RESOLUTIONS THE CONFERENCE BROTHERHOOD

The Board of directors of the Conference Brotherhood wishes to report that we have had 110 members this year in our Brother-hood. During the year we have had three deaths among our mem-bership, namely: Rev. W. D. Bennett, Rev. M. A. Burns, and Rev. C. A. Parks. This year we have been able by drawing on our re-serve fund to pay each beneficiary $300.00. We have in our reserve now a total of $532.00 with which to begin the new year.

We respectfully urge more of our brethren to join the Brotherhood.

S. E. Ashmore, Chairman K. I. Tucker, Sec. and Treas.

CONFERENCE CLAIMANTS

Report No. I We have carefully considered every phase of our work and

each Claimant's needs have been duly considered. During the year 1948-1949, we have paid to each Superannuate at the rate of $26.00 per service year. We have met all emergency calls and ad-justed necessitous cases when service years were low.

There has been one death among our Superannuates as fol-lows: Rev. M. A. Burns. The following widows of preachers have died: Mrs. W. J. Burt, and Mrs. H. G. Henderson.

The following Claimant have been added: Rev. S. W. Hemp-hill. The following widows have added to our list of Claimants: Mrs. C. A. Parks, Mrs. M. A. Burns and Mrs. W. D. Bennett.

We recommend that $3,500 be set aside for necessitous and emergency needs for the year 1949-1950, and that the Treasurer of the Board pay the Brotherhood dues of the eligible Superan-nuates for the year 1949-1950.

We recommend that amount equal to 13%% of the pastor's salary for the conference year 1949-1950 be assessed for the support of the claimants.

Complying with paragraph 1618 Section 4 of the 1948 Disci-pline, we list the following Special Appointments: A. T. Mcllwain, of the North Mississippi Annual Conference, the Treasurer of the Board of Conference Claimants will furnish the Secretary of the Conference a complete list of all the payments made by ministers on 2% assessment for publication in the Conference Journal.

Complying with paragraph 1618 Section 4 of the 1949 Disci-pline, we list the following Special Appointments: A. T. Milwain, with an Annuity Claim against the Board of Pensions; N. Bond Fleming, with an Annuity Claim against Millsaps College; J. E. Long, with an Annuity Claim against the North Mississippi Con-ference; A. R. Beasley, with an Annuity Claim against the North Mississippi Conference; J. H. Brooks, with an Annuity Claim against the U. S. Navy; Rev. C. T. Howell, with an Annuity Claim against the North Mississippi Conference; M. H. Twitchell, without Annuity Claim against North Mississippi Conference.

We recommend that $26.00 per service year be paid to all retired ministers of the Conference—$24.00 from the Regular Fund,

METHODIST CHURCH 55

and $2.00 from the Million for the Master Fund, and that 70(70' of the above Fund be paid to the widows of the Conference for the year 1949-1950.

We urge the observance of Veteran's Day as ordered by the Discipline be observed in every church, and we hope that through the observance of this day we shall be able to pay an additional $1.00 per year to all Claimants.

METHODIST CHURCH 59

THE COURTESY COMMITTEE REPORT Gratitude is one of the loveliest flowers in the garden of un-

selfishness. It is easy and simple to say "thank you" and mean it but sometime we feel that the very simplicity of the statement may rob it of some of what we are trying to convey. So, in the effort to escape we will say "thank you" and elaborate on it.

We would like to say how much we appreciate the music here this week. It may be that we forget from year to year something of what has gone before but it seems the singing of both choir and congregation has been the best we have ever had. The reason for this is not hard to find. It is in the faithful work of the splendid choir under the able direction of Mr. Landis Rogers assisted by the organist, Miss Laurice Ferguson. Nor would we over look the contribution Mrs. Thad Ferrell, wit! of the pastor-host, has made at the organ for the day sessions of the conference.

Many of us do not know the vast amount of time and work involved in entertaining an annual conference. However, this does not prevent our feeling deeply obliged to Mr. Joe Thompson, Entertainment Committee Chairman, who has made everything so convenient for us. We do hope he and his committee have not found us un-christian in either our demands or our behavior. Mrs. W. F. McCormick, Housing Committee Chairman, and Mrs. James Carnes, Church Secretary, have served with him as well as a host of others whom we will have to thank in masse.

We owe an unpayable debt of gratitude to the people of this community from Mayor W. G. Hairston, who generously provided us with a ticket assuring free parking, to the last home opened to us. The Board of Stewards, represented by Mr. Henry Jones, Rev. Thad Ferrell, Pastor, and Rev. E. L. Jernigan, Pastor of Central Church, have done all in their power td meet our every need and wish. For us the conference has been relaxed and unwearied and we know these are responsible for this.

The power of press and radio for good is well known. There-fore we wish to thank Mr. Burnie Imes, editor of the Columbus Commercial Dispatch, for the generous way he has used his paper to interpret the conference to the community. We thank Rev. E. H. Cunningham for the articles he has provided the Commercial Ap-peal in Memphis. The Mississippi Methodist Advocate ably gave the right publicity to the Methodist people of the state concerning the conference. We thank editor C. T. Howell for this. In the field of radio we greatly appreciate what Mr. Jimmy Etherton, Manager of WCBI in Columbus, has done for us. He has permitted the conference a fifteen minute daily devotional and is broadcasting the appointments this afternoon over the entire Mid-South network. Along with him we thank the engineer, Mr. Bill Temple, who has handled the work here at the church.

Heartfelt thanks are extended Dr. B. L. Parkinson, President of M. S. C. W., for the bouquet of lovely gladiolus which have been in the church this week, and to the family of the late Bro. C. A. Parks for the bouquet of white chrysanthemums which we have enjoyed.

Other people who have added to the conference are: Miss Betty Ann Spivey, who typed every report that went through the confer-ence, and the number of pages who so freely gave of their time.

Again mere words are unable to express the way we feel about the good leadership of Bishop Marvin A. Franklin. He was respons-ible among other things for the coming of Dr. Pierce Harris as con-ference preacher. Dr. Harris filled our hearts with yearning for God and goodness while at the same time he filled our lips with laughter

and our eyes with tears. We shall not be the same for having heard him.

We give warm thanks to Dr. N. C. McPherson for his sermon on Vocations to the youth of our conference on Saturday night. We love our youth and we love everyone who takes an interest in them and helps them find the way to happy living.

The expressions of joy which we heard on every hand after the speech of Dr. McCoy and the singing of the choir from Rust College were well deserved and we say again we appreciate their coming to us.

Unobtrusively he has been among us as one who served and his service has meant much to us in keeping the church ready for all the services, so to Mr. Wheeler Johnson, sexton, we say "thank you".

As we advance for Christ and his church we shall go farther and faster for having had this 'wonderful session of the conference in this city and in this church. Along with our thanks for your hospitality we offer a prayer for the continued success of your life and labor on the work of the living Lord.

THE COMMITTEE ON CONFERENCE RELATIONS We your Committee on Conference Relations wish to report

that we have considered all the names referred to us and recom-mend the same relation. We also had the name of Rev. S. W. Hemp-hill referred to us. Brother Hemphill, who is 61 years old, is re-tiring upon the advice of his doctor. The committee has the state-ment of the doctor giving the diagnosis of his trouble. We recom-mend that he be given the Superannuate relation.

CHRISTIAN LITERATURE We, the committee on Christian Literature, having noted the

progress that has been made through the years, are quite pleased with the keen interest and circulation of the literature of our great church The Mississippi Methodist Advocate has had an increase in circulation this year, continuing its circulation as the second largest Conference Organ in Methodism. We commend the good work of Editor Clinton T. Howell and thank him for his editorial and pro-motional achievements for Mississippi Methodism. He is giving us a great church paper.

The Christian Advocate has a mailing list of 350,000 and we commend our great general organ to the pastors and people of our churches in Mississippi.

The Upper Room should have an important place in our homes, in hotels, depots, hospitals and other public reading places. Its pages are filled with spiritual food and is helpful to all who use it.

We recommend that our pastors and officials be zealous in the circulation of our good Methodist literature and books.

We nominate Mr. J. G. Houston to fill the vacancy on the publishing committee made vacant by the resignation of Mr. T. E. Lott.

METHODIST CHURCH 61

We ask that the proper authorities be instructed to place on our statistical blanks a column for reporting the circulation of the Mississippi Methodist Advocate.

We recommend that Rev. Clinton T. Howell be appointed Editor of the Mississippi Methodist Advocate.

CHRISTIAN VOCATIONS To the North Mississippi Annual Conference:

The Commission on Christian Vocations, which was authorized by the General Conference of 1948, is described as follows in the Discipline: (par. 643).

"In each Annual Coifference there shall be a Com-mission on Christian Vocations. The bishop and district superintendents, in co-operation with the general Inter-board Committee on Christian Vocations (par. 1415), shall nominate the members of this commission to be elected by the conference. It shall be the duty of this commission to organize a program for presenting to the youth of the churches the opportunities and claims of the Christian ministry and other forms of Christian life service. Taking into account the basic interests and apti-tudes of interested young people, it shall advise them as to the necessary preparation for specific vocations and give continuing encouragement and guidance to suitable candidates throughout their preparation. This commission shall co-operate with the Interboard Committee on Chris-tian Vocations".

The secretary, Miss Willie Frances Coleman, has kept a list of the names of those young people in the conference who have volun-teered for full-time Christian service, and through her the Commis-sion on Christian Vocations has been in touch with them during the year.

The Commission had a part in financing and in planning the program for the State-Wide Conference on "The Call to Preach", held at Millsaps College April 22 - 23, 1949.

A Conference on Christian Vocations will be sponsored by the Commission at Lake Stephens Camp June 18-19. The following fields will be represented by selected resource persons: Christian home-making, teaching, preaching, medicine, nursing, missionary and deaconess work, and director of religious education. It is our hope that in the future the program at such conferences will include more areas of Christian service. The Commission requests the co-operation of all the pastors in urging the attendance of their inter-ested young people at the conference this year.

Respectfully Submitted, Bond Fleming, Chairman Willie Frances Coleman, Secretary

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION Report No. I

When this Conference year began your Board of Education had realized one of its highest ambitions of service in being able to offer to the Conference at last a competent staff of workers for counsel and assistance in all three age divisions in the local church. Our Executive Secretary, Rev. J. E. Long, in addition to his over-all guidance of the conference program, is giving valuable assistance where called upon as a worker with adults. Miss Willie Frances Coleman has won wide recognition in her work with youth. And Miss Vera Montgomery, our new Conference Director of Children's Work, has already made a place of large usefulness in the Confer-ence. These three full-time workers in your service are co-operating with Conference and District •fficers along all lines. We are very happy to have now a complete staff of Christian workers.

In this short year our work has been principally one of plan-ning; but our planning has been thoroughly done, we believe, to include a wide area of our local churches. Our goal is to reach an increasing number of workers with courses of Christian training back in our local churches. We are continually endeavoring to reach back into the local church situation to leave a deposit of trained leadership which will carry on a year-round program of Christian work. This year, through the work of you and its corps of ac-credited teachers in the Conference, about 700 persons were enrolled in training schools.

In the early part of the year a Planning Conference on Christian Education was held in every District staff, in each instance, set up definite objectives to be reached within the year. In addition to this, in the Children's Division, a training conference for vacation church school workers was held in every District. In these centers of training, 101 churches were represented, and 487 persons were in attendance. Our youth training programs are reaching an ex-panding number of our young people. Impressive evidence of this was seen at the very beginning of the year when 115 young people on Youth Night came at the invitation of Bishop Franklin to the altar.

Youth Fund offering this year amounted to $4439.75. Our conference-wide training programs are set up for this sum-

mer at Lake Stephens to reach all age groups beginning with the Juniors. There are ten different assemblies scheduled from June 13 through September 9.

We are not losing sight of our hundreds of Methodist young people in attendance at the state institutions of higher learning. Your board is an active co-operation with the Board of Education of -Mississippi Conference to maintain the Inter-Conference Com-mission on Student Religious Work. A Methodist program is being promoted where our young people are in attendance at state insti-tutions.

We take high pride in Millsaps College. We urge our pastors and church school leaders to present the claims of our church college to the ablest young people we have who are ready for col-lege. For the first time, this year Millsaps College appears in our Conference budget drawing resources directly from our Conference treasury.

We are grateful for the splendid co-operation given this year by the numerous persons who serve the Conference, District, and

METHODIST CHURCH 63

sub-District organizations. They are the good right arm of the Board of Education.

Respectfully submitted, W. J. Cunningham, Chairman A. Y. Brown, Secretary

EVANGELISM We would like first of all to express to all pastors of the Con-

ference our sincere appreciation for your fine responsiveness to the program of evangelism during the past year. It is with genuine gratitude that some evidence of progress can ge noted in this most important phase of our work. During the conference year 1947-48 all pastors in the conference combined, averaged receiving 163 persons per month on Confession of Faith. During this past year the average number of accesions on Confession of Faith per month was 196. This record of improvement was made despite the uncertainties as sociated with the short year and during months that have not been predominately Evangelistic. Even with the improvement shcwn, we are far from satisfied with the evangelistic effort in cur Conference and ask your support for the following program for the conference year 1949-1950 with the hope that greater victories may be won this year.

First of all, we commend the program of Evangelism as sug-gested by the General Board for the Advance for Christ and His Church. This Board calls upon its pastors to Advance:

In making the Methodist Church an Evangelistic Church; In winning persons for Christ of every age by every method;

In making every Methodist a Witnessing Christian; In winning decisions for Christ at our regular services; In visitation and personal evangelism skills; In training church school teachers to ge evangelists; In training persons for church membership and christian living; In assimilating our members in the life of the church; In establishing individuals and families in Bible reading, prayer, and the devotional life; In winning whole families for Christ and in making our homes truly Christian; In using the radio, the press, visual aids, motion pictures, evangelistic literature, and all available means of com- munication for Christ and his Church; In establishing new cloirches.

We also accept for our Conference the quotas for accessions on Confession of Faith as set up by the General Conference. The following are the quotas for each year of the Advance:

In 1949 win one on C. F. for every 17 active members; In 1950 win one on C. F. for every 14 active members; In 1951 win one on C. F. for every 14 active members; In 1952 win one on C. F. for every 12 active members;

The quota for the calendar year 1949 for our Conference is 4,045 on Confession of Faith based on the active membership of 68,723. We recommend that each District accept its quota and make plans for attaining it.

2nd. We recommend the continuation of the monthly reports of pastors to the Conference Secretary of Evangelism as of accessions, and the mailing of the compiled reports back to each pastor and each Charge Lay Leader.

3rd. We urge that a District plan of Evangelism be set up to include the following:

(a) The organization of the District Committee on Membership and Evangelism.

(b) The acceptance of the General Conference quotas for ac-cessions in the Advance For Christ and His Church.

(c) The conducting of two demonstration programs of Visitation Evangelism in each District—One to be on a rural charge and the other in one of the larger churches.

4th. We recommend the following program for every local church in the North Mississippi Conference.

(a) As early in the year as possible that a complete religious survey be made for the purpose of discovering the unchurched in each community.

(b) The organization of the committee on Membership and Evangelism with a Membership Secretary, and that a report of this committee be made at Quarterly Conferences using the special blanks for this purpose. Each member of this committee should be a subscriber to Shepherds Magazine, the official publication for Evangelism. Where possible, it is recommended that the local church present each member with a years subscription to the Shepherds. •

(c) The selection of a group of workers in each local church and give them specific training in the techniques of visitation evangelism and have several days of intensive visitation.

(d) The organization of a Fisherman's Club or a Fellowship of Evangelism for the continuous program of Visitation Evangelism.

(e) That the pastor's class in the church membership be con-ducted preceding Easter or at some other appropriate time.

METHODIST CHURCH 65

(f) That a revival meeting or New Life Movement be conducted in each church during the conference year.

(g) That each Charge push the movement to reach and win the Family for Christ and His Church; That every Methodist family be enrolled in the Christian Family movement—practicing daily family worship using the Upper Room.

We have received the report of Rev. A. P. Stephens for the conference year and recommend that he be re-appointed Conference Evangelist Supply.

HOSPITALS AND HOMES Bishop Franklin and members of the North Mississippi Conference

in session at Columbus, June 8-12, 1949, we submit the following re-ports:

No. 1 THE METHODIST HOME

The Rev. J. H. Morrow, Superintendent of our Methodist Home in Jackson, appeared before the Board and submitted his report as follows:

The first phase of our building program has been completed. If we are to continue on to completion, much sacrificial giving on the part of our Methodist people must be done. We still need three new homes for our children, a school building, an administration building, garage, and other out buildings. To all of you we are grateful beyond our ability to express our gratitude and love.

Cash receipts have been as follows on voluntary quotas: District Voluntary Quotas Paid Balance Aberdeen $ 3,624.77 $ 7,540.08 Columbus _ 5,265.57 3,407.79 $1,855.78 Corinth 3,487.59 3,669.24 Greenville 6,184.43 6,678.01 Greenwood 4,475.13 4,948.24 Sardis 3,882.27 4,087.41

METHODIST CHURCH 67

SANITORIUM Regret was expressed by all members of the Board over the

passing of the former Chaplain, Rev. H. E. Raley. We feel fortunate in securing the services of Rev. J. 0. Ware to carry on this very worthy work. The Board heartily recommends the cooperation of all churches in helping our Chaplain to supply motion pictures, maga-zines, and a supply of books suitable for children. Some radios for the new negro infirmary of 140 beds are among the immediate needs.

No. 4 METHODIST HOSPITAL

Mr. J. M. Crews, Superintendent/ of the Methodist Hospital, sub-mitted an informative report on the work of this institution. We are indeed fortunate in having the services of such a capable man. He has during recent months received national recognition in the field of hospital administration.

From April 1, 1948 through March 31, 1949 the number of patients admitted was 12,750. There were 3,020 births and an average daily occupancy of 293. Admissions to the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital shows a reduction. There were 3,346 in-patients treated and 10,707 out-patients treated.

Last year (calendar year 1948) the North Mississippi Conference gave the Methodist Hospital $4,682.22 in benevolences and Golden Cross. At the end of the same period the hospital had furnished $23,523.44 in free care to patients living in North Mississippi Con-ference. The large difference in free service and the amount raised by the Conference has been carried by the paying patients who can ill afford to pay more than his own bill. This is one of the few hospitals owned by the Methodist Church where the paying patient has to carry such a large portion of the charity load.

The mortgage indebtedness is approximately $75,000. On March 21, 1949 a contract was signed for approximately $612,000 for new buildings and equipment.

The Charter of the hospital requires that six trustees be elected annually from this Conference to the Board of Trustees of the hos-pital. We recommend the re-election of the following:

CLERICAL: E. H. Cunningham, G. H. Boyles. LAY: J. H. Sherard, D. H. Hall, Joe Young, Mrs. N. N. Maxey. We recommend Rev. M. E. Armstrong as Golden Cross Director. Your Board is designating January 8, 1950 as Golden Cross Sun-

day. We commend Methodist Hospital School of Nursing to our pastors; by their recommendations, qualified young women may be trained for a nursing career.

Signed: C. L. Rogers, Chairman Mrs. J. D. Wroten, Secretary

LAY ACTIVITIES We are glad to report a year of devotion and attentiveness to

the causes of the church on the part of the Lay Boards of the local churches.

The church finances generally have been well managed and all accepted obligations met in full.

The special undertaking of the church, such as the Day of Dedication offering, has been loyally supported. We are particularly

gratified with the unusual amount of effort and the very liberal gifts of their material substance, on the part of Laymen to the building of new churches and parsonages.

We call to your attention the increasing attendance of busy laymen at the District and Conference-wide meetings of our church. Laymen's day has been partially observed in the churches of the Conference this short Conference year, but much progress could be made through closer cooperation, to its complete observance. Several Laymen's retreats have been successfully held and we recommend more District-wide meetings of this nature. Our Laymen need a broader fellowship and intense cultivation along the, lines of Lay responsibilities in the local church and in the church at large.

We report quite a number of new organizations of "Methodist Men" this year and we urge the establishment of many more, for broadening the base of Lay Attivities in the local church, develop-ing more of the younger leadership among the men and creating a finer fellowship among all groups of the church membership.

We reaffirm our loyalty and devotion to our church, and pledge our cooperation to Bishop Franklin, District Superintendents, and our Pastors in meeting its prograM for the year ahead.

Respectfully submitted,

J. G. Houston, Sr.

MINISTERIAL TRAINING The Board of Ministerial Training and qualifications makes

the following report of its activities pursuant to its scope of work as outlined by the Discipline:

It is our duty, in co-operation with other agencies, "to enlist suitable candidates for the Christian ministry" and "in every way practicable to provide guidance and counsel to them in their train-ing and preparation". Accordingly, we have the names of approxi-mately fifty young men who have either taken the first steps into the Methodist ministry or are prospects for the ministry. We ask the pastors to keep us informed concerning the boys of the local churches who may be interested in this high calling of God. We have recently made a study of the need for preachers in our church. This need is appalling. At the 1948 Annual Conference there were 189 appointments to be made, and there were only 143 active members of the conference available for these appointments. Forty-six places had to be supplied in some way. During the last eight years there has been an average net loss of three (plus) active conference members per year, (not taking into account the eleven men we have in the seminary). During the last twenty years we have had an average of only three and one-half men to be admitted on trial per year. Fifty-two per cent of our present number of active conference members are above the age of fifty, thirty-eight being sixty years old or older. In twenty-two years time we will lose over one-half of our present conference members by compulsory re-tirement alone. We estimate it will require ten new men per year for the next ten years to meet the needs for preachers in our con-ference, and this is conservative. Let each of us do all possible to encourage our young men to hear and heed God's call to preach the gospel of Christ. It is encouraging to see that an increased number of young men in the last two or three years are giving serious consideration to the call of the Methodist ministry.

Our board was one of the sponsoring agencies to the Call To Preach Conference held at Millsaps College in April. We heartily commend it and urge its continuance from year to year.

METHODIST CHURCH 69

We call attention to the following short-term schools where work may be taken in the Conference Course of Study and better preparation had for the work of the pastor: The School for Ac-cepted Supply Pastors and the School for Town and Country Re-ligious Workers at Emory University; The School for Accepted Supply Pastors at Duke University; and our own Conference Leadership School to be held at Lake Stephens Camp this fall. This board is furnishing a forty-dollar scholarship to the School for Accepted Supply Pastors at Emory, and the school at Emory is granting seven like scholarships to men of our conference. Like-wise, Duke will grant five scholarships to the school there.

We commend to all accepted supply pastors and undergraduates of our conference the new course of study for this quadrennium. So long as funds are available it is the policy of this board to pay the Correspondence School fees ford undergraduates and Accepted Supply pastors taking the required courses of study, provided each year's work is completed within the year. We commend the Ac-cepted Supply pastors for the interest they have shown during this conference in the prescribed course of study for Accepted Supply pastors.

We recommend that hereafter the course of study for License to Preach be taken with the Correspondence School at Emory University, just as all other courses are taken. This will relieve the District Licensing Committee of examining duties, but will free them for the consideration of the more urgent matters of the character and suitability of candidates for license to preach.

We recommend that the following students be left without appointment to attend school:

E. A. Bailey Jr., Emory University J. C. Christian, Emory University J. T. McCafferty, Jr., Emory University J. H. Holder, Jr., Emory University John E. Sutphin, Emory University J. W. Youngblood, Emory University Huntley C. Lewis, Northwestern University Johnny A. Dinas, Duke University T. R. Poole, Vanderbilt University Don S. Youngblood, Southern Methodist University

A. C. Bishop, Chairman W. R. Richerson, Rgstr.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF MINISTERIAL TRAINING

Since it requires a considerable amount of time to satisfactorially complete a year's assignment in the conference course of study, and since this year has been a seven month year, the Board of Ministeri-al Training and Qualifications recommends that the conference ex-cuse those men who have not completed the third or fourth year of the course of study.

'This is in accordance with paragraph 346 of the Discipline and is for the purpose of allowing this year to count as a year of effec-tive service for these men even though they will be retained in the course for another year. The men who will be effected by this action. are: Ocel Lex Elliott, Joseph Eugene Long, and Joseph Melton Carothers.

Signed: A. C. Bishop William R. Richerson, Registrar

MILLION FOR THE MASTER

RESOLUTION

Whereas, the causes representing in the "Million for the Mas-ter" movement are even more urgent than when the campaign was launched and some $150,000 remain to be raised in order to reach the $1,000,000 goal and,

Whereas, a number of churches and charges of our conference have unpaid pledges to the "Million for the Master" movement and are continuing to make payments on these pledges; therefore,

Be it resolved that the "Million for the Master" movement be continued under the direction of the Commission and Executive Committee as established by tip original action when the move-ment was inaugurated.

MISSIONS AND CHURCH EXTENSION

Report No. I

In this day of world-wide confusion when there is such a clamor for power it behooves the church and all constructive agencies to use wisely all of its resources toward the advancement and strengthening of God's Kingdom here on earth. It is the policy of this board to try to use our very limited financial resources so that the greatest possible good will result to the work where we try to help.

One of our greatest responsibilities is to supplement salaries of pastors on so-caned mission charges. We have tried to do this to the greatest extent possible.

We are extending every possible help to the educational work of the church, in co-operation with the Board of Education in providing leadership education. We are also helping to promote the Evangelistic work of the church by supplementing the support of a full time evan-gelist.

We have tried to formulate and follow plans and regulations that will promote cultivation and growth in the charges where we give financial aid to the end that these charges where we give financial aid will rapidly become self sustaining and thereby release funds for use in developing new fields. We believe that there are few if any charges that, if properly cultivated and developed, can show just claim to permanent support from the Board. We have evidence to support this attitude as several charges have not asked for support this year.

Rev. Thad H. Ferrell is nominated to serve as Conference Mis-sionary Secretary and also to represent this Board on the Board of Managers for our Leadership School.

Rev. C. T. Floyd is nominated to represent the Board for Camp Lake Stephens. Rev. N. N. Maxey is nominated to represent the Board 'on the Commission of Town and Country Work and also Commission for Southeastern Jurisdictional Deaconess Association.

SABBATH OBSERVANCE

Upon one occasion certain individuals come to Christ question-ing about other individuals keeping the Sabbath. With a continuous and ever changing of habits and religions of the world, probably we should go to Christ and ask him about the right of keeping the day sacred and Holy in such a way that would glorify him and his Kingdom.

Experience has proved that every mechanical device or machine will last longer if given routine periods of rest, adjustments, and repair. These great machines called human beings possessed with a never dying soul also need periods of rest, adjustments and re-plenishing. God knew man that he made in his own image. That is why he instituted the Sabbath, so the lives and souls of men after a period of labor and wearing away might be made new through the observance of the Sabbath may.

It is not the purpose and ,desires of this committee to tell you how to observe the Sabbath, we only say to you, "Approach the throne of Grace and Know Christ's answer how you might keep the Sabbath for the best of your souls and the Kingdom of God".

In view of the fact that the Sabbath is more and more being disregarded as a Holy Day and is becoming to increased multitudes a mere holiday, the Church must rise to the challenge and with greater faith and loyalty. We now have with and among us the commercialized Sabbath. When the government allows Sabbath de-secration permitting the promoters of commercialized recreation in the forms of theaters, athletics and other amusements; and also, allows industries and other means of commerce to ply their trade it is time for the church to arise and face these enemies that hinder the progress of God's Kingdom.

We, your committee urge that the church in every phase of its work arise and face this enemy of the Kingdom by living, teach-ing, and preaching, "Remember the Sabbath to Keep it Holy".

BOARD OF TEMPERANCE

In the face of confused moral judgements on every hand we feel that Methodist must allow the clear voice of christian conscience to be heard. The intolerable moral, social, and spiritual wreckage which is but the fruit of beverage alcohol demands a reawakened con-science and a revival of resistance to this evil. The task which faces us is too great for us to perform alone. Therefore, we humbly look to Almighty God for strength and leadership. We must not re-treat for the time for Advance is at hand. We are confident of the fact that if we are to expect the help of God we must certainly utilize all the strength and ability he has placed at our disposal.

We submit the following outline of program:

1. That in keeping with the Advance Movement we begin the Temperance Advance in the church by:

(a) By preaching "total abstinence by the individual and pro-hibition by the state" until Methodists separate themselves from the beverage alcohol traffic and are willing to make a public commitment.

(b) By seeing that every Church School, youth assembly, camp, or other training units of our church include alcohol edu-cation in their programs.

(c) By continuing to include a vital "Temperance Hour" in the program of our Annual Conference, and by urging the dis-trict superintendents to promote an active program within the districts in cooperation with the Conference Board.

(d) By observing commitment day in every charge either on the proper day or some appropriate day.

(e) By insisting on the enforcement of all restrictive laws on the manufacture, sale, and usage of beverage alcohol.

(f) By undertaking an active campaign throughout the confer-ence to get our people to qualify themselves to vote, and to exercise that privilege so that candidates who are "dry" may have at least a decent chance to be elected to office and of being supported after they are elected.

(g) By urging the early passage of adequate legislation to make illegal all advertising of alcoholic beverages.

We recommend the continuance of the payment of 5c per mem-ber in the local church to finance the participation in the Mississippi Church Council for Narcotic Education.

We are concerned that this program shall be executed with wisdom and with caution. Let us not merely adopt a program and then fail to execute it because of lack of zeal and enthusiasm. We fear inertia most. We call the ,Methodists of the North Mississippi Conference to action on this mfftter.

Trusting that we are doing the will of God for our day let us go forth with a holy boldness to claim our people and all others with whom we may come in contact as redeemed from the slavery to beverage alcohol. In the name of our God let us set up our banners.

H. R. McKee, Chairman J. F. Elliott, Secretary

TOWN AND COUNTRY WORK

Report No. I We make the following recommendations: I. That this Annual Conference set aside and adopt the 4th

Sunday in May as its official Rural Life Sunday. This day being the National Rural Life Sunday, and is recommended by the Southeastern Jurisdictional Extension Secretary.

3. That attention and interest continue to be given to beauti-fication of church grounds, and proper furnishings and equipment of Parsonages and churches.

4. That a sign bearing the name of the church be placed on or near each church, and wherever possible and practical; pointers be placed at road intersections.

5. A deep appreciation is herewith expressed to the larger churches which have participated in sponsoring programs on their neighboring Rural charges, and we urge the con-tinuance of this brotherly love exemplification.

WOMAN'S SOCIETY OF CHRISTIAN SERVICE New experiences are coming to us almost hourly in these days.

The responsibilities that are ours as members of the great organi-zation called the "Woman's Society of Christian Service", have not lessened as we move into this new year, for we face a future that will call for the best that we have as individuals and as an organi-zation. We can only meet these responsibilities and go forward as each individual responds. As Christians first, and as members of the Woman's Society of Christian Service, our supreme mission in this hour is that we translate into action the faith that we affirm. It is our obligation to become an informed group. There can be no hope of shaping a better world unless we approach with open minds the problems which this entails.

Being alive and alert to 'Ur needs and demands of the world suggests many activities for iTomen today. We must study and read more diligently than ever before. We must pray more earnestly and sincerely. We must organize societies. We must visit the shut-ins, the new-corners, and the grief-stricken. We must attend the church services more faithfully. We must secure new members for the Woman's Society of Christian Service and for the church, and we must make larger gifts and give more systematically to the call of missions.

We must do these things and many others because we are living in such a promising time—promising because a new spiritual vitality is manifesting itself under the program of the "Advance for Christ and His Church".

Through the many departments of the Woman's Society of Christian Service we are attempting to answer what the followers of Christ can do as we face this great challenge.

In these months we have gained some new concepts of geogra-phy. We have been led right up to the edge of a world that is un-deniably one. We have learned some new lessons in time, and we shall have to learn others. We have learned that only moral transforma-tions in the hearts of men and nations can save the world from utter chaos. Christians must feel a new sense of urgency if we are to move out from where we are to where we ought to be.

We have organized 22 new socities and gained 876 new members. We have raised for missions $35,240; for supplies, $3,251; and for Christian Social Relations and Church Activities, $23,870.

Missionaries have always been the important factor in the world mission of Christ. The Woman's Division is calling for 1700 new workers in this quadrennium. Those who are to answer this call are in our Methodist homes and in our colleges. Let us pray together for the youth of our church that they may have the courage to yield to the will of Christ for their lives, and that we, through them, may be able to help meet the needs of the world.

Mrs. N. N. Maxey Conference President, W. S. C. S.

WORLD PEACE We, your committee on World Peace, submit the following re-

port: The peace of the world is broken because of sin. When indivi-

duals, or families, or nations forget God, conflict and war inevitably follow.

METHODIST CHURCH 77

Christ is the only cure for sin; hence he is our only hope for world peace.

We cannot save civilization unless we bring individuals, families, and nations to know Christ as our Saviour. Every soul brought to Christ is a battle won for world peace. Our task, as a church, is to hold up Jesus Christ.

Respectfully submitted, W. W. Bruner, Chairman W. T. Bazzell, Secretary

WORLD SERVICE AND FINANCE Report Mo. I

In order to promote a more equitable participation in the Con-ference benevolent funds, the Conference Commission on World Service and Finance requests that each Conference Board sharing in the conference benevolent funds submit a detailed report of their receipts and expenditures to the Conference Commission on World Service and Finance two weeks before the convening of the Annual Conference.

We recommend that the Conference Treasurer pay for the number of copies of the Conference Journal as the Conference Secre-tary shall deem necessary to have printed.

And that an amount of $1500.00 be allowed for conference ex-penses and for clerical help and office expenses.

That the support of the District Superintendent shall be pro-vided for according to the plan set forth in paragraph 788 of the 1948 Discipline.

That the District Superintendent's salary, office and traveling expenses be fixed at $450.00 per month, each for the ensuing con-ference year.

That an assessment of an amount equal to 8% of the pastor's salaries for the current year be placed on the churches of the Con-ference to meet the salaries, office and travel expenses of the Dis-trict Superintendents, and that this fund be remitted to the confer-ence treasurer monthly, or at least quarterly by the pastor or the church treasurer of each church in the conference.

That the District Stewards be authorized to provide funds to care for the upkeep of the District Parsonage.

We recommend that the surplus in the District Superintendent's Fund be kept for use in case of deficit.

That an amount equal to 13/4% of the pastor's salaries be paid for the Bishop's Fund.

That charges paying $1200.00 or more on pastor's salary be asked to pay an amount equal to 1% of the pastor's salary for con-ference entertainment.

We recommend that an amount of $150.00 be raised in each district for the support of the Chaplain of the Sanitorium, in a manner to be determined by the District Superintendents and the District Stewards.

We nominate Mr. E. A. Tanner as Conference Treasurer and Mr. T. E. Lott, Conference Auditor.

We recommend that all assessments based on a percentage of the pastor's salary be figured on the salaries of the year 1949-50.

We recommend the approval of the following plans to raise money within the bounds of the Conference on a free-will basis: •

Memorial Mercy Home-Hospital of New Orleans to solicit funds for operation on a suggested quota basis.

Methodist Hospital, Memphis, to solicit funds for a chapel. Candler School of Theology to solicit funds for Theological

student residences. Methodist Home to solicit funds on a suggested quota basis. Board of Temperance to solicit funds financial program. We recommend that the Chaplain of the Sanitorium be author-

PROMOTION OF WORLD OUTLOOK RESOLUTION

We have in our missionary periodical, WORLD OUTLOOK, an agency of cultivation which has been acclaimed by our bishops and other leaders as one of the finest of its kind in the country. We are convinced that its wide circulation would constitute the best possible cultivation for the Advance movement and the whole cause of missions.

Unfortunately, many of our people do not receive this periodical. Although it is the official missionary organ of the whole church, most of, its subscriptions come through the Woman's Society of Christian Service, and the whole church membership beyond that society receives little or no missionary literature. This situation should be at once corrected.

Therefore, be it resolved, that this Annual Conference under-take during the week of October 2, 1949 to place WORLD OUT-LOOK in the homes of all our people, especially those not now being reached, and that the efforts of our preachers to this end be correlated with the similar work of the Woman's Society.

MEMOIRS WISTER DALE BENNETT

By J. D. Wroten

On Nov. 5, 1887 there was born to Mr. E. M. and Mrs. Frances Britt Bennett, near Winona in Montgomery County, Mississippi, a little red headed boy. They named him Wister Dale. This fine little boy was educated in the common schools of Montgomery County and had other special studies.

We first met Wister about 1912 when his church, Bethesda, was added to the Duck Hill Charge, which we were serving from Mill-saps College. He was at thatiotime Superintendent of the Sunday School at Bethesda. It was our pleasure to see him licensed to preach at Tula, Mississippi June 19, 1913. In the fall of 1914 he was admitted on trial into the North Mississippi Conference at Starkville, Mississippi. He was received into full connection and ordained deacon, by Bishop W. B. Murrah, Dec. 3, 1916 at Winona, Mississippi, and was ordained elder, by Bishop J. C. Kilgo.December 12, 1918 at Clarksdale, Mississippi. On January 6, 1915 Brother Bennett was married to Miss Orma Williams also of Montgomery County. They were blessed with a fine family of boys and girls whom they edu-cated well.

During his fruitful ministry, Wister and his good wife served the following Charges: Randolph, Waterford, Sardis, and Courtland circuits, Moorhead, Merigold, Boyle and Pace, Crenshaw and Sledge, Rosedale and Benoit, Schlater, Glen Allan and Avon, and Sunflower and Doddsville.

His longest pastorate was Glen Allan and Avon which he served nine happy years. His shortest pastorate was sunflower and Dodds-ville, which he served from November 7, 1948 to December 1, 1948.

It was our pleasure to be in his home, preach for him, and hold his Quarterly Conference in his new and his last charge at Sun-flower on November 28, 1948. It was the sentiment of all the officials that he had made a wonderful beginning on that charge. This fine beginning was evidenced by the fact that many items of the finan-ces were reported in full for the year.

On the following Wednesday, while working with a door at the parsonage, all of a sudden God opened another door—the door to Heaven. I have a feeling that God said to Wister that morning, "It is enough, come up higher". In just a very few minutes the spirit of our dear friend and true servant of God entered that wonder-ful somewhere that the soul of each of us longs for.

At ten o'clock Saturday morning December 4, 1948, funeral services were held in the little Methodist Church at Glen Allan, where he had served for nine years, by Rev. J. D. Wroten, District Superintendent of the Greenville District and Rev. J. 0. Dowdle, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Indianola. His body was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery at Glen Allan overlooking Lake Washington.

He rests not cold beneath the grasses Not close-walled within the tomb Rather in our Father's mansion Living in another room. Shall I doubt my Father's mercy? Shall I think of death as doom? Or the stepping over the threshold To a bigger, brighter room?

_MILLARD ALEXANDER BURNS By

L. P. Wasson

Millard Alexander Burns, son of James A. and Elizabeth Burns, was born near Baldwyn, Mississippi on November 27, 1875. Trained in the warm atmosphere of a genuinely Christian home, his young life was being molded to the Christian pattern, but he had a definite experience of salvation under the preaching of one of the saints of the North Mississippi Conference, Rev, Luke McKeown, at the age of 14 years, at old Winfield Church on the Blue Springs circuit. The glow of that heart warming never faded from him. He taught school for several years in Ittawamba County, but even the high privilege of guiding young minds and hearts in the higher knowledge of the truth about earthly things did not satisfy—he felt the call of God to proclaim the message of Salvation through Jesus Christ the Son of God and the Saviour of the world which he himself had experienced. He was licensed to preach under Rev. W. C. Harris, Presiding Elder of the Corinth District, and from the Marietta Quarterly Conference in April 1904.

He was happily married to Mittie Alice McGaha, December 23, 1900. She was a faithful, loyal helper in all his work, as well as a devoted mother and home-maker for Millard and his eight children. Five of the children survive him—Rex Burns, Pocahontas, Ark.; Carl Burns, of Meridian, Mississippi; Mrs. A. J. Broome, Como, Mississippi; and Clyde Burns, of Saltillo, Mississippi. His brother, Rev. J. B. Burns is an honored member of the North Mississippi Conference and now pastor of the New Albany circuit.

Brother Burns served the following circuits: Corinth circuit, Iuka, Wheeler, Buena Vista, Okolona, Green Wood Springs, Nettle-ton, Mt. Pleasant, Water Valley—main Street, Potts Camp, Macon, Fulton, New Albany, and Rienzi, and here at Rienzi in 1927 he lost his voice and superannuated for about 3 years. He moved to the Mississippi Conference and with the restoration of his voice he served Eucutta Charge one year, returned to North Mississippi Con-ference and served Popular Creek 3 years, Black Hawk, 3 years, Mooreville, 1 year. He was stricken with heart trouble and retired in 1940.

As a superannuate his heart still burned with the passion of a real gospel messenger. His zeal to serve was so great that he overcame the counsel and judgement of the writer, and he was permitted to supply the Marietta Charge for about a year in 1947. Like Paul, he counted not his life dear unto himself if by any means he might save some. The work was too much for him and he went down, again. The Master called him home December 31, 1948, from his home in Saltillo, Mississippi. His funeral was con-ducted in the Saltillo Church that he loved so much and where he was a real pastor's helper, by his pastor Dr. H. G. Williamson, assisted by the writer, with the house overflowing with relatives, friends and brother ministers. He was buried in Saltillo Cemetery with Masonic honors. He was a Mason, a Shriner, and a member of the Eastern Star. He had a warm fraternal heart, but the fraternity he loved best was the North Mississippi Conference of Methodist preachers and laymen. He loved the fellowship of his brethren.

Millard Burns was a man of God, a brother beloved. He was humble in spirit, loyal to his church and his friends, a good husband and father, and faithful unto death in the service of his Lord. Another faithful soul has heard the welcome greeting, "Well-done,—enter thou the joy of thy Lord".

A good man never dies—Millard Burns was a good man.

CLAUDE ALGERNON PARKS By

N. N. Maxey

Following the sunset hour on Thursday, January 13, 1949, Claude Algernon Parks quietly and peacefully entered into fullness of life. In the quiet of the evening hour at the Methodist Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, he simply fell asleep. We fondly believe he could have said with Victor Hugo, "I have finished my day's work, but I have not finished my life. My days' work will begin in the morning. My tomb is not a blind alley, it is a thoroughfare; it closes with the twilight to open with the dawn".

Of him it could be said, "Thy star of life hath set awhile". The star sets, but there is an afterglow, the light lingers on. This token of honor, therefore, is not a find goodby. It is simply a reminiscence of the yesterdays and the yesteryears.

Brother Parks lived an abundant, rich life. But this did not just happen. There is a background. There was the wholesome background of the home in which he was born on July 11, 1885; the influence of his sturdy parents, Elisha Harrison Parks and Sue Sullivan Parks; the intimate fellowship with brothers and sisters. There were the dreams of childhood's day among the hills and valleys around Water Valley, Mississippi, where he was born, attended school and church and where he grew to manhood. He became a Christian early in life and united with Pleasant Ridge Methodist Church near Water Valley at the age of thirteen. There were the visions of his student days at Millsaps College from which he received a B. A. degree, and later, at North-western University where he spent one year.

There was another day which was rich in meaning to him, the day he was licensed to preach at Oxford, Mississippi, in 1912. But still a more meaningful day was the day on which he was admitted on trial at New Albany, Mississippi, in 1915. This was followed by the day on which he was admitted into full connection by Bishop Murrah at Oxford, Mississippi, in 1917. Then there was the day on which he was ordained by Bishop Kilgo at Aberdeen, Mississippi, in 1919.

Two years before his ordination, on November 18, 1917, he was married to Sarah Lovie Clark, the attractive, lovely daughter of an honored Methodist preacher, the late Reverend William A. Clark and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Moore Clark. These two, now one, went forth to serve the church to which they were dedicated for a period of thirty-two years.

This parsonage home was also blessed with two lovely children. Sarah Lovie, now Mrs. 0. B. Wooten, Jr., of Leland, Mississippi, and Claude Algernon, Jr., who now resides in New Jersey. •

Thus for thirty-seven years—his entire ministry, Brother Parks gave of his best to the North Mississippi Conference. His first ap-pointment was the Kosciusko Circuit in 1915-1917. And during the years that followed he and his family lived and loved and served the church at Ackerman, Tunica, Greenville, Amory, Indianola, Grenada, Corinth, and New Albany. In 1942 he was appointed Dis-trict Superintendent of the Sardis District, serving faithfully and effectively the full term of six years. In November 1948 he was ap-pointed• as pastor at Hollandale. But during the early weeks of his auspicious pastorate in the beautiful little city of Hollandale he surrendered his torch. Rather, he did not surrender his torch, he merely passed it on to others.

METHODIST CHURCH 83

Brother Parks preached like he lived, or lived like he preach-ed--buoyantly, fearlessly, sincerely, lovingly. Countless hundreds will rise up one day and call him blessed.

On Saturday, January 15, 1949, at ten o'clock in the morning the last rites were conducted at the Methodist Church in Hollan-dale, of which he had been the loved pastor, with Bishop Marvin Franklin in charge, assisted by Reverends J. D. Wroten, J. 0. Dow-dle, John M. McCay, and N. N. Maxey. After which the body was laid to rest at Indianola, Mississippi.

In addition to a large congregation of friends and relatives from far and near, a large group of minister friends were present.

How appropriate were the words of one of his loved hymns on that January evening:

Sun of my soul! Thou Alaviour dear, It is not night if Thou be near; Oh, may no earth-born cloud arise To hide Thee from Thy servant's eyes.

AUDITORS REPORT Reverend T, B. Thrower, Chairman World Service and Finance Commission North Mississippi Conference of Methodist Church Corinth, Mississippi

In re. Audit of records of E. A. Tanner Conference Treasurer

Dear Sir:

I have checked the records of your Conference Treasurer in his office at Indianola, Mississippi,•for the seven months period Novem-ber 15, 1948 to June 15, 1949. My report is attached hereto.

The audit was confined to check of the Treasurer's records. No outside verifications were effected except as to the bank account. The records were in excellent condition.

Summary of the receipt and disbursement statement for the period is here shown:

Balance forward from the last report $11,073.05 Collections for all purposes 163,042.76

Total to be accounted for 174,115.81 Distributions and disbursements

to 6/15-49 $135,427.00 Final distribution 6/15-49__ 27,623.58 163,050.58

Balance in funds 11,065.23

Distributions of the fund for benevolences were made in accord-ance with apportionments recommended in the report of your Com-mission to the 1948 Conference Session. The 4th Sunday Church School offerings are included in the totals paid for benevolences shown on the schedules of receipts. Benevolences paid were 104.6% of acceptances.

The last page of this report schedule a list of direct payments from certain charges for various activities. These payments did not pass through the Treasurer's hands. The list was prepared from copies of receipts which had been forwarded to him.

Based upon examination of the records it is my opinion that your Treasurer has properly accounted for all funds paid in to him and has distributed or disbursed such funds in accordance with authorizations or vouchers.

I am submitting a separate report of my check of the accounts of the sundry sub-treasurers who function under the jurisdiction of the Conference.
