a small church at Borden with no members and has been closed for 8 years. It has been reopened and repairs have been made to the building. Rev. Virgil S. Carter is the pastor.

INTERIM APPOINTMENTS

FLORENCE DISTRICT: After the transfer of Rev. J. S. Coltier to the East Tennessee Conferenc-:, Rev. J. W. Heyward was assigned to the Sc•llers Charge. He is b2ing assisted by Rev. Woodrow Singletary.

SUMTER DISTRICT: Rev. W. E. Keels was appointed to the McBee Charge.

SPIRITUAL ACHIEVEMENTS

Many persons have been baptised, trained and received into the churches on profession of faith, restoration of membership and transfer of membership from other denominations and other Methodist Churches; for all of this, we thank God, our Heavenly Father, and Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Finally, my friends, as wt· conw to the closL: of another conference y:.:ar, we count not ourst•lves to havl' apprehended: but this one thing we do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are bt-fore. We press toward tlll' mark for tlw prizp of tlll' high calling of God in Christ Jesus .Pn·senting our bodies as living sacrifices, holy, acct>ptable unto God. which is our reasonable service. As we re-pledgL' ourc;elvvs to God in all areas of life, that his Kingdom may coml•, and that His will may bl' dorn° 011 earth as it is done in heaven, may The Soul-Winner's Prayer by Eugene M. Harrison become the watch words for Pach of us.

1. Oh, givP me Lord, Thy love for souls, For lost and \vand'ring sheep,

That I may see tlw multitude.s And wcl'p as Thou didst weep

I. Help me to see the tragic plight Of souls far off in sin;

Help me to love, to pray, and go To bring the wand'ring in.

3. Take thou some flaming coals,

From off the altar of Thy heart To touch my life and give me, Lord,

A heart that's hot for souls.

4. O Fire of Love, 0 Flame Divine, Make Thy abode in me;

Burn in my heart, burn evermore, Till I burn out for Thee.

Respectfully submitted for the District Superintendents, W. M. Stokes.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF LAY ACTIVITIES

Bishop Bowen, Ministers -and Laymen uf the South C_arolina Conference, I am happy to have this privilege of rnak111g my third report for our Board of Lay Activities. As chairman of the board I have tried to work very closely with the members of the board, the ministers, and laymen of the conference. I have attempted to interpret the program of the church to the laymen with the hope that they may develop a greater spirit of Christian

Stewardship

I am grateful tu you, Bishl,p Bowen, to tlw District Superintendents to the ministl•rs, and to the lay:nen who have made it possible

1

for me to serve in this capacity, I do hope that I have made some contribution to the promotion of tht· program of

our conference.

As a nwmlll'r of tlw Atlanta Regional and the National Committees of Missionary Personnel of the Board of Missions, I have had the privilege of attending three regional meetings in Atlanta, three n:.:jonal meetings in New York City and the Annual Meeting of thL Board of Missions at Buck Hill Falls, Pa. I also attended the Arca Council at Tuskeegee, Ala. The opportunities to attend and participate in tlwse meetings have gi\ 2n me a greatC'r appreciation and a better knowledge of the work of our great church. As a result of these contacts I am in a better position to evaluate what we -as laymen are doing in the South Carolina Conference and to telp in the planning of a more constn,ctive program for the future.

In the S. C. Conference, I have attended and participated in the Conference on Missions held at York, S. C., the Ar..nual Conference Program Committee meeting and the meeting of the

METHODIST CHURCH

Commission on World Service and Finance held at Sumter, S. C. I have worked wifo the ministers and laymen and participated in retreats and institutes on five districts during the year. I have also had the privilege of visiting churches and speaking to gr.oups of laymen on all six districts during this conference year.

We held our first Conference-wide Laymen's Retreat at Claflin College, June 20-22, 1958 and were fortunate in having addresses delivered by the Rev. M. D. McCollom of Trinity Methodist Church, Orangeburg, S. C., Dr. W. Earle Wilson, Conference Lay Leader of the Georgia Conference, Dr. Hubert Touchstone of the General Board of Lay Activities, and our own Bishop J. W. E. Bowen, whose presence gave dignity and inspiration to our retreat. We are indeed grateful for the services rendered by these men and for the services rendered by our District Superintendents; District and Associate District Lay Leaders, who helped in the planning of the program, and some of whom served as group leaders in the discussion groups.

Even though the attendance at tte retreat was not as large as we had haped, we feel that the retreat was a successful venture, and we are planning now for a second retreat next summer, at which time we are planning to double the attendance. We are asking for your cooperation in helping us to make this retreat a meaningful occasion for the laymen of our conference . The persons who attended the retreat have all exprsseci their pleasure in hiving had this opportunity and have requested that it be held again next summer.

The Board of Lay Activities in its annual meeting on September 20, decided that the five points program, under which we worked this year, should be continued during 1959. Therefore the board has adopted the follJwing objectives for its program of 1958-59:

1. A Laymen's Retreat or institute on each district (D.i~trict Lay Leader and District Superintendent responsible).

2. Putting our Methodist Men's Clubs to work. (a) Make a survey of the most urgent needs of your church

and community. (b) Accept some specific tasks as your goal for the year.

3. · Make an "Every Member" canvas of your church to find our:

(a) The financial contribution of the members toward the support of the church.

(b) Persons available for use in the services of the church. ( c) Talents available for use in the services of the church.

4. The raising of our budget 100%.

5. A Conference Laymen's Retreat. The board received $152.00 through the Lonference in 1957

for the suppo:rt of its works; in 1958 it received $262.00. It is appearent that if we are to do the job that needs to be done among the laymen of the conference, we must find new sources of support. Upon a suggestion made by Bishop Bowen, at our Laymen's Retreat, and the approval of this .suggestion by the cabinet, and by the commission on World Service and Finance, the asking of the Board of L&y Activities was lifted out of the regular conference budget.

The Board of Lay Acti",ities in session September 20, made the following recommenC:ations. That the Conference Board of Lay Activities be permitted to raise its fund for Promotion and Cultivation through the District Boards of Lay activities; That each District be responsible for an amount equal to an average of $5.00 per Charge, to be apportioned to each Church Lay Leader by the District Lay Leader, under the direction of the District Superintendent. The District Lay Leader shall senci a copy of thi apportionment given to the Charge Lay Leader to the Pastor. The Church Lay Leader shall remit the amount raised to the District Lay Leader and he under the direction of the District Superintendent shall remit the same to the Conferrnce Treasurer. The Church Lay Leader shall give the pastor a record of the amount raised and remitted.

H. D. Smith was nominated by the board for Conference Lay Leader for the Conference Year 1958-59. The following officers were elected: Mr. S. T. Middleton, Vice Chairman; Mr. C. M. Green, Secret&ry; Mr. G. A. Adams, Treasurer; and Mr. E. H .. Jones, Reporter.

Finally, we wish to express our sincere appreciation for the very fine spirit of cooperation exhibited by the ministers and laymen throughout the conference this yf:'ar. We ask for your continued cooperation and prayers as we strive to carry forward this work of kingdom building.

Respectfully submitted, H. D. Smith Conference Lay Leader.

REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MISSIONS


THE METHODIST CHURCH

During the Conference year now closing, tht> Conference Board of Missions moved forward with appreci&ble success in the discharge of its duties with the encouragement and help of the resident Bishop and the District Superintendents.

Two meetings of the Board, and three of the executive committee were held this year. At each of the.se meetings attention was given to church extension needs, and to consider how the Board might best follow through on the recommendations adopted at the last session of the Annual Conferen~e.

Church Extension

The Conference Board of Missions has made donations in varying amounts to several Ch irches across the Conference. With the help coming from the Board some Churches have been completed and others are under construction.

The Board observPs that more and more the Local Churches are realizing the wisdom of relying on the services of the Church Extension Section of the Division of National Missions for technical assistance when they go about to build new churches.

Conference on Missions

Through tlie Conference on Missions conscientious efforts were made to list available resources in regard to the Conference and general Boards of Missions, and to determine how these re~ources can best serve to implement the general aims of the Methodist Program of Missions.

The paramount concern of the Conference was the interpretation of the Methodist Program of Missions in a way that is understandable and meaningful to the individual and groups to whom the work of missions has been committed on the Conference, District and Local Church planes.

Recommendations

(1) That the Churches provide classes to study the current mis-

METHODIST CHURCH

The Board of Education and its workers express their sincere thanks and appreciation to our Bishop, District Superintendents, Pastors and Laymen for their cooperation and sympathetic understanding as relates to the program of Christian Education in the South Carolina Conference for the year 1957-58. Through your interest and efforts many accomplishments have come about. Among them, the most outstanding is a deeper appreciation for what the program is supposed to do.

There were held in the conference the following leadership enterprises. An accredited Christian Workers SchooJ in the Mount Zion Methodist Church at Kingstree Jan. 20-31, 1958; an accredited Christian Workers School at Centenary Methodist Church at Charleston on March 10-21, 1958. These were and are a credit to the Charleston District and its District Superintendent and the workers involved. The School of Missions held with Mather Academy at Camden, June 24-28, 1958. There were held on the conference level our usual Annual Youth Assembly, our Young Adult Summer Conference. At all of these we were able to give cards of progress. This speaks well for the degree our workers are becoming accredited in their work. More than 300 cards were given in enterprises this year.

It is interesting to note the interest being taken by all of the districts in this phase of the local church program. Our hope is, that, all of them will look forward to accredited work within their bounds. This we feel is the only way to really get into the local church.

We wish to express our appreciation to Silver Hill, Lamar and Cumberland for attempting and carrying out local church training classes. We wish for more of this.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That special attention be given to Race Relations Sunday, Methodist Student Day and Church School Rally Day.

That Methodist Student Day funds be sent to the conference treasurer to be sent by him to the General Board of Education for Student Loan Fund.

That Church School Rally Day be observed and funds sent to the conference treasur2r. This will be the means of support-

-67-


ing the work of christian education in our conference. That this

day be observed April 19, 19'59.

That World Service Sunday which the fourth in each month be used for educational purposes as well as fund raising.

That our students in high school be encouraged to attend Clafl:n College and that names and addresses be sent to the

college.

That Preparation be made in the beginning of the year for district and local church programs of christian education.

Respectfully Submitted by Dr. H. V. Manning, President Warren Jenkins, Exl:cutivL' Secretary

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE BOARD OF

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS

"AS METHODISTS WE HA VE AN OBLIGA:TION TO AFFIRM OUR POSITION ON SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC RELATIONS." These words are a q:.10tation from the METHODIST SOCIAL CREED. In an equally positive statement our Church says: THE METHODIST CHURCH MUST VIEW THE PERPLEXING TIMES AND PROBLEMS WHICH WE FACE TODAY IN THE LIGHT OF THE TEACHINGS OF JESUS. JESUS TAUGHT US TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBORS, AND SEEK JUSTICE FOR THEM. TO BE SILENT IN THE FACE OF NEED, INJUSTICE, AND EXPLOITATION IS TO DENY HIM.

.. SINCE JESUS DlED FOR THE REDEMPTION OF HUMAN LIFE, WE BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD LIVE TO HELP SAVE MAN FROM SIN AND FROM EVERY INFLUENCE WHICH WOULD HARM OR DESTROY HIM."

In the light of the abo\',' affirmations of our great Church, your board of social and economic relations has gone forward during the year :o implement its concern for the family, for economic life, for Christian vocations, for the use of intoxicants and narcotics, for the treatment of crime, for war and peace for civil libertif:s and civil rights, and for racial segregation' and discrimination. During the year an annual meeting was held on a conference-wide basis conjointly with the conference board of

missions. This meeting was held at our church in York, of wriich the Reverend C. Jasper Smith is pastor. It was attended by more than one hundred persons from across the conference, and employed leadership from the conference, the general board o~ missions, the Southeastern Jurisdiction, and the Congress of Racial Equality. Out of funds appropriated to the board by tlw

conference scholarships were given to persons chosen by lhe District Superintendents. The board of social and economic relations therefore expresses its appreciation to the rnnfrrence and the board of missions, to pastor Smith and the good peopll' of York, to the District Superintendents and all others who contributed to the success of thl' conference. On seven othei' district or sub-district occasions, tlw chairman of the board spoke on

Christian social concerns.

Recommendations for 1958-1959:

l. That where local churches have had significant diffindty

in organizing for effective emphasis on Christian social relations, the local church committees on social and economic relations,

temperance, and world peace be combined to form a Commission on Christian Soci&l Relations. This will c1ttracl better

ieadership and provide a wide range of interest.

~- That a joint meeting of the confl'renc~· boards of social

and economic relations, temperancl', and world peace be held during the year in some location too small to accommodate tlw annual conference, thus giving smaller communities opportunity

to sec the church i11 action.

3. That our members and rnnstituents be vrl<'ouragcd and

instructed to register and voll>, to support organizations and agencies which promote Christian social concerns. such as tlw NAACP and the Southern Regional Council, and to L•mploy al:

moral means in the promotion of Christian citizenship.

COMMISSION

The Gospel of Jesus Christ has a message for the world.

--69-

·t .


In order for this message to reach the ends of the earth, the Master said, "Go ye into all the world and preach my go.spel. .. "

We feel that it is the mission of the Christian Church in fulfilling the Lord's command to tell the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ to all people everywhere. In order for this to be done we your Commission on Television, Radio, and Film encourage the use of mass communications media.

We recommend:

1. That where possible the pastors take part in local radio and television devotional programs.

2. That radio-visual education materials be used in the local church to make more vivid, and bring to life the Word and the interpretation of the Scriptures.

3. That the local church set as goa.l to be reached when possible and feasible the purchase of materials for audie-visual aids such as projectors, etc.

4. That where possible and advisable District Superentendents use visual aids for promotion and cultivation.

5. That each church receive an offering one Sunday during the coming conference year for the Methodist Television Ministry, and forward the same to the conference treasurer marked for the Commission on Television and Radio.

REPORT OF THE CONFERENCE BOARD

OF TEMPERANCE

"Against the confused moral judgments of our day with respect to drinking and the liquor traffic, the Methodist Church lifts the clear voice of th~ Christian conscience. The teaching of Christ emphasizes, as one of its basic principles, the sacredness

of each human personality. The use of alcoholic beverages impairs the f :.mctions of the body and of the mind. It slows perception and judgment. It delays reaction. It not only impairs physical health but, more important, impairs the tenderness of conscience. It deteriorates character. We are stewards of our bodies. We are stewards of an ability to think straight. Anything which blights and destroys personality is fundamentally opposed to the gospel of Christ. We therefGre stand for the principle of total abstinence from the use of alcoholic beverages of any kind. Our people should regard abstinence an essential part of witness to the faith we profess and as loyalty to the high ideals for ~.vhich our church stands."

Par. 2022, Discipline of 1956.

Pursant to the implementation of the above-stated principles of our great church on a conferenct level, your board of temperance set out at the beginning of the year to strengthen the conference organization by appointing in each district a Distriot Director of Temperance. Aikmpts have bce11 made to effect organization on the local church level in each district.

During the past year fo,,ir of the six appointed District Directors haw been very active. With the help of the Bishop and District Superintendents, interest in this good work has not lagged. We sent one delegate to the National School on Law Enforcement in Washington, D. C. and five delegates to the Regional Briefing Conference for Temperance Leaders which was held at Lake JunaL!ska, North Carolina. Representatives of the board of tempennce appeared at four district meetings and presented the cause of tempt•rance during the past year. Appreciation is hereby expressed to those who made it possible for our representatives to appear.

The following prcp•Jsals an· set forth as part of the program of temperance for the confu-ence for the ensuing year:

1. That, where local churches have had significant difficulty in organizing effectively for a temperance emphasis, tl'e local church comm;ttet:•s of world peace, social and economic relations, and temperance be combined into a Commission on Christian Social Relations. This will attract better leadership ?.nd provide a wide range of interest.

2. That those who plan district-wide meetings provide for

--71-

j ''


the presentation of the cause of Christian social concerns on their programs.

3. That a wider use be made of the materials provided by the genera'. boards of the church in the dissemination of information concerning these causes.

4. That institutes, seminars, work-shops, a.,d lectures bf' held on all possible level., for the imple,"'1entation of Christian social concerns. •

5. That delegates be sent to regional and national schools on temperance and related concerns.

The board solicits the interest and co-operation of all who call themselves Christian, and suggests that its effectiveness in the future will depend upon your prayers, your participation, and your financial support.

Respectf1..dly submitted A. R. HJward, Chairman M. D. McCollom, Secretary.

WORLD PEACE

Bishop Bowen, Members of the South Carolina Conference, and Friends:

We, your committl·e on World Peace, p1·ayerfully submit fur your consideration in our frail efforts to present our views on this most eminent qw·stion "world peace". Isaiah had to deal with troubled people of his day. baiah alwc1y3 assel'lc'd the truth that the future is safr in the hands of God. We note that man's trouble and security !Dday are of his own a, it were in the day of Isaiah.

It is e~tablished in the historiL•s of the' world from time immemorial; mankind has been conLnuously engagt'd with his fellowmen in wars of various nature and degrees, y:'t we find that wars have absolutely failed to bring about or established world peace.

For it appears that peace cannot be secured or maintained through implements of war. The League of Nations, The Hague Conference or even our present United Nations have n1t been able to meet thr requirements of world peace. T0 establish

world peace, it must come through the hearts of men and nations who have accepted God as our Father, Man as our brother. If a man is to see the doom of evil and the day of the Lord, he will have to be more than a sp2ctator sitting in an arm chair giving advice. There must be action and participation as well as faith and trust. The future is safe in the hands of God, but is our future safe when we forget, neglect and make social St'curity a subsititute for eternal security. Every day m::iny enter through the open door way of medicine and thousands of lives are saved . Scientists push through the open door of scientific discovery and announce underdreamed wunders to the world. Almost hourly through open doors of industry new style and ne:w types of airplanes, new trains, automobile:, and other new inventions astonish us. But there is one door man hesitates to open as widely as they should. This door is the door of peace and understanding among nations. Above all - God wants mankind to pass through this door and enter upon the path way tu peace.

No one can shut this door that HE has openr·d. The great leaders and wise followers are those who are doing all to help others enter into life abundant. This can be done through the door God has opened long since in the person of Christ .Jesus, Our ·Lord. The world is still in tlw shadow of war. We may describe it as being either ''hot" or "cold" war. All this may be attributed to the fact that our attitude:; toward our fellowman are still on the negative side. We are still in the debate over race,i, color, and creed. We just do not seem to realize that there is only one God and we still are all children of God. Peace can come only if we know God in the pardon of our sins. Ji WJrld peace is to come on eaPth, it will not come by the use ot Material swords; it will as a result of tlw ust· of the sword of the spirit which is found in the word of God.

Your board is aware of the needs and sensitiveness to the Macedonia Call for help, we are willing to do o:..ir best to answer these calls.

OBJECTIVES FOR 1959

1. To continue the effort of getting Christian commitments to world peace goal.

2. To educate the general public on the work of the United Nations through conferences and seminars.

-73-


3. To provide for the church program for peace and esi:ential promotional materials.

4. To inform the U. S. government and the United Nations of the Peace Policies of the Methodist Church.

STATEMENT OF THE S. C. CONFERENCE

ON THE QUESTION OF CHRISTIAN RACE

RELATIONS AND CITIZENSHIP

The Methodist Church in its official pronouncements on Christian Social Relations is clearly and positively in favor of abolishing discrimination and segregation on the basis of race, color, or national orgin. In on,· of it:. unwavering affirmations it states: "We join other pl'ople of good will around the world in moving toward the day when all races shall share richly without discrimir,ation or segregation in the good things of life." (Par. 2026, Discipline of 1956).

We hereby reassert our concurrence with and loyalty to the principles enunciated by our general church. To do otherwise

-77-

.,


would be to repudiate our faith in the vitality of both christianity and democracy.

We threfore call upon our Ministers and lay folk in positions of leadership to promote such programs as will enhance the level of citizenship among our members and constituents. Let this be done in the spirit of love, lest the c:ause of Christ s.1ffer at our hands - but let it be done'

'l'he following is suggested as a mm1mum program for a local church in the promo-tion of Christian Citizenship:

1. Interpret from the pulpit and otherwise the relevance of the Christian Gospel to the social and political issues of our day.

2. Conduct a good citizenship emphasis which will result in the registration to vote of every qualified member and constituent.

3. Co-operate with all organizations and agencies which promote christian social concerns.

4. Where recent court decisions have erased discriminatory practices, encourage all to avail themselves of the advantages which accrue to them as a n·sult thereof.

M. D. McCollom, Chm., Bd. of Social and Economic Relations.

RESOLUTIONS

Bishop J. W. E. Bowen, District Superintendents, Ministers, conference Lay Members and friends of the South Carolina Conference;

Whereas, the revealing trend of time permits us to assemble in another Annual Conference, and whereas, we have assembled in this church of rich historie1ty, unbiased zeal and mspiration have come to us through patience teaching and profound disciplinary and strong executive helpfulness of lasting purity from our Bishop, and whereas the recognition and feasible acceptance of these values are potent in our minds; whereas the official constituency of this conference, laity and ministerial membership, go on record as adopting, studying and following these tentative values to the extent of daily continuance in them.

-78-

METHODIST CHURCH

And whereas, we know that it is the superb executive procedure, set forth by our Bishop which produces a drawing card of world wide distinguished visitations, and whereas, we beheld many of them during our conference sessions, namely, Dr. T. B. Echols, The General Board of Pensions, Dr. S. Marion Weeks, Associate Secretary of the American Bible Society, Dr. Harry V. Richardson President of Gammon Theological Seminary, Dr. E. T. Dixon and Dr. J. S. Thomas, The General Board of Education, Dr. L. S. Allen, Editor, Central Christian Advocate, Dr. 0. R. Reubin, President, Morris College, Dr. M. L. Harris, President, Philander Smith College, Dr. Dennis Fletcher, The Board of Missions, Dr. Ratna Sudershanam, native e:f India, now employed at Morris and Claflin Colleges and also the beloved wife of our dear Bishop, Mrs. J. W. E. Bowen and ministers and friends from the following Conferences, GL•orgia, Flordia, Mississippi, and North Carolina, Dr. R. Wright Spears and Dr. E. Clayton Calhoun, dynamic leaders in religious education, who pictured to us the concrete meaning of translating our ideals of religion into the realities of world order, law, economic justice and racial brotherhood, threfore be it resolved that Wl' extend to them a vote of thanks.

We know in attending Annual Conference Sessions it takes culture, housing, food and finance to adequately care for the conference. Be it resolved that the ability to do this has been demonstrated by the pastor, dis\rict superintendent and members of Emmanuel Church, the ehurchl's of the city and friends, the press, through the co-operation of the mayor as they meted unto us the best of their domesticity and unlimited hospitality, to this end be it resolved that we extend to them with the greatest of felicity imaginable a vote of thanks.

Be it further resolved that we go on record remembering and perfecting the very fine leadership our Bishop has given us.

Respectfully submitted C. F. Ferguson, Chairman B. J. Cooper, Secretary.

WELCOME ADDRESS

Bishop Bowen, Ministers and Wives, Ladies and Gentlemen, the meeting a Methodist Annual Conference means more than one can possibly tell. There is no way to estimate the good done

-79-


during the year as these men of God have faithfully performed their several duties in the community where they ha.ve lived and labored.

The assembling of an Annual Conference is an event of peculiar interest. It means much to the Ministers themselves for they have an opportunity to get together socially, it binds them together as nothing else can do. It means a great deal to be a member of such a great brotherhood, and Methodism believes in a real spiritual brotherhood, and, and Annual Conference is an opportunity to make such a brotherhood more real.

Seeing the facts as I do, I want to say that we welcome you for what you are, for you are more to us than any other body of men.

We welcome you for what you have done for Missions at home and abroad

We welcome you with pleasures for it was here that Bishop Bowen held his first Annual Conference, so we feel that he went out from Emmanuel and is now back to give an account of his stewardship.

You are welcome to our homes and all the nice things that have bL•en prepared for you. This is a Welcome Church and you are welcome.

Mrs. E. L. Jamison

RESPONSE

Bishop Bowen, Honored guest, Fellow Comrades or the Cross, Ladies and Gentlemen:

I deem it an honor to reprL•sent the church on this noble occasion. The Church as we have it today is the result of a long drawn order of struggle, persecution and affliction. For i,s cause men suffered, bled and died to perpetuate its stream of moral and sp:ritual goodness.

Moses on the plains of Midian heard the call of God at the burning bush to go speak to Pharoah and to tell him, that God said, "Let my people go."

In our confused world with our civilization as it is, if it is

worth saving, the Church will save it.

The Church went into the lions den with Daniel, into the furnace of fire with the Hebrew children, to Mt. Carmel with Elijah, into the Catocones of ancient days and to the cross with Christ and came through victorious.

We accept with sincere gratitude your kind words of welcome and pray that our stay here will be a benediction both to yo:1 and us. May God ever bless and keep you.

A man is born naked and bare He comes into a world of trouble and care

He leaves this world and goes God knows where But, if you do well here, you will do well there.

G. C. Brown

W. S. C. S. PRESIDENT

The South Carolina Conference Woman's Society of Christian Service, closed a successful year in many respects. Under the wise council of our Resident Bishop, the sympathetic and understanding District Superintendents, our cooperative and loyal Ministers, Wt' have moved forward.

Although we find some satisfaction in what has been done, we are striving in the days ahead, as one of the Conferences comprising the Central Jurisdiction:

-Increase needed funds to carry on the Christian enterprise and the projects sponsored by the Woman's Division in the thirty two countries around the world .

-Continue to hold up to our youth of today the challenge of a Christian Vocation, encouraging them to enter full-time service as missionaries and deaconesses.

-Become better acquamted withe projects and institutions that are supported by our societies. Especially knowing more about those located within the boundries of our own Conference, Bethlehem Center, Spartanburg, also Bethlehem Center, Columbia, which has recently completed a modern recreation building and Browning Home and Mather Academy, Camden. This school seeks through its curriculum and program of activities

-81-


to provide an education for youth under wholesome, Christian

influence.

These projects under the auspices of the Board of\ Missions of the Methodist Church of which the Woman's Division of Christian Service is a part, are worthy of our missionary interest and support.

The Challenge calls for all of us to work harder for the sake of Christ and His cause. We want to worl: harder for people, all people and for our own integrity as we strive to measure up to our opportunities and responsibilities.

Mrs. G. C. Brown

A SQUARE DEAL

FOR

THE RETIRED MINISTERS

It is rather troublesome to recall that The Methodist Church was very slow in waking up to the obligation it owes to its retired ministers, and the widows of its ministers. Several of the major Denominational groups in the United States have far outstrippld us in their matured plans for honorably taking c/lre of their retired ministers. We ar~ now approaching the period when increased cost of living is presenting a very grave question of these aged m('n and their wives who have given the very best of all their lives to the service of the churches. I have a distinct feeling that some of us who carry official relationship to the church; Bishops, District Sup.crintendents, Pastors in active relationsh'p and members of our official boards have not done too well in publicizing what ought to be one of our choicest avenues of expressing devotion of the church in the main, when a man solemnly devotes himself to the work of God, the advancement of the church, and the helping of his fellow men. He p"Jts al! thought of financial gain behind him. He does it with due deliberation. He knows that by the invariable rul2 of the law of averages his stipened throughout his life will be far below that which other professional men are accustomed to reclive, and the woman that he marries knows it also, and yet with faith and courage and confidence they move in the work of ministry serving in succession the country circuit, the small

time church, and only very rarely a commanding city pulpit. Almost always, they tread the path of sacrifice. Repeatedly the minister and his wife are compelled t0 deny their children much that other families can give freely.

The minister is invariably a lover of God and a friend of man. Let trouble of any sort come into a community the minister is called to bring what measure of help he can. If sorrow descends upon a home, the minister with faith in his heart and quietness and confidence in his mind, comes to that home and brings with him in full measure the consolation that only Almighty God can give.

He is the intimate confidant of many of young men and young women in the co:nmunity. He inspires a young boy to go to college and then to medical school. Or he inspires young women to enter the nursing profession and in value and devotion she gives an extraordinary account of herself in Bataan and places like unto it the world over. He preaches passionately about a world being won for the Son of God, and his own son or his own daughter becomes a student volunteer and in due season enters service as a good soldier of Jesus Christ in far off China or stormcd-tosst:d India.

His hands are rarely quiet; there is always something that has to be done. His heart is 1WVL'r at re.st; He must always climb a little higher on that golden ladder which reaches from the heart of humanity to the very heart of God. Inevitably he has heartaches and disappointments and, though he nl'ver shows it in the pulpit, despondency sometimes possesses him, b:.it when he stands in God's stead in the House of God, it is always with that message of hope and courage which his people need. He has been the agent of the Holy Spirit in changing the lives of scores of men and women who otherwise would have been spiritually bankrupt.

Having poured himself into these human and divine activities during all days of his strength, it seems only fair play that the church in loving fashion should ungrudgingly take care of him, when he has been placed in the retired relation. I make a very earnest plea to every Methodist heart that reads this word of mine today that they deal more generously, far mon: generously, wi.th the men who have served them at the altars of God and the wives of these men who have been their comfort and main-stay through the long years of life.

WOMAN'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE

ACCOUNTANTS'REPORT

,July 30, 1958

In accordance with your instructions we have examined the records of the South Carolina Conference Woman's Society of Christian Service for the period June 1, 1957 to May 31, 1958. Our report thereon is compr:sed of one exhibit and two

schedules as follows:

EXHIBIT ''A"--STATEMENT of RECEIPTS and DIS-

BURSEMENTS.

SCHEDULE 'I "-ANALYSIS of RECEIPTS.

SCHEDULE "2"--ANALYSIS of DISBURSEMENTS.

SCOPE of EXAMINATION-We examined all cancelled checks and reconciled the bank balanet' with statements furnished us by the bank. We examined remittance reports of the several Districts and traced the amounts thereon into the records. However, we did not verify thes(, amounts by direct correspondence with the seven,! district treasurers. In several instances we were unable to determine the correct application of funds remitted by the several districts, because of the reports not being completed ii'. enough detail, or a difference in the report and the entries made in the books. However, in comparing the remittance reports sent to tlw Central Jurisdiction and their receipts with the reports of the several districts, the application of funds is in close agreement.

OPINION-Subject to our comments with regard to con, firming receipts with the district treasurer, and of the applica-

METHODIST CHURCH

IX. HISTORICAL

Approximately one hundred years after the introduction of Methodism into the United States, the South Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Chmch was born. It was the year 1866. The great and devasting Civil War was just over; but the wounds inflicted by the war were fresh and painful. And the Methodist Church, like other institutions, bore her share of the wounds. In their "Story of Methodism," Luccock

and Hutchinson report that:

"Hundreds of churches in the South were broken up and destroyed Hundreds of thousands of members were lost thwugh death in battle or disease, or by the evil influence of army lif."

(Page 356).

It is a remarkable fact that the Methodist Churches, both North and South, made rapid and effective efforts to recover from the war. In 1866 Methodism planned her first great advance-a celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the introduction of Methodism to these shore.s. With this effort to recover, the Church entered into a period of founding colleges. Two of the institutions established at that time were Baker Thological Institute in Charleston and Claflin University in Orangeburg. The South Carolina Conference was born in Baker Theological Institute in the year 1866.

The Conference had only two districts in its first two years. These were low-country districts and must have been quite large in area. In 1869 a membership of 17,657 was concentrated in three districts, and a fourth was added in 1870. For sixte€n years the Conference reported five districts. The number was increased to six districts in 1903, and to eight in 1904. The only other changes since that time were the addition of the Berkeley District in 1939 and the realignment of the Conference into six

districts in 1956.

· After its founding, it took only eighteen years to double the membership of the Confcrenre-from 17,657 in 1869 to 35,220 in 1888. During the first forty years there was a steady expansion and development of church property. Indeed, not a few of the churches in which we now worship were built by men of that day. Whereas only 86 churches served the 17,657 members in 1869, the number of buildings had doubled by 1875. By any

-119-

jl


standard, this was a notable achievement and one which must

have called for genuine sacrifice.

One of the interesting contrasts of the Conference record is that between the amount paid for pastoral support and the amount paid for building and repairs. Such a contrast is likely to show the deep concern of both pastor and people for the care of the Sanctuary of which they are trusteEs. In 1883 the pastors were paid a total of $42,170 while they built and repaired their churches at a cost of $18,329, or almost one-half of their total

salary.

Conference statistics since 1939 show little incre&se in membership and property. However, on the other side of the pict,ure is the sustained and increased supporit of education, a more advanced study of the Church, and adjustment to the new de

mands of the day.
