METHODIST CONFERENCE
IN INTERESTING SESSION
Continued from Pase -


in observing this as our jubilee year.
and also 10 call brief attention TO
some OF the things which We must
do in order to properly observe this
golden jubilee.
This band Of forty-one itinerants,
thirty-three OF whom received APP
pointments at the hand OF Bishop
Marvin in 1866. has increased to
iSs. The thirty-nine hundred mem
bers reported to that conference has
increased to 10000. and this. too,
IN spite OF the fact that ten coun-
ties of our original territory were
given TO adjoining conferences.
Their ten Sunday schools with 500
members has grown TO 500 schools
with a membership of 100000.
Where they had not n single parson-
age, we now have 343, valued at
1861. 000. The very few. insignifi-
cant churches in which they preach
ed have increased to $50. valued at
100000. The largest salary paid
any pastor in 1866 was $500. paid
to the preacher in charge of the Cor
sicana station. the average for the
conference being only $3.50.
Last year the preachers OF these
two conferences were paid S374. :
600, an average of 5000 At that
conference they reported ST. col
lected for missions and $3.50 for
conference claimants. Last year We
reported for all coaneetional claims
s122,127, and for al purposes col
lected 100000. The total value
of all our church property now Isl
100000
when the conference was organ
lied they had not single organiza-
ton among the women. Now we
have 500 women societies with a.
membership of more than 5000.
"At our organization we had not
single school to which the church
had any title. Now within the same
territory we have five splendid train
ing schools with property valued at
$3.50. Doe. and about one thousand
students, besides our prorata share in
Southwestern University, Southern
Methodist University and Texas Wo-
mans College. At the end OF their
first year they reported a net gain
in membership of only 81. Last year
we reported more than 5000 re-
ceived on profession of faith.
Sin 1866 there were in this terri
tory about 90, 000 inhabitants and
one in every fifteen was Methodist.
In the same territory we now have a
population of about one million and
one in every seven and half Is n
Methodist
These figures give some idea of
our present status as far as Il can
be put in figures, While figures do
not lie they do not always tell all
the truth, The best part of history
is the unwritten part. No Figures
eaa adequately express the far reach
ing results of the preaching OF these
Methodist itinerants of the last fifty
years. Their lines have gone out to
the ends of the earth. Their influ-
