history of Methodism in this State from its
beginnings to the present time. Speaking Of
the early Conferences, the author sayx:
"There were only three four years (between
1920 and 1925 shat these conferences met in
North Carolina to do business, when they all
ceased, as if by common consent. The first
conference held for the Yadkin district, convened
at Leaksville, North Carolina at which thirty
local preachers were present. They transacted
good deal Of business, and during their stay,
considerable revival took place, and number
OF souls were converted and Joined the church.
The second was held at Mt Zion church, in
the county of Stokes, North Carolina in connec.
ton with a camp meeting. Much business was
done at this conference. Among the persons
iieeused to preach at this session was Sterling

let me remark that the day after Mr. Ruffin was

talents, and he became very useful and popu-

sickness a scene of great interest to his
family; several of the family were members OF
the Methodist ETiscopal Church; especially his
wife and one or two daughters. The scene OF
his dying hour was truly grand, when he was
