In his removal the Methodist church
in Oklahoma loses one of its most
distinguished and efficient men
In hearing reports from the pastors,
Bishop Mouzon requested that only
items of spiritual interest be given
He required each preacher TO answer
three questions particularly: Have
you had revival in your church
this year? How many additions have
you had to your church membership?
Do you visit regularly in their homes,
and do you hold family prayer with
them?" In the midst of the morning
the bishop called the conference to
special prayer for a revival of deeper
religious devotion among the ministers
themselves. The reports indicated
large gains in memberships. Many
great and sweeping revivals had been
held, and practically every minister
stated that he made regular visits to
both church members and non-church
people, and held prayer with them.
Educational Campaign
The educational program became the
order of the day at 1890 o'clock.
Three distinguished leaders Of the
denomination We're present to speak
in behalf of the great educational
campaign. They were DR.. John H.
Reynolds, president of Hendricks Col
lege at Conway, Ark, general direct
or of the Methodist campaign for
thirty-three million dollars to be used
for the building of denominational
colleges and universities; Dr. John
A. Rice, of Southern Methodist Uni
versity at Dallas, and DR.. Bennett
Of Atlanta, Ca, who represents the
Life Service Movement. DR.. w. w.
Pinson, secretary of the church, from
Nashville, Tenn, also spoke for the
educational movement as factor
in world evangelization.
When DR.. r. +. l.. Morgan, in
charge of the educational movement
in Oklahoma, stood before the confer
ence, just before noon, and announced
that the educational commission had
located the proposed new college in
Tulsa, the city which had given a
cash bonus and campus to the value
of one million dollars, the conference
enthusiasm. Prolonged applause fol-
lowed the announcement, and when
the bishop arose and said, Some of
us preferred that the college go to
Oklahoma City. and some wanted it at
Shawnee, but now that Tulsa has been
awarded the school, We are ready to
forget our former preferences, and
TO put our entire strength behind
the college at Tulsa. The bishop
spoke in eulogistic language of the
attractiveness of the city of Tulsa,
and declared that but for the COM
ing of great sorrow into his own
home two years ago, he would have
moved his Episcopal residence from
Dallas TO Tulsa. He declared his
unqualified faith in the suitability
OF Tulsa to be the permanent home
of the new college.
