Bishop John Christian Kecn or,
Id. d..

Bishop John Christian Keen or,
Id. D.,
Who presides over the delibera-
tions Of our Conference this year,
was born in Baltimore, Nd, Feb
ruary.7, 1919. He graduated at
the Wesleyan University, Middle
town, Connecticut, in 1895. He
was converted in Wesley Chapel,
Baltimore, February s, 1888. In
l843 he was admitted on trial in
the Alabama Conference, and sent
as junior preacher with Dir. Lovick
Pierce to Che Franklin Street
Methodist Church, in tho city of
Mobile. After filling appoint
ments in Demopolis, Tuskaloosa
md Montgomery, Ala, he was
transferred in 1848 to Louisiana
Conference, and stationed in New
Orleans. From 1859 to 1866.
with the exception of few. years,
he served the New Orleans Dis
trict as Presiding Elder, some-
times exercising that Office in con-
nection with the pastorate of one
Of the city churches. From 1866
until his election to the episcopa-
cy, in 1870, he was Presiding Ell
der and editor of the New Orleans
Christian Advocate.
This is the third time that
Bishop Keener has presided over
the South Carolina Conference,
SO he needs no introduction to our
clerical readers. He makes an
admirable presiding officer, and
has rare administrative ability.
His varied and extended expert
ence in nearly every department
of Church work, from the duties
OF the junior preacher to those of
Presiding Elder and editor, emi-
nently qualities him for the dis
charge of the delicate and respon-
sible duties of the episcopacy.
Asapreacher, the Bishop takes
high rank. His sermons are quite
above the average, and are char
acterized by q clearness Of state,
ment, u logical force and spir-
itual power that seldom fail to
carry conviction to tho mind and
heart Of every hearer. A sermon
which he preached before the
Mississippi Conference, shortly
before his elevation to the episco-
pacy, gaze him correctional
reputation as preacher Of rare
force and power. The echoes
from that remarkable discourse
have not yet died away in the
Mississippi valley. But Bishop
Keencr can hardly be considered
a popular preacher, as that term
is usually understood. He is
more and better than that. His
aim in the pulpit is to convince
the Judgment and move the will
rather than please the fancy by
the show and tinsel Of mere ora
tory. With thoughtful hearers
those who appreciate strength
moro than polish, who seek in
struction rather than entertain
ment, Bishop Keener' will always
be @ favorite. Not that his SER
mons lack polish or foil to enter
tain /; for, few preachers have a
style moro chaste or q delivery
unaffected and sincere. But these
qualities are properly made to
take second place in the preach
e1's equipment for the work Of
the pulpit.
Our; readers need not be told Of
Bishop Keenor's gifts as q writer.
His contributions to this paper
during the present, year are suffi-
cient alone to establish hiss repu-
