I v.x! y SALISBURY, NX., THURSDAY, 7T CH a-1893. 4 NUMBER 9 - THE SOUTH FLORIDA CON FERENCE PROCEEDINGS. REPORTED BY J. D. BALLARD. |: • ' — The South Florida Conference of the ▲ ME Zion ohuroh met in its third ses sion in the Zion ohuroh in Gainesville, with Bishop T H Lomax presiding. The hour having arrived, the bishop informed the audienoe that we were here in an nual conference session in oonoordanoe to a vote of the last oonferenoe convened in Kissimmee,*Fla, The oonferenoe was then opened by the bishop reading and expounding from the third chapter of Matt, and First Epistle of John. After prayer and singing whioh made the times bright and refreshing; a full board of offioers were elected: The roll was called, more than a quorum an swered to their names. Dr A S Jerry was introduced and by privilege of the bishop, he made some brilliant and favorable remarks respect ing the Negroes of America. He was replied toby J D Ballard. The annual sermon was delivered by G W Mazie, of Tampa, Theme: "The World a Conquered! Foe.” We need not say the elder did well. Thursday.—The conference was open ed by the bishop reading the 61st chapter of Isa., and 15th ohaper Isa. After prayer and singing, Rev D J Young, fraternal delegate from East Tennessee oonferenoe, was introduced and licensed to speak; and with well chosen words and sentiment, he filled the "oonferenoe with glee. Rev J Sexton re plied'ln cool and deliberate terms. Ministers of the H I and C M E oburohes were introduced and spoke words of encouragement- They They were replied toinoalm eloquence by Bros F C Burrows, W C Testa and D J Young. A chant lead by Rev Young, and benediction by Rev Burrows oonduded the second day's session. Rev J R Harris, the speaker of the evening, selected 48th Psalm, 2nd verse aid 2nd clause. The elder dwelt on the term "Zion,” he stayed olose to his text and with telling remarks he did credit to k mself and ohuroh. Elder Maize oalled j >iners and mourners; no joiners came, but msny anxious seekers did. Tin Ladies Working Association pre sented the conference $59.64. Singing by the audience and benediction by Rev Harris. The third dij’* aeihlon was opened by the bishop reading 30th Psalm and 83rd chapter St Luke. The following are some of his remarks: God oreated us for a great and grand purpose, henoe we should be honest in all our dealings with mankind, and strive to get the unity of the Spirit, as no man oan succeed without the Spirit of God. Some men go to buildcburohes without the Spirit of God, hence a fail ure. No claim is stronger than its weak est link. So also is the charaoter of men; his most besetting sin in his weak est link, and where there is no princi ple, there cru be no religion. Again re ligion is more than a spirit and a feel ing i It should be both spiritual and profitable. _ The roll wa« oailed and a quorum beinz present the conference proceeded te business. Eev Peter Swearinger, pastor of the M E Church, and Mr EI Alexander, a custom house officer, made some rery able and eloquent remarks the A M E Zion and A M E churches, whioh decided for him sohorarship and ability, Elders Burrows and Sexton replied in eloquent terms respecting the ministry. On motion, of Rev © J Young a board of was tendered Mr. Alexander. Rev Maize spoke respecting the con tinuance of the Presiding Elder Sexton in his office—his strong and favored re marks respecting Elder Sexton; called Revs J H Anderson and B Roberto on the floor, and in tranquil torsos, too, spoke favorable of the Elder, And in reply to them Elder Sexton made a lively speech respecting Zion In Florida: of its post and present stages. -When the brethren oeased speaking, the bishop arose and in master eloquence and with words flowing as a whirl-wind he made some to wither and pine away. The passage of characters continued till each one had gone through the ordeal. The committee on credentials next oail ed the attention of the conference and reported fifteen valiant men who wished t) join the oonfereoos. The Bishop pro pounded to them some very profound questions respecting their present and past lives sad their reason for wishing to join the conference. He then allowed the Presiding Elder to question them and alter suitable answer* they were allowed to enter. > ■ - ff " Dr. J. A. Parker and Revs. 0. H. Ufl as *ftd T, J. Haynes, ge speaker of the evening. Benediction b Rev. Strong. In time Rev. Young appeared befoi hie andlenoe and selected Heb. U : 3 fc his text Theme, “The gift of God t man, and its happy results.” The elder delineations might be compared to a hit torio lens oonneoting the past and pret ent ages. It is happy and amusing t sit under the divine drippings of one a young, yet so pointed and precise ii speeeh. The earnest appeals, frangh with eloquence and sublimity, was std floient to defeat the most karned strata gems of tin. Benediction by Elde Young. Saturday.—The fourth day's sessioi was opened by the Bishop who conduct ed the devotional exercises. Rev. J. B Williams was introduced and in his re marks he made us glad respecting tan union of the A. M. E. Z. and ▲. M. E churehoa. By motion4of Rev. Strong t vote of thanks was tendered him. Thi reports whioir followed showed a vast improvement upon last year's report Several reported new ohurohes. J. W. Cooper, steward and fra tern a delegate, from Alabama conference and J W Dukes, P E, of the A M E, churcl were Introduced. W C Testa, the annu al conference steward reported $261.25, Rev. Cooper read a thrilling and glowing report from Alabama, whioh showed h*m to be a careful student of sacred and pro fane history; the report did great credit to him and church. He was replied to by Elders Sexton and If size, in terse and fervent remarks. S L McDonnell of Jacksonville, was in. troduoed. The devotional committee in formed us that A L Higgs, of Key West, associated by W J Sanders, would be the speakers of the evening. Singing by the an,lienee and benediction by Rev 9tuiks dosed the fourth day's session. In time Rev Higgs appeared before his audience and selected Ifehemiahvi:3, his inbjeor, theme, “The wail of spiritual redemption bnUt by Christ was typed |in the person of Nehemiah.” The young divine made us all look forward to the time when he will be a workman who need not be ashamed, singing and bene diction by Rev Higgs closed the 4th, days' session. Dunuays session:—m oonooraanoe with appointment of the devotional oom mittee T H Darby, one of the old pio neers of the Florida conference, made his appearance at 11 a m, before hia an-* dienoe and selected for his subject 2nd Corrinthian v:l. We need not speak of the Elder’s pnlpit ability as it has been long decided that be Is a workman who need not be ashamed, and one of whom we need not be ashamed. The well ma tured, and venerable veteran produced stratagems whioh proved him to be a general of no small ability. His words were demonstrated with so muoh power that our hearts was made to leap with the fullness of joy. After services a young Elder went to him and ask what Elisha did to Elijah, “when you are tak* sn away let a double portion of thy spir it be upon me,” “I will if you see me when I go,” said the old veteran. Now whether the young man will be able to ory, “My Father, My Father, the chariot of Israel”, when father Darly be taken away, as Elisha did, when hia Christian father Elijah was taken away, we do not know. Benediction by Bev. Darly. Sunday afternoon 3 p m:—Bishop T H Lomax, appeared before a thronged house, and seleoted for hia text Bevela Uon xv :2. “And 1 saw a* it worn a sea of glass mingled with fire, and them that had gotten the victory over his image, and over hia mark, and over the number of hia name, stand on the sea of glass having the harps of God,” Theme, “The redeemed having the victory over the world and the glorious results to fol low.” With mascer eloquence, prophetic zeal and wisdom the bishop moved his grand audienoe before him as in a whirl wind. The height and depth of his scriptural reasoning Is certainly baffling to many a mind. It must have been an aot of Providence, that he is bishop; words are too weak, and their meaning too short, to express or explain the manner in whioh he delivered to us, the God sent message. For one hour he swayed hia audienoe right and left, whille bis pa thos excited the swelling throng to loud Hoeana’s, and with strains of sweot tea sonanoe, and joyous Admonition, happy souls echoed lond amens. Long will this noble and master sermon live in the hearts of those who heard it. Sunday night—Bev W G Strong, the last speaker for the day appeared and se ---»*+-+ y lug part of the 83d ohapter of Exodus, and the 4th ohapter of 2d Timothy. Af e tor singing and prayers, the roll was r oalled and a quorum Ming present the ® conference proceeded to business. Mr i li M Lewey, editor of the Sentinel, and >- Rev C H Thompson of the Baptist chnroh - were introduced. The gentlemen treat > ed ns to kind words of encouragement > respecting the A M E Zion, shd A M E, i churches. They were replied to by El t ders Young and Sexton, and the bishop • in very able terms. On motion of Bev Sexton, the confer* r enoe voted that the next annual oonfer | enoe should meet in Tampa, Fla., on the i second. Wednesday in February 1804. • Mrs Elder Susan Harris made a speech, , that oaused some of the brethren to re . new their pledges. ) Rev D J Young, delegate from East , Tennessee conference, read a glowing re , port which spoke very highly of himself » and conference. ReV S L McDonnell re ; plied in oool and gentle terms respecting the Florida conference. The total cen ferenoe collection was $141.81. ; # The devotional committee informed the conference that Rev J W Cooper would preaeh at 7:30 p m. In time be appeared before a crowded house and delivered a great and lasting sermon, in dear and stentorian tones. The Elder is without doubt entitled to the new name “Boanerges”; for he is oertainly a “Son of Thunder”. The reading of ap pointments, singing by the audience and benediction bv Rev Cooper [concluded the third session of the South Florida conference.

There was an eloquent sermon deliver ed to the congregation on last Sunday by Bev. S. T. Moore; his subjeet was, “The Christian Soldier.'* It was an interest ing sermon.

Grand results have attended the reviv all throughout the eity and in our sister city of Brooklyn. Many additions have Deen made to the “army of the Lord” in all the ohurches, and the ranks of the enemy have suffered rout. Rev. J B. Saunders of Newark, N. J . preaohed an excellent sermon Sunday morning 10<h nit-, at Zion from a part of the 15th verse of the 14th chapter of Exodus:—“Go forward”. He showed that the duty of the child of God was to plaoe implicit oonfidenoe in Him and go forward in the path whioh his Lord has marked out for bin. At the dose of the services a collection was raised te assist Rev. Saunders’ church in meeting a payment. At 7:80 p. m., the pastor, Rev. J. S.

At this rrrlting he has re'-overed his senses, but is physically very weak. Truly may it pa said of brother a Washington, he fell in the harness. Madam Slsslretta Jones, 'who has been ityled the “Biaok Patti,” sang at the residence of Judge Andrews, Fifth Ave nue, last week, and was the recipient of a cheque for $1,000 from the Chief Jus tice of India, who was present.

Departed this life at the A. M. B. Zion thuroh parsonage, Saturday morning february 11th, Thaideus Stevens Haw riMt oldest son of the Rev. M. P. Haw* tins. The deoeased was about 19 years if age and a member of the Junior olass >f the Elisabeth City, State Normal fchooh He was * dalioate frame, his to give him a thorough sduoatlonal training at Livingstone ool age, to enter whloh the son made every iffort to qualify himself^As a son rhaddeus was obedient in the strictest tense, and, as a sta A a model His recitations and examinations were st rays *<exoaUaBt.” one his early death has CULTURE. Of the many things and conditions that arq powerful in matin? a people what they should be, nothing is more far reaching and necessary than culture. Of course, we mean culture in in its broadest sense, and most certainly em bracing all that enters into the make-up of the truly rounded man or woman. Qenco, it is not restricted to efficiency in any one thing And since it is now, to a greater or less degree, in the reach of most individuals, n’o one should be abso lutely void of it. In its universality, it inoludes extensive and unquestionable home-training whloh is made manifest in conscientious performances of duty, of man to man, in whatever condition, or vocation of life. Ani also in strict alle giance and reverence to, and for God, morality, religion and all things pertain ing there-to. If this is, in any oaae, negleotcd, every young person, at one time, or another nas ample time to bridge the chasm. Seoond comes intellectual development in all its forms. To be profioient in all those things that make the scholar, the pbylospher, the optimist »nd the scien tist, in the highest degree, is not the hap: py and express privilege of every one tis true; but the advantages now offered, to gether «ith the spirit of the age, lay a certain amount of this great lever-poirer at the feet of every one who wills to possess it. To be an intelligent speaker and wri ter; %n easy, pleasing and instructive, if not brilliant and charming conversation alist, a man or woman cf desirable and commendable manners, possessing suffi cient knowledge to rightly perform the numerous and arduous tasks, necessary to the life and improvement of a people, is to be, simply and In toto, a cultured minor woman whose suooeas and useful^ ness in life is more or less absolutely sore. This much every one chn have, , and this much, every generation with whom rests the hope of any people or nation, must have, if they would du any thing for themselves or their fellows. The man or woman thus equipped at tracts influences and benefits. It truly makes life more worth living. Without it, many lives that are filled with feign lugs, pretensions and attempted Imita tions are miserably and worthlessly eked ont and flitted away. The cultured teacher is an angle in the profession, beside the stiff and crude text-book’s man or woman, who knows anght but Mathematics and Grammar. In the school-room he or she wins, rules and instructs the child by wisdom and force of oharaoter, and brute force is al most if not entirely unknown. In the community they are a veritable power for good because they are prepared to in fluence and hold, and ennoble by in struction, whloh every one must be able to do, who would have his or her teach, ings practiced and their efforts be suc cessful. In the pulpit, the cultured preacher Is a Moses, as compared with the one-idead smattered and indolent incumbent, who has manifold ohasoes to be otherwise, but who is satisfied to continually squall “Christ died, and Peter preaohed, and suoh and such a thing was fore-ordain ed.” The former influence^his follow ers, touches their hearts arouses and en thuses and instructs them, and thereby gently leads them on to God. Hence, among the many fortunes of an Individ ual or a people which excite to muoh ac tivity, sacrafioe and perseverance. Hone are more produoive of usefulness and happiness than culture.
