METHODISTS PASS RESOLUTIONS The Tennessee conference two j weeks ago passed resolutions in line with that of the Holstein conference of the same church and state in East Tennessee, and much stronger than the North Carolina Baptists, in ses sion last year representing a church with more membership than all other churches in this State combined. The resolutions adopted by the Tennessee conference declared “that in the at tempt of the anti-prohibitionists to name a President who is in direct con flict with the purpose of the Consti tution of the United States, we meet a flagrant challenge from these foes in the realm of civic duty and in non partisan and non-secretarian conflict. We are opposed to the nomination and election of any *wet candidate for legislative or administrative offices in the State or Nation, including the • Presidency.” Then the resolution con cluded: "Therefore we will endeavor to encompass the defeat of Governor A1 Smith for President as dangerous to the ideals for which we have strug gled in ail our conferences for a half Sfc&V More About M. P. Annual Conference (Continued from page 1) the old familiar gospel hymn, “Crown Him Lord of All,” was sung with fer vor by the delegates, ministers and visitors in attendance. This was fol lowed by a prayer offered by Dr. T. U. Johnson, of Gibsonville. Dr. Dix on read the scripture lesson from the 91st Psalm, and Rev. Lawrence G. Little, of Concord, general secretary of the board of young people’s work of the denomination, led in prayer. The roll call at the opening session revealed that a large number of del egates and ministers from the several pastoral charges were present for the deliberations of the 100th conference sessions. Following the morning session was the president’s annual message and the conference sermon by Rev. L. W. Gerringer, of Greensboro. The initial session was closed with a very im pressive communion service during which the Lord’s Supper was very ap propriately observed, and practically the entire conference participated. Dr. T. H. Lewis, of Washington, D. C., president of the general conference, conducted the communion service, be ing assisted by Dr. R. M. Andrews, president of High Point College, Rev. S. W. Taylor, of Burlington, Rev. R. C. Stubbins, of Enfield, and Rev. C. W. Bates, of Asheville. President’s Annual Message The president’s annual message, which was read to the conference by Dr. A. G. Dixon, the retiring presi dent, was a lengthy but interesting review of the work of the conference and the achievements of the denomi nation during the past year. The re port revealed that there has been a steady growth of the denomination, numerically, for the past year, there being an increase in membership of the various churches of the confer ence of approximately 1,000. The fi nancial condition of the conference was declared to be in splendid shape and the liberality of the people noted in the expenditure of over $36,000 for new church buildings and improve ments on church buildings. Included in this amount is the $2,000 spent by the local church on furnishings and improvements during the year. Very satisfactory and material progress was reported from the var ious pastoral fields, and the spirit ual progress was also noted to be good. Special reference was made in the message to the denominational institutions at High Point the High Point College and Children’s Home. The educational institution of the church at High Point was declared to be not only the pride and joy of the conference but is being recognized as the very heart of the conference. George T. Penny, of High Point, and J. M. Millikan, of Greensboro, prom inent laymen of the denomination, are leading in a campaign to cancel the indebtedness of the college, it was reported. By a generous dona tion of C. F. Finch, wealthy layman of the denomination at Thomasville, the erection of a gymnasium at the college will begin shortly. Discussing the support given the superannuated ministers of the con ference, Dr. Dixon said that these faithful soldiers of the cross are now receiving better support than in re cent years. He commended the con ference for their action last year in making an increased appropriation for these retired ministers, the amount of the support of these inactive min isters being $4,000. The president’s message also re viewed briefly the'work of the past five years during the term of office of Dr. Dixon. Figures given by Dr. Dixon showed that there are 92 charges in the con ference, an increase of 15 in the past five years, and that church member ship numbers 28,660, a gain of 3,066 in the five years Dr. Dixon has been president of the conference. Sunday school members in the same period have increased in number from 23, 182 to' 27,179. The salary promised ■ pastors made a gain of from $77, 1315 five years ago to $115,739. Mon j ey raised for all purposes five years ago was $236,407 as compared with $334,001 in 1927, a gain of $97,594. The value of all church property had increased from $1,243,100 to $2,607, 600, or a gain of $1,564,500. It is interesting to note in this connection the growth in the various departments of the conference since the sessions of the annual conference were held in Asheboro in 1902. That year Dr. T. M. Johnson was president of the conference and Rev. W. < E. Swaim was secretary. The charges numbered 62; ministers, 106; mem bers, 18,626; Sunday school enroll ment, 12,312; number of Sunday schools, 193; number of churches, 223; number pf parsonages, 25; and church property valued at $197,218. Still more striking is the contrast between the various departments of the church conference in 1927 and in 1894, in which year the annual con ference was first held in Asheboro.

The gospel was declared to be the power of salvation for four reasons as given by" Rev. Mr. Gerringer. First, because it is the only system of re ligious teachings that has a saviour in it. The second reason given for the power of the gospel of Christian ity is that it really does change men and make them permanently better. In the discussion of this phase of the gospel the minister declared that the gospel is the cure for crime because it makes a new man out of the crim inal. Referring to the great waves of crime and lawlessness that are sweep ing over the land, the preacher asked the question, what is the remedy for the crime wave, and gave as an ans wer to the question, the gospel of the Son of God. Discussing the third reason for the declaration that the gospel is the power of God unto the salvation of the human race, the speaker said that the gospel is the only power that can give peace to the world. “The gospel is the cure for the world’s unrest,” said the Greens boro pastor. He declared that mil lions of hearts are sighing for that rest that comes, not from any of the inventions, achievements or philos ophies of life, but from the gospel. The heart of the race is sick of war, and injustice, and greed, and dis — honesty, and immorality, and lust,! and longs for rest There can be no1 peace in the world when Christ, the Prince of Peace, is left oat The fourth reason for the state ment that the gospel is the power of God unto sal-ration of the human race was declared to be that it Is the only system of religious teaching that sets before the human heart a star of hope whose rays light up the way through death’s dark valley and out and on beyond the grave. The gospel of Christ was held to be the only solu tion of all the problems of life. There is not a modem problem so complex that it can not be solved in the light of the teachings of Jesus Christ. Closing his discourse, Rev. Mr. Gor lin ger made a strong appeal to the ministers of the conference to preach the gospel. The minister, said the preacher, is under obligation to preach the gospel and nothing else save the gospel. He may believe in science, and philosophy, and all other branches of knowledge, hut he has no author ity to preach any of these as gospel. He may even believe in evolution, as many devout Christians do, but the minister of the gospel has no com mission from the Lord of Glory to preach evolution. The commission from heaven is, “Breach the Word.’ During the morning session Dr. Dixon, the president, introduced to the conference the following ministers and laymen: Dr. T. H. Lewis, of Washington, D. C., president of the general conference; Dr. R. M. An drews, of High Point, president of High Point College; Dr. F. T. Benson, of Baltimore, ||Id., editor of “The Methodist Protestant”; Charles R. Reiner, of Baltimore, Md., agent of the publishing house; Rev. J. Clyde Auman, missionary to Japan; Rev. Lawrence C. Little, of Concord, gen eral secretary of the board of young people’s work of the denomination; Rev. P. E. Lindley, pastor of First church, High Point, and professor of religious education at High Point College; Rev. H. C. Carmichael, of near Greensboro, former minister of the Presbyterian church, now serving a pastorate in the Methodist Protest ant conference; Sheriff R. R- Ross, of Asheboro; George T. Penny, of High Point; Dr. E. F. Allman, super intendent of the Children’s Home; J. A. Dixon, farmer at the Children s Home. Two prominent women of the denomination were also presented to the conference, these being Mrs. C. L. Whitaker, of the High Pom^ Col lege, and Mrs. R. M. Andrews, wife of the president of the High Point College. Other sessions The sessions of the conference will continue throughout the week and will come to a dose with the session Monday morning, November 7th, when the stationing committee will file its report to be read to the con ference. Each session of the confer ence will be repiete with many fea tures of interest not only to the min isters and delegates in attendant but also to the general public which is cor dially invited to attend any and all sessions. The people of the town dur ing the first days of the conference have manifested great interest in the deliberations of thp body and large numbers have be4n attending, vis itors have been present also from var ious ports of the State and outside the State. Delegates and ministers to the con ference are being entertained in the homes of the people in the town and every effort has been made to make their stay in Asheboro pleasant. They are being courteously received by all the citizens of the town regardless of religious denomination, all of whom are delighted to have the opportunity of assisting in the reception of the annual conference.
