Jolliff,   , 
W.  A.  Parsons,  Mrs.  James  H.  Buffaloe,  Mrs.  Charles  O.  Durant,  Mrs.  James  G.  Johnson,  , 
Mrs.  William  C.  Merritt,  Mrs.  Julian  Midgette,  and  Mrs.  Samuel  T.  Moyle. 

We  call  attention  to  Report  No.  3,  page  115  of  the  1955  journal,  recommending  the   ; 
observance  of  a  "Veterans  of  the  Cross  Day"  in  every  charge  on  the  third  Sunday  in 
September.  We  strongly  urge  that  this  program  be  observed  the  day  designated  on  the  : 
conference  calendar,    lour   Conference   Board  of  Pensions  will  prepare   and   distribute 
literature  and  information  to  be  used  for  this  program. 

Ihe  board  recommends  that  the  honorarium  of  the  secretary  of  the  Conference  Board  | 
of  Pensions  remain  at  $300.00  and  that  his  expense  account  be  submitted  to  the  confer-   " 
ence  treasurer. 

This  board  again  urges  that  the  Conference  look  with  favor  toward  setting  up  a  plan 
by  which  the  preachers  may  share  in  their  pension  program. 

Report  No.  2 

CONCERNING  CHANCES  IN  THE  CONSTITUTION  OF  THE  MINISTERS' 

RETIREMENT  FUND 

Your  Conference  Board  of  Pensions  recommends  the  following  changes  in  tlie  con- 
stitution of  the  Ministers'  Retirement  Fund: 

First,  change  the  first  sentence  of  the  section  titled  "Assessments"  to  read:  Each 
member  shall  pay  into  the  fimd  one  per  cent  (1%)  of  all  money  he  receives  each  year 
from  charge  or  conference  sources  (this  includes  salary,  minimum  salary  fund,  Duke 
Endowment,  and  missionary  sources). 

Second,  add  at  the  end  of  the  section  titled  "Eligibility  for  Membership"  the  fol- 
lowing sentence:  Eligible  ministers  may  join  the  fund  at  any  time  although  no  member 
shall  be  eligible  for  di\'idends  until  he  has  been  a  member  in  good  standing  for  ten  years. 

Report  No.  3 

CONCERNING   TAXABILITY   OF   PENSION  PLAN   AND  RETIREMENT 

FUND  INCOME 

The  Conference  Board  of  Pensions  presents  the  ruling  from  the  Attorney  General's 
office  concerning  taxablity  of  pension  plan  and  retirement  fund  income.  Following  the 
inquiry  of  our  conference  treasurer  concerning  this  matter,  we  have  received  the  follow- 
ing ruling  from  William  B.  Rodman,  Jr.,  Attorney  General,  passing  his  decision  on  para- 
graph 5  of  G.  S.  105-142  (Sec.  318  of  the  Revenue  Code).  Mr.  Rodman  states: 

"As  to  the  payments  received  from  the  Pension  Plan,  whether  received  by  tlie 
retiring  minister  or  by  his  beneficiary,  these  payments  should  be  reported  in  full 
for  purposes  of  the  State  income  tax  law. "  This  is  due  to  the  fact  that  the  minister 
makes  no  contribution   under  the  Pension  Plan. 

"As  to  the  payments  received  from  the  Retirement  Fund,  whether  received  by 
the  minister  personally  or  by  his  beneficiary,  if  the  payment  is  in  a  lump  sum, 
only  that  portion  of  the  payment  which  is  in  excess  of  the  amount  contributed  to 
the  Retirement  Fund  by  the  Minister  will  be  taxable.  If  the  payment  from  the 
Retirement  Fund  is  received  periodically,  over  a  number  of  years,  the  amount 
received  annually  will  be  taxable  as  an  annuity,  'to  tlie  extent  of  three  per  cent 
(3%)  of  the  amount  of  such  contributions,  until  the  excess  of  receipts  over  and 
above  the  portion  thus  taxable  as  an  annuity  shall  equal  the  total  contributions,  at 
which  time  all  receipts  thereafter  recei\'ed  shall  be  annually  taxable.'  "

members: 

1.  If  within  five  years  of  becoming  a  participating  member,  an  approved  supply  is 
not  given  work,  he  shall  be  paid  the  amount  he  has  paid  into  the  fund  plus  one-half  the

nate his  membership. 

2.  If  an  approved  supply  member  has  served  five  years  but  less  than  ten  years  since

Board  of  Conference  Claimants 


Journal  of  Proceedings  163 


This  Resolution  Is  Presented  to 

Brother  John  A.  Staton 

Who  for  thirt)'  years  served  with  distinction  the  cause 
of  retired  ministers  in  the  North  CaroHna  Conference  of 
the  Methodist  Church.  Brother  Staton  was  appointed  to 
the  Board  of  Conference  Claimants  in  1926  and  served 
continuously  until  his  retirement  at  the  annual  conference 
held  in  Greenville,  N.  C,  in  June,  1956.  For  twenty-two 
vears  he  was  Chairman  of  the  Board. 

The  Methodist  Church,  the  North  Carolina  Conference, 
the  ministers  who  have  retired,  and  especially  those  min- 
isters who  will  retire  in  future  years  owe  Brother  Staton  a 
debt  of  gratitude.  He  fought  fearlessly,  tirelessly,  and  en- 
thusiastically for  the  present  fine  retirement  program  for 
the  superannuates  of  Methodism. 

In  testimony  of  our  warm  feeling  for  Brother  Staton  and 
as  a  salute  to  his  fruitful  career  of  service  to  his  church, 
this  scroll  is  given.

170  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

BOARD  OF  TEMPERANCE  p541 

Work  against  liquor  in  our  North  Carolina  Conference  has  increased  during  1955-56 
as  compared  with  previous  years.  There  have  been  more  activities  and  better  activities 
against  liquor  on  the  district  level  and  in  local  churches.  However,  in  spite  of  these 
increased  activities,  the  sale  of  liquor  continues  to  increase,  and  the  tragic  results  of 
drinking  continue  to  increase.  And  your  Conference  Board  of  Temperance  urges  all-out 
efforts  against  this  nefarious  business.  And  your  Board  urges  greatly  increased  action 
along  every  possible  line,  including  the  following  special  activities. 

1.  This  is  an  election  year.  We  should  elect  legislators,  who  will  enact  laws  against 
liquor,  and  judges  and  other  public  officials,  who  will  enforce  laws  against  liquor. 

2.  We  should  urge  the  1957  General  Assembly  to  enact  a  statute  providing  for  a 
Statewide  Referendum. 

3.  Our  efforts  should  be  increased  along  educational  lines,  including  instruction  in  our 
homes,  our  public  schools,  our  colleges  and  our  Sunday  Schools;  and  including  effective 
material  in  newspapers,  magazines  and  in  programs  on  radio  and  television. 

4.  Pastors,  district  secretaries  and  other  leaders  should  utilize  our  Methodist  fihn, 
"Far  From  Alone,"  and  other  effective  methods  of  presenting  this  cause. 

5.  Our  North  Carolina  Cpiristian  Advocate  and  other  church  papers  should  pub- 
lish more  material  against  the  sale  and  use  of  liquor. 

6.  District  superintendents  and  district  secretaries  should  make  sure  that  this  cause 
is  fully  and  effectively  presented  during  district  conferences  and  in  all  other  district 
meetings. 

(a)  We  recommend  that  a  workshop  on  alcohol  education  be  arranged  for  ever)' 
district  in  the  North  Carolina  Conference,  with  plans  formulated  by  the  Board  of  Tem- 
perance, district  secretaries,  in  co-operation  with  the  district  superintendents,  and  that 
this  be  done  at  the  earliest  possible  date. 

(b)  That  Dr.  Hooten,  of  our  General  Board,  be  invited  to  conduct  such  workshops. 
( He  has  already  indicated  that  he  would  like  to  be  with  us. ) 

(c)  That  we  will  give  our  all-out  support  to  legislation  against  the  high-pressure 
advertisement  of  alcoholic  beverages  on  a  national  level.  There  is  a  better  than  50-50 
chance,  we  believe,  of  passing  this  bill,  if  we  will  write  letters  or  send  telegrams  to  its 
sponsors  and  our  representatives  in  Congress. 

(d)  That  we  endorse  Dr.  Russell  Dick's  book,  "From  Isolation  to  Acceptance."  This 
is  a  handbook  for  helping  alcoholics.  Chapter  titles  are:  Can  the  Alcoholics  Be  Helped? 
Highways  to  Alcoholism;  Helping  the  Alcoholic  Family;  How  to  Counsel  the  Alcoholic. 

We  not  only  commend  this  book,  but  we  recommend  that  this  slender  volume  be 
placed  in  the  hands  of  all  Board  members  and  district  secretaries,  and  consider  the 
advisability  of  mailing  copies  to  all  ministers  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference. 

7.  Pastors  should  recommend  only  total  abstainers  as  members  of  the  official  board 
and  other  places  of  leadership  in  our  Sunday  Schools  and  churches. 

8.  Pastors  and  other  church  leaders  should  co-operate  with  the  Allied  Church  League, 
the  Women's  Christian  Temperance  Union  and  all  other  organizations  that  are  working 
against  liquor.  And  we  urge  co-operation  with  another  organization,  Alcoholics  Anony- 
mous, that  is  doing  splendid  work  throughout  North  Carolina  and  America.  There  is  one 
or  more  units  of  Alcoholics  Anonymous  in  practically  every  community  in  North  Car- 
olina. In  many  communities,  they  need  a  place  in  which  to  hold  their  weekly  and  semi- 
weekly  meetings;  and  we  recommend  that  our  pastors  co-operate  in  providing  meeting 
places  for  AA  groups.  We  recommend  also  that  all  pastors  and  other  church  leaders 
familiarize  themselves  with  the  program  of  Alcoholics  Anonymous;  that  they  invite 
qualified  speakers  from  this  organization  to  address  Sunday  School  classes  and  other 
groups  in  our  churches;  and  we  recommend  that  our  pastors  and  other  members  co-oper- 
ate fully  with  the  local  units  of  Alcoholics  Anonymous. 

9.  District  superintendents,  district  secretaries  and  pastors  should  support  fully  and 
participate  effectively  in  the  observation  of  World  Temperance  Sunday  on  the  last  Sun- 
day in  October  of  each  year  and  Commitment  Day  on  the  first  Sunday  in  December  in 
each  year. 

10.  Pastors  should  preach  often  against  the  use  of  beer,  wine  and  whiskey.  This 
preaching  should  not  be  apologetic.  It  should  be  soul  searching.  It  should  come  from  a 
mind  that  is  well  informed  and  a  heart  that  is  aflame  with  a  desire  for  the  saving  of 
human  bodies  and  the  salvation  of  eternal  souls.  Our  pastors  should  recognize  the  vital 
fact  that  the  supreme  issue  is  moral  and  spiritual.  Of  course,  liquor  enters  and  causes 
injury  in  every  human  sphere,  economics,  health,  politics  and  public  morals;  and  facts 
should  be  presented  to  show  the  harm  that  liquor  does  in  every  aspect  of  man's  life;  but 
pastors  and  other  leaders  must  remember  always  that  the  supreme  issue  is  moral  and 


Journal  of  Proceedings  171 

spiritual.  It  a  person  has  been  reborn,  if  a  person  is  Christ-controlled,  he  will  not  make 
liquor;  he  will  not  sell  or  vote  for  the  sale  of  liquor;  and  he  will  not  drink  liquor. 

Today  there  are  many  things  that  are  impairing  the  influence  of  our  church;  and  the 
liquor  traffic  is  one  of  the  forces  that  is  helping  to  destroy  everything  for  which  our 
Church  stands.  The  liquor  traffic  would  destroy  the  Church,  if  it  could;  the  Church 
could  destroy  the  liquor  traffic,  if  it  would.  Hence,  every  person,  who  is  interested  in 
the  Church,  should  use  his  influence,  his  means  and  his  vote  against  the  liqour  traffic. 
This  Conference  appeals  to  all  pastors  and  all  church  members  that  they  increase  and 
make  more  effective  their  opposition  to  this  nefarious  business.  As  individuals,  we  Meth- 
odists should  abstain  absolutely  from  the  use  of  alcoholic  beverages.  As  members  of 
society,  we  should  vote  and  work  to  outlaw  the  liquor  traffic.  The  attitude  and  the 
practice  of  individuals  should  be  total  abstinence.  The  attitude  and  policy  of  government 
should  be  aljsolute  prohibition.  And  to  the  achievement  of  total  abstinence  and  absolute 
prohibition,  we  rededicate  our  efforts  and  our  lives.

POLICY 

Recent   research   in  the  field  of  membership   and   evangelism,   by   Bishop   Paul    N. 

arber,  reveals  a  record  of  low  annual  net  increase  in  church  membership  in  the  Annual 
Conference.  Frontier  Again,  1954,  Walston  and  Nickens,  shows  that  with  time  tide  has 
umed  and  the  North  Carolina  Conference  area  is  again  the  frontier  of  the  state.  Look 
'It  the  People,  1955,  Chambers,  gives  detailed  information  on  the  very  considerable 
liopulation  growth  and  the  shift  in  the  North  Carolina  Conference  area.  These  and  other 
[vorks  of  research  have  made  evident  the  need  and  opportunity  for  an  enterprising  spirit, 
policy,  and  program  on  the  part  of  the  Annual  Conference  during  the  new  quadrennium, 
■md  afterwards. 

I  A  great  program  of  rehabilitation  and  expansion  in  all  areas  of  work  must  be  carried 
forward  in  the  years  ahead.  The  Conference  will  need  to  mobilize  its  total  resources  in 
)rder  to  provide  a  ministry  of  adequate  scope  and  effectiveness  to  the  people  residing 
today  and  tomorrow  in  eastern  North  Carolina.  Much  imagination,  inventiveness,  and 
(imagineering"  will  be  required.  Capable  long-range  planning,  extensively  and  locally, 
jvill  be  essential.  Many  leaders,  conference  and  local,  will  need  to  stretch  their  minds. 
View  lifting  levers  will  have  to  be  found.  Renewal  of  Wesleyan  evangeHstic  spirit  will  be 
jiecessary.  Flowing-from-within  energies  must  be  released,  and  up-from-the-roots  pro- 
'edures  devised.  Creative  church  craftsmanship  will  be  called  for. 

:  In  the  field  of  creative  church  craftsmanship,  the  Commission  on  Town  and  Country 
'Vork  has  a  very  definite  responsibility.  The  Discipline  commits  to  the  Commission  the 
^ork  to  ''outline  a  program  of  town  and  country  work  to  the  participating  boards  and 
jgencies." 

1  Preceding  such  a  general  outline  it  is  in  order  to  present  a  statement  of  riu-al  church 
-olicy.  The  rural  church  policy  of  The  Methodist  Church  is  given  in  Discipline,  1952, 

020  (10),  and  in  accord  with  this  the  ensuing  is  presented  as  a  statement  of  Annual 
fonference  policy.

lould  therefore  have  in  our  North  Carolina  Conference  a  rural  church  program  of  the 
ighest  possible  type  and  really  be  leaders  in  rural  church  work  not  only  in  eastern  North

172  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

"The  Conference  would  be  wise  in  making  a  large  investment  of  prayer,  thought, 
research,  planning,  money,  and  work  in  rebuilding  and  developing  its  root  system  (rural 
churches).  Such  would  bear  abundant  fruit  for  time  and  eternity."  {Look  at  the  Roots, 
1955,  Taylor,  p.  13.)

"We  recognize  the  fact  that  the  rural  areas  are  the  fountain  heads  of  resources  in 
terms  of  leadership,  population,  religious  and  economic  life,  and  that  many  of  these 
areas  are  now  suffering  religious  and  cultural  depletion. 

"This  fact  calls  for  an  awakened  church  consciousness  of  the  significance  of  the  rural 
community,  issuing  in  a  growing  statesmanship  and  strategy  that  will  develop  rehgious 
institutions  adeciuate  to  create  and  conserve  the  religious  and  cultural  values  in  rural 
community  life. 

"The  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  of  The  Methodist  Church  recognizes  the 
basic  significance  of  the  rural  church  to  the  total  life  of  the  church,  and  recognizes  the 
gradual  decline  in  strength  of  the  rural  church,  and  regrets  the  inadequate  policy  here- 
tofore pursued  with  reference  to  it.  Therefore,  the  Conference  does  at  this  time  commit 
itself  to  the  policy  of  mobilizing  its  total  resources  to  provide  a  ministry  of  adequate 
scope  and  effectiveness  to  the  rural  people  of  our  Conference  area."  (Journal,  1947,

CHURCH  EXTENSION 

A 

Competent  sociological  studies  indicate  that  the  population  of  North  Carolina  will 
double  between  the  years  1950  and  2003. 

Look  at  the  People,  1955,  Chambers,  a  statistical  study  of  population  resources  and 
trends  in  the  North  Carolina  Conference  area,  shows  the  what  and  the  where  as  to  tht 
"flight  to  Suburbia"  which  is  on  all  across  the  Conference  area.  From  this  and  other 
studies  it  is  evident  that  the  church  extension  program  should  contemplate  the  organi- 
zation of  a  total  of  200  new  churches  by  the  year  1965. 

Under  the  heading,  "The  duties  of  a  district  superintendent,"  Discipline,  1952, 
362  (15),  the  following  is  noted:  "To  promote  all  the  interests  of  the  Church  within 
the  bounds  of  his  district,  in  co-operation  with  the  pastors  and  the  quarterly  conferences, 
giving  particular  attention  to  the  following:  .  .  .  (c)  Establishment  of  new  preaching 
places  and  organization  of  new  congregations  wherever  needed." 

B 

The  United  States  Census  of  Population  divides  the  population  into  three  categories: 
urban,  rural-farm,  and  rural-nonfarm. 

In  the  North  Carolina  Conference  area  the  (white)  rural-nonfarm  category  is  thi 
largest  and  fastest  growing.  About  100  newly  organized  churches  will  be  needed  withiri 
the  next  few  years  to  serve  the  people  reflected  in  this  census  category.  Many  of  these 
new  churches  could  be  based  on  needed  relocations. 

The  state  of  North  Carolina  has  recently  completed  a  county  paving  prograii 
v/hich  is  without  parallel  in  the  South.  In  eastern  North  Carolina  more  new  homes  ar< 
being  built  on  the  county  roads  and  state  highways  than  in  the  urban  areas. 

Church  extension  in  the  rural  areas  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  is  highly  ini 
portant,  not  only  because  of  population  shift  to  and  growth  in  these  areas,  but  alsi 
because  many  thousands  of  the  town  and  city  dwellers  of  the  future  will  have  been  bori 
and  reared  in  rural  areas.  The  future  of  North  Carolina  Conference  Methodism  lie 
in  the  rural  Sunday  schools  to  a  very  considerable  degree. 

The  Annual  Conference,  and  the  Board  of  Missions,  are  respectfully  requested  to  givi 
top  priority  to  rural  church  extension  during  the  new  quadrennium,  and  adoption  o 
this  report  records  concurrence  with  such  a  policy  and  proposed  procedure. 

C 

The  recent  research  in  the  field  of  membership  and  evangelism  in  the  Annual  Con 
ference,  by  Bishop  Paul  N.  Garber,  is  now  A  matter  of  general  information  and  conceri:| 
The  problem  revealed  by  Bishop  Garber's  research  has  many  root  causes.  A  major  roc! 
cause  is  the  fact  that  233  or  more  of  the  rural  (root)  churches  are  in  one  stage  or  anoth* 
of  decline,  and  of  these  25  or  more  are  at  the  point  of  closing. 


Journal  of  Proceedings  173 

Country  Church  Ladder,  1956,  Tyson,  gives  chart  and  documentation  with  regard 
3  542  circuit  churches  studied,  classifying  individual  churches  as  to  whether  growing, 
tagnant,  or  in  decHne. 

The  Annual  Conference  and  the  several  agencies  are  requested  to  give  immediate 
ttention  to  the  problem  of  declining  rural  churches,  looking  to  an  analysis  and  progres- 
ive  solution  of  this  particular  root  cause  of  low  annual  net  increase  of  men>bersliip. 

A  careful  case  study  should  be  done  for  each  of  the  declining  churches,  beginning  at 
he  bottom  of  the  "Ladder"  and  working  up,  with  a  view  to  finding  a  solution  in  each 
ase. 

D 

The  district  superintendents  recently  made  a  survey  to  discover  how  many  one-room 
hutches  there  are  in  the  Conference.  Reports  came  from  eight  districts  giving  a  total  of 
2,  with  an  average  per  district  of  11.5.  Based  on  the  average,  the  Conference  total 
ine  one-room  churches  would  be  103.5.  These  churches  are  just  one  step  from  the 
Irush  arbor,  and  from  the  standpoint  of  present  day  procedures  as  to  Christian  educa- 
!ion,  are  very  inefficient  and  ineffective. 

j  This  survey  also  considered  the  number  of  "Churches  of  more  than  one-room,  but 
paving  less  than  five  class  rooms."  The  reported  total  of  these  churches,  for  eight  dis- 
p'cts,  is  150. 

;  It  is  probable  that  many  of  the  one-room  and  near  one-room  churches  are  among 
he  233  declining  churches  mentioned  in  section  C  of  this  report. 

The  Annual  Conference  and  the  several  agencies  are  requested  to  give  prompt  and 
ionstructive  attention  to  this  problem  of  the  one-room  and  near  one-room  church,  which 
li  probably  a  part  of  the  cause  of  the  declining  church  problem.

CHURCH  EXTENSION  RESEARCH,  PLANNING,  AND  SURVEY  COMMITTEE 

i  Because  of  the  fact  that  the  rural  church  is  so  involved,  potentially,  in  the  church 
Ixtension  enterprise,  the  following  report  is  presented  by  the  Commission  on  Town  and 
Country  Work. 

Competent  sociological  studies  indicate  that  the  population  of  North  Carolina  will 
oublc  between  the  years  1950  and  2003.  Progressive  change  is  being  accelerated  by 
fiany  new  dynamics  operating  in  the  state.  Eastern  North  Carolina  is  again  the  frontier 

If  the  state.  Competent  research,  wise  planning,  and  careful  survey  are  necessary  if 
"he  Methodist  Church  is  to  expand  rapidly,  wisely,  and  adequately  in  the  North  Carolina 
Conference  area. 

,  The  1955  Journal,  p.  19,  lists  the  "Conference  Church  Extension  Survey  Committee." 
j^he  request  is  hereby  made  that  the  committee  be  continued  as  a  conference  quadren- 
ial  committee,  and  that  the  name  be  changed  to — "Church  Extension  Research,  Plan- 
ling,  and  Survey  Committee." 

,  Further,  it  is  requested  that  the  Conference  continue  the  annual  appropriations  to 
pis  committee  in  the  present  amount  or  more  as  needed. 

I  Further,  that  the  nature  of  the  work  of  the  committee  be  that  as  described  by  the 
iroposed  new  name,  that  is,  to  chart  the  course  of  church  extension,  both  extensively 
nd  locally,  in  a  scholarly  and  efficient  manner. 

)  Further,  that  this  committee  would  employ  such  full-time  personnel  as  needed,  and 
rovide  the  necessary  facilities  for  effective  work.  The  nature  of  the  work  of  the  princi- 
al  person  employed  would  be  similar  to  that  of  the  city  planner  as  used  by  many  of 
le  larger  cities. 

Further,  it  would  be  the  work  of  the  principal  person  employed  to  conduct  in  a 
jonstant,  creative,  and  effecti\e  manner,  a  conference-wide  enterprise  of  information 
|,nd  selling  as  to  church  extension  needs  and  opportunities. 

,  Further,  that  this  committee  would  co-operate  closely  and  constantly  with  the  Con- 
prence  Board  of  Missions  and  all  other  conference  agencies. 

I     In  order  to  acquire   current  information   on   economic   and   sociological   trends   and 
evelopments,   that   the   church   extension    enterprise   be   charted   wisely    and   well,   the 
ommittee  would  enlist  the  co-operation  of  all  organizations  and  agencies  having  suc»al 
ifonnation  available.  Among  such  agencies  are:    North   Carolina   State  Department  aral 
Conservation  and  Development;  North  Carolina  State  Highway  and  Public  Works  Cc 
mission;   Chambers   of  Commerce;   Ormond  Fund  of  Duke   University;    Department  s  of

Report  No.  4 
GROUP   MINISTRY 

Provision  for  group  ministry  procedure  is  given  in  Discipline,  1952,  362  (15i),  under 

the  heading  of  "The  duties  of  a  district  superintendent,"  and  in  the  JDiscipline  of  1956. 

The  Group  Ministry  is  the  Methodist  connectional  system  carried  down  to  the  grass 

roots  level  of  work,  and  is  thereby  a  cell  approach.  Also,  it  is  a  sell  approach  as  it  uses 

a  methodology  of  consultation  and  cultivation,  rather  than  compulsion. 

The  need  for  this  co-operative  and  up-from-the-roots  procedure  in  this  Annual 
Conference  is  made  evident  by  the  low  annual  net  increase  in  church  membership  in 
the  Conference,  the  large  annual  net  increase  in  white  population  in  the  Conference 
area,  the  very  considerable  population  shift  process,  and  the  rapidity  of  general  sociologi- 
cal change. 

The  administrative  unit  for  this  work  shall  be  defined  as  each  of  the  56  counties 
within  the  bounds  of  the  Annual  Conference. 

The  bishop,  and  the  district  superintendents,  are  respectfully  requested  to  arrange 
district  lines  as  to  correspond  with  county  lines. 

Hereafter,  as  the  "Conference  Master-plan  of  Circuits  and  Stations"  {Journal,  1954, 
pp.  152-3),  is  progressively  executed,  each  circuit  shall  be  completely  within  a  given 
county,  and  where  possible  within  a  given  high  school  district. 

The  members  of  each  county  group  ministry  shall  be  the  district  superintendent, 
pastors,  and  charge  lay  leaders,  serving  all  churches  within  a  given  county.  To  these 
may  be  added  such  persons  as  may  seem  wise  in  each  case.  The  group  as  constituted 
shall  be  called  the  County  Council.  The  chairman  of  the  group  should  be  a  competent 
leader.  The  Group  Ministry,  a  pamphlet  available  from  the  Division  of  National  Missions 
of  The  Methodist  Church  may  be  used  in  general  as  a  guide  for  organization  and  pro- 
cedure. 

It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  county  group  ministry  to  assume  responsibility  for  the  I 
advancement  of  the  total  work  of  The  Methodist  Church  over  the  entire  county.  Thus, 
neglected  areas  of  work  would  receive  constructive  attention,  and  the  "no  man's  land" 
pockets  between  charges  would  be  eliminated.  Also,  it  shall  be  the  work  of  each  count) 
group  ministry  to  employ,  supervise  the  work  of,  secure  finances  for,  and  provide 
necessary  facilities  for,  one  or  more  properly  trained  full-time  Directors  of  Christian 
Education  for  each  county,  or  practicable  combination  of  counties. 

The  immediate  and  specific  work  of  each  county  group  ministry  would  be  to  deal 
creatively  with  the  areas  of  greatest  deficiency  and  need  in  conference  life  and  work. 
included  in  which  are: 

( 1 )  Renewal  of  Wesleyan  evangelistic  spirit 

(2)  Long-range  planning  on  the  county  and  local  level  (Journal,  1954,  p.  155  (V)  ' 

(3)  New  church  extension 

(4)  Logical  division  of  circuits,  in  accord  with  "Conference  Master-Plan  of  Circuit; 
and  Stations"  {Journal,  1954,  pp  152-3) 

(5)  Develop  declining  churches 

(6)  Improve  one-room  and  near  one-room  churches 

( 7 )  Relocation  of  churches  needing  such 

(8)  Locate  and  reopen  closed  churches  {Discipline,  1952,  362  (11)) 

(9)  Develop  the  strategically  important  small  rural  Sunday  schools 

( 10)  Reach  unchurched  children  and  youths

IMPLEMENTATIOiN  OF  "CONFERENCE  MASTER-PLAN  OF 
CIRCUITS  AND  STATIONS" 

The  proposal  that  the  Conference  progressively  develop  a  "Conference  Master-Plan 
of  Circuits  and  Stations"  was  approved  by  the  Annual  Conference  of  1954,  and  is 
recorded  in  the  Journal  of  that  year  on  pages  152-3.  It  is  recommended  that  this  action 
of  the  Conference  be  implemented  as  follows: 

1.  That  there  be  formed  a  quadrennial  "Annual  Conference  Committee  on  Master- 
Plan  of  Circuits  and  Stations,"  consisting  of  the  Bishop,  District  Superintendents,  Con- 
ference Lay  Leader,  District  Lay  Leaders,  Conference  Secretary  of  Town  and  Country 

I  Work,  and  the  District  Secretaries  of  Town  and  Country  Work.  This  committee  would 
be  organized  by  the  Bishop  and  cabinet. 

2.  That  there  be  formed  in  each  district  a  quadrennial  "District  Committee  on 
i  Master-Plan  of  Circuits  and  Stations,"  consisting  of  the  District  Superintendent,  District 
,Lay  Leader,  District  Secretary  of  Town  and  Country  Work,  plus  two  other  pastors  and 
.two  otlier  laymen.  Members  of  tliis  committee  would  be  representative  of  the  several 
.geographical  areas  of  the  district.  The  district  committees  would  be  established  by  the 
I  conference  committee. 

[  3.  The  "County  Group  Ministry"  is  provided  for  in  Commission  on  Town  and  Coun- 
:try  Work  report  No.  4,  1956.  One  of  its  functions  would  be  to  implement  on  the  county 
pevel,  the  work  of  the  "District  Committee  on  Master-Plan  of  Circuits  and  Stations." 

4.  That  the  conference  committee  meet  at  a  time  suitable  to  the  Bishop  following  the 
'session  of  the  Annual  Conference,  to  begin  work  on  a  layout  of  a  "Conference  Master- 
Plan  of  Circuits  and  Stations."

ROCKY  MOUNT  COLLEGE  DEPARTMENT  OF  TOWN  AND  COUNTRY  WORK 

j  It  is  evident  that  the  church  college  is  in  a  position  to  render  more  effectively  certain 
meeded  services  to  the  rural  churches,  than  is  any  other  agency. 

In  accord  with  poHcy  of  the  Division  of  National  Missions  of  The  Methodist  Church, 
and  in  accord  with  a  trend  in  Methodist  colleges  across  the  nation,  request  is  hereby 
•made  that  there  be  established  in  the  newly  authorized  college  at  Rocky  Mount,  a 
Department  of  Town  and  Country  Work.  This  would  be  a  department  of  the  college 
land  imder  college  administration. 

■  The  Department  of  Town  and  Country  Work  should  have  sufficient  personnel  to 
render  to  the  Conference  needed  services  which  would  include  at  least  the  following: 

i.  Provide  college  training,  and  counseling,  for  supply  pastors. 
,       2.  Provide  proper  training  for  lay  preachers,  perhaps  utihzing  in  this  regard   some 
k)f  the  ideas  and  procedures  in  use  by  the  Methodist  Church  in  England. 
I       3.  Provide  in-service  training  institutes  on  creative  parish  craftsmanship  for  all  rural 
pastors.  The  curriculum  would  be  designed  to  meet  the  basic  and  varied  needs  of  rural 
ipastors  for  training. 

>  4.  Provide  local  church  development  revivals,  designed  to  meet  the  specific  needs  of 
the  individual  rural  church.  The  design  of  each  local  church  development  revival  would 
grow  out  of  the  pastor's   participation   in  the  in-service  training   institutes   on   creative 

sh  craftsmanship.

176  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

5.  Provide  consultation  program  with  ministerial  students,  and  pastors,  in  the  interest 
of  enlistment  for  lifetime  rural  ministry. 

6.  Establish,   equip,    and   operate   an   office   for   rural  research.   The    research   work 
should  be  of  a  practical  nature  rather  than  a  technical  nature. 

7.  Conduct  spiritual  life  missions,  prayer  missions,  and  stewardship  missions  in  the 
rural  churches,  utilizing  college  students  in  this  ministry  where  and  when  practicable. 


The  Rocky  Mount  college  is  requested,  to  provide  proper  training  for  rural  deacon- 
esses, and  directors  of  Christian  education  who  would  serve  county-wide  areas.  Also, 
the  college  is  requested  to  offer  the  M.A.  degree  in  religion,  and  in  reUgious  education.

MISCELLANEOUS 

L  The  newly  constituted  Commission  on  Town  and  Country  Work  is  requested  to  a,^ 
point  district  secretaries  on  Town  and  Country  Work,  and  the  district  superintende  of 
are  requested  to  include  these  on  the  district  staffs.  )in- 

2.  Recent  research  reveals  that  the  average  pastoral  tenure  on  circuits  in  the  C<  of 
lerence  is  only  2.47  years.  This  is  one  of  the  basic  reasons  for  rural  church  weakne. 
The  district  superintendents  are  requested  to  give  thought  and  attention  to  this  problen 
that  the  average  pastoral  tenure  on  circuits  may  be  increased  to  at  least  4  years. 

3.  The  attention  of  the  district  superintendents  is  called  to  Discipline,  1952,  362  (7) 
which  has  to  do  with  deeds  for  church  property. 

4.  Appreciation  is  hereby  expressed  to  the  Conference  Board  of  Lay  Activities  for 
providing  the  "No  Silent  Pulpit"  program.  It  is  requested  that  this  progam  be  continued, 
and  with  an  adequate  training  program  for  the  lay  preachers. 

The  Conference  Board  of  Evangelisnt  is  respectfully  requested  to  give  creative 
tliought  and  leadership  with  regard  to  the  obviously  needed  renewal  of  Wesleyan 
evangelistic  spirit  in  the  Hfe  and  work  of  the  Conference. 

6.  In  accord  with  paragraph  1231  (4)  in  the  1952  Discipline  the  Commission  on 
Town  and  Country  Work  nominates  Ralph  Epps  for  office  of  Conference  Secretary  of 
Town  and  Country  Work. 

7.  The  Annual  Conference  is  hereby  requested  to  continue  the  Long-Range  Planning 
Committee  as  a  Conference  quadrennial  committee,  under  the  terms  of  the  establishing 
resolution  as  found  in  Journal,  1952,  p.  147,  paragraph  16.  ^ 

8.  The  Annual  Conference  is  requested  to  give  consideration  to  ways  and  means  of  i 
establishing  a  much  needed  information,  publicity,  and  public  relations  service. 

9.  The  newly  constituted  Commission  on  Town  and  Country  Work  is  requested  to 
consider  the  advisability  of  asking  the  Conference  for  an  administrative  official  for  Town 
and  Country  Work. 

10.  In  the  population  shift  process,  some  of  our  churches  are  being  surrounded  by 
Negro  residents.  The  Annual  Conference  is  requested  to  adopt  a  policy  and  procedure 
which,  when  advisable  and  acceptable,  will  transfer  by  sale  or  gift  church  property  thus 
involved  to  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  of  the  Central  Jurisdiction  of  The 
Methodist  Church. 

11.  The  several  agents  and  agencies  of  the  Annual  Conference  have  records  which 
are  valuable  and  should  be  permanently  preserved.  The  1952  Discipline,  in  paragraphs 
637  and  661,  recognizes  the  importance  of  an  Annual  Conference  having  an  archives.' 

The  new  college  at  Rocky  Mount  when  established,  is  requested  to  provide  the 
proper  facilities  for  a  Conference  archives,  and  to  provide  the  necessary  secretarial  labor 
to  efficiently  maintain  a  filing  system. 

All  of  the  agents  and  agencies  of  the  Annual  Conference  are  requested  to  deposit 
annually  in  the  archives  records  not  in  current  use. 

The  secretary  of  the  Annual  Conference  shall  be  the  official  custodian  of  the  C 
ference   archives,    and    shall   have    authority   to    decide   which   records    have   value  for 
permanent  keeping.

MINIMUM  SALARY 

The  Commision  looks  back  upon  the  last  thirteen  years  during  which  the  Minimum 
salary  Fimd  has  been  in  operation  and  recognizes  that  giant  strides  have  been  made  in 
providing  more  nearly  adequate  support  for  our  ministry.  The  top  bracket  of  the  mini- 
'luuni  salary  schedule  has  increased  140';  since  the  beginning  of  operations  in  1942, 
from  $1,500  to  $3,600.  We  are  of  the  opinion  that  raising  of  the  schedule  has  had  the 
X'ffcct  of  raising  pastoral  salaries  in  general,  as  well  as  other  salutory  effects. 

The  Commission,  however,  feels  that  the  time  has  come  when  the  Minimum  Salary 
Schedule  should  be  stabilized,  not  in  terms  of  any  static  and  unrealistic  numerical  figure, 
which  might  very  (quickly  cease  to  reflect  the  cost  of  living  in  a  rapidly  changing  econ- 

)iii\ ,  but  in  terms  of  some  stated  principle  which  will  guide  the  conference  in  determining 

\liat  the  schedule  should  be. 

in  the  year  of  1955-1956  the  minimum  salary  paid  married  pastors  with  one  or  more 
dependent  children   was   approximately  $460.00   below   the   average  salary  paid  by   all 

■barges  being  served  by  full-time  pastors,  except  church  extension  projects  founded  in 

lie  8-year  period  preceding  the  current  year. 

\\'e  recommend,  therefore,  that  the  conference  adopt   the  principle   of   making  the 

nininium  salary  paid  to: 

1 )  All  married  full-time  pastors  with  one  or  more  dependent  children  $300  less  than 

111    ;i\erage  of  all  salaries  and  travel  and  expense  funds  paid  by  all  charges  the  previous 

,ear  to  full-time  pastors  under  episcopal  appointment,  except  church  extension  projects 
rounded  in  the  eight-year  period  preceding  the  annual  conference  at  which  the  minimum 
':alary  schedule  shall  be  calculated. 

( 2 )  All  married  full-time  pastors  with  no  dependent  children  $300  less  than  pastors 
kscribed  in  the  above  point  1; 

(3)  And  all  unmarried  full-time  pastors  $300  less  than  pastors  described  in  the 
ibove  point  2. 

I  This  principle  is  to  be  put  into  effect  beginning  with  the  conference  year  of  1957- 
J958.  If  this  principle  were  to  go  into  effect  in  the  conference  year  of  1956-1957,  the 
aiinimum  salary  in  all  brackets  would  increase  by  approximately  $160.00.  It  is  the  opin- 
ion of  the  Commission  that  pastors  receiving  minimum  salary  aid  can  help  increase  the 
jtandard  minimum  salary  schedule  under  the  operation  of  this  principle  by  encouraging 
;heir  charges  to  increase  the  amount  paid  on  pastors'  salaries,  thus  raising  the  average 
salary  throughout  the  conference. 

'  In  making  these  recommendations  the  Commission  is  motivated  by  the  desire  to 
Jtabilize  the  Minimum  Salar>'  Schedule  with  a  principle  that  will  gear  the  schedule  in 
ivith  the  general  economy  of  the  Conference  in  such  a  way  that  it  will  automatically  rise 
khen  pastors'  salaries  in  general  rise.  There  will  be  no  more  great  increase  such  as 
tharactrized  the  past  history  of  the  schedule,  but  there  will  be  an  advantage  in  that 
ncreases  will  no  longer  be  a  matter  of  caprice  but  of  principle.  The  adoption  of  this 
principle  means  settling  down  for  the  long  pull,  making  the  gains  of  the  past  stick  in 
the  long  term  future  of  our  conference.

COMMISSION  ON  WORLD  SERVICE  AND  FINANCE  ^791 
Report  No.  1 

The  dominant  theme  of  our  meeting  on  December  13,  1955,  was  the  New  Financial 
Plan,  "As  Much  for  Others  As  for  Ourselves."  Discussion  centered  around  the  need  for 
a  workable  method  for  presenting  the  plan  to  the  charges  of  the  Conference  with  reason- 
able uniformity  in  the  several  districts. 

The  decision  was  made  that  it  would  be  necessary  for  the  district  superintendents 
to  present  the  needs  of  the  Annual  Conference  and  World  Methodism  and  guide  pastors 
and  members  of  official  boards  in  acceptance  of  apportionments,  askings  and  specials. 
This  was  thought  to  be  in  keeping  with  Section  1  of  the  plan  as  adopted: 

"That  all  benevolences,  as  hereinafter  defined  be  placed  on  the  same  basis  as  has 
been  the  case  with  World  Service,  the  amount  for  which  each  charge  is  obligated  to  be 
;determined  by  its  acceptance  at  the  beginning  of  each  conference  year." 

However,  in  setting  up  the  plan  to  go  into  effect  next  conference  year,  it  becomes 
inecessary  that  each  charge  determine  at  its  fourth  quarterly  conference  for  this  year 
what  is  to  be  its  acceptance  for  next  year. 

The  Conference  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance  presents  this  recom- 
iiendation: 

"Some  charges  have  already  attained  this  objective;  'AS  MUCH  FOR 
OTHERS  AS  FOR  OURSELVES.'  Some  can  readily  reach  the  objective 
in  the  first  year;  others  will  need  two  years,  some  three  years.  We  recom- 
mend that  all  endeavor  to  reach  the  goal  in  four  years." 

Attainment  of  the  goal  should  not  mean  that  a  church  would  stop  progress  at  that 
luint.  True  spiritual  growth  will  continue  to  be  reflected  in  what  we  do  FOR  OTHERS. 

In  order  to  meet  the  basic  needs  of  the  Conference,  it  will  be  necessary  for  the 
!iarg('S  to  accept  a  minimum  107c  increase  for  combined  Benevolences  over  the  total 
amount  for  the  similar  items  this  year.  Increased  Church  Extension  and  other  items  of 
,ieedcd  expansion  of  the  Conference  program  will  depend  on  the  Total  Acceptances 
or  BENEVOLENCES  to  be  reported  at  Annual  Conference.

"Total  Money"  figure.  The  base  is  the  1955  Journal.  From  Table  2A  take  Charg 
totals  shown  in  Columns  44,  45,  47  then  add  Total  Apportionments  from  Table  2B.  T 
the  total  of  these  four  items  add  V2  of  the  total  so  as  to  adjust  to  12-nK)nth  year  and  tb 
result  is  the  Charge  "total  money"  figure.  Adjustments  for  errors  in  facts  may  be  mad 
on  concurrence  of  the  District  Superintendent  and  the  Conference  Treasurer.  The  "toti 
money"  figure  for  the  Annual  Conference  under  the  above  formula  would  be  $3,677,37.,

LIMITING  AND  SUPPLEMENTING  PROVISIONS  RELATING  TO  THE  BUDGET 

1.  In  conformity  with  the  New  Financial  Plan  as  adopted  by  the  Annual  Conference,

lit  $7,500,  including  travel. 

[       (b)   We  recommend  the  custom  already  established  in  most  districts  in  providing 
iFrom  the  district  treasury  a  fund  for  office  expense  for  the  District  Superintendent  not 

ti  exceed  $600  annually. 
4.  The  total  funds  received  from  the  acceptances  for  the  combined  BENEVO- 
ENCES  shall  be  distributed  as  provided  in  the  plan:  "Each  cause  shall  be  paid  pro- 
bortionately  out  of  the  income  from  acceptances  up  to  the  amount  fixed  in  the  budget. 
\ny  surplus  shall  be  held  by  the  Conference  Treasurer  to  be  expended  by  the  Annual

hen  current  base  of  established  charges,  in  a  period  not  to  exceed  four  years, 
i  8.  Since  there  is  a  growing  practice  on  the  part  of  official  boards  to  adopt  prior  to 
^nnual  Conference  budgets  for  the  ensuing  year  and  to  consider  them  closed  therefore, 
'e  it  directed  bv  the  Annual  Conference  that  such  adoption  of  budgets  prior  to  Annual

Report  No.  2 
RE:   METHODIST  FUND,   INCORPORATED 

The  Annual  Conference  of  June  1955  authorized  the  Commission  on  World  Service 
and  Finance  to  set  up  an  investment  committee,  see  Journal  page  161  (our  report  No. 
2).  This  was  done.  We  then  were  faced  with  making  a  decision  in  the  holding  of  certifi- 
cates of  stock  and  the  transfer  of  same  in  the  event  of  sale.  We  discovered  that  the 
Discipline  111612  recommends  the  formation  of  a  corporation  for  the  handling  of  per- 
manent funds  and  we  procured  a  charter  for  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated. 

The  fund  has  broad  powers  for  the  handling  of  all  types  of  securities,  real  estate, 
et  cetera  and  to  manage  same.  The  corporation  is  a  non-profit  religious  organization  and 
all  income  must  be  distributed  "as  the  annual  conference  shall  from  time  to  time  direct." 
Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  may  receive  funds  or  property  for  the  use,  benefit,  or 
account  of  any  Board,  Committee,  Commission,  Quarterly  Conference,  Corporation  or 
other  body,  such  Board,  Committee,  Commission,  Quarterly  Conference,  Corporation  or 
such  other  body  being  susidiary  to  or  an  agency  of  and  owned  by  the  North  Carolina 
Annual  Conference  ( Southeastern  Jurisdiction )  of  the  Methodist  Church,  and  all 
accretions  and  capital  gains  thereto  and  income  thereon  shall  be  applied  exclusively, 
subject  to  lawful  directions  of  the  said  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  of  the  Meth- 
odist Church,  to  such  Board,  Committee,  Commission,  Quarterly  Conference,  Corporation 
or  other  body. 

The  corporation  is  under  tlie  control  of  the  Annual  Conference  which  may  dissolve 
the  corporation  if  it  so  desires. 

The  incorporating  members  of  the  corporation  in  alphebetical  order  are  the  fol- 
lowing: namely:  Marvin  J.  Cowell,  J.  M.  Dozier,  J.  E.  Garlington,  Gurney  P.  Hood, 
Charles  S.  Hubl)ard,  J.  H.  Waldrop.  They  will  hold  office  until  their  successors  shall 
be  elected. 

"Members  of  this  corporation  shall  be,  until  and  unless  the  North  Carolina  Annua! 
Conference  (Southeastern  Jurisdiction)   of  the  Methodist  Church  otherwise  directs: 

(a)  That  person  holding  the  office  of  treasurer  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual  Con- 
ference  ( Southeastern  Jurisdiction )  of  the   Methodist  Church. 

(b)  One  member  elected  by  the  Board  of  Conference  Claimants  of  said  North 
Carolina  Annual  Conference; 

(c)  One  member  elected  by  the  Board  of  Missions  of  said  North  Carolina  Annual 
Conference; 

(d)  Three  members  elected  by  the  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance  oi 
said   North  Carolina   Annual  Conference. 

Vacancies  occurring  in  the  membership  sliall  be  filled  by  the  membership  by  majorit; 
vote. 

Membership  shall  expire  as  soon  after  the  (iuadrennial  meeting  of  said  North  Car 
olina  Annual  Conference  as  a  successor  has  been  elected,  except  members  elected  b; 
the  membership  on  the  happening  of  a  vacancy  shall  expire  upon  the  election  of  a  sue 
ccssor,  which  may  be  done  at  the  ne.xt  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  or  Commissioi 
charged  with  the  election  of  such  member. 

The    North   Carolina   Annual   Conference    ( Southeastern   Jurisdiction )    may    provid-^ 
otlier  and  different   qualifications   for  membership  in   this   Corporation.   (In   complian 
with  a  request  from  the  floor  of  the  Conference,  the  Certificate  of  Incoroporation  o| 
Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  was  read  in  detail.  A  copy  of  the  charter  may  be  ha«| 
on  request   to  the   Secretary  of  Methodist   Fund,   Incorporated. )    We  present,   with 


Journal  of  Proceedings  183 

leasure  of  pride,  the  financial  report  of  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  which  will  be 
)und  elsewhere  in  the  treasurer's  reports. 

We  respectfully  ask  Conference  approval  and  acceptance  of  the  charter  of  the 
irporation. 

By  reason  of  experience  gained  in  the  past  year,  we  now  ask  that  the  Conference 
uthorize  the  directors  of  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  to  act  concurrently  as  the 
ivestment  committee  for  funds  handled  by  the  central  treasury  and  that  restrictions 
pplying  to  types  of  investments  or  securities  in  which  funds  of  central  treasury  may 
3  placed  shall  be  only  those  set  by  the  investment  committee  for  central  treasury  funds. 
7e  ask  this  authority  for  the  reason  that  flexibility  is  a  big  factor  in  the  making  of 
^vestments  and  in  shifting  from  one  type  to  another  at  times. 

We  recommend  that  there  be  no  distribution  of  income  of  Methodist  Fund,  Incor- 
;3rated,  at  this  time,  rather  that  it  remain  for  the  creation  of  a  reserve  for  possible 
'epreciation  of  securities. 

!  We  also  propose  that  the  Annual  Conference  direct,  as  authorized  by  the  charter 
r  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  that  the  number  of  members  be  increased  from  six 
jp  seven  and  to  include  one  member  elected  by  the  Conference  Board  of  Trustees. 
'  We  also  report  for  the  record  the  change  of  name  of  the  Board  of  Conference 
laimants  as  it  appears  in  the  charter  to  read  Conference  Board  of  Pensions.  In  com- 
iance  with  a  request  from  the  floor  of  the  Conference,  the  Certificate  of  Incorporation 
f  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  was  read  in  detail.  A  copy  of  the  Charter  may  be  had 
p  request  to  the  Secretary  of  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated. 

t  An  amendment  to  Report  No.  2,  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance  offered 
^  Drury  W.  Wall  to  require  Methodist  Fund,  Incorporated,  to  dispose  of  its  tobacco 
locks  was  accepted  by  the  Committee  and  became  part  of  the  report.

elude  World  Service  and  other  Conference  benevolences.  We  have  just  presented  in 
'^port  No.  1  an  amended  budget  distribution  of  $926,932.  This  allows  a  margin  for 
[in-payment  of  $16,179  or  1.8^'^  safety  factor.  This  reflects  need  for  co-operation  on  the 
m  of  our  churches  in  full  payment  of  these  acceptances.

pllment  of  a  community  commitment  of  (a)  $50,000  for  renovation  of  the  Davis

for  the  income  to  retire  the  government  obhgation,  after  allowing  for  the  income  for  the 
cafeteria;  ( e )  remainder  may  be  used  for  capital  expenditures  at  the  discretion  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees. 

We  approve  the  request  of  the  Board  of  Missions  for  the  endorsement  in  principle 
of  their  request  for  authority  to  negotiate  details  of  a  proposal  to  set  up  a  fund  in  the

mortgage  loans  to  a  total  of  $1,000,000  or  five  times  the  guarantee  fund. 

We  recommend  that  the  Conference  authorize  the  Commission  on  World  Service 
and  Finance  to  appropriate  from  the  Conference  reserve  fund,  from  year  to  year,  to  the 
guarantee  fund  when  established,  amounts  in  their  discretion  which  will  not  reduce  the

Resolution  of  Appreciation  of  the  Faithful  Service  of 

GURNEY  P.  HOOD 

on  the  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance 


At  the  1931  session  of  the  North  CaroHna  Annual  Conference 
which  met  in  Greenville,  Gurney  P.  Hood  was  made  a  member  of 
the  Commission  on  Budget,  now  known  as  the  Commission  on 
World  Service  and  Finance.  For  twenty-five  years  he  has  rendered 
most  faithful  and  effective  service  in  all  areas  of  finance  in  our 
Conference.  Since  1944  he  has  served  as  Chairman  of  the  Commis- 
sion on  World  Service  and  Finance. 

Pie  has  given  courageous  and  constructive  leadership  in  all 
phases  of  the  financial  program  of  our  Conference.  During  these 
twenty-five  vears  the  total  sum  of  monev  raised  for  all  causes  in  our 
Conference  has  increased  from  $1,126,994  to  more  than  $7,000,000. 
He  has  been  in  the  foreground  of  every  movement  of  advance  and 
progress.  The  causes  of  Christian  Education,  Homes  for  Children 
and  the  Aged,  Minimum  Salary  and  every  other  area  of  financial 
support  have  been  greatlv  strengthened  bv  his  perseverance  and 
fidelity. 

This  Conference  owes  a  real  debt  of  gratitude  to  Mr.  Hood  for 
his  large  labors  of  love  and  his  unfailing  interest  in  all  causes  that 
have  made  our  Conference  great  in  its  labors  to  extend  the  Kingdom 
of  our  Lord. 

After  twenty-five  years  of  continuous  service  of  heart  interest 
and  devotion,  in  the  same  church  in  which  he  was  placed  on  this 
Commission,  he  now  retires  from  membership  on  the  Commission 
under  the  provision  of  a  Resolution  of  Rotation  adopted  by  the 
North  Carolina  Annual  Conference  in  1952.  This  Conference  desires 
to  express  to  Brother  Hood  our  deep  gratitude  for  the  constancy  of 
his  vision,  faithfulness  of  his  service,  and  the  numerous  contribu- 
tions that  he  has  made  in  the  total  program  of  our  Conference. 

Brother  Hood,  we  assure  you  of  our  continuing  love  and  grati- 
tude, and  express  the  hope  that  you  will  have  many  more  years  in 
which  to  live  and  labor  and  love.

THE  ADVANCE  COMMITTEE 


We  close  this  conference  year  with  deep  gratitude  for  the  fine  progress  made  in 
every  phase  of  Advance  Specials.  For  the  excellent  leadership  of  Presiding  Bishop 
Paul  N.  Garber,  the  nine  district  superintendents,  boards  of  our  conference,  the  pastors, 
and  members  of  all  of  our  charges,  your  Advance  Committee  is  most  grateful. 

It  is  not  possible  to  give  in  detail  all  items  which  are  included  in  Advance  or  Mis- 
sion Specials.  The  money  contributed  to  some  of  these  such  as,  The  Week  of  Dedication, 
Fellowship  of  Suffering  and  Service,  Overseas  Relief,  Race  Relations,  are  shown  in 
their  proper  places  by  our  conference  treasurer.  I  do  think,  however,  it  will  be  of  great 
mterest  to  highlight  in  this  report  the  truly  great  progress  made  this  year  in  the  fol- 
lowing four  phases  of  Specials: 

1.  In  General  Advance  Specials,  according  to  the  reports  from  our  district  superin- 
tendents, we  have  contributed  a  total  of  $53,428. 

2.  Conference  Specials  have  been  most  encouraging.  Approximately  $72,000  has 
been  raised  for  the  different  projects  that  are  included  in  this  group. 

3.  The  general  appeal  for  building  a  Methodist  College  in  Alaska  has  been  excellent. 
Every  district  and  almost  every  church  has  come  forward  with  substantial  sums  of 
money  for  this  project.  To  date  for  this  year  this  item  totals  $10,501. 

4.  The  Ten  Dollar  Club,  promoted  especially  by  the  Board  of  Missions  through  its 
Executive  Secretary,  Rev.  Tom  Collins,  reports  that  there  are  now  4,930  active  members. 
If  each  of  the  three  calls  are  met  by  these  members  for  this  year  now  ending,  we  will 
be  able  to  contribute  to  the  building  of  new  Methodist  churches  in  our  own  conference 
the  magnificent  sum  of  nearly  one  hundred  and  fifty  thousand  dollars.

COMMITTEE  ON  CONFERENCE  CALENDAR 

The  purpose  of  the  Conference  Calendar  Committee  is  to  assemble  the  dates  of  all 
the  important  events,  emphases,  and  programs  of  the  several  boards  and  agencies  of 
the  North  Carolina  Conference  and  to  incorporate  these  dates  in  a  calendar  to  be 
prepared  for  distribution  to  the  pastors  and  to  each  local  church. 

We  are  requesting  tlie  co-operation  of  all  the  boards,  committees,  commissions, 
agencies,  and  organizations  of  the  conference  in  securing  the  information  needed  for 
the  1956-1957  calendar. 

The  committee  plans  to  have  the  calendar  published  and  ready  to  be  distributed 
at  tlie  District  Set-Up  meetings.  In  order  for  us  to  meet  this  schedule,  it  will  be  necessary 
for  this  information  to  be  in  the  hands  of  the  committee  immediately.

COMMITTEE  ON  CONFERENCE  ENTERTAINMENT 

At  the  1955  session  of  our  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference,  held  in  Fayetteville, 
our  program  was  so  crowded  that  we  did  not  take  the  time  to  hear  invitations  for  the 
session  for  1956.  Within  a  short  time,  however,  the  loyal  Methodists  of  Jarvis  Memorial  , 
and  other  Greenville  churches  saw  the  opportunity,  and  extended  to  us  a  most  gracious  , 
welcome.  So  here  we  are — by  the  grace  of  God.  For  the  hospitality  extended  by  these  j 
our  Christian  friends,  and  the  friendly  co-operation  of  East  Carolina  College,  we  are  j 
most  grateful.  t 

We  continue  to  anticipate  the  day  when  conference  entertainment  will   be  offered 
in  more  of  our  cities.  Perhaps  we  may  soon  be  in  position  to  consider  invitations  from   j 
our  Fayetteville  and  Rocky  Mount  colleges.  Meantime,  we  are  ready  to  accept  invitations  | 
from  some  of  our  great  churches  which  could  profit  immensely  by  providing  entertain- 
ment. MAY  WE  COME  TO  YOUR  CHURCH  IN  1957?

BOARD  OF  SOCIAL  AND  ECONOMIC  RELATIONS  ^559 

I  he  North  Carolina  Conference  Board  of  Social  and  Economic  Relations  completes, 
t  this  Conference,  the  first  quadrennium  of  work.  The  new  quadrennium  will  usher  in 
r.any  opportunities  for  service  to  our  Conference  in  social  and  economic  areas. 

Tlie  Conference  Board  is  recommending  for  next  conference  year,  where  possible, 
.  Social  Action  Committee  be  set  up  in  the  local  church  for  leading  in  study  and  action 
Drojects  in  social  and  economic  problems.  The  Board  recommends  the  study  text,  "The 
i.Iodern  Samaritan,"  as  one  source  book  to  be  used  in  the  local  church.  Order  copies 
■rom  the  General  Board  of  Social  and  Economic  Relations,  740  Rush  Street,  Chicago  11, 
Ihnois,  at  35c-  per  copy. 

Our  Board  congratulates  the  General  Conference  of  1956  for  the  Amendment  to 
he  Constitution  of  The  Methodist  Church  which  we  feel  is  the  proper  Christian  ap- 
proach for  The  Methodist  Church  to  take  in  our  day  in  the  area  of  race  relations.  It 
■i  the  request  of  our  Board  that  our  bishop  prepare  a  digest  of  this  Amendment  in  the 
orm  of  a  pamphlet,  and  the  same  be  distributed  throughout  every  church  in  our 
Conference.

COMMISSION  ON  RADIO  AND  FILM  WORK  ^1591 

The  goal  of  all  of  our  endeavors  in  the  Church  is  to  reach  more  persons  with  the 
phristian  message.  We  want  to  help  them  become  more  effective  Christians.  Whatever 
I'ur  leadership  responsibility  may  be,  we  are  directing  our  efforts  toward  a  more  ade- 
liuate  church  program.  We  may  be  primarily  interested  in  education,  evangelism,  or 
jaissions,  but  our  chief  concern  is  to  reach  more  persons  more  effectively. 
(  In  our  generation  we  ha\e  witnessed  a  miracle.  People  in  places  of  authority  have 
literally  changed  the  philosophy,  outlook  and  response  of  an  entire  nation  to  accomplish 
heir  own  purposes — sometimes  high  and  beautiful,  other  times  low  and  ruthless.  They 
lave  made  full  use  of  two  new  tools  of  communication — the  radio  and  motion  picture 
(nd  many  other  audio-visual  media. 

The  evidence  is  clear  and  unmistakable,  and  means  one  thing  to  us  in  the  Church: 
ff  we  want  to  move  toward  a  more   adequate  church  program,  we  must  of  necessity 
[chieve  an  understanding  skill  in  the  use  of  audio-visual  resources.  We  need  to  harness 
'very  tool  that  makes  for  quicker  and  more  permanent  learning. 
j     To  help  meet  this  demand  the  Commission  on   Radio  and  Film  Work  has   in  the 

Iast  year  attempted  to  broaden  its  activities  in  the  field  of  its  responsibility. 
At  the  last  Annual  Conference  the  report  of  this  commission  was  approved  where- 
nder  the  Boards  of  Managers  of  Christian  Workers'  Schools  throughout  the  Conference 
'ere  invited  to  let  the  Commission  share  in  the  expense  of  including  a  course  on  the 
se  of  Audio- Visuals  in  the  curricula.  Several  schools  have  accepted  the  invitation, 
jjnd  we  look  forward  to  the  time  when  many  of  our  church  workers  will  be  better 
itrained  to  use  this  media  which  is  such  a  force  in  directing  the  minds  of  men.  We 
ccommend  that  this  policy  be  continued  in  the  1956-57  year. 


188  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

Also,  during  the  past  year  a  Conference  Filmstrip  Library  has  been  organized.  From 
this  hbrary  any  church,  or  any  church  worker,  may  secure  a  filmstrip,  or  filmstrips  which 
may  be  used  as  a  teaching  or  worship  aid  in  any  phase  of  the  total  church  program.  Such 
filmstrips  (or  slide  sets)  may  be  rented  from  the  commission  at  a  nominal  fee  that  pays 
only  the  cost  of  administration  of  the  program.  Thus,  the  necessity  on  the  part  of  the 
church  to  purcliase  all  filmstrips  used  in  its  program  is  obviated.  The  utilization  of  the 
Filmstrip  Library  has  grown  in  a  phenomenal  way.  We  recommend  that  this  program 
be  continued  and  expanded  through  the  next  conference  year. 

The  television  series,  "The  Way,"  has  received  the  support  of  the  commission  and 
conference  during  the  past  year  in  the  amount  of  well  over  $2,200.  It  has  been  promoted 
to  the  extent  that  "The  Way"  has  been  televised  by  at  least  four  of  the  major  T\' 
stations  serving  the  members  of  our  conference.  We  recommend  that  the  pastors  of  our 
conference  promote  the  series  in  every  way  possible  amongst  the  members  of  their 
various  congregations.  A  Pastor's  Workbook  for  the  local  use  of  "The  Way"  has  been 
sent  to  each  pastor.  Others  may  be  secured  from  The  Central  Office  of  Promotion, 
Chicago,  Illinois.

COMMISSION  ON  CHRISTIAN  VOCATIONS  ^643 

In  preparation  of  the  final  report  for  this  quadrennium  our  Commission  on  Christian 
Vocations  believes  that  the  program  is  now  well  established  in  our  North  Carolina 
Conference. 

Several  conferences  have  been  held  with  emphasis  on  the  philosophy  of  our  Christian 
vocation,  with  special  emphasis  on  recruitment  and  commitment  to  church  related 
vocations.  This  program  has  been  emphasized  in  subdistrict,  district,  and  conference 
youth  meetings,  assemblies,  and  annual  conferences.  During  the  past  conference  year 
the  emphasis  has  been  on  the  district  level,  with  district  conferences  held  in  the  Bur- 
lington, Baleigh,  and  Wilmington  districts.  The  results  have  been  most  encouraainc; 
and  gratifying.  The  Raleigh  district  conference  included  a  class  for  pastors  and  adult 
counsellors  taught  by  Dr.  B.  G.  Childs  of  Duke  University.  In  the  Wilmington  district 
conference  there  were  twenty-five  commitments  to  full-time  Christian  service.  Decisions 
were  made  by  some  for  the  first  time  to  attend  college.  Some  youth  rallies  were  given 
over  entirely  to  emphasis  on  church  related  vocations. 

Our  first  \'ocations  conference  for  college  students  was  held  at  Chapel  Hill  under 
the  direction  of  the  Reverend  J.  Robert  Regan,  Jr.,  State  Director  of  Student  Work. 
The  interest  in  this  conference  was  so  great  that  those  attending  requested  that  similar 
conferences  be  held  every  other  year. 

Our  commission  has  received  excellent  co-operation  from  Mrs.  H.  R.  Odom,  secretary 
of  missionary  personnel  and  the  district  missionary  personnel  secretaries  of  the  Woman's 
Society  of  Christian  Service.  Through  these  secretaries,  copies  of  Methodist  Service 
Projects,  1956  have  been  distributed  to  each  high  school  in  our  conference.  The  Rev- 
erend Herman  Winberry,  Conference  Director  of  Youth  Work,  has  set  up  a  central  file 
on  church  vocations  prospects  in  our  board  of  education  office.  The  directors  of  youth 
work  have  co-operated  in  high-lio'hting  Christian  vocations  throughout  the  Conference. 

Our  commission  makes  the  following  recommendations  for  the  next  conference  year: 

(1)  That  each  pastor  see  that  there  is  a  committee  on  Christian  vocations  in  each 
local  church  in  his  charge  and  that  literature  be  provided  by  the  church  for  this  com- 
mittee. 

(2)  That  eucli  pastor  contact  the  local  high  school  principal  in  his  comnmnity  and 
offer  his  assistance  in  arranging  career  day  programs  for  juniors  and  seniors  in  which 
the  filmstrip  on  Christian  vocations  and  Protestant  church  opportunities  would  be  i 
presented. 

(3)  That  the  Radio  and  Film  Commission  of  oiu-  Conference  purchase  the  filmstrins 
listed  on  pp.  66-67  Methodist  Service  Projects,  1956,  so  they  will  be  more  readily 
available  for  use  in  meetings  on  vocational  recruitment  and  guidance. 

(4)  That  each  district  director  set  up  a  cumulative  record  system  using  form  3207-c 
and  "Basic  Information  Record  Blank"  3208-c  on  all  youth  in  his  district  who  have 
expressed  an  interest  in  a  church  vocation. 

(5)  That  each  district  superintendent  call  together,  early  in  the  conference  year,  the) 
following  members  of  his  staff  to  make  plans  for  promoting  Christian  vocations  in  his 
district,  the  director  of  youth  work,  secretary  of  missionary  personnel  of  the  Woman's 
Society  of  Christian  Service  and  the  director  of  Christian  vocations. 


Journal  of  Proceedings  189 

It   is   further   recommended  that  this    committee    give   attention   to    setting    up    the 
cumulative  record  system  referred  to   in  number  4   above.   Also,  that  this  committee 

i  work  with  the  conference  director  of  youth  work  and  the  state  director  of  Methodist 

•student  work  in  securing  information  on  college  students  who  are  preparing  for  cliurcli- 

i  related  vocations. 

I        We  recommend  that  conferences  for  young  adults  who  express  an  interest  in  churcli 

;  vocations  be  held  at  some  time  during  this  quadrennium  and  that  a  specialized  confer- 

;  cnce  on  the  ministry  also  be  held  during  the  quadrennium. 

i        We  furtlier  recommend  that  an  institute  for  pastors  and  other  adult  counselors  of 

'youth  be  conducted  in  each  district  by  Dr.  Richard  G.  Belcher,  Executive  Secretary  of 

jthe  Interboard  Committee  on  Christian  Vocations,  Nashville,  Tennessee. 

'        A  conference  on  Christian  vocations  for  the  entire  conference  will  be  held  in  Steele 

[Street  Metliodist  Church  in  Sanford  on  March  1,  2,  3,  1957. 

j  We  wish  to  express  our  sincere  appreciation  for  the  wonderful  co-operation  given 
the  commission  by  our  bishop,  our  district  superintendents,  our  conference  board  of 
education,  our  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service,  district  directors  of  youth  work, 

{district  directors  of  Christian  vocations,   and   our  state  director  of  student  work. 

Respectfully  submitted,

COMMITTEE  ON  WORLD  PEACE  ^551 

We  rejoice  and  gi\e  thanks  to  Almighty  God  that  the  nations  of  the  world  are  "living 
in  peace"  one  with  another  at  the  present  time.  It  encourages  us  to  beheve  more  strongly 
that  the  Spirit  of  "The  Prince  of  Peace"  is  moving  through  the  nations  of  the  earth, 
'and  that  the  leaders  of  the  nations  are  gathering  inspiration  from  the  teachings  of  our 

•  Lord  Jesus  Christ.  The  prayers  of  devout  people  all  over  the  earth  are  being  answered. 

•  Mankind  is  slowly  learning  that  die  road  to  happiness  and  economic  betterment  is  "The 
VV^ay  of  Christ."  Students  and  visitors  from  other  countries,  studying  and  visiting  in  the 

'United  States,  are  beginning  to  catch  our  "Peace  Loving  Point  of  View."  Gradually  the 
world  is  awakening  to  the  fact  that  the  alternative  to  atomic  and  hydrogen  war  is 
brotherhood  as  conceived  in  the  mind  of  Christ,  and  taught  by  His  Churcli.  With  such 
instruments  of  destruction  as  now  possessed  by  at  least  one  other  nation,  and  diis 
'nation,  it  is  unthinkable  that  national  leaders  of  any  country,  or  countries,  will  again 
'lead  tlie  world  to  war. 

We  commend  the  Secretary  General  of  the  United  Nations,  Mr.  Daj  Hammarskjold, 
for  the  splendid  work  he  has  done  in  the  Near  East  in  bringing  those  nations  together 
in  a  cease-fire  agreement.  We  urge  the  United  Nations,  and  our  government,  to  give 
full  support. 

We  believe  with  Dr.  Charles  F.  Boss,  Jr.,  executive  secretary  of  The  Methodist 
Board  of  World  Peace,  that  five  chief  objectives  must  be  reached  if  disarmament  is  to 
I  be  genuine,  universal  and  permanent. 

First:  Man  needs  to  develop  and  define  universal,  mutual  goals  which  can  be  clearly 
recognized  and  agreed  upon  as  those  which  men  everywhere  are  striving  to  achieve. 

Second;  The  will,  tlie  determination  to  adhere  to  peaceful  methods  of  effecting 
economic,  social,  and  political  change  is  the  only  way  in  which  the  values  and  goals, 
which  man  has  defined  as  universal,  can  be  reached.  War  will  fail  in  achieving  even 
these  goals  and  the  security  and  welfare  of  a  militarily  victorious  nation. 

Third:  Disarmament  requires  the  establishment  of  mutual  confidence  between 
!  nations,  especially  the  large  nations,  and  also  practical  technical  steps  for  the  mainten- 
lance  of  mutual  confidence.  Technical  steps  must  be  clearly  defined,  put  into  practice, 
jand  supervised  by  international  controls  as  to  make  them  both  acceptable  and  effective, 
i  Fourth:  We  stress  the  fact  that  disarmament  must  be  universal  and  complete.  The 
'renunciation  of  armament  races  and  of  atomic  and  hydrogen  bombs  and  all  forms  of 
jinternational  war  will  require  the  application  of  the  whole  range  of  peaceful  methods 
and  techniques,  for  creatmg  the  conditions  which  support  peace. 

Fifth:  It  is  the  function  of  the  Church  to  work  with  God,  the  Creator  and  sustainer 
!Jof  the  universe  and  of  society,  in  the  achievement  of  a  warless  world,  replaced  by  an 
international  society  which,  by  adherence  to  the  peaceful  solutions  of  difference  and 
[disputes  may  enter,  through  the  use  of  creative  approach,  into  a  progressively  changing 
economic,  social,  and  political  order  on  a  world  scale. 

I  We  are  thankful  that  both  individual  citizens  and  the  government  of  our  country 
Piave  seen  our  responsibility  in  the  field  of  economic  and  technical  assistance  to  under- 
developed areas  of  the  world. 


190  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

We  urge  our  government  to  channel  its  assistance  through  the  United  Nations 
International  Technical  Assistance  Program,  because  when  we  give  aid  by  ourselves 
some  get  the  impression  that  we  are  trying  to  "buy"  friends  and  allies,  and  the  recipients 
of  our  aid  tend  to  resent  us. 

We  commend  the  President  of  the  United  States  for  his  stand  in  favor  of  foreign 
economic  and  technical  aid,  and  a  copy  of  this  Report  should  be  sent  to  him. 

We  recommend: 

That  the  North   Carolina  Conference   send  a  representative   to   the   World   Affairs 
Institute  which  will  be  held  at  Blue  Ridge  the  latter  part  of  July.  Moreover,  we  request :, 
that  such  a  representative  confer  with  the  sponsors  of  the  above  institute,  and  assure  i 
them  of  our  interest  and  willingness  to  co-operate  in  the  cause  of  World  Peace.  ' 

We  further  recommend, 

That  our  Conference  go  on  record  as  favoring  a  movement  to  strengthen  the  United  i 
Nation  into  a  form  of  world  government,  with  limited,  though  adequate  powers,  to  li 
make  and  enforce  international  laws. 

We  believe  that  our  ministry  and  our  Methodist  Church  are  instruments  in  the  hands  . 
of  Almighty  God  to  guide  the  world  toward  the  goal  of  international  good  will.  We 
have  accepted  the  challenge,  and  to  this  end  we  will  work  and  pray  with  inspired  zeal,  li

The   Brotherhood  is  a  group  of  Methodist   ministers  and  lay   people  who  want  to 

express  their  sympathy  to  the  bereaved  widow  of  a  Methodist  preacher  in  a  way  that 

will  be   of  real   assistance   when   it   is   most   needed.    Instead   of   sending   telegrams    or 

'flowers,  gifts  of  $1   bv  superannuate  ministers  and  lay  people;   $3  by  pastor  members 

;  whose  salary  is  under  $3,000;  $4,  if  the  salary  is  from   $3,000  to  $4,000;   and  $5  if 

;  above  $4,000.  This  money  is  sent  by  the  treasurer  as  soon  as  the  death  is  reported  to 

him,  and  the  widow  has  the  needed  money  to  pay  funeral  expenses  even  before   she 

receives  any  money  from  insurance.  This  is  not  an  insurance  company.  It  is  a  fellowship, 

.1  brotherhood. 

The  membership  is  made  up  of  52  retired  nu'nisters,  229  active  ministers,  and  229 
non-beneficiary  members  (lay  members),  a  total  membership  of  510.  This  means  that  a 
widow  and  family  will  receive  a  sum  of  more  than  $1,200  upon  the  death  of  the  husband 
.md  father.  We  are  happy  to  report  that  during  this  year  we  have  added  many  new 
members,  both  ministers  and  laymen. 

Article  4  of  the  Constitution  of  the  Brotherhood  states:  "Any  minister  of  the  North 
1  Carolina  Conference  on  Trial  or  in  Full  Connection,  or  any  Accepted  Supply  Pastor 
I  doing  supply  work  in  the  Conference,  may  become  a  Beneficiary  Member  of  the  Brother- 
hood by  payment  of  an  Initiation  Fee  of  $1,  and  within  30  days  from  the  date  of 
entrance  a  Mortuary  Assessment  of  $3,  if  salary  is  under  $3,000;  $4,  if  salary  is  from 
$3,000  to  $4,000;  and  $5,  if  salary  is  $4,000  or  above.  The  Mortuary  Assessment  on  an> 
beneficiary  member  who  becomes  superannuated  shall  be  $1  per  call.  Accepted  Supply 
.Pastors  who  have  served  at  least  ten  years  and  who  cease  to  travel  because  of  physical 
disability,  or  because  there  is  no  more  work  for  them,  may  continue  as  beneficiary 
,  members.  Any  person  or  organization  may  become  a  non-beneficiary  member  upon  the 
■payment  of  $1  or  more  and  the  promise  to  pay  the  specified  sum  on  the  death  of  each 
beneficiary  member  thereafter." 

We  sincerely  urge  all  the  ministers  who  are  not  members  to  take  advantage  of  the 
opportunity  to  join  the  Brotherhood  before  the  close  of  this  Annual  Conference.  We 
believe  all  of  you  will  want  to  share  in  our  Brotherhood.  Should  all  the  Methodist 
preachers  and  at  least  300  lay  members  join  the  Brotherhood,  approximately  $2,400 
would  go  to  the  widow  and  family  of  the  deceased.

BOARD  OF  COLLEGE  VISITORS 

ANNUAL  REPORT 

June  25,  1956 

During  the  year  the  Board  has  visited  Greensboro,  High  Point,  and  Louisburg  Col- 
leges; and,  at  the  request  of  the  president  of  PfeiflFer  College,  has  also  included  that 
ischool  in  its  itinerary. 

At  each  of  these  institutions  we  find  many  evidences  of  progress  in  terms  of  improved 
'physical  plant,  rising  enrollment,  and  good  spirit  among  faculty  and  students.  In  its 
development  into  a  four-year  college  Pfeiffer  seems  to  be  following  a  well  conceived 
and  soundly  supported  plan.  At  each  of  the  institutions  there  is  continuing  need  for 
improved  and  expanded  physical  facilities.  We  mention  especially  the  need  for  a  gym- 
'fiasium  at  Greensboro  College  to  make  possible  an  adequate  program  of  physical  edu- 
cation; and  a  chapel  at  Louisburg  to  serve  as  a  center  of  student  religious  life. 
[  As  the  Church  undertakes  necessary  expansion  of  its  facilities  for  higher  education, 
iwe  believe  that  two  cautions  should  be  carefully  observed: 

First,  to  safeguard  the  stability  and  effectiveness  of  established  institutions. 
!      Second,  since  the  distinctive  contribution  of  the  Church  to  higher  education   is  in 
l^he  realm  of  quality,  to  preserve  a  high  standard  in  both  academic  training  and  spiritual 
life. 

!  We  recommend  that  the  Board  of  College  Visitors  be  continued  as  a  part  of  the 
'•onference  organization  for  the  quadrennium  now  opening;  and  that  during  this  period 
here  be  consultation  with  the  Western  North  Carolina  Conference  with  a  view  to 
rrowing  co-operation  between  the  two  conferences  in  providing  for  the  discharge  of 
luties  entrusted  to  this  Board.

HISTORICAL  SOCIETY 

Minutes,  1955-56  Aimual  Meeting

presiding. 

The  anniversary  address,  "A  Look  At  Eastern  North  Carolina  Methodism,"  was  given 
by  Bishop  W.  W.  Peele.  This  address  was  very  informative  and  inspii-ing  and,  by  vote

president;  the  Reverend  H.  S.  Winberry  was  advanced  from  third  vice-president  to 
second  vice-president;  and  the  Reverend  Dwight  L.  Fonts  was  elected  third  vice- 
president.  The  Reverend  C.  D.  Barclift  was  elected  secretary. 

The  literary  project  of  Professor  B.  G.  Childs  in  writing  a  brief  history  of  Methodism 
in  North  Carolina  and  an  annotation  of  those  parts  of  "Asbury's  Journal"  that  relate  to 
his  travels  and  labors  in  this  state  was  endorsed  by  the  Conference. 

Respectfully  submitted,

Nomination  of  Officers 

The  Reverend  Leon  Russell  is  nominated  for  third  vice-president:  and  the  Reverend 
C.  D.  Barclift,  secretary. 

Recommendations 

The  attention  of  the  Conference  is  called  to  Paragraph  661  in  the  1952  Discipline 
which  is  as  follows: 

"In  each  Annual  Conference  there  shall  be  a  Historical  Society,  to  be 
appointed  or  elected  in  whatever  manner  tlie  conference  may  decide, 
whose  duties  it  shall  be  to  preserve  the  records  of  the  conference,  gather  all 
data  referring  to  its  organization,  its  past  history,  its  former  members,  and 
to  collect  all  data  of  interest  from  elderly  persons  and  to  preserve  these 
for  future  generations,  together  with  a  record  of  current  items  of  import- 
ance, and  to  keep  before  the  minds  of  our  people  the  glorious  deeds  of  the 
heroes  of  the  past." 

In  keeping  with  the  Discipline  requirement,  listed  above,  we  recommend  that  each 
church  give  diligent  attention  to  the  matter  of  collecting  and  keeping  in  some  permanent! 


,  Journal  of  Proceedings  199 

kle  items  of  historical  significance  and  related  pertinent  data  to  its  history  and  growth, 
fhe  Methodist  Church  is  rich  in  its  historical  heritage,  and  it  is  also  achieving  worthily 
iow.  However,  we  are  often  times  neglectful  in  recording  these  deeds  as  they  transpire. 
The  record  of  the  Methodist  Church  is  but  the  composite  record  of  achievements  of 
ach  individual  church.  Let  us  be  more  faithful  in  preserving  these  records.  It  is  further 
ecommended  that  the  Committee  on  Records  and  History,  whose  duties  are  set  forth 
;n  Paragraph  145,  Section  HI,  1952  Discipline,  be  organized  in  each  church,  and  faith- 
jully  perform  the  duties  thereof.

THE  METHODIST  COLLEGE  FOUNDATION  OF 
NORTH  CAROLINA,  INC. 


||     There  is  a  Methodist  College  in  North  Carolina  to  meet  the  needs,  both  intellectual 

'pd  spiritual,  of  every   Methodist  boy  or  girl.   No   other   denomination   is   so   fortunate 

1  what  it  has  to  offer  young  people  in  the  field  of  Christian  higher  education.  From  the 

unior  College  level  to  the  great  University,   our  colleges  are  surpassed  by   none  and 

ijperior  to  many. 

The  colleges  that  make  up  the  Foundation  are  owned  and  operated  and  supported 
y  the  North  Carolina  and  the  Western  North  Carolina  Conferences.  These  are  Brevard, 
)uke,  Greensboro,  High  Point  and  Louisburg.  All  these  colleges  are  accredited  by  the 
^gional  accrediting  agency  and  by  the  University  Senate  of  the  Methodist  Church, 
'hey  stand  for  the  most  excellent  in  spiritual  and  intellectual  achievement.  Their  faculties 
ire  among  the  best.  They  are  committed  to  the  proposition  that  to  train  the  mind  only 
,  not  enough — motives  must  be  trained  as  well.  Your  Christian  colleges  are  the  only 
)iucational  institutions  that  put  the  Christian  religion  and  ethic  at  the  center  of  the 
iucational  process.  They  offer  the  only  kind  of  higher  education  that  is  concerned 
Jrimarily  about  what  the  church  exists  for.  They  teach  the  Bible  as  the  "word  of  God," 
,id  are  committed  to  the  fundamental  belief  that  all  human  life  is  sacred  and  that  it 
'lould  be  guided  into  its  most  creative  possibilities. 

'  These  are  your  colleges.  You  should  know  that  in  these  colleges  the  Methodists  of 
'orth  Carolina  have  an  investment  of  more  than  fifty  million  dollars  in  property  value. 
!i  addition  are  the  endowments  that  run  into  the  millions.  More  than  8,000  students 
[e  enrolled  annually. 

'  During  the  next  four  years  the  Methodists  of  North  Carolina  will  be  working  together 
f  make  these  colleges  stronger  and  more  effective  in  the  instilling,  deepening,  and 
iaking  more  vital  the  insights  and  faith  of  our  young  people  who  enroll  there.  Let  us 
[•ay  and  work  and  give  "For  Youth  and  The  Kingdom."  Remember  this:  To  strengthen 
\e  colleges  is  to  strengthen  the  church!  The  most  that  we  can  do  for  our  colleges  is 
ie  least  tee  should  do!

METHODIST  MINISTERS  CREDIT  UNION 

Incorporated  under  North  Carolina  law  in  1938,  the  Credit  Union  is  administered 
ider  the  supervision  of  the  state  Superintendent  of  Credit  Unions;  and  its  books  are 
•idited  by  state  auditors. 

All  members  in  full  connection  of  the  North  Carolina  Conference  are  eligible  to 
in  the  Credit  Union.  Accounts  of  married  members  are  considered  joint  accounts. 

OW  MAY  ONE  BECOME  A  MEMBER? 

1.  Pay  Entrance  Fee  of  twenty-five  cents. 

2.  Invest  five  dollars  ($5.00)  or  more. 

HERE?  At  the  Credit  Union  Desk  in  the  Book  Room. 

hy?  material  advantages 

I   1.  The  Credit  Union  provides  safe  investment  for  your  savings — large  or  small. 

I  2,  In  recent  years  the  Credit  Union  has  paid  a  dividend  of  2%  per  cent  each  year. 

fie  amount  of  the  dividend  has  been  added  to  the  accounts  of  members.  The  largest 

Wdend  paid  last  year  was  $12.00. 

j  3.  Each  member's  life  is  insured  in  the  amount  of  his  savings.   Insurance  premiums 

:«  paid  by  the  Credit  Union. 


200  North  Carolina  Annual  Conference 

4.  The  Credit  Union  provides  a  place  where  members  may  borrow  small  amounts. 
The  limit  on  the  size  of  loans  can  be  raised  as  more  money  is  invested.  Each  borrower's 
life  is  insured  in  the  amount  of  the  unpaid  balance  on  his  loan. 
WHY?  SPIRITUAL  ADVANTAGES 

1.  Your  savings  are  an  in\'estment  in  brotherhood.  The  Credit  Union  has  made  63 
loans,  totaling  $6,121.24.  These  loans  have  helped  members  to  pay  car  repair  bills,  hos- 
pital bills,  and  funeral  expenses.  They  have  helped  members  to  buy  cars,  electrical 
appliances,  books,  and  other  eciuipment  needed  by  the  minister.  Your  investment  in  the 
Credit  Union  is  a  helping  hand  to  your  brother  in  need. 

2.  Your  savings  add  to  your  family's  sense  of  security.  The  life  insurance  feature 
above  means  that  if  a  member  dies,  his  widow  or  estate  receives  the  amount  invested 
in  the  Credit  Union  plus  an  ec^ual  amount  from  insurance.  Joint  accounts  for  married 
members  make  it  possible  for  the  widow  to  collect  these  amounts  without  waiting  for 
settlement  of  the  estate.  If  a  borrower  dies  before  repaying  liis  loan,  the  insurance 
company  pavs  the  unpaid  balance;  and  the  widow  does  not  have  to  worry  about  that 
debt.

REPORT  OF  THE  METHODIST  BOARD  OF  PUBLICATION,  INC. 

In  this  centennial  year  we  are  glad  to  report  that  subscriptions  to  the  North  Carolina 
Christian  Advocate  have  maintained  the  level  set  last  year  with  an  average  of  moru 
than  30,000  copies  going  into  Methodists  homes  in  this  state.  For  the  first  eight  months 
of  this  year  the  income  from  subscriptions  has  amounted  to  $41,268.59;  job  work, 
$61,048.37  other  income,  $4,395.32;  total,  $106,712.08. 

The  editor,  the  Re\'.  R.  P.  Marshall,  has  traveled  more  than  18,000  miles  on  Advocate 
business  since  coming  to  North  Carolina  last  August  and  has  spoken  more  than  130 
times  in  120  different  churches. 

We  call  attention  to  the  fact,  that  with  the  loss  of  the  Christian  Advocate  (Chicago) 
as  a  general  news-magazine,  ministers  and  laity  will  be  left  without  any  source  of  church 
news  and  promotional  material  except  for  a  very  small  amount  which  will  appear  in 
the  two  new  monthly  publications.  This  means  that  the  North  Carolina  Christian  Advo- 
cate will  be  needed  all  the  more  during  the  coming  years,  and  must  expand  its  news 
coverage  to  take  care  of  church-wide  interests.  To  do  this,  we  must  have  the  co-operation 
of  all  the  pastors  and  official  boards  in  an  increased  effort  to  secure  subscriptions.  We 
believe  that  they  will  do  their  best,  as  they  have  done  in  the  past. 

In  order  to  meet  the  challenge  of  the  future,  we  recommend  that  the  endowment 
campaign  begun  some  years  ago  be  continued  until  the  original  goal  of  $100,000  be 
reached.  The  endowment  totals  $55,000.  We  ask  that  this  campaign  be  called  to  the 
attention  of  the  churches. 

The  term  of  A.  T.  Hobbs  expires  with  the  present  conference  year,  and  the  Board 
recommends  his  re-election  for  another  five  year  term  by  the  North  Carolina  Conference.

REPORT  OF  THE  LONG  RANGE  PLANNING  COMMITTEE 

During  the  year  the  Long  Range  Planning  Committee  of  the  North  Carolina  Annual 
Conference  held  several  meetings,  some  of  which  were  in  conjunction  with  other  boards 
and  committees  of  our  Conference,  in  a  study  of  the  needs  of  higher  education  in  our 
Conference.  After  hearing  reports  from  the  special  committee  which  had  visited  several 
cities  in  our  Conference  to  hear  their  offers  for  aid  in  establishing  Methodist  colleges, 
the  Long  Range  Planning  Committee  recommended  to  the  Special  Session  of  the  Annual 
Conference  held  in  Goldsboro,  May  14,  that  "a  senior  (four-year)  co-educational  Method- 
ist College  be  establislied  in  Fayetteville,  North  Carolina,  and  that  Louisburg  College 
become  the  nucleus  of  the  college  at  Rocky  Mount."  The  report  was  adopted  with  the 
amendment  that  we  build  the  two  new  colleges  and  that  Louisburg  College  remain  at 
Louisburg.

CONFERENCE  SURVEY  COMMITTEE 

The  Conference  Survey  Committee  has  led  in  a  careful  study  of  areas  of  need  in  our 
Conference  during  this  conference  year.  Careful  census  surveys  have  been  made  in  33 
communities,  covering  every  district  in  our  conference. 

Mr.  R.  L.  Turnage,  Jr.,  has  worked  faithfully  and  well  in  directing  this  survey  study 
of  local  communities  as  Director  of  Field  Work.  The  Duke  Foundation  has  co-operated 
with  this  committee  by  making  available  six  Duke  Divinity  School  students  who  helped 
in  this  study  during  the  summer  of  1955. 

Twelve  new  churches  have  been  organized  this  conference  year.  We  feel  this  work 
has  helped  make  these  possible,  as  well  as  others  which  shall  emerge  next  year.  In  some 
instances  communities  have  been  studied  to  the  end  that  recommendation  was  for  post- 
ponement of  organization  of  a  new  congregation.  We  feel  that  this  also  is  progress. 

These  studies  have  not  exhausted  the  study  and  planning  which  must  continue 
the  light  of  the  needs  already  revealed.  This  committee  will  also  be  available  to  discover 
information  vital  to  any  area  of  need  in  our  conference  and  may  assist  in  research  and 
survey  in  co-operation  with  other  major  boards  and  agencies  of  our  conference.  Thisi 
committee  will  assist  in  publicity  and  promotion  of  items  of  interest  to  our  conference 
members. 

We  recommend  that  Mr.  Turnage  be  retained  to  assist  in  the  work  of  this  Committee; 
and  work  in  co-operation  with  the  Boards  of  Missions,  Evangelism   and  Education,  as 
well  as  the  Town  and  Country  Commission.  We  feel  that  the  work  of  this  committee 
only  beginning   to  reach   its  maturity.   Therefore   we  recommend   that  the    Confereni 
Survey  Committee  be  continued,  and  its  services  expanded,  for  the  quadrennium  begii 
ning  in  1956.

WOMAN'S  SOCIETY  OF  CHRISTIAN  SERVICE  AND 
WESLEYAN  SERVICE  GUILD 

June  1,  1955-May  31,  1956 

In  the  history  of  our  church  we  close  and  begin  another  quadrennium.  In  tlie  Woman's 
ciety  of  Christian  Service  we  began  the  quadrennium  now  closing  with  exalted  goals. 
Some  of  these  goals  are  intangible  and,  therefore,  they  cannot  be  measured  with  ac- 
icuracy.  We  are  grateful  in  believing,  howe\'er,  that  real  progress  has  been  made  toward 
achieving  them,  and  that  our  progress  has  been  greatest  during  this,  tlie  last  year,  of 
the  quadrennium. 

Numbers  do  not  tell  a  complete  story  but  it  is  significant  that  there  has  been  a  large 
increase  in  the  total  membership  of  the  \\'oman's  Society  of  Christian  Service  and  tlie 
W'esleyan  Service  Guild,  the  organization  of  employed  women.  The  present  adult 
membership  is  approximately  thirty-five  thousand,  an  increase  during  this  quadrennium 
of  about  forty-five  hundred.  Real  progress  has  been  made  in  organizing  new  societies, 
'-■ighty-three  having  been  organized  during  the  past  four  years.  The  Conference  is  now 
not  far  from  complete  organization. 

Finances  do  not,  of  course,  tell  the  whole  story  of  achievement,  but  they  may  indi- 
cate; and,  in  the  story  of  our  conference  society,  they  do  reflect  real  progress.  The  con- 
iference  treasurer  has  received  for  missions,  during  the  year  1955-1956,  $198,393.93. 
(This  is  an  increase  over  the  previous  year  of  nearly  $10,000.  A  grand  total  of  $325,203.97 
Kvas  given  for  both  missions  and  local  work.  This  represents  an  increase  over  tlie  previous 
vear  of  $38,325.68.  We  give  thanks  that  our  women  have  seen  the  need  around  the 
world  and  ha\e  increased  their  financial  gifts  during  this  quadrennium  over  the  last 
iquadrennium  in  the  amount  of  $52,672.94. 

;  Plans  for  the  new  student  center  at  East  Carolina  College,  Greenville,  began  to 
^crystallize  in  midwinter.  We  expect,  sometime  this  year,  to  erect  a  beautiful,  adequate, 
brick  building  to  meet  the  needs  of  Methodist  students  there. 

I  Another  dream  about  to  be  fulfilled  is  the  establishment  of  work  among  the  Indians 
;)f  our  Conference.  A  deaconess  has  been  appointed  and  will  assume  her  duties  on 
!September  1,  1956. 

The  conference  society  is  grateful  for  the  fine  young  women  who  have  given  them- 
^t'Kes  to  full-time  Christian  service,  for  the  missionaries  supported  by  the  North  Car- 
^hna  Conference,  for  what  it  has  been  able  to  do  for  the  youth  of  our  conference,  for 
fhe  projects  established,  for  the  inspiration  given  by  those  who  are  leading,  and  for 
the  devotion  of  those  who  compose  our  membership. 

'  We  desire  to  express  our  appreciation  to  Bishop  Paul  N.  Garber  for  the  recognition 
lie  has  given  to  our  work.  Too,  we  would  record  appreciation  for  the  support  of  the 
listrict  superintendents  and  the  pastors. 

Our  theme  for  the  past  quadrennium  has  been  "That  the  Kingdom  of  God  May  Be 
Idealized."  This  has  been  pursued  with  humility  and  sincerity,  even  though  imperfectly 
reached.  We  now  turn  in  the  next  quadrennium  to  a  new  theme,  "The  Spirit  of  Christ — 
For  All  of  Life."  Whatever  may  be  the  theme  to  guide  and  to  inspire  Methodist  women, 
'he  purpose  of  the  Woman's  Society  of  Christian  Service  never  changes — "to  establish 
I  Christian  social  order  around  tlie  world."

MOTIONS 
MOTION  TO  BECOME  PART  OF  WORLD  SERVICE  AND  FINANCE  REPORT 

Report  No.  2 

Whereas,  the  Discipline  states  in  three  separate  instances  (Sections  304,  321  and 
2025)  a  definite  and  answering  position  against  the  use  of  tobacco  by  young  people, 
by  local  and  by  travelling  preachers  and  against  misleading  and  suggestive  advertise- 
ment for  the  promotion  of  the  sale  of  tobacco. 

Whereas,  the  1956  General  Conference  has  retained  and  reaffirmed  these  provisions. 
Whereas,  the  Discipline  states  (Section  T37)  that  Christian  as  well  as  sound  economic 
principles  shall  be  observed  in  the  handling  of  investment  funds. 

Whereas,  the  proposed  Report  No.  2,  of  the  Commission  on  World  Service  and 
Finance,  Re:  Methodist  Fund  Inc.,  shows  a  holding  by  the  Methodist  Fund  of  200 
'shares  of  3.60- r  Preferred  Stock  of  the  R.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco  Company  at  a  cost  of 
817,786.85,  with  an  expected  dividend  of  $720. 

I  Whereas,  we,  the  North  Carolina  Conference,  recognize  the  inconsistency  between 
the  mandates  of  the  Discipline  and  the  above  stock  holding  and  desire  to  correct  this 
inconsistency;  Therefore,  we  move  that  the  Commission  on  World  Service  and  Finance 
and  the  members  of  the  Methodist  Fund,  Inc.,  be  directed  to  liquidate  immediately  all 
holdings  in  the  R.  J.  Reynolds  Tobacco  Company,  that  they  be  directed  to  refrain  from

CONCERNING  APPROVED  SUPPLY  PASTORS  AND  LOCAL  PREACHERS 

Numerous  complaints  ha\e  reached  the  Board  of  Ministerial  Training  and  Qualifi- 
cation concerning  the  quality  of  some  men  who  have  been  recommended  by  the  North! 
Carolina  Annual  Conference  and  sent  out  to  minister  to  Methodist  congregations.  We  arei 
aware  that  some  unlettered  men  have  wrought  wonders  for  the  Kingdom  of  God  but  we 
also  know  that  in  a  day  of  advancing  education  and  training,  standards  must  be  main- 
tained; therefore,  we  are  offering  this  resolution  which  sets  up  what  we  consider  to  bi 
minimimi  requirements. 

We  recommend  that  ordinarily  no  person  begin  an  Approved  Supply  status  who  i 
over  40  years  of  age;  and,  further,  that  no  man  without  a  High  School  diploma  W 
recommended  for  the  same  status.  We  further  recommend  to  District  Committees  oi 
Ministerial  Qualifications  that  no  person  without  a  High  School  diploma  be  given  loca 
preacher's  license.  ^     ^^     Howard,   Jr.,    Registrar

SCOPE  OF  EXAMINATION 

Our  examination  was  made  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing 
.andards.  and  accordlnely  included  such  tests  of  the  accounting  records  and  such 
i;her  auditing  procedures  as  we  considered  necessary  in  the  circumstances,  some 
,."atures  of  which  are  referred  to  in  the  outline  that  follows  on  specific  items. 
I  Cash  on  deposit  was  confirmed  directlv  with  the  b^nks.  Recorded  cash  receints 
;ere  traced  to  their  subsenuent  denn^it  in  the  bank  on  a  test  basis,  and  disburse- 
lents  were  verified  by  test  examination  of  cancelled  checks  and  naid  invoices  or 
'itborizations.  Income  from  charges  as  shown  by  the  Treasurer's  records  was 
.imparpd  with  reports  of  the  pastors  to  the  Annual  Conference  on  a  test  basis, 
fie  Treaonrer  renuested  the  pastors  from  all  charees  in  which  there  was  a 
la^^erial  difference  between  pastors'  report  and  treasurer's  records  to  recheck  the 
■laree  records  and  advise  as  to  any  corrections  to  be  made.  We  examined  all 
nlies  and  determined  that  necessary  adjustments  were  made.  Distribution  of 
icome  from  the  charepc  was  auditprl  bv  rpfprpnce  fn  the  report  of  the  Commis<?ion 
[I  World  Service  and  Finance  for  the  1955  and  1956  sessions  of  the  Annual  Con- 
jrpTirp  and  by  reference  to  proper  authorization  from  the  various  boards  of  the 
Imference. 

•  Investments  of  the  Treasurer  and  the  various  boards  and  funds  were  either 
pnected.  or.  if  held  by  an  outside  agent,  confirmed  by  direct  confirmation  during 
e  course  of  our  audit. 

Cash  receipts  in  transit  represent  1955-56  collections  received  by  the  Treasurer 
bsenuent  to  the  balance  sheet  date  and  were  set  un  from  deposits  in  the  banks, 
.^counts  and  apportionments  payable  were  set  up  from  disbursements  subsequent 
rthe  bpianpp  shpot  dote  and  by  reference  to  proper  authorizations  for  the  distribu- 
im  of  1955-56  collections.
