The quadrennium from 1904 to 1908 was marked by a wave of evangelistic effort. In the Fort Wayne district alone in 1905 there were 1,545 conversions, and some notable meetings. Montpelier led the district with 281 conversions; 115 conversions were reported at Monroeville; 118 at Woodburn; 105 at Trinity Church, Fort Wayne. The Goshen district this year reported 1,300 conversions; Warsaw leading the dis- trict with 275. In the Muncie district 1,015 were received on probation, while great revivals were held in the Richmond and Wabash districts. The next year, 1906, the revival wave continued, and at the end of the year a total of 8,433 probationers was reported for the Conference, which was about two thousand more than the year previous. This was the high water mark

NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
for the quadrennium, though the number for the Con- ference in any year did not fall below six thousand. The General Conference of 1904 had appointed a com- mission on aggressive evangelism, and so successful had it been in instituting revival efforts throughout the church, that the North Indiana Conference took occa- sion, at its session in 1908, meeting at Anderson, to adopt a series of resolutions commending it, and re- questing the ensuing General Conference to continue the commission.
At the session of the Conference in 1908 at which Bishop Berry presided the following General Confer- ence delegates were elected : Henry W. Bennett, Cyrus U. Wade, Leslie J. Naftzger, C. C. Cissel, T. M. Guild, and W. D. Parr, with B. S. Hollopeter, T. J. Johnson and Somerville Light reserve delegates. The Confer- ence again went on record as favoring the return of the time limit, as did also the Lay Electoral Confer- ence. Among the other resolutions passed by the lay- men at this session of their conference, was one favor- ing the retention of the amusement clause in the dis- cipline; another asking that the General Conference recognize a men's organization under the jurisdiction of the church; a third approving the appointment of a commission to confer with a like commission from the church south, relative to union; and also resolutions relative to raising a permanent fund for Conference Claimants.
Along about the beginning of the century there began to appear in the Conference Minutes a report of a new committee, one on Hospital and Deaconess work. For a few years previous to this the North In- diana Conference had been somewhat interested in Wesley Hospital, in Chicago, but there were many who felt that Indiana Methodism should have its own hos- pital, and there was also a growing feeling in the church at large that the great Methodist Episcopal
217
NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
Church was not doing enough along this line of Chris- tian activity. A movement was accordingly begun in Indianapolis for the erection of a Methodist Hospital and Deaconess home, which should receive the united support of the three Indiana Conferences. The first directors of the Methodist Hospital from the North Indiana Conference were Charles L. Henry, of Ander- son, L. J. Naftzger and W. D. Parr. A campaign for funds was inaugurated, and in 1908 the hospital opened for work, there having been erected a splendid build- ing, entirely fireproof, and with all the latest hospital improvements. In the first ten months the hospital cared for, in wards and rooms, 555 patients, and the growth of the hospital since that time has been remark- able. Up to the present time two large wings, each one larger than the original building, have been erected, and the hospital now has a capacity of 250 beds. In 1907 the North Indiana Conference voted ten cents per member as a sustaining fund for the hos- pital, which example was followed by the other two In- diana Conferences, and this fund has been continued year by year. The trustees from the North Indiana Conference, the year the hospital was opened, were Albert B. Cline, of Bluffton; William D. Parr and Les- lie J. Naftzger, and of this number W. D. Parr has remained on the board. Mr. W. C. Van Arsdel was the president of the hospital board until recent years when Hon. Charles W. Fairbanks succeeded him, Mr. Van Arsdel becoming the vice-president.
While the Methodist Hospital was getting under way, another movement was begun to establish a Home for the Aged. At the Conference of 1907 meeting at Logansport, a communication was received from Mr. and Mrs. William Chopson, of Warren, Indiana, offer- ing to give $50,000 in United States bonds for the founding of a combination Orphanage and Old Folks' Home, or $25,000 to either one or the other of such
218
NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
institutions, to be located in or near Warren, provided the Conference would raise a similar amount. The Conference accepted this generous proposition, for the erection of a home for the aged, and recommended the appointment of a field agent, to collect funds for carrying out the provision of the gift. At the Con- ference of 1908 the field agent was continued, and lay and clerical trustees were selected. By the spring of 1910 the home was opened, and provision was made by the Conference of that year for its support.
From that time the home has been conducted most successfully, and in 1916 the financial resources were reported as $163,282. In 1910 there was a movement on foot to make the home a state-wide institution, and the building was inspected by representatives of the other conferences in Indiana, but for some reason this wise plan has not been carried through.
Since 1908 the following outstanding churches have been built in the Conference: Markland Avenue, Ko- komo, at a cost of $35,000; St. Paul's, Elkhart, at a cost of $25,000; Simpson Church, Fort Wayne, $48,- 000; Cambridge City, $22,000; Columbia City, $30,000; Windfall, $27,000; Garrett, $30,000; Huntington, $55,- 000; Warsaw, $45,000; Nappanee, $35,000, and the beautiful church at Mishawaka, which is perhaps the most costly church in the Conference. Besides these more costly churches, a number of buildings, ranging in cost from ten to twenty thousand dollars, have been built. Such churches are those at Union City, Fair- mount, Cicero, Bourbon, Ossian, Etna Green, Lapel, Spartanburg, Uniondale and Andrews. One of the notable things in the last few years, in the North In- diana Conference, is the attention being given to the country church problem. Perhaps in no conference in Methodism is a more intelligent effort being made to solve this grave problem than in this conference, and within the last few years many fine country and vil-
219
NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
lage churches have been constructed, following out the latest improvements in church construction. Such churches are those at Salem, on the Walton charge, Prospect on the Ossian charge, Union Chapel on the Portland charge, Beals Chapel on the Perkinsville charge, Cromwell on the Wawaka charge, Twelve Mile, Pleasant Hill, New Dayton, Waterloo charge, with four churches and every one either improved or rebuilt within the last few years, and Silver Lake, besides numerous others.
The year 1912 was General Conference year, with the Conference meeting at Wabash, Bishop Moore pre- siding. Nine ballots were taken before the six dele- gates and the three reserve delegates were elected, as follows: Somerville Light, Chesteen H. Smith, W. W. Martin, C. C. Cissel, M. S. Marble and C. E. Line, with B. S. Hollopeter, J. A. Beatty and C. U. Wade reserve delegates. The lay delegates elected this year were Everett Warren, of Muncie; M. B. Stults, of Hunting- ton; A. B. Cline, of Bluffton; J. M. Moulder, of Koko- mo; W. H. Charles, of Marion, and Mrs. J. H. Binford, of Greenfield. The reserve delegates were G. C. Mor- gan, of LaGrange; C. B. Stemen, of Ft. Wayne, and William Enslen, of Ft. Wayne. Among the interest- ing resolutions passed by the lay conference were some instructing their delegates to vote for President Mc- Connell for the bishopric, and also instructing their delegates to make a report at the next meeting of the lay conference concerning their work at the General Conference.
In the midst of all the material prosperity of the Conference the spirit of evangelism seemed to be dy- ing out. The great revivals, with which the century had opened, were not continued. And the Conference of 1912 asked their delegates to the General Confer- ence to "further evangelism as much as it is possible by General Conference action," and they also urge that
220
NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
their delegates oppose the repeal of the law in the discipline prohibiting popular amusements. From 1908 to 1913 there was a steady decrease in the num- ber of probationers admitted, but beginning with 1914 the tide of evangelism once more struck the Confer- ence. Following the example set by Mr. W. A Sunday, the use of tabernacles, and evangelistic parties was in- troduced in several of the cities of the Conference, and in a number of places whole communities were stirred. Such meetings were conducted at Hartford City and Greenfield, and also at Noblesville and Alexandria. In 1915 Grace Church, Hartford City, reported 334 con- versions, Noblesville 300, Alexandria 200. Such meet- ings were also conducted at Kokomo and Logansport, Elkhart, New Paris, Kendallville and Albion. The tab- ernacle meeting conducted at Fort Wayne in 1915 was one of the greatest held in the state, and the churches for a time after the meeting were crowded at every service. Such meetings were also conducted at Au- burn, Bluffton, Decatur and Union City. At the same time also many pastors were conducting their own meetings, with success, and were adding many to the kingdom, in their quiet way.
The last session of the North Indiana Conference was held at Wayne Street Church, Fort Wayne, in 1916, with Bishop McDowell presiding. With the rou- tine business and the usual reports the week passed pleasantly. General Conference delegates were elected to the Saratoga Springs Conference as follows: B. S. Hollopeter, R. J. Wade, George R. Grose, Somerville Light, W. W. Martin, James A. Beatty and C. C. Trav- is. L. M. Edwards, M. S. Marble and W. B. Freeland were elected the reserve delegates, while the lay con- ference selected to represent them, E. E. Youse, Mrs. May White, B. W. Ayres, George C. Meek, F. C. Par- ham, G. W. H. Kemper and G. W. Whitezel, with John
221
NORTH INDIANA CONFERENCE
Sutton, O. N. Cranor and Mrs. Josie Nelson reserve delegates.
Since 1900 seventy-four members of the Confer- ence have died, and of this number forty-six were over sixty-five years of age. Only six among this whole number were under forty. Among the honored dead are included N. H. Phillips, A. E. Mahin, M. H. Men- denhall, William H. Daniel, C. G. Hudson, H. N. Her- rick, Henry W. Bennett and Milton Mahin. But why should we make distinctions among the dead? Are they not all honored by their brethren?
As this book goes to press the news has reached us of the passage of a prohibition bill by the Indiana Leg- islature, by a substantial majority in both houses. Of the various influences which have contributed to this happy result, none have been more important than the Methodist Episcopal Church. In their report for 1916 the Conference committee on temperance stated: "We have arrived at the time when Indiana should attest the wisdom of its one hundred years by falling in line with the nineteen Prohibition states." Further they state: "We urge pastors and laymen to support no man for any public office who has not openly declared himself for state and national Prohibition." And there is no doubt but that most Methodists in the state car- ried out this admonition.

APPOINTMENTS IN INDIANA BEFORE THE ORGANIZA- TION OF THE INDIANA CONFERENCE.
The appointments for the North Indiana Conference begin- ning with its first session in 1844 and continuing until the con- ference was divided in 1852, are printed in Monson's Manual. Beginning with the session of 1852, the appointments have been printed every year in the Conference Minutes. They may also be found in Monson's Manual down to 1889.
The dates given are taken from "The Minutes of the Confer- ences," often called the General Minutes, and are for the begin- ning of the Annual Conferences at which the appointments immediately following were made. The figures after the appoint- ments are the number of members reported at that session.
