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

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

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

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

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

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

Wheras there are about twenty charges that have re-
ported nothing for church extension, and whereas a large
number have reported only a nominal sum, it is therefore the
mature conviction of this board that church extension does
not receive the attention at the hands of many of the pas-
tors that its importance demands. In view of disseminating
intelligence and creating enthusiasm on this subject we recom-
mend for your adoption the following :
1st. That a semi-annual session be held during the en-
suing year at such time and place as the president may select.
2nd. That the executive committee procure the services
of some one to bring the subject prominently, before each
district conference. R. A. Owen,

District Conference Records.
Your committe on district conference records beg leave
to submit the following report :
Jeffersonville district.— Minutes of the first session of the
conference show no adjournment. Minutes of the fourth
session show no approval of the minutes of the preceeding
session. Minutes of the sixth session insert a resolution of
thanks after adjournment, instead of before. As a whole
these minutes are not recorded with care, and contain too
manv abbreviations. The reports of committees are written
in a different hand, and the work is neatly done.
i
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
Wythe ville district. — The recording secretary pays very
little attention to marks of punctuation. He is also rather
disrespectful to the proprieties of orthography. For exam-
ple, in "net gain," he writes, with 'a flourish, "n-e-t-t," and
the word "declared" is given an "i" to see its own super-
fluity.
Jonesboro district. — The minutes show a profligate use
of space and paper, the doings of one session alone being
spread over seven pages, whereas two would have been am-
ply sufficient. In one place it is deelared that the "chairman
addrcs the conference." In another place it is stated that
the "conference opened with same officer in the chair." In
still another, "the minutes of the previous session was read
and approved." The recording secretary seems independent
of the family of punctuation points, and not unfrequently
collides his sentences with a force that produces a confusing
mixture of verboseness. In one place it is solemnly affirmed
that an election "was gone into Bluff City and Limestone."
Morristown district. — Minutes neatly kept, though writ-
ten too hurriedly. Occasionally a misspelled word.
Knoxville and Chattanooga districts. — No criticism.
Sequachee district. — Minutes recorded in different shades
of ink, by different persons, and written rather hurriedly.
Abingdon district. — Through the tardiness of the record-
ing secretaries, this record did not properly come before the
committee, but was examined by one member thereof at the
eleventh hour. The minutes show a grevious lack of punct-
uation, and a carelessness of style, which .might easily
have been avoided. The record of the third session shows
no approval of the record of the preceeding session. The re-
cord as a whole is written by different persons.
Marion district record was not before the committee.

APPENDIX O.
Report on Bible Cause.
We deem it needless to speak of the great importance of
putting the Bible in all homes, and in the hands of all peo-
ple. The Bible is acknowledged by all classes of people who
know anything of its teachings to contain the best code of
laws and the best system of morals that has ever been pre-
sented to the world. It is the onlv book we have from God.
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL. 49
By its light we are guided into the only way that leads to
eternal life. We realize the importance of having a copy of
the Holy Scriptures in the hands of every lost son and daugh-
ter of the human race. For the wide circulation that the
written word has alread\r received we are indebted chiefly to
the American Bible Society. This great institution is doing
for the world a work of vast magnitude and of infinite value.
The late statistics show that in the course of eight years in
visiting more than 6,000,000 homes no less than 757,851
families were found to be without a copy of the Bible, in the
United States. During the last fiscal year 81,500 families
and individuals found destitute of the Scriptures were sup-
plied. It sent out last year one and a half million copies.
One million copies to conserve the good of the country and
one half million copies into foreign fields. The American mis-
sionaries abroad are mainly dependent upon the society for
.the Scriptures. Perhaps the churches in this country do not
properly realize the obligations they are under to the Ameri-
can Bible Society. We as Methodists share in its benevolence.
Four times in the course of twenty years it has made grants
to our Publishing House in Nashville. Very recenth- an ap-
plication was made by our missionary in Mexican Border
Mission, Miss Holden, to the society for 100 copies of the
Spanish Bible which was granted. This is merely an indica-
tion of what it is doing for us: A Bible in the hands of
every child that can read, with particular reference to Sunday-
School use, is now its great aim. Therefore, be it
Resolved, 1st. That we are in hearty sympathy with
the American Bible Society, commend its noble work arid will
co-operate with its agencies in the endeavor to put as far as
practicable in the hands of all classes of people and especially
the children a copy of the Holy Scriptures.
2nd. That we will urge upon the superintendents and
teachers in our Sabbath Schools the importance of taking at
once such steps as will put a copy of the Bible in the hands
of every member of the schools with which they are respect-
ivelv connected. Respectfully submitted ,
P. P. Kinzer, Chairman.

Report on Temperance.
We regard strong drink as the greatest foe of our Chris-

the bitter foe of intemperance in all its forms. We hold our-
selves ready to co-operate with the patriot, philanthropist
and the Christian in every lawful way to overthrow the de-
mon of drink unto his utter extermination. We regard the
Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ as the chief conserver of moral
forces and promoter of moral reforms. In this faith we will
labor to preserve it from all compromising and entangling re-
lations, and make it our one work to faithfully preach it to
the people. Respectfully submitted,

Report of the Committee on Memoirs.
Resolved, That the conference extend to our bereaved
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 5]
Brother, D. S. Hearon, our heart-felt sympathy in the death
of his most excellent wife. H. C. Neal,
For the Committee.
Rev. Samuel Dalton Gaines.
Brother Gaines was born in Sullivan count3T, Tenn.,Oct
19, 1811, and died Nov., 20, 1889. He was the son of Am-
brose and Mary Gains. His father was a pioneer settler in
Sullivan county, where he lived till the day of his death. His
mother, whose maiden name was Moore, was a sister of
Governor Moore, of Alabama. Brother Gaines was con-
verted and joined the Methodist church, at a camp meeting
in his native county, in 1829. He was married Sept. , 1, 1831,
to Miss Sarah E. Gaines, who was a niece of Gen. Edmond
P. Gaines, of New Orleans. This wife of his youth was a cul-
tivated, christian woman, and they walked the pathway of
life pleas antly and peacefully together for nearly forty-seven
years, when she fell asleep in Jesus and went before him to
the Heaven of theij? hopes.
Brother Gaines was an active useful member of the church ,
serving as a class-leader and steward till he was licensed to
preach in 1843. He served the church faithfully for several
years as a local preacher, and also continued to serve as
steward and class leader. He was ordained deacon and then
elder as a local preacher, having served the requisite time in
each case. He was received on trial into the Holston Con-
ference, and appointed to the Estill ville circuit (date not
known). During the year he met with a serious misfortune
in the burning of his house, and was compelled to ask a dis-
continuance at its close.
In 1857, at the session of the Holston Conference, held at
Marion, Va., by Bishop Early, he was again received on trial,
being recommended by the quarterly conference of Kingsport
circuit. At this conference he was appointed to the Taylors-
ville circuit. In 1858 to Kingsport circtiit, and in 1859 he
was admitted into full connection and re-appointed to Kings-
port circuit. In 1860 to Rogersville circuit and colored mis-
sion, in 1861 and '62 to Blountville circuit, and .in 1863 to
Bristol circuit. In 1864 he was placed on the supernumer-
ary list and assigned to Blountville circuit. In 1865 he lo-
cated.
In 1866 he was re-admitted and appointed to the New-
bern circuit, where he remained two yeers. In 1868 and '69
to the Marion circuit, and in 1870 to the Wytheville circuit.
In 1871 he was transferred to the Arkansas Conference and
appointed to the Fayettsville circuit. In 1872 he was trans-
ferred to the Kentucky Conference and appointed to the
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL.
Verona circuit in that conference. In 1874 he was re-trans-
ferred to Holston Conference. From this conference he was
appointed to Saltville circuit. In 1875 to Elk Creek circuit,
in 1876 to Athens circuit, and in 1877 he was placed on the
superannuated list, where he remained till the Lord called
him home.
Brother Gaines' early life was spent on the farm in the
beautiful Holston Valley. He was a rollicking, happy boy,
and a cheerful, pleasant young man. He married young, but
was fortunate in getting a woman of strong character and
lovely disposition, and every way fitted to be the compan-
ion of one who was to have so prominet a place in the work
and achievements of the church. He was raised in what was
then a home of affluence, and had the best advantages of
early training which the section afforded, but these were
very meager.
His religious character was of the early Methodist type.
He was converted at a campmeeting amid the profoundest
excitement. His conviction was pungent. The burden of
his sins pressed heavily upon him, and his soul was en-
shrouded in darkness. His conversion was clear as a sun-
beam. The burden was removed and the gloom was disi-
pated, and he rejoiced in conscious pardon and peace. This
was the event of his life and, more than anything else, gave
coloring to his character, and direction to his life.
He had a vigorous mind in which the analytical and im-
aginative were happily blended. With thorough early train-
ing he would have been a giant. As it was his sermons were
not perfect according to the standard of the schools. They
wer^ full of thought, information and religion. They
were orthodox and evangelical. They grew out of his ex-
perience as he tested it by the Word of God. There was al-
ways the eloquence of profound conviction. There was a
glow of religious fervor lightning up all his discourses which
moved the heart of his hearers. He had the happy gift of
exhortation, and, now and then, his soul all on fire of love
and hope, his eloquence was well nigh irresistible. He was a
hue type of the old fashioned Methodist preacher, which, un-
fortuaatelv, is becoming more and more rare in this age.
He was eminently successful on a circuit. Thousands
were converted to God under his ministry. On the Elk Creek
circuit, which he traveled at the age of sixty-five, there was
a continues revival. Six hundred were converted and five
hundred added to the church. The last religious service he
attended was a class-meeting at Main Street Methodist
Church, Bristol, Tenn. He conducted the meeting. The
Spirit of the Lord came upon them . His soul caught fire, and
he went through the congregation shouting the praise of
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL. 58
God, and exulting in the hope of Heaven, which he was so
soon to realize.
After he was superannuated, Brother Gaines was not idle.
He went among the churches and preached as he wes able.
He spent part of his time canvassing for the American Bible
Societj^. During the last years, he made his headquarters at
the home of his nephew, Dr. M. M. Butler, of Bristol, Tenn.
In this Christian home he received all the kindness and at-
tention that the tenderest sj^mpathy and affection could sug-
gest. Amid the reverses and disappointments of his latter
years, his faith in God never failed him. He died at the home
of Prof. L. H. Copenhaver, near Bristol, whither he had
gone to sta\r awhile, as was his custom. The family showed
him every possible attention and kindness. His pastor
visited him in his last hours and found him happy in the love
of God. "Tell my brethren of the conference," said he, "that
my faith in God is firmly fixed, rooted and grounded in love."
He was buried in Bristol cemetery by the Masons, of which
brotherhood he was a member. Funeral services were held
in the Main Street Methodist Church, conducted by the pas-
tor, assisted by Prof. Hearon, of Maitha Washington Col-
lege. A very large concourse of people attended his funeral,
showing how highry he is esteemed by those who have known
him longest and best. Respectfully,
Rev. Frank Richardson.
Rev. Samuel R. Wheeler.
Samuel R.. Wheeler was born in Grayson— now Carroll-
county, Va., Nov. 17, 1816. At the age of sixteen he was
converted. His conversion was clear and powerful. At a
comparatively early age he was licensed to preach and for,
probably, twenty years was an amicable local preacher. He,
during this time Vmissionary employed as a supply and was
very efficient at Mechanicsburg and Marion. He joined the
Holston Conference at Greeneville Tenn., in 1861, being then
forty-five 3-ears old. We have not the date to enable us to
give" the charges he served in consecutive order. But he vyas
an efficient pastor on the Seddon, Grayson, Blountville,
Lenoirs, Staffordsville and other circuits. He was appointed
to the presiding eldership at the conference held in Marion,
Va., in 1873, and travelled the Sequachee district for four
vears. In 1877 he was appointed to the Athens district
where he remained two years. After this he continued m
charge of circuits until 1885 when he reluctantly yielded to
the conviction that he was a superannuated man and asked
for this relation.
Brother Wheeler was an excellent theologian, the Bible,
54 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
Wesley's sermons and Watson's itstitute's were his text books .
With these he was more than ordinarily familiar. He was a
strong preacher, mighty in the Scriptures. He won souls to
Christ, by enforcing the truth and appealing to the heart
through the intellect. He was loyal to Christ and his church,
and when the end came he was ready. On Wednesday before
his death he requested his wife to read the 14th chapter of
St. John's Gospel. He enjoyed it. Personally he was indif-
ferent as to whether he lived or died, but for the sake of those
who loved him and whom he loved he desired, if it was the
of God that he might remain with them. We believe
that our brother has entered the heavenly rest.
Brother Wheeler was twice married, the first wife whose
maiden name was Jones, died in peace several years ago.
When a few years elapsed he married Miss Ransberger, of
West Ya., who cow mourns his loss. He leaves only two
Iren, Rev. Y. W. Wheeler of the*Baltimore Conference and
Mrs. Suss el! of Sweetwater, Tenn.
We tender to all his' loved ones our sympathies and
prayers.
Rev. D. C. Home.
Rev. Dayton C. Home was bora in Wise county, Ya.,
18th, 1857, and departed this life at Rockwood, Tenn.,
June, 3rd, 1890.
At about the age of twenty-two-, he was converted to
God and joined the M. E. Church, South.
Some time during the year 1884 he was licensed to preach
and in Oct. 1885 lie was admitted on trial into the Holston
Annual Conference at Cleveland, Tenn.
His two years of trial in the conference were spent on the
sy Cove circuit. Here his ministry was honored and
many are they who will rise up to call him blessed.
• At the beginning of his third year, he was sent to the
Kingston circuit, but soon after conference was removed to
Hill City. Having faithfully served this charge during the
year, he was then sent to Cooper's, West, Ya., where he
continued to work the remaining year and a. half of his life.
Brother Home, was a young man of studious habits.
He stood his examinations regularly and at the end of two
years was admitted into full connection and ordained deacon
by Bishop H. N. McTyeire, at Abingdon, Ya.
At the end of another two years he was. ordained elder
at Morristown, Tenn., by Bishop A. W. Wilson.
Our deceased brother was most assuredly a man of rare
excellence and in him was a most beautiful spirit.
At the beginning of the year 1890, we read in his diary
THE HOLSTOX ANNUAL.
something like this: "To-day I start out afresh to do the
will of God. To-day I lay myself afresh upon his alter." On
through this little volume the same spirit is mani-
fested .
His one business in this life was to preach the Gospel of
the Son of God. To this he devoted himself in prayerful
study.
It will he a source of inspiration to any young man to
look into his book of sermons, so carefully prepared, so neat
and so beautifully written.
The universal verdict of those who knew Brother Home
is that he was a young man of unwavering faith and sterling
piety. During his entire sickness his mind was clear and his
experience rich and full. His heart was in the work of the
church and of this he spoke, and for the prosperity of Zion
he prayed. We have great reason to bless God for the life of
such a man as D. C. Hor.
In his life God was with him and we believe that now he
walks the streets of New Jerusalem.
Rev, George W. Renfro.
Brother Renfro was born in Cumberland county, Tenn.,
Aug. 15th, 1823. Here 'our friend grew up, in constant com-
munion with nature in the changing moods and phases which
she assumes in such a section, and with a very limited o]
tunity for education.
In 1841. he joined the M. E. Church on probation, and
Sept. 13th, 1843, "embraced religion." You will notice that
he fixes the date of his conversion accurately, and speaks
with perfect confidence of the fact. Such was the cv.
among Methodists of that age. Conversion was a sen
change and resulted in a robust pietjr, which was sufficient
for the hardships and battle demanded of those who espoused
the cause of Christ. Methodists theii were a "peculiar peo-
ple," and made ho compromise with the world.
October 2nd, 1847, he was licensed to preach and recom-
mended for admission into the traveling connection. The
same vear he was admitted at the session of the Ho]
Conference held at Jonesboro, Tenn., he was appointed ju
preacher on Claiborne circuit. In 1848 Brother Renfro was
again appointed junior, this time on Madisonville circuit, in
1849 he was admitted into full connection and ordained < ba-
con, and placed in charge of Benton circuit. In 1 850 he was
sent to Newbern circuit in Virginia. During this year he
married, and, in 1851, was sent to Ashevilie Circuit
Carolina. During this year he was prostrated, first with
measles and then with inflammatory rheumatism. From
56 THE HOLSTON ANNUAL.
this affliction lie never fully recovered . In 1853 he was placed
on the superannuated list. In 1856, having partially recovered
his health, he was appointed to the Decatur circuit. In the
latter part of the year he was taken with typhoid fever, which
confined him to his bed for two months. His presiding elder,
having heard that he was dead so reported him when the an-
nual conference met. The brethren were agreeably surprised,
however, before conference adjourned by receiving a report of
his years' work, and the intelligence that he was still living.
This year, 1857, he was appointed supernumerary on the
Decatur circuit. In 1858, he was made effective and appointed
to Washington circuit. Before the year closed his health
failed again, and J. T. Curtis was placed in charge of his cir-
cuit. His health proved to be so precarious he despaired of
ever being able to do effective work, and, when the conference
met again, asked for and obtained a location.
In 1862, the subject of our sketch was commissioned
Chaplain of the Sixty-second Regiment of Tennessee Volun-
teers in the Confederate Army. In this capacity he served for
two and one-half years, following the fortunes and sharing
the hardships of his regiment.
In 1872, he was re-admitted into the Holston Conference
at Chattanooga, and appointed to Kingston circuit. In 1873,
to Crossville and Bonair. In 1874, supernumerary. In 1875,
to Washington circuit, and then supernumerary again. In
1879, he was appointed presiding elder of Pikeville district,
which he traveled three years.
For little less than a half century Brother Renfro was
connected with the conference in one relation or another. In
all his relations he was the same sober, sedate, prudent man.
He had a strong well rounded intellect, of the doctrinal
cast. He was master of Methodist dogmatic theology. He
was well posted in Wesley and Watson. He handled himself
well in the pulpit ; and his address was pleasing to the eye
and ear. He appealed more to the understanding than to the
emotional nature. He was an honest man by nature, and his
character in this respect, had developed by piety and by habit.
He was cautious about contracting debts and conscientious
about discharging them.
He had an unwavering faith in God. His character was
far removed from ambition and ostentation. Born and
reared amid the spurs of Cumberland mountain, he never
consented to get far away from them, and in his declining
years he situated himself among the foot-hills of this grand
plateau, to gaze upon its weird beauties, and to lave his
brow in the pure breezes that sweep down from its heights.
Here he gave his last days to meditation, prayer and
THE HOLSTON ANNUAL
joyful anticipation of a higher and holier life upon the delec-
table hills of God.
Some days before his departure he said to his pastor, j,,
have had leisure to stud}r my case carefully, and am satisfied
that there is nothing in my way . ' ' He gave minute directions
to his family as to his funeral, then gaA^e them his last exhor-
tation to live in the faith which so well supported him, gave
them his last blessing, and on the 14th of October he peace-
fully fell asleep in the arms of the Redeemer.
On the 15th of October, 1889, his body was laid to rest
amid the tears of a large concourse of his friends and neigh-
bors.
