After organizing, your Board received the following state­ment from the retiring Board; Amount collected during 1895, $113.24; amount expended during the same period . 135.26.

We are gratified to learn that a majority of our Sunday Schools contributed to the special collection assessed for mis­~ions, many of them reporting collections in full. ·

We regret that "Childrens' Day" was observed by so few ,;;cbools during the past year. The church can no more afford to lose the impetus of that day of Gxhileration than the body can lose the use of its arms. Its paralysis from overwork would be more commendable than death from want of cx:erciRc.

Our literature of every grade is adequate to the demands of our Snnday School interests, and those of the age in which we live. If we have outstripped all competitors in this interest, or the stadium, a bait now in this work would be a shame to \18.

We take courage from the vantage.ground of the past and

the present, and suggest that all our schools observe 11 Chil­<frens' Day."·

These ideal successes may be prophecy-may they soon be­come realities: 1. Every church and Sunday Scho'll using our own literature, including ·"Cbildrcns' Day" programmes. 2. Every child in every charge in our own Sunday Schools. 3. Every school organized into a missionary society. 4. Every pa8tor, superintendent and other workers earnestly laboring to make our hopes a realizat10n. · For the Board. G. D. TuRNBR,

HEPORT OF THE CO:MMITT.EE ON BOOKS AND PE­HIODICALS.

It was Solomon who Haid, "of making many books there is no md." But all the bookR in the world in the time of Solo­mon would hardly equal the numbers of books and papers publirihed in a single day by tho modern press. 'l'he angel who was revealing the futnre to Daniel, told him "to seal the book he was writing till the time of the end, when _many llhould run to and fro, and knowle•1ge i;hould be increased." J uhn had a still clearer vision of book-making and the rapid spread of knowleclge that was to come, when he 8aw a mighty :i.ngel come down from Heaven, t1lothet1 with a cloud, and a rainl1ow upon his he>ad, and his face as if it were the sun, and hi~ feet as a pillnr of £re, ancl in his hancl a little book open." 'l'hi8 angel while rlaiming nnivrr;:al dominion of the ea.rth •• lifted up liis hand and swore hy Him that liveth forever that thPre should be no longer 1lelay in the coming of knowledge and this running to nncl fro. Thr modern printing press and the facilities in the world for rapid tran portation are am!Jly fulfilling all that the prophets foretold of these mighty agen. cies. The first book printed by movable type was the Bible. While the Turk was battling down the walls of Constantino· ple for his entrance into Europe, and was using the sword to smite· the idols of Christendom, a mightier force than the

40 FLORIDA .A.NNU.A.L CONFERENCE.

sword of Islam was being unsheathed, "the sword of the spirit, the word of God that proceedeth out of His mouth." While the printing press leaped to its mis;,;ion to carry God's message of love to the nations, Satan was not slow to set in motion a counter movement and use the press for pµrposes of evil. Today one of the devil's mightiest agencies for evil is a misguided, subsidized secular press. The evil is growing day by day, and corrupting liternture is going every where, to tempt to evil, to suggest the wrong, and to show the most ef­fective way fOl' executing the will of the devil to the ruin of men.

Unless the ehurch bravely meets this counter movement for evil, and works as faithfully, as the devotees of mammon and the servants of Satan are working, the world will soon be so sown with tares that there will be no room in its fields for the wheat. ·we have good books but they are not re..id as they should be. We have good papers, but we are slow in pntting them into the bends of our people. We have need to bestir ourselves as never before to even keep pace with the agentH of evil.

Our central organ, the N ashyille Advocate, has fallen off in circulation. Its circulation should be doubled, and a copy ought to be in the hands of every official member of the ehm·ch to enlarge his vision of christiauity and to better guide him in administering the affairs of the church. \Ve pledge ourselves to help our colporteur ancl the publishing house in· the distribution of worthy hooks, aud the .Amcric~n · Bible Society in the distribution of God's word. The Quarterly Review ought to be read by every Methodist preaeher. The Epworth Ern ought to be a trumpet-blast, awakening every young man and maiden in the church to Christ's call for the conquest of this world. We should see to it that our own ·Florida Christian Advocate is put into the hands of every Methodist family in om· Conference.

Brethren, the emergency is upon us, we dare not stop lost we lose our hold upon humanity and lest Satan use this mighty agency, the press, for the world's destruction. I.et not the

artillery of Heaven, devised for man's salvation, be turned upon God's own cause. We therefore, by a standing vote,

Resolve, That each one of us will thus pledge himself to try and organize the charge, with which we may severally stand connected during 189!3, into working order to aid in more successfully putting our literature into circulation, to begin by putting the Florida Christian Advocate into each family represented in that charge and by putting the Nashville AJvocate into the hands of each official member of the charge.

The annual repol't of the Pre. ident"of each of tlw colleges• having official connection with the Florida C'onferl'nce, bas been submitted to your Board.

42 FLORIDA A~NlJ.\J, CO~FERESCE.

The fact that the aggregate attendance upon these institu­tions is increasing rather than diminishing, notwithstanding the ·sore financial depression that has prevailed in much of the territory furnishing their usual patronage, gives ground for profound gratitude to the Giver of all good, anrl is evidence that the interest of Methodists in higher christia.n education is intensifying rather than abating.

Emory College, Oxford, Ga., recognizecl as the joint prop­erty of the :Florida and the two Georgia Conferences, is re­ported to have closed, in June 1895, the most prosperous year in its history, the enrollment reaching 288, the bequests of friends and the liberality of the Alumni have rendered possible two additional professorships, and the attendance for the iwesent half year is about 30 ,.above the attendance up to the same date last year.

'I'he college plant including en<lo wment clear of all i11c11m­brance is valued at 8350,000.

Let us hope, pray, arnl labor to the end that all the needs may be !Supplied and that thP. influence of this gr::md olcl in­i:;titution upon church and state may continue to widen and deepen nntil the final day.

Wesleyan Female College, .Mncon, Ga., nnder the presi­dency of Hev. E. II. Howe, is sustaining hor well earned rep· utatiun in equipping chrii.;tian women for the upbuilding of the church arnl for the preservation of 80ciety.

The enrollment during the pni;;t school ye:u· rcachc1l 2-W, with eleven States rcpreHcuted, and ili now only a little ll',i11 than the enrollment at the same date last year.

During the past year free tuition was granted 37 worthy young ladies, 23 being tho da11ghter11 of ministers. 'fho health of the students was phenominal, ancl the religions in­fluence in the college bas hardly a parallel.

It would be wisdom on the part of Metho<list wealth and benevolence to so amply endow this .1.lfo/)ier of College.~ that she may eai;ily hold that superior rank which the mother should occupy in the family of colleges.

GONJ!'ERENCIJ: BOAHD OP EDl ' f'ATIO);.

'~ The policy of the church in estr.bli~hing !>O many female

Sllhools of professedly equal grade as to force them into sharp competition for patronage is to be deprecated.

It is to be hoped that the scheme of correJ::ition proposeil by our General Conference may soon reach such a Rtate of perfection as to ceaRe all friction and to place the Wesleyan, leading in age, equipment, endowment and in good offices for the church, as the recognized head or Unh·ersity among female colleges. This college should be put upon such sound financial basis that all rental fees may be abolished.

Southern Methodism has reaped too rich a harvest of christian women going from her portals to suffer this grand old institution of leaming to pine away from inadequate sup­po1·t or froll;l unworthy competition. As we love aml appre­ciate, and as the church needs cultured and consecrated womanhood, let us work and pray that Wesleyan Fomale Col­lege may be lifted to the lofty plain which J,ovick Pierec and his confercs planne!l aud prayed she should occupy.

The Florida Conference College, Leesburg, Fla., .fames T. Nolen President, with an exi~tenee of only ten yearii, is the clnlJ of this Conference, nrnler its special fostering care and appN1ls in the midst of financial depression for fil)'tnpathy arnl · support.

This imititution, the subject of many prayt•rs and mud1 anxiomi solieitucle, thongh youthful and un1levelope11, ha:; already accomplished much good, and if it shall he carefully nnrtnrecl into full inatnrity will yet hecome the i1lol of l:<'l"r­i11a ::\Iethodism and a hk~ssing to the State"

It appeals to christian lilH~rality and to de11nmi11:1tioual priile, and it would be a sad l'l'tlr•c1·ion upon l\fet h()(lism in this Conference to permit thi:-1 collL•ge to go down, \\ bile the liLer- \ ality and labor!:! of other hranch<'s of chri tians ll>Hs nnmerouK than we are Hufficient to sustam a St 011 l'"u1versity or a Hollms College.

It is a matter of profound congratulation, that our college, J in the midst of a direful financial crisis, void of proper equip­ment, without one cent of endowment jand in debt, has any existence at all. But in spite of adverse circumstances the

.44 FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

-college still lives and reports an enrollment of 58 pupils for the present fall term, six of whom are preparing for the min­istory, and 12 are children of ministers. The outlook for the -college is still more hopeful.

1 It has a faculty of six t,eachers, capable of meeting all the .~equb·ements of an orilinary college course. Board has Leen / 1·~duced to $10.06 a month to meet the stringency of the times.

Let us, brethren, give to our Conference College full sym­)Jathy, loyal and active co-operation, and earnest support.

While looking after higher education in these institutions under care of the church, may we not forget that first impres­:aions are the lasting ones and that the first education of nearly .all children of today is obtained in the public schools.

This early education is far reaching and more importn.nt, if possible, in its results upon society, church an<l State, than the higher education which the chnrch undertakes to give. Let ns then in our capacity as citizens see to it, that those powerful and lasting first impressions are made by christian teachers.

German physiology has wisely said, 1•That which you wish to Jmt into the life of a nation, you must put into the children .at school." " re say, what you would put into the school must first lrnve its i>xistcncc i11 the mind, the heart, and the daily life of the teaclwr.

Though members of churches, yet christiani! flo not surren­.der any of the rights of citizens, whose privilege ancl duty it is to guard the welfare of both church and State.

One of their rights is toJdemand that truth, sobriety, and .(IVery christian virtue shall be taught by example as well ns hy precept in all schools, whether under church or governmental auspices.

If as church members we smTender this rightful surveil­lance over schools under State control for jnst one or two generations, our children will witness infidelity rampant and -0hristian education sneered and passed into disfavor.

REPOHT OF THE COJ\Il\IITTEE ON TEMPEHANCE •

.ft is useless for your committee to detain yon to emphasize the exceeding importance of the subject before us, which is. equalled only by the gravity of the issue involved. Surely ne> thoughtful man can fail to appreciate the magnitude of the clanger threatening ns through this evil traffic. In all nations­avd among all classes of people, since the intoxicating cup was. first placed to the lips of fallen humanity, int.emperance bas held an important place in the potent forces operating in dis­organization of kingdoms, the overthrow of empirea. and the wreck of nati,.ons. Not only do we behold its ravages iu pagan nations, whioh might be expected to yield to this awful de­stroyer, but Christian nations subject to its blighting influ-

€!lees; the chil111'en of God surrender their crown, and even ministers of the Go8pel of j

1Christ ruin themselves and bring

reproach upon the Church of God by submissively bowing to this tyrant king.

This evil is not only nniYersal m its effects upon all natious, lmt it is complete In it3 Jisastrous effects upon all who be­come the nnfortnnatc snhjects of its mysterious power. It cuts down youth in its vigor, manhood in its strength and age in its weakne~s.

It breaks the hearts of fond fathers and loving mothers, ex­tinguishes natnrn.l affections and bring down moumiug age in s orrow to the grave. It destroys health and life, makes wives widows, children orphans ancl fathers fiends, and all of them paupers and beggars.

It eovers the land with idleness, poverty, crime and disease. 1 t disqualifies voters, corrupts elections, debases the legisla­tor and endangeJ·s the government. It kills the body, destroys the soul, curses Gorl and despises heaven.

It is with profonnd thanksgiving to Almighty God that we note the wonderful improvement of public opinion on thii;; great question, and extract consolation from the fact that his­tory warrants ns in claiming that Methodism has lead the great temperance forces of the world.

We rejoice in the fact that many counties in our State have held special elections and voted down the accursed traffic, and we urge upon all of our people the importance of coatinuing in this good work till there shall not be a saloon in any part of our fair Florida.

We most heartily commend the heroic efforts of some of our brethren, who by their able sermons and faithful services, have done mnch to develop public opinion, arouse the oonsoi­enoies of the people on the subject of moral reform and the enforcement of law, securing in some places the closing of the saloon on the Lord's Day, and in some places driving them from the town and communities.

We are l!lso delighted to learn that the law of the ohurch prohibiting drinking and drunkenneH is being enforced, and

DISTltlCT ('ONFE:RE:YCE RE~onns. 4i

that people are learning that their names cannot remain upon our church registers and petitions for saloon liceni-:es at the same time.

But the battle grows fiercer and fiercer, an<l we must unitedly go forward to more glorious victories or submit to shameful defeat.

Feeling the need of an agressive campn.ign against this foe of God and men, we submit the following resolutions :

1. That we endeavor to have the subject of temperance more systematically taught in our Sunday-schools, th:i.t we most heartily approve the use of those te:tt-books in tho secu­lar schools which give scientific temperance instruction.

~. That we urge our preachers to preach oftener upon the subject.

9. And as far as possihle to organize the people for syste­matic temperance work.

REPORT Olf THE COM:MITTEE ON BIBLE CAUSE.

DEAR BRETIIUEN :-\Te are glad to note that the American Bible Society continues its noble work of disseminating the word of God.

The total issue for its 79th year were Bibles, Testaments an(l po1·tions, 1,581,128, of which 735,221 were circulated in foreign lands. Of the total issue of 250,000,000 distributed throughout the world by the agency of Bible Societies alone since 1804, the American Bible Society has issued 60,000,000, or about one fourth. The expenditure for foreign work in the year encling March 31st 1895 were $152,710.77; and in the last fifteen years the cash outlay in foreign lands has been $2,033,3':13.59 besides what has been expended at the Bible House in printing the Scriptures in foreign fanguages for cir­culation abroad.

Of the 947,103 Bibles and portions issued from the Bible House during the past year, no less than 845,997 of them have been for home supply.

Half a million families in this country were visited by the society and its auxiliaries, and over 100,000 of them were­without the Scriptures.

Turning our eyes from a general survey of the whole field to that which chiefly concerns us, the situation as it exists at present in Florida; we fincl a s~ate of affairs that challenges our attention.

The sources of supply are totally inadequate to the need!! of our people. There are but 15 or 18 places in the State where Bibles can be had at the cost of publication, or as gifts to th&

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON IHULE CA USE. 49

poor, and a careful estimate of the amount of ai;sets of the different auxiliaries in the State shows that less than $725 is invested in the whole of Florida in the work of supplying our people with the vVorcl of Goel through this benevolent agency.

Several methods are open to us to meet this emergency : 1st. We can co-01)erate with the District(Superintenclent in

forming auxiliaries, and keeping alive and efficient those al­ready established.

2d. We can promote the establitihment of Bible committees at points where there are none at present.

3d. vVe can secure grants of books for sale, and for gratuit­ous distribution when the other two methods are not avail­able.

4th. We 'can avail ourselves of the '.generous offer of the American Bible Society, which proposes under certain cil'cnm­stanoes to supply children in destitute condition with the Bible at half price.

The District Superintendent reports that he has visited 9 charges since the last Conference; that 60 charges not visited by him have reported money collected by(the pastors for the American Bible Society, ancl that 34 charges have made no report nt ail on this line.

In view of these facts, we would most earnestly recommend that Bible 8ocieties be organizedl in every county, as far as possible, and where this is not practical that one of the meth­ods suggested above be adopted for supplying our people with the Bible.

Respectfully submitted,

ImPOHT O.B' COMMITTEE ON FLOBIDA CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE.

~Y0ur committee beg leave to make the following report:

\Ve had submitted to us the annual exhibit of the eilitor ·and publisher, Dr. Anderson, from which we gather some facts which are gratifying, and some that are exceedingly painful. We note with pleasure, that the paper has increased in circulation during the past year, notwithstanding, the wide­ispreacl depression under which our people have suffered. This

·dcmonstrate8, we think, the fact that our paper could through t he co-operation of all our preachers, have such prosperity as would free our beloved editor from financial embarrassment. 13ut the sad fact is bronght out in said exhibit that while the Teceipts from subscriptions and advertisement have been $2,128.b8, the cost of getting the paper to subscribers has been $2,400.00, leaving only the small profit of ~319.GG for the support of the editor an<l family. This ought not to be.

Of the management and editorial ability shown in tl:e paper, it is needless for us to dwell at any great length. 'Ve can speak with commendable pride of many excellent, yea superior qualities of our own cherished Advocate. It is a clean paper. The clear scriptural exposition of the doct1·ines of our noble t•eligion, and of Wesleyan l\Iethodism arc given the . church from week to week in plain English and upon an ele­vated plane spirituality making a paper not only helpful to the ministry of our church, but one that we can put with per­fect assurance into the families of our people. . The paper deserves a wider circulation, and its editor a better support. While we know that resolutions are worthless unless put into practice, yet we have confidence in our brethren and can but think they will adopt and practice the following resolution :

Resolved, That we, as IJrea:ihers and laymen will strive the coming year to put the Florida Chrisian Advocate in the lhomes of all our people and not supplant our own paper by .other and unworthy publications.

HEPOR;I' OF OUR MISSIONARY TO TAMPA.

Having been engaged for eighteen years in missionary work among my own people in Key \Vest; the sacred ties of friend­ship and brotherly love bincling onr hearts together, naturally growing stronger from year to year, It is not difficult to con­ceive what were the emotions of my heart when, a~ the close -0f our farewell service I announced to them my appointment to Tampa, where I was to organize a new branch of the Cuban mission. The general condition of the Cuban mission work is so well known that I deem it unnecessary to make a very extensive report on the same. I will, therefore, only give some items of information touching the progress and development of this new branch recently established in W e::1t Tampa and Ybor City.

No work is more difficult and trying than that of organiz. ing a new mission field, especially when the peo1)le in whose behalf the effort is made are not only indifferent to, but prej­udiced against, the same. However, we are taught in God's word that 1his grace is sufficient for us,' and that 'we can do all things through Christ that strengtheneth us.' J3eing con­fident of this truth, and claiming the ever-comforting and in­spiring promise, 1Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world,' I pressed forward, trusting implicitly in the J .. ord for guidance and imccess. And thps it is that, at the close of this year, I am enabled to report the work in a most prosperous condition and bidding fair to greater achieve­ments in the future.

We have two mission schools, with 140 pupils enrolled. These schools are under the auspices and direction of the

52 FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

Woman'~ Parsonage and Home l\Ii101sion society. The teachers~ Mrs. Rosa Valdez, J\'Iiss Emeline Valdez and Miss J\fay Lock­ard, have done faithful work. About three months ago a sewmg and fancy work class was started in each school, by Mrs. M. A. Wolff, the superintendent of the school work .. Sister Wolff's enthusiasm and zeal fvr the Cuban mis:o1ion has become proverbial. She gives her personal attention to thiR branch, which is becoming one of the most attractive features. of our mission work among the children. .

At the last annual convention of the Woman's Parsonage and Home Mission society, which met last August, in Ashe­ville, N. C., an appropriation of $2,500 was made for the pur­pose of pnrcl1asing l:wd and erecting a school building at. Ybor City. This amount with the addition of $1,000 a gift, secured by Sister Wolff from a personal friend, has enabled the superintendent to purchase a most eligible piece of land on which a fine, two-story school building is now being con­structed, the description of which is as follows: Ground space, 55x55 feet. The lower floor will contain one main school room 18x30 feet; a kindergarten room, 16x30 feet; one class-room, 16x18 feet, another 12x12 feet; a reception hall, 15x16 feet. The two rooms and the class room can be

· thrown into one auditorium, where about three hundred per­sons can be comfortalily seated. The upper story will consist of eight rooms, including the bath room. It will have broad' piazzas on three sides, closets, gas and all modern improve­ments. It is said by those who have seen the plan that it wilf be one of the neatest a11d most conveniently arranged school houses in Tampa. Brother J. II. Dorsey, one of Tampa's best. contractors, and a faithful member of our church, is superin­tending the construction of this handsome edifice, which wilt be an honor to the Woman's Parsonage and Home Mission society, as well as an incalcuable blessing to our Cuban people ..

The mission has three Sabbath schools, two of Cubans, in West Tampa and Ybor City respectively, and one in West Tampa, of Americans, the latter having been organized quite­recently; total number of pupils and teachers, i50. There are­two :flourishing juvenile societies, auxiliaries to the Woman's

Parsonage and Home Mission society, with abont 1-!0 mem­bers; dues collcctccl during the year, about $45-I suppose the largest amount reported by any \Voman's Juvenile auxil­iary within the bounds of this Conference

Abont four weeks ago, I organized a Woman's Parsonage .and Home l\:l:ission society, in \Vest Tampa, with fourteen members and four honorary members.

There are three congregations-two ·of Cubans and one ·Of English-speaking people ; the latter was organized in w· est Tampa about six weeks ago. Our present membership is thirty-five, twenty-seven of whom were received. by certificate and eight on profession of faith; eleven are probationers.

Two aft.ernoons in the week are devoted to missionary visits by the pastor, accompanied by one or more of the teachers, whose faithfulness and interest in the welf.are of the mis8ion seems tu increase daily. A weekly meeting of all the worker~, and 'those especially inte1·ested in om· mission work, is conducted by the pastor. These are seasons of deep spir­itual joy to our souls. The tlear Lord draws very near to us while praying together for his blesRing upon ourselves aml tho work that lies so near to 0111· hearts. Our greatest need today is a neat ancl commodious houRe of worship. There is wealth . enough in our church to snpply thi~ urgent demand ~\t once; but, ah! right here we arc t'Onfronte<l by tl·e sad fact that but a small portion of the wealth that is in the chnrch is con­.<;ecrated to tho work of the chureh. May God speell tlie day when true self-denial and Christian liberality will be the um­versal practice among the di:;ciples of Him who gave His very heart't:1 bloo<l fur the salvation of the worl<l !

It iH our purpose to organize at once another American -0ongregation and Sunllay school at Ybor City. The Cuban mis~ion charge in Tampa will then have four congregations and four Sunday schools.

I have received donations to the amount of :!l-!2.10; ex­pernled in va1·ious ways, ~:H.41 ; balance on hand, $:.W.69.

I can not close this brief report without making 11ome allu­.sion to the Cuban ·revolution, and the bearing it has on the successful establi~hment of the cause of the gospel in Cuba.

5-! J•'LORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

Let me assnre those who are interested in the latter that there is a close and intimate connection between the two. Just as long as Cuba remains under the \ron heel of Spanish suprem­acy, so long will Rome continue to sway her sceptre of papal' power over our country. Spanish rule in Cuba means, be­yond doubt, not only abject political slavery; but spiritual darkness, practical infidelity and death, as well. Think of it, dear brethren, right in the heart of this American conti­nent and but ninety miles distant from your free republican shores, are one and a half million of human beings deprived by the despotism and tyrannical rule of a monarchical Euro­pean government, not only of that sweet and precious boon of national liberty which you possess and enjoy, but of the universal right God gives to every man to "sit under his own vine and fig tree" and "worship Jehovah according to the dic­tate;; of his , own conscience." No wonder that some three months ago, when twenty-five thousand Spanish soldiers were about to E)mbal'k for Cuba from Spain for the purpose of put­ting down the rebellion by the force of arms, Pope Leo XIII wired J:iis blessing to them, and assured them of his sympathy and prayers for their success.

But, blessed be the Lord, the blessing of the thirteenth Lion of Rome (Leo XIII) is not worthy to be compared to that of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Lord Jesus Christ,_ who was "annointed to preach the gospel to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, re­covering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bound.

It is very true that the new Spanish constitution grants. the right of Protestant worship; but there are so many restric­tions and limitations attached to this constitutional clause that only a limited religious toleration (not freedom) iR enjoyed by om· people. Ilolding religious services with closed doors and screened windows is the only privilege granted by the gov­ernor-captain-general, who is the supreme head of the civil, military and ecclesiastical jurisdicti(lns of Cuba; and, even when this most sacreligious requirement is strictly complied with, no Protestant service or gospel meeting, whatever can

be held without having first obtained a written permit from1 the civil government to that effect.

Brethren and friends, 1 earnestly ask your fervent prayers· th:it the long-expected day of national and religious liberty· may speedily dawn upon down trodden Cuba, and that the-· unadulterated and saving gospel of the Son of God may enter· into the hearts and homes of our benighted people.

Un<lcr om· care an<'! snpe1·vision, have been cluring the year 1895, thirty-four misHionR, to ea.ch of which, some little ai1l hafi been given, thus enabling <levoted men, in the spirit of their Master, by much SL•lf-denin.1 1 to carry ont the supreme an cl crowning glory of hiR advent.

Yea oftl' ntirnos the <1itticnlties1 hard>1hipR and Relf-de­nials of our brethren, on the missions of onr Confe1e11ces, are more ancl greater than those of any foreign land. The men who fill these missions, encountr~ring these difficulties, endur­ing these hardships, a111l undcrgomg these 1111.crifices, are heroes indc~d and in truth. All honor to them !

THE FLORlDA C'ONJ:;'EHENCE COLLEGE. 63

THE FLOHIDA CONFEHENUE COLLEGE.

It gives us pleasul'e to annotmce that, amid the depl'ession of the times and all the opposition it has met, our college is still running and prospering.

We are devoutly thankful that through all the difficulties of the past a kind Providence bas safely guided our institution, raising up friends to give it patronage and support. \Ve should also be grawfnl to God for the good health of teachers and stu<lents during the current session, and the measure of success that has attended their .work. Since the· addition of another member to our .faculty the teaching force has been sufficient for all the requirements of a thorough college course.

PA·1·1w:s .wE.-The emollment during the present sN1sion has reached 58. 'While this number is below that of the same date last year, the number of boarding pupils is greater than it was at the close of last session. \Ye have oix students pre· paring for either the ministry or mission work. Twel\·e others are children of mmisters. Hence the college is at presented­ucating eighteen pupils for our church. This fact should in­crease the interest of the church in working fot· the college.

C'11.\.TGEs.-Some changes have been made in the boarding departments. \Vhile heretofore the boys and git·ls have boarded at separate places, usually paying €112.00 })er month for hoard, many of the young men now take tbeit· meals at College Home where the young ladies board, and by this ar­rangement the cost of board has been reduced to $10.00 per month.

This session has been divided into two equal terms of eigh­teen weeks each.

The course ·of study ancl general i·ules ancl regulations are substantially the same as they were last year.

So IA.L ND MORAL CO:NDlTIO:NS.-Our college is in a town noted for good morals, and the student& as a rule are indus­trious and orderly; making the maintenance of discipline a compAratively ~osy task l\Iany students by taking an active

part in the devotional and literary exercises have already made marked improvement and are thus preparing to fill use­ful ftationfl in social and public life.

A THAINING scnooL.-We take pleasure in announcing that our college is a trainmg school for Vanderbilt or any good university of our land, and we advise our young preachers to take a theological co111'se at Vanderbilt after they graduate, but we do not profess to be a training school for any other college since our course of study compares favorably with that of the oldest and best college in the South.

A suoGESTIOY.-vVe repeat the suggestion made by Presi­dent Melton last year, that a day be set apart as "College Day," when every preacher in the Conference will preach on the srib­ject of Christian Educatio11, call attention to our college, and solicit the uames of those who desire catalogues and informa­tion.

In conclusion we should be devoutly thankful to God for the blessings of the past year and the hopeful outlook for the futu1:e. Let us enter upon the new year with a stro11ger faith and a more earnest effort to advance His cause.

Her girlhood life was a true prophecy of what she was to he in the maturity of the corning years.

In her twentieth year she wafl united in marriage with Rev. W. C. Jordan, of the Ii'lorida Conference. Jn full sympathy with him and his vocation as an itinerant from the beginning <>f her manied life she easily, and cheerfully adjusted herself to the dutief!, l!lacrifices, privations and toils incident to her re­:i!ponsible position.

-five or one hnndl'ed miles was then quite an undertaking, in­volving much discomfort and often d:i.nger to the health of wife and children. Throup:h !lll these years r;ho went forward without a murmur, carrying tl1e sunshine of God's love in her heart and beamiug from her conntenaneo. Her presence was as joy and benediction wlierever she went. .An increasing family, coupled with failing health rcnde1w1 it necm;sary that she should have a fixed home. I'rovide11ce openo<l the way, and it was secured; ancl it was forn1ly hoped that in the quiet and rest of that Lome, she would regain henlth ::LlH1 i;trength. For several years her health continued abont the i;arne-bet­ter and worse by turns- m1til finally consumption, the latent di~ease from which :~he had long snffere<l, fnlly developed, and from that time hel' decline, though still very gradual, was more m:trked.

Meanwhile her devote<l hush:md took his appointments from year to year, all(l sened them faithfully anil elliciently; nor would she ~ntertain a moment the thought of his retiring from the work on account of her failing health. She always hclpetl and never hin<lered him in "his lovell employ."

·when appointments were to be filled 01· ministerial engage­ments met she never said "stay," but always "go," and Hhe would see to it in person, or through her dntiful danghte1·R, that the valise was packed in tlne time, so there would be no delay in leaving.

Her husband was neceAsanly absent from home frequently, and when on district work, was often aTI·ay for " 'eeks at a time, but such wail her patient endurance and cheerful resig­nation and steacliness of faith in the God of all grace and com­fort, th&t the home was kept bright and happy. Ho.w much, under God, the church owes to the consecrated, heroic and self sacrificing devotion of the wives of itinerant preachers, can never be known till the light of eternity breaks upon the records of the present life.

She was the mother of mnc children1 eight of whom survive. Never was mo,her more devoted to children, or children to mother. She trained them religiously, and they were im­pressed with her ·noble character, and as a result they were a

Failing by almost imperceptible llegrees, she did uot take her bed nnt.il a few months of the final end. Her suffering was long continu<>d arnl sometimes severe, hut she never mnr­mnrc11.

She woultl somct.imcs say, with St. Panl "to depart and be with Christ is far better," btit she would a1l•l, "0ocl knows what is best; His will be done!"

She was often nnntterably happy i11 tlrn a~snrance that "the blood of Christ cleanscth from all sin.'' 1-ihe anticipat.ecl death, not only without fear, lrnt with rapturous triumph. \Ylwu the fiwtl hour e:une, s11rro111Hled hy her sorrnwing family, she passe<l n~vay to tlw he ~ivenly homo as sere11Pl,V and rest.folly as a. tirc<l child falling to s lt'ep on the hosom of maternal love.

-was given our sainted sister to possess the exceeding joy of -constant uuiou with Christ, ancl in this experience her i;:oul found a comfort for which earth had no exchange.

Acth·ity in Christ's cause was a passion with her. Day by <lay she strnlied how best to exalt Him. ·whcrewr her lot was cast she brought to bear the tremmres of a rufined and cultivated nature and a heart filled with love to Christ, in helping, inspiring, comforti11g and blessing all who needed and· all who mourned.

Reared in the school of southern womanlwod, one can un­derstand how her modest ancl gentle nature must have been tried, as the first Presiclen~ of tho Womam' Missionary So­ciety of tlw Flori<la Confe1:ence. Going about organizing auxiliaries, anrl combating difficulties in this new work, her patience, an<l consi<leration for the opinions of other:>, tlis­arn~ed opposit.ion anrl won the '·right-of-way" in onr 1-'tate for "womans' work for woman." The tiny plant of ~race, 11ncler her fosteriug love anrl sel'\·ice grew into a st:i.tely beauty, and the fragrance of its presl•nce attests the approval of Heaven upon her sacrifice aiorl rlcvotion to this cause.

In all the years of her married life she was a true hclpmeet <>f her hushanr1. 'l'he inspiration of her faith norveil her for the toils and sacrifices of a minister's wifr, :m<l iu whatevPr lot her life was ca~t, there ~he found, and rejoiced to do the work the J\lastc1· gave into her hands. \Ylwther 011 country charge, or city station, or rlistrict work, tlwre !'lbe miuistcred to the sad and heavy-hearted, speaking wonls of cheer; pray­ing with the penitent; liindin~ up the womHlcd in heart; pour­ing in tho wine and oil of gracious co11solatioJ1; chiding lov­ingly the erring; sei•k ing out the discouragecl an<I helping the fallen to the sheltering arms of Infinite L•>vt•: HO she dwelt, a blessing, among her people.

'!'here was a rlivi11e contagion in her prcsen<•e, J csus was with her, and Hhe attnwterl others to goo<luess. Gentle, mod­-est, self-1listrustiug, sho never thought she was making the world luminous ahout lwr: neither do the stars think their light ufticient to brighten the sky; but clear-shining as those <>rbs above us was tho life she lived in the tiight of all.

SOME FACTS OF OUR CHURCH HISTORY.

At the foundry in London N ovembe1· 11, 1739, Methodism had its birth place. Five years later at the same place the first "0onferencE1" was held composed of J ohu \V csley and six other clergymen, besides four lay preachers, eleven in all.

A fow years later the first church was built in that neigh­

Seven years after the first society was organized the first «,\nnnal" Conference was held which represented 33,272 :Metho1lists. The regular organization of the lHethod;st Epis­copal Chmch was effected m Baltimore i11 1 i9-l:. Drs. Coke and Asbury we1·{• t.he first 1Jishop8.

A. Graham, R. A. Gl'iflin, G. C. Clarke, G. W. Pratt, J. M. N. Low, J. Carraway, ,J. II. Bryan and J. C. Ley, thirty-one in all.

"These formed our forlorn hope. The object to cultivate the field from Albany, Ga., to. Key West, from the Atlantic ocean to the .Apalachicola river. Hut our circuits were large, most of the preachers filling appointments at from six to seven places in the week, and thus our territory was substantially covered."

Of these only three are living S. P. Richardson who is now a superannuate and member of the North Georgia Conference.

E. L. T. Blake, also superannuated and living at Ocala, Fla., and J.C. Ley, still on the effective list and serving by appoint­ment of Bishop Granbery, the .Micanopy Ct.

During the fifty-one years of our history as a Oonference we have had but nine Conference Secretaries, of these five served only one year ~ach. P. P. Smith served fifteen years and our present Secret:iry, F. Pasco, has Eerved consecutively twenty-three years.

OUR BISHOPS.

The Methodist Church ::louth, hns had twenty-three Bishops of whom thirteen have passed away. Ten are still with us, the elclest John C. Keener being in his seventy-sixth year. He has been Bishop twenty-six yell.rs. The youngest is Chas. B. Galloway, born in 1849 and elected and ordained Bishop to­gether with three others in 1886. Bishop G. :F. Pierce pre­sided over the Florida Conference eight times. Of those who have died Bishop Bascom did not preside at any session of our Conference. Of the living all have been with us one or more times except Bishop ·wuson.
