In accordance with the Plan of Episcopal Visitation, the North
Indiana Annual Conference convened in its seventy-sixth session
in the First Methodist Episcopal Church, Peru, Indiana, Bishop
Thomas Nicholson, D.D., LL.D., presiding.
The Bishop called the Conference to order at 8.30, and on his

"And are we yet alive,"
and the national hymn,
"My Country, 'tis of thee."
After the singing of two stanzas of the latter, at the request of the
Bishop, Leslie J. Naftzger and Fred B. Fisher led in prayer.
For a Scripture lesson the Bishop read selections from the first
and second chapters of the Acts of the Apostles and gave a very
helpful and interesting exposition of the same.
The Lord's Supper, — With the assistance of the District Super-
intendents and the pastor of the local church the Bishop then con-
ducted the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper. He closed this beauti-
ful and impressive service by the use of the Lord's Prayer and the
singing of the 540th hymn,
"O, could I speak the matchless worth."

FORT WAYNE DISTRICT.
Wallace W. Martin, District Superintendent.
Bishop Nicholson and Brethren: I am presenting my third annual report.
So favorably has God dealt with us that during these three years no funeral
has been held from the home of any Methodist minister within the terri-
tory. Brother Frank S. Hickman and his
wife have been sorely afflicted through the
loss of their only child by the dreaded
disease, diphtheria, while the father was at-
tending theological school in Boston, Mass.,
and theirs was a sad journey back to In-
diana. Some of our parsonages have had
serious illness. We come with thankful
hearts to acknowledge the kindness of our
heavenly Father.
Church Property. — Minor improvements
have been made in many of our charges in
"parsonage and church property, ranging in
cost to $600 or $700 in several charges.
At Fremont the parsonage has been sold,
and a modern home has been purchased for
the home of the pastor.
The church at Nevada Mills, on the
Orland charge, was completely remodeled
at an expense of $5,500, and was dedicated
by the district superintendent on December
8th. A fine surplus was provided by the
members and friends of the church, and new life and interest attends its
religious service's. The pastor, J. K. Wyant, deserves much credit for the
success of this enterprise.
Within the year, Garrett, under the leadership of Chas. Tinkham, has
paid the last dollar on the indebtedness on the their new church, and a sur-
plus of $500 reduced the debt on the new parsonage to that amount. $S,900
was paid for this purpose by this heroic people.
The debt on the parsonage at Monroe has been paid. The pastor, L.
M. Krider, led in this movement, and $2,000 was raised and applied.
$2,736 have been raised and applied to the payment of debt and interest
at Simpson Church.
$1,400 has been paid on the debt at St. Joe on the Ft. Wayne circuit.
$1,000 has been applied to the debt at Ossian. Other lesser amounts
have been paid in many charges.
Revivals. — Our revivals have been greatly hindered. Large plans had
been made by many of the brethren, only to have them postponed by health
authorities or by health conditions. Nevertheless some excellent meetings
were held.
The largest number of conversions and reclamations is reported on
the Bobo charge, J. F. Stephenson, pastor, 114. Blufifton is next with 100,
W. T. Arnold, pastor. Montpelier is next with sixty-six conversions, the
pastor being J. O. Powell. First Church, Ft. Wayne, and Trinity report
fifty-five each. Geneva Circuit has fifty-four, and Monroe forty-one. Last
year_ there were several charges in my district that did not report any con-
versions, but I am glad to report that in every charge in the district there
have been some conversions this year.
472 •
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 473
Our pastors report 1,079 accessions. There have been 187 deaths and
176 have been placed in non-resident list. Other removals have brought
the total number of removals up to 879, which would indicate a net gain
of 200 in full members. However, when I subtract the number of full
members reported to the conference last year from the number of full
members reported to me this year, I discover that we have but a margin of
forty-one, which is dangerously near the red figure on one of the most im-
portant phases of our work. A distress signal was sent the brethren, and
more than 100 members were enrolled on the last Sunday of the year.
At the district conference, held recently at Decatur, plans were laid
for simultaneous meetings for our district next year, a district commission
having been appointed to report at the spring meeting on plans. A con-
versation with the Bishop reveals the fact that for this area he deems this
the next essential drive, and we shall be glad to see the North Indiana
Conference lay its plans at this session for this work; and in Ft. Wayne
district we shall be happy to fall in with such plans as the conference
may adopt.
On June 6th last, the Hope Methodist Hospital, in the city of Ft.
Wayne, was formally dedicated; the address being given by Bishop Francis
J. McConnell. It has been self-supporting from the beginning. During the
scourge of influenza this hospital served the city of Ft. Wayne in a highly
commendable way, and was the means of opening all the hospitals in
Ft. Wayne for the care of such patients. We were very fortunate in that
while several deaths occurred among the nurses of the other hospitals in
Ft. Wayne, not a nurse in our institution was seriously ill. Thus another
influential institution is serving to place Methodism at the front in Ft.
Wayne.
Still another conference institution should be brought into existence.
It may be that it is time to begin the building, but our conference corpora-
tion has a large tract of land, subject to a life tenure, that is given for
the purpose of caring for an Orphanage. This is not immediately available.
However, if we were incorporated as an orphanage association, and this
was published in our minutes through wills and from other sources, we
would receive aid that would assist greatly in launching such an institu-
tion. I am fairly certain that if we had such a corporation there is a man,
not a member of the Methodist church, and who would not know about our
North Indiana Conference Corporation, who will make provision for
$30,000 to come to such an institution. In such a movement we would
have support of Boards of Children's guardians, who do not have such an
institution in Northeastern Indiana, where they can place their wards. At
the proper time it is my purpose to move that this conference provide for
such a corporation, and name incorporators, that we may take advantage of
such opportunities, leaving to the judgment of the incorporators and the
conference, when such an institution shall be launched.
Benevolences. — Again we rejoice in the way in which the pastors and
laymen are responding to the call of the church for the redemption of the
world. And now a new name leads in the advance, a charge that has not
during our knowledge met its full apportionment, hertofore, this year
pays in full and furnishes the largest increase in the district. Ossian, W.
E. Hamilton, pastor, reports an increase of $1,132; Blufifton, W. T. Arnold,
pastor, is next with an increase of $688; Decatur, F. F. Thornburg, pastor,
$1,750; First Church, Ft. Wayne, .A. G. Neal, pastor, $301; Auburn, F. A.
Hall, pastor, $1,115; Monroe, L. M. Krider, pastor, $200; Simpson, Ft.
Wayne, U. S. A. Bridge, pastor, $196; Garrett, Chas. Tinkham, pastor, $140;
Geneva, D. A. J. Brown, pastor, $114; Wayne Street, Ft. Wayne, J. F.
Porter, pastor, $100; Bobo, J. F. Stephenson, pastor, $99; and advances of
lesser amounts distributed over nearly all the other charges of the dis-
trict, and the aggregate advance in disciplinary benevolences is $13,000. The
twelve churches of the district showing the largest total amount for Discip-
linary benevolences are as follows: ist, Blufifton, $5,823; 2d, First Church,
Decatur, $3,850; 3d, First Church, Auburn, $3,180; 4th, First Church, Ft.
Wayne, $2,246; 5th, Ossian, $1,500; 6th, Wayne Street, Ft. Wayne, $i,4-i;
7th, Simpson, Ft. Wayne, $r,i8i; 8th, Garrett, $850; Qth, Orland, $790; loth.
Trinity, Ft. Wayne, $785; nth, Angola. $623; r2th, Monroe. $608. Many
474 North Indiana Conference [1919
of those who report less amounts have achieved just as nobly, oftentimes in
restricted fields, and in some instances have reached nearer lOO per cent
of the possibilities than some who report the larger amounts. All have
tried heroically to reach the full apportionment, and out of the forty charges
of this district, thirty-nine have reached the full apportionment or more for
the disciplinary benevolences. We have carefully gone over the figures, and
we are prepared to say that if this year and the five years of the Centenary
wc make only the same per cent of gain annually as we made last year
and the preceding year in Ft. Wayne district, we will reach the full Centenary
quota in Ft. Wayne district within the five years of the Centenary and have
$285,273 to spare; and the district for this year makes the same gain per cent
as the two previous years. The entire quota for Ft. Wayne district for the
Centenary, the other six boards, and our conference benevolences, per
annum is $93,083. The district took formal action to raise this to $100,000
per annum, and made its pledge officially to reach the full amount. This
district is credited with being fully organized for the Centenary in each
charge, we have r,6oo enrolled intercessors, and now 1,500 Christian Stewards.
Preachers' Aid Endowment Campaign. — During this year, Rev. R. A.
Morrison, general secretary of the Preachers' Aid Society, with Rev. J. C.
Woodruflf, assistant, and aided briefly by J. W. Oborn and J. Frank Anderson,
and on all occasions by the pastors of Ft. Wayne district, have prosecuted
this Endowment campaign in Ft. Wayne district. A high mark had been
set by Goshen district. Dr. Wade of that district had reported at the
annual conference last year that they were on the last $1,000 of the $too,ooo
for Goshen district. We have been inspired further by the information
that additional amounts have been subscribed during this year, bringing
the Goshen district total to $129,000. Our general secretary fell ill during
this campaign, and for three months he slipped down into the shadows,
passing through a serious surgical operation at Mayo Brothers' institution
at Rochester, Minn., and coming up again, under the blessing of God in
answer to many prayers, and is again at the task of making brighter the
pathway of the veterans of the Cross. On the goal- of $r,ooo,ooo for the
conference, our share of which in Ft. Wayne district is $150,000, he
reports that in Ft. Wayne district, in cash subscriptions, annuities, proper-
ties, and after-death bonds, the total amount pledged in Ft. Wayne district
is now $151,300. It is apparent that this campaign has not injured any other
cause. On the contrary we have already reported an increase of more than
$13,000 in the disciplinary benevolences; and conference benevolences
are being well cared for, and salaries are also advancing.
Salaries. — The average cash salary in Ft. Wayne district for this year
just closing for members of the conference and probationers is $1,433.
For the year now closing the following charges increased cash salaries of
pastors as indicated: Angola $200, Auburn $200. Auburn Circuit $100. Bluff-
ton Circuit $100, Bobo $roo, Decatur Circuit $30, Fiat $100, Simpson, Ft.
Wayne, at 4th Quarterly Conference. $200, Trinity, Ft. Wayne $100, Ft.
Wayne Circuit $100. Fremont $100, Garrett $200, Geneva Circuit $100, Hoag-
land $50, Kingsland $100, Monroe $200, Monroeville $200, Montpelier $200,
New Haven $200, Pleasant Mills $200, Ray $100, York $50. Blufifton also
added $200 at the end of the year; twenty-four charges out of forty. We
have held before the people the need of the rural church. And we have
held as a goal to be attained the planning of our work so that every rural
church shall have public worship every "Sunday. The response has been
fine. The Coesse charge divides: and Coesse and Jefiferson chapel will pay
$1,000, the amount paid by four churches this year. Areola and Lake
Chapel will pay $1,100 and furnish a house. The funds are already pledged.
Flmt becomes the head of a charge with Salem Centre, and they pay $1,000
cash salary, and Orland, with two churches, instead of three, continues the
salary of $1,200. Harlan becomes a station and continues at $1,000 salary,
and Woodburn and Scipio form a two-point work with $1,000 salary. Hart-
ford from the Geneva Circuit and Union chapel from the Fiat work be-
come a two-point work and pay $900 cash salary. These are some instances
of the movement inaugurated to save the rural church. And we must save
the rural church. What will our city churches do when there are no mem-
bers moving m from the country churches? But I would not have you
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 475
think that the rural charge is the only charge that is moving up.
For the coming year changes in salary over that fixed at the first quarterly
conference the past year are as follows: Blufifton, from $2,500 to $2,800;
First Church, Ft. Wayne, from $2,500 to $2,700; Simpson Church, Ft. Wayne,
from $2,000 to $2,500; Trinity Church, Ft. Wayne, from $1,600 to $1,800;
St. Paul, Ft. Wayne, from $1,200 to $1,500; Decatur, from $2,300 to $2,500;
Garrett, from $2,200 to $2,400; Auburn, from $2,200 to $2,500; Fremont, from
$1,500 to $1,700; Montpelier, from $1,400 to $1,500; and there are others
that move in the same direction. The total advances in salaries not in-
cluding rental value of parsonages is -for the pastors of Ft. Wayne district,
either as fixed by the quarterly conference or as recommended by estimat-
ing committees for the next conference year, $7,585.
The Epworth League and other Societies. — The reports from our ladies
show that that the advance in the w^ork of the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society and Woman's Home Missionary Society is very fine. Some charges
have doubled their leadership and offerings. The Ladies' Aid Societies
are doing fine work. They are not only aiding financially, but socially and
spiritually. A recent address of Mrs. R. L. Bowers, of Auburn, before our
district conference, publication of which was requested in the "Western,"
would make an admirable manual for the ladies of these societies. Its plans
would lift these societies from the realm of thoughtless criticism to great
church favor universally. The Epworth Leagues of the district on Labor
Day, in connection with their booth, contributed in cash and provisions
$1,200 to the Hope Methodist Hospital.
The big drive has been on during this thirtieth anniversary of the
founding of the Epworth League. Certain points of the forward move-
ment have been established by the Central office. Bishop Leonard, the
president of the Board of Control, has given a beautiful silk banner, which
is to go for one month at a time to the Episcopal area, which during the
previous month has the most points of advance to its credit, then to
the conference in that area, and thence to the district in that conference
similarly. This banner has traveled widely. It has been in San" Francisco
area once. It has been in the Cincinnati area once, and in the Indiana
conference once. It has been in the Washington area once. It has been
in the Buffalo area twice. It has been in the Chicago area five times. It
has come to the North Indiana Conference five times. It has come to the
Ft. Wayne district five times, and since there remain but two more months
before its final resting place is found, it is comforting to us in Ft. Wayne
district to know that the only remaining place for competition is for second
place. All honor to these Leaguers of Ft. Wayne district. But why not
here? There was an Epworth League in old Berry Street before the general
organization was effected at Epworth Church thirty years ago, and the
man who gave the Epworth League its name is none other than the Rev.
J. K. Walts, twice pastor of Berry Street Church, and a member of the
first Board of Control of the Epworth League. I take a personal pleasure
in this matter since I happen to be on this Board of Control, and am honored
with the chairmanship of its executive committee. I am informed likewise
recently that I have appointment to represent the Board of Control in the
organization of the Centenary work among the young people of this con-
ference. We shall need to plan soon and largely to carry forward our great
program. What can all the Centenary do with all its money unless the
young life of the church shall respond in life service to the call of God and the
church to carry forward at home and abroad the divine program for saving
a sinful world?
The tomorrow of the church calls for consecrated youths who shall
dedicate themselves for the ministry and other forms of religious work,
and for laymen who shall see in the large our world opportunities. Back
of every endeavor of the church lies our hope in the Methodist youth.
Bishop Nicholson, by reference to your records, you will tind that not
a station in Ft. Wayne district requested the removal of any pastor last
year. This year again the same condition exists. There is not a station
in my district where the pastor may not return.
We were honored in Ft. Wayne district with the presence of our
resident Bishop, March 9th, loth, and nth. His excellent sermons and
476
North Indiana Conference
[1919
addresses, his close study of our city needs, his aid in the formation of our
Methodist Union of Churches in Ft. Wayne, will materially aid m the
prosecution of our work in this growing center of population. With this
word of appreciation for our resident Bishop, with an expression of pro-
found gratitude to all the pastors of the district whose work and achieve-
ment f am reporting, with acknowledgment of all the fine co-operation
upon the part of the laymen, whose generous support of the church has
strengthened our hands, and above all with a sense of the Divine aid so
much needed, the grace from on high, the illuminating Presence, I close
this, my third annual report.
GOSHEN DISTRICT.
R. J. Wade, District Euperintendent.
Bishop Nicholson and Brothers: This has been at once the busiest and
most successful year of my life. All has not been accomplished that could
have been desired, but more has been wrought than hitherto. Time and
attention has been divided between district
and area, I trust, to the disadvantage of
neither. Four times within recent months
conn^ctional positions have been tendered,
the acceptance of which would normally
mean the relinquishment of regular con-
ference work.
When the request came for service as
manager of the Chicago Area in the Con-
ference Claimants Campaign I urged the ad-
vantage of holding my present position on
tlie district as expedient from the standpoint
I if a representative who was going to and
fro as a fellow laborer in the task. The ar-
rangement was finally sanctioned by the
Board, approved by the district, and I was
enabled to serve without salary expense to
the Board, such remuneration being pro-
vided for by the district. This proved to be
a successful, but in several respects a per-
sonally costly experiment. ,
I was just beginning once more, follow-
ing the intensive period of that campaign, to become acquainted with my
family when my home was disquieted by the importunity of the Centenary
appeal from the area standpoint, the national organization urging the giv-
ing of my entire time as area secretary. To this call in that form, after prayer,
I could not secure consent of mind or heart. Many men were serving the
government and business in dual capacity. As a war emergency proposition
I finally agreed, if the district should consent, to ofifer my services as before,
without salary conpensation. To this proposition the district generously
assented, and the Bishop and Centenary officials agreed. Since the first of
August, therefore, I have done double duty without vacation or a day's
intermittence. The heavenly Father has been very good to me. I have not
missed a single day from sickness, and have been enabled to hold every
Quarterly Conference in each of the quarters on each charge with the ex-
ception of a combination in three instances. I do not believe in combination
of second and third Quarterly Conferences, except in extraordinary instances.
A big church ought to have a program worth consideration in every charge
by special Quarterly Conference session at least four times each year. Our
laymen all over the area, I find, like that plan best.
In the heavier work of this year, I have rejoiced in the fine support of our
Chicago Area Methodist laymen and preachers; and I have had the cordial
R. J. Wade.
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 477
co-operation of district superintendents and Bishop. Who would not give
himself unstintedly when surrounded with such Christly toilers! For such a
Christ, with such a program, in such company, "toil is pleasure;" and, "if
I may, I'll serve another day," until the Centenary has swept on to glorious
victory.
Following a fine pastors' and stewards' meeting, held in St. Mark's.
Goshen, soon after conference, it was decided to attempt a six-fold financial
drive, in order to clear the decks for the Centenary. The items included
Goshen district's apportionment for the War Fund, the Purdue Student
Pastor's Home, the General Conference expenses, the Indiana Methodist
Hospital, the Asbury Memorial Statue, and other benevolent items. Kendall-
ville sub-district was the first "over," followed quickly by others. All items
are either paid or provided for. When it is recalled that this campaign
followed immediately on the heels of the Conference Claimants Campaign,
which exceeded all expectations, and netted over $130,000 in signed assets,
the letter of H. Earl Coe, of Corunna, on May 17th, to the district superin-
tendent, is significant: "The whole apportionment for Wayne Center, as well
as Corunna, is now subscribed with $1.50 to the good. Over the top and be-
yond; with this skirmish done we're ready to tackle something harder."
This expression of young Coe's characterized the entire district, and points
the way to Centenary achievement. Unfortunately this valiant young knight
met death by accident, drowning near Corunna, August 13, 1918. The year,
on this charge, has been successfully concluded by another fine accession to
our hero list — Claude E. Adams.
This change was but the forerunner of numerous others: S. L. Yoder
was released in July to attend DePauw University; and Kimmel has been
faithfully shepherded since by Forest E. Listenfelt, a DePauw graduate.
About the same time R. E. Zeigler, of Nappanee, brilliant, spiritual, and
soldierly, was commissioned chaplain by Uncle Sam, and has been con-
tinuously stationed in charge of our great tuberculosis hospital camp at
Whipple Barracks, Arizona. R. R. Detweiler was transferred from Bristol,
while Bristol increased support to secure Steuart D. White, who had won all
hearts at the Wawasee Epworth League Institute. Both appointments have
met with deserved approval. Garfield Dawe heeded the war call for enlist-
ment, October ist, and A. E. Scotten was released from. Ft. Wayne district for
the vacancy. Because of scarcity of houses in Stroh, he has been compelled to
labor under the handicap of living at Rome Citj^ away from the charge. First
Church, Dallas, Texas, sought one and then another of our promising young
men. C. L. De Bow inclined to the opportunity, was transferred, and about
December ist, R. W. Stoakes secured release from the War Camp Com-
munity secretaryship to accept La Grange, where the year's work has closed
most successfully. V. L. Clear was given about September ist, a lieutenant's
commission to become an instructor in small arms at the camps. After serv-
ing the cause to the close of the war. North Webster, having been kept
open, he returned to his earlier labors; the people of the charge giving him
a present of $200 to get started again. R. V. Johnson was released for the
chaplaincy, but the termination of the war held him to Milford, to the joy
of the people, who increase the salary next year. W. B. Morgan was offered
an attractive position as general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and felt under
the compulsion of acceptance. He was released from Wakarusa, and later
J. M. Jordan, of Osceola, was appointed at an advance in salary, and has
successfully completed the year's activities on both charges. Brother J. B.
Cook assisting. A royal body of retired ministers are related to Goshen
district.
In addition to those already referred to, the following have seen service
in France: K. H. Carlson, L. D. Hershberger, Justin Morrison, and Earle
Naftzger, with the Y. M. C. A. Brothers Morrison and Naftzger are still
"over there." The service flags of Goshen district carry 1,407 stars, many of
silver and a few of gold. One of the gold stars represents a Bristol official
member. Opening the year's district superintendent Record Book, I have
been confronted with the name of the recording secretary of the first
Quarterly Conference of the year. Noble E. Greiner, of the Wawasee life-
478 North Indiana Conference [1919
service decision list, as clean and true a young man as served Old Glory. I
am not unmindful of closing last year's report with the prayer:
"God bring Old Glory home in honor, might and pride!
Battle-black and bullet slashed and stripes streaming wide,
Gorgeous with the memories of men who greatly died —
God bring Old Glory home!"
A veteran of the parsonage, one of the finest souls who ever lived, was the
wife of Brother C. H. Wilkinson, she too "greatly died" as she had greatly
lived. June was the date of her departure. The devoted wife of Brother
J. C. Graham, of Albion, after a long battle, entered rest in the late fall.
Hers was a choice spirit and her reward must be great.
The home of Brother and Sister Wilkinson, at Rome City, was pur-
chased as a parsonage; Brother Wilkinson, Mrs. W. R. Wones, her brother,
and Gene Stratton Porter, making liberal contributions. It becomes the
Mary Wilkinson Memorial Home on the new Rome City charge. The old
parsonage at Waterloo was sold, and a more desirable location and better
building secured. The pastor, Rev. S. F. Harter, ably managed the exchange
and superintended the rebuilding of the newer parsonage. The Warsaw
congregation has arranged temporarily the housing of their beloved pastor
in the house owned by and adjoining the church. Helpful repairs have been
made on the Bourbon, Bourbon Circuit, Leesburg, Pierceton, Wakarusa,
South Milford, and other parsonages, while the parsonages at Nappanee,
New Paris, St. Mark's. Goshen, and South Milford became the homes of the
accomplished brides of Brothers Zeigler, Hochstetler, Lamport, and Michel.
Little strangers, to the joy of parent's hearts, were welcomed into the
manse of the Smith's at Cromwell, Detweiler's at Nappanee, and Mott of
Goshen.
Church Buildings. — Due to the cessation of building activities during the
war, one church building alone is under way — Pierceton. The work of
preparation so well begun by the former pastor, G. F. Hubbartt, has been
prosecuted even more successfully by G. E. Whitten, whose return is
urged at an advanced salary. A new and larger church became an absolute
necessity. A fine new $20,000 brick structure, after the type of our Etna
Green Church, will be dedicated this summer. This charge has led in
Stewardship, and this winter has led in revival endeavor.
Debts. — Bourbon ended the first quarter of the year under the pastorate
of T. M. Hill, with eighteen accessions, and the payment of the old church
building debt of $3,535. In my absence at Lake Junaluska, N. C, as a rep-
resentative of the Church North to the Church South, my father assisted
in the special debt-paying service, and Brother Hill wrote that he was at
his best. This has been a great year on the Bourbon charge. A small,
long-standing debt was paid off at Inwood through the leadership of W. E.
Loveless, who likewise directed the redecorating at Bethel, where my father
again preached at the reopening. St. Paul, Elkhart, has reduced the in-
debtedness by $850, Simpson, Elkhart, $400, Wolcottville $400, Lees-
burg, $3,400, Tippecanoe $4,000, Warsaw $4,900, Etna Green $3,500, Nappanee
$850, Topeka $350, and La Grange $200.
Conference Claimants. — Commendable progress has been made toward
the payment of these campaign pledges. $29,000 has been added during the
year. I trust the conference will readopt Veteran's Day, and make it the
occasion not only of the decoration of the graves of ministers and members,
but the occasion of revivifying interest annually in this appealing cause, until
our needed $1,000,000 is in the treasury. Twice during the year Goshen
distnc^ sent to Illinois a good delegation of experienced pastors to help in
their Conference Claimants Campaign. The men acquitted themselves well.
A few have rendered similar service in Ft. Wayne district.
District Meetings.— In addition to the Settlement Day referred to pre-
viously, an enthusiastic Epworth League Convention was held at Nappanee-
and a splendid Woman's Home Missionary Society Convention in First
Church, Goshen, in June. The "flu" prevented the contemplated Woman's
foreign Missionary Society Convention in La Grange, but did not prevent
a notable district advance in gifts and work. Our annual Mobilization
Campaign opened at Kendallville, September 17th, each district superintend-
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 479
ent appearing on the program and actjuitting himself creditably. The pro-
gram was carried down to each charge in a helpful series of meetings, in-
volving JNlembership Rallies, Patriotic Night, World Night, Sunday School
and Epworth League Night. The Settlement Day and Sundaj' School In-
stitute was held in Trinity, Elkhart, in December, and the climax of the year
was the District Conference at Leesburg.
The Epworth League Institute, at Wawasee, last summer, surpassed
previous unique records just as this year's institute gives promise of further
excellence. It will repay every pastor and church to secure representation
by a big delegation.
Ministerial Support. — The District Stewards recommended that the
district superintendent of Goshen district do not appoint a man to any charge
next year that cannot arrange a minimum support of at least $i,ooo plus
house. In harmony with this recommendation, Corunna, Cromwell, Wawaka,
Kimmell. Valentine, Goshen Circuit, and the new Rome City charge have
acted. Wolcottville becomes a station paj'ing $1,350 salary, the same as both
points last j^ear, and insists that W. T. Daly, the man whose labors so
strengthened the church, is to make this result possible, and who built the
new parsonage, shall continue to be its occupant. Tippecanoe seeks station
honor and makes similar request for pastor, A. P. Teter. Behold a miracle!
A few years ago Tippecanoe, sin-cursed and one of the darkest spots, not
only in Marshall County, but in Indiana, from the standpoint of Sunday
school and church membership! A tabernacle revival, a Methodist Episcopal
class organized, a fine brick church constructed, a rejuvenated sister church,
an enthusiastic band of followers in our church, consisting of mernbers
and asking for the full time of a pastor and promising adequate support,
a truly reconstructed communit}^
Salary advances have been arranged as follows: Topeka $100. Misha-
waka $200, Milford $100, Pierceton $100, Kendallville $200, Wakarusa $100,
Trinit}^ Elkhart, $300, Bristol $100, Warsaw Circuit $120, Albion $100.
Bourbon $100, Ligonier $100, Butler $100, Leesburg $200; Benton, Warsaw,
and others with amounts not yet reported. Over half the charges report in-,
creases for next year.
Memberships and Church Records. — Goshen district led the districts of
the Conference in membership gain last j-ear. What has occurred this year
I do not know, except that almost all pastors have reported increases. Is
it not passing strange that so frequently when a new pastor comes it
is discovered that the lecords are in need of serious revision — usually a
reflection, I fear, not only on the m_an who goes but on the man who comes,
making the discovery? I have actually known three men who found more
names legitimately on the church membership record than were reported
by the predecessor in the minutes of the preceding year. Brothers, we need
a generation of careful record-keepers in the ministry: and we need a new
and better-prepared membership record book. I have yet to hear a com-
mendatory word concerning the revised membership record as prepared by
the committee authorized by the last General Conference. It is incon-
venient, inadequate, and does not lend itself to permanency. Goshen Dis-
trict Conference unanimously adopted a resolution requesting our annual
conference to memorialize the General Conference in this regard. Rather
than the present new-church membership record books, give us the old
ideal; rather than the present impossible Quarterly Conference Record,
give us most anything. Rather than the present inconvenient conference
statistical and treasurer's report-blanks, give us North Indiana's old sys-
tem of report blanks — at once simple and complete, the product of the brain
and heart of T. C. Neal, one of the best statisticians any conference ever had.
Revivals. — Usual evangelistic activities have not been possible and.
where possible, because of the fear of the influenza have not been as pro-
ductive of results. Strategy has called for larger emphasis on pastoral and
individual evangelists. During the prevalence of the epidemic, many pas-
tors used bulletins and newspapers. The following charges report ten or
more converts: Bourbon 15. Kendallville 15, Leesburg 30, Goshen, First.
75, St. Paul, Elkhart, 20, Osceola 40, Howe 14, Bourbon Circuit 12, Simpson,
Elkhart, 20, Wawaka 14, Syracuse 10, Warsaw 25, Warsaw Circuit 15. Misha-
48o North Indiana Conference [1919
\v;ika 24, and Pierceton 50 — a total, including members revived and back-
sliders reclaimed, of i,003. « <- • .
It was my privilege to be present at the recent Area Secretaries meeting.
A resolution which was adopted to turn the entire Centenary machinery oyer
next year to promote a church-wide evangelistic and membership drive.
Conference evangelist Earle Naftzger has served overseas in the terrible
St. Mihiel drive, his regiment losing most of its men. J. W. Oborn has done
excellent service in stewardship evangelism, securing 2,541 tithers.
Advocates. — In spite of the advance in price our list of subscribers has
increased, representing a net gain of perhaps 200.
Benevolences. — For the fourth year in succession Goshen district has
maintained its record, unique in Methodism, of no charge "falling down."
There will be this year more 100 per cent charges than ever and a marked
advance at every point. The Purdue Wesley Foundation is overpaid, the
general conferences expenses are all paid, and there will be a gain on
the eight boards. The totals range from $14,000 at Mishawaka, an in-
crease of more than $1,000 at Warsaw, and proportionately down to the
smallest charge. Many thousands of dollars have been subscribed to
DePauw and to other great causes.
The Centenary. — Stewardship campaigns were greatly interfered with,
but more than 2,865 members of the Fellowship of Intercession have been
listed; 659 enrolled as members of the Methodist Million; and thirty-seven
life decisions reported. The way had been so thoroughly prepared for the
Centenary at Kendallville by that skillful general, F. A. LeMaster, that this
charge became the first, not only in the district but first in the conference to
pass its quota, striving with St. Paul's, Decatur, for first position in the area.
That the Centenary does not exhaust our resources or stand in the way of
other needs is evidenced by the action of this Quarterly Conference, ask-
ing for the return of Rev. LeMaster at an increase of salary of not less than
$200, and insisting upon his return because he was the man to build a new
church this year; and, as further evidence of their sincerity and intention,
declared that if through any deserved promotion he did not return the
conference must be sure to send them a church builder.
The second church in the district to tackle the Centenary finance was
Leesburg. My father remained over a day after the District Conference
to help Brother Herbert Boase, and by nightfall three-fourths of their
apportionment was written; the remainder followed quickly. Spurred on
by this victory, Syracuse was eager to tackle the job. My father assisted
Brother F. H. Cremean here also, and the third victory was registered. In
such instance the Centenary quota was secured in straight pledges with estate
notes, annuities and wills to help in the surplus. Other churches are work-
ing — Napanee, Bourbon, and Bourbon Circuit are nearing the goal.
The most striking victory in the Area is at Etna Green, Edwin Dick-
son, pastor. Their goal is not the quota but the quota trebled, plus paying
the last of the church debt on the new building and a long, outstanding,
current expense obligation. Through the magnificent leadership of this
pastor, who built the church, and is closing his sixth year, heartily seconded
by the laymen, on last Sunday the entire indebtedness was paid, and to
cover a Centenary quota of $9,110, there has been subscribed in all forms
$21,525 to date, with more to follow.
No call has ever gripped the church as has this call. Every experienced
solicitor declares that it is the easiest money he has ever tried to raise. Our
people, young and old, are responding in eager life consecration. The
Centenary ushers in a New Era. This New Crusade promises the biggest
things the world has ever known. We come to a new day. All hail the day!
"It is coming! It is coming! The day is just dawning
When man shall be to fellow man a helper, and a brother.
It IS coming! It is coming! and men's thoughts are growing deeper-
I hey are giving of their millions as they never gave before-
rhey are learning the new gospel; man must be his brother's keeper
And right, not might, shall triumph, and the selfish rule no more." "
To hasten this new day we pledge our utmost endeavor.

B. S. Hollopeter.
LOGANSPORT DISTRICT.
B. S. Hollopeter, District Superintendent.
Bishop and Brethren: This has been the most eventful year through
which the church has ever passed. The world conditions have greatly added
to our problems and multiplied our responsibilities, but it has given us un-
dreamed of opportunities to put Christ be-
fore the world as its only hope.
On the I2th of August, Dr. William D.
Parr closed his earthly career after a very
brief illness. His funeral service was held
from Grace Church, Kokomo, the following
Thursday, in charge of the pastor, Dr. W.
B. Freeland. Many prominent men of the
church took part in the service. He was a
notable figure among us and will be greatly
missed at the sessions of our conference.
The following changes have taken place
during the year: Peoria and Somerset were
taken from the Sante Fe charge and formed
into the Peoria Circuit; and Rev. R. A.;
Sanks. who had just graduated from Ohio;
Wesleyan University, became the pastor.
This charge will pay $1,000 cash salary, andj
furnish a parsonage for the pastor and hisj
new wife. J^IcGrawsville was added to Santa!
Fe, and E. C. Fisher has a good two-point!
$1,000 charge. J. F. Edwards, who was ap-
pointed to Sheridan, became a chaplain in the army early in June, and J.
Ira Jones, a returned missionary and a member of our own conference, be-
came pastor at Sheridan. He had a good revival and managed the church
so well that they are unanimous for his return. F. W. Launer asked to be
relieved of the Mexico Charge, October ist; and W. O. Michel was secured
to take his place. R. W. Rogers was absent from Forest for a time while he
was a chaplain in the army, but returned in time to close a very successful
year's work on the charge.
Building and Improvements. — The church at Atlanta, which has been
in process of building for the past two years, was soon finished when
LeRoy Myers became the pastor. It was dedicated by Dr. Parr, as his last
public service, August 4, 1918. Over$9,ooowas raised on this occasion by these
heroic people. The trustees of the church have been "so faithful in collecting
these subscriptions that less than $5,000 indebtedness remains. They arc
putting Brother Myers' salary at $1,200 for next year. The new parsonage
at Gilead has been completed, and Brother Gilliland is finding it to be a very
delightful home. The value of this building is $2,200, and it is all paid for.
G. W. Martin has improved the Russiaville parsonage at a cost of
$T,ioo, all of which is paid. It is now fully modern and one of the best in the
district. Brother Martin's report to the conference is the best that ever
came from this charge.
J. F. Radclifife, of Market Street. Logansport, has projected a $5,000 im-
provement on the church building. The money is already subscribed for this
much-needed work. There has been improvements made on the Shiloh
church on the Kempton charge by C. L. Schwartz, amounting to $500; and
the same amount on the church at Forest, by R. W. Rogers. Plans for
many other buildings and improvements were stopped on account of condi-
tions brought about by the war.
Debts Paid. — The long-standing and burdensome debt at Elwood has bten
completely eliminated. This debt has stood in the way of the progress of
this church for twenty years, making it impossible to secure a proper salary
for the pastor, and blinding the eye, of the people to the larger usefulness of
the church. W. A. Griest is wholly responsible for this good work, plan-
ning the campaign, and carrying it into such a successful conclusion that
$4,400 was raised. They had added $200 to the salary at the beginning of the
year. When J. B. Sparling was appointed to Cicero one year ago, there still
482 North Indiana Conference [1919
reniaiiied a debt of $700 on their new church building. The debt has been
paid, the benevolences increased 466 per cent, and the salary has gone up
from $750 to $1,100; but the best of all he has roused the whole com-
munity to an interest in the church and taken many splendid people into
its membership.
A thoughtful woman of Main Street Church, Kokomo, in making disposi-
tion of her possessions before leaving this world, remembered her church with
a gift of $500, also one of our saintly conference widows of Kokomo added
$500 in cash. Under the inspiration of these generous gifts the pastor,
E. E. Trippeer. led the church in the raising of $2,500 to complete the debt
and make some needed repairs on the parsonage. This pastor held his own
revival meeting, in which 115 were converted. Those who have known this
church from its beginning say it is in the best condition it has ever been.
Ben. Kendall, of Tipton, has paid the debt made by the improvements of
last year, has added 156 to the church membership, and the last Quarterly
Conference raised the pastor's salary to $2,000. Sheridan has reduced their
debt of $4,000. and the church has also been blessed by a gracious revival,
under the leadership of J. Ira Jones, the pastor. Greentown has reduced
their debt by $3,000, and added $300 on next year's salary. By the generous
gift of $1,000, by C. J. Beall, and some other collections made, Amboy has
reduced their debt $1,500.
Purdue Student Pastor Parish House. — At the last session of the con-
ference the district superintendents were ordered to collect the amounts
apportioned to the districts for the Student Pastor Parish House, and for
the Asbury Monument in Washington, D. C. The amount given to Logans-
port district was apportioned to the charges, and every pastor responded with
the full amount given to his charge. Both these claims were met in full. I
had a note from Dr. Carroll, stating it was the largest amount given by any
in our Methodism so far.
Ministerial Support. — The pastors' salaries have increased this year
more than in anj' previous two years together. The salaries as they are now
set for next year will show the following very gratifying advances over those
reported to the conference one year ago: Alto $250, Amboy $100. Anoka
$100, Arcadia $150, Atlanta $300, Bunker Hill $100. Cicero $450, Converse
$200, Denver $200, Elwood $200, Forest $200. Galveston $200, Goldsmith
200, Greentown $300, Hillisburg $200, Hobbs and Aroma $200, Wheatland
Avenue $300, Macy $200, Mexico $100, Miami $150. Richland $100, Russsia-
ville $100, Santa Fe $100, Sharpsville $300. Sheridan $100, Tipton $300, Twelve
Mile $300. Walton $200, West Middleton $150, Windfall $200. With the
new charges made this year Peoria $1,000 Centenary, in Kokomo $1,000,
and Scircleville $700, the total cash salaries for the pastors alone for next
year will be $58,000, an advance of $8,650 or fifty-seven per cent.
Benevolent Collections. — The increasing number of charges that have
adopted the Duplex System of finance, and made an every-member canvass
for both ends of the envelopes, has made it evident from the beginning of
the year that we would have a good report for all our benevolent causes.
Every charge will be in the "up" column. Tipton has the largest increase,
it being $2,224 over any previous year. It remains to be determined whether
Ben. Kendall or W. B. Freeland leads the district in the amount of be-
nevolences paid. A splendid company of tithers has had much to do with
this splendid result. Cicero leads the district in the per cent of increase,
It being 466 per cent. Thirty-two charges pay all claims in full and enough
of these have gone so far above their apportionments that they have made
up for the delinquents, and the district apportionment will be in full. The
total increase for the district will be $8,100. The increase for the six years is
147 per cent, or from $13,956 to $34,500.
District Organization.— At the beginning of the year the district was
organized into nine groups for a campaign of education on the great be-
nevolent interests of the church, and to promote every cause that had to do
with the district as a unit of organization. Charles H. Smith was the dis-
trict missionary secretary, and one of the chairmen of the groups The other
chairmen were HA. B. Homer. W. B. Freeland, W. C. Asay, L. G. Jacobs,
U. S. Hartly, E. E. Trippeer. J. F. RadcHflFe, and H. R. Carson. A secretary
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 483
was also chosen for each of the groups. The campaign was conducted in
the fall and the meetings were well supported by both pastors and people.
The Centenary. — No movement of the church for many years has been
more opportune or more necessary than the Centenary movement. There
are two great needs of the hour. The world needs the gospel of Jesus Christ,
which this movement will help to give, and the church needs the vitalizing
influence of a great task. The absolute certainty of its success is becoming
more and more apparent. The work of the Centenary has been progressing
during the entire year. The first weeks of the conference j^ear were given
to the Stewardship Campaign. All the pastors preached on the subjects
assigned by the Centenarj' committee, and presented the pledge cards for
tithers. Over 800 signed the covenant, and names are being added con-
stantly. It is safe to say that the unusual advance in salaries and the splendid
increase in benevolent offerings of the Logansport district this year can
be traced to the influence of the tithing campaign. It has made a revolution
in church afifairs at Alto, where H. W. Park has kept the subject before the
people all the year. A few weeks before conference the official board met
at their own call and, after carefully discussing the matter, they all agreed
to sign the tithing covenant. Other members were secured to join them in
this, and as a result they find they pay a better salary, become a station;
and after paying all the running expenses of the church, have money left
to pay their share of the Centenarj' apportionment, each 3^ear. The only
difficulty in the way of making them a station is that both ends of the charge
want Brother Park for their pastor.
The Minute men have been at work all over the district, and the progress
they are making is a delightful surprise. The spirit with which they have
taken hold of their work, and the marked ability they have shown in pre-
senting the great causes of the church has been a revelation to all, and I
think to themselves. If a new era of lay preaching shall result from this
movement it will be a glad day for the Methodist church.
Will the Centenarj' succeed? Is it possible to raise the vast amount of
money required and to put the "go" into the church that is intended by this
great movement? Are not the leaders of our Methodism dreaming a strange
dream? Do these leaders not know that it has been necessary for us to
cast off our old slow conveyances, and replace them with the swift-moving
and costly vehicles of the day? Are they not aware that our IMethodist peo-
ple have had to buy vast amounts of Liberty Bonds on which they can
draw interest but twice a year? Do they not know thousands of our best
Methodist members have been caught by this Income Tax business? Is
it right to ask our splendid Methodist people, in the face of all these things,
to change from the old habit of giving one cent a week for the extension of
the Kingdom of God, to paying one and one-half cents a day to meet the
mightiest opportunity ever given to man to put Christ into the life of the
world? An opportunity to touch the chaos of the present institutions of men
and crystallize them around the teaching of the Great Master of life. There
are no good and sufficient reasons now why this question of success should
not be in our serious thought, first it must succeed. Help must come from
God through the means of his church. It must come now. It cannot wait
another year. Help must come in a large way because the task is larger
And the second is: we have put our hands to the plow and we cannot
turn back. It would blight the name of our great church; and I think Christ
would hide his face from us for a thousand years if we would fail him in
this hour.
Revivals and Membership. — The pastors made careful preparations for
early revival meetings, and many of them were in progress with good pros-
pects of success when the churches were closed by the health authorities.
When they were again opened for services, conditions had changed and
many difficulties were confronted. E. E. Trippeer, of Main Street Church.
Kokomo. reports the largest number of conversions occurring in any one
meeting in the district. Here 115 were converted and about the same number
joined the church. H. R. Carson held a very successful meeting at Hopewell,
in which twenty-seven were converted. At Alto thirty-nine were converted
and joined the church. At Atlanta, LeRoy Myers had forty-seven con
484 North Indiana Conference [1919
verted and a great revival of cluirch interest. Cicero had a very gracious
revival that made a deep impression on the community for good. Russiaville
experienced one of the best revivals of her history. The spiritual life of
the church was greatly helped and many were converted. John Parker had
a gracious revival at Miami, in which many prayed through to victory. J.
Ira Tones had thirtv-four conversions at Sheridan. The total number of
conversions reported is 6to, and the number of accessions amounted to
840. We will have a net increase in the membership of 320. This is not as
great as it should be, and I am in perfect accord with our Bishop in his
plan to make the next great drive of the church, a drive for the conversion
of men to be brought into membership.
The Sunday Schools. — Two years ago the alarm was sounded by the
Board of Sunday Schools that the enrollment and the attendance of our
Sunday schools was on the decline. This was no false alarm, for the dis-
agreeable facts were before us; but T am glad to say that a change for the
better has come in the Logansport district. We are gaining much of our
lost ground. The average attendance reported the last quarter of the year
is very encouraging. Peru Sunday School is the largest school on the
district. The large Men's Bible class is a very influential factor in this church,
and very faithfully supported C. H. Smith, the pastor of the church, in his
courageous effort to clean up the city. The splendid co-operation of the
Protestant ministers of Peru has made the ministry a terror to evil doers.
They are very earnest in their desire that their ranks be not broken by the
removal of the pastor of this church, and have so made their desires known
to the Bishop.
The Women's Work. — Too much cannot be said for the noble women
who make up the Ladies' Aid Society of the churches. Their work results
in the betterment of the church in so many ways. They are constantly
tiding churches over hard places and sending them on to victory. The Ladies'
Aid Societies of the district have raised $11,491 this year.
Better Business Methods. — The old uncertainty about the pastors re-
ceiving their salaries in full from the charges has almost completely dis-
appeared. The laymen are taking seriously this matter of ministerial sup-
port and, not only is the pastor sure of his money, but he receives it
promptly like other people do. The salaries for the Logansport district are
nearly all set for next year, with a fine advance over the previous year. The
every-member canvass has been made and the support for the new year is
assured. The new district superintendent will have a clear field and a
happy time.
A Closing Word. — I am profoundly thankful to the heavenly Father for
sparing my life to complete a second term as a district superintendent.
The period of this service has been in a most interesting time of our church
life. During this time the work of a district superintendent has undergone
a great change. The old methods will not answer for the new condi-
tions. One of the direct causes of this change has been the more efficient
supervision we are receiving from our Bishops since they have been as-
signed to residential areas. I go from this office with a profound sense
of Its importance to our beloved church and the Kingdom of God. I have
U-ied to render a faithful service to the conference and advance its every
interest. It has been a constant inspiration to do team work with the
noble men who have been so long associated with me in the cabinet. They
are men with whom it has been easy to compete, and yet men as un^
sejtish as It is possible for district superintendents to be. I greatly re-
joice in the high standing of the North Indiana Conference in the great
activities of the church, and I am glad to be able to say that the Logans-
port district has not been a barrier to this upward reach

James A. Beatty.
MUNCIE DISTRICT.
James A. Beatty, District Superintendent.
Bishop Nicholson and Brethren: The world has awakened and opened
her ej^es upon a new day. For more than four years we watched the inky
black war clouds which threatened the entire world. This conference year
will be ever memorable because on the nth
day of November, 1918, the awful struggle
ended. The new day has come like a bright
sun emerging from a long clouded atmos-
phere. Prophecies are fast being fulfilled.
"A nation is born in a day." The sandy
foundations of kingdoms and empires have
crumbled and crowned heads have sought
their hiding places. The voice of the
prophet is again stirring us to activity,
"Arise and shine; for thy light is come,
and the glory of the Lord is risen upon
thee. The Gentiles shall come to thy light,
and kings to the brightness of th)' rising.'"
Muncie district is heartily joining with
the church in putting on the great program
of this new day. The huge task challenges
our admiration. Pastors and people are
facing it as victors in the name of Him who
has promised to bring us ofif more than
conquerors through Him that hath loved
us and given himself for us.
The closing of the world's greatest war has brought the supreme vic-
tory of all time. The church is catching the spirit of this new and vic-
torious day and expects a like victory. The year has been full of activity
and full of serious difficulties. Sickness and death has saddened many of our
homes. The ranks have been depleted; but out of every sickness our God
is able to bring a better health. "We look unto the hills whence cometh
our help; our help cometh from the Lord."
Changes. — Out of thirty-three conference men and seven supplies, ap-
pointed by Bishop Nicholson at Warsaw, thirty remained where appointed,
and with others who have joined them are ready to make outstanding re-
ports. About the middle of July Sherman Powell was released from Hart-
ford City charge, at the request of Dr. Ralph S. Cushman, to take up work
with the Centenary. Lewis Reeves supplied them for three Sundays; then
Emory M. Dunbar was taken from Fortville and appointed to this import-
ant charge. His success here clearly justifies this appointment which will
be further evidenced in his report. W. H. Harrison was taken from York-
town, where he had raised the most embarrassing debt in the district, and
appointed to Fortville, where he is bringing things to pass in his usual
fine way. Rev. J. Walter Gibson, coming to us from the United Brethren
Church, was placed at Yorktown. He had one of the best revivals of the
year, and the church advances their salary $200 for next year. July 23d, P.
"H. Walter was granted a release from the DeSoto charge to go into an
office in Fort Wayne for the better support of his family. J. H. McNary
was immediately employed, has had a victorious time, and increased the
pastoral support $300. The middle of August, E. G. Giggy asked to be
released from the Alexandria Circuit to accept a more lucrative position
as principal of the public schools in INIacksville, Kansas. MontC. Oliver
was taken from Florida to complete the year on the Alexandria Circuit,
and has done it so well they promise a fine increase for next year. Homer
Wright has completed the year at Florida. P. E. Greenwalt was appointed
an army chaplain, the first of August, and was released from Lapel. The
authorities advanced him so rapidly that in two month's time he was on his
way overseas, and then quickly to the front where he engaged in some of
the most thrilling activities of the war. J. O. Bills was secured for this
important charge, which he has taken care of in a fine way. The season
^86 North Indiana Conference [1919
of the year being good for making changes, we made a direct change be-
tween A G Kiger, of Matthews, and L. H. Nixon, of Grace Church,
Anderson The reasons were good for this change as it accommodated both
the men and the charges. September ist, Barton R. Pogue was released
from the Whitely charge to continue his school work m Boston Theological
Seminary. W. O. Moulton was immediately appointed, and has done such
efficient work they promise him an increase of $ioo for next year. G. N.
Callaway was released from Avondale, Muncie, and transferred to the Idaho
Conference. E. B. Westhafer, conference evangelist, was immediately placed
in charge. He has had a splendid revival, organized and inspired the church,
so they promise an increase of $300 on pastoral support for next year.
Bishop Nicholson, I am a bit late in announcing this semi-annual conference
we held in Muncie district without inviting the other members of the cabinet
to participate.
Retired Preachers. — Twelve retired preachers are enrolled with us.
Nine live within the bounds of the district. Rev. J. A. Ruley lives in
Lansing, Michigan; Drs. W. F. Walker and Williams live in Indianapolis.
J. EL. McNary has been in charge at DeSoto for two-thirds of the year,
and has never done more efficient work. Rev. Richard H. Smith carne to
his crowning at his home in Alexandria in the early winter. The kindly,
gentle spirit of this good man took its flight while he was walking about the
house. He was a true prophet of God. For forty-six years he was a member
of this conference — loved, honored, and respected.
Special Appointments. — Our Quarterly Conferences are honored by
having five of our members in special service: Dr. Fred B. Fisher, executive
chairman of the India Mass Movement Commission of the Board of Foreign
Missions; Professor H. B. Gough, teacher in DePauw University; Rev. C.
J. Everson, field secretary of the Anti-Saloon League; Rev. Fremont E.
Fribley, Student Pastor Purdue University; Rev. E. B. Westhafer, confer-
ence evangelist, now pastor at Avondale, Muncie.
Improvements and Debts Paid. — There has been no building and very
little improving of churches and parsonage property this year. Prices were
too high and laborers too scarce. Noble Street, Anderson, E. J. Wickersham,
pastor, were obliged to install a new heating plant. They will also re-roof
and redecorate the church and fit up the basement to take care of their grow-
ing Sunday school and larger social interests. This will cause an outlay
of $2,500, which has been largely provided for.
Normal City is putting a fine basement and changing the heating plant
at a cost of $1,600. This is one of our growing churches, and now with
the State Normal well established, it is one of our important fields, and the
future outlook is promising. Preston Pohlemus is the popular pastor. Other
charges have made the following expenditures: Albany $200, Fishers $477,
Hartford City $350, Indiana Avenue, Anderson, $165, DeSoto $300, Jolietville
$400, Avondale, Muncie, $145, High Street, Muncie. $1,003, New Burlington
$300, First Church, Noblesville, $183, Noblesville Circuit $379, Perkinsville
$160. Several other churches spending smaller amounts making a total of
$7,967-
A T^^ r^i^*'"'^* *^'^ y^^^ ^^^ '^^^'^ relieved of its most embarrassing debts.
J u $4,600 at Yorktown, with the help of the Home Missionary Board
and the heroic work of William Henry Harrison, the pastor, has been en-
tirely wiped out. It has given this church a new lease on life. A debt of
$2,200 at Grace Church, Anderson, which has been embarrassing them for
more than ten years, and on account of it came near losing their church
has been provided for, and three-fourths of it already paid. We again recog-
nize the generous help of the Home Missions and Church Extension So-
ciety. Without their help the task would have been quite impossible. Lapel
has_ wiped the slate clean of $5,000, and relieved every claim of man
against this fine, new church. J. O. Bills is the efficient pastor. Beal's
Lhapel, on the Perkinsville charge, has taken care of $1,100 of several years'

Other debts paid were as follows: Albany $600, Indiana Avenue, Anderson,
$225, Carmel $100, Hartford City $350, Avondale, Muncie, $63, Madison
Street, Miincie. $200, Noblesville Circuit $100, Pendleton $120. Total debts
paid $15,558.
Church Organizations. — The church organizations remain the same,
but show a fine increased activity. With the closing of the war and sick-
ness abating the Sunday schools have largely increased in attendance, in-
terest and giving. The graded system is becoming more popular and a
higher state of efficiency is being reached.
Twenty-seven chapters of the Epworth League is reported with a mem-
bership of about 1,500. These organizations are not increasing in ac-
tivity these Centenary days as they should. The Junior Leagues are out-
doing the Seniors. They report five new organizations this j-ear.
The Women Societies are keeping step with the rapid movements
of the day. Manj^ of the Ladies' Aid Societies report the best work they
have ever accomplished. The Woman's Foreign Missionary Societies are
setting a merry pace for the other districts of the conference. Their
pledge last year was $4,000. They report from conference to conference
$7,000. This year they expect to more than double last year's pledge. They
have surely caught the spirit of the Centenary. The Woman's Home
Missionar}' Societj^ has not so many auxiliaries, but are extending their
work, and have made a fine advance over last year.
District Meetings. — An enthusiastic Pastors' and District Stewards'
Meeting, April 23d, in First Church, Alexandria. The program for the
year was outlined and unanimously adopted. The Epworth League Con-
vention also met in First Church, Alexandria, June i8th-20th, and had for
their speakers, Drs. E. H. Richards and J. W. Potter and evangelist T.
Edward Thomas. The Woman's Home Missionary Society met in Mid-
dletown and the Foreign Missionary Society met in High Street,
]\Iuncie. The Benevolence Campaign opened with a central meeting in
First Church, Anderson, where Doctor Mills, of the Home Missionary and
Church Extension Board, and the district superintendents of the conference
made inspiring addresses. The balance of the campaign was carried forward,
in a very fine waj-, by the pastors, emphasizing all the important features of
the Centenary program. We had a central meeting for each of the eight
groups, and Dr. J. W. Potter, who is a genius with maps and charts, and
is the District and Area Stewardship secretary, rendered invaluable service
in each of these group meetings. Rev. Preston Polhemus skillfully used
the lantern, giving us the stereopticon views, adding much to the interest of
the meetings. Settlement Day and the Sunday ScItdoI Institute was con-
ducted in High Street, Muncie. December 9th and loth. Nothwithstanding
the influenza was at its worst, and we had a continuous downpour of rain,
it was a success. Drs. W. S. Bovard and W. A. Brown made it seem worth
while to come. The school at First Church, Alexandria, captured the library
oflfered for the largest number of delegates.
These district meetings were properly climaxed in the district con-
ference, held in First Church, Anderson. We had a fine start on Tuesday
night with the coming of Dr. C. P. Hargrave, of Columbus, Ohio. He
gave us a fine stereopticon survey of the home field Tuesday night, and a
thrilling address Wednesday morning. Wednesday was the greatest day
ever witnessed in a district meeting. For several weeks the laymen had
been planning a Centenarj' rally. As usual they planned for large things.
Committees were appointed, boosters were sent out and a great program
was planned, with Bishop Thomas Nicholson, Dr. Fred B. Fisher, as the
speakers. When the men arrived on trains, automobiles and special inter-
urban cars, a street parade was formed of more than a thousand men,
stretching across twelve squares with four bands and many significant ban-
ners. The great auditorium and side galleries were reserved for the men
which they more than filled. Every available space in this great church was
filled. Masterful addresses were delivered by Bishop Nicholson and Dr.
Fisher. Following this great demonstration the interest the next day did
not lag. This great conference had a fitting close with a fine program b}^
the Woman's Foreign and Home Missionary Societies, with addresses by
Mrs. Professor O. M. Pittenger and Miss Mary Collins.
^88 North Indiana Conference [1919
Spiritual Awakening and Membership.— While working against the
worst scourge of sickness the country ever experienced, the district had
the best revivals for several years. The pastors held their own meetings.
Only two or three charges in the district secured help. Delaware County
put on a simultaneous Evangelistic Campaign, which resulted in a great
religious awakening. Our sister denominations received a like beneht with
us I most heartily recommend this kind of campaign, making the county
the unit which makes a line substitute for the former tabernacle meetings,
which have largclv gone into history. There were quite a number of out-
standing revivals which will be indicated by the number converted and re-
claimed in the following charges: High Street, Muncie, D. T. Stephenson,
pastor, 155; 139 by letter, making a total of 294; First Church, Anderson,
J. W. Potter, pastor, 39; and 69 by letter, total 100; Hartford City. E. M.
Dunbar, 90; Albany, f. H. Palmer, 70; Matthews, L. H. Nixon, 92; Muncie,
Avondale, E. B. Westhafer, 67; Madison Street, J. S. Newcombe, 44; Normal
City. Preston Polhemus, 42; Jolietville, Edward Antle, 48; Yorktown, J.
Walter Gibson, 43: DeSoto, J. H. McNary, 30; Eaton, C. B. Dougherty, 30;
Dalcville, H. E. Forbes, 30; New Burlington, B. E. Jones, 30; Alexandria,
E. C. Dunn, 24; Perkinsville, J. L. Williams, 20; Selma, V. B. Hargitt, 20;
Summitville Circuit, Ross Hutsinpiller, 18; Whiteley, W. O. Moulton, 17;
Anderson, Indiana Avenue, Herbert Perry, 37; Noble Street, E. J. Wicker-
sham, 16; Park Place, P. B. Smith, 13; Summitville, C. G. Yeomans, 13;
Gaston, E. E. DeWitt, 12; Albany, O. B. Young, 11. Total number of con-
versions and reclamations. 1,006. Total number received into the church,
1,178.
Finance and Benevolences. — Our churches have worked against many
hindrances this year. The heavy pull for the various war drives has not de-
pleted us, but only strengthened us for the greater tasks. The church had
fallen upon evil times of exhaustion and luxury. The call to the larger
tasks and sacrificial giving has become our salvation.
Twenty-four churches have increased their ministerial support $4,500
this year. Although our churches have all been closed, and some
of them for several weeks' duration, salaries have never been paid
more promptly and with better spirit. The following charges have made ad-
vances ranging from $50 to $500; Noble Street and Park Place, Anderson;
Carmel, Daleville and Mt. Zion, DeSoto, Fishers, Gaston, Jolietville. Lapel,
I\liddletown; Avondale, High Street, Normal City, Muncie; New Burling-
ton, Perkinsville, Roll, Selma, Shideler, Summitville, Summitville Circuit,
Westfield and Yorktown.
Twenty-five charges have already promised an advance for next year
totaling $5,000. They are as follows: Alexandria, Alexandria Circuit,
Anderson, First Church, Grace Church, Indiana Avenue, Noble Street,
Park Place, Daleville and Mt. Zion, Fortville, Fishers, Hartford City, Joliet-
ville, Matthews, Muncie, Avondale, Madison Street, Normal City, Whiteley,
Noblesville Circuit, Perkinsville, Selma, Summitville, Summitville Circuit,
Yorktown.
As to the benevolences, Muncie district is marching on in the "good
new way." Last year we set a pace for the entire conference. We are
still going forward with a steady tread and a good advance over last year.
Every charge is ready to report its full apportionment as a minimum, both
disciplinary and conference. Quite a number of charges have a good sur-
plus above the apportionments. We are not here to boast. We are thanking
our divme Father it is our privilege to live in a day like this when men are
taking the long look, and by faith will step over and possess the land. I
wish you could have witnessed the fine spirit of delight with which these
splendid pastors and lay people manifested while putting Muncie district in
the sun, and 111 the front rank of all Methodism.
Bishop Nicholson, I count it a privilege to be a toiler with the fine
pastors and people of this great district. By reason of recent programs
put on, two of our churches have become leaders in the conference, the
state and the church. High Street, Muncie, under the leadership of Dr.
m;„;;t, ^P ."1!°"' ^^' collected and paid out $23,500. and taken into the

record. This is the first church in the district which has gone "over the
top" in the intensive drive in the Centenary. I could name more than a score
of other churches which have proportionately advanced with these.
We have every charge organized for the Centenary program. The
bigness of it challenges our admiration. It ought to get the church to her
knees. The financial objective, big as it is, is not the supreme thing about
it. The $105,000,000 is necessary, but it is incidental. Three other things
are fundamental, viz.: The Life of Intercessory Prayer; The Life of Christian
Stewardship; The Life of Christian Service.
We have about one half of our quota of tithers. The campaign will not
be over until we get the full number expected of us. Four churches have
their full quota or more: Park Place, xA.nderson, P. B. Smith, pastor;
Whitelej^ Muncie, W. O. Moulton, pastor; Matthews, L. H. Nixon, pastor;
Fortville, W. H. Harrison, pastor.
Finally. — If we are to achieve complete success in the greatest under-
taking of the church, it cannot be done alone with programs and ideals and
philosophies. We must have an adequate Power House, a living Personality
who will pour floods of his own vitality into our impoverished souls. We
must draw our spiritual force out of a living fellowship with the living
Christ. Statics must yield her place to dynamics. From her knees the church
must lift up her hands and grasp the hand Divine. We must emphasize
Intercession, Stewardship, Life Service above that of the financial objective,
then will the church come to her largest sacrificial giving. The church,
vitalized with cominunion with God, will be a church clothed with power.
"Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small.
Love so amazing, so divine.
Demands my life, my soul, my all."
RICHMOND DISTRICT.
Somerville Light, District Superintendent.
Bishop Nicholson and Brethren; In spite of continued disturbances at-
tendant upon war conditions during the first half of the conference year,
and later the ravages of the influenza epidemic, resulting not only in great loss
of life, but also in ban after ban upon church
services, it may be truthfully said that we
have come through all to the close of one
of the best years in the history of the
Richmond district. Forty of the forty-one
men appointed to the charges of this dis-
trict remained in place throughout the
year, and by unusual faithfulness and de-
votion to their life work, have made this
report possible. October first, J. C. Erwin
surrendered Third Church, Richmond, to
take a position with Grace Church, New
York. L. P. Pfeifer was taken from Sara-
toga to fill this vacancy, a«d Clyde S. Mil-
ler, who had been in Y. M. C. A. war
work was secured for Saratoga. Both
men have done excellent work and are
here with good reports. With but two ex-
ceptions, no serious illness has visited the
parsonage homes. The families of Broth-
ers R. C. Ballard, of Economy, and W. O.
Power, of Losantville, were seriously ill
about the holiday season with influenza and pneumonia. These efticient
pastors were confined to their rooms for several weeks, but apparently
made good recoveries and closed a good year's work. Others were ill for
a few days, but were soon up and at it again. The hearts of E. A. Bunner
and wife, of Charlottesville, were made glad on July 14, 1918, by the advent
of Virginia Ruth. At the Third Quarter!}' Conference session in December,
Somerville Light.
^po North Indiana Conference [1919
the district superintendent had the pleasure of baptizing this little miss
August 'd at 7 A. M., Genevieve Louise Henderson came to gladden ihe
inmates "of the Fountain City parsonage. .
Retired Ministers.— Four supernumerary and four retired ministers are
enrolled with us. Dr. G. H. Hill went to his crowning, Sunday May 26th,
from the city of Richmond. He and his wife had come to the city the
eveniuir before to attend the dedicatory services for the new Grace Metho-
dist Church Soon after his arrival in the city Brother Hill was stricken
and in a few hours was in the church triumphant. He was a good, great
man and gave the church of his choice a rich ministry Dr. Frank G
Browne is spending the days of his retirement in the fellowship of good
books and is happy in literary research. Brother Sylvester Billheimer re-
sides on his farm near Hagerstown. R. T. Laslie is in Kentucky, sad and
broken-hearted, because of the loss of his faithful wife. The hand of af-
fliction rested heavily upon the entire family, but the children were spared.
M R Pierce is in Greenfield; his health is greatly broken. The year has
been one of sufifering. Brother J. O. Bills has been in charge and has done
good work for Lapel. Brother Harlan resides in Union City where he
sustains a brotherly relation to the pastor and people. E. C. Hallman is in
Delaware, and R. L Black is in a charge in the Indiana Conference.
Special Appointments.— R. S. Shaw has been in army Y. M. C. A. serv-
ice. The Greenfield Quarterly Conference is honored by being represented
on the faculty of DePauw University by Professor W. W. Sweet.
District Meetings. — The Pastors' and District Stewards' meeting held
in First Church, Richmond, May 7th, was largely attended by both pastors
and laymen (125 were present). The Woman's Home Missionary Society
convention was held in New Castle, June 6th and 7th. The reports showed
a good advance over former years. The Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society convention could not be held because of the "flu." The Epwortli
League convention, held in Grace Church, Richmond, was representative
of this excellent body of young poeple — thirty-eight of the forty-one pas-
tors of the district led their young people, in loyal support of all plans for
the endorsement and advancement of the work. Dr. Lowry, our medical
missionary in China, with his wife, attended and addressed the convention.
$1,300 was subscribed for his support.
The district superintendent with the district missionary secretary,
H. L. Overdeer, attended the District Superintendent's convention, held in
Columbus, Ohio, June I7th-2ith. Brother A. H. Backus, district steward-
ship secretary, spent the month of July in the New York offices.
The District Centenary Training Conference. — In September we united
with the other five districts in a series of training conferences, all of which
were well attended and productive of great good. The district superintend-
_ ents with Centenary speakers from the central offices, gave the addresses.
The Richmond district meeting was held in Winchester, September 23d and
24th. Drs. Frey of Honolulu and Frieze of India, Dr. Fred B. Fisher of our
own conference, and Superintendents Martin, Wade, Hollopeter, Beatty,
and Marble gave inspiring addresses, which were highly appreciated. Forty-
one of the forty-one pastors answered roll call. Four hundred and thirty-
nine people were in the auditorium at one time — 1,120 persons attended the
services of the day. This meeting was immediately followed by the Cen-
tenary Church-in-Action Campaign, which carried the Centenary message
and program to every church in the district.
Settlement Day and Sunday School Institute. — Nothwithstanding the fact
that the influenza prevented the usual attendance, this combination meeting
was full of interest and productive of great good. Doctors W. S. Bovard
and A. A. Browne with Mrs. Mary Moorehouse, gave great messages full
of instruction and inspiration.
Sunday Schools and the Centenary.— March nth and 12th Dr. W. J.
Davidson, Area Sunday-school director, visited the six divisions of the
district in the interest of organization for the Centenary campaign. A
good program was put on at Richmond, Greenfield, Newcastle, Dunkirk, and
Winchester. Every pastor responded to the call. Practically the entire
district organization joined these pastors in this heartening response. A
most representative body of laymen attended each meeting. Mr. Horace
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 491
L. Burr, of Newcastle, the district Sunday-school director, with the sub-
district directors, did energetic follow-up work and soon had the whole
district organized.
District Conference. — The Centenary District Conference was held in
our historic church located in Centerville. Pastor O'Connor and wife, with
their loyal hospitable people, provided first-class entertainment for their
guests, and thereby made all feel at home. The entire program stressed the
Centenary. Dr. W. H. Neil gave the opening address Tuesday night,
March nth. Dr. C. R. Hargrave gave a rapid-fire message on Wednesday
night, and Bishop Nicholson closed the conference with a great message on
Thursday night. The other speakers from without the district were Dr.
John \V. Potter, stewardship secretary of the Chicago area, whose master-
ful address on Proportionate Giving was highly appreciated, and Airs. Susie
Aiken Winold, field secretary of the Woman's Home Missionary Society,
our own Mrs. Florence C. Binford, conference secretary of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society, ably represented this great Woman's Society.
Resolutions. — Besides the usual complimentary words, resolutions
against the Sunday movies, and all efforts to ward off and evade inevitable,
national prohibition were unanimously passed. The whole Centenary pro-
gram, including quotas was heartily accepted. Every charge is organized
and manj^ are now awaiting marching orders, "over the top." Five young
men were granted license to preach and two were recommended for ad-
mission to the conference.
Dedication of Churches. — The new $55,000 church was fully completed
and dedicated. Its name is Grace; its location is Richmond, Indiana. Sun-
day, May 26th, was a bright, beautiful Sabbath. Pastor and people after the
long strain were hilariously happy. Bishop Nicholson, who had been called
to preach the sermon and conduct the dedicatory services, not only preached
a glorious gospel, but also gave forth the words of a great Christian states-
man. It is interesting to note that this church was formally dedicated with-
out the usual dedicatory-service appeal for money — every dollar having been
subscribed in advance of dedication day. Though the subscription was taken
on the five-year basis, more than a third has been paid this year. The amount
contributed per capita by this congregation this year is ^^7. Brother Overdeer
has had two very successful years with this growing church located in a
difficult field.
Greenboro, on the Kenard charge, C. E. Smith, pastor, with a member-
ship of forty-two, undertook a new church enterprise and carried it through
with good courage and good success. On November 24th. Dr. W. S. Bovard
took charge of the finances and dedicated this beautiful countryside church;
erected with the community center idea in mind.
Buildings and Improvements. — Chester, L. F. Ulmer, purchased a par
sonage for $1,600 and expended $414 on improvements — $2,104. Maxwell,
O. P. Van Y, completed and dedicated a new $3,000 parsonage. Willow
Branch, B. H. Franklin, dedicated a new $3,500 parsonage and beautified the
Eden Church at an expense of $601. Dunkirk, A. H. Backus, improved the
parsonage at a cost of $700. Economy. R. C. Ballard, $340 on the church;
Greenfield, O. A. Trabue, $250 on the church; Losantville, W. O. Power,
$310 on the churches; Lynn, M. B. Graham, $469 on church and parsonage;
McCordsville, Fred Chelan, $165 on church and parsonage; Millgrove, Joseph
Grimes, $147 on the churches; Pennville, A. F. Hogan, $900 on church fur-
nishings; Philadelphia, E. L. Gates, $132 on the parsonage; Portland Circuit.
E. E. Franklin, $521 on the churches; Redkey, D. V. Williams, $400 on church
furnishings; Ridgeville, D. C. Beatty, $547 on Ridgeville church; Shirley,
G. E. Hughes, $448 on church and parsonage; Spiceland, C. W. Anderson.
$139 on church and parsonage; Union City, A. Cates, $460 on church and
parsonage; Winchester, H. S. Nickerson, $175 on church.
Only one charge in the district is without a parsonage, but several need
extensive repair, while in a few instances nothing but new houses will suf-
fice. Portland, Winchester, Dublin, and Union City expect to act in the
near future.
Debts Paid. — Cambridge City $1,200, Lynn $2,700, Modoc $140, Portland
Circuit $428, Redkey $1,000, Richmond, First Church, $325, Richmond, Grace
Church, $20,000, Richmond, Third Church, $55, Lewisville $350, Pennville

North Indiana Conference [1919
$^432 Total $29,630. The indebtedness at the present time, not covered
wi'lh what is considered good subscriptions, totals $13,626. _
Church Literature.— The "Western Christian Advocate shows a sub-
stantial gain over last year (170). Sunday-school periodicals are increasing
in favor from year to year. I note with no small degree of concern
a decrease in subscribers for the "Epworth Herald." This certainly should
receive the careful attention of pastors and Epworth League officers.
The Departmental Work of the Churches.— In spite of the war conditions
the earlier part of the vear and the health situation, the latter months, the
Sunday schools appear to be coming back to normal levels. All are organized
into missionary societies and contribute regularly to missions. The con-
tributions this year total $2,874, ^ good gain over last year. Portland again
leads with $200. Grace Church, Richmond, is second with $160. Richmond,
First, $142, Union City $138, New Castle $136, Dunkirk $104, Redkey $103,
Greenfield $100; ALarkleville leads the circuits with $129, Modoc next with
$110, Winchester circuit $100, Parker, close up with $96. The other schools
range from $88 down to $5. We have thirty-nine senior Epworth League
chapters with a membership of about 2,000. The Junior League chapters,
numbering about fifteen, are doing good work where properly organized.
The Ladies' Aid Societies have raised $11,780, a good advance over last year,
and are doing excellent work for the kingdom. The Woman's Home and For-
eign Missionary Societies have more than met their pledges, gone way beyond
goals fixed, organized many new auxiliaries and report a total of $7,630
raised, against $1,942 over last year.
Evangelism and Membership. — The influenza contended every inch of
the ground during the entire season, usually depended upon by the pastors
for protracted evangelism. However, better results have been achieved than
those reported last year.
We report 1,031 conversions; received into preparatory membership
662; received by certificate 469. While the net gain in membership is not
large, we report an advance over last year. The most extensive revivals
are as follows: Newcastle, where the pastor, W. W. Wiant, was his own
evangelist — 250 were converted, 2^,7 united with the church. The pastor
and official board of the Redkey Church assisted by a good sane evangelist,
led in a good campaign which resulted in about 100 conversions and re-
clamations. A fine body of young people united with the church, and
thereby made possible the organization of a splendid Epworth League
chapter. One of the most remarkable and far-reaching revivals of my four
years on this district occurred at Knightstown, under the leadership of the
pastor, W. E. Hogan. The entire city and surrounding communities seemed
to be completely stirred. Ninety-three were converted and seventy received
into the church. Other pastors whose opportunties were not quite so large,
toiled hard and scored good successes. Modoc, C. A. Mitchell, pastor, reports
sixty conversions with seventy-five accessions. This charge has been com-
pletely rnade over, and is destined to be one of the most desirable circuits in
the district. Lewisvills, J. S. Phillips his own evangelist, reports fifty-six con-
versions. Spiceland, C. W. Anderson, pastor, forty-eight conversions. This
has been the best year of Brother Anderson's ministry thus far. Portland
circuit, E. E. Franklin, pastor, reports fifty conversions. These meetings
conducted by this wide-awake young man saved one of his churches from lock
and key, and led a whole countryside to a new life. Charlottesville, E. A.
Bunner pastor, thirty conversions. As usual this brother has done a year's
work which will tell for eternity. Markleville, E. H. Taylor, pastor, thirty
conversions. Brother W. E. Hogan assisted the pastor in this most difficult
tield. Chester, L. F. Ulmer, pastor, twenty-three conversions. Brother Ul-
mer has had a good year in this new charge. Losantville, W. O Power,
pastor, twenty-five conversions. In three years Brother Power has made
this a good, substantial circuit. Williamsburg, R. M. Morris, pastor,
twenty conversions at Webster. This revival saved that country church, and
has put It in line with Methodism's program. The other pastors who have
toned taithtuljy, report conversions ranging from twentv-two to three. In
this connection permit me to say that in some communities because of un-
reasonable hea th authorities, revival campaigns were impossible. For in-
stance, the Ridgcville Methodist Church was closed and kept closed for
sixteen or seventeen weeks. Brother Beatty tried again and again but could
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 493
do nothing but yield to the local handicap. Notwithstanding these handicaps,
this plucky 3'oung preacher stood his ground; tramped from house to house,
from store to store, and from shop to shop for benevolences, and now re-
ports $116 above the apportionment and a sixty-five per cent gain over last
year. No Sunday preacher only. An everj'-day preacher teaching his
churches to be every-day churches.
Salaries. — At the opening of the conference j'ear, six charges which had
not attended to this important matter, advanced their salaries, viz.: Chester
$100, Dublin $200, Farmland $roo, Knightstown $300, Lewisville $100, and
Saratoga $250. These with the advances for this year reported at the
conference session in Warsaw, gave us the coveted record, viz.: Every
charge in the district advancing salary during the four years. The first
year fifteen charges advanced; the second, nineteen charges; the third,
twenty charges; the fourth, twenty-eight charges. The total advance for the
four years $18,505. The following charges have advanced for next conference
year: Cambridge Citj- $200, $1,200 salary; Charlotteville $100, $r,ioo; Chester
$200, $1,200; Dublin $200. $1,000; Dunkirk $200, $1,700; Hagerstown $300,
$1,300; Knightstown $300. $1,800; Kenard $200, $1,200; Lewisville $100, $1,200;
I.osantville $125, $r,ooo; Lynn $100, $1,300; Alodoc $200, $1,200; Philadelphia
$300, $1,000; Redkey $300. $1,500; Ridgeville $100, $1,200: Winchester Circuit
$200, $1,200; Spiceland $200, $1,200; Willow Branch $200, $1,400; Salamonia
$250, $1,000; Economy $200, $1,400; Pennville 200, $1,400; Fountain City $100,
$1,100. Twopoint charge: Centerville $200, $1,200: Union City $200, $2,000;
Greenfield $350, $2,000; Grace Church, Richmond, $100, $2,100: First Church,
Richmond $100, $2,300; Newcastle $500, $2,500; total advance $5,525. The
new work — Farmland station and circuit brings this up to $6,425. The aver-
age salary of the eflfective conference men in this district four years, $18,480;
this year is $1,383. The average for the forty-one men is $1,237. Next
year will not only show a good advance beyond these averages, but also
bring the district, barring one charge, to the $1,000 minimum salarj-.
Benevolences. — Brethren, even Richmond district has at last attained.
Every charge pays the disciplinary benevolences in full and running over.
Ever}' charge save one totals more than the apportionment. Newcastle leads
the wa}^ this 3'ear. Richmond, First Church, second; Greenfield, third; and
Portland, fourth; Grace Church, fifth. This church also ties Lynn in the
largest per capita, giving $37; Union Cit3^ sixth; Winchester, seventh; Dun-
kirk, eighth; Knightstown, ninth; and Redkey, tenth. This charge scores
the largest gain over last year. For the disciplinary benevolences we gave
last year $21,169, this year $31,032, a gain of $9,863. For the four years
the showing is as follows: 1914 — eight boards — $7,741.- This year $19,165 —
gain $11,324. Disciplinary benevolences, 1914— $11,548; this year $31,032 —
gain for the period $19,484.
The Centenary and Richmond District. — This district has the distinction
of being the first in the Chicago area to report every charge organized for
training preparatorj- to the campaign. Dunkirk, within this district, led the
conference in priority of reaching the twenty per cent standard in steward-
ship pledges. We have 1,185 tithing cards signed, 2,531 allotment in full
intercessor cards, and fifty have signed for life service — five above allotment.
A little more push in behalf of Christian stewardship and we will stand 100
per cent on quota.
In Conclusion. — Dear Bishop Nicholson, I am proud of the fact that the
good, brave men of this district are not looking backward. Theirs is the
forward move. Send them where you will in the name of and for the
Christ, and they will not fail Him or j'ou. And the song with which they
will go forward is the song of these Centenary days:
"Lead on, O King Eternal,
The day of March has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest,
Th}' tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation —
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King Eternal,
We lift our battle song."

North Indiana Conference [1919
WABASH DISTRICT.
Mitchell S. Marble, District Superintendent.
Bishop Nicholson and Brethren: The superintendent of the Wabash
district presents the following report for the conference year 1918-19:
Necrology.— Death has relentlessly entered three of our parsonages,
leaving a long train of sorrow and anguish.
Mrs. Grace L. Burkett, wife of Rev.
A. D. Burkett, pastor at Sweetser, was
attacked with typhoid fever. The attack
and progress of the disease was not violent
and there was little occasion for alarm till
Sunday, September 15, 1918, when she grew
much worse and on the day following she
slipped from the embrace of earthly com-
panionships to the society of the heavenly
host in the beautiful beyond. She left a
husband and two sons, Merrill, aged four-
teen years, and Luther, ten years old.
Again on February 27, 1919, our hearts
were pained by the sudden departure from
earthly scenes of toil and sacrifice of onr
brother in the ministry — the Rev. F. P.
Johnson, highly honored pastor of the
Churubusco circuit. The sadness of his
funeral was intensified by the fact that his
M. S. Marble. wife was near the gates of death from the
same pitiless disease, influenza. She, the
daughter, and the communities he served, are greatly afBicted by the loss of
husband, father and scholarly, Christian gentleman.
Influenza entered the home of the Rev. and Mrs. J. J. Fischer, in North
Manchester, and claimed a shining mark for its victim in the person of their
only son, Kemper Fischer, a little past seventeen years of age at the time
of his departure, which occurred on December 21, 1918. It is hard to pass
on with the bare mention of these sad facts which make such a draught
upon our sympathetic regard for these sorely-stricken homes. While in-
fluenza and other diseases have invaded several other homes of our preachers,
causing great anxiety, and awakening our prayerful sympathy, these are the
only deaths it is our mournful duty to record.
No deaths have been reported among those who went from parsonages
to army service.
District Program.~On May 21, 1918, an enthusiastic meeting of the
pastors was held in Wabash with four absent. One of these was in the
southland; one was sick; one was detained by a funeral, and one had special
work in a new church enterprise. The program adopted by this meeting
has been kept in spirit. In letter it has been freqeuntly interrupted and re-
arranged to meet unexpected conditions arising from orders from public
health officers and unavoidable contingencies. While this has occasioned
much anxiety it has been a fine school in the trial of patience.
War Emergency.— The appeal for war emergency funds made by "Bishop
Henderson was responded to by every charge meeting its quota. This was
done under the skillful management of Dr. L. A. Swisher, supported by
Ur. J L. White and Dr. T. M. Guild, other members of the committee,
rreachers and laymen have occupied conspicuous places in the great war
drives and have proven dependable in the realization of national ideals,
courageous when national tranquility was in peril, magnanimous and some-
what hilarious m the hour of victory.
1 ^P}fy Foundation.— We exhibit our faith in and devotion to the princi-
ples ot the Wes ey Foundation by paying our apportionment in full. I
have attended all the meetings of the Board of Directors and of the
execute e committee, and have taken active part in promoting larger plans
for this organization which will be placed before you at this session.
1919] Reports of District Superintendents 495
Christian Education. — Reports of the committee on Education in quar-
terly conference contained the names of a number of Methodist youth in
DePauw University. There were frequent discussions relating to prospective
students. Greater emphasis should be placed upon the duties of this standing
committee and the scope of its work.
The "Western Christian Advocate" is a persistent force in the intel-
lectual as well as the spiritual life of Methodist folk, and we are pleased
to note that the Wabash district is a leader among districts of the confer-
ence in the number of subscribers.
Epworth League. — A fine district convention of Epworth League was
held in Marion, First Church, in June. Chapters are flourishing in various
parts of the district, influencing the religious life of the local church and
leading the way in philanthropic and benevolent work. The Rev. M. E.
Barrett is district president, and Mrs. J. P. Chamness is district superintend-
ent of Junior League.
Our Methodist Women. — We have no modern Euodius and Syntyche
whose conduct justifies an exhortation from some modern apostle in the
gospel "that they be of the same mind." With resolute purpose, singleness
of aim and motive big enough to sustain them our women are found in the
front line promoting every moral, philanthropic and religious enterprise
championed by the noble women of the North Indiana Conference. In
many places they are the acknowledged leaders, and they more than justify
this recognition. The quarterly conference reports from the Ladies' Aid
Societies show that this organization has raised this year $6,683.90. Under
the merciless fire of pitiless criticism the Ladies' Aid Society has gone for-
ward in the fearless performance of duty until they find themselves en-
trenched securely in the confidence and affectionate regard of the people
whom they delight to serve. The criticism of the Ladies' Aid today is
only an occasional random shot from a retreating foe.
Our woman's missionary organizations, both home and foreign, have
another good year to their credit in disseminating missionary education,
awakening missionary enthusiasm and in administering the offerings of the
people which always follow educational and inspirational endeavor. Our
Woman's Foreign Missionary Society has made tremendous gains. They are
not marching in the rear rank, but at present are keeping step with the Fort
Wayne district, the difference in the amount raised being less than twenty-
five cents in favor of the latter.
Notwithstanding the great gains made throughout the conference our
Woman's Home Missionary Society women rejoice in the fact that although
they stand second in number of members, second in amount of money paid,
and second in the number of new members secured, they do take first place
in general advance and first place in per capita giving. In no department
did they take a backward step during the year.
Building and Improvements. — At Sweetser a greatly-needed church im-
provement was made. A new location was secured, the old building used in
the construction of the new one which is modern in every particular, fin-
ished with stucco, supplied with the very best furniture — all at the marvel-
ously low cost of $12,000. It has been said that the plant could not now be
constructed new throughout for less than $20,000. The corner stone of this
building was laid on September i8th, l*y the Rev. J. C. White, D.D., the cere-
monies being made a part of the funeral services of the pastor's wife, just
before starting to Salem Church — the church of her childhood, the place of
her conversion, her marriage and entrance upon the winding pathway of
the Methodist itineracy, the place of the final funeral services conducted by
the district superintendent, the place ever sacred in the memory of husband
and children. Sweetser Church was dedicated on March 23, 1919, by the
Rev. A. E. Smith, D.D., president of the Ohio Northern University. Money
was never more easily raised. All was to be spot cash or paid -by the first
of next September. $2,500 was asked for. The people responded with
$3,100. Every dollar was personal subscription with the exception of a small
amount subscribed by the Ladies' Aid Society. On the next morning the
trustees had enough cash to pay all obligations against the building with
the exception of $100. They now have a church in which the whole com-
496

industry and resolute purpose of the pastor, the Re^ A. D. Burkett iivery

year, and $9,755 more than was reported in 1913. The average cash re-
ceipts of the pastors is $243 more than it was virhen the present term began.
If plans for next year are consummated there will be another increase
amounting to $2,320, an average of $58 for each pastor. Other items of
ministerial support have had corresponding increase.
In some places people have been generous with donations. South Whit-
ley is a conspicuous example. That congregation rightly surmised that their
pastor's wife would greatly enjoy being with her parents in far-away Oregon,
at the time of their golden wedding anniversary, called at the parsonage
and left with her a purse amounting to $101 to help pay the expense of the
trip.
The great-hearted people in Churubusco, even while their own friends
were falling prostrate under the heavy hand of the epidemic, moistened
their gifts with their tears of sympathy and paid the funeral expenses of our
dear Brother F. P. Johnson, nurse hired for himself and wife, the beloved
physician. Dr. J. H. Briggs, presenting the committee a check in full against
his charges for professional services cheerfully rendered both Brother and
Sister Johnson. Brother Wehrly, station pastor, almost prostrate himself,
kept steadily at the task and conducted as many as six "flu" funerals in
one week.
The Centenary. — With enthusiastic co-operation among pastors and peo-
ple the Centenary organization has been perfected, the machinery is in mo-
tion and we confidently expect a product equal to if not in excess of the
official quota. Already, Upland, M. E. Barrett, pastor, has subscribed its
(juota. D. J. Imler, pastor at Home Park, conducted a successful Steward-
ship campaign, securing his quota of Christian stewards, and when he com-
pared the weekly offerings of the people with the Centenary apportionment,
found that his congregation was substantially on the Centenary basis.
Church Records. — Pastors have been careful, conscientious, and accu-
rate in keeping the record of membership. Very few reports from com-
mittees on church records were made. This is unfortunate. The pastors
need this report for their protection.
Only a profound sense of duty causes me to refer to our quarterly con-
ference records. The book provided for that purpose is fine theoretically,
but practically it is of little value in many of our charges. The recording
steward with business training keeps the records fairly well. Otherwise in
many cases it is poorly kept, and in some places there is no record at all.
1 he district superintendent found it impractical to dismiss the quarterly
conference and organize a business college with the recording steward as
pupil. However in some cases the recording steward wanted to know how
became an apt learner, obtained speedy mastery of the book, much to his
own satisfaction, the joy of the superintendent and the credit of the con-
gregation.

Miscellaneous. — A fine lycemn was held at Akron on September 4th
and 5th with I. R. Godwin, host. The superintendent did team work in the
interest of Methodism's larger program, delivering addresses as follows:
September loth at Kokomo; September nth at Anderson; September 17th
at Kendallville; September i8th, forenoon, at Fort Wayne; September 24th
at Winchester.
The district is organized into sight groups for intensive work with a
chairman for each group. These men have been active and in co-operation
with pastors and laymen in their respective groups have rendered valuable
service. Our Methodist Minute men are rendering valuable service.
The Centenary program for the district conference at ^Marion on March
5th and 6th attracted large numbers of ministers and laymen. Two young
men were licensed to preach and two were recommended for admission on
trial. The addresses of Bishop Warne and Bishop Nicholson were timely,
illuminating, and inspiring. The next district conference will occur at
Wabash Street Church, Wabash.
The work and worth of the fine body of preachers in the W^abash dis-
trict was never more satisfactory or more worthy of commendation. A
fine spirit of fellowship and brotherly love prevails. Dr. L. A. Swisher is
with the Army of Occupation, engaged in Y. M. C. A. war work. The king-
dom of Jesus will be advanced in the work he thus renders. The congre-
gation at Huntington desires his reappointment as pastor.
Meritorious work and upstanding character of pastors and preachers in
special appointment by your order, also of men in the retired relation,
constitvite an imperative call for special mention, but time and space order
that we be content with a prayer that God's benediction may blessedly
abide with them and their precious families for ever and for ever.

AGGRESSIVE EVANGELISM.
We your committee on aggressive evangelism in earnest solicitation and
with prayer beg to submit the following report :
Confronted with a world, torn and bleeding as a result of the most tragic
war of history, disrupted by the mad cry for social and economical readjust-
ment, we are looking for comfort and a true basis for readjustment. We are
convinced by investigation and experience that comfort can not be found and
readjustment made satisfactorily by an uneducated democracy or an educated
aristocracy, but through the dynamics of the Christian message applied to the
individual heart and the relations of men.
In the light of these facts and holding to the fundamental truth that "the
gospel is the power of God unto salvation," for the individual and the body
politic, we believe evangelism to be the supreme task of the church. An evan-
gehsm that puts Christ at the center of all life and every-day activity, that
believes in an education, controlled and inspired by the Spirit of the Master,
making it the servant of men. An evangelism that brings Christ so near and
makes the Cross so real that men accept him as their personal Savior and
enthrone him in their hearts. That teaches his Kingship so that men recognize
him as the ruler of all relationships and the triumph of his Kingdom the
one and only safe basis for world democracy. An evangelism filled with the
compassion of Christ for the sinner and carrying his uncompromising attitude
toward sin. An evangelism tied to no one method but using all that are in
harmony w^ith the teaching and Spirit of Christ; that insists on real repent-
ance and a definite experience which gives assurance of salvation and a reality
to our hope.
We are rejoice that the keynote of the Centenary is evangelism. We are
called to pray, to pay, and to personal service that the world may be saved.
We are pleased w-ith the program of the Sunday school in its educational
evangelism, and urge our schools to follow it and stress Decision Day. We
are delightd'd with the high tone and evangelistic emphasis of our church papers.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY.
One of the great needs of the world today is the Word of God. Every
agency for its distribution should be encouraged. The American Bible Society
has been especially successful. The work of the society in supplying 4,000,000
copies of the Bible, Testament, or portions, to our soldiers and sailors, and the
armies of Europe since 1914, and the placing of a copy of the Bible on the peace
table arc very commendable. These added to the volumes furnished by the
British and Scottish societies make a total of 15,000,000 copies in eighty-one lan-
guages supplied to the people involved in the war.
Since the founding of this society 103 years ago it has issued more than
130,000,000 volumes of the Bible, Testament or portions, and distributed them to
people of various languages in nearly all parts of the world. More than four
million volumes are now being distributed each year, and many more would be,
for the demand is for more, but the lack of funds prevents. In 1917 the home
agencies found 35,882 families without a Bible. Hundreds of thousands at
home still need the gospel, while hundreds of millions in foreign lands have
never heard that there is a gospel. Portions of the Bible are now printed in 650
languages.
We are glad to note that the reports to this conference show a good in-
crease over last year of funds for this society, and we pledge ourselves that we
will be faithful in our effort to raise at least the full apportionment next year
for this purpose, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified.

BOARD OF CONTROL OF DEACONESS WORK.
The Centenary affords opportunity for special emphasis upon the great work
of the deaconess. Honored of God the deaconess movement has in turrl brought
great honor to the church, and has been a beautiful objective set before the con-
secrated young womanhood of the church. The distinctive garb of the deacon-
ess is at once her badge of honor and her protection, and we urge upon our
girls such aspirations as will lead them to wear it. We rejoice in the increased
offerings for our Deaconess Board, $180 more having been contributed than last
year in a total of $766.
More than this we are happy to report that at this session we are recognizing
Miss Mary Metts, of Ossian, as a probationer.-

CHURCH LITERATURE.
Your committee on church literature recognizes the religious press as one
of the most efficient agents in the spread of the truths of the kingdom of God
and m molding the characters and fashioning the lives of our people We re-
1919] Standing Committees and Boards 499
joice in the abundance and high character of the various pubHcations of our
pubHshing" houses, and commend both books and periodicals to our people as
the very best for the upholding of the Church of Christ throughout our domain,
and that all Methodists should be urged to use our own literature in the Sunday
schools and all other church work.
We especially recommend the Western Christian Advocate to our people
as a religious periodical, second to none in its able championship of the great
moral, religious, civic and national questions of these momentous days, and
also as one of the best mediums by which an intelligent Methodism may be built
up throughout our conference and church. We also recommend to our ministers
our Methodist Review as a magazine of great value and importance.
We especially urge upon both ministers and laymen the inestimable value of
the World Outlook as the greatest single force next to the pulpit for visualizing
the world's needs, and convincing our people of the timeliness and necessity of the
great Centenary Movement. In this connection we recommend the liberal use
of all the Centenary literature available. We believe that a devoted loyalty to
our own periodicals is the one thing essential to the great forward movement
of the church and establishing an intelligent righteousness throughout our con-
ference, our area, and the entire Methodism of this country and the world.

EDUCATION.
The past year has been one of marked experiences both for the colleges of
the Church and for the Board of Education. The Educational Jubilee Campaign
was completed in July with a total of $35,000,000, added to the resources of our
institutions within a period of six years. The larger part of this was gathered
as a result of the efforts of the Jubilee forces, during the years in which the
country was at war, and is a significant achievement.
The great war put a severe strain upon the colleges, but it furnished them as
well with a great opportunity for unparalleled usefulness. This is true, not of
some colleges, but of all of them — large and small, public and private. The atti-
tude of these groups to the public welfare was the same in all, and the attitude
of the public toward them all was the. same. The war has made clear that the
public needs, and cordially recognizes, the contribution which the church is mak-
ing towards higher education. The place and function of the college are secure
as never before.
The religious situation in our own colleges is distinctly encouraging. The
war has emphasized the unselfishness of youth and the tremendous motive power
of high ideals. The Board of Education co-operates with the Board of Home
Missions to develop an all-round Christian atmosphere for Methodist students at
.State universities. Student pastors are now at work at twenty-five non-Metho-
dist institutions, and small appropriations for the support of these religious centers
are available at eighteen of them.
The only unsatisfactory report we make is of the situation in the South.
What the church is doing in and for our Southern schools is far less than the con-
ditions demand and the opportunities offer. What has been done is not unim-
portant, but it has been sadly limited by the lack of funds, and the demands
for help in other parts of the country. The time has now come when we must
promptly solve the Southern educational problem. Not only the interests of the
church, not only the proper claims of our brethren working under the hardest
conditions in the Southern mountains; but the very welfare of the country
itself, and its high mission, call upon us to give this work increased support in
money, men, and counsel.
Theowgical Schools.
Our church is justly proud of its Theological schools, and the opportunity
offered by them for thorough preparation for the ministry. The Theological
department of Boston University is doing splendid service for the church in
giving men a large and comprehensive knowledge of the Christian program
of life. The school, located in the heart of Boston, in the midst of a cosmopoli-
tan population, offers great opportunity for Christian service. President Lemuel
H. Murlin and Dean L. J. Birney have been successful in applying all the varied
^00 North Indiana Conference [1919
rosourcos of scholarship and cciuipment of the university to the development of
[he hShest possihle ideals in the minds of all who come seekmg hght m these
'•'•'"'''dJIw 'xheokSSi School at Madison, New Jersey, in close proximity to
New York City, offeVs splendid opportunity for the highest traming for the finest
kind of Christian leadership. Its professors are noted for their Christian scholar-
ship and devotion to Christian service. The equipment is adequate in every way
to hring the student to a high state of Christian scholarship and culture The
location l)eing so near the city of New York provides ample opportunity for the
student to studv and observe the methods of the great preachers in that city.
Garrett Biblical Institute at Evanston, 111., because of location and adequate
equipment, oflfers to all who seek preparation for hfe service in the church an
unequalcd opportunity in the Central West. Evanston is so near Chicago that
all students come in touch with the city and its problems, and share in all of
its benefits. The four-quarter year is providing continuous instruction and
reaching large numbers of students who could not be served except on this plan.
It makes it possible for students to shorten the course in college years by nine
montlis. and gives opportunity for pastors to avail themselves of summer schools.
This summer term is divided into two terms of six weeks each. Dr. Charles M.
Stuart, a man of great scholarship and charming personality, is president of this
school. The high standing of the faculty in the world of scholarship, the ex-
ceptional equipment, the opportunity of Chicago as a laboratory for the study
of evangelistic and social problems make a desirable center for those seeking
preparation for religious leadership.
Under the inspiritional leadership of President G. R. Grose, D.D., DePauw
University has been lifted to new levels. The million-dollar building and en-
dowment fund has been completed, and a project launched to provide a retiring
allowance for professors who have given at least twenty-five years service to
the university. It is believed that an endowment of one hundred thousand dol-
lars will amply meet these needs. Mr. Rector has added to his munificent
donations to DePauw ten thousand dollars for this fund. We most heartily com-
mend the project to the friends of the university.
Within the year Mr. A. B. Cline, of Bluffton, has given twenty-five thousand
dfjllars towards the endowment of a chair of Applied Christianity, and Mrs.
Medora Adams, of Frankfort, Indiana, has contributed at least sixty thousand
dollars to endow a chair of Christian Missions. The religious life of the school
was never finer, and a revival of far-reaching significance was held within the
spring term.
A plan to establish a district scholarship for each of the districts in the
conferences of the State is worthy of mention in this report, and should receive
the hearty support of the friends of the university. Each scholarship is to be
endowed with a fund of two thousand dollars, and the proceeds used to meet
the university fees of the holder who would be required to be a candidate for
the ministry. The relation of the university to the work of providing a trained
ministry for the church is further emphasized by the plan to establish the
Matthew-Simpson lectureship of the Christian ministry. There is no memorial
at the university for Bishop Matthew Simpson, its first president and one of the
three foremost American preachers. It is believed that ten thousand dollars
raised and devoted to the purposes of this lectureship would be the most suitable
naemorial for the great preacher, and would at the same time bring to the
university the foremost preachers of the day, and hold an exalted and inspiring
ideal of the Christian ministry before the student body.
We urge the pastors in our conference to encourage their young people to
attend DePauw. The need of trained Christian leadership was never greater than
at the present time, and we know of no better place to secure the needed training
than at DePauw. We recommend the re-election of- Mr. A. B. Cline and Mr.
Ralph Todd to succeed themselves as trustees of the university, and the appoint-
ment of the Rev. W. B. Freeland, D.D., as conference visitor.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
With profound gratitude to Almighty God for the strategic positions in
which he has placed our church throughout the world, and with a solemn sense
of the obligation which rests upon us because of this divine leadership, we pledge
ourselves to renewed consecration to the world task of Christian missions.
The world is plastic and changing. Unrest is widespread both in Europe
and in Asia. Industrial and rural populations await the constructive message of
the Christian church. Backward peoples are yearning for the ideals of Occidental
Christian civilization. The hour has come for American Christianity to propa-
gate with positiveness those ideals upon which our democratic institutions rest —
the open Bible, the free school, and the Christian family. The world expectantly
looks to America. Probably never in the world's history have the ideals of one
nation so powerfully influenced mankind.
In view of the present challenge, we hail with joy the constructive Centenary
program which the leaders of our church have brought out, and brought to such
a splendid stage of development. Our Conference will underwrite every phase
of the Centenary campaign; the Fellowship of Intercession; the Stewardship
of Possessions; the education of our constituency; the dedication to Life Service.
Pastors and laymen will rally to the Centenary standard, and we confidently ex-
pect that wlien the roll of the Conference is called in 1920, the universal report will
be "Centenary World Program Over the Top." In doing this we will write the
greatest page in our Conference history.

FREEDMEN'S AID.
The work of this society has been carried on for over fifty years. The
General Conference authorized and directed each pastor to observe the Lin-
coln Day Anniversary in February. Discipline of 1916, par. 455, page 302.
As a result of the work of the society we have 350,000 colored members,
3,500 churches, and over 2,000 ministers. Our schools supply these with pastors
and intelligent Christian leaders. For this purpose the twenty-one schools
of the Freedmen's Aid Society with their 334 teachers and 5,702 students must
be maintained.
Any program of world conquest for the Kingdom of Christ must involve
one hundred millions of black people in Africa, and twelve millions more in
the United States of America. If we can not uplift and evangelize these black
millions in the homeland, how shall we ever reach those across the seas?
The schoolhouse and the church go hand in hand in bringing the Negro in
the United States to a knowledge of the Christian faith, and fitting him that
he may do his part in bringing the dark continent into a league of Christian
nations dominated by the Christ spirit.
We recommend, therefore, that each pastor preach at least once a year
on the outlook for the black man in the United States and in Africa, and the
relation of the schools of the Freedmen's Aid Society to his evangelism.
We further recommend that each pastor observe Lincoln Memorial Sun-
day, and use the program and literature furnished by the Freedmen's Aid
Society for that occasion.
We further recommend that this subject be also brought before our
Sunday schools, Epworth Leagues, and social gatherings for study and prayer-
ful consideration.

Your committee for the Methodist Memorial Home submit the following:
1. We rejoice in the success of the home as manifested in the health and
happiness of the forty-two members who range in age from sixty-nine to ninety
years.
2. The financial condition indicates assets to the amount of $164,724, an
increase of a little over $37,220 over last year.
3. We recommend that the committee apportion to the charges of the
conference for this benevolence the sum of ten cents per member as a sus-
taining fund.
4. We recommend that Rev. E. L. Jones and wife, for their efficient and
economical administration of the affairs of the institution and that he be re-
appointed as financial secretary for the coming year.

SOCIAL SERVICE.
We have found that the messages of God's men— Moses, the prophets,
Paul, Wesley, and especially the Son of God himself, are no less social than
individualistic in application. We believe that in the Word of God we have
instruction, which, if properly interpreted and applied, will regenerate and
perfect human society as surely as it will a single soul. We hold, conversely.
1919] Standing Committees and Boards 503
that any socialistic plans or propraganda not in harmony with the fundamental
principles of the Bible are un-Christian and dangerous.
It is regrettable that a discrimination has been made between social
service and evangelism. It will be found that true evangelists of the Cross
have always preached a gospel which aims to save families, institutions, and
communities as well as individuals. Evangelism which is not social in ap-
plication is not worthy of the name. Social service is not such which offers
material comfort only and disregards the bread from heaven.
We are convinced that there is urgent need for neighborliness, as de-
fined by Christ, in all societies and institutions in this country. Jesus forgave
his murderers, for he knew he was crucified not so much by individuals as by
a system of which they were victims. We approve of co-operative plans
in industry. The privileged and the strong have an obligation to the burdened
and the weak. But what is needed is equality of opportunity rather than of
condition.
We believe that the church has a large opportunity to serve and chris-
tianize the various groups of our land. We hope that our own church shall be
swift to meet this opportunity.
We commend the work of the Methodist Federation for Social Service,
and urge that there be more complete knowledge of this organization and sup-
port of its work.
We urge that our pastors acquaint themselves with the distressing needs of
society today and present messages in accord with the New Testament social
teachings. Also that they plan systematic surveys of conditions in their re-
spective local communities and seek with godly care to provide for the desper-
ate needs revealed in many communities, rural and urban.

STATE OF THE COUNTRY.
The North Indiana Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church gives
thanks to Almighty God for the glorious and victorious ending of the recent
war. That we have been led into the deep valley of sacrifice and death is so
apparent that it scarcely needs to be mentioned, but if thereby we have been
brought into closer relation to God, and have been given a higher ideal of our
relation to all men the world over, we are willing to pay in gold and blood and
the lives of our own precious boys all that it has cost. But if by the political
chicanery of men the high motives of our great strife should be debased to the
old-time ideals of selfish greed, either national or individual, then we regret a
thousand times our great sacrifice. We are confident, however, in saying that
we believe that never will this nation of ours be controlled, or in any way domi-
nated by the old spirit which once possessed us, and that from now one our
people having learned the lesson of generous giving and glorious sacrifice will
be possessed by faith greater and brighter than ever before.
Therefore we express our hope that peace terms will be consummated as
soon as possible, and in such a way as will bring about as much as possible the
reparation of the great wrongs that have been perpetrated upon our suffering
allies, who have done so much to stand between us and danger, and re-establish
the natural and free relationship between all the nations of the world.
We also express our hope that in the readjustment of our national life
and world life the rights of all men shall be so guarded and protected that the
men of low birth or high, of wealth or without it, shall be protected, and they
shall not be allowed to prey upon each other.
We also commend the great outstanding principles of the League of Nations
and recognizing that there may be some minor changes or amendments which
may be necessary in the final adjustment, we express it as our hope that the
United States Senate will not allow any false idea of loyalty to sway us from
this great principle.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
It is becoming more and more evident that the Sunday school is the hope
of tlic cliurch of tomorrow. The young Hfe of the church must hereby be con-
served, and botli old and young, working together, is the best assurance that
the church will be safe and efficient in the years to come when the ideas ot to-
day siiall be the realities of tomorrow. _
We believe that tlie Sunday schools of Methodism are one of the greatest
assets to our ever-increasing church; that the young life of our country, which
passes through the Sunday school, furnishes the majority of the incoming
memliership of the church; that there rests upon us a grave responsibility,
suggested bv the words of our Christ, "Feed my lambs," which may in some
measure be 'discharged by the Sunday school; that from and by means of the
Sunday school, the great call of the church for Christian workers to carry into
actual 'life the great plans of the Centenary Movement shall be answered; that
voung life touched by the sacred influence of the teachers in the Sunday school
if often turned into the channels of Christian service; that there are increasing
demands for trained instructors in the Sunday school; that there are wonder-
ful possibilities in the Sunday school with regard to missionary giving.
Therefore, we urge that our interest and attention be more keen and
urgent in every phase of the work of this institution ; that we plan for and make
Decision Day mean more than hitherto in bringing the members of our Sunday
.schools to definite acceptance of Jesus Christ as Savior; that we as preachers,
urge upon the teachers the importance of directing their pupils into the avenues
of Christian service; that teachers' training classes be organized and carried for-
ward, and that we utilize the latent possibilities of our Sunday schools in the
supporting of the great missionary cause and inculcate the principles of Chris-
tian stewardship.
We rejoice in the glorious and successful efforts of our Bord of Sunday
Schools whose programs and plans are second to none. We rejoice in the wise
and elevating literature which the church puts forward and recommend that
it be used in preference to any other. We rejoice that the Styiday schools have
lieen given by the church a part in the great Centenary tasks, and pledge their
loyal support in carrying out their part in the Centenary programs.
It is ours to get under the responsibilities, give ourselves to our tasks, utiliz-
ing all legitimate means, and also the well-thought-out plans of the Board of
Sunday Schools to make the Sunday schools a still greater factor within the
church for good, and the accomplishment of the purpose of God in the world.

Tlie obligation of strength to weakness is a fundamental teaching of our
Christ. The sustentation system of our conference is a wise and practical appli-
cation of this much-needed truth.
On the advice of our district superintendents we recommend that a total of
$6,200 be raised for this cause ; $1,200 to be applied as a salary for the student
pastor at Purdue University, the remaining $S,ooo to be distributed among the
districts in amounts proportioned to the amount raised within the district.
Since some of the district superintendents have submitted itemized reports
of disbursal of sustentation funds, we recommend that this be the manner of
report for all the district superintendents.

TEMPERANCE.
We thank God and congratulate the church on the passing of "Old John
tsarieycorn. 1 his arch enemy of mankind had too long preyed upon the weak-
nesses of men and fattened upon the stolen bread of women and children
-.cxo.-icfYr'^'"' ^' ^^^'""^^ vigilance is the price of liberty," we warn our people
against the easy persuasion that the fight is over
1919] Standing Committees and Boards 505
We deplore the fact that our State Senate refused to give the necessary
vote to make the "Wright Bone Dry Bill" a law^ after the house had passed the
bill by vote of TZ to 24. This bill enacted into law would have aided in enforcing
the prohibition law.
We join in branding the "No Beer, No Work," and "No Beer, No Liberty
Bonds," as rank disloyalty and anarchy, and declare ourselves as unalterably
opposed to such un-American and unpatriotic propaganda.
We recognize that the prohibition movement has become world-wide, and we
pledge our untiring efforts to make it universally triumphant.
We express our sympathy with the movement to stamp out venereal disease,
and pledge our co-operation with the government in its work to that end. We
are persuaded that certain by-products of the war lead us logically to conclude
that there is everywhere a quickened conscience and a sobered mind. The
eternal verities have been brought so near hundreds of thousands of homes and
millions of lives that new adjustments to the religion of Christ have become an
absolute necessity. It therefore occurs to your committee that the church will
be very recreant to a great opportunity, and to a sacred trust, if she does not
especially plan for the moral welfare of the returning soldiers. After one has
offered his life in loyal service to his country it ought to be a delightful and an
easy task to lead him to the glory of a siirrendered life to Jesus Christ, the
Captain of our salvation.
We view with alarm the increase in the use of cigarettes, especially among
our soldier and sailor boys, and we desire to register our approval of the work
of our Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals, as well as the
work of the W. C. T. U., and any other approved agency in checking this tendency.

WOMAN'S FOREIGN MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
1869 — 1919
To Bishop Nicholson and Pastors, Greeting:
In the beginning our slogan set was "Two cents a week and a prayer." At
the beginning of our five year Jubilee campaign a goal was set for —
1,000 missionaries on the Jubilee Roll. 400,000 members in all our societies.
180,000 subscribers to our periodicals. 1,600,000 dollars for the conquest, that
all non-Christian women might have an opportunity to know the Saviour of the
world.
North Indiana Conference was given its prorata. We have fulfilled the quota
as to the first three requirements — and by September 5, 1919, will have com-
pleted the whole. Today, April the 4th, our books show 3,850 active members, and
429 honorary members, a net gain of 4,279 or 104 per cent, grand total of 10,718;
a net gain of 127 organizations or 65 per cent, grand total of 330. Subscribers
to Missionary Friend, 2,104, a net gain of 913; subscribers to Junior Friend, 1,400,
a net gain 0^484. Three hundred names have been recorded in the Jubilee Le-
gion, and best of all, five consecrated well-qualified girls have gone to represent
Jesus the Christ in the benighted lands. Marie Adams, from Fortville, Muncie
District, to Taianfu, China. Pauline Place, from Pennville, Richmond District,
to Nagasaki, Japan. Joyce Walker, a second-generation missionary (whose
parents went to China from our Conference) is now in Peking. Hazel Shoub,
from Fort Wayne, is doing hospital work in Nanchang, China, and Roxy Lefforge,
North Manchester, in Foochow College.
Even with this encouraging report there are six women to our one not yet
rnembers, whose privilege and absolute duty is imperatively required to meet the
demand. We are fully co-operating with General Board in its work at home and
abroad, and plead with other 42,000 women to join us in prayer for ultimate
victory. Respectfully submitted,
Florence Clark Binford,
April 4, 1919. Conference Secretary.

(c) SPECIAL COMMITTEES.
ARMY SERVICE.
On account of lack of data this committee is able to make a report in a gen-
eral way only. Six members and one probationer became army chaplains. They
were W. E. McPheters, John F. Edwards, A. C. Hoover, R. W. Rogers, P. E.
Greenwalt, K. R. Thompson, and Fred R. Hill. L. D. Hershberger and Karl
H. Carlson entered the ranks as privates, and V. L. Clear was commissioned as
a first lieutenant, August 20, 1918. He became an expert in small arms instruc-
tion. Eight members entered Y. M. C. A. work, namely, W. E. Pittenger, M. E.
Shattuck, R. S. Shaw, R. W. Stoakes, Earl Naftzger, L. O. Winslow, R. E.
Zeigler, L. A. Swisher, and H. A. Wann, a probationer.
Some of these men have returned to take up their regular place in the
conference, others are still overseas. These men have done heroic religious work
for our soldiers. To them they have preached the gospel of Christ. For them
they have written letters. They have cheered those far away in their homesick-
ness. They have entered into the entertainments to amuse them. They have
made sacrifices for the personal comfort of these boys. They have held inter-
views with them concerning their personal relation with God. They have seen
thousands of them make decisions in public meetings. They have pointed the
sick to the Great Physician, and the dying to the Great Advocate.
One returned Y. M. C. A. worker reports from August 20, 1917, to April
I, 1919, he had preached 217 times and lectured 306 times ; that he had had over
200 conversions in personal work, and had seen about 600 respond to appeal
for decisions in public meetings. We thank- God for the great work that
these men have done and for their safe return, and we pledge our brethren
who are still overseas our constant and earnest prayers, that they may be
preserved in health and life until they return to the best country on earth,
AMERICA.

AUDITOR'S REPORT.
The auditor for this conference presents the following report :
We audited the pastors reports as required by the conference, indicated
necessary corrections, and checked the same to the treasurer. We have the books
of the Conference Corporation and found the balances correct.
The accounts of the district superintendents were checked up and found the
balances to be correct.
The Conference secretary's accounts were gone over, and find a deficit of
$3.52 from one charge in the conference minute account.
The books of the treasurer of the Board of Stewards were not in shape
to balance, and will be balanced in the interim of the conference.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES DePAUW UNIVERSITY.
We commend the action of the Board of Trustees and visitors of DePauw
University in retaining the restrictions with regard to dancing, and we request
the trustees and visitors elected from this conference to vote at any subsequent
meeting of this board in harmony with this resolution. W. W. Martin.
Cabinet Resolutions.
Personally and as a body the cabinet welcomes this opportunity of expressing
high appreciation of the work and worth of our resident Bishop, Thomas
Nicholson. In the seclusion of the cabinet session we find him exhibiting the
democratic spirit and unimpeachable impartiality in his treatment of men so
characteristic of his more-public administration of our ecclesiastical interests.
Our confidence in this able statesman, wise administrator and Christian gentle-
men grows as our relation with him becomes more vital in the expanding and
enlarging program of the church.

COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Your committee on resolutions desire to again make record of our apprecia-
tion of our beloved Bishop Nicholson. His leadership in all lines of church ac-
tivity, especially in the great Centenary movement, is masterful and optimistic.
His presidency over this conference has been both wise and brotherly, and we
shall be very pleased to welcome him to Richmond next year.
We wish to thank the conference officers for their faithful and untiring
devotion to their duties in office.
The gratitude of the entire conference is due the Rev. Chas H. Smith, and
his faithful church for the royal entertainment afforded, and their careful atten-
tion to the convenience and comfort of their guests.
We are not unmindful of the gracious courtesy of the sister churches of
Peru for their open doors and their sweet co-operation. We thank them.
We are grateful to the banks for their courtesy; to the papers for their
consideration ; to the visiting talent appearing on our program. They have
thrilled, instructed, and inspired us.
The choir and organist for delightful music, and last but not least to the
janitor who has kept the church in proper condition.
It has been a notable conference, and we thank all who in any way or any
degree contributed to make this session at Peru one of the best in our Conference
history.

THE RURAL CHURCH.
The commission on the rural church, believing that one of the most im-
portant fields of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the future, as in the past, is
to be found in the country, makes the following recommendations :
First: That there shall be organized in each district of the conference
a rural church commission, to consist of five members, the district superintendent,
two pastors serving on charges in rural work, and two laymen, the duty of this
commission to be to arrange a program and assist the work in the district on
the rural charges.
Second: We commend the district superintendents for reducing the size
of the circuits. The fact that some of the churches are closed, and the con-
gregations united with another nearby village church is not a sign of decadence
l)Ut progress.
Third: We recommend that the district commission do everything pos-
sible to encourage the rural churches to add basements and class rooms and
other modern equipment to meet the new conditions of the present age.
Fourth: We recommend that the pastors of the rural churches attend the
Rural Church Conference, held each year at Purdue University, and any other
such conventions as may be possible.
We desire that the committee on program of the next session of the con-
ference arrange for a rural church hour.
V. L. Clear, Chairiitan,
P. E. Green WAET, Secretary.
Tayeor University.
Your committee on Taylor University report as follows :
We have received a tender of the institution from the National Local Preach-
ers' Association contemplating a joint control by that association with the
North Indiana Conference. This proposition was regarded as unsatisfactory.
It seems necessary to wait until the next annual meeting of that association
which is to be held in Upland, Indiana, about October first, in the hope that the
association will extend an offer of unconditional ownership and management.
The Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church has not been
officially consulted. This board does not meet until next December. We there-
fore cannot secure action from them until that date.
We there recommend :
First, that the present committee be continued and be enlarged to include the
members of the cabinet of the conference, and the members from this conference
on the commission of education for Indiana, to report such recommendations
as, under the circumstances, seem wise.
_ Second, that representation of the matter be made to the Board of Education
at its annual meeting, by the committee.
Third, that in case the full ownership and management of Taylor University
should l)c offered to our conference, and the University Senate approves, a
sustaining fund for the instructors of ten cents per member for the year be
apportioned to our charges, the same to be disbursed by a committee to consist of
1919] Special Committees 509
Wabash district superintendent, Muncie district superintendent, and the pastor
at Upland.
That Sunday, January 4, 1920, shall be the day upon which the pastors shall
raise this fund.
Fourth, we recommend that no other definite action be taken until a subse-
quent session of our conference.

UNMARKED GRAVES.
Several of our deceased members lie in unmarked graves, the location of some
of which is unknown. Investigations thus far made reveals the fact that suitable
monuments mark the graves of most of our deceased brothers.
It is recommended that the committee be retained that complete information
as to this matter may be secured.
The committee is requested to present at the Conference of 1920 a plan
whereby sufficient funds to place monuments at the unmarked graves of the de-
ceased brothers may be provided.

WESLEY FOUNDATION OF PURDUE UNIVERSITY.
The work of the church at Purdue University went on steadily throughout
the entire conference year. The different types of students called for the re-
adjustment of this work at various times. During the summer, the student pas-
tor acted as an official Y. M. C. A. religious-work director of the United States
Truck Masters' school, located there. In the period of the Students' Army Train-
ing Corps, his work was largely confined to the work with the boys in the bar-
racks. Now since the University is getting back on a peace basis, the normal
student pastor's type of work is being re-established.
There have been about 1,200 different Methodist students at Purdue this
year. This number along with the interdenominational work made a large field
for service for our church. Various means have been used to interpret the spirit
and life of Jesus to this large number of Methodist people. Every third Sunday
night has been university night in the West LaFayette Church, and the student
pastor has brought in the very best speakers on war themes in the country.
There has not been room in this church to hold the crowds.
The big objective of the leaders in the Centenary has been to make our
universities recruiting centers for trained men and women, who will go out in
special lines of Christian service under the church. For five months the field
has been worked at Purdue, so that up to date there are on the books of the Mis-
sionary Candidate Department thirty Purdue men and women who have expressed
their desires to be used by the church for these larger interests of the Kingdom,
in home and foreign fields.
The student pastor has made it his object to know and be a friend to every
one of the students. He has entertained them in the parish house, organized their
religious and social activities, taught classes in Biblical and religious subjects,
directed the thinking along religious lines of a group of foreign students, and
represented the church in every interest in which it was vitally interested in these
students from our Methodist homes.
As Fremont E. Fribley, the present student pastor, wishes to return to the
pastorate, we recommend the appointment of R. W. Rogers as student pastor.
We also recommend the Conference to appoint as directors, C. E. Line, for three-
year period of service; W. B. Freeland, for the two-year period of service; and
M. S. Marble, for the one-year period of service.

ANNUITY CLAIMS.
Whereas, It has been, and is, the fixed policy of North Indiana Annual
Conference to pay, in full, all claims and apportionments justly laid upon it,
therefore,
Resolved, That the Conference Board of Stewards are hereby authorized
and instructed to, each year, carefully estimate the amount necessary to meet
in full all Annuity Claims of the Conference Claimants of this Conference,
according to Pars. 336 and 341 of the Discipline, adding thereto such an amount
as, in the judgment of the Board of Stewards, is necessary to pay all Neces-
sitous Claims, and the amount apportioned by the Commission on Finance for
the Board of Conference Claimants, and report the total amount to the sec-
retary of the cabinet of the Conference for distribution, by the cabinet, to the
districts; and no further action by the Conference shall be required until this
order is revoked.
The Board of Stewards are further authorized and instructed to take from
the Conference Collections for Conference Claimants such an amount as is
necessary to meet the claims on the Necessitous Fund; and, in this matter, no
further conference action shall be necessary unless this action shall be revoked,

CONFERENCE CLAIMANTS.
Amendment to rule governing Conference Claimants in employment on charge.
WhkrEas, The North Indiana Conference at its session in 1916 passed in a
resolution several rules governing the Board of Stewards in the distribution
of Conference Funds, and
WhkrKas. The second of the foregoing rules works an injustice in some
cases on Conference Claimants who are employed as Supplies on Charges, by
annulling all claims to the Annuity on the occasion of such employment, there-
fore be it
Resolved, That the second rule before mentioned be amended to read as
follows, viz. :
That in the interval between the sessions of the Annual Conference, any
Conference Claimant, who shall be employed to do supply work on a charge,
shall forfeit- only that part of his claims on the Conference Funds, that will
make his income from the Conference with his salary in excess of $1,200.

DIVORCE.
Believing that the position of our church on divorce as published in our book
of discipline is in entire harmony with the declaration of our Lord and Master
Jesus Christ; we, therefore, call upon our authorities to insist on a strict and
impartial enforcement of all our rules on the subject in order that both min-
istry and membership complicity with this great evil which so generally affects
our modern society. Sherman PowEel.

who Ur. Stevens was, therefore be it
Resolved, The North Indiana Conference respectfully request the Metho-
dist Ministers Association, of Los Angeles, to inquire into the matter, if it has
not been done, and see what can be done. E F Hasty

Book Concern. Read with care.
2. A properly authenticated certificate showing that a student has already
pursued and passed a satisfactory examination in a prescribed course of study as
a regular attendant on the class-room instruction in any of our regular theological
seminaries, universities, or colleges, approved by our University Senate, will be
received in lieu of Conference examinations.
3. Similar certificates may be received in all studies not biblical or theological,
from other than Methodist schools, if of equal grade with those approved by our
University Senate. The Board of Examiners in each particular case will determine
whether the work done is a fair equivalent or not.
4. Certificates containing grades designated credit shall be received, and
grades entered the same as the average of those grades contained in the certificate.
5. All examinations must be taken at the Mid-year Institute, or at the seat of
the Annual Conference, on Tuesday of Conference week. Exception to this rule
will be made in the case of a student in the mission field.
6. All written work on "books to be studied" must be given to the examiner
by the time of the Mid-year Institute. All written work on "books to be read"
will be due on or before March first. No credits after these respective dates.
7. One paper of approximately one thousand words will be required on a chapter
of each book; this applies to both lists: "books to be studied" and "books to be
read." Students will select chapter.
8. The directions of the Discipline 1916, par. 596, 597, 598, and 599, sec. 1,
will be strictly enforced. Students should read with care.
9. All candidates for admission must pass an examination in "The Art of

10. All candidates for ordination under the local rules will report to the Chair-
man of the Board of Examiners for examinations.
11. All written work must be in the hands of examiners by March first, in
order to receive credit. The District Superintendents are requested to urge all
candidates for examination to appear at the Mid-year Institute. On motion it was
decided that before a man may be advanced from the Studies of the First and Third
Year, he must have out at least two-thirds of his work. The place for the Mid-
year Institute will be announced later.

MRS. MARY WILKINSON.
Mary, daughter of George and Rebecca Hawkins, was born in Columbiana
County, near Lisbon, Ohio, September 10, 1842. When she was sixteen years of age
she and her parents settled at Harlan, Allen County, Indiana. Here, on June 5,
1862, she was married to Charles H. Wilkinson, a licensed local preacher, in the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and who five
years later became a member of the North
Indiana Annual Conference, and continued
an unbroken line of service in the active
ministry until six years ago, when at his
own request her husband was granted a
retired relation.
During these forty-five years in the
active ranks of the ministry they served
twenty charges, in which they had the un-
usual experience of returning to the same
charge, Simpson Church, Ft. Wayne, just
twenty years after leaving it, in 1868.
The remarkable success of the work
in the ministry was not only due to the
untiring efforts and hard work, along with
the passion for souls of her husband, but
also to the fact that while he preached
she prayed, and then in her quiet, unos-
tentatious way, doing the work of a faith-
ful co-laborer of God. As a result of this
united and consecrated effort God blessed
them with more than 2,500 conversions to
Christ and 2,316 were added to the church
in membership.
Her own conversion dates back to
1856, when at the age of fourteen she was
gloriously saved in a prayer meeting at a
farmer's home and became a member of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. The
fields of the ministry were large and their
labors hard, but they went forth and endured, "seeing Him who is invisible." Only
recently she said to her husband, "If we had our lives to live over again we would
travel the same road for Jesus' sake."
Two children, M. L. Wilkinson, of St. Louis, Missouri, and Mrs. Cora A. Cum-
mings, of Chicago, are the fruitage of their home, both of whom have always been
an unusual blessing to their parents, and live to comfort and care for our dear Brother
Wilkinson. Two grandchildren, Mrs. Juniata Mayfield, of Nashville, Tennessee,
and Miss Beulah Cummings, of Chicago, share in the sorrow at the loss of one whom
to know was like light of heaven. Her children say that in all these years they have
never heard their mother speak a harsh word to them or about any one. Her life
to them was a sunbeam, the memories of which will continue to shine on through
the ages to come.
Six years ago they retired from the active ranks of the ministry and since that
time have made their home at Rome City. To the community and church here
they have continued faithful in their ministrations in the kingdom of Christ. Always
in every church service, no night was too dark or stormy, always in the quiet of their
home lifting their hearts to God for their pastor and church, and the people of the
home community. Though to us to-day her sun has set, like the sun above us it
still shines on, and will while the ages roll.

Her |)raycrs so faithfully and fervently ofTered to God, will no more be heard
at Ihc family or altar of her church, yet the memories of them will continue to
cheer and comfort not only those of her own household, but of the churches they
served tlirough life. Who will say that to-day this beautiful type of Christian
womanhooti is not realizing answered prayer, in the realms of bliss, for in the night
of April 22, 1918, angels came and carried her to her home eternal that Jesus Christ
lunl gone to prepare for her?
"We speak of the realms of the blest,
That country so bright and so fair,
And oft are its glories confessed.
But she knows what it is to be there."
The funeral services were conducted by her pastor, W. T. Daly, in her home
church, Thursday, April 25, 1918, at 2 P. M. He was assisted by the following
ministers of the Conference: Rev. R. J. Wade, District Superintendent; George F.
Hubbartt, C. L. DeBow, C. A. Hile, M. F. Stright, J. C. Woodruff, F. A. LeMaster,
and J. W. Oborn. Her body was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery, Wolcottville,
to await the call to the resurrected life.
MARY PEDDYCORD.
Mary Peddycord, daughter of Joel R. Smith and Hanna Smith, was born April
1, 1841. Passed to her heavenly home''on the evening of May 21, 1918, having
reached the age of seventy-seven years and
one month. At the age of six years she
was converted and joined the Methodist
Episcopal Church.
On February 24, 1861, she married
Nathan T. Peddycord; to this union five
Ijoys were born. The three youngest
passed away in infancy. Two sons, James
William and Levi Munson, still live to
mourn a loving mother's love.
She had a passion for souls, much
given to secret prayer and possessed a
God-given power in prayer that touched
the throne of grace and melted her hear-
ers to tears of penitence and joy. She
was a very great help to her husband. Rev.
Nathan T. Peddycord, as she always saw
the bright side and silver lining to every
cloud. She was a persistent church at-
tendant, going just a few days before she
died, and with Paul she could say, "I
iiave fought a good fight, I have kept the
faith." She very much liked the song,
"This Is Like Heaven to Me"; her two
:<randdaughters sang it over and over
again to her. The funeral was conducted
1 y Rev. J. F. Garrett, of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, and the body
was laid in the Waller Cemetery, at Wal-
ler, Texas, beside her husband.

GEORGE H. HILL.
George H. Hill was born- in Lunenburg, Vermont, December 30, 1839. His
parents. Rev. Lewis Hill and Olive Marsh Hill, were in the active ministry of the
Vermont Conference nearly forty years. It was their wish that their only son
should be ii preacher He was a Christian lad and throughout his life kept the
laith ot his fathers. But ambition led him to study the law. He was admitted to
the Iwr and began practice in his native State, Vermont, in 1862.
ihe lure of the West drew him to Wisconsin, where he located in Sheboygan
rails, boon the nation s distress led him to enlist as a recruit in the Fourth Wis-

consin Cavalry, and he served until the close of the War. Throughout the rest of
his life he maintained the same patriotic spirit and love for the Hag. He counted
it a privilege to wear the little bronze button, the emblem of the G. A. R.
After the war he located in Goshen, Indiana, and engaged in the drug business.
.On May 14, 1867, he was united in marriage to Miss Saida E. D. Peck. It was a
union of rare devotion, each to the other,
and they celebrated their golden wedding
May 14, 1917, in their Indianapolis home.
Two years after their marriage the\
yielded themselves without reserve to the
Christian ministry. For a year Brother
Hill supplied the North Mishawaka Cir-
cuit, and in 1870 was admitted on trial
to the North Indiana Conference and sta-
tioned at Bristol, where he remained two
years. Failing health caused him to
transfer to the Kansas Conference, where
he served two years in pioneer charges
before he gave up and moved to a farm.
While there he was superintendent of tlie
Sunday school held in the schoolhouse,
and often held religious services in tht
neighborhood. One year, from carh
spring until midwinter, he preached ever\
Sunday in a schoolhouse nine miles from
home. The years in Kansas brought sor-
row in the death of three baby boys.
In 1882 Brother Hill transferred back
to the North Indiana Conference. From
that time until his retirement his whole
time and energy were given to the upbuild-
ing of Christ's kingdom. He served the
following charges: Mexico Circuit, South
Whitley, Bourbon, Huntington, five years;
High Street, Munice, five years; Grace
Church, Richmond, three years; super-
intendent Richmond District, six years; Bluffton (nominal), and North Manchester.
He served as delegate to the General Conferences at Cleveland, Ohio, in 1896, and
Los Angeles, in 1904. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him
by DePauw University in 1897.
He was a student, a lover of books, a logician, arid withal a modest man. Re-
tiring in his disposition, he did not boast his own endowments or his achievements.
Yet he had the courage of his convictions and his voice never called retreat but
always forward to higher ideals. While a valiant soldier of the cross he was pre-
eminently a minister of reconciliation and comfort. As pastor, preacher, adviser,
friend, everywhere he was greatly beloved.
The breadth of his career as a student, lawyer, soldier, business man, farmer,
and preacher, together with his large sympathy and keen insight into men's spir-
itual needs, enabled him to draw many men into the fold of Christ during his min-
istry. He was a preacher of more than usual power. Someone has said of his ser-
mons: "He always seemed to hav the message most needed. His calm yet forceful
manner, and simple but wonderful confidence, gave strength and encouragement."
He was the instrument of bringing many souls into Christ's kingdom and of rebuild-
ing character and strengthening the weak.
After his retirement, in 1908, Dr. Hill and his family moved to Indianapolis,
where he frequently assisted the pastors of the city churches. For one year, 1910-11,
he regularly supplied the Columbia Avenue Church, where he was greatly beloved,
and the work prospered in his care.
Dr. Hill lived in Richmond, Indiana, longer than in any other place. As pastor
of Grace Church, as superintendent of the Richmond District, and as superannuate
that had been his home. He was there while his wife and invalid daughter were
in Colorado, and there he bore his greatest sorrow when his precious daughter died
in 1906.

Rev. George H. Hill.

witli liis wife, went to Richmond. Shortly after the evening meal, in the home of
dear friends, 'he was stricken with cerebral hemorrhage. He was taken to Reid
Memorial Hospital, where every possible care was given him, and his loving wife
was constantly with him, but he did not regain consciousness. Sunday night, at
11.30, May 26, 1918, his loving heart ceased to beat and his soul passed on into the
life of God's own. , , . , -r , , .. . . • i i • u.
Mr. and Mrs. Horace Kramer opened their beautiful home that his body might

Wednestlay afternoon. May 29, impressive services were held in Grace Church,
conducted by Rev. Somerville Light, D.D., superintendent of Richmond District.
I'rayer was offered by Dr. J. A. Beatty, the lesson read by Dr. H. L. Overdeer,
the obituary by Dr. C. U. Wade. Dr. L. J. Naftzger spoke of Dr. Hill's ministry.
Dr. Joseph Greene, of Broadway Methodist Episcopal Church, Indianapolis, spoke
of him as a retired minister, and Dr. C. E. Bacon told of his personal characteristics.
Other ministers assisted at Earlham Cemetery, where he was laid to rest beside his
beloved daughter Mary.
He is survived by his widow, two sons, and one sister — G. Edward Hill and wife
and son Donald, Harry H. Hill and wife and daughter Rosemary, and Mrs. J. H.
Knox, Stoneham, Massachusetts.
The presence at the funeral of ministers from over the State, and of delegations
from Muncie and Huntington and Richmond District, bringing their tributes of
flowers, showed how greatly this good man was loved.
Ministers said: "That was my ideal of a last service for a faithful servant of
God called home"; "There was a triumphant note in it all"; " 'Twas like a corona-
tion."
WILLIAM DAVID PARR,
In the eventide of a summer day the busy, active life of William David Parr,
a gifted and unique minister of the Word, came to its earthly close. His travels,
his varied experiences, his connection with
a multitude of interests, made for him a
large place in the councils of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. The same factors ex-
tended his sphere beyond the limits of the
church and contributed to an enlarged and
broad-minded world-citizenship.
Our brother was born near Jolietville,
Indiana, November 10, 1855. He was the
son of Alfred and Margaret Parr. The
young mother died while he was yet in
his infancy, and he grew up under the
care of a good woman who was the mother
of his father's other six sons and only
daughter. A finer example of the elder
brother than was found in the man's
praise whose praise we express is not
found in the family life of our Common-
wealth. William D. Parr and Miss Cora
Walton, of Atlanta, Ind., were married
January 11,1883. Four children came to
the home: Mrs. Leslie R. Naftzger, whose
husband is a major in the American Ex-
peditionary Forces in France; Walton
Parr, of Camp Taylor, Kentucky; Mrs.
Lawrence Birch, of Danville, Illinois, and
Miss Mildred Parr, at home. The purity,
kindness, and high-mindedness of the man
were nowhere more evidenced than within
the circle of the home. Of his father's
family there survive his half-sister, Mrs.
l/, !^aston, of Lebanon, Indiana, and four half-brothers: Charles Parr, Sheridan ;
trank Parr, Lebanon; Dr. Harry Parr, Indianapolis, and Dr. Emery Parr, in the
Rev. William David Parr.
1919] Memoirs 527
From the local public school, when yet a lad, William D. Parr entered the
Greencastle Preparatory School of Indiana Asbury University. He completed the
work there and was admitted to the Asbury College of Liberal Arts, whence he
graduated in 1875. The course in Drew Theological Seminary followed. At the
session of the North Indiana Conference, held at Anderson by Bishop Peck, April
3-8, 1878, nine young men were admitted. So far as is known to the writer, but two
of these survive: John T. P^ettro and Robert S. Reed. Third Street, Ft. Wayne,
was the first appointment, and in order his assignments follow: Westfield, Cam-
bridge City, Waterloo, Elkhart, Kokomo, Wayne Street at Ft. Wayne, Kokomo
District; Assistant Secretary of the Board of Church Extension. Since 1912 he has
been dedicator of churches at large. Notable revivals attended his ministry at
Westfield, Kokomo, and elsewhere. At Waterloo a church was built under very
trying circumstances; Trinity Church, Elkhart, and Grace Church, Kokomo, are
monuments to his wisdom, skill, and devotion. Probably he dedicated more churches
than any other man of his day.
Doctor Parr was a member of the Board of Trustees of Taylor University, of
the Board of Trustees of the Methodist Hospital, of the Wesley Foundation for
Student Work at Purdue University, and since 1894 a member of the Board of
Trustees of DePauw University'. Four times his colleagues honored him with
membership in the General Conference. He was a personal friend of McCabe,
Fowler, and other leaders of the church, and was as widely acquainted with Meth-
odism as any of his peers. In 1901 he was a delegate to the Ecumenical Conference
in London. Clark University and DePauw LIniversity conferred upon him the
honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity.
It should be stated that in addition to the conventional work of the ministry,
William D. Parr was interested in civic affairs. He took an active part in praise-
worthy political and social movements, and served as a member of the City Park
Board; he was also a much appreciated advisor in matters of weighty responsi-
bilities. In business life he was president of the Planhard Manufacturing Company,
a director in the Kokomo Steel and Wire Company, and a director of the Globe
Stove and Range Company.
On Sunday, August 4, it was his pleasure to dedicate the new church at Atlanta,
Indiana, a place very dear to him, because it was the scene of his first labors, and
the girlhood home of Mrs. Parr. The last of his earthly Sabbaths he taught his
Sunday-school class, and was in attendance upon the morning worship. Just after
the midnight hour he was stricken, and he passed away at eight o'clock in the even-
ing, August 12, at the age of sixty-two. From expressions which he had made to
Mrs. Parr, there were indications that he suspected that the time of departure was
near and that the path to the Shining City was clear.
The funeral services were conducted in Grace Church, Kokomo, by the pastor,
Rev. W. B. Freeland. Rev. B. S. HoUopeter, district superintendent, led in prayer;
addresses were made by Doctors George R. Grose, Hilary A. Gobin, and Leslie J.
Naftzger; by Professor Newton Wray and Mr. A. B. Cline. Interment was made
at Kokomo. W. B. Freeland.
REV. H. EARL COE.
"A good soldier of Jesus Christ." Having definitely determined that accom-
plishment in childhood, having been trained and disciplined by godly parents to
appreciate every moral and spiritual grace, having been vitally related to the pro-
gram of the high school, the university, and the theological seminary, having pur-
posed in his heart to unselfishly serve humanity and glorify God, Rev. Henry Earl
Coe, the son of Henry E. and Hattie A. Coe, won the highest distinction of being
"a good soldier of Jesus Christ."
He was born in DeKalb County, Indiana, August 3, 1893, and was accidentally
drowned in Wiley Lake, near Corunna, Indiana, about 12.30 P. M., August 13, 1918.
He was a graduate of Auburn High School, of Ohio Wesleyan LTniversity,
where he was awarded a hundred-dollar scholarship for higher education, and also
graduated from Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, New Jersey.
He was admitted to the Conference in 1917. He was appointed to the Corunna
and Wayne Center charge by Bishop Nicholson, April, 1918.

Rev. H. Earl Coe.
Humble, kind, good, and true are the
expressions of appreciation for his life by
those who knew him intimately. His
frankness and evident sincerity made
for him in a v'ery brief time a large circle
of friends in the ministry, and his faithful-
ness to the work of the parish and the
beautiful, Christlike spirit developed a
great appreciation from his home com-
munity.
His saintly mother passed to her
heavenly home December 30, 1917, and
now his loving father, two brothers —
George, of Sacramento, California, and
Robert, of Long Beach — and an only
sister, Mrs. Jessie Bair, of St. Paul,
Minnesota, are again weeping over the
departure of a loved one, but sustained
and comforted with the assurance that
mother and son are safe in the arms of
Jesus.
The funeral was held in his own
church at Corunna, Friday afternoon, at 2
o'clock, August 16, 1918, in charge of
District Superintendent Wade and Rev.
F. A. LeMaster, of Kendallville. Four-
teen of his brother ministers were present
and assisted in the impressive services.
The body was laid to rest in the Auburn
Cemetery.
MRS. GRACE L. BURKETT.
These lines present — though in all too poor a fashion — something of the spirit
of Mrs. Grace L. Burkett, wife of A. D. Burlcett, of the North Indiana Conference,
Methodist Episcopal Church.
Mrs. Burkett, daughter of William and Clara Campbell, was born near Salem,
Blue Creek Township, Adams County, Indiana, January 16, 1878. Sickly in child-
hood, only constant, loving care on the part of her parents brought her to healthy
girlhood. But as the years passed she repaid that care manyfold. For, by the early
death of both an older and a younger sister, she was left as the only daughter to her
parents and as the only sister to her five brothers. And, because of the infirmities
of her mother, she, in the sense of service, mothered the family and became a wise
and efficient home-keeper.
Three great ideas gripped her in girlhood, remained with her through life,
became part of the very fiber and tissue of her being, and so molded her into as
noble and useful a character as the great, quiet, unassuming, unheralded part of
the world possessed. These ideas were: (1) to be a true Christian girl; (2) to get
a good education; (3) to live a life of unselfish service.
Her positive Christian life began with childhood's spiritual awakening and
continued m a thorough and unwavering consecration of her whole being to Christ
and his cause; in reverence for all things sacred, and in an effort to attain the highest
and purest ideals of Christian womanhood for herself, and to live a life of the largest
possil)le service for others. There was never a break in this spirit and purpose,
guietly, unassumingly, but faithfully, she walked on the highway of holiness over
which her Saviour Friend journeyed to the city of God.
Her education took the form of study in the common schools, a course at the
Iri-Mate Normal at Angola, Indiana, several years of successful teaching, and then,
alter her marriage, of a continuous, systematic, and definite home study along lines
ot good home-making and religious activities.

April 19, 1903, she was married to A. D. Burkett. Then followed fifteen and a
half beautiful, happy years with her husband in the ministry in the Rock River
Conference, the Wyoming Mission, and the North Indiana Conference. She be-
came the mother of two sons, Merrill and Luther, who, at the time of her death,
were fourteen and ten years of age, respectively.
Her home life was rich in thoughtful plans and unselfish service. Simplicity,
system, order, cleanliness, hospitality,
the best in literature and music, beauty,
harmony, and religiousness, constant self-
denial for the cause of her Christ were
the things that characterized her home.
Bedtime and rising, study and work and
play were largely regulated by the clock.
She taught her family to aid her in cook-
ing, washing, sweeping, dusting, making
beds, and so taught as that to do these
things was accounted a privilege. And
with her own hands she lalored cheerfully
for her loved ones, caring for her home,
canning the fruits, making the garments,
helping to beautify and fructify garden
and lawn; teaching the boys music and
helping them in their studies, and still
finding time to take an active and ofttimes
a leading part in the various religious, so-
cial, and philanthropic activities of church
and community life, and to visit much,
alike in the homes of the rich and the
poor, the learned and the unlearned, ad-
justing herself with equal felicity to the
tastes and environs of both, and so liv-
ing a life of genuine usefulness and friend-
ship for all.
To her husband, by loving and wise
suggestions; by faith unfailing amid dis-
couragements; by hearty, sympathetic, helpful interest in all the things that make
up a minister's life; by tender care in weeks of illness; she was in all things a help-
meet, worthy to be accounted a gift from God. Between. husband and wife the
most perfect understanding and harmony prevailed. The days and weeks and
months and years were planned together. The money of the proverbially lean
purse of the preacher was to both "free as the water in the well." The ideals and
ambitions of both were one, and together father and mother and boys journeyed,
rejoicing day by day.
Then at the end of nineteen days of what seemed a light form of fever, quite
suddenly and unexpectedly, on the 16th of September, 1918, the busy, happy,
hopeful life of a little over forty years came to a close.
Or, did it come to a close? Such a life will never end. The body will slowly
through decades molder back to dust. But Christian faith in immortality is still
unshaken and now rises into full assurance. "She still lives and is present with us
just as God is present with us." So said one of her sons, with the unerring intuition
of a child. In the memory of her deeds, her teaching, her faith, her ideals, her
words, her ways, and in the power of her immortal, ever-present spirit, she is living
still, and is still beloved.
Mrs. Grace L. Burkett.

MRS. J. C. GRAHAM.
Elva Fisher Graham, the daughter of Stephen J. and Sarah Fisher, was born in
Kosciusko County, Indiana, November 9, 1880, and departed this life at her par-
sonage home in Albion, Indiana, Uctober
29, 1918, at the age of thirty-seven years,
eleven months and twenty days.
She was one of twelve children and
was fortunate in securing a good educa-
tion, having attended high school and
taken advanced Normal training.
She became acquainted with James
Cook Graham, a young schoolmaster, and
this intimate friendship culminated in a
happy marriage January 23, 1903.
In April, 1904, Rev. and Mrs. Graham
began their active work in the ministry of
the Methodist Episcopal Church at Park
Place, Anderson, Indiana, spending two
years in this field; they were then sta-
tioned on Whitley and Daleville charges,
and Fifth Street, Richmond, for a period
of two years at each place, thence moved
to Leesburg for a few years' pastorate,
then to St. Mark's, Goshen, for three years,
and since April, 1917, they have labored
in the Master's work at Albion.
Four children have come into this
home; an infant daughter was given and
taken November 13, 1903. A son, Leslie
Jay, came to the parsonage home in Ander-
son, Indiana, July 6, 1905; the third, a
daughter, Vivian Edith, was born in Mun-
cie, November 21, 1906, and the fourth,
Kenneth Henry, made his advent in the
new home at Albion, April 18, 1917.
Sister Graham naturally possessed a cheerful disposition, a kindly spirit, and a
winning personality. She was a splendid wife and mother for a parsonage home,
diffusing inspiration, encouragement, and creating high ideals for the entire com-
munity life.
A recent personal letter from one of the good women of their former parish
voiced this general sentiment of appreciation: "Your unselfish and kindly dispo-
sition, while you were among us, won the love and esteem of all, and our hearts
beat in unison for you. Our prayers are that we may be able to achieve such a
sublime, trustful spirit as has been manifested in 3'our conversation during these
days of your affliction."
During the past year her suffering was intense at times and a rapid decline was
evident, but she was so happy and hopeful, for Jesus was so near and precious to her.
Sister Graham has toiled and sacrificed for home, friends, and the kingdom of
God. Her character was as pure as crystal and clear as the noonday sun. She has
given to the world an example of the beautiful Christ life, and now she has gone
home to God.
The funeral services, which were private, were held from the parsonage home
on Thur.sday morning. The services were in charge of the Rev. Dr. R. J. Wade,
of lilkhart, who was assisted by other Methodist Episcopal pastors, twenty-one of
whom were at the services. A large company of ladies from Goshen were present
also. Burial took place at the Ulery Cemetery, about four miles from Packerton,

MRS. ADA GLEN LASLIE.
Mrs. Ada Glen Laslie, wife of Reuben T. LasHe, was born April 30, 1875, at Meet-
ing Creek, Hardin County, Kentucky. She departed this life at the Deaconess Hos-
pital, Spokane, Washington, November 20, 1918. Because of the illness of the
children the burial service was not held
until December 15, 1918; the burial was
at Mauckport, Indiana. Services were
conducted at Spokane, Washington, by
Rev. Thos. Lawson, pastor of the Meth-
odist Episcopal Church, November 23.
The services at Mauckport were con-
ducted by Rev. Edwards, of our church,
December 15, 1918.
Sister Laslie was one of the heavy toll
of loved ones claimed by the awful scourge
of influenza during the past year. At the
time of the death of their mother, both
the children of .Sister Laslie were danger-
ously sick with the dreaded disease.
To the time of her final illness this
splendid woman was a loyal support to
her husband in his ministry and in his re-
tirement. She was faithful to the church
and was teacher of a class of boys and
superintendent of the Home Department
in the Sunday school when the end came.
She is survived by her husband,
Reuben T. Laslie, and two children — Mel-
vin H., aged si.xteen, and Pauline E., aged
nine; one child, Linnie E., having died in
1906 in Mauckport, Indiana. There are
also her father, three sisters, and two
brothers living in Kentucky.
These sad hours cannot be spoken of
in terms of joy except as they come in
the lives of the truly faithful. It is with joy that we hold in our memory the loyal
service of this our departed sister.
Her marriage occurred December 28, 1897, and she became a member of the
church a year later. The latter years required the frugal wisdom necessary to
living on the income of a retired preacher. Patiently and successfully she did this
work and now claims her reward.
Mrs. Ada Glen Laslie.
REV. R. H. SMITH.
Rev. Richard H. Smith, eldest son of the Rev. and Mrs. John Wesley Smith,
was born at Pleasant Hill, Montgomery County, Indiana, January 2, 1846, and
died at his home in Alexandria, Indiana, November 22, 1918, aged seventy-two years,
ten months, and twenty days.
He was a grandson of the Rev. William H. Smith, a pioneer Methodist min-
ister of the Northwest Indiana Conference. We find in his diary the following
statement: "Among my earliest remembrances was the changing vicissitudes of
and discomforts incident to the life of a Methodist itinerant minister. I thought
when a boy, of all the callings in a human life, that of a Methodist minister, would
be the last that I should choose. But when the call came, 'Go preach My gospel,'
I conferred no longer with the flesh and blood but obeyed the call."
Brother Smith received the advantages of the schools in his childhood and
youth, and taught school for a while; later he attended the Indiana Asbury Uni-
versity (now DePauw University), at Greencastle, Indiana. While in college he
was converted and felt so sensibly the call to the ministry that he immediately
began his preparation for his lifework, the ministry.
For this preparation he attended the Theological School at Evanston, Illinois,
and had the advantages of the best instructors at that time. He was licensed to
preach by the late N. H. Phillips, presiding elder at Xenia (now Converse), Indiana.

lie was admitted into the North Indiana Conference at Logansport, Indiana,
March 22, 1873, by Bishop Merrill. .. •.,.•• .(.nn
He gave thirty-six years to the active ministry, taking a retired relation in 1909.
He had the happy pleasure of seeing hundreds of people converted under his min-
istry. He was a great student of the
Bible, and few persons gave so much time
daily to the study of its pages as he did.
This was evident to me, for whenever I
called upon him for help, without any
warning for preparation, he responded and
did his work well.
The last time I called upon him to
lead the prayer meeting I saw he was
feeble, but he wanted to do it. When the
time came he said, "I am almost too tired,
but I promised and I must do it." God
bless such men who are ready to do even
though they are tired! May the memory
of this good man ever be fresh in our
minds!
Brother Smith was one of those men
whom you had to know to appreciate him.
The more you became acquainted with
him, the better you loved him. He was
truly a Christian gentleman, a lover of his
Bible and his church. Just as long as he
was able he was regular in attendance.
The last service he attended was the sec-
ond communion service of this year. He
had always assisted the pastor with the
sacrament, but this time, after the ele-
ments had been consecrated, he asked to
be excused as he was not able to assist.
It was a trying time for him, as he had
always taken part in the services. His
strength was then failing and I feared that this would be his last service.
I went to his home often, and he would always say, "I am sorry that I cannot
come to church. It is not because I do not want to come. I would be there if I
could."
His main conversation in the home was the church and often he would ask,
"How are you getting along? I am praying for you." His prayers here upon earth
hath ceased, but his worship in heaven with the Master hath just begun. Our
loss is his gain. "Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord." His faith has tri-
umphed. He could say, if he were here, as the apostle Paul, "I have fought a good
fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up
for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, shall give me
at that day; and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing."
The last call I made on him was on Wednesday evening before he died on
Friday morning-. He was then so cheerful, and felt that he was going to get better.
When I started away he said, "Come again, come soon."
In his last devotion in the home with his good wife, he .said, "Whether I die or
whether I live, I am the Lord's." This was evident of a Christian life, of a life well
lived, of a life well spent in the Master's service.
He answered the call of his country March 1, 1864, and served to the end of the
war. He was a member of Company G, 48th Regiment, Indiana Volunteer In-
fantry. He became a member of the G. A. R. in 1877, during his pastorate at Churu-
busco, Indiana, and served as chaplain, and also at Larwill, Indiana. As there was
no G^. A. R. at Alexandria, Indiana, he became a member of the Williams Post,
No. /8, Muncie, Indiana. He was also a member of the F. and A. M., No. 235;
also of the Chapter, No. 99, and of the Council, No. 85, and of the Eastern Star,
No. 179, of Alexandria, Indiana.
He was twice married; first to Miss Alice M. Humphries, of Fortville, Indiana.

and Ellen Fern, now the wife of Curtis D. Kirklin, of Muncie, Indiana; Mr. Kirklin
is somewhere in France.
Mrs. Smith dies in 1902, during his second pastorate at New Burlington, Indiana.
On October 24, 1906, he was united in marriage to Miss Anna E. Kershner, at Fort-
ville, Indiana, of Ansonia, Ohio.
Brother Smith is survived by his wife, Mrs. Anna E. Smith, of Alexandria,
Indiana; Mrs. Will W. Brown, of Newcastle, Indiana; Wilbur Vaughn Smith, ci

Mrs. Eleanor Woodruff, of Ligonier, Indiana; two brothers, Watson D. Smith, of

"I would not live alway, I ask not to stay
Where storm after storm rises dark o'er the way;
The few lurid mornings that dawn on us here
Are enough for life's woes, full enough for its cheer."
Funeral services were held November 25, 1918, from the First Methodist
Episcopal Church, Alexandria, Indiana, in charge of his pastor, the Rev. E. C. Dunn,
assisted by Dr. J. A. Beatty, district superintendent; D. V. Williams, J. J. Fred,

Is On the Sparrow." The burial took place in the beautiful Beach Grove Cemetery
at Muncie, Indiana. E. C. Dunn, Pastor.
FRANKLIN PIERCE JOHNSON.
Franklin Pierce Johnson was born in Kosciusko County, Indiana, near the city
of Warsaw, on October 26, 1879. He passed to the home beyond February 27,
1919, at Churubusco, Indiana. The epi-
demic of influenza claimed him as one of
its victims, after a brief illness.
At an early age he was converted and
became a member of the church, and in
young manhood felt an unmistakable call
to the ministry. After completing his
public-school education he pursued his
collegiate studies at Taylor University,
from which institution he was gradu-
ated with honors. Being admitted to the
North Indiana Conference in 1905, he
served the following charges: Oak Grove
Circuit, W'oodburn, Hudson, Hoagland,
Coesse, Center, and Churubusco Circuit.
He was finishing up his third year as pas-
tor of the latter circuit when he was trans-
lated. Throughout his effective ministry
the Lord blessed his work with many
gracious revivals. As a preacher he was
clear in thought, forceful in delivery, and
spiritual in tone. Not only was Brother
Johnson an able minister of Jesus Christ,
but he was also a man of high literary
tastes and talents, being the author of a
number of short stories, which were pub-
lished in magazines. The most pretentious
product of his pen was a religious novel
or romance, "To Him That Overcometh,"
which was published in book form and
enjoyed considerable circulation.
Because of a nervous breakdown he held supernumerary relations with the Con-
ference in 1915, and was never again able to take heavy pastoral work because of
ill health.
Rev. Franklin Pierce Johnson.

North Indiana Conference [1919
lirother Johnson is survived by his wife, Ella Gutshall; one daughter, Agnes
Irene and his |)arenls, Frederick and Elizabeth May Johnson. Funeral services
were 'held in the Churubusco Methodist Episcopal Church, under the direction of
Rev R 11 Wehrly, pastor. Funeral addresses were delivered by Rev. A. G. Neal,
of First Methodist Episcopal Church, Ft. Wayne, and Rev. Thomas J. Bean, of
Columbia City. The burial was in Winter's Cemetery, near Dunkirk, Indiana.
We close this brief tribute by quoting a verse from his favorite hymn, a part of which
he repeated to those at his bedside just before he passed into eternity:
"My faith looks up to thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
Be wholly thine!"

"IN EVERLASTING REMEMBRANCE"
More Enduring than Marble or Granite to Perpetuate the Memory of
Baby, Daughter or Son, Sister or Brother, Wife or Husband,
Mother or Father, beloved Pastor or Bishop
is a gift to establish a Memorial Fund. Such a fund will Perpetuate Forever the
Name of the one in whose memory it is established. After granite monuments are
tallen and forgotten this fund will continue its blessed work.

LIFE, ANNUITY BONDS PAYING AN INCOME FOR LIFE
The Best Investment to-day is a Life Annuity Bond. Because it is a perfectly
safe iincstnicnt; because it is not taxable; because the older the person is the larger
is the annuity paid on it; because the annuity is paid quarterly, semi-annually, or
annually, as the annuitant wishes; because an Annuity Bond may be purchased for
any amount, no matter how large or small; because Annuity Bonds may be bought
for the benefit of yourself, your husband, your children, your relatives, or your
friends. There can be nothing better for a Birthday, a Wedding, or a Christmas
gift than an Annuity Bond of the Preachers' Aid Society of the North Indiana
Conference.

(d) LAYMEN'S ASSOCIATION.
Peru, Indiana, April 4, 1919.
The Laymen's Association of the North Indiana Conference met in its eighth
annual session in the First Christian Church at nine o'clock A. M.
The meeting was called t.o order by its President, E. Starbuck.
The devotionals were in charge of H. L. Burr, and the singing was led by Bro.
G. E. Meek.
Following the devotionals, the chair appointed two committees, as follows, with
instructions to report at the session of Saturday morning, the 5th:
Committee on Resolutions — A. B. Cline, Ft. Wayne District; F. W. Greene,
Goshen District; Charles Hodgin, Logansport District; S. T. Waite, Muncie Dis-
trict; H. L. Burr, Richmond District; O. W. Outland, Wabash District.
Committee on Nominations — J. D. Coppes, Goshen District; E. E. Youse,
Wabash District; G. E. Meek, Logansport District.
Upon request of the chair, Bro. Vahinger, President of Taylor University,
spoke enthusiastically of the work accomplished in a spiritual way by the university.
Prof. J. W. Kendall, of Peru, Indiana, gave an address of welcome in a fifteen-
minute talk. He feelingly extended the hand of fellowship to the Laymen of the
Conference in behalf of Peru.
Bro. H. L. Burr, of Newcastle, in a few well-chosen words responded to the
address of welcome.
A few minutes of time being available before the next number on the program
as arranged, the chairman called on Bro. A. B. Cline, of Bluffton, for a ten-minute
talk. He spoke impressively of the importance of the spiritual interest that must
be taken by the Laymen.
The chair at this time introduced to the Conference Bro. Phillippi, of the
Illinois Conference, and Bro. Smith, of Chicago.
Mrs. Nicholson, wife of our beloved Bishop, was then introduced. She spoke
for a period of thirty-five minutes, mentioning the work accomplished and aid
extended to the needy ones in the district in Chicago surrounding Marcy Center;
spoke briefly on missionary work needed in Japan, and dwelt chiefly on the work
being done at Gary, at Friendship House, established and conducted by Mrs.
Campbell under difficulties. Her plea was indeed earnest, and following her address
a collection of $42.47 was taken in behalf of Friendship House.
Bro. C. H. Neff, of Anderson, gave a talk of twenty minutes on "Stewardship
of Life," a talk that was instructive and very inspiring.
J. D. Coppes spoke on "Stewardship of Prayer." Himself imbued with the
spirit of his subject, the audience was much impressed with his talk.
Bro. J. W. Gardiner, President of the Northwest Indiana Conference Laymen's
Association, was introduced to the Conference.
Rev. Roy B. Smith, of St. Paul's Church, Chicago, gave a forty-minute ad-
dress. His talk was one of the interesting numbers on the program, full of pointed
epigrams, and exemplified the direct application of Christianity to the world's needs,
centering largely to the accomplishments in his pastorate.
The chairman expressed the need of funds to take care of expenses incurred,
and a collection of $14.43 was secured. Adjournment was taken until 1.30 P. M.
1919] Laymen's Association 553
Afternoon Session.
The afternoon session opened at 1.30, with Bro. J. W. Gardiner, of Reynolds,
Indiana, in charge of the devotionals, and G. E. Meek, the singing. Bro. Gardiner
read excerpts from the Old and New Scriptures, with a few words of exposition, and
led in prayer.
The chair presented Bro. A. B. Cline, who is President of the Conference
Minute Men's Council, as presiding officer of the afternoon session. He com-
mented on the splendid program of the morning and its allusion to the practical life.
Bro. Jesse McKinney, of Dunkirk, gave an address on "Stewardship of Prop-
erty." He emphasized God's ownership in an earnest appeal.
Prof. E. J. Llewelyn, of Newcastle, delivered a twenty-minute address on
"The Church Back of It All." He pointed out the lack of prayer for the church
and gave a survey of the needs of the church for the future.
Bro. John W. Perry, of Chicago, Area Secretary of the Minute Men, in a few
minutes' talk spoke of the need of the Centenary and its challenge to the church.
Bro. Alonzo E. Wilson, of the Rock River Conference, Illinois, national rep-
resentative of the Centenary, gave a short address.
Dr. Fred B. Fisher was called upon by the chair for an address. His presen-
tation of his experiences and his thoughts in relation to the missions of the Orient
were inspiring. He indicated that the success of the Christian faith must be accom-
plished by the individual solicitation.
As the collection of the morning session was not sufficient to meet all the ex-
penses, the chair solicited another, at which $10.75 was received.
Adjournment was taken until Saturday morning at 9 o'clock.
Saturday Morning Session.
The session opened Saturday morning at 9 o'clock. Bro. Deems, of BlufTton,
presided at devotionals. He read as a Scripture lesson the twelfth chapter of Ro-
mans. Bro. A. B. Cline offered prayer.
Bro. John Perry spoke a few minutes on the work of the Conference Minute
Men. He explained the difficulty of furnishing literature to the Minute Men because
of the fast increasing number.
The chairman called attention to the fact that music had played a small part
in the program of the convention because the time had been filled so well with
noteworthy features by the speakers. He called upon Bro. Deems to sing a solo.
Bro. Deems sang "Jesus Included Me." Mrs. R. J. Wade accompanied upon
the piano.
Judge Bowser, of the Circuit Court at Warsaw, gave a five minutes' talk on
the Centenary.
The chair then called for the report of the Committee on Nominations. The
committee reported the following names, which were unanimously elected:
President — E. Starbuck, Ft. Waj'ne.
Vice-President — D. O. Skillen, Yorktown.

Committee.
The Committee on Resolutions presented the following resolutions, which were
adopted :
"The following resolutions are presented for your consideration:
"1. We praise God for the Centenary. It has been the means under God of
rousing our people to a more active participation in Christian work and duties, and
has caused us to rise to an advanced standard of Christian living.
"We believe God has blessed the Methodist Episcopal Church in times past
that it might come to the Kingdom for such an hour as this, and we urge upon
both our pastors and people to continue the movement now under way, especially
the Stewardship of Prayer, Life, and Property. And we pledge our best efforts to
554 North Indiana Conference [1919
this work until the name of Methodist shall be synonymous with that of the highest
type of Christian citizenship.
"2 Whereas, There are negotiations pending between Taylor University
and the North Indiana Annual Conference for the transfer of the university to said
Conference for ownership and management; be it
"Resolved, We therefore indorse the plan for the transfer; and be it further
"Resolved, We endorse such plans for its material support as the Conference
may deem advisable.
"3. Whereas, The laity of the Conference are vitally interested in the business
of the Conference as transacted in its annual sessions; be it
"Resolved, That in succeeding meetings of the Laymen's Conventions the pro-
grams be so arranged that the joint sessions with the Annual Conference may include
at least one of the strictly business sessions of the Conference.
"4. Because of the love and veneration which we hold for our fathers in Isarel,
the retired ministers of the North Indiana Conference, the admiration and loyalty
which we feel for the men who are doing the work of the ministry to-day, and the
expectancy and desire which we have for the red-blooded youth who will enter our
glorious ministry, we most heartily and enthusiastically endorse the One Million
Dollar Campaign for Conference Claimants now being prosecuted in our Conference
by the Preachers' Aid Society. We most earnestly commend the fund as a funda-
mental provision for the future stability and success of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in our great North Indiana Conference territory.
"We further express our gratification and satisfaction that the total assets of
the Society have passed four hundred thousand dollars, and hope that the total
goal of one million dollars will be reached in the near future. Therefore,
"Resolved, That we pledge our earnest co-operation in the program and work
of the Preachers' Aid Society, and recommend that the same be unremittingl\'
prosecuted through the remaining four districts of our Conference as it has been in
the Goshen and Ft. Wayne Districts.
"5. We rejoice in the ratification of the constitutional amendment giving the
United States national prohibition, and pledge ourselves to support for public
office in State and nation candidates to favor legislation which will make the amend-
ment rigidly effective.
"We believe this is the opportune time for carrying the campaign for prohibi-
tion into the nations of the world.
"6. Whereas, The session of the Laymen's Association of the North Indiana
Conference has been the largest and most helpful ever held, and which is entirely
due to the intense interest that is being taken by the laymen in the new and larger
activities of the church;
"Whereas, Our beloved President, E. Starbuck, has borne the burden and the
heat of the day in arranging for this great convention, we feel we would be leaving
a duty undone not to express our thanks and hearty appreciation to him for his
labors; therefore be it
"Resolved, That this Association feels its debt of love and affection for him and
his work in our behalf, and hope his association with us will last for years to come.
"7. Be is further Resolved, That the Laymen's Association extend its thanks to
Mrs. Nicholson, the wife of our beloved Bishop, and Brothers Smith and Perry of
Chicago, and Dr. Fred B. Fisher, and our own splendid laymen whose addresses
were so inspiring and helpful;
"8. And Resolved, further. That the Association greatly appreciates the kind-
ness of the Christian Church, pastor, and people, for the use of its house of worship
for our sessions. "Respectfully submitted,

1919] Laymen's Association 555
Bro. A. Nowland, of Frankfort, spoke enthusiastically on a phase of the Cen-
tenary.
Bro. C. H. Floyd, of Moran, told of creating interest in his congregation by
presenting a number of subscriptions to the World's Outlook to members.
H. L. Burr spoke on the necessity of a plan of education in the Sunday schools
to facilitate the success of the Centenary.
F. M. Schroeder, of Larwill, suggested the way to educate a Sunday school in
the Centenary plan was for someone first to be alive and active himself to start it.
J. W. Stockhouse, Etna Green, briefly stated that if the Centenary education
was first brought up in the charge, to raise the sum of money needed would then be
an easy task.
The business session was adjourned at 10.20 and the Association retired to
meet in joint session at 10.30 with the Annual Conference at the First Methodist
Church, with Bishop Nicholson presiding. Minutes of the joint session were kept
by the Conference Secretary, and are part of the Conference Minutes.

APPOINTMENT RECORD
The following Record is a continuation of that in the L. W. Monson Manual, and is corrected to
April 1, 1919, including the changes made during the year as reported by the District Superintendents
to the Secretary. An effort is made to condense as much as possible by using abbreviations easily
understood. The figures "18" and "19" are omitted from the years given, as all the appoint-
ments are in these two centuries. In some instances no record is made of the services in other
Conferences because of the lack of data.
Abbreviations. — Loc, Located; Miss., Missionary; S., in School; Sn., Superannuated; Sy.
Supernumerary; Sup., Supply; R., Retired; Tr., Transferred. SECRETARY.
Explanatory. — To find the length of a pastorate on a charge from the following record it will
be necessary to take into account BOTH the FIRST and LAST years of appointment, 02-6 means
five years of service on that charge
