said:
Mr. PRESIDENT AND BRETHREN;
As the representative Of the cit
liens Of Marion, | have the pleas.
ure of welcoming you TO our
midst. 1t is always a pleasure to
welcome an invited guest, whose
coming has been looked for with
pleasant anticipation. 1t is espe-
cially pleasant in this instance, for
we feel and believe that God at
tends your coming, and that He
will be with you to bless our town,
in a special way by His presence.
When we read of the pilgrim ia
theirs, how they left homes, loved
ones, and their native land 10 come
to an unknown country, and then
look upon the magnificent empire
founded by them, We are filled
with admiration Of their courage
and faith; and, AZ We respect those
grand old pioneers who opened
the way into the wilderness, aud
built magnificent cities and cult
waited fields whore savages aud
wild beasts had been accustomed
to roam, and established govern
ment and order out of chaos, how
much should we reverence you,
the ministers of God who. leaving
worldly pleasures and comforts
behind, go forth into the wilder
ness OF sin TO establish Gods king
dom and implant the principles o
love and charity in the hearts
where Satan reigned aud that we're
filled with evil passion. Such men
are pioneers indeed, for it takes a
stronger courage and more liy-
ing faith for one deliberately to
lay aside worldly ambitions and
the hope of wealth and the com
forts and pleasures it can buy to
take up the tolls, privations and
disappointments of an itinerant
ministers life They are worth, Of
the greatest honor and respect and
as such we welcome you.
We feel greatly honored that
your Conference should have cho-
sen our little town for lis meeting
this year, the 200th anniversary of
the birth of John Wesley, the
founder of Methodism, who s o
preaching stirred up a revival of
religion that has not ended t. this
day, and from the effects OF which
has doubtless sprung the great tor
ward movement in all the Prot, 8.
tant churches for the evangelical
ton of the world
The Methodist church founded
by him in the old Foundry build
ing in l743 has, in 100 years,
grown from a weak and totterInp
infant to a strong and aggressive
man, and today more than ten mil
lions of its followers worship in
