FIRST METHODIST CON-. FERENCE IN AMERICA Held at Green Hill House ? Bishop Denny Delivers Sermon Sunday ? Barbe cue Dinner Saturday Pic nic Dinner Sunday ? Large Number in Attendance ? Other Speakers On Saturday, May 18, the old Green Hill home which is located about a mile south of Louisburg, and is now owned by Re^. E. H. Davis was the center of a very interesting celebration, a celebra tion commemorating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the first annual conference of American Methodism ever held. That conference was held in the long spacious attic room which ran tfie entire width of-the house but which has now been remodel ed and divided to forfa more rooms. The house was open to visitors who were tendered the privilege of seeing part of tjie old conference room upstairs and odd heirlooms dating practically back to the conference Another interesting spot was the old family burial ground, close to the house which practical ly all the guests visited before the program for the occasion began. Dr. G. T. Rowe,? Professor at Duke University was the main speaker, who in a very humorous and interesting way developed a rather serious thought namely that "Folks not interested in the past will do nothing for the fu ture." A part of Dr. Rowe's talk consisted more or less of exerpts from an address delivered by the Rev. Davis at a Methodist Con ference in 1928 and recorded in the Methodist Quarterly Review, which dealt with the life and work of the two great preachers who i in time past owned this old estate | and had a big part in that first I conference and in the spread of Methodism in general. The speak er particularly pointed out the fact that those early pioneer preachers died young because of the privation which they suffered in their determination to spread the Gospel. Dr. Rowe ended with this statement, "Those men labor ed, other men labored, and we have entered into their labors." Dr. J. M. Ormond, of Duke Uni versity, a descendant of one of these pioneer preachers who at tended conferences at the Old Green Hill home, spoke to the guests, giving some interesting quotations from William Ormond's diary. William Ormond began his ministry in 1791 and attended two conferences at this place in the year of 1793. The first con ference held here, the one being commemorated was held in 1785 before we were "aNUnited States." Mr. Ormond reminded his audi ence that "It Is up to us to possess that courage, determination etc., that our ancestors had in fighting sin and Jthe devil. We must be willing to make sacrifices." The speakers were introduced by Rev. M. T. Plyler, Associate Editor of the North Carolina Christian Advocate. Rev. E. H. Davis, host on this occasion to around three hundred guests, was presented to the group by Rev. 0. P. FitzGerald, pastor of the Louisburg Methodist Church, who also acted as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Davis, in his welcome, re lated the interesting historical facts concerning the first Metho dist conference held here at Qreen Hill, and told about Bishop As bury, John King, Green Hill and others whose names are connected with these historical events. In the beginning of the pro gram, after the singing of the Doxology by the entire group, the Bible selection was read by Rev. O. P. FitzGerald and prayer was led by Dr. A. D. Wilcox, President of Louisburg College. Several hymrfs were sung by the guests assembled in the grove in the front of the home. The benediction was pronounc ed by Rev.*P. S. Love, Presiding Elder of the Raleigh District: A bountiful barbecue dinner was served to the guests, cqjnpli ments of Mr. Ernest Haywood 9f Raleigh. The Sunday' program of the Sesqul-Centennial was held in the local Methodist Church where the regular order of worship was fol lowed. The sermon was delivered by Bishop Collins Denny who related the story of Paul especially em phasizing Paul's continual repeti tion of the story of his conversion carrying; with It his commission received from Christ. The main thought of the sermon was deve loped from the quotation "I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians: both to the wise and to the unwise," and was that we owe oar greatest debts (Contlaned on pace three)
