cago, followed Bishop Warne, Thursday afternoon, with a thrill-

ing, soul-stirring revelation of his methods and activity in his

need and the place of our Board of Education in developing

the leadership adequate to the demands of tomorrow.

Endowment Fund for Conference Claimants.

Partaking both of the nature of an anniversary and a ses-

sion of the Conference, this meeting was one of the greatest

events of Conference week.

The members of the Lay Electoral Conference were wel-

comed in joint session with the Annual Conference and the

capacity of the building was taxed by the immense audience

present. Dr. F. L. Keeney, representing the General Confer-

ence Board of Claimants, was introduced and gave an address

in the interest of the Permanent Endowment Fund.

A. L. Parker, a distinguished Layman of Detroit, wasspokesman for the Lay Electoral Conference and offered the

recommendations of the Laymen respecting the campaign for

the raising of $250,000.00 in the Conference for the PermanentEndowment Fund. The Charles Wesley Club sang “That Beau-

tilful Land.’’ The Bishop then introduced Dr. M. S. Rice,

who made the final address of the evening. With surpassing

eloquence the great preacher traced the compensations of a

Methodist preacher’s life in the influences for righteousness

radiating from his ministry and strongly emphasized that a

minister’s first thought should be, not the material compen-

sation he was to receive, but what was the maximum of service

he could render to the uplift of the people to whom he wassent as a minister of Christ. He urged that if the movementtoward a better care in old age was to be realized it must be

through the demonstration of the minister’s unselfish devotion

to his task. The address made a most profound impression

upon both ministers and laymen.

Saturday—Annual Dinner, Brotherhood of Retired Ministers.

The Brotherhood of Retired Ministers, their wives and the

widows of deceased ministers enjoyed their annual reunion

the hour with song.

At the business session, J. M. Gordon was elected President;

R. Woodhams, Vice-president; J. B. Oliver, Secretary, and

Saturday—The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension.

Dr. George Elliott presided, and after devotional services,

introduced Dr. A. G. Kynett of Philadelphia, Recording Secre-

tary of the Board, who, in the course of a very able address,

set forth the claims of this great Board to strong recognition

by the Church. It was shown that in the lifetime of the Board

of Home Missions and Church Extension, 20,000 Methodist

Episcopal Churches had been erected, of which number 17,000

Saturday Evening—Missionary Sermon.

The former custom of having a Missionary sermon preach-

ed before the Annual Conference which was discontinued for

some years was revived by Bishop Burt. Saturday evening

was set apart for this service. Dr. E. M. Moore presided;

Dr. Stanley Shaw led in prayer, the Charles Wesley Club sang

two numbers and the chairman introduced Dr. H. Lester Smith

of Central Church, Detroit, as the preacher appointed by the

Bishop. Dr. Smith took for his text, the great commission

voiced by our Lord in the last chapter of Matthew and deliv-

ered a stirring sermon emphasizing the present Kingship of

Christ, His right to issue the great commission and the won-

derful promise contained in the text.

Sunday Services.

The Love Feast at 9:00 o’clock led by Dr. Seth Reed was

a session of blessing replete with Christian reminiscence and

testimony.

The pulpits of the Evangelical Churches of Port Huronand Sarnia, Ontario, welcomed representative men of the Con-

ference.

At Lapeer Avenue Church Pastor E. D. Dimond assisted byDrs. Seth Reed and Wm. Balmer conducted the morning wor-

ship. Bishop Burt preached the sermon which was an exposi-

tion of II Corinthians 5:20. The Bishop laid emphasis uponthe Deity of Jesus; the supernatural in the Gospel. He de-

plored the tendency of departing from central things and to

lay stress upon by-products of the Gospel. The supreme need

of the soul is reconciliation with God. The part in the service

taken by the magnificent choir of the Conference Church washighly commended by the Bishop and received the hearty ap-

preciation of the Conference.

The Anniversary of the Freedman’s Aid Society was held

at 2:00 o’clock. Dr. Wm. Dawe presided and Dr. P. J. Mavee-

ty, Corresponding Secretary of the Freedman’s Society gave

the address. Immediately following Dr. W. R. Fruit took the

chair and after devotions Professor H. F. Rail of Garrett Bib-

lical Institute was introduced and addressed the great audience

present on the subject: ‘‘A Social Creed.”

At 4:00 o’clock the impressive service of ordination was

conducted by Bishop Burt and the District Superintendents

present. Eleven Elders and thirteen Deacons were ordained.

The Bishop also consecrated Miss Mable Briggs of Detroit as

a Deaconess.

At the evening hour of worship the audience which taxed

the capacity of the church assembled to hear Bishop Theodore

S. Henderson, Chairman of the General Conference Commis-

sion on Evangelism. In a sermon of great power, the Bishop

impressed the obligation to give Christ’s call the first place in

the choice of a life work. He closed with a consecration ser-

vice, calling upon ministers and all parents present to dedicate

their children to the service of Christ and young people to

yield their lives in whole hearted consecration to Christ’s ser-

vice anywhere in the world. A great number responded to

each call.

Boat Ride Friday Evening.

The Business Men’s Association of Port Huron tendered

the Conference a boat ride on the lake early Friday evening.

REV. WILLIAM BIGELOW POPE

Rev. William Bigelow Pope passed peacefully to his reward from

his home in Monroe, Mich., August 4, 1915. He was born in Monroe-ville, Ohio, July 3, 1857. He was descended from a line of ministerial

ancestry of the finest stock. His mother was the daughter of Rev.

Russell Bigelow, the hero of Edward Eggleston’s book, “The Circuit

Rider.” His father was Rev. Thomas Pope, of the Central Ohio con-

ference. His three brothers, Russell B., Parker P. and Jackson T.

Pope, were all ministers of the gospel and members of the same Ohio

conference.

February 1, 1883, Rev. W. B. Pope married the talented and ver-

satile cousin of Bishop McCabe, Miss Anna McCabe, of Sydney, Ohio.

Their home life was very happy. The same purposes and the sameideals moved them both. He found in his life companion a worthy

and congenial helpmate. Mrs. Pope and three children survive, Mrs.

A. M. Highly and Miriam Anna, of Monroe, and James Harland, of

Los Angeles. Just a few days before his death Mr. Pope received

news that the latter had been admitted to the bar as an attorney at

law in California.

he joined the Detroit conference and accepted w ork in the frontier

districts. He built churches at Gaylord and Vanderbilt, and later

served important churches in Bay City and Detroit. From First

church, Bay City, he went to the superintendency of Sault Ste. Marie

district. He was too generous of his strength in this unlimited field,

and his health failed. During the days of his superannuation he

made his home in Monroe among the many friends he had made w'hile

ipastor. His many years of effective ministry reflected the brilliant

I

stock from which he sprung. His days of superannuation were spent

I in quiet retirement. With a sweet and gracious spirit he surrendered

his life work and adjusted himself to new and strange conditions. At

the same time he never lost his keen interest in the brethren and the

3 churches and work of the conference. He maintained this interest

unabated to the last and died thoroughly conversant with the larger

movements of the church militant. His relationship to the loca^

church was most cordial and helpful. He worked effectively and

yet quietly and modestly.

REV. JUDSON P. COOPER

Rev. Judson Phillip Cooper, who was completing his third year

as pastor of the Asbury Church, Owosso, passed away suddenly at the

parsonage, at about 10 o’clock June 2. He had been siitfering with

nephritus for several years and sustained a slight stroke of apoi>lexy,

February 9. Later he suffered a nervous breakdown, but because of

and w'as able to leave the bed and sit in a chair in the bed room. His

wife was with him and was supporting him in her arms w hen he

gasped and expired.


Mr. Cooper was born in Smithville, Ontario, March 2, fifty-five

years ago. When sixteen years old, his mother died and the family

circle was broken. He removed four years later to Michigan, taking

up his home with a sister, Mrs. Mary Quick, in Tuscola county. Pre-

vious to this time he was graduated from a high school in Ontario and

was converted at a Baptist revival service. He later united with the

Methodist church.

He first fitted himself for the ministry by taking the conference

course of study. He was ordained and his work was assistant to Rev.

Samuel Gilchriese, pastor at Cass City. His first charge was at

Bridgeport.

Having saved suflBcient money to place him in the Garrett Bib-

lical Institute at Evanston, 111., he studied there a year and a half and

from school went to Nebraska and South Dakota.

Twenty-one years ago he returned to Michigan and was pastor at

Bennington and Pittsburg for a year, Asbury church in Saginaw for

one year and then he took up a year’s work in the Mt. Vernon Semi-

nary at Boston, Mass. On June 24 he was united in marriage to Miss

Amelia Brueck and at the following conference he was assigned to

the pastorate of Woodside Ave. church. Bay City, where he spent three

years. He was pastor at West Branch a year, two years at Walled

Lake. The family then returned to Evanston, 111., where after two

years’ study he graduated from the Biblical Institute in 1904. For

three years he was pastor Caseville, two at Armada and three at

Washington Avenue, Port Huron. He then moved to Owosso.

He had made many staunch friends and the most profound sym-

pathy of the community has been manifested during his illness. Hewas an earnest and tireless worker for his church and a man of deep

religious conviction, who practiced what he preached.

Surviving are the widow, three children, Foss, Frederick and

Charlotta, who reside at home, one brother and three sisters.

The funeral services wwe held at Asbury church and the bodytaken to Saginaw for interment. Dr. A. B. Leonard, district superin-

tendent, officiated, assisted by other Methodist pastors.

MR8. W. W. BENSON

Maria Arnott was born in Clark, Canada, July 26, 1839. Hergirlhood days were spent on her parents’ farm. She was married to

Rev. William W. Benson April 13, 1859, and for more than fifty

years shared with him the joys and trials of minister’s life.

They came to the Detroit conference in 1882 and for twenty-five

years served various charges faithfully.

They located in Morrice to spend their declining years in 1905^

and on April 13, 1909, they celebrated their golden wedding annivers-

ary. She had been confined to the house for over four years, but was

able to get about indoors a little until the morning of her death. She

survived her husbaud only two months and twenty-six days, passing

to rest on the evening of March 8, 1915, at the age of 75 years and 7

months. She is survived by three children, Mrs. G. C. Love, Antrim;

Mrs. Minnie Pratt, Morrice and Mr. Arthur Benson, Minneapolis, Minn.

Sister Benson will be remembered for her noble heartedness,

kindly disposition and firm, abiding faith in the Father’s care and

love. She missed her husband intensely, and though she nobly bore

the brief separation, it undoubtedly hastened her end, and now they,

who were almost lifelong companions, are sharing the blessings of

the Father’s house in a joy that knows no end. We miss their cheery

spirit and companionship, but we rejoice in their example and influence.

The funeral took place at the home on the 11th, conducted by the

pastor, assisted by Rev. A .B. Leonard. Interment was at the family

burying place, Corunna.

MRS. LUCINA C. WAIT RICHARDS.

Mrs. Lucina C. Wait Richards was born in the state of New York

in 1825, spending her younger days near Manchester, Mich., and

while teaching school near Saline became acquainted with the late

Rev. A. J. Richards, then a young farmer. She became his wife and

they remained on the farm some fifteen years, when her husband en-

tered the ministry. Her earnest religious nature enabled her to read-

ily adapt herself to the work of a pastor’s wife, and she enjoyed its

labors and its privileges, and was a real helpmate to her husband.

Her two children, N. A. Richards, of Saginaw, and Mrs. J. E.

Whalen, of Sault Ste. Marie, and her half-sister, Mrs. Sarah McCord,

of Manchester, survive her and remember her with gratitude for her

noble life and strength of character.

She spent her last few years with her son and died at Saginaw,

Oct. 12, 1914, after a very brief illness.

REV. JOHN M. WILSON

Rev. John M. Wilson was born in Scotland and died at his home,

66 Van Court Avenue, Detroit, Mich., Saturday, December 12, 1914.

He was converted at twenty-one and soon after began work for the

Lord as a Sunday School teacher and occasional preacher in the mis-

sion rooms. In this work he was so successful that frequently he was

urged to try and enter college with the view of becoming a minister

of the gospel. This, for a long time, he was unable to do, partly be-

cause he did not feel qualified for such an oflBce and partly because

of the lack of means. His wish was to become a city missionary, and

probably such would have been, but for the fact that the Lord,

who was calling him to the work of the ministry, opened up the wayin such a manner that he felt satisfied and glad to give up a good

business position and enter upon what was to be his life’s work. Hehad long had a desire to visit the United States and after several

years’ work in Scotland the way was opened for his coming to this

country, which he did in 1887, arriving with his wife in Detroit in the

fall of that year.

That year he was sent as supply to Iosco and Marion; in 1888 he

was appointed to Delray, where he remained two years. While there

the lot on which the old church stood was sold for a sum that enabled

the trustees to buy three lots on the Dearborn road, move the church

building and build the present parsonage, there being no house for

the preacher’s family, except a rented one. So carefully and cau-

tiously did he arrange the details in connection with the removal of

the church and the building of the parsonage, that the whole wasfinished free from debt. His other charges were Carleton and Sco-

field, one year; Weston, one year; Unionville and Sebewaing, three

years; Troy, two years; Millington, three years; Bennington, one year;

La Porte, two years; Salem, one year; Farmington, one year; Utica,

three years; Watrousville, one year. While at Millington the old

church edifice, that had done duty for a number of years, was sold,

and the present one was erected. On account of ill-health he becamea superannuate in 1909.

He was an earnest, faithful preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

During his ministry many were converted and believers werestrengthened and built up in their holy faith. He was a plain, un-

ostentatious man and never courted popularity, but was well pleased

to be a servant of the church, and as such he sought to do all the goodhe could to as many as he could.

And now he has gone to be with that Saviour and Friend he loved

and served so long. He has left behind a wife, who has labored with


him these many years on the charges he served, and a son, Henry F.

Wilson, whom he hopes to meet again in the better land.

The funeral services were held on Tuesday afternoon, at Four-

teenth Avenue church, where he had worshipped during his residence

in Detroit. They were in charge of the pastor. Rev. L. E. Lovejoy,

assisted by Revs. I. E. 'Springer, C. B. Allen, J. E. Jacklin and

P. I. Osborn. Dr. Lovejoy read the foregoing biographical sketch

and paid fitting tribute to Brother Wilson’s worth, from a favorite text

of his, 1 Tim. 1:15. Burial was at Greenwood cemetery.

MRS. W. W. WASHBURN

Cleora Augusta Town was born in Ypsilanti seventy-five years ago

last January (1915). Her father was a physician of wide practice and

greatly interested in the church. Cleora was converted in a revival

and united with the church when she was twelve years of age, and

from that time to the day of her death maintained her faith in Jesus.

She was an apt sct^olar and graduated from the Ypsilanti high school

in the notable days when Joseph Estabrook was principal. On Dec.

25, 1866, she was married to W. W. Washburn, the wedding taking

place at the old homestead. Rev. J. S. Smart oflBciating. Her husbandwas then superintendent of the public schools at Adrian, having ac-

cepted this situation about the middle of his senior year at Ann Arbor.

At the end of the next school year, Mr. Washburn accepted the posi

tion of president of the State University of Minnesota. At the close

of the second year here he felt such a drawing to the ministry that he

resigned his promising position and returned to Michigan to enter the

pastorate on a widespread circuit with a meagre salary. There is

nothing strange about this for a man who heard the divine call, but

for his companion to make the change and submit to the loss and de-

privation of so many things that had made up and enriched her life,

and to do this cheerfully, required a degree of consecration, whichmarks her a true heroine.

As a minister’s wife she was especially capable in guiding seek-

ing souls to the place of peace and blessing. Another feature of her

Christian life was her interest in and work in behalf of the missionary

cause, both foreign and home. She took an active interest both in the

local and district societies and regretfully ceased her active work in

behalf of this great cause. But she had to the last the willing spirit

which is so pleasing to the Master. So we may be sure she had his

approval. “Well done, good and faithful servant; enter thou into the

joy of thy Lord.”

REV. STEPHEN POLKINGHORNE

Stephen Polkiughorne was bom in Tregajorran, near Camborne,Cornwall, England, Nov. 21, 1851. He was converted and joined the

Wesleyan Church when fourteen years of age. His zeal for the cause

of Christ, and his recognized usefulness in the church led to his being

granted a local preachers license at an early age, a position he worthi-

ly filled until he joined the traveling ministry. Owing to the disturbed

industrial conditions, he decided to come to America, where he be-

lieved an opening could quickly be found. Circumstances justified

his faith, for he was in this country but a few months before he wasgiven the supply pastorate of Central Mine and Phoenix.

His first regular appointment w^as L’Anse, which he served twoyears. His next appointment w^as National Mine and Stoneville, after

which he was appointed to Central Mine for three years and then to

Bessemer. After this his appointments were Ontonagan, one year;

Iron Mountain, three years; Manistique, five years; Ishpeming, six

years; Lake Linden, three years; Kearsarge, five years; and Pewabic,

two and one-half years.


I

After his pastotate at Manistique he took a year’s vacation and

spent the time visiting with his wife his old home in England.

One of the best commentaries on the beauty of his character and

his efliciency as a pastor is the length of his later appointments and

the further fact, well known to his friends, that usually the last year

of his pastorates was the best.

He was married to Julia Rich, also a native of England, at Cen-

tral Mine, March 1, 1889, with whom he lived in the sweetest, happiest

relations till the day of his death. From this union three children

were born. One died in infancy, the other two, Ada and Wilfred, are

now living at home to cheer and gladden their widow^ed mother’s heart.

Brother Polkinghorne was one of the most perfect of Christians

and a faithful and eflBcient minister of Jesus Christ. Modest, patient,

sweet-spirited, unselfish, his example, possibly more than his preach-

ing, led people in the holy way. He continued a thorough student

throughout his entire life. No papers were listened to with more in-

terest at preachers’ meetings and conventions than those prepared by

him. In theology he was conservative. But he was in no sense be-

hind the times. He was effective to the last.

Both ministers and laity in the upper peninsula, where his en-

tire ministerial life had been spent, deeply mourn for him, but are

happy in the thought that he has gone to an abundant reward.

He left his earthly home in the early hours of June 1, 1915. His

disease had been such as to take all his strength and he complained

of being “so tired.” But on this night he was permitted to sleep and

slept on until his physical life had ebbed away and his soul had left

for the mansions above. His funeral was held in Pewabic church

June 3, being in charge of the writer, who was assisted by eighteen

ministers of the district. His body lies in beautiful Forest Hill ceme-

tery, Houghton. The infiuence of his noble life abides with the

people where he lived, labored, loved and died.

JULIA ROSS GORDONPeacefully and without a struggle, after an illness of four months,

having been stricken with paralysis Sunday morning, Xov. 22, Julia

Ross Gordon, wife of Rev. .Tohn Miles Gordon, an honored member of

the Detroit Conference, passed from this earthly life to the life beyond

on Friday afternoon, March 12.

Xelson and Mary Ann Ross, father and mother of Mrs. Gordon^

were among the early Methodist pioneers of Wayne county, having


settled in the township of Bedford in 1833. Their home was the

place sought for by the itinerant preacher for whom there was always

a welcome and entertainment without money and without price. TheRoss home was known by Methodists far and near, and it was in this

blessed Christian home that Mrs. Gordon was raised, and at a campmeeting held in the township of Southfield on the old Farmington

circuit she was happily converted and united with the Methodist Epis-

copal Church.

December 30, 1856 she was united in marriage with John Miles

Gordon, four childred having been given them, one of whom died in

infancy, and the oldest son, a prominent railroad man in Mexico, died

nine years since of yellow fever. The other two are Frank L. Gordon,

of this city, and Mrs. J. Emory Williamson, well known in the workof Central Church.

Tuesday afternoon, March 16, the funeral seryices were held in

the home, 615 Fourteenth Ave., conducted by her pastor, Rev. H.Lester Smith, assisted by Bishop F. D. Leete, Rev. C. B. Allen

and Rev. I. E. Springer. Mrs. Eugene Bresler most feelingly sang

the hymn of such blessed memory, in connection with Mrs. Gordon’s

sickness—“Jesus lover of my soul.”

Covered over with the beautiful floral offerings, the love tokens

of family and friends, all that was mortal of our sister was laid awayin the family lot in beautiful Grand Lawn Cemetery to await the

resurrection morn.

Thus there has passed from our sight, but not from our hearts, a

rarely beautiful and consecrated Christian life. Her life was a bless-

ing to the church during the fifty-eight years in which she as the

wife of a Methodist minister served her Lord and his church.

REV. HARRY GILLINGHAM

Rev. Harry Gillingham was born in Chettle, County of Dorset,

England, June 9, 1856. He lived with his parents until the age of

eighteen, when he emigrated to Canada. He settled in GoderichTownship, Huron County, Ontario, and was converted the same yearunder the labors of Revs. Laird and Smith, members of the LondonConference. Uniting with the Methodist Church, he was appointedclass leader and local preacher. In August, 1884, he moved to Sault

Ste. Marie, Mich., and through the earnest solicitation of friends waspersuaded to prepare for the ministry. He entered the Detroit Con-ference in the year 1891, and served the following charges: Hermans-ville, Pickford, L’Anse, Atlantic Mine and Rockland, removing to


fmum

Compton, Calif, in 1906. In 1908 he served as pastor of Madera charge,

Fresno District, for one year; returning to Compton, where he

made his permanent church home.He was married Dec. 19, 1894, in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., to Miss

Jennie Drummond. There were five children born of this union:

Robert Cameron, Otto Ninde, Gerald Stokes, Harry Raymond, andMargaret Grace.

Brother Gillingham heroically gave up his life by drowning in

the flood waters near Compton, Calif., Feb. 21, 1914, while endeavor-

ing to save those who were in danger.

The following account of the funeral is given by Rev. F. A. Leak:

“Sunday afternoon. Mar. 1, 1914, memorial services were held in

the M. E. Church, Compton. The church was crowded to almost its

capacity with friends and acquaintances of the deceased, a large num-ber coming from Wilmington to attend the services. The choir sang

so beautifully three of Brother Gillingham’s favorite hymns, and a

prayer was offered by Rev. Carey Willet of the Baptist Church.

Scripture reading by Rev. Evans of the Presbyterian Church, Wilming-

ton, a short sketch of Mr, Gillingham’s life was given by Rev. F. A.

Leak, pastor of the Methodist Church and Rev. E. Sedweek,a former

acquaintance and co-worker with Brother Gillingham in Detroit Con-

ference, spoke very beautifully of him and his past life. The service

closed with a tribute by Dr. H. W. Peck, Superintendent of the Los

Angeles district.”

The relation of the writer as a brother pastor on the same district

and later as his presiding elder, furnished the opportunities for a some-

what intimate acquaintance with Brother Gillingham. He was ever

a diligent, capable pastor and preacher. He studied his people and

their interests, and then, by earnest and wise efforts, brought things

to pass. Increased membership, revivals and improved church prop-

erty were evidences of his faith and industry on all the charges he

served in the Detroit Conference of which he is an honored member.Greatly improved church property at Atlantic Mine and a commodiousnew church edifice at Rockland are outstanding monuments of his tasteand industry. He was a true, genuine, manly man in all the relations

of life; and as a man of affairs generally. He could be depended upon.And his love for God and humanity is seen in that he gave his life tothe benevolent work of the Christian ministry and in the final act ofloving heroism in which he laid down his life. I loved him as a friendand brother and his sudden death gave me great sadness. I shallcherish his memory as a sacred treasure and will ever pray that God’sinfinite love may sustain the sorrowing, devoted wife and the splendidsons and little daughter, so full of future promise. “The path of sor-

row, and that path alone, leads to the land where sorrow is unknown.”

MRS. ANN ARTLEY GEE )

Mrs. Ann Artley Gee, wife of Rev. Alexander Gee of the Detroit

Conference, was born in Canton Twp., Wayne county, July 9, 1838

and died at her home in Ypsilanti, November 21, 1914 in the serenity

and ripeness of a beautiful Christian old age.

Sister Gee was the eldest of a family of seven children born to|

John and Alzina Artley, pioneers of the township of Canton. She was|

married to Rev. Alexander Gee, May 10, 1855 and at once entered up- 1

on the active life of an itinerant’s wife, sharing the joys and sacri- 1

tices of that most important station in the days when it involved much I

of hardship and called for sterling fidelity and heroism.

Brother and Sister Gee labored together in the regular work of

the ministry until 1878, when failing health compelled him to take a

superannuate relation. They lived first at Carleton, later at Pontiac,

where Brother Gee died in 1896 and then Sister Gee came to Ypsilanti

and lived with her daughter, Mrs. Mary Johnson, until her death

which followed a partial stroke of paralysis and a lingering period of

feebleness and trying helplessness. Sister Gee is survived by twoI

sons, Prof. Gee of the city schools of Detroit and Chas. Gee, editor in

Grandville, Mich, and Mrs. Mary Johnson, of Ypsilanti.

Sister Gee was a modest, quiet, lovable woman. She possessed

in high degree the simple, substantial graces of the Christian faith

and practice. She identified herself in hearty loyalty to such organi-

zations as the Women’s Missionary Societies and the Women’s Chris-

tian Temperance Union and above all to the church, which she loved|

with a deep and abiding love. i

The funeral services were conducted by Dr. Stalker, ofAnn Arbor,

in the absence of her pastor, Dr. Leeson, who was engaged in conduct-

ing another funeral. The interment was at Oak Hill cemetery in

Pontiac, beside the body of her husband,II. A. L.

CARRIE M. CLARKCarrie M. Clark, wife of Rev. N. Norton Clark, was born in Rich-

mond, Ohio, Aug. 17, 1844 and died at their home in Petersburg, Mich.^

Monday, Mar. 22, 1915. Sister Clark had been in failing health for

several years, but a rugged constitution had resisted and retarded the

encroachment of disease.

In 1910, after a long and successful ministry. Brother Clark en-

tered the retired ranks. A year or so later he built a very comfort-

able home in the village of Petersburg, where he had formerly served,

as pastor, and here the happy pair were enjoying a quiet eventide '

among old and cherished friends.


f

I At the time of their marriage Brother Clark was a merchant in

Ohio. Thence he entered Garrett Biblical Institute, graduating in

1872 and joining the Detroit Conference.

In the thirty-eight years of his active ministy, Sister Clark washis constant companion in labor abundant. She touched the life of

the church in all its manifold activities; and her touch blessed and helped,

while the parsonage home over which she presided in queenly grace

offered a hospitality which none who have enjoyed it can ever forget.

Two sons, Harlon G., of Petersburg and Mial V., of Detroit, survive

their mother. The intense and self-sacrificing devotion of mother to

sons and of sons to mother was notable.

The funeral service we held in the church of Petersburg, Mar. 26,

1916. Rev. T. B. McGee, a close friend of the family, gave the prin-

cipal address. Others assisting were Brothers Greenwood and Priest-

ley, the pastor, A. Balgooyan and the writer. The interment was at

Blissfield.

MRS. ELLEN J. CURTI8

May 16, 1914, in Petersburg, Mich., Mrs. Ellen J. Curtis, highly

respected, wâs called to rest. She w’as born in Nichols, N. Y., Oct.

’ 30, 1835. She was united in marriage April 18, 1877, by Rev. A. N.

Hazen to Rev. David A. Curtis, an honored member of the Detroit

' conference. This happy union was severed by his death March 5,

1905. Mrs. Curtis was a charter member of the W. C. T..U. of Peters-

I

burg, organized twenty-eight years ago. One month after the death

1of her brother, James Dunham, Mrs. Frances Hyers, a cousin resid-

ing in New York, came to her assistance, and tenderly and lovingly

gave her the best of care, which, wuth the ever ready hands of Mr.

and Mrs. Curtis Dunham, wâs a benediction even to the brink of the

grave. Mrs. Curtis was converted about forty years ago, identified

herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church and wâs faithful.

Her funeral wâs largely attended and an appropriate address was

given by Rev. D. H. Ramsdell, D. D., who in his early ministry wâs

one in the family. The following ministers acted as pallbearers, each

taking some part in the service: Rev. A. Balgooyan, Rev. N. Norton

Clark, Rev. T. A. Greenwood, Rev. J. S. Priestley, Rev. I. N. Wilson

and Rev. F. J. Clifford. All that is mortal now rests in Pleasant

View cemetery to wait the call of our Lord.

N. Norton Clark.


MRS. GRANT PERKINS

Life is not measured by years. Some who leave this world after

a brief stay bequeath impressions for good beyond the common meas-

ure. It was so with the subject of this sketch. Only a little morethan twenty-seven years were given to her on earth, but she so early

and so fully gave herself to the best pursuits that a multitude will

hold her memory sacred. Victoria McDaniel was born in Dallas, Texas

October 11, 1887, and at about her ninth year the family settled in’

Louisville, Ky., where she grew up. jShe was married to Rev. Grant Perkins, December 26, 1907 and

|went to grace the parsonage home of Trinity Methodist Episcopal

|church in Covington, Ky., where her husband was pastor. In Sep- 1

tember, 1909, they were transferred to Detroit conference and stationed I

at Onaway, where their two children, Paul Milburn and John Shep- f

herd, were born. In September, 1911, the conference appointment ?

placed them at Vassar, where two happy and useful years were spent.

In September, 1913, Orion became their field and here her work on

earth ended.

For about four years she had suffered from an ailment whichnecessitated surgical work in the fall of 1911, and a second operation

in January, 1915, which was followed a few days later by her death,

which occured at the Grace Hospital in Detroit, Wednesday, January

27, 1915.

Very early in life she gave her heart to God and became an active

worker in the Methodist Episcopal church. Her girlhood days werespent in the Junior League, the Queen Esther Circle, the EpworthLeague and the Sunday School. Her early womanhood found her ac-

cepting the uncertainties and responsibilities of the Methodist itiner-

ancy and in this, as in her other relations to the church, she was un-

swervingly faithful. She was a woman of culture and refinement and

a musician of rare ability. In her girlhood she served as organist in

all departments of the church to which she belonged, and at nineteen

years of age was called to preside at the great organ of the church of

which she was a member, where she handled the finest instrument in

the city. In her work as a pastor’s wife her exceptional musical tal-

ents were gladly and cheerfully given to the service of the church.

Her playing was the delight of all and her services were rendered

without affectation or desire for recognition or rew’ard. In spirit she

was as unaffected and simple as a child, pride, selfishness and self

assertion having no place in her thought. In her case artistic tastes

and attainments did not militate against a true and beautiful domes-

ticity, for as a wife and mother she was of the truest and best. Al-


though of slender build and often suffering, she was tirelessly Indus

trious and so full of cheerful courage as to inspire all about her with

the spirit of service. She seemed to be a stranger to fear, and whenshe found that she was going from earth before her husband and

mother could reach her, she simply said: “Tell them goodby, I amgoing,” and was gone.

Funeral services were held at Orion church January 28, in charge

of District Superintendent C. B. Allen, assisted by several other

ministers. The precious dust from which the gentle spirit had gone

was taken to Louisville, Ky., where a public service was held in her

home church and interment was made in the beautiful Cave Hill

cemetery.C. W. Baldwin.

MRS. C. A. LOHNES

The departure of Mrs. C. A. Lohnes from the parsonage home in

Gaylord, .June 23, 191.5, pained many hearts in many homes, where

with her husband she had ministered during a number of pastorates*

She was one of God’s blessed women, whose life was dedicated to the

high and holy task of making attractive and Christian the place where

the preacher lives. Always considerate of her husband’s mission, and

anxious to help him in every way, in a quiet and unassuming way she

made large contribution to the progress of the cause of Jesus, to whomshe had given her heart at nineteen years of age. For sixteen years she

and Brother Lohnes lived in sweet companionship. Some years after

the adopted daughter came to live with them, two children, a son and

and a daughter, were born to them, who with the husband now walk

in the shadow. She was brought to her old home in Dryden, w'here

she was married, and where she began her Christian life. The ser-

vices were held in the church, June 26. The superintendent of Flint

district, assisted by Brothers Wood, Perkins, Ward and Thomas, con-

ducted the burial service.

Because of the remembrance of her faith, her beautiful Christian

life, the promise and presence of her Saviour who had spoken to her

and to them of hope, home and heaven, it seemed but the coronation

of another of the queenly women who preside over the thousands of

Methodist parsonages over the world.

Our bereaved brother and his family have the sympathy and

prayers of his brother ministers in this great sorrow.

“Out of the shadows of night

The world rolls into light;

It is daylight everywhere.”A. B. L.

MRS. A. L. BUTLER

Mrs. A. L. Butler died at her parsonage home in Standish, May 3

1915, a short time after a serious operation, which at first appeared to

be successful. She had been sick only a few weeks and until a fewdays prior to her death it was not considered serious.

Mrs. Butler has endeared herself not only to members of the

churce of which her husband was pastor, but to all the people, for her

kind, gentle ways. She was an ardent Christian worker and a great

help to her husband.

Her maiden name was Frances Walton. She was born in Meta-

mora, February 25, 1881. After attending the local schools she grad-

uated from the central high school in Detroit. She was married to

A. L. Butler twelve years ago. She graced the parsonage with genuinewomanliness and sincere love. Only those who knew her best and

enjoyed her pure, sweet Christian life and unbounded faith in Godcan understat.d the loss.

After reading by Brother Bacon, of Midland and prayer by Alvin

Doten, of Long Rapids, the body was taken on the train to Thomas,her childhood home, where a short service was conducted by Brother

J. S. West and the writer. Burial in Oakwood cemetery.

MRS. NATHANIEL DICKIE

Margaret Her, wife of Nathaniel Dickie, our beloved brother in

the ministry, exchanged earth for heaven June 9, 1915, after a long

life of noble service and helpful ministry. Born on June 1, 1848, at

Essex, Ontario. She began a Christian career early, uniting with the

Methodist Church of Canada while yet a girl. It can be truthfully

said that her whole life was given to the Master and his church.

In 1872 she linked her life in love and inarriage to Nathaniel

Dickie then a minister of the Canadian Methodist Church. In 1883,

she accompanied her preacher-husband to Michigan where he united

with the Detroit Conference, beginning his work at Cass City. Withhim she bore the heat and burden of the day and fulfilled a long,

useful ministry.

Her religion was not a churchly thing, but shone with

brightness and cheer everywhere, particularly at the family hearth,

where her children could see its radiance and enjoy its beauty. Everyoung in spirit she was a companion to her daughters, sharing their

pleasures and hopes; she never outgrew her girlhood. Some three

years ago she was stricken with apoplexy, which caused her to be en-

Itirely dependent upon her family, who cared for her most tenderly.

Through the years of helplessness her spirit was patient, her faith

bright and her hope undimmed. In 1914, they came to Marine City,

Mich., where Brother Dickie purchased a home and where together

they rested and regaled themselves with the joys of a quiet life. Five

children blessed their union, two of whom awaited her in heaven and. three gave her comfort and companionship on earth : Mrs. F. W. Dakin,

Dansville; Mrs. J. D. Jackson, Vassar; Miss Neva Isa, Marine City.“ The funeral wa-i held at Marine City on June 11, where the inter-

ment took place. Brother Dickie and his family were greatly cheered

by the presence and words of brethren present at the funeral. Broth-

ers W. J. Balmer, W. B. Weaver, J. E. Mealley, W. E. Brown, S. Jen-

nings, W. M. Ward, C. E. Benson, B. E. Allen, H. Felton, Jr., J. E.

church and grave-side. Our brother bears himself with the courage* of a man of faith and is waiting patiently the coming of the morning

J when the Father will restore to him the beloved companion whose

(

departure leaves him lonely, but not comfortless.

NELLIE CLARK DUNNINGInto the eternal rest which God has prepared for them that love

Him, Nellie Clark Dunning has triumphantly entered. Life began

with her under the best of Christian surroundings. Her parents,

Stillman and Miranda Clark, were devout people. At nine years of

age she definitely gave Christ her heart. She carefully prepared her-

self for her life w'ork by attending the public schools near her home,

and later finished her education at Kalamazoo. From thence she

went out as a school teacher, and in this capacity was efficient, not

only as a teacher, but shed a radience among her pupils wffiich added

greatly to the building up of their character.

While teaching at Vernon, Shiaw assee county, she met and mar-

ried W. E. Dunning. Shortly after this event Mr. Dunning entered

the Detroit Conference. Through all the years of his ministry she

was his most efficient helper. Cultured in every w^ay, a keen reader

of human nature, intensely sympathetic and a woman of unusually

well balanced mind and a personality most pleasing, she proved to be


a most successful minister’s wife. After their retirement from active

work, her interest in the temperance, missionary and local church

activities was increasing. She was president of the W. C. T. U.‘ at

Albion and Perry, and also president of the W. F. M. S. at Perry. Her

chief legacy to her son and daughters is a great an'd loving mother-

hood, the remembrances of which cannot help but make an undying

impression upon them as the years go by: like Abel, she being dead,

yet speaketh.

The sentiments expressed in these brief words afford only a

glimpse into her radiant, white soul. She lived as the constant proof

of what Divine Grace coupled with a willing human heart can do.

We shall rejoice in that we were ever permitted to know her on

earth, and shall run our race with the greater patience because she

has entered the City of God.

REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF TRANSPORTATION.

The work of this Bureau has been eminently successful this

year. Every man has paid his assessments to date and weshall be able to close with a balance of $135.76. With economywe have been able to use a lower rate than formerly, and as in


former years have paid the traveling expenses of our RetiredBrethren. We confidently believe that our work has passedthe experimental stage and is now on a permanent basis. Werespectfully submit the following financial statement:

We, your committee beg to report that the Home Mission-

ary accounts of each of the District Superintendents, the ac-

counts of the Conference Treasurer, the Bureau of Transporta-

tion and the itemized accounts of the Financial Secretary havebeen audited and hereby certify that they are correct.

GRANT PERKINS,R. J. CHASE,JOHN RICHARDS.

SUPERANNUATED PREACHERS’ AID SOCIETY.

The Superannuated Preachers’ Aid Society was called to

order by President C. W. Baldwin at 11:45 o’clock, Thursdaymorning, September 16th, 1915 at the seat of the Detroit An-

nual Conference in First Church, Port Huron, Michigan. In

the absence of the Secretary-Treasurer, John Sweet. John E.

Mealley was elected Secretary pro tern. The report of the

Trustee’s Annual Meeting was read and its recommendations

were approved and adopted. The following officers were elect-

ed:

President. Luther E. Lovejoy; Vice-President, W. G. Nixon;

Secretary-Treasurer, C. W. Baldwin; Auditors, E. D. Dimond,

John E. Mealley; Investment Committee, C. W. Baldwin, J. E.

Jacklin, W. G. Nixon.


COMMITTEE ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

It is with much satisfaction that we note the following

facts. During the past four years the number of members re-

ceived into the Church from the Sunday School is more than100,000 in excess of the total increase in the membership of theChurch. In our own Conference, our Sunday School member-ship has, in the past year, increased 5,447.

We highly appreciate the attention given us by the SundaySchool Board of Chicago and assure them of our continuedhearty support. We would recommend better Sunday Schoolfacilities in our Church buildings, the training of an efficientcorps of teachers and the largest possible effort for the con-serving of the young life to the Kingdom of God.

REPORT OF PARSONAGE COMMITTEE.

We note with dissatisfaction that about 82 of the Chargesof the Conference have Parsonages and hope the percentagemay increase.

We wish to call the attention of the Churches to thenecessity of placing in the Parsonage the heavy furniture, sodifficult and expensive to move, and suggest that all Chargesmake a systematic effort to do so. We further suggest that theParsonage Committees of the local Churches make plans forParsonage furnishing covering a period of years, adding year byyear in intelligent and systematic manner the furniture it is

wise and possible to obtain.

REPORT OF THE DETROIT CONFERENCE DEACONESSBOARD.

Another year of the Deaconess work in the Detroit Con-ference has passed into history and it has been a good year, ayear of harmony and efficiency in all of the departments of ouractivities. The new administration under the direction of Su-perintendent Miss H. Sophie Sprague has been even more suc-cessful than we anticipated one year ago in our report. Thework is rapidly expanding. We have been forced to enlargeour quarters for the accommodation of our deaconesses. Thiscoming conference year we shall occupy both numbers' 40 and50 Selden Avenue and our force of workers will be considerablyincreased.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.

Realizing its importance in relation to the work of the

church and to the extension of Christ’s kingdom, we pledge the

continuance of our loyalty to the ideals and standards of Chris-

tian education historic in Methodism.

ALBION COLLEGE.We gladly note the continued and growing usefulness of

our own college at Albion and commend Albion College to our

young people and all Michigan Methodism. The addition to

the equipment by the new Physical Laboratory building now in

process of construction will open the way to still larger oppor-

tunities.

THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS.All three of our theological seminaries, “Drew,” “Garrett”

and “Boston,” report growing prosperity and wise plans for

the future usefulness in meeting the needs of candidates for the

ministry.

BOARD OF EDUCATION.1. The co-operation of our Board of Education with our

schools in standardizing curricula, faculties, plants, equipment

and endowment has been eminently helpful.

2. Its action at its recent annual meeting authorizing a

Director of Religious Work for our institutions of learning is

especially commendable.

I

I


3. Its thorough and far reaching “Survey” of educationalconditions throughout the country now in progress, promisesmuch for the Board’s coming semi-centennial forward move-ment.

4. The Children’s Day Collection, which has aided fromthe beginning 22,984 students—2,189 last year, and this year2,288—continues increasingly helpful and efficient.

5. We commend and approve the apportionment by theGeneral Conference Commission on Finance of the One PublicEducational Collection, 80 per cent at the order of the Confer-ence and 20 per cent for the Board of Education.

TRUSTEES OF ALBION COLLEGE.The terms of D. H. Ramsdell and D. M. Christian as Trus-

tees of Albion College expire at this time and we nominate astheir successors, respectively, for three years, D. H. Ramsdellof Ann Arbor, and A. F. Knobloch of Detroit.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE OLD PEOPLE’SHOME.

The past year has been the best one in the history of ourHome. Only one member of the family has died and sevennew ones have been received. Present number thirty-seven.

A detached addition, 74 feet by 36, two stories high, con-taining 24 dwelling rooms has been built at the south end ofthe main building, to which it is connected by a two story cor-ridor. It adds materially to the beauty and dignity of the Homeand greatly increases the capacity. The cost of this newbuilding is slightly above $18,000 and of this $15,500 has beensecured. For the means with which to furnish this new addi-tion we feel compelled to appeal to the women of our Confer-ence through their Aid Societies and we ask pastors to secondthis appeal.

We are constantly seeking to increase our EndowmentFund and have added to it since a year ago, gifts, legacies andother money to the amount of $4,000. It is now $36,500.

i Methodist Episcopal Church 493

The admission fees are kept in a fund separate from all

other funds and are used only to a limited and fixed per cent

yearly and are never exhausted until the respective membersI

of the family die. There is now in this fund $27,000.

The yearly expenses of the Home are about $7,000. A lit-

tle over $5,000 of this is obtained from admission fees and frominterest on Endowment funds and a little less than $2,000 fromChurch collections. Heretofore this current expense fund has

been overdrawn by amounts ranging from $1,000 to $1,600 at

the opening of our Conference Session and in no year, prior to

this, have the cash collections brought by pastors to Conference

been sufficiently large to offset this overdraft. The Home has' begun each year in the past with a handicap of debt. But this

year, at the opening of our present Conference Session, this

I fund was in arrears only about $900, and the Conference Treas-

! urer has in hand for the Home collections which foot up to‘ about $1,100. For the first time the home will begin a new

year without debt and with a small surplus.

The size of the Home family will be increased by one half

this fall; the expenses will be raised nearly proportionately;

in round numbers they will be $10,000. Our ability to provide

daily bread for 55 aged men and women will be severely strain-

ed. We ask our pastors and our churches to hold steady and

true in their support, for the time being, until the EndowmentFund can be duly strengthened.

The term of office of Trustees J. E. Jacklin, C. W. Baldwin,

C. B. Allen, D. H. Glass, H. T. Dennis and B. D. York expire

with this session of Conference and their re-election is recom-

Imended.

RESOLUTIONS.

1The Committee on Resolutions presented a suitable report

Iexpressing the gratification of the Conference in the presence

' and administration of Bishop Burt and the contributions of all

those who made the fine program of the week possible. It rec-

ommended the observance of a Memorial Day in the churches

in honor of our deceased ministers and a suitable decoration of

the graves of deceased members of the Conference.

The report called attention to the death of candidates for

the ministry of our church from our own families and pointed

out the need of a more liberal and secure compensation for the

service of the minister, in order that the church can commandits best young life for the leadership.

Complimentary words for the pastor. Rev. E. D. Dimond.

and all his co-workers in the fine entertainment of the Confer-

ence, were included in the report, which was presented by Rev.

J. G. Haller.

SOCIAL SERVICE AND MORAL REFORM.

The supreme mission of the church is to realize the King-dom of God on earth. While its method must always be that ofindividual regeneration, there is great reason to doubt the re-

ality of that personal piety which finds no expression in socialservice. The program of Jesus includes the salvation of busi-ness from baseness, of politics from pollution and society fromselfishness.

The social order is a divine institution. The state is notsecular but sacred. We therefore reaffirm our adherence tothe Social Creed of the churches as announced by our own Gen-eral Conference. The church of Christ must always be forsouls as against things, and sympathize with the spirit of thegreat social movement for restricting to just limits the right-ful rewards of capital and for conserving for public welfare thebounty of nature.

We are in sympathy with the legislative program whichincludes the conservation of natural resources, reduction ofhours of toil, workingman’s compensation laws, the fight againstoccupational disease, the abolition of child labor, safeguardingwomen in industrial employment and the recovery of one day’srest in seven for every toiler of whatever trade.

INTERNATIONAL PEACE.

As deciples of the Prince of Peace we are opposed to thatmost collossal of crimes—war. We denounce the policy of so-called preparedness as false and as for the most part promul-gated by those who are actuated by professional or commer-cial interests. We favor the creation of a World Tribunal towh’ch shall be submitted all questions of international dispute,and pledge anew our loyalty to the present national administra-tion in its high peace ideals, and the prophetic possibility ofsuch an exalted conception of nonresistance as shall be a finaldeath blow to the crime of war.

We plead for the larger observance and sanctity of theLord’s Day not only the keeping it from desecration by the un-godly but for its more faithful use by Christian people in loy-alty to the institutions of worship.

We pledge unrelenting warfare against the arch enemy ofall good institutions and purity of life—the legalized, open sa-loon. And concur in the findings of scientific investigatorsthat the only means of dealing with the social vice is its com-plete and final exterpation and the only final constructive pol-icy for the purity of the home and individual that of a revivalof a true family religion.

Signed, GEORGE ELLIOTT.


REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON CONNECTIONAL INTERESTS.

The Methodist Episcopal Church is thoroughly organizedfor the purpose of teaching and preaching the everlasting Gos-pel of our Lord Jesus Christ in the world.

The Board of Foreign Missions—The population of theworld is estimated to be fifteen hundred millions and one thou-

sand millions are still unevangelized. Never has the non-christian world been so responsive to the appeals of the Gos-pel as now. We must pledge ourselves anew to this work thatour church may worthily perform its part in world-wide evan-gelism. We recognize in the Women’s Foreign Missionary So-

ciety a valuable auxiliary agency in the Missionary enterpriseof the church.

The Board of Home Missions—In the Home Mission field

the need is urgent and the opportunity great. The Commissionon Evangelism has set a goal before the church in the recom-mendations concerning the forward movement. These recom-mendations are comprehensive, clear, and thoroughly in line

with the spirit of Methodism.

We recommend that each pastor and district superintend-ent give serious consideration to the movement, become famil-iar with its purposes and swing the church into step with this

march to the goal. The speediest way to evangelize the worldis to Christianize America.

The Freedman's Aid Society—The work of the Freedman’sAid Society has been carried on through the past year in twenty-two schools with 372 teachers, and 6,961 students. It has beena year of unusual difficulty and stress to the schools, becauseof special industrial conditions in the south. We therefore rec-

ommend that each pastor take special pains to present thework of the Freedman’s Aid Society to his congregation, and toobtain an increase in the collections over the preceding year.

The Board of Sunday Schools—We rejoice that our churchesare becoming more alive to the importance of training the childfor Christ and the church. We recognize the work of the Boardof Sunday Schools as a safe and inspiring leader in this greatwork.

We heartily commend the w'ork of our Deaconess Society.There are now 49 Deaconess Homes, 25 hospitals and 10 mis-sions; in these and other ways this society is doing a splendidwork in the towns and cities of our country.

The Book Concern has prospered during the year and has’declared a dividend of three hundred thousand dollars. Werecommend to our preachers and people a renewed and increas-ed loyalty to the publications of our own house.

We congratulate the publishing agents on being awardedtwo prizes at the Panama Exposition, one for quality and work-manship in binding and printing, and the other for the qualityand circulation of Sunday School supplies.

7


We rejoice that it is the aim of the Conference to create

an endowment fund of $250,000.00 for the support of our Confer-ence Claimants.

Respectfully submitted by the Committee,

GEORGE HILL,GEO. W. OLMSTEAD,B. E. ALLEN.

REPORT OF EPWORTH LEAGUE COMMITTEE.

Your committee is pleased to report a most gratifying

growth in League interests and membership throughout the

Conference.The Epworth League is our best field for the training of

leaders. And from its circle of activity we draw recruits for

the Ministry and for our Official Membership. The EpworthLeague Institutes and Conventions have proven to be of great

value in promoting League efficiency. The Junior phase of ourwork merits the attention of our ministers.

A campaign now under way to solicit the interest andaid of Michigan Epworthians in the work of the Lunda Field

in central Africa, which is directed by Dr. and Mrs. J. M.Springer is earnestly commended to our pastors as a great op-

portunity for developing the Missionary activity of our youngpeople.

The Official Journal of our Young People’s Society, the

Epworth Herald, is a publication which may be made of great

worth to all of our Epworth Leagues, and w^e respectfully sug-

gest that attention be given to its circulation among our people.

“The Win-my-chum Movement” wall inaugurate a twoweeks’ campaign in November, wdiich wull be of such import-

ance that w^e respectfully urge that our churches fall into line

with the movement. Its opportunity as a soul-winning cam-paign will be of incalculable value in the training of our youngpeople.

THE FORWARD MOVEMENT, which is to be conducted in

our Church in 1915-1916, and w^hich has set for its goal 250,000net gain in membership, 500,000 enrolled in Time Legion and1,000 young people dedicated to special Christian service as alife work, is a movement demanding the utmost co-operationof our pastors.

We urge the pastors to secure the necessary literature forthe promotion of this movement among the young people suchas “Time Legion and Life Covenant Pledge Cards” and otherspecial publications from the Commission on Evangelism.

OUR SUCCESSdepends largely upon the loyalty of our

pastorsand people to the publications of the

BOOK CONCERN which according to the

AWARDS AT THE PANAMA EXPO-SITION are the very best in Editorial matter

and quality published.

The Graded Lessons are growing in popu-

larity and deserve the attention of every

up-to-date Sunday School.

We do not confine ourselves to supplying the

publications of our house in Books, eis we keep

on hsuid constantly a large stock of out-

side publications and shall be pleased to get

any book not on hand at the publisher’s list price

or less.

Remember that every order you send us,

whether of our own or other publications, adds

to the profits of the Book Concern and

E FURN ITU RECOUP-

depends largely upon the loyalty of our

pastors and people to the publications of the

BOOK CONCERN which according to the

AWARDS AT THE PANAMA EXPO-SITION are the very best in Editorial matter

and quality published.

The Graded Lessons are growing in popu-

larity and deserve the attention of every

up-to-date Sunday School.

We do not confine ourselves to supplying the

publications of our house in Books, as we keep

on hand constantly a large stock of out-

side publications and shall be pleased to get

any book not on hand at the publisher’s list price

or less.

Remember that every order you send us,

whether of our own or other publications, adds

to the profits of the Book Concern and

helps to increase the dividends for the

benefit of the superannuated ministers.
