The members Of the family at the same

apparent than to the doctor. Mr. Charles
r. Miller. who has been almost constantly
at the house. said that he had not pre-

as was noted during today. This was
also accompanied by higher tempera-

and the denomination received recognition.
Here Mr.. Otterbein, in the same year, met
Mr. Asbury of The NJ. +. Church for tha
first time and I'm 1854 Mr.. Otterbein assist
ed in the ordination of Bishop Asbury. In
1890 the denomination assumed the name
United Brethren in Christ, which IL now
has, adding at this time the words I'm
Christ" to distinguish them from the Nor
avianS.
From 1900 to 1915 the church grew Slow
ly, but steadily, its work being solely
among the Germans. As many Of its MEN,
bers emigrated to Ohio and the west, they
carried forward the work, and in 1910 a
new conference was formed west Of the
Alleghanies, known as Miami.
Thus its spread was with the population
westward. until today 1t reaches the Pa
cific coast. The first general conference
convened in 1915, from which time atten-
tion was directed more earnestly toward
the English-speaking people. Through the
century the church has come. making Its
path luminous all the way with triumph
and prosperity, retaining TO the present
time all those vigorous, vital elements OF
evangelical life with which II began its
existence, and now has a constituency of
we'll nigh a quarter of a million OF conse-
Grated men and women and children. whose
faces are set like a flint toward the future
for the fuller triumph OF evangelical Chris
tianity.
History Of Progress.
Its history is the history of a progress
sive evangelical church Its attitude to-
ward all questions of moral reform has
been outspoken and plain. In 1915, at its
very first general conference. II placed the
stamp of condemnation on human slavery.
In 1921 II enacted a strong prohibitory
law forbidding the buying and selling OF
slaves by church members. even requir-
ing the manumission of slaves upon the
part of all slave holders who would con-
tinue their church membership. And final
ly, in 1897, 1t refused to tolerate slavery
in any wise in the church. This rule
brought bitter opposition from slave hold
ers and shut the church out of the south.
But our fathers stood like a mountain OF
rock against this curse upon American

His Real Conversion,

One Sabbath morning Mr. Otterbein
preached with great force and impressive
ness upon the necessity of repentance for
sin, and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as
a personal Savior. His audience was
deeply moved under his earnest sermon,
but none more than himself. After the
service one Of his auditors, who was greatly
awakened by the message came to Mr..
Otterbein for spiritual advice. But he re-
piled: My friend, advice Is scarce with me
today, and, retiring to his closet he con-

created, opportunities of visiting adjacent

and spiritual peace and joy The spirit of
this new awakening was contagious NOV
