which  was  sung,  and  Bishop  Fowler  led  in  a  fervent  prayer  for  the 
blessing  of  God  upon  the  Conference  and  its  work. 

He  then  called  the  Presiding  Elders  into  the  chancel  to  assist 
him  in  the  consecration  of  the  elements,  and  afterwards  they  adminis- 
tered the  same  to  the  people,  in  the  Sacrament  of  the  Eord's

General  Qualifications.— On  motion  of  A.  E.  Mahin,  the  fol- 
lowing resolution,  as  adopted  last  year,  was  adopted  for  this  session  : 

Whereas,  The  growing  list  of  Superannuates  and  the  meager  tinancial 
help  received  by  them,  makes  it  imperatively  necessary  to  guard  more  carefully 
the  door  of  admission  into  our  Conference  ;  and, 

Whereas,  There  is  a  growing  demand  among  tlie  people  for  greater 
efficiency  in  pulpit  and  pastoral  work  ;  and. 

Whereas,  We  are  thoroughly  convinced  that  the  responsibility  for  the 
admission  on  trial,  and  continuance  in  the  same,  and  for  admission  into  full 
connection  ought  to  be  more  fully  shared  by  the  Committee  on  (jeneral  <2<ifili- 
fications  ;  therefore,  be  it 

Rt'solved,  1st.  That  the  Committee  on  General  Qualifications,  in  addition 
to  the  information  it  may  be  able  to  gather  from  other  sources,  be  required  to 
call  each  presiding  elder  before  it,  in  order  to  ask  him  such  questions  as  it  may 
deem  necessary  concerning  every  candidate  for  admission  on  trial,  or  continu- 
ance in  the  same,  or  for  admission  into  full  connection,  who  may  be  under  his 
jurisdiction. 

2d.  That  the  members  of  this  Committee  shall  be  excused  from  all  other 
committee  duty. 

3d.     That  this  Committee  shall  be  instructed  to  sit  with  closed  doors. 
4th.  That  before  voting  upon  the  admission,  or  continuance  on  trial,  or 
admission  into  full  connection,  of  any  candidate,  the  Conference  shall  hear  the 
report  of  this  Committee.

REPORTS. 


COMMITTEE  ON   THE  AMERICAN   BIBLE  SOCIETY. 

Whereas,  The  Bible  being  pre-eminently  the  Book  of  God,  we  commend 
the  Society  for  its  publication  and  distribution,  at  actual  cost  of  publication,  of 
the  Word  of  God,  to  the  confidence  and  support  of  our  people.  In  eighty-three 
years,  this  Society  has  printed  and  circulated  more  than  sixty-three  million 
copies  of  the  Bible,  in  this  and  foreign  lands,  to  aid  the  missionaries  in  bring- 
ing men  and  women  to  God  ;  therefore, 

Resolved,  1st,  That  we  learn  with  regret  that  the  Board  of  Managers,  because 
of  the  falling  off  in  the  collections,  found  it  necessary  to  dispense  with  the 
services  of  district  superintendents  ; 

Resolved,  2nd,  We  recommend  that  one  hundred  dollars  be  distributed  to 
each  one  of  the  districts,  for  this  Society. 

Resolved,  3rd,  That  we  heartily  endorse  the  administration  of  Rev.  W.  J. 
Vigus,  D.  D.,  as  superintendent  for  Indiana,  who  has,  so  ably  and  well,  managed 
the  affairs  of  the  Society  in  his  field  of  labor. 

S.  C.  Miller,  Chairman. 
J.  W.  Miller,  Secretary. 

BOOK    COMMITTEE. 

Dear  Fathers  and  Brethren  : 

We  ask  your  careful  study  of  the  exhibit  hereto  appended,  showing  the 
measure  of  business  and  the  degree  of  prosperity  realized  by  our  Book  Concerns 
in  the  fiscal  year  closing  October  30,  1897. 

There  is  much  for  which  to  be  grateful.  The  business  has  more  than  kept 
pace  with  the  general  commercial  interests  of  the  country,  and  our  property, 
credit  and  trade  are  on  a  safe  foundation.  We  are  persuaded,  however,  that 
the  amount  of  business  secured  is  not  proportional  to  the  greatness  and  needs 
of  our  constituency.  If  you  all  realized  how  dependent  our  publishing  interests 
are  upon  your  active  co-operation,  sales,  profits  and  dividends  would  be  much 
larger. 

We  very  deeply  regret  that  we  are  compelled  to  decrease,  for  the  coming 
year,  the  annual  dividend.  A  reduction  of  20.  per  cent,  we  regard  as  imperative. 
The  large  subsidies  directed  by  the  General  Conference,  the  demands  for  new 
machinery  and  other  improvements,  and  the  greater  protection  of  our  business 
against  rival  institutions,  force  us  to  this  action. 

The  change  of  form  in  oar  Advocates,  and  our  Sunday  school  literature  in 
part,  the  enlargement  of  their  scope  and  contents,  and  a  consequent  larger 
expenditure,  without  an  increase  in  the  price,  call  for  greatly  increased  sub- 
scription lists.  We  are  compelled  to  say  that  in  certain  quarters  so  earnest 
effort  is  not  given  to  the  circulation  of  our  periodicals  as  their  merits  and  their 
ability  to  bless  pastor  and  people,  Churches  and  Sunday  schools,  authorize,  and 
as  we  have  a  right  to  expect. 


52  Reports.  [1898 


We  appeal  to  you  to  stimulate  in  every  suitable  way  the  circulation  of  our 
books  and  periodicals,  believing,  as  we  do,  that  you  will  thereby  develop  a 
more  loyal  and  stalwart  Methodism,  increase  the  evangelistic  spirit  among  our 
people,  add  to  our  benevolences,  and  bring  to  the  honored  claimants  of  the 
Church  what  their  needs  and  services  make  their  just  due. 

The  collecctions  for  the  Episcopal  Fund  aggregated  about  five  per  cent 
more  in  1897  than  in  1896,  but  were  not  sufficient  to  meet  current  expenses. 
The  small  surplus  on  hand  some  years  ago  is  now  exhausted.  We  are  surprised 
that  in  some  Conferences  the  collections  are  so  far  below  the  apportionments. 
The  apportionment  is  one  and  one-fourth  per  cent  on  ministerial  support, 
and,  according  to  the  law  of  the  Church,  the  Bishops  must  share  pro  rata  with  Pre- 
siding Elders  and  Pastors. 

It  is  known  to  you  that  the  duty  of  celecting  the  location  and  providing 
for  the  expense  of  the  next  General  Conference  is  assigned  to  the  Book  Com- 
mittee. All  necessary  expenses  of  delegates  are  paid  by  the  Church.  The 
General  Conference  committee  will  estimate  the  amount  needed,  and  apportion 
the  same  to  the  Conferences.  Our  people  cheerfully  met  this  expenditure  the 
last  quadrennium,  and  will  do  so  this,  when  they  learn  their  share  of  responsi- 
bility.    The  collections  for  it  should  be  taken  daring  the  year  1898. 

We  earnestly  plead  for  an  intense  loyalty  to  all  these  interests  so  necessary 
to  our  prosperity  and  usefulness,  and  such  a  use  of  all  the  agencies  of  the 
Church  as  shall  bring  at  last  the  "  well  done  "  of  the  Master.

COMMITTEE  ON   CHURCH   EXTENSION. 

The  Board  of  Church  Extension,  of  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  makes 
report  of  its  progress  and  needs  in  its  bi-monthly  magazine,  Christianity  in 
Earnest. 
From  1866,  when  this  work  began,  to   March  1,    1S98,  the  Board 

collected  and  disbursed §6,019,000 

Of  this,  the  General  Fund,  derived  chiefly  from  collections, 

personal  gifts  for  Frontier  Churches,  $250  each,  and 

Mountain  Fund  specials  of  $100  each,  all  for  use  by 

donations  for  churches,  has  aggregated $3,873,090 

The  Loan  Fund  has  a  permanent  capital  of  .    .   $1,025,000 
And  churches  borrowing  have  returned    .    .    .      1,121,000 


Giving  for  use  bv  loans $2,146,000 


Making  the  aggregate  above  given $6,019,000 

With  this,  the  Board  aided  10,612  churches  —  moir   than  one-third  of  the 

entire  number  owned  by  our  denomination. 

Our  Conference  has  shared  in  this  work,  as  follows : 

The  collections  taken  iu  our  churches,  from  the  beginning  to  Novem- 
ber 1st,  1897,  the  close  of  the  last  fiscal  year  of  the  Board, 
aggregated $33,956  90 

To  this  our  Conference  adds  this  year 2,830  00 

Making  a  total  of $36,786  90 

Thirty-seven  churches  within  our  bounds  have  received  aid  up  to  Xovember 
1st,  1897 :     By  donations  of  $6,800,  and  loans  of  $12,150. 

The  part  our  Conference  is  to  take,  in  both  giving  and  receiving,  is  defi- 
nitely fixed,  under  provisions  of  Discipline,  by  the  General  Committee  from 
year  to  year. 

For  the  ensuing  year,  our  Conference  is  asked  to  raise  by  collections,  $5,000. 
Our  needy  churches  may,  on  approved  applications,  receive  $700. 

The  amount  of  aid  granted  must  depend  on  the  amount  of  the  collections 
taken,  and  cannot  exceed  the  proportion  above  indicated.  Interest,  therefore, 
in  our  own  Conference,  as  well  as  in  the  general  cause,  should  inspire  us  to  use 
all  diligence  to  secure  the  full  amount  asked,  and  if  possible  go  beyond  it. 

Church  Extension  and  Missionary  work  go  hand  in  hand.  The  proportion 
asked  is  as  $1  to  $4.  It  should  b»  remembered,  however,  that  our  Sunday 
schools  as  well  as  churches  give  for  Missions,  while  we  rely  wholly  on  the 
church  collections  for  Church  Extension.  Let  us  remember,  also,  that  the 
voice  of  the  pastor  is  the  only  living  voice  that  can  reach  all  our  people,  and 
that,  if  any  be  silent,  his  people  will  neither  hear  nor  care  for  this  great  cause. 


56  Reports.  [1898 


Intelligent  interest  in  Missions  should  carry  with  it  interest  in  Church  Exten- 
sion also ;  for,  it  is  estimated,  that  of  every  five  dollars  annually  contributed  to 
Missions,  one  dollar  comes  from  the  churches  aided  by  our  Board  of  Church 
Extension,  during  the  last  thirty  years. 

Christianity  in  Earnest,  with  its  bi-monthly  visits,  will  furnish  to  all  who 
receive  it,  the  latest  tidings  of  this  work  and  its  wants.  It  should  find  cordial 
welcome  by  all  who  pray  and  work  for  the  coming  of  the  kingdom.  No  pastor 
or  intelligent  layman  who  would  know  the  work  of  his  church,  should  be 
without  it. 

Glad  Tidings,  with  facts  and  figures  condensed,  and  with  sweet  songs  for 
every  voice,  will  help  in  public  service,  with  collections,  and  maps  showing  the 
work  at  a  glance  will  be  added  when  desired ;  and  all  for  the  asking  and  the 
bare  cost  of  printing  and  mailing.  If  this  work  shall  languish,  we  and  our 
people  will  surely  be  without  excuse. 

We  recommend  for  adoption  the  following  Resolutions  : 

1.  We  heartily  congratulate  the  Board  of  Church  Extension,  and  the 
church-at-large,  on  the  remarkable  success  of  this  work  through  a  period  of 
thirty  years. 

2.  That  our  country,  being  new,  with  rapidly  increasing  population  and 
unlimited  resources,  will  continue  to  need  Church  Extension,  in  the  future  as 
in  the  past,  and  that  our  church,  by  fostering  and  strengthening  this  work,  will 
increase  its  own  power  to  promote  all  forms  of  Christian  and  benevolent 
activity. 

3.  That  we,  as  a  Conference,  will  not  be  content  with  anything  less  than 
a  full  response  to  the  call  of  the  General  Committee  for  our  proper  share  in 
Church  Extension,  until,  everywhere,  in  communities  now  destitute,  the  people 
shall  have  opportunity  to  "  enter  His  courts  with  praise." 

4.  That  our  Presiding  Elders  be  requested  to  apportion,  with  care,  the  full 
amount  asked  for  Church  Extension,  to  the  several  Districts  and  pastoral 
charges  for  collection  ;  and  that,  availing  ourselves  of  the  helps  provided  by 
the  Board,  and  especially  Chrislianity  in  Earnest  and  Glad  Tidings,  we  will  pre- 
sent this  cause  in  all  our  churches,  and  endeavor  to  secure,  at  least,  the  amount 
asked,  in  accordance  with  the  plan  of  our  Discipline. 

By  order  of  the  Committee, 

Theo.  F.  Frech,  Chairman. 
Chas.  B.  Wilcox,  Secretary.

CHRIST    HOSPITAL. 

Whereas,  We  have  heard  from  Dr.  H.  C.  Weakley  of  the  continued  growth 
and  usefulness  of  Christ  Hospital,  in  Cincinnati,  an  institution  opei'ated  by  a 
Methodist  Sisterhood  of  trained  nurses,  under  the  control  of  our  beloved 
Church, 

Resolved,  That  we  hereby  approve  of  this  gracious  ministry  to  the  children 
of  affliction,  and  declare  our  increasing  interest  in  this  merciful  work  of  the 
Church.  We  recognize  its  just  claims  upon  all  our  churches  situated  within 
its  natural  patronizing  territory,  and  most  earnestly  commend  this  cause  to 
the  liberality  of  our  people,  and  would  rejoice  to  see  the  endowment,  in  per- 
petuity, of  a  North  Indiana  Conference  Free  Bed,  where  our  worthy  sick  poor 
can  be  cared  for  in  all  the  years  to  come.

CLASS  MEETINGS  AND  YOUNG  PEOPLE'S  WORK. 

We  recognize  in  the  Class  Meeting  one  of  the  great  sources  of  the  spiritual 
power  and  life  of  Methodism,  and  we  note  with  regret,  that  in  many  places 
this  valuable  means  of  grace  is  but  indifferently  used  or  neglected  entirely ; 
therefore,  we  urge  upon  the  pastors  of  the  North  Indiana  Conference,  to  work 
and  pray  for  a  revival  in  Methodism  along  the  lines  of  the  Class  Meeting. 

We  also  recognize,  in  the  Epworth  League,  very  largely,  the  hope  of  future 
Methodism.  The  church  will  be  stronger,  purer  and  more  useful  because  of 
the  training  given  in  the  Epworth  League.  We  see,  by  the  reports  of  the 
Presiding  Elders,  that  the  Epworth  League  has  been  a  very  potent  factor  in 
revival  work  in  the  North  Indiana  Conference,  the  past  year.  Therefore,  we 
recommend  a  closer  identification  of  the  League  and  church,  making  these 
young  people  to  feel  that  they  are  a  ])art  of  the  church,  and  not  an  organiza- 
tion to  themselves,  simply  to  bear  some  financial  burden,  but  to  take  part  in 
the  general  work,  and  to  enjoy  the  spiritual  life  of  the  church.  We  heartily 
commend  the  spirit  of  the  young  people's  societies  of  this  Conference  in  so 
fully  identifying  themselves  with  the  Epworth  League. 

We  approve  of  the  general  management  of  work,  also  the  new  Reading 
Course  and  the  English  Bible  Course. 

We  would  urge  systematic  benevolence  among  the  young  people  of  both 
the  Senior  and  Junior  Leagues. 

We  sanction  the  efforts  of  our  officers  to  secure  regular  attendance  from 
all  members  of  the  Epworth  League  upon  the  usual  church  services.  We 
would  urge  all  pastors  to  organize  Junior  Leagues  everywhere,  when  possible. 

We  recommend  the  Epworth  Herald  for  every  Christian  home. 

W.  D.  Parr,  Chairman.

COMMITTEE   ON    EDUCATION. 

IJE  PAUW    rXIVEKSITY. 

From  the  report  of  our  Visitors,  we  learn  that  the  enrollment  in  DePauw 
I^niversity  is  quite  up  to  last  year,  and  the  personnel  of  the  student  body  is 
excellent.  The  departments  are  well  defined,  and  are  under  as  strong  faculty 
as  any  school  in  the  country.  The  religious  spirit  among  the  students  is  most 
excellent.  The  University  maintains  its  old  character  and  its  loyalty  to  the 
Church,  notwithstanding  certain  flippant  and  sensational  statements.  The 
unparalleled  times  of  the  last  few  years  have  caused  great  shrinkage  in  the 
property  and  income  of  the  University.  The  DePauw  fund,  to  help  carry  the 
institution  till  the  will  should  be  executed,  ran  out  last  year,  so  that  the 
University  is  thrown  back  upon  the  Church  to  carry,  not  onlj^  till  the  DePauw 
estate  is  settled,  and  certain  other  property  turned  to  endowment,  but,  also, 
to  provide  for  this  great  school  larger  endowments  and  more  thorough  equip- 
ments. There  is  not  another  obligation  before  the  Church  in  Indiana  and  the 
central  west  more  sacred,  or  involving  more  for  the  country  and  the  Church, 
than  the  care  of  DePauw  for  the  next  few  years.     We  recommend — 

1.  That,  in  accordance  with  the  plan  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  as  endorsed 
by  our  Presiding  Elders,  ten  cents  per  member  be  apportioned  to  the  charges 
to  be  raised  for  DePauw  University  next  year. 

2.  That  we  endorse  the  third  Sunday  in  May  as  DePauw  Day,  and  urge 
its  observance  by  all  our  charges. 

3.  That  we  heartily  endorse  the  state  rally,  in  the  interest  of  DePauw 
University,  to  be  held  at  Indianapolis  April  26  and  27,  1898,  and  urge  as  large 
attendance  as  possible  of  both  ministers  and  laymen. 

4.  That  we  fully  approve  the  election  of  Dr.  W.  H.  Hickman  as  Vice- 
Chancellor,  cordially  invite  him  to  visit  our  charges,  and  cheerfully  commend 
his  plan  for  a  sustaining  fund. 

5.  That  James  F.  Elliott  and  Hugh  Dougherty  be  elected  as  Trustees  of 
DePauw  University  for  three  years,  from  September  1,  1898,  and  A.  W.  Lam- 
port and  C.  U.  Wade,  Visitors,  for  two  years,  from  September  1,  1898. 

0.  That  B.  A.  Kemp,  E.  T.  Gregg  and  M.  E.  Nethercut  be  appointed 
Visitors  to  DePauw  School  of  Theology,  and  that  E.  L.  Semens  and  C.  C.  Cis- 
sell  be  appointed  Visitors  to  Garrett  Biblical  Institute.

THEOLOdlCAL  SCHOOLS. 

It  is  recommended  that  young  men  who  expect  to  enter  the  ministry 
should  first  take  an  Academical  Collegiate  Course,  and  after  that,  a  thorough 
training  in  one  of  our  Theological  Schools. 

Boston  School  of  ThmJogy. —  Located  in  the  heart  of  the  city,  it  thus  affords 
to  students  the  advantages  of  great  libraries,  the  living  examples  of  great 
preachers,  and  the  varied  life  of  a  center  of  culture.  Living  is  cheap,  instruct- 
ors are  able,  and  an  evangelical  spirit  pervades  the  institution. 

Drew  TJiPological  Seminary. —  Eight  hundred  young  men  have  graduated 
since  its  opening,  in  1867.  Rooms  are  free  of  charge.  The  J.  B.  Cornell 
library  is  one  of  the  best  in  the  country.  Being  only  twenty-five  miles  from 
New  York,  it  offers,  in  addition  to  its  inherent  advantages,  an  opportunity  to 
stud}'  metropolitan  life. 

Garrett  BihllcaJ  Institute. — Beautifully  located,  in  a  grove  on  the  shore  of 
Lake  Michigan,  in  classic  Evanston,  within  close  touch  of  Chicago,  it  affords 
an  ideal  place  for  study.  The  Lniversity  library  and  laboratories  are  conveni- 
ently located.  The  institution  is  well  equipped— materially,  intellectually,  and 
si>iritually. 

DePeiuw  Theological  School. —  We  rejoice  in  the  great  good  that  this  institu- 
tion has  been  able  to  do.  We  respectfully  recommend  to  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  DePauw  that  the  number  of  teachers  be  increased.  But  if  the  financial 
affairs  of  the  institution  will  not  permit  of  this,  w'e  recommend  that  the  school 
be  discontinued  for  the  present. 

BOAED    OF    EDUCATIOX. 

As  twenty-two  students  during  the  last  year,  within  the  bounds  of  this 
Conference,  have  been  aided  to  the  amount  of  $1,023,  while,  during  the 
same  period,  our  Conference  raised  only  S934  for  the  same  cause,  we  recom- 
mend that  special  efforts  be  made  on  Children's  Day  to  increase  the  collec- 
tions. We  recommend,  for  use  on  Children's  Day,  the  "  Pictures  of  Heroic 
^Methodism,"  published  by  the  Book  Concern.  These  pictures  are  42  x  28 
inches,  and  beautifully  colored.  Six  great  epochs  in  the  history  of  Method- 
ism are  represented,  namely :  Epworth  Rectory,  The  Holy  Club,  An  Event- 
ful Card  Party,  Heroes  of  the  Saddle-bags,  Cokesbury  College,  and  The 
Future  Leaders  of  the  Church.

FREEDMAN'S  AID  AND  SOUTHERN   EDUCATION   SOCIETY. 

We,  your  Committee  of  Freedmau's  Aid  and  Southern  Education  Society, 
submit  the  following  report: 

The  work  of  this  Society  commends  it  to  the  favorable  consideration  of  all 
our  people.  It  has  expended  $4,250,000  in  the  South.  It  has  established  fifty 
schools  among  the  white  and  black  people  in  which  there  are  477  teachers  and 
8,396  students,  and  which  more  than  100,000  young  men  and  women  have 
attended. 

There  are  more  than  600,000  communicants  within  the  territory  of  this 
Society  depending  upon  it  for  their  religious  education,  therefore. 

Resolved,  1.  We  regret  that  5,000  charges  can  be  found  where  no  collec- 
tions were  taken,  and  3,000  more  that  gave  only  $1  for  the  work  of  this  Society 
last  year. 

2.  We  recommend  the  circulation  of  the  Christian  Educator,  published 
by  this  society,  among  our  people,  containing  information  concerning  the 
work  and  needs  of  the  Society. 

3.  That  \re  accept  the  apportionment  for  this  Conference. 

4.  That  we  urge  a  collection  in  every  charge,  with  the  use  of  literature 
and  envelopes  gratuitously  furnished  by  this  Society. 

5.  That  we  invite  the  Secretaries  of  the  Society  to  visit  our  respective 
charges.

MISSIONARY  CAUSE. 


We,  your  Committee  on  Missionary  Cause,  offer  the  following : 
Resolved,  1.     That  we  recommend  that  all  the  members  of  this  Conference 
adopt  some  systematic  plan  for  instructing  their  congregations  in  the  Mission- 
ary work  and  needs. 

2.  That  we  urge  upon  each  pastor  to  take  a  special  single  collection  for 
the  Missionary  Cause  very  early  in  the  year,  and  have  the  same  payable  as 
early  as  the  middle  of  November  or  first  of  December,  assuring  the  congrega- 
tions that  the  money  will  be  forwai'ded  at  once  to  the  Treasurers. 

3.  That  we  urge  all  ministers  who  have  not  done  so  to  take  a  collection 
or  pledge  for  the  Missionary  debt. 

4.  That  we  recommend  Missionarj'  Conventions  in  each  District,  under 
the  directions  of  the  Presiding  Elders,  to  be  held  in  every  charge,  during  the 
fall  months. 


North  India7ia   Co7i/erence.  6i 


5.  That  the  Presiding  Elders  of  each  District  appoint  a  Missionary  Secre- 
tary for  each  District  and  assign  his  duties.  * 

6.  That  we  appreciate  the  efforts  of  our  Secretaries  to  personally  visit  our 
charges  and  hold  mass  meetings  therein. 

7.  That  we  heartily  commend  the  work  of  our  Secretaries  and  Publish- 
ing Agents  to  furnish  the  Gospel  in  AU  Lands  to  ministers  free,  and  the   World 

Wide  Missions  to  families  or  persons  paying  SI  or  more  for  Missionary  work. 

8.  That  we  recognize  the  good  work  done  by  the  Woman's  Home  Mis- 
sionary Society  and  Woman's  Foreign  ^Missionary  Society,  and  that  we  will 
assist  them  and  their  workers. 

C.  U.  Wade,  President.

MORAL  AND  SOCIAL  QUESTIONS. 

Your  Committee  on  Moral  and  Social  Questions  submit  the  following : 
A  communication  from  the  Anti-Saloon  League,  inviting  our  co-operation 
by  naming  a  representative  on  the  National  Board  of  Directors,  meets  our 
approval,  and  we  name  Rev.  Thomas  Stabler,  D.  D.,  as  such  representative. 
Also,  we  name  as  delegates  to  the  National  Convention,  to  be  held  in  Cleve- 
land, Ohio,  December,  1898,  Rev.  W.  O.  Pierce,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  Frank  G. 
Browne,  Ph.  D. 

We  also  re-affirm  the  following  resolution,  adopted  at  our  session  last  year: 
Resolved,  That  we,  the  members  of  the  North  Indiana  Conference  of  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church,  declare,  before  all  the  world,  that  Christian  men 
and  women  ought  to  be  known  always  and  everywhere  as  the  relentless  and 
uncompromising  foes  of  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  intoxicating  liquors  as  a 
beverage,  and  that  it  is  their  imperative  duty  to  wage  a  ceaseless  warfare 
upon  this  question ;  and,  while  we  accept  restrictive  measures,  and  while  we 
indorse  the  Auti- Saloon  League,  and  while  we  re-affirm  our  approval  of  the 
Nicholson  Bill,  and  will  aid  in  the  enforcement  of  laws  for  the  overthrow  of 
the  saloon,  that  we  use  them  only  as  leading  toward  total  abstinence  on  the 
part  of  the  individual  and  absolute  prohibition  on  the  part  of  the  State  and 
Nation. 

We  are  also  pleased  to  receive  the  following  from  Bishop  Mallalieu,  which 
meets  with  our  heartj'  concurrence : 

Resolved,  That,  so  far  as  practicable,  we  will  make  special  effort  to  have 
our  congregations,  Sunday  Schools  and  Epworth  Leagues  observe  the  4th  of 
July  of  each  year  as  a  day  consecrated  to  the  promotion  of  the  Temperance 
Reform  ;  that  we  especially  seek  to  interest  our  children  and  young  people  in 
this  movement ;  that,  with  songs,  music,  speeches  and  various  services  in  our 
Churches,  public  halls,  or  groves,  we  will  strive  to  promote  a  proper  and 
Christian  celebration  of  the  birthdav  of  the  Nation,  in  the  cultivation  of  a 


62  Reports.  [1898 


sound  temperance  revival;  and,  finally,  that  we  invite  the  co-operation  of  all 
religious  bodies,  temperance  organizations,  young  people's  societies  of  what- 
ever name,  and  all  Churches,  Sunday  Schools,  pastors,  patriots  and  philan- 
thropists, in  the  effort  to  save  our  Nation  from  the  curse  of  drink. 

EPWORTH  LEAGUES. 

We  gratefully  recognize  the  moral  and  spiritual  power  of  our  Epworth 
Leagues,  but  we  view  with  alarm  the  tendency  in  some  Chapters  to  allow 
questionable  games  and  amusements  in  the  social  meetings. 

Resolved,  That  we  will  steadily  resist  this  tendency  by  all  proper  means, 
and  call  especial  attention  to  page  136,  paragraph  248,  in  our  Discipline,' which 
forbids  '•  playing  at  games  of  chance,  or  taking  such  other  amusements  as  are 
obviously  of  misleading  or  questionable  moral  tendency,  or  disobedience  to 
the  order  and  Discipline  of  the  Church." 

Resolved,  That  we  will  support  those  Assemblies  and  Camp-Meeting  Asso- 
ciations which  close  their  gates  on  the  Holy  Sabbath,  and  we  positively  con- 
demn all  Sunday  excursions  and  the  patronage  of  the  same  by  members  of 
the  Church. 

J.  B.  Ford,  Fresldent. 

O.  V.  L.  H.vRBcuTR,  Secretary. 


PARSONAGES  AND   FURNITURE. 

We  recommend  the  adoption  of  the  following  Eesolutions  : 

1.  That  any  charge  not  having  already  a  suitable  parsonage,  shall  provide 
one,  located  as  near  the  center  of  the  charge  as  possible,  so  as  to  be  on  a  railroad. 
That  we  do  not  approve  of  buying  old  buildings  for  parsonages,  just  because 
they  may  be  bought  cheaply.  That  in  building  new  parsonages,  great  care 
should  be  taken  in  securing  good  plans,  making  them  convenient  and  roomy. 

2.  That  all  parsonages  be  furnished  with  all  heavy  furniture,  and  that  the 
pastor  in  charge  see  that  the  furniture  be  kept  in  good  condition.

SUSTENTATION. 
We,  your  Committee  on  Sustentation,  report  as  follows : 
We  recognize  the  fact  of  the  great  need  of  financial  help,  and  we  are 
highly  gratified  with  the  amounts  raised  this  year. 

We  recommend  that  the  amount  of  82,000  be  apportioned  to  the  Districts, 
by  the  Presiding  Elders,  for  the  coming  year. 

And  we  recommend  the  distribution  of  the  amounts  raised  to  the  new 
and  needy  charges  in  each  District,  by  a  Committee  of  three  in  each  District, 
and  of  which  Committee  the  Presiding  Elder  shall  be  a  member  and  the  Chair- 
man.

COMMITTEE  ON   SUNDAY  SCHOOLS  AND    TRACTS. 


Recognizing  the  fact  that  the  Sundaj'-  School  is  the  place  where  we  have 
the  opportunity  of  molding  the  religious  life  of  the  children,  and  where  we 
have  the  only  opportunity  of  assisting  them  in  the  study  of  God's  word,  we 
most  earnestly  urge  upon  all  our  pastors  the  very  great  importance  of  making 
of  this  department  of  Church  work  a  real  stepi)ing  to  its  higher  obligations. 

To  this  end,  then,  let  great  care  be  taken  in  selecting  teachers  who  are 
intelligent,  earnest  and  godly  in  their  lives. 

Let  the  plan  of  normal  classes,  for  the  better  training  of  teachers,  be  car- 
ried out  wherever  practicable. 

Let  no  cheap  literature  supplant  our  own  Church  literature  in  any  of 
our  schools. 

AVe  recommend  the  organization  of  Home  Class  Department  work  where- 
ever  practicable.

Recognizing  the  evangelizing  agency  of  the  Tract  system,  because  of  its 
cheapness,  ease  of  circulation;  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  as  pastors,  we  make  a  free  use  of  Tracts  in  our  work,  and 
that  we  sanction  and  hereby  recommend  the  raising  the  full  amount  appro- 
priated to  our  Conference,  $765.

WOMAN'S  WORK  IN  THE  CHURCH. 

Woman's  work  in  the  Church  is  worthy  of  our  profound  consideration. 
Only  as  the  Gospel  prevails  will  woman  have  her  divinely  ordained  place  in 
the  various  relationships  of  life.  Her  many  bright  names  that  shine  in  all  the 
dispensations  of  the  Bible  indicate  something  of  the  purpose  of  God  concern- 
ing her  part  in  the  evangelization  of  the  world.  In  the  Church  to-day, 
through  the  unfolding  plans  of  God,  new  and  ever  enlarging  fields  of  Chris- 
tian activity  are  open  to  consecrated  womanhood.     Therefore, 

Resolved,  1.  That  we  believe  the  organized  forms  of  Christian  activity 
among  the  women  of  our  Church,  and  which  have  received  the  authoritative 
sanction  of  our  Church,  are  in  harmony  with  the  will  of  God. 

Resoh-ed,  2.  That  we  will  encourage  in  our  pastoral  charges  in  every 
proper  way,  both  in  public  and  in  private,  the  development  and  the  highest 
usefulness  of  the  auxiliaries  of  the  Woman's  Foreign  ^Missionary  and  of  the 
Woman's  Home  Missionary  Societies,  where  such  exist,  and  where  they  do 
not  exist  will  arrange  for  and  welcome  the  visitation  to  our  churches  of  any 
authorized  representatives  of  either  of  these  Societies  who  may  come  with  the 
view  of  organizing  auxiliaries. 

Resolved,  3.  That  an  efficient  Conference  Deaconess  Board,  consisting 
of  nine  members,  at  least  three  of  whom  shall  be  women,  be  appointed  by 
the  Conference  at  its  present  session,  to  carry  out,  as  far  as  practicable,  the 
provisions  of  the  Discipline  regarding  the  work  of  Deaconesses  among  us.

W^OMAN'S   FOREIGN   MISSIONARY  SOCIETY. 

This  Society  has  had  a  very  prosperous  year.  Twelve  auxiliaries,  two 
Young  Ladies'  Societies,  and  two  bands  have  been  organized,  making  a  total 
of  sixteen  new  societies,  and  several  members  of  the  "  Isabella  Thoburn" 
auxiliary  at  large. 

Associations  were  held  in  each  District  last  fall,  and  were  intensely  inter- 
esting and  very  helpful  to  all  who  attended  them.  Most  of  the  Societies 
report  promptly  each  quarter  to  their  District  Secretary  and  Conference  Treas- 
urer, and  show  an  increasing  interest  in  the  work. 

Most  of  our  auxiliaries  observed  "  Thank-offering"  Day  before  Conference. 
We  trust  those  who  did  not  will  observe  the  day  in  the  near  future.  This 
meeting  should  be  truly  a  thank  offering  service  when  we  recall  the  kindness  of 
our  Father,  and  praise  Him  with  a  loving  heart  and  generous  giving.

The  Conference  is  responsible  for  the  salary  of  Miss  Emma  Lamb,  a  Mis- 
sionary, who  goes  from  our  midst  to  Calcutta,  India.  It  is  expected  that 
each  Society  pay  som-ething  for  this  purpose  each  year  as  long  as  she  shall 
work  in  the  Mission  field. 

Fort  Wayne  District  supports  a  Bible  woman  in  Japan  in  memory  of 
Miss  Mollie  Collins,  for  many  years  their  Secretary,  but  now  a  member  of  the 
choir  invisible.  Goshen  District  supports  a  Bible  reader  in  Fukuoka,  Japan. 
Every  Society  in  the  District  assists  in  this  good  work. 

There  has  been  an  increase  in  special  work.  Fifty  different  scholars  are 
supported  by  auxiliaries  or  individuals.  Our  Father  calls  every  one  to  this 
Missionary  work.  We  will  not  be  satisfied  until  every  woman  in  our  Church 
shall  become  an  active  member. 

Figures  tell  only  a  small  part  of  the  work  of  the  Society,  but  it  will  pay  to 
study  prayerfully  these  which  follow  :

66  Resolutions.  [1898 


EESOLUTIONS. 


Resolved,  That  we  hereby  express  our  hearty  appreciation  of  the  hos- 
pitality and  many  special  kindnesses  shown  us  by  the  pastor  and  members  of 
this  Church,  and  all  the  good  people  of  Hartford  City.  They  have  made  our 
stay  with  them  delightfully  pleasant.  JNIay  they  be  abundantly  rewarded  by 
our  Heavenly  Father. 

Resolved,  That  our  thanks  are  due,  and  are  hereby  expressed,  to  the  banks 
of  this  city  for  special  favors  shown  us,  and  to  the  newspapers,  particularly 
the  Daily  News  and  the  Daily  Times,  for  the  superior  reports  of  the  Conference 
proceedings  which  they  have  furnished. 

Resolved,  That  we  recognize  the  kindness  of  the  Central  Passenger  Asso- 
ciation in  its  concessions  favorable  to' all  attending  the  sessions  of  the  Con- 
ference. 

Resolved,  That  our  worthy  Secretaries  and  their  assistants,  and  the  Treas- 
urer and  his  assistants  are  entitled  to  special  recognition  for  their  faithful, 
painstaking  and  eminently  satisfactory  labors.  We  commend  the  action  of 
the  Secretary  for  the  introduction  of  cuts  of  deceased  ministers  and  wives, 
along  with  their  memoirs. 

Resolved,  That  the  high  administrative  ability,  the  wdse  counsels  and  the 
brotherly  spirit  of  our  presiding  officer,  Bishop  Fowler,  have  made  a  most 
favorable  impression  upon  us.  We  pray  that  strength  and  vigor  may  be  his 
for  many  years  of  service  as  Bishop,  and  shall  be  delighted  when  he  may 
again  be  assigned  to  preside  over  our  Conference.

JULIA    A.    HARTMAN    BAKER. 

Julia  A.  Hartman  Baker,  daughter 
of  Isaac  and  Elizabeth  Hartman,  was 
born  in  "Westmoreland  county,  Pennsyl- 
vania, June  15,  1827,  and  died  at  her 
home  in  Warsaw,  Indiana,  April  10,  1897, 
aged  sixty-nine  years,  nine  months  and 
twenty-live  days.  She  was  clearly  and 
happily  converted  to  God,  and  identified 
herself  with  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  fifty-eight  years  ago.  She  moved, 
with  her  parents,  to  Findlay,  Ohio,  in 
1842,  and  was  married  to  her  now  deeply 
bereaved  husband  November  9,  1847. 
This  union  was  blessed  with  five  chil- 
dren, all  of  whom  have  preceded  her  to 
the  spirit  world.  The  reunion  now  is 
sweet.  In  October,  1852,  with  her  hus- 
band and  family,  she  moved  to  Kosciusko 
county,  Indiana.  In  1858  Brother  Baker  became  a  member  of  the  North 
Indiana  Conference.  She  was  his  full  partner  in  this  great  undertaking.  She 
was  a  home-lover,  but  cheerfully  denied  herself  any  and  all  things  for  the 
Master's  work.  She  gladly  performed  the  slightest  duty,  when  that  duty 
became  apparent,  meeting,  most  particularly  and  acceptably,  each  demand  as 
it  came.  This  she  did,  without  wavering,  for  twenty-five  years.  Failing  health 
finally  comj^elled  them,  in  1883,  to  retire  from  the  work.  This  she  did  very 
reluctantly,  and  said  that  it  seemed  almost  like  giving  up  her  life,  so  devoted 
was  she  to  the  work.  Since  that, time  she  has  been  unable  to  do  much  active 
work  for  the  Master,  but  her  interest  in  and  love  for  the  church  did  not  decrease 
with  her  declining  health  and  advancing  years.  It  seemed  rather  to  increase, 
and  nothing  filled  her  soul  with  as  much  joy  as  the  news  of  souls  born  into  the 
kingdom.  They  served,  together,  the  following  charges:  Bourbon,  Akron, 
Springfield,  Roanoke,  Leesburg,  Pierceton,  Pendleton,  New  Castle,  Waterloo, 
Columbia  City,  Hartford  City  and  Jonesboro. 

In  her  home  life  she  was  self-sacrificing,  almost  to  a  fault.  Her  great 
concern  was  for  the  happiness  and  comfort  of  others,  regardless  of  herself.  As 
a  mother,  she  was  kind,  gentle  and  loving;  as  a  wife,  she  had  no  superior, 
always  ready  to  cheerfully  do  everything  possible  for  the  happiness  of  her

husband.  Her  last  illness  continued  eight  months.  During  much  of  the  time 
she  suffered  most  intenseh',  enduring  it  all  with  wonderful  patience  and 
Christian  fortitude.  For  weeks  she  fully  realized  that  she  could  not  recover, 
and  expressed  her  perfect  resignation  to  the  will  of  God.  Quietly,  peacefully, 
trustfully,  she  stepped  into  the  chariot  of  Israel's  God  and  was  borne  away  to 
her  home  in  the  skies.  There  she  waits,  with  the  others,  to  welcome  the  one 
they  loved  so  well.  The  funeral  was  conducted  at  the  home  of  Brother  Baker, 
by  her  pastor.  Rev.  J.  A.  Beatty,  assisted  by  the  presiding  elder,  Rev.  J.  A. 
Lewellen,  Rev.  J.  H.  Jackson,  and  other  brethren  of  the  Conference.  She  was 
laid  to  rest  in  the  beautiful  cemetery  at  Warsaw.

REV.  JOHN   E.  EARP,   Ph.   D„   D.   D. 

The  subject  of  this  sketch  was  born  in 
Marion,  Illinois,  April  12th,  1846,  and  died 
at  Atlanta.  Indiana,  May  10th,  1897.  He 
was  of  Methodist  ancestry,  his  father  being 
a  useful  member  of  the  Southern  Illinois 
Conference.  When  twelve  years  of  age,  he 
gave  his  heart  to  the  Saviour  and  united 
with  the  church.  He  acquired  studious 
habits  in  childhood,  and  at  nineteen  he  was 
graduated  from  McKendree  College.  Three 
years  later,  in  1868,  he  received  the  Master's 
degree.  In  1879  he  received  the  degree  of 
Doctor  of  Philosophy  from  Lawrence  Uni- 
versity, and  in  1882  Dickinson  College  con- 
ferred upon  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of 
Divinity.  He  was  elected  professor  in  Cen- 
tral Wesleyan  College  in  1862.  In  1867-9 
he  was  a  student  at  the  Universities  of 
Tubingen  and  Berlin,  having  earned  the 
necessary  means  by  teaching.  He  was  called  to  DePauw  University  in  1869, 
and  in  1873  was  made  full  professor  of  modern  languages  in  that  institution. 
A  second  trip  to  Europe,  for  advanced  studies  in  German  and  French,  was 
made.  In  1876  he  was  admitted  to  the  North  Indiana  Conference.  He  became 
President  of  the  Southwest  Kansas  College,  at  Winfield,  Kansas,  in  1886, 
which  position  he  held  till  1890,  when  he  entered  the  pastorate  in  the  South- 
west Kansas  Conference,  having  been  transferred  in  1887.  In  this  relation  he 
served  the  following  charges :  Marion,  1890-2  ;  Kingman,  1893,  and  El  Dorado, 
1894-6.  In  order  to  be  nearer  his  sons,  he  was  transferred  to  the  North  Indiana 
Conference  in  1896,  and  stationed  at  Atlanta,  which  appointment  he  served, 
with  great  acceptability,  till  his  death.

Such  is  the  outhne  of  a  brief  but  very  useful  life.  What  patient  toil  and 
rigid  economy  must  have  been  crowded  into  those  brief  years,  to  make  such 
splendid  achievement  possible.  In  all  this  he  was  forgetful  of  self,  in  his 
endeavors  to  promote  the  welfare  of  others. 

"  In  the  reorganization  of  the  university  as  DePauw  University  he  did  a 
large  amount  of  work,  and  was  greatly  admired  by  Mr.  DePauw  and  other 
members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  his  business  insight  and  comprehensive 
management  of  all  the  affairs  intrusted  to  him." 

In  the  pastorate  Dr.  Earp  possessed  great  zeal  for  soul-winning,  and  was 
very  successful.  While  entertaining  large  views  of  what  ought  to  be  realized 
by  the  church,  he  never  lost  sight  of  the  minutest  detail  of  his  work.  He 
frequently  reported  to  his  presiding  elder,  explaining  his  methods,  every  item 
of  progress  and  evidence  of  divine  approval.  He  interested  himself  in  the 
work  of  his  neighboring  pastors,  and  while  at  Atlanta  he  was  a  member  of  the 
preachers'  associations  in  both  Hamilton  and  Tipton  counties.  Here,  as  else- 
where, his  ripe  scholarship  and  true  piety  made  his  services  most  valuable, 
and  they  were  greatly  appreciated. 

His  character  and  worth,  as  a  man,  was  ably  presented  by  the  Faculty  of 
DePauw  University,  from  which  we  make  the  following  extract : 

"  During  his  long  service  among  us,  as  a  professor  in  the  university,  he 
won  our  admiration  and  esteem  by  his  many  noble  qualities  and  rare  gifts  and 
attainments. 

"  We  recognized  in  him  a  most  manly  man,  a  courteous  gentleman,  and  a 
true  Christian. 

"  He  was  a  close  student  of  books,  of  men,  and  of  events,  and  was  always 
fully  abreast  of  the  times.  His  reasoning  was  always  clear  and  accurate,  and 
few  men,  whom  we  have  known,  possessed  to  so  remarkable  a  degree  the 
power  of  solving  the  difficult  and  intricate  problems  of  life. 

"  He  was  a  tireless  worker,  and  a  man  of  unbounded  energy  and  applica- 
tion. He  possessed  great  powers  of  application  and  endurance,  and  wasted  no 
time  upon  trifling  matters  or  in  frivolous  pleasures.  Life,  to  him,  was  too 
sacred  to  be  trifled  with,  and  time  too  precious  a  gift  to  be  wasted. 

"  He  was  as  true  to  principle  as  the  needle  to  the  pole,  and  possessed  the 
courage  of  his  convictions.  He  was  prompt  in  meeting  all  obligations  and 
engagements,  and  in  performing  every  task  and  fulfilling  every  duty  devolving 
upon  him,  conscientious  in  doing  the  right  thing  at  the  right  time  and  in  the 
best  possible  manner,  and  was  in  every  matter  reliable  and  trustworthy. 

"  While  he  was  by  nature  somewhat  cautious  and  reserved,  he  was  a  warm 
and  true  friend,  nor  did  he  spare  himself  any  labor  or  sacrifice  in  aiding  those 
in  need. 

"  He  was  economical  in  spending  money  upon  himself,  but  was  generous, 
almost  to  a  fault,  in  aiding  everj'  worthy  cause. 

"  He  was  a  man  who  loved  God  supremely  and  his  brother  as  himself,  and 
thus  his  was  a  consistent  Christian  life. 


78  Obituary.  [1898 


"  Such  he  was  as  we  knew  him  in  DePauw  University,  and  such,  and  much 
more,  he  has  doubtless  been  in  the  great  work  of  the  Christian  ministry." 

His  death,  which  was  caused  by  acute  inflammation  of  the  bowels,  was 
sudden,  and  a  great  shock  to  all.  But  he  was  not  taken  by  surprise  ;  he  was 
ready.  His  suffering  was  intense ;  but  he  retained  the  use  of  his  faculties  till 
the  end,  and  adjusted  all  his  private  affairs,  even  to  the  minutest  detail.  Hi& 
last  hours  were  most  triumphant.  The  old  habits  of  the  scholar  clung  to  him. 
He  knew  the  experience  he  was  passing  through,  and  studied  it  as  carefully 
as  he  ever  studied  a  proposition  in  philosophy.  His  conclusions  were  based 
upon  facts  gathered  from  the  experience  of  the  hour.  His  mind  was  engaged 
in  a  calm  yet  heroic  effort  to  enrich  itself  with  another  great  truth,  and  to 
communicate  it  to  those  around  him,  before  leaving  the  body.  Meanwhile, 
his  spirit  was  steadied  by  faith,  and  his  soul  was  buoyant  with  hope.  If 
Socrates  died  like  a  philosopher,  so  did  Dr.  Earp.  But  Dr.  Earp  also  died  like 
a  Christian. 

In  his  life  work  he  was  nobly  sustained  by  a  talented  and  accomplished 
wife,  who,  with  three  sons  —  Rev.  Joseph  Earp,  of  the  Philadelphia  Confer- 
ence ;  Ralph  Earp,  M.  D.,  and  Carl,  six  years  of  age  —  mourn  his  loss. 

In  addition  to  many  telegrams  and  letters  of  condolence,  memorial  services, 
were  held  in  former  charges. 

Short  services  were  held  in  Atlanta,  conducted  by  the  presiding  elder^ 
who  was  assisted  by  William  D.  Parr,  D.  D.,  C.  E.  White,  J.  F.  Radcliffe, 
W.  W.  Martin,  and  others. 

On  Thursday,  May  14th,  the  remains  were  taken  to  Greencastle,  Indiaria, 
accompanied  by  all  the  relatives,  a  number  of  the  citizens  of  Atlanta,  and 
others.  The  funeral  was  conducted  in  College  Avenue  Church  by  Rev.  H.  A. 
Gobin,  D.  D.,  assisted  by  Dr.  John  Boucher,  Dr.  T.  J.  Baseett,  M.  S.  Marble, 
and  J.  W.  Miller.  The  interment  took  place  in  Forest  Hill  Cemetery,  by  the 
side  of  his  two  little  boys,  who  preceded  him  several  years  ago.

MRS.   JOSINAH    MEDSKER. 

Mrs.  Josinah  Medsker  was  transferred 
to  the  Church  Triumphant,  from  her  home, 
424  Prospect  Avenue,  Kansas  City,  Mo., 
Thursday  a.  m.,  July  1,  1897,  at  the  ripe  age 
of  seventy-eight  years. 

She  was  the  daughter  of  James  Dodd, 
who  came  from  Virginia  to  Henry  county, 
Indiana,  while  our  sister  was  quite  a  small 
child.  She  was  married  to  Jehu  C.  Medsker 
March  12,  1835.  Blessedly,  they  walked 
life's  pathway  together  until  they  had  cel- 
ebrated their  fifty-seventh  wedding  anniver- 
sary. Brother  Medsker  departed  this  life 
August  9,  1891. 

Soon  after  their  marriage,  her  husband 
was  received  into  the  North  Indiana  Con- 
ference, he  being  received  in  1841.  He 
remained  an  honored  member  of  this  Con- 
ference until  he  was  called  home.  During 
the  twenty-nine  years  of  his  active  service  in  the  ministry,  they  had  many 
trials  and  hardships  to  endure,  for  the  country  was  new  in  those  days ;  but 
amidst  all  their  difficulties  ran  wonderful  streams  of  joy,  for  they  bore  all  their 
experiences  joyfully,  for  the  sake  of  Christ  and  His  church.  In  all  these 
responsibilities  our  sister  was  as  ready  for  her  part  and  as  strong  in  her  con- 
viction of  duty,  and  as  ready  to  do  the  will  of  the  Master,  as  her  husband.  In 
her  later  years,  as  she  spoke  of  those  days,  her  friends  loved  to  listen  and  never 
grew  weary  of  the  recital  of  such  interesting  pages  from  real  life,  but  felt  their 
own  hearts  strangely  warmed  and  impressed  towards  deeper  consecration  to 
the  Master's  work. 

In  the  year  1870  the  health  of  our  brother  compelled  him  to  retire  from 
the  active  ministry,  although  he  preached,  with  great  frequency  and  his  old- 
time  fervor,  for  nearly  ten  years  more  as  a  superannuate.  At  the  time  of  his 
retiring  they  moved  to  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  which  has  been  their  home  ever 
since.  Six  children  survive  them,  one  son  and  five  daughters.  They  were 
members  of  the  Grand  Avenue  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 

Sister  Medsker  was  a  great  sufferer  during  the  last  four  years  of  her  life, 
but  her  Christian  character  was  beautiful.  Her  face  continually  wore  a  smile 
of  Christian  triumph  and  contentment  that  was  ever  an  inspiration  to  her 
family  and  friends. 

She  talked  freely  of  the  experiences  of  their  active  ministry,  the  glorious 
triumphs  in  her  present  experience,  and  the  hope  of  home  gathering  in  the 
land  beyond.

Obituary. 


[1898 


After  she  was  deprived  of  the  pleasure  of  attending  divine  services,  noth- 
ing gave  her  more  pleasure  than  the  visits  of  her  pastor  and  old  friends,  to 
come  in  and  sing  and  pray  with  her. 

She  suffered  greatly  at  the  last,  but  in  death  her  features  resumed  their 
normal  expression  and  she  lay  as  one  asleep,  with  a  smile  of  blessed  delight 
upon  her  face.  It  was  not  like  death,  but  as  if  an  angel  of  peace  had  come  and 
kissed  away  the  marks  of  pain  and  left  the  brightness  of  heaven  upon  her 
countenance.  While  her  friends  could  not  but  be  sad  at  the  parting,  her 
victory  was  so  complete  that  they  felt  perfect  submission  to  the  Divine  will, 
and  were  confident  that  she  had  "entered  into  rest." 

Her  funeral  services  were  conducted  by  her  pastor,  Rev.  J.  W.  Hanchor, 
D.  D.,  assisted  by  the  Rev.  W.  A.  Quayle,  D.  D.,  Rev.  F.  B.  Price,  D.  D.,  her 
presiding  elder,  and  Rev.  A.  A.  Powell. 


REV.    CHARLES    E.    HOLLOPETER. 

Charles  Edwin  Hollopeter  was  born 
in  Cedarville,  Allen  county,  Ind.,  Sep- 
tember 20,  1869,  and  died  in  the  village 
of  his  nativity  July  23, 1897,  aged  twenty- 
seven  years.  In  the  month  of  February, 
1886,  under  the  preaching  of  James  H. 
Slack,  he  was  converted  to  God.  Feeling 
called  of  God  to  preach  the  gospel,  he 
attended  the  Fort  Wayne  Methodist  Col- 
lege, and  high  school  of  Valparaiso.  He 
was  licensed  to  preach  in  1892,  and  in 
1895  he  passed  the  examination  for 
admission,  on  trial,  at  the  Logansport 
session  of  the  North  Indiana  Conference, 
and  was  appointed  to  Butler  Circuit,  in 
the  Goshen  District.  His  work  in  the 
pulpit  and  as  a  pastor  was  highly  com- 
plimented by  the  people  he  served. 
Before  the  close  of  the  Conference  year  on  Butler  Circuit  his  health  failed,  and 
he  was  compelled  to  retire  from  the  pulpit  to  rest  and  recuperate,  and  with 
this  end  in  view  he  visited  the  health  resorts  of  Minnesota,  the  North  and 
California.  Returning,  he  began  teaching  school  and  preparing  for  his  Con- 
ference examinations  ;  but  that  fatal  disease,  consumption,  fastened  upon  him. 
Still  looking  on  the  bright  side,  he  requested  to  be  continued  in  the  Conference 
on  trial,  which  was  granted,  with  the  hopes  that  by  the  next  regular  session 
he  would  be  able  to  again  take  up  his  life's  work,  but  the  disease  made  rapid 
progress,  and  soon  all  of  his  cherished  hopes  were  shattered.  About  the  first 
of  July  he  began  to  sink  rapidly,  and  in  the  bright  afternoon  of  July  23rd  the

summons  came,  and,  surrounded  by  loving  friends,  he  passed  away,  to  be  with 
Jesus.  The  funeral  occurred  Sunday  morning,  July  25th,  from  the  Methodist 
Episcopal  Church  in  Cedarville,  his  pastor.  Rev.  Ralph  C.  Jones,  officiating. 


REV.  JAMES  JOHNSTON. 

James  Johnston  was  born  in  New  Jersey, 
December  15,  1821,  and  died  in  Pierceton, 
Indiana,  July  30,  1897,  aged  seventy-five 
years,  seven  months  and  fifteen  days. 

In  early  childhood  he  removed  with  his 
parents  to  Ohio,  and  there,  when  but  two 
years  old,  he  was  left  an  orphan.  He  lived 
with  strangers  till  fourteen  years  of  age, 
when  he  went  to  live  with  a  sister.  He 
learned  the  tailor  trade,  and  worked  at  that 
for  a  number  of  years. 

Coming  to  Indiana  in  early  manhood,  he 
made  his  home  in  Hagerstown  for  about 
eight  years.  There  he  was  licensed  to  preach, 
beginning  his  ministry  in  the  North  Indiana 
Conference  in  1853.  His  appointments  were 
as  follows :  1853,  Ossian  ;  1854,  Massillon 
Mission;  1855,  Spencerville  ;  1856-57,  Allen  ; 
1858-59,  Kendallville ;  1860,  Elkhart  Mission; 
1861,  Elkhart  and  St.  Joseph ;  1862,  La  Grange;  1863-64,  Ligonier  and  Haw 
Patch;  1865-66,  New  Paris;  1867-68,  Blountsville ;  1869-70,  Centerville  and 
Cambridge;  1871,  Williamsburg;  1872-74,  Pierceton;  1875-77,  Leesburg;  1878, 
Mexico;  1879-80,  Corrunna ;  1881-82,  VVawaka.  In  1883  he  took  a  superan- 
nuated relation.  During  his  superannuation  he  made  his  home  in  Pierceton. 
He  was  greatly  honored  and  beloved  by  those  who  knew  him.  Rev. 
James  Johnston  was  quiet  in  his  Christian  life,  though  the  fountain  of  his 
love  ran  deep.  He  had  a  large  heart,  with  "  charity  for  all,  and  malice  toward 
none." 

After  superannuation  he  preached  often,  taught  a  Sunday-school  class, 
and  in  a  general  way  looked  after  the  temporal  and  spiritual  interests  of  the 
church. 

He  had  been  a  sufferer  for  many  months  past,  and  seemed  to  realize  that 
the  end  was  near.  He  had  no  fear,  but  talked  of  his  departure  with  joy  and 
calmness.  He  said  to  his  pastor  a  few  days  before  his  departure:  "I  have 
followed  the  Lord  a  good  many  years,  imperfectly,  to  be  sure ;  but  he  has  been 
very  good  to  me,  and  I  long  to  see  the  King  in  his  beauty." 

"  It  is  all  right,"  he  remarked  to  a  member  of  the  family,  "  I  may  never 
shout  on  earth,  but  when  I  get  to  heaven  I  expect  to  have  a  long  and  loud 
shout  of  triumph  through  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ." 


Obituary. 


His  first  wife  died  while  he  was  pastor  in  Mexico,  in  1878. 

He  was  married  to  Mrs.  Sarah  M.  Long,  March  2,  1881.  Eight  children 
preceded  him  to  the  spirit  land,  one  son,  Samuel,  having  died  in  the  service 
of  his  country.  A  wife,  a  son,  and  two  daughters,  as  well  as  two  others  to 
whom  he  had  been  as  a  father,  are  left  to  mourn,  but  not  as  those  who  have 
no  hope. 

Funeral  services  were  conducted  at  Pierceton  by  his  pastor.  Rev.  J.  E. 
Erviu,  assisted  by  the  presiding  elder.  Rev.  J.  A.  Lewellen.  He  was  interred 
at  Leesburg.  W,  M.  ISelson. 


ELLA    M.    WELLS. 

Ella  M.  Wells,  wife  of  David  Wells, 
daughter  of  Henry  and  Hannah  Gilfin,  was 
born  in  Eagletown,  Ind.,  October  5,  1861. 
She  died  in  the  parsonage  at  Alto,  Indiana, 
October  1,  1897,  aged  thirty-five  years,  eleven 
months  and  twenty-six  days.  She  was 
united  in  marriage  to  David  Wells,  May  8, 
1880.  To  them  was  born  one  child,  Roy, 
who,  with  the  father,  is  left  to  mourn  the 
loss  of  one  so  saintly.  In  infancy  she  gave 
her  heart  to  God,  and  daily  lived  in  closest 
touch  with  Him.  In  1879  she  and  her  hus- 
band joined  the  United  Brethren  Church, 
but  in  1887  changed  their  affiliations  to  the 
M.  E.  Church.  In  1895  Brother  Wells  began 
his  work  as  a  minister,  and  the  following 
spring  was  admitted,  on  trial,  into  the  North 
Indiana  Conference.  She  entered  heartily 
with  him  into  the  spirit  of  the  work,  proving  herself  most  efficient  as  a  pastor's 
wife.  Prior  to  entering  the  ministry  they,  for  twelve  years,  had  taught  in  the 
public  schools.  She  was  a  faithful  teacher,  looking  into  the  souls  of  her  pupils 
to  discover  and  place  there,  if  possible,  the  image  of  the  Christ.  Her  experi- 
ence as  a  teacher  gave  her  special  qualifications  as  a  worker  in  the  Senior  and 
Junior  Leagues  and  Sunday-school.  Her  life  was  singularly  spiritual :  on  a 
plane  above  the  tangle  of  secular  affairs,  she  walked  hourly.  She  lived  not 
merely  to  gain  heaven,  but  to  bring  heaven  into  the  hearts  and  homes  of  all 
with  whom  she  came  in  touch.  She  was  a  great  sufferer,  but  a  greater  heroine. 
Pain  was  robed  in  the  gossamer  of  patience,  and  peace  attended  her  triumph- 
ant passing.  Sweet  peace  settled  upon  her  face  —  a  true  expression  of  her  soul. 
She  has  gone  to  be  with  Jesus.  Her  life  filled  and  thrilled  all  about  her 
with  a  yearning  for  something  better.  "  Let  me  die  the  death  of  the  righteous, 
and  let  my  last  end  be  like  His."  Her  funeral  services  were  conducted  by  her 
presiding  elder.  M.  S.  Marble,  and  her  remains  interred  in  the  Eagletown 
cemeterv.  E.  T.  Gregg.

ELIZABETH  STAYMAN   ELLIOTT  MECK. 

Elizabeth  Stayman  Elliott  Meek  was 
born  at  Brookville,  Franklin  county,  In- 
diana, April  14,  1824.  Early  in  life  she 
removed,  with  her  widowed  mother,  to  Car- 
lisle, Pa.,  and  later  to  Harrisburg,  Pa.,  where 
she  spent  the  days  of  her  youth.  She  was 
united  in  marriage  with  Rev.  H.  J.  Meek,  at 
Carlisle,  Pa.,  March  28,  1844,  and  died  at 
Kokomo,  Indiana,  February  16,  1898,  aged 
seventy-three  years,  ten  months  and  two 
days.  Her  husband  preceded  her  to  the 
tomb  a  number  of  years,  and  now  is  sleep- 
ing in  Crown  Point  Cemetery.  Eight  chil- 
dren blessed  this  union :  George  E.,  Harry  J., 
Will,  Augusta,  Mattie,  Morris  and  Charles 
are  still  living;  and  one,  Mrs.  Sarah  A.  Fos- 
ter, wife  of  H.  S.  Foster,  died  at  Union  City, 
Indiana,  January  30,  1892.  The  cause  of  her 
death  was  the  result  of  a  paralytic  stroke, 
received  two  years  ago,  from  which  she  never  fully  recovered.  For  a  number 
of  years  she  journeyed  side  by  side  with  her  husband,  who  was  one  of  God's 
chosen  ministers,  a  member  of  the  North  Indiana  Conference.  During  her 
long  life  of  usefulness  to  the  church,  her  family,  and  the  different  communi- 
ties in  which  she  lived,  she  shared  all  the  privations  and  triumphs  of  a  Meth- 
odist preacher's  life. 

She  was  a  pure,  lovable,  Christian  woman,  abounding  in  good  works. 
Early  in  life,  bowing  at  the  altar  of  the  church,  she  gave  her  heart  to  God. 
Never,  in  all  these  years,  has  she  swerved  in  the  least  to  the  right  or  left. 
When  the  end  came,  it  was  as  calm  and  peaceful  as  the  going  down  of  the  sun, 
surrounded  by  the  rich  halo  of  a  perfect  summer  day.  When  the  Master 
called  her  He  found  her  with  her  house  in  perfect  order,  ready  for  the  ferry- 
man. The  memory  of  her  sweet  disposition  and  pure  Christian  life  will  ever 
be  like  the  breath  from  fragrant  flowers.  To  the  living,  the  example  of  her 
life  has  been  an  inspiration,  born  in  a  heavenly  clime  and  wafted  on  the  wings 
of  love  along  the  highways  and  byways  of  life.  To  her  sorrowing  children  she 
has  left  the  pure  white  flower  of  a  blameless  life  and  the  rich  legacy  of  a 
Godly  example.     She  died  the  death  of  the  truly  faithful. 

The  funeral  was  held  at  Grace  M.  E.  Church,  Kokomo,  Indiana,  and  was 
conducted  by  her  pastor,  Rev.  W.  D.  Parr,  assisted  by  Presiding  Elder  M.  S. 
Marble  and  Rev.  C.  E.  White  of  Markland  Avenue  M.  E.  Church.  The  inter- 
ment was  at  Crown  Point  Cemetery.  E.  T.  Gregg.

MARY    MYERS    HOLDSTOCK. 

Mary  Myers  was  born  in  the  State  of 

Virginia,  about  the  year  1816,  and  died  in 

Muncie,  Indiana,  March  2,  1898. 

^r'^'^^^S^k^  ^^*'  ^^ti"^'6  place   was   near  the   head 

^m  ■■»*•  waters  of  the  Kanawha  river,  from  whence 

^r  ^JIMjjjj^^B^fe.-  her  parents  came  to  the  State  of  Ohio,  and 

^,   —se^     W  '  imXC.         lived  for  a  time  in  Preble  county. 

About  the  time  she  had  grown  up  tO' 
young  womanhood  they  removed  to  Elkhart 
county,  Indiana,  and  settled  in  what  is  now 
the  beautiful  little  city  of  Goshen. 

After  they  had  crossed  the  prairie  and 
were  approaching  the  village,  the  first  thing^ 
which  attracted  their  attention  was  the  lib- 
eral supply  of  hazel-brush.  They  went  ta 
house-keeping  in  their  wagons,  and  waited 
until  a  house  was  erected  for  them.  In  a 
few  years  she  was  married  to  John  Derlin,. 
with  whom  she  lived  about  fourteen  years.  By  this  marriage  there  was  born 
one  son,  who  died  in  early  life. 

She  was  again  married,  to  the  Rev.  Enoch  Holdstock,  in  1856,  with  whom 
she  also  lived  most  happily  until  his  death,  in  1894.  She  had  with  him  an 
experience  of  about  thirty-five  years  as  the  wife  of  an  itinerant  Methodist 
minister,  in  the  States  of  Michigan  and  Indiana. 

She  was  much  afflicted  with  lameness  for  many  years,  and  yet  she  was 
frequently  found,  with  her  husband,  in  the  homes  of  those  who  needed  sym- 
pathy because  of  their  sorrow. 

She  was  a  most  kind  and  affectionate  wife  and  mother,  and  was  greatly 
honored,  by  the  testimony  of  her  blind  step-son,  James  Holdstock,  who  said 
to  her  a  short  time  before  he  died,  "  You  have  been  a  good  mother  to  me." 
Many  of  us  who  have  been  much  about  their  home  can  corroborate  that  testi- 
mony. Not  unfrequently  step-mothers  perform  as  faithful  and  tender  a  part 
toward  even  afflicted  children  as  any  mothers  can  possibly  do. 

No  one,  perhaps,  enjoyed  the  society  of  her  friends  and  neighbors  more 
fully  than  did  Sister  Holdstock.  She  specially  enjoyed  the  company  of  minis- 
ters of  the  gospel ;  hence,  after  the  death  of  her  husband,  she  greatly  missed 
such  associations,  and  felt  that  it  was  a  real  and  painful  loss  that  they  did  not 
come  to  her  home  as  formerly.  Perhaps  in  this  fact  there  may  be  to  us,  as 
ministers,  a  significant  suggestion  as  to  our  duty  in  similar  cases  of  bereave- 
ment. The  influence  upon  the  home  life  can  scarcely  be  over-estimated,  either 
for  good  or  evil,  in  the  fact  that  a  good  or  bad  home  life,  whichever  it  may  be, 
must  so  largely  determine  the  character  of  influence  sent  out  upon  the  world 
through  children  and  others  who  have  been  nurtured  in  the  home.

In  the  home  was  where  Sister  Holdstock's  work  was  mostly  done.  Prov- 
idential environments,  as  they  seemed  to  be,  largely  confined  her  to  that 
sphere.  She  sends  out  into  the  world  a  lovely  Christian  daughter,  her  only 
living  child,  who  has  already  exerted  a  marked  influence  for  good  in  her  work, 
especially  among  young  people.  We  might  hesitate,  for  her  sake,  to  say  these 
things  if  she  were  present.  We  refer  to  the  wife  of  Rev.  J.  E.  Brown,  a  pastor 
in  the  Presbyterian  Church. 

In  her  eighty-second  year,  our  dear  sister  passed  from  her  home  on  earth, 
as  we  doubt  not,  to  her  home  in  heaven.  We  deeply  and  tenderly  sympathize 
in  the  behalf  of  the  daughter,  because  of  her  peculiar  and  profound  bereave- 
ment, and  ask  for  her  the  sufficient  grace  and  the  encircling  of  the  ever- 
lasting arms. 

Her  funeral  was  held  from  High  Street  Church,  Muncie,  conducted  by  her 
pastor,  Leslie  J.  Naftzger,  assisted  by  Ezra  F.  Hasty  and  others.  She  was 
interred  in  Beech  Grove  cemetery.  E.  F.  Hasty. 


REV.    DAVID    D.    SMITH. 


David  D.  Smith  was  born  November  14, 

1872,  in  Sandusky  county,  Ohio.     He  came, 

^^a^^  with  his  parents,  to  Steuben  county,  Indi- 

jP^^IBH^k  ana,  in  the  fall  of  1883;   was  a  student  of 

i  ^  the  Tri-State  Normal  College  at  Angola.    He 

^■■^    if^  W^  followed  the  profession  of  school  teaching, 

y  teaching  part   of  the  time    and   attending 

school  part  of  the  time,  that  he  might  more 

fully  prepare  himself  for  his  life  work. 

He  was  married  to  Miss  Leora  V. 
Hathaway  September  19,  1894,  in  York, 
Steuben  county,  Indiana. 

He  entered  the  ministry  in  the  North 

Indiana  Annual  Conference  in  1895,  his  first 

charge  being  Wolf  Lake,  which  he  served 

two  years.     In   1897  he  was  appointed   to 

Portland  Circuit,  which  charge  he  served 

until   his  death.     He    was  taken    ill   with 

typhoid  fever  September  25.     His  sufferings  were  intense,  but  with  Christian 

resignation  and  patience  he  endured  all  without  a  murmur.     He  had  no  fears 

of  death  and  declared  his  readiness  to  go. 

Brother  Smith  was  studious,  zealous  and  faithful  to  his  call  as  a  messenger 
of  the  cross.  His  decease  occurred  November  6,  1897,  at  his  home  at  Sala- 
monia,  Ind.  He  leaves  a  father,  mother,  two  brothers,  wife  and  little  son,  who 
deeply  mourn  their  loss.  Funeral  services  and  interment  at  Salamonia,  Rev. 
M.  A.  Harlan  officiating.  W.  M.  Nelson.

Appointment  Record. 


APPOINTMENT  EEOORD. 


The  following  Record  is  a  continuation  of  that  prepared  by  Rev.  L.  W. 
Monson,  as  found  in  his  valuable  Manual,  and  brought  down  to  1889.  An 
effort  is  made  to  condense  as  much  as  possible  by  using  abbreviations  easily 
understood.  The  figures  "18"  are  omitted  from  the  years  given,  as  all  the 
appointments  are  in  this  century.  In  some  instances  no  record  is  made  of 
service  in  other  Conferences,  because  of  the  lack  of  data.

We  call  attention  to  the  fact  that  we  have  done  work  at 

Muncie,  Logansport,  La  Grange,  Hartford  City,  Elkhart,  Decatur, 
and  most  of  the  new  Churches  in  the  Conference. 

We  are  now  prepared,  as  never  before, 
to  do  first-class  work. 

OUR    PRICES  Will  be  fonnd  the  lowest  consistent 
with  first-class  workmanship.    .  .  . 


We  take  great  pleasure  in  recommending  0.  J.  Kover  &  Son  as  first- 
class  workmen.  Their  Colors  stand  the  test  of  years.  They  are  thoroughly 
Reliable  and  Competent  in  every  particular.

Mv  people  are  delighted  with  our  splen- 
did "lights  and  the  beautiful  appearance 
they  make.  Everywhere,  and  by  all  sister 
churches,  they  have  been  given  the  highest 
praise,  and  we  have  a  well-lighted  church. 
Anv  one  in  need  of  lights  will  make  no 
mistake  if  they  put  a  Fpink  Reflector  in  their 
church;  they  excel  all,  and  if  any  one 
doubt  it  they  can  go  and  see  a  church  that 
is  lighted  with  them  and  be  convinced.
