REPORT ORPHANAGE BOARD TO ANNUAL CONFERENCE The Orphanage has enjoyed a prosperous and peaceful half year. This

has been a season of constructive activity in several important particulars, made possible by the wise management of children and careful expenditure of funds, provided by a generous people.

Although it requires a longer time than the few months given supervision

Page 38: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

36 JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA CONFERENCE

by the present management to accomplish all that has been outlined, splendid results are evidenced.

There is a fine opportunity here for a magnifiecnt plant, with twenty-five acres of well-located campus, grove and farm, and after years of hope de­ferred and untiring toil there is prospect that the dream is being realized.

The improvements for the half year comprise a number of much-needed repairs and building, with definite arrangements for increased quarters.

The permanent .rlant consists of the Girls' Dormitory, living rooma, dining room and kitchen (Building No. 1). The Boys' Dormitory, a hrick and stone two-story building, the first floor devoted to an assembly room, office and visitors' bed room (Building No. 2). The little children's dorm!·· tory, a one-story concrete building admirably fitted for the younger children (Building No.3). A small cottage (Building No. 4). The Superintendent's residence, a newly constructed bungalow of six rooms (Building No. 5) and such outside smaller buildings used for electric plant, etc.

Various repairs and improvements have been made during the six months, such as new fencing and grading, the addition of the electric laundry, gift of Mr. Charles S. Hall of Bradenton; the painting of the interior of the Girls' Dormitory; the placing of windows on the screened porches of two dormi­tories, building book cases and other additions. Also providing play-ground equipment.

Plans are now completed for the erection of a commodious fireproof building for general purposes, new dining rooms and Girls' Dormitory at an estimated cost of fifty thousand dollars. This is made possible through the fund raised by the Field Agent, Rev. Smith Hardin.

The operations of the farm are up to the standard with all the available land in cultivation. Growing crops for home consumption and there is now a larger herd of cows increasing the milk supply materially, a much de­sired addition in the interests of the younger children especially. The gen­eral health of the children has been exceptionally fine, with the exception of a light epidemic of flu during the winter.

The children have been examined by a representative of the State Board of Health and pronounced above the average of community children.

Clothing is being furnishd in many cases ·by Sunday school classes, Mis­sionary Societies and individuals and this is worthy of emulation by others. The spiritual interests of the children are being looked after with care. Daily prayers, scripture readings, hymn~ and vesper services being held.

At this time there are employed in the immediate work, a farmer, four matrons, music teacher; stenographer and cook. There were admitted, dur­ing the past six months, children ----------·-··-----·--------··-·-···-------·------··----········ .. -····· 18 Adopted by various persons ............... -----------····---·-···-····-·······---......................... 3 Half orphans returned to parents ----------------------------------------------------................ 5 Positions found for matured orphans ...................... ---------------------------------------- 2 Number persons now in orphanage ----------------·-·---·-----.... ----------------.. ·--- .............. 97

Report of Board of Education~Rev. J. H. Daniel read the follow­ing report of the Conference Board of Education which was adopted after W. A. Cooper, W. P. Buhrman, and H. H. Sherman had spoken briefly.

REPORT OF BOARD OF EDUCATION

We are gratified in being able to sound a note of optimism in our report to you on your educational interests. The past six months have been crowned with labors and, through the blessings of our Father, have proved fruitful.

At the last session you sent us forth to raise an endowment and working capital of $1,000,000.00. We come back to you with the Conference not more than half canvassed, with ·the total subscription of more than $1,200,000.00 and ask you to authorize us to continue for another Conference year, in compliance with the .following Resolution, which we ask you to approve, adopted by the Trustees of Southern College and this Board:

Resolved: Whereas, the Conference at its last session authorized the Presi­dent of Southern College to institute a campaign to raise one million dollars from the entire State of Florida, and,

Whereas, the campaign so far concluded in the towns of Fort Myers, Brad­enton, Bartow, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Tampa, Lakeland, Jacksonville, Miami, and (Plant City in part) has yielded one million two hundred thou­sand dollars, and,

Whereas, it is manifestly unjust to these towns, and to the rest of the State as well, to discontinue the campaign until the whole State has been canvassed, therefore,

Be it Resolved, That the President of Southern College be authorized and instructed to continue the campaign until all parts of the State have been worked; and in doing so, to challenge the remainder of the State to duplicatE what the above named towns have done.

In this connection, we desire here to record our sincere appreciation of the very efficient work of our Secretary-Treasurer, Rev. A. Fred Turner, in his untiring labors, in his whole-soul devotion to the task assigned him, and to note our deep regret that we could not persuade him to continue in our educational work.

We have decided to follow the plan suggested by our General Board of Education, viz: to place all unpaid pledges secured in the Christian Educa­tion Movement in the hands of the Board of Trustees of Southern College fot collection.

We desire to express our appreciation in the action of the Methodist Foundation in postponing its campaign for funds until Southern College has completed its present campaign.

During the last year Southern College enrolled 396 students, most of whom took the regular College Courses. We are now recognized, conditionally by the Southern Association of Colleges arid Secondary schools, and we hope, shortly, to be accepted into full membership by this Association. Southern College has been elected to full membership in the American Association o! Colleges and also to the Southern Inter-Collegiate Athletic Association. Our plans are for enrollment of 500 students for the coming year. Our College is prospering under the excellent leadership of its President.

We submit for your consideration and approval the following items: 1. We recommend that our assessment for educational purposes for the

year 1926-1927 be fixed at $30,000.00. 2. We urge our pastors to stress life service appeal and to co-operate

Page 42: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

with the General Board of Education in its plans for Bible Conferences and Summer schools.

3. To fill vacancies, due to expiration of terms, we recommend for your election, the following as members of the Board of Trustees of Southern College to serve until the 1929 session of our Conference: S. W. Walker, J. P. Hilburn, G. S. Roberts, W. P. Buhrman, L. W. Duval, L. P. McCord, J. J. Swearingen, J. H. Mercer and as Alumni Trustee, J. H. Daniel.

4. We recommend the appointment as President of Southern College, Ludd M. Spivey; for Professors of Southern College, Olin Boggess and G. F. Scott; C. W. Alford, student to Emory University; Don A. Cooke, student to Yale; A. C. Riviere, student to Drew Theological Seminary; R. H. Barnett, as Trustee of vV esleyan College.

5. The General Board of Education has fixed the assessment on the Florida Conference for the quadrennium 1926-1930 for General Education, $3,430.00 and for Theological Schools, $2,127.00.

we are grateful to all our pastors, presiding elders, members of our church and to friends for their loyal support and for the liberality in our campaign for Southern College.

Respectfully submitted, L. W. DUVAL, President. J. H. DANIEL, Secretary.

Anastasia Assembly-Rev. W. A. Myres presented the report of the trustees of the Anastasia Methodist Assembly, which was merely a matter of record as follows:

The affairs of this corporation have been brought to a successful con­clusion. We have assets secured by first mortgages in the sum of thirty thousand dollars bearing interest at the rate of eight per cent. per annum. We have reduced our indebtedness by twelve hundred dollars the past year.

We attach hereto a financial statement from George V. Salger, Treasurer. We recommend election of the Board of Trustees. W. A. Myres, president; I. S. Patterson, vice-president; G. V. Salzer, Secretary; R. L. Fisher, J. M. Peeler, L. P. McCord, F. E. Steinmeyer, C. W~ Dudley, D. G. Barnett, W. S. Hullett, and J. J. Hurd in the place of John A. Futch, deceased.

We ask that this Conference endorse the plans of the Board to use the funds now belonging to this Board for the erection of a dormitory on the campus of Southern College on such terms as may be agreed upon by the Board of Trustees of Southern College and the Board of Trustees of Anastasia Methodist Assembly, Inc.

Board Missions-Report Number 1, Board of Missions, was adopted without being read again, having been read before the anniversary meeting of the Board on Friday night. It is as follows:

BOARD OF MISSIONS

Report No.1

With profound and humble gratitude your Board of Missions submits its final report for the four years now ending. God, in His mercy, has greatly blessed and guided the Board in its operations, so that we bring to you results which must gladden the heart of our Lord. We have handled a sum of money larger than ever before without the loss of a single dollar, and with practically no dissatisfaction as far as the Board is aware.

We bespeak for the new Board the same measure of loyalty and co-opera­tion that has been given to us. More than this, we could not wish nor could any Board desire more.

General Board Matters

The Christian Centuries have not written a more glorious chapter than the Missionary story of our church during the past four years. The whole world has passed through a period of unprecedented financial strain and re-adjust­ment during these four years. All the great mission boards have suffered serious depletion as the result of this financial strain and re-adjustment.

Page 44: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

42 JOCRNAL OF THE FLORIDA COKFERENCE

Some of the boards have barely escaped financial disaster. Our own Board has suffered seriously, but thanks be to God, we have been able to carry on in every field without serious retrenchment. It is true, sadly true, that a forty per cent. cut in salaries and in maintenance has had to be made. But our Missionaries and our people in all the mission fields, at home and abroad, have heroically taken the cut and stood by the work.

It now requires about two and a quarter million dollars each year to maintain the missionary work of our General Board. Of this sum about one million dollars had to be raised last year as a Special known as "The Maintenance Special." The General Conference at its recent session made provision for raising this special each year of the next four years during the ~onths of January and February. We feel certain that our Conference will gladly undertake each year its share of this Maintenance Special, and that each year it will write as fine a chapter of achievements as it wrote in the campaign this year.

The General Conference re-organized the General Board of Missions so as to reduce the number of departmental secretaries and the expense of the Board as far as possible. It elected Dr. W. G. Cram to be General Mission­ary Secretary for our Church during the next four years, and committed to him very large administrative and executive power. \Ve bespeak for him the fullest measure ·of co-operation.

The representative on the General Board from the Florida Annual Con­ference is Rev. W. F. Dunkle. The new constitution provides that he shall also be ex-officio a member of the annual Conference Board of Missions and also that the President of the Conference Woman's Missionary Society, the Conference Missionary Secretary, and the Conference Lay Leader shall be ex-officio me]Ubers of the Conference Board.

The General Conference assessment for Missions each year for the next four years is $22,868.56 divided as follows: For Home and Foreign Missions, $21,273.04; for negro work, $1,595.52; which is approximately the same as­sessment the Conference carried for the past four years.

Annual Conference Board Matters During the period 1922-1926, the membership of our Conference has grown

from 48,031 to 58,035, a net gain of 10,004 members. Approximately a twenty per cent. increase. During this time, we raised for missionary purposes, in­cluding the Centenary, Specials, and from regular assessments $410,982.00, not including the moneys raised by the Sunday schools, Epworth Leagues, and the Woman's Missionary Societies.

The Woman's Missionary Society of the Conference began the period with 6,725 members and closed with 8,374 members, a net gain in membership of 1,649. During this period they raised $369,216.00 or a per capita of $12.34 annually. For the same period the per capitas missionary offering of our church membership was $3.73 per year. Together the Missionary Society and the Conference raised the Grand Total for Missions of $780,198.00. Wo are of the opinion that the Sunday school and Epworth League contributions added to the above would make a sum approximately $900,000.00, or an average of $4.00 per capita per year for the past four years.

No Conference in the connection has done better and few have done as well. But even this generous giving has not been sufficient to meet our grow­ing needs. And we have been compelled to see opportunity after opportunity slip away from us in our rapidly dveloping State. It is a situation that cannot ·be helped unless a larger revenue can be provided.

The Centenary

Dr. W. G. Cram, Centenary Director, for the past four years, and Colonel John E. Edgerton, Treasurer for the past four years, report a total of $463,100.00 paid by the Florida Conference on Centenary pledges from the beginning, of this amount $21,264.00 has been paid during the present Con­ference year, which includes everything paid on Centenary up to June 18, 1926, excepting the payments made by Sunday schools and Epworth Leagues which have been carried as a separate item by the Centenary Commission, which, if added to the above sum would give approximately $600,000.00 Cen­tenary money raised by the Florida Conference, on a quota of $632,000.00.

The General Conference of 1926, discontinued the Centenary Commi~sion and placed all Centenary affairs in the hands of Dr. W. G. Cram, Missionary Secretary.

Dr. Ira S. Patterson has been authorized to continue Centenary Repre­sentative in Florida Conference, receiving. funds with the understanding that only the expense involved will be chargeable to the Centenary. This au­thority was given by Dr. Cram as of date April 22, 1926.

In view of the fact that there are many unsettled Centenary claims, a number of which were and are in process of settlement, Dr. Patterson has continued the district Centenary representatives until further notice. These will make settlements with individuals and churches in the districts where Dr. Patterson cannot personally attend to the matter, subject, of course, to his approval.

We would urge all our Churches to make final setttlement of their Cen­tenary accounts as speedily as possible. Where there is any doubt about the matter, it should be taken \lP with Dr. Patterson directly.

1vlission Maintenance and Florida Special

Two of our districts, namely: Miami and Orlando, paid largely on "World Advance" just before the Annual Conference of 1925. The fiscal year of the General Board of Missions is from May to May. The fiscal year of the Con­ference Board was from December to December. This year it has been from December to June 16th. Naturally since the "World Advance" and "Mission Maintenance" were for the same purpose, the question arose, whether these amounts were to be credited on the year 1926. They should be reported as paid on the fiscal year of the General Board for 1925-1926, but the $30,000.00 to be raised for the General Board and the $10,000.00 to be raised for "Con­ference Mission Special" totaling $40,000.00 come under the head of "Mission Maintenance" only and should belong to the Annual Conference Board year of 1926 only.

On the "Mission Maintenance" and "Florida Special" the following quotas were assumed by the districts and payments on them have been made as follows:

Add to this for the General Board $13,645.41 paid on "World Advance" just before and at the 1925 Annual Conference and we have a Grand Total paid the General Board for their fiscal year of $39,061.25 to which should be added the $8,471.94 "Florida Specials." Making a Grand Total of $47,533.19. Add to this the amount raised this year on the Centenary pledges, $21,264.00 and we have a total for Missionary Specials during the Conference year 1926, of $68,-798.00, not including any amount paid on regular assessments or raised by Sunday schools, Epworth Leagues and Missionary Societies.

Administrative Matters

During the quadrennium, the Board has maintained an average of more than 70 Conference missions making appropriations sufficient to meet the expense of the Pastors serving them. We have also carried on extension work, that is, we have acquired or assisted local churches and district boards to acquire property and begin new work in a large number of places. In a number of these cases, we have also assisted in the erection of a temporar.r place of worship. This work has been so vital to our Missionary operations in Florida that to discontinue it or to curtail it would be disastrous, if not fatal. There is immediate demand in scores of places for a considerable outlay at once in order that we may enter fields which, if not entered speedily, will be entirely lost to us.

It requires mo_re than $4,000.00 a month to meet our pay-roll and thi! sum will have to be con~iderably increased during the Conference years 1926-27, if we are to meet our opportunities and our obligations in Florida.

JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA CO:\FERE~CE 45

The ending of the Centenary will, of course, bring to an end the 10% which we annually receive from that source. During the four years just ending, we have not only had the 10% from the Centenary but each year the Con­ference has granted us the privilege of raising a Special to supplement the receipts from the regular assessments and from the Centenary.

In view of the above fact, we recommend: 1. That in addition to the regular assessment, the Board be authorized

to add to the General Conference "Missionary Maintenance Special" a sum equal to the General Conference ''Missionary Maintenance Special" to be raised at the same time and in the same manner each year; so that annually one-half of the "Missionary Maintenance Special" will be paid into the Treas­ury of the Conference Board to be used exclusively for extension work in the Florida Conference.

2. That churches, Sunday schools, Missionary Societies, Epworth Leagues, Wesley Brotherhoods, and individuals be authorized to undertake the special support of any missionary or missionary work under the direction of your Conference Board on the same basis that General Conference Specials are undertaken.

3. That in order that a full statement of all moneys raised in our Con­ference for missionary purposes may be set out in the minutes of our Con­ference, district boards, Sunday schools, Epworth Leagues, Missionary So­cieties, Wesley Brotherhoods and all individual contributions, be reported to the annual Conference Board of Missions to be inserted in the minutes in the Grand Total raised for Missionary purposes.

4. That Dr. Ira S. Patterson be appointed Treasurer of the ''Missionary Maintenance" fund and of all Specials as provided for in recommendation 2.

&. That no local or district financial enterprise may be coupled with the "Missionary Maintenance" campaign.

\Ve desire to recognize and to have the Conference recognize the unex­celled efficiency of our Conference Missionary Secretary, Dr. Ira S. Pat­terson. No Conference in the connection has been more efficiently or more abundantly served by its Conference Missionary Secretary than has the Florida Annual Conference. We recommend that the Bishop applnnt as Conference Missionary Secretary for the ensuing year, Dr. Ira S. Patterson.

W. F. DuNKLE, Chairman. C. E. GUTTERIDGE, Secretary.

Sunday School Board-Report of the Sunday School Board was read by Rev. G. F. Scott. The report was adopted. It is as follows:

Your Sunday School Board begs leave to submit the following report: In reviewing the work of the quadrennium, your board is very much grati­

fied at the progress made. We note, first, a large increase in attendance in our Sunday schools, a phenominal increase in the liberality of our people as expressed in their offerings. In per capita offerings for all Sunday school causes, our Conference leads by far any other Conference in the Church.

Second. The growing spirit of co-operation and good-will of presiding elders, pastors, Sunday school workers and other friends who are interested in the development of Christian character.

Third. The development of a large force of volunteer district and sub­district workers who are giving largely of their time and efforts in assisting the Board in extending its work to reach every school in Conference.

Fourth. The work of leadership training has heen a most vital influence

Page 48: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

46 JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA CONFERENCE

in the development of the work. Thirty standard schools have been conducted and many trained classes. Through all agencies, nearly four thousand standard credits have been issued and a very large part of the ~unday school constituency has been reached that have not done credit work.

Fifth: In all endeavors of the Board as workers great emphasis has been placed upon the evangelistic opportunity of the Sunday school and the im­portance of bringing our people into a vital consciousness of God through worship.

We recommend for your endorsement the actions of the Sunday school Board, as follows:

First. The election of F. M. Williamson as Conference Superintendent of Sunday school work and Miss Hester Douglas as Asst. Conference Super­intendent with special charge of elementary work.

The election of Rev. G. W. Hutchinson as Extension Secretary and recom­mend that Bro. Hutchinson, who is a member of the Conference, be appointed to this position by our Presiding Bishop.

Second. The endorsement of the plans of our General Sunday school Board for the promotion of week-day religious instruction. We urge the co­operation of our people in the promotion of this phase of our work wherever practicable.

Third. The development of a large force of volunteer district and sub­the Wesley classes through the Conference Federation and other Agencies. The co-operation of all Sunday school workers is solicited making the Fed­erations a success this Fall. The deepest appreciation of the Board is eX· pressed to Mr. James A. Bunch, President of the Federation for the large amount of his own time and money that he has so freely expended this year in assisting the Board in this work.

Fourth. In the efforts of the Board to place our literature in all the schools of the Conference and the use of only such song books as are ap­proved.

Fifth. The Board commends the work of the Conference Superintendent in editing the Sunday school page in the Advocate and we request that a united'effort be made to give the Advocate a wider circulation and a wider reading.

Sixth. \Ve especially call your attention to the Conference Summer school at Southern College, Aug. 30 to Sept. 10, and earnestly urge all the Pastors, Sunday school and church workers to attend.

of Territory, auxiliary to the General Conference Committee be appointed by the Florida Annual Conference to meet a like Committee from the St. John's River Conference;

Resolved, (2). That the Committee consist of the Bishop presiding over the Florida Conference, three traveling preachers and three laymen; -

Lay Activities~ The report on lay activities was read by Douglas Bailey, which was adopted, involving the election of the Conference lay leader and three associates, named in the report which Is as follows:

ciates, viz: T. T. Turnbull, for the north end of the State; Judge Geo. Tedder for the East Coast and Douglas Bailey for the West Coast.

As a number of Wesley Brotherhoods have already been organized in the various districts with even a larger number contemplated, we suggest that the Presiding Elders and Pastors co-operate with the district and charge lay leaders in promoting Wesley Brotherhoods in every church in the Conference.

We suggest, also, that the Presiding Elders and Pastors include in their reports work done by the lay organizations and Wesley Brotherhoods the same as other branches of church activity.

BOARD OF TRUSTEES, FLORIDA CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE

We, your Board of Trustees offer 'the following recommendations: 1. We heartily commend the faithful service of Rev. I. C. Jenkins aa

Editor of the Florida Section of the Florida Conference Edition of the Christian Advocate and we recommend his reappointment as Editor in con­nection with his work as pastor.

2. That we continue our present contract with Lamar & Barton for con­tinuance of the Florida Conference Edition of the Christian Advocate.

3. That we make the assessment for the Advocate $6,000.00, with which to underwrite the expenses connected therewith.

4. If the assessment for which we have asked is granted we propose to offer Scholarships in Southern College in a subscription contest as follows: $450.00 to the District securing the highest list of subscriptions; $225.00 to the district securing the second largest list; $150.00 to each of the three districts having the next three largest lists, and $100.00 to each of the other districts, provided in every case the total number of subscribers in each district has reached a quota equal to one subscriber for every ten members of the church in the district, using as a basis the reports to the Annual Conference for 1926 as recorded in the minutes of said year.

5. The price of the Advocate is $2.50 and all who take subscriptions are urged to collect said amount for it. A commission of 50 cents is offered to

JOURKAL OF THE FLORID,'\ COKFERENCE 53

those who secure subscriptions. With this arrangement in connection with Scholarships offered will make it possible for a number of our ambitious young people to attend Southern College. Every pastor and presiding Elder is urged to organize throughout the Conference and secure these Scholar­ships.

Respectfully submitted, A. C. McCALL, Chairman, HOLMES LOGAN, Secretary.

Rev. A. F. Turner presented a handsome bouquet of flowers to Miss Marie Kaigler, who had served five years in the capacity of secretary to the Secretary of Christian Education movement, as an expression of appreciation on the part of certain members of the Conference for her fidelity.

· Announcements-Adjournment with benediction by S. W. Walker.

FIFTH SESSION-SATURDAY AFTERNOON

Pursuant to motion, the Conference convened Saturday afternoon at 3:30. I. S. Patterson in chair, by the appointment of the Bishop. The opening hymn was 393. E. J. Gates led in prayer.

Minutes Approved-Minutes of the morning session were read and approved.

Hospital Report-S. D. Harris read the revised report of the Hospital Board, whic4 was adopted as follows:

The following churches have taken enrollments on the Golden Cross Society: Lakeland First Church ---------······--·······--·············-····························-·····-····-··$ 40.00 Jacksonville First Church ····-············--·--·--··--·················--··--······-·--------------·- 308.00 Stuart ·······--·········--··············--·--···········--··---······················--·-··--··-··--··-··---·--·-····· 30.00 Branford .......................................................................................................... 5.00

If other churches had done equally as well, the results would have been gratifying. The last General Conference made it the duty of the Bishop in charge to inquire into the work of the Golden Cross in the annual Con­ference; made it the duty of the Presiding Elder to inquire into the work of the Golden Cross in the District Conference and at the Third Quarterly Conference; and made it the duty of the Pastor to call for reports from the Golden Cross at the Church Conference. The Pastor must appoint a Golden Cross Director and the Presiding Elder must see that this has been done by the Second Quarterly Conference. The Pastor and the Golden Cross Di­rector must select and organize a Goldeh Cross Committee which shall di­rect the Golden Cross enrollment. .

We call attention to the fact that the week including the second and third -Sundays in May has been made Enrollment Week for the entire Church, but we recommend that in our Conference enrollment week shall include the two Sundays following Thanksgiving Day.

Fifth. From Hollywood, offering a six-acre site and $300,000.00. Sixth. There were good prospects in other cities, but no mention here of

them, as no definite propositions were presented to your Board. In order that these offers may be carefully analyzed, sites inspected and

that due consideration be given, we recommend that you pass the following resolutions:

First. That the newly elected Hospital Commission be authorized to re­ceive these and other offers; and to decide what, if any, action shall be taken . This commission is hereby empowered to do any and all things necessary for carrying out the intentions of this resolution, including the acceptance of deeds of property contracting and being contracted with and doing any and all things necessary for the location and building of the Florida Conference Methodist Hospital, provided: That before any location is finally decided upon, or accepted, the Commission shall notify the Bishop that they are ready to act and on receipt of that notice from the Secretary of this Com­mission, the Bishop shall call together at some convenient time and place, the chairman of all Conference Boards and the Presiding Elder of the Con­ference. And this body, together with the Commission, is hereby given full and final authority in the location and building of the Hospital as contem­plated by this resolution.

Second. That the Hospital Commission is hereby authorized to employ an Executive Secretary to carry out its decisions and to raise a sum of $200,000.00, more or less, for the Hospital enterprise.

Third. That the Commission on Budget is hereby requested to include in the Conference assessments the sum of $7,500.00 to cover the expenses of the Commission; the incidental expenses of the Conference Hospital Board (not to exceed $150.00); and the salary and expenses of the Executive Sec­retary.

Fourth. That the Hospital Commission shall meet as early as possible for organization and shall set the earliest reasonable date for hearing tha Representatives of the various Committees.

Report of General Secretary

Dr. C. C. Jarrell, General Secretary, was ·before the Board and made his report which was very gratifying. The Board as a whole appreciates the co-operation of Dr. Jarrell in this great and glorious work. He is doing a wonderful work throughout the connections.· His fellowship and brotherly advice has been a great help to us,

J. D. SIBERT, President. L. E. WRIGHT, Secretary.

Temperance and Social Service-Report number two, Board of Temperance and Social Service, was read by C. W. Crook. W. A .

Page 57: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

JOUR::\AL OF THE FLORIDA CO~FERE~CE 55

Myres, W. J. Carpenter, and F. L. Crowson spoke to this report. The report was adopted, as follows:

Section 1-Social Service-We urge again the importance of the social creed of our church. We call attention to Paragraph 533, page 251, of our book of discipline.

We are glad to note the growing interest in social service in our church as evidenced by the Junaluska Conference, by the Social Service work of the Women's Missionary Society, Epworth Leagues, Sunday Schools and Wesley Brother hoods.

We favor the outlawing of war. War is now the legal and organized meth· od of settling differences between nations and has its rules and code. We wish to substitute for the code of war some code of law. We care not by what name this law may be called. Blessing upon any one who can help to staunch this open and bleeding world wound of war. The progress in this direction constitutes the greatest a~anced movements of the year.

Despite a nation-wide crusade the crime wave continues unabated. In many cases criminals and officials have been found to work in harmony. Thinking men are becoming more and more .alarmed for the safety of our ideals and institutions. The enemies of temperance continue to charge the crime wave to the eighteenth amendment. However among the fourteen causes of crime listed by the experts, prohibition is not named. In our opinion the causes are not far to seek. A corrupt comic section reach the eye of the youth in characture of home and parents. The moving picture takes up the lesson of elicit love, bold bandits, bad men and women, wine and wealth without labor or sacrifice. Everywhere the home and the church is subjected to ridicule and God is but a word to use in profanity. The Sabbath is nowhere regarded save as a day of play. We cannot continue to disregard these things without destroying the foundation of our nation. Here is the next great conflict to which the church is called.

Race Track Gambling-In spite of our utmost effort race tracks for dogs and horses have continued to do business in our state to our great disgrace and financial hurt. The matter has just been brought to the Supreme Court of Florida and rest there for final decision. Should the Court uphold the law race track gambling is forever dead in Florida. Should the law be set aside our disgrace will be complete and no one can foresee the end of the evil. Knowing the dignity of the Supreme Court and the character of its judge3 we can rest the case with them. Till the decision comes, let all of our people watch and pray.

Temperance

SECTION II

WHEREAS, The most adroit movement has been launched by those opposed to prohibition, headed by Senators Edge, Edwards, Reed and Congressman Hill and others, and ·

WHEREAS, The enemy has made a full statement of their program which includes legalizing wines and beer and repealing the eighteenth amendment, and

WHEREAS, The enemy is attempting to deceive the people by the oftimes repeated and ever recurring statement that they have no desire nor design for the return of the saloon, and

WHEREAS, State referendums on national prohibition are ·being called in New York, Ma;yland, Illinois and other states and while these referenduma

Page 58: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

have no legal status, it behooves us to remember that they are effective vehicles for wet propaganda and tend to unsettle those prohibitionists who are weak in the faith, and

WHEREAS, These manifestly dangerous conditions threaten the strong­holds of our defense of constitutional prohibition, Therefore be it

Resolved: That we should fully recognize and squarely face the fact­that if wines and beer are legalized and the eighteenth amendment repealed saloons would return in greater numbers than before, and that the wreckage of the great destroyer would be incalculably greater, because of the greater population and greater prosperity of our country, and that, with the in­creased thousands of drunken drivers, automobiles and trucks upon the busy streets of our cities and the crowded highways of our nation would become veritable engines of destruction and carnage equal to, or greater, than war,

Second. That a campaign of Christian Temperance education fully ade­quate to the emergency should at once be launched.

Third. That our church shoula continue to ring out the clear message of Temperance and sobriety, through the pulpit, the Sunday schools, Ep­worth Leagues and Social Service committees.

Fourth. That we commend the earnest efforts of the Anti-Saloon League and the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and call upon them to re­double their diligence and effectiveness in spreading prohibition propaganda unerringly and incessantly in every corner and in every center of this state; to encourage law observance by the people and law enforcement by the offi­cers, and to guard the doors of Congress and the State Legislature against any one who would destroy our constitution, or the amendments thereto, especially the eighteenth amendment.

Fifth. That we hereby memorialize the editors of our graded Sunday school lessons to continue the quarterly temperance lesson so that our children will be taught the truth concerning the evils of alcoholic liquors and the fearful destructiveness of drink.

W. A. MYRES, Chairman, E. WATT SMITH, Secretary.

The Conference Relations-The Committee on Conference Re­lations presented its report through W. J. Palmer, which was adopted. See "Our Honor Roll."

Preachers Relief Fund-Report of the Preachers Relief Fund Trustees was read by A. M. Daiger. The report, filed for informa­tion, was as follows:

The Board regrets that on account of the briefness of the Conference :year, and the time of payment of interest on loans of our endowment fund falling due in December, we have had very little money at our disposal at this time. Also, the need of urgent repairs on our superannuate parsonages has absorbed about all the funds at hand. Therefore, we have been unable to comply with several requests for aid, that otherwise we would have been pleased to grant.

In compliance with the resolution adopted by this Conference in Session in December last, we are planning a Thanksgiving Day offering by every Church in the Florida Conference for the relief of the ''Forgotten Man."

Board of Missions-W. F. Dunkle read parts of reports two and three, Board of Missions, and that part which required adoption was adopted. The remainder was filed for information.

This Conference year of only six months has not been as fruitful in our evangelistic work as we had hoped. Some of our evangelists have been sick and other conditions have arisen by which the effectiveness of the work has -been hindered, but your Board is still of opinion that the appropriation to evangelistic work in the Conference is profitable and we are appropriating the sum of $4,000.00 to be used this Conference year.

JOCR:t\'AL OF THE FLORIDA CO.:\FERE:\CE 59

The committee on evangelism of the Board has required quarterly reports from the evangelists~ indorsed by the board and will tabulate the same for publication in the minutes of the Conference. These reports to be made to Dr. S. W. Walker, Chairman of the committee. We are hoping to make the committee of evangelism a clearing house for evangelist work in the Conference and we invite the preachers to consult with the committee and call on the committee for any sort of service that they can render in making our evangelism most effective. We desire to keep before the Conference the work of our evangelists in the Florida Advocate and we can only do this by reports which indicate what they are doing.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is effective in the salvation of souls and men called to this work ought to be men of clean hands and a stirred heart.

We recommend for appointment as Conference Evangelists, L. B. Simp­son, and F. L. Crowson without salary.

We endorse as evangelists, P. K. Rowell, H. L. Ezell, A. D. Buck, J. I. Whitworth, S. A .• \1:cCook, W. H. McLeod, J. B. Culpepper, Sr., F. P. Mc­Call, and John M. Watts.

We recommend for general evangelists, J. B. Culpepper, Sr., F. P. McCall, and W. H. McLeod.

Christian Literature-The report of the Board of Christian Literature was read by Thomas Williams, and was adopted.

We, the Board of Christian Literature in session feel, as a whole, that we should express our thanks to the Editor of the Florida Christian Advo~ cate for his discriminating editorials, stimulating news items, and inspiring departmental pages and in appreciation thereof we wish to urge all pastors and laymen having news items worth while to send them in promptly to him.

Page 63: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

JOURNAL OF THE FLORID.\ CO?\FERENCE 61

We request that in order to gi'!e more space for news items the Presiding Elders' rounds be published only twice each quarter.

We wish, also, to ask you to join with us in expressing our appreciation to Larnar & Barton for their generosity to us and for the attractive ar­rangement of the Florida Edition of the Advocate.

We wish to call attention to the authentic reports coming to us from other Conferences as to our successful solution of the Advocate problem in the combining of the Conference organ with our general organ.

We especially recommend that our preachers and Christian laymen speak out against the circulation of pernicious literature which is undermining the spiritual lives of many of our people, much of such literature published today being so vile that it is unfit for circulation through the mails,

And we wish further to urge the pastor and his committees on circulating Christian literature to be most diligent in trying to place the Advocate, Voice~ Era and Methodist Laymen in the homes of our people.

We. also wish to commend Lamar & Barton for their splendid showing in accrued profits from our Publishing Houses and bespeak the continued pat­ronage of our people.

THOS. WILLIAMS, Chairman, MRs. P. N. KING, Secretary.

Board of Finance-Dr. Cooper, Chairman of the Board of Finance, presented the report of the Board of Finance. The report was adopted as follows:

We, your Board, wish to report that we have again paid all claimants on the Board monthly in advance on the first of each month. The average paid the superannuates on the basis of a twelve months year was $540.00, and to the widows, $410.00. These are the largest amounts that have ever been paid by your board.

We are pleased to report that there have been no deaths among the claim­ants or any of the members of the Conference during the year. By reason of her marriage, Mrs. J. L. Moon is no longer a claimant on the Board. We extend to Mr. L. D. Child our heartiest congratulations and wish for them both a long, happy and useful life.

The usual check from the Publishing House has not come in, owing to the change in the date of the Conference. We are informed, however, that it will only be abou: 60 per cent. of last year's. We hope our preachers will buy and read more books the coming year.

Dr. Cooper, president of the board, has been quite active in the interests of the work during the past year. He attended several of the District Con­ferences and did valiant work for the Endowment Fund. We feel that his efforts materially aided in placing Florida Conference in the first place on the percentage of her quota raised during the first two years. Owing to a short year this year we are likely to lose this enviable position unless the brethren make a very great effort during the next year. We trust that all will endeavor to report 100% for four years at the next Conference.

Your board was signally honored by having its president selected as a member of the General Board of Finance.

Your Board received a check from the General Board of Finance for $2,297.36 from the superannuate Endowment Fund and-the J. P. Anderson Memorial fund held in trust for us by them. You will note that this is an increase of about $1,400.00 over last year. If the preachers will press the Superannuate Endowment Collections during the coming twelve months

we will secure more than $4,000.00 from this source at the next Conference, The Conference Treasurer's books were audited and found to be in excel­

lent shape. Respectfully submitted,

APPROPRIATIONS The Florida Conference Board of Finance announced the following

appropriations to the claimants for 1926-27. These will be paid in advance, monthly, on the first of each month.

1927 Session-It was ordered that a committee of five be appointed and empowered to arrange for the location of the next session of the Annual Conference. The Bishop announced the following committee: S. W. Walker, I. C. Jenkins, L. M. Spivey, E. B. Walthall and T. F. Alexander.

Methodist Foundation-The Secretary read the report of the Trustees of the Florida Methodist Foundation, which was adopted as follows:

The Board of Directors of the Florida Methodist Foundation makes the following report:

Conditions which have prevailed in the State since the last session of the Conference have been such that it has not been possible for this Board to make any decided progress towards securing the funds necessary for the building program at Tallahassee and Gainesville.

The need for these institutions becomes greater with each passing year, and if our church is to hold to her own young men and young women, the Methodists of Florida must be behind this movement and make it succeed.

The members of the Foundation extend to Dr. W. A .. Cooper their sincere thanks for the great interest he has shown in the work and the effort he has

Page 67: JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE - The ......-l·-----·1--r JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOU1'H HELD AT ST. PETERSBURG, FLA

JOURNAL OF THE FLORIDA CO~FERENCE 65

made to advance the work of our Church in State Institutions o£ Learning. We ask that the Conference re-elect the following, whose term of office

expires with the Conference: W. A. Myres, Nathan Mayo, W. B. Harbinson, T. T. Turnbull. We also recommend the appointment of Rev. A. B. Austin as Student

Pastor at the University of Florida. H. A. SPENCER, Pres. Pro Tem. J. B. GAME, Secretary.

Florida Conference Brotherhood-The report of the Florida Conference Brotherhood was presented by Rev. H. E. Partridge, and is as follows:

The Florida ConfE-rence Brotherhood is glad to state to the Conferencf>, for information, that this fine and most brotherly benevolence is in excellent condition. We have now a reserve fund of something over $2,000.00; a standard checking account for immediate use in paying promptly its bene-

. fits; and has fixed the amount of death benefit at $800.00. Our membership embraces a majority of the Conference, and over 200 laymen as associate or contributing members. During the last twelve years we have increased our benefit from $300.00 to $800.00. Had the numbers of the Brotherhood brought this needed benevolence to the attention of our people and enlisted them in it we might have secured at least $1,000.00 and increased the bene­fit to $1,000.00. We therefore urge that every preacher join us in an earnest effort to enlarge om· membership.

JOUR~AL OF THE FLORIDA COKFERENCE 67

Your Conference Board of Church Extension notes with gratification the great progress being made in building new churches and parsonages. It desires to give its encouragement and aid to all these prospects as far as possible. Last year the Board was able to grant all applications in full, but this year the askings are so much greater than its resources that it is impossible to do this. It is regretable that this Board has not a much larger donation and loan fund with which to aid their worthy applicants.

The Conference Lean Fund capital amounts to $13,032.00. The assessments for the General Board for 1926-'27 is $4,866.00. The as­

sessment for the Conference Board is $9,000.00; for the J. C. Ley Fund, $1,000.00.

Bible Board-The report of the Bible Board was read by R. A. Selby and was adopted as follows:

The Bible Board of the Florida Conference assembled at the First Metho­dist Church, St. Petersburg, submits the following report:

Knowing the Biole to be the inspired word of God and the same having­been given to the world as a guide to faith and practice, we heartily com­mend its reading to all men which may make them wise unto salvation.

We believe the circulation and reading of the Holy Scriptures should be increased and, therefore, commend the American Bible Society and any other Agencies that may be working for its distribution to the betterment of the

• whole human race. Considering the pre-eminent place that the Bible occupies in the minds

of those who read it, we as a Board, request all our Pastors to d6> all in their power to cause our people to spend more time in reading the same.

J. W. JACKSON, Chairman, R. A. SELBY, Secretary.

Epworth League Board-The report of the Epworth League Board was read by J. E. Hartsfield, and was adopted as follows:

The Conference ~lear, just past, gives evidence that the work of the Epworth League is contributing much to the power and progress of our great Church. Under the supervision of consecrated young leadership real progress has been made. Not only in the enlistment for definite Chris­tian service, but although there was a financial deficit on our records in the beginning of the quadrennium, now we note a surplus.

Not only is the Epworth League meeting its financial obligations, but we note with gratitude that additional missionary achievements may com­mand prayerful considera~ion.

However, in spite of the fact that the financial needs of·the day are press­ing upon us, and our young people being able to meet these need's, it is the desire of your Board that spiritual fire will continue to burn upon the altars of our Church. Through all evangelical agencies at command we encourage the proper expression of faith in Christ from the hearts of the young life.

According to the reports of the annual Conference of 1925, there were 308 chapters with a membership of 9,623. This Conference reports 298 with a membership of 9,214. This represents a remarkable increase for the quad­rennium.

We solicit the co-operation of the pastors in every charge in giving their influence to the advance march of this great army having become great because of full com;ecration to important tasks, splendid vision of the needs of their Master's kingdom, and the mighty achievements blessed of the Lord.

We wish to call the attention of this Conference to the Epworth League Assembly in Bradenton, July 5-9. Plans have been made to make this an outstanding session.

We, your Board, grateful_ly ask for an assessment of $2,000 for the com­ing year.

Respectfully submitted, W. J. CARPENTER, Chairman, J. E. HARTSFIELD, Sec1·etary.

Fraternal Relations-Pursuant to action taken earlier in the session asking for a committee on Fraternal Relations and Exchange of Territory to treat with a similar committee from the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Bishop appointed the following committee: L. P. McCord, S. D. Harris, C. K. Vliet, Ira S. Patterson, W. A. Cooper and R. Ira Barnett.

Questions twenty-two and twenty-three were called, and answered by the report of the Committee on Conference relations which has already been recorded.

Sabbath Observance-L. B. Overstreet read the report of the Committee on Sabbath Observance, which was adopted as follows:

WHEREAS, one of the leading causes of· the lack of Godliness among the people of the world, and of the lack of spirituality among the members of the church, is a laxity in observance of the Christian Sabbath; and,

WHEREAS, the rules of our church prohibit the profaning of the day of the Lord, either by doing ordinary work therein, or by buying or selling; therefore, be it, ·

Resolved, by the Florida Annual Conference now in session at St. Peters­burg that, as leaders in the church, the members of this Conference should help correct this evil:

First. By abstaining from those forms of Sabbath profanation which are commonly indulged in by professing Christians, such as the buying and selling of gasoline, oils, and automobile accessories when such buying and selling is not absolutely necessary; the buying or selling of cigars, tobaccos, cool drinks, candies, and the Sunday newspapers.

Second. By showing to the whole membership of the church the evils arising from the profanation of the Sabbath, and enlisting the whole mem­bership of the church in a crusade against it.

Third. By working in conjunction with the membership of other evangeli­cal churches in a campaign to enforce the present laws of the State of Florida, which law3, if enforced, would protect the Christian Sabbath from undue profanation.

L. B. OVERSTREET, Chairman. W. R. HOWELL.

The Conference was called to order at nine o'clock, Dr. W. J. Carpenter in the chair by appointment of the Bishop. Hymn 354 was sung and H. E. Partridge led in prayer. Psalm 34 was read responsively. Hymn 334 was then sung.

WHAT SHALL BE 'fHE FUTURE OF FLORIDA?

THE leading question now before the Church in Florida is this: Shall spiritual values keep step with material

progress, or shall the future Florida be materialistic and Godless? The answer depends upon the kind of education we provide for the rising generation.

Do you know that every State in the South far surpasses Florida in the number of colleges in proportion to popu­lation?

Do you know that while our population has doubled, our facilities for higher education have remained practi­cally static?

Do you know that all the colleges in Florida could accommodate only about ten per cent of the high school graduates each year?

Southern College this year is asking two million dol­lars from the Methodists of Florida to provide adequate facilities. More than half of it has been raised from a small patt of the State. On the success of this two mil­lion-dollar movement depends the future of our Church and of Florida in large measure.

You will want a share in this large enterprise.
