He graduated from Lincoln Univereity in 1899, and later entered the Divinity School at Philadelphia where he completed his train- ing for the Sacred Ministry. He came to the Diocese of North Carolina in 1903, was ordained deacon hy Bishop Cheshire in Feb., 1904, and was advanced to the Priesthood on July 25th, 1905. For about seventeen years he served faithfully the missions of St. Cyprian, Oxford, and St. Simeon, Satterwhite, until, on the morn- ing of September the 16th, 1920, he was called to his reward. 3n ilcmortam BatJiti |9oung Cooper The sudden death on December 20th of David Young Cooper, of Henderson, N. C, was a great shock and grief not only to his devoted family, but a multitude of friends thoughout the country. Nothwithstanding his seventy-three years, his "eye was not dim nor his natural force abated." Time had dealt gently with him so far as human perception might avail. Yet, as was felt by all who knew him well, he was taken away as he might himself have chosen — in the very midst of the service to which he so un- stintedly gave himself. A man of unusual ability and extraordinary energy, Mr. Cooper's life had been one of constant action. From his entrance, a mere youth, into the Confederate Army, to the time when came hlo final call, he was unceasing in the use of acute faculties and dynamic energies. In the business world of his city, his State, and the Nation lie held high place, and was a trusted conselor in his Parish and his Diocese. His geniality in daily intercourse with his fellowmen was a marked characteristic. He never seemed too busy or too burdened to have a kindly word or cheerful smile or cordial handshake for every one he met, while he was a host of unusual graciousness. And in his beneficences, which were quietly made and many, there was striking universality beyond class limitations. For almost, or quite, thirty years he was a member of the Vestry of Holy Innocents Parish, Henderson, N. C. He was loyal in his support, one who could be counted on at the meetings of the Vestry, a constant attendant upon the Church's services, a regular and humble recipient of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. We recognize, feel, and lament his loss to family, friends. State, and the Church. Isaac Wayne Hughes Chas. E. Johnson Rich. H. Lewis JOURNAL OF PROCEEDINGS FIRST DAY Durham, X. C, May 10, 1021.

Gordon Dr. Henry H. Dodson Eev. Milton A. Barber read the report of the Committee appointed at the last Convention to consider the adoption of the policy of "A Bishop and Executive Council." After a thorough discussion of the provisions of this report it was, on motion of Rev. John L. Jackson, laid upon the table. The Bishop read the report of the Trustees of the Diocese as follows : REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF THE DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA The Trustees of the Diocese respectfully report that the Vestry of the Church of the Holy Comforter at Burlington having proposed to donate the old building used as their parish church to the authorities of Alamance County upon certain terms agreed upon, have approved of the same, with the suggestion that as the build- ing is to be used as a place of public worship at the County Home, the County Commissioners should agree to keep it in good repair and should use it in accordance with the terms of the donation. This report was referred to the following committee: Messrs. L. H. Clement, S. P. Collier, and 11. P. Foxhall. Eev. Joseph D. C. Wilson presented the petition of the Mis- sion of the Good Shepherd, Cooleemee, for admission into union with the Convention, which was referred to the Committee on Xew Parishes. Ptov. Sidney S. Bost read the report of the Committee on Finance which was adopted as follows: REPORT OF COMMITTEE OX FINANCE The Committee on Finance met in the parish-house of Christ Church, Raleigh, on January 4, 1921, and transacted the following business: The Treasurer of the Diocese submitted his report for the year ending Dec. 31, 1920. This report showed a balance to the credit of the Episcopal and Contingent Fund of $1460.80. In the matter of collections the treasurer made such a remarkable showing that the Committee desires to commend it, and call especiall attention to it. Assessments for the year 1920 were $8,442.00. Of this amount, the treasurer on January 1, 1921, had collected $8,069.81. 24 JouKXAL OF Pkoceedixgs leaving due at that time the remarkable small sum of $382.19^ In other words, on the last day of the year, he had collected more than 959r of the total assessments. We believe that this record has not been equalled hitherto. In making up a proposed budget for this j^ear, it appeared that we would need $11,185.00 to meet current expenses. This budget appears below as a part of this report.- The Committee examined carefully the sources of income, and came to the con- clusion that we might reduce slightly the basis of assessment for the E. & C. Fund, which we recommend in a resolution below. The Committee ordered the Treasurer's books audited by Maj. J. J. Bernard, Certified Public Accountant. The Chairman of the Committee was requested to furnish to the Treasurer, within ten days, a Schedule of Assessments for the E. & C. Fund. The treasurer was asked to make requisition upon the Treas- urer of the Convocation of Raleigh for $32.00. the amount of in- surance premium on the residence of the Archdeacon, which amount had previously been paid by the Treasurer of the Diocese. Following is the budget offered by the Committee for the Con- vention's approval: Bishop's salary $5,000.00 Bishop's traveling expenses 500.00 Bishop's clerical help 300.00 Toward salary Suffragan Bishop 825.00 Premium on Pensions 650.00 Repairs Episcopal Residence 400.00 Printing Journal 1,050.00 Carolina Churchman 300.00 Provincial Synod 160.00 Salary of Treasurer 500.00 Salary of Secretary 300.00 Expenses Delegates Diocesan Convention 300.00 Expenses Delegates General Convention 200.00 Miscellaneous 700.00 Total $11,185.00 The following resolutions offered for the consideration of the Convention were also adopted: (l)That 12% be assessed upon Minister's Salary and Current Expenses to meet the requirements of the E. & C. Fund. (2) In order that there may be no misunderstanding as to the meaning of the terms "Minister's Salary and Current Expenses" as uted in resolution (1), the Secretary of the Convention is ins::ructed, in making up reports for the Journal, to group Current Expenses as follows: Under group (a) put item 1 of Current Expenses. Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 25 under group (b) put items 3, 4. and 9. Under |^) ^^^ ^^^^J^ 6 and 7 Under this arrangement assessments foi the E. & C 1^ una shall be made upon groups (a) and (b) This resolution shall con- tinue in force until repealed by the Convention. - (3) That the Treasurer shall be instructed to pay to the Suffragan Bishop ^825.00 a year or so much thereof as shall be necessary to make the total of the Suffragan Bishop's salary and traveling expenses ^2500.00 a year, beginning January 1, 19^1. (4) In accordance with resolution (7) of the Finance Com- nattee's report in the Journal of 1920, page 27, th^t^^^^;^^^^.^^; put in the budget this year, as it was last year, to help defiay the expenses of clerical delegates to the next Tri-ennial Convention. Respectfully Submitted, S. S. BosT, Chairman. Dr. Ricliard H. Lewis read the report of the Trustees of St. Mary's School as follows : REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF ST. MARY'S SCHOOL The President of the Board of Trustees of St. Mary's School presents the annual report of the said Trustees as required by the Act of Incorporation.

On hand last report $1020.10 Since May 1, 1920, $1000 has been loaned to the Raleigh Bank- ing & Trust Co. with interest at 67c- The Special Treasurer of the St. Mary's Fund— the $2.50,000 Fund for Buildings and Endowment — report that the total pledges to date as now carried on the books for the campaign in the Caro- linas amount to $146,494.67, distributed as follows: . Diocese of North Carolina . . .$ 84,552.92 Diocese of East Carolina 24,517.00 District of Asheville 5,907.50 Diocese of South Carolina 30,000 From outside the Carolinas 1,520.25 $146,497.67 The quota for the Carolinas was set at $200,000. The campaign outside the Carolinas — the National Campaign, with headquarters in New York — was inaugurated last fall with the object of raising $100,000. It is too early to judge of the re- sults of this part of the general campaign. To date some $3358, has been paid in. The Treasurer has received from payments on the pledges in the Carolinas, interest on Liberty Bonds, etc., a total of $83,850.66 in cash and $4,550 in Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps, etc., a total of a little less than $90,000. Of this amount $17,825 has been expended on the campaign in the Carolinas; $7,500 for the National Campaign; and $50,000 has been applied to the improvements in Smedes Hall and the heating system at the School. The above figures are approximately correct, the exact balances are not accessible at the present moment. Payments on a large number of the pledges are in arrears and a renewed effort to bring these up to date would mean much to the Fund. The Trustees have to report that supplementing the improve- ments in the buildings and heating plant made in the summer of 1919, considerable additions to the equipment were made dur- ing the past summer, especially in modernizing the Laundry Equip- ment ($3500) and in improving the equipment of the Music De- partment ($3500). The buildings and equipment are now in fair shape though they will require a decided expenditure each year to keep them in the proper condition. Diocese of ^orth Carolina, 1921 27 To repeat the statement in the report of last year, while the School plant has been greatly Improved, there are still many press- ing needs to be met calling for liberal use of funds. Not to men- tion other matters, without any increase in the number of resi- dent students, which is now limited to 200, there is need of much increased dormitory space, while the bonded debt of $40,000.00 is yet unpaid. Perhaps it should also be stated that the figures heretofore given in this report do not include the one-half interest in the Trust Fund of $30,000, created by Dr. Lawrence S. Holt, and in the custody of the Providence Life and Trust Co. of Philadelphia. The patronage of the School for the year 1920-21 is thoroughly satisfactory. The total enrollment is 275, of whom 212 are resident students. There has been a larger attendance of resident students than in any previous year. There were 203 students in residence at the beginning of the year with a long waiting list, and more than a hundred applications had to be declined on account of lack of room. The geographical distribution of the students is much as here- tofore. The resident students represent 15 states and 20 dioceses. 75% (156) of them are from the Carolinas; and 97% (205) are from the Southern States. The diocese of North Carolina has had 62 girls in attencjance; East Carolina 54; Asheville 15; South Carolina 25; the Virginia dioceses 15; the Florida dioceses 13; Georgia 7; Maryland 7. The district of Columbia,' Alabama, Ken- tucky, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, and Mexico are also represented. In Church affiliation 70% (146) of the resident students are Episcopalians. There are 28 Methodists; 18 Presbyterians; 14 Bap- tists; and 6 of other denominations. All of which is respectfully submitted, Jos. Blouxt Cheshire. President of the Board of Trustees of St. Mary's School. Raleigh, March 31, 1921. This report was referred to the fonowing Committee : Rev. Frederick H. T. Horsfield :\Ir. Henry A. London Rev. Th'addeus A. Cheatham Mr. Thomas H. Webb Rev. Edwin A. Penick, Jr. Mr. Andrew H. Patterson This Committee later reported commending the excellent work being done at St. Mary's School and calling attention to the very notable progress that was being made by that in- stitution. 28 JouKXAL OF Proceedings Kev. Edwin A. Peuick, Jr., read tlie report of the Board of Managers of the Thompson Orphanage and Training In- stitution as follows : REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS OF THE THOMPSON ORPHAXAOE AND TRAINING INSTITUTION I. Financial (a) C2irrent Fund: During the past year the Orphanage has received strong financial support from the Church. The Treasurer's books were closed on December 31st, 1920, with a cash balance of $7,714.61 in the bank; bills receivable by the Current Fund in the sum of $1,950.00, making total assets of $9,664.61, with all obligations paid in full. This substantial balance is remarkable in view of the fact that the Current Fund was used during the year to pay for repairs and permanent improvements amounting in all to $2,550.00. The present financial health of the Orphanage is due in large measure to the amount and the regularity of the income derived from the Nation-Wide Campaign. The Diocese of North Carolina contributed through this" fund $12,584.10, and the Diocese of East Carolina $2,576.06. The District of Asheville Asheville contributed its Thanksgiving Offering and made other donations. (b) Encloioment and Building Funds: The total amount of securities held for the Endowment and Building Funds of the Orphanage on April 15th, 1921, was $30,935.65. Of this sum $10,926.65 belongs to the Edwin A. Osborne Building Fund. The Endowment and Building Funds do not include $10,000.00 in securities given to the Orphanage under the will of Mrs. Sadie Tucker Williamson. It was requested of the Executive Committee by Mr. Williamson, that he be furnished with a suggestion for a memorial building for which the Orphanage is now in special need. In response to this request, the Execu- tive Committee has submitted to Mr. Williamson a preliminary draft of plans for an infirmary, which he now has under consideration. II. Personnel (a) Officers: The office of Superintendent was made vacant by the action of the Board of Managers on April 19th, 1921, whereby the Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 29 Rev. Walter J. Smith was retired as superintendent emeritus, on a pension of $900.00 from the Orphanage. It was further decided that a clergyman be secured as his successor to the office of superintendent, and the Executive Committee was authorized to find and employ a man for this position. Mr J H. Cutter resigned as Treasurer of the Permanent Fund during the year, and Mr. F. 0. Clarkson was chosen in his place. The staff of workers at the Orphanage has remained un- changed during the past twelve months, with the exception of one teacher in the Senior Department. (b) Pupils: There are at present eighty children at the Orphanage, classified as follows: From the Diocese of North Carolina, 49; from the Diocese of East Carolina, 13; from the District of Asheville, 18. During the year 16 new children were admitted and 15 were discharged. III. Health The condition of the children's health has been carefully supervised by Dr. Wingate and Dr. Tucker, assisted by other physicians and dentists of the city of Charlotte. Five major operations and twenty-two minor operations have been per- formed. At two different times the children were confined by epidemics of measles and whooping cough. One girl has spent about nine months at the State Sanitarium for Tuberculosis, in Hoke County. The rule agc«ist admitting any tubercularly affected child is being stringently enforced. IV. Far^i The expenses of the farm this year, which include salary of the farmer, seed and feed for stock, purchase of new stock, repairs and improvements on the farm property, amounted to 54,258.28. The returns from the farm in products sold were $432 30 The farm products consumed in vegetables, fruit and stock feed was valued at $3,112.10. In addition to this, milk valued at $3,364.00 was produced. V. Improvements and Repairs The permanent improvements at the Orphanage during the year were: (a) The erection of a new laundry, cost, $2,000.00. (b) The construction of a bridge over the creek, at an approxi- mate cost of $400.00. 30 JOURXAL OF PrOCEEDIXGS (c) Work on the farmer's cottage, amounting to $150.00. (d) Damage by fire to Bronson Hall, estimated at $1,200.00, was repaired by funds derived from insurance. Plans for the Edwin A. Osborne Building have been adopted by ihe Board of Managers, and the Executive Committee is authorized to proceed at once to contract for the erection of this nevv' cottage, which will accommodate twenty-four additional children under four years of age.

Renwick Wilkes, has sub- mitted to the Convention a full printed report of the receipts for 1920. We desire to offer the following summary: Apportioned for Nation-Wide Campaign for 1920. .$89,265.00 Pledged for Nation-Wide Campaign for 1920 94.773.59 Amt. paid on Nation-Wide Campaign pledges, 1920. 84,108.97 While this report shows that the Diocese paid $5,157.03 less than the apportionment, we are glad to report that we overpaid our apportionment to the General Church, $154.57, placing our diocese among the eight dioceses which paid 100 percent of the 1920 quota, and making us the only diocese in the Province of Sewanee that overpaid our general apportionment and placing us with East Carolina as the only two in the Province that reached the quota. We overpaid our apportionment to the Thomp'^on Orphanage and the University of North Carolina. We came within a few dollars of reaching the requested needs for the Raleigh Convocation and for the work of Religious Education and Social Service. The Convocation of Charlotte had asked for $17,000.00, but we have received for this work $11,046.20, but as this amount is four times greater than the receipts for 1919, we feel that great success has resulted from the campaign for this missionary field. We desire to express our gratitude and appreciation to Mr. J. Renwick Wilkes for his untiring labor as our Treasurer. We feel sure that his systematic and business-like methods in this work have been a great factor in the fine results that have been accomplished, and we also desire to express our appreciation to the many church treasurers who have responded so willingly and regularly to Mr, Wilkes' reminders. As you will note in the Treasurer's tabulated report. 55 Churches overpaid their apportionment, 15 paid in full, 3 missions not ap- portioned made contributions, and of the 30 which did not reach the goal, only two have made no gift to the Nation-Wide Campaign. We also beg to submit the following report of the apportion- ments and pledges for 1921. Diocese of ^orth Carolixa, 1921 35 The Diocesan Committee took into consideration conditions ex- isting in several churches and at suggestion of Finance Committee reduced the apportionments against thirteen Churches a total of $5350.00. Therefore, as we had promised that the apportionments against the Churches would not be increased for three years, we were compelled to mak a total apportionment for 1921 of over $5000 less than 1920, or a total apportionment of $83,520.00, and so far with seven Churches not reported, we have pledged $81,763.00, or $1,766.00 below our goal for 1921. We desire to report that by action of the Executive Committee $2000.00 was borrowed for the 1920 Campaign work. Of this $1930.02 was used and it was necessary to pay this loan before making any other division of the funds, and therefore an amount was apportioned to each Church for that purpose and this amount was deducted by the Missionary Treasurer from each Church's payments before any other division was made. A full and detailed statement of the expenditure of this $1930.02 was published in the January issue of the Carolina Churchman. In 1920, $2240.00 was apportioned for Diocesan and Provincial Religious Education and Social Service, but the $2000.00 apportioned for provincial expense was not needed, as this work was under- taken by the General Church. The Diocesan Nation-Wide Cam- paign Committee at its September meeting made an additional appropriation of $750.00 for the Diocesan Board of Religious Edu- cation and of $250.00 for the Diocesan Board of- Social Service. There is still in the Treasurer's hands as of December 31, 1920, $818.09, and therefore, the Committee made no apportionment for this work in 1921. We are glad to report that of the 103 Churches against which an apportionment was made for 1921, 25 have pledged over-sub- scriptions, 54 have pledged full payment of their apportionment, and only 17 have not been able to pledge the full amount asked of them. We have not yet heard from the 7 following Churches: St. John's, Battleboro; St. Alban's, Littleton; St. Stephen's, Oxford; St. Jude's, Spring Hope; St. Timothy's, Union County; St. An- drew's, Rockingham County; and St. Cyprian's, Oxford. We are glad to report that five of these Churches have contributed already in 1921, although reports have not yet been received. In conclusion, we urge each church to make an earnest effort to do its full share and to make prompt monthly payments to our Diocesan Treasurer. We have had the Treasurer's books audited and we submit 36 JouRXAL OF Proceedixgs the Auditor's full report as finding all accounts correct and books carefully kept. Respectfully submitted, John L.

AGNES HOSPITAL St Augustine's is completing its fifty-fourth year. There have been enroljed during the year four hundred and eighty-eight (488) students, including thirty-four (34) in the Training School for Nurses at St. Agnes Hospital. The students will have paid over $21,000 toward their board and tuition. Thanks to the increased resources o^the American Church Institute for Negroes, as a result of the Nation-Wide Cam- paign and to the additional revenue from the students payments, 42 JouRXAL OF Pkoceedixgs the finances of the School are in better shape than they have been for several years past. The Academic and Vocational work of the School is becoming more and more standardized. The graduates from our Normal Course receive State Teachers' Certificates without further exami- nations. Work is progressing on our Model Farm which we hope to make an important feature of the School. A number of our young men are looking forward to entering the ministry. In addition to its regular work the School carries on religious and Social Service work for the people of the neighborhood. Monthly Conferences, Mothers' Meetings, etc., are held on the grounds. Young men from the School conduct religious Services in the neighborhood. In addition twenty-seven have been baptized in the School Chapel, and there have been twelve confirmed. There is a pressing need for an Administration and Class Room Building to release space needed for living quarters for the boys and young men. During June a Conference is to be held on the School Grounds for colored church workers for this province, and there is also to be a large gathering of student members of the colored Young Women's Christian Association. Dr. Mary V, Glenton, Superintendent of St. Agnes Hospital, re- ports that, up to May 1st, the hospital had admitted nine hundred (900) patients; there had been five hundred and forty (540) opera- tions and 14,310 hospital days. The expenditures have been about $25,000.00 of which amount over $15,000 has been paid by the patients. The Hospital and the Nurses' Home are badly in need of repairs, enlargement, and endowment. It is hoped that an adequate sum for these purposes will be raised in the near future. During the past year we have missed from their home on the School grounds. Dr. A. B. Hunter, Honorary Principal, and Mrs. A. B. Hunter, Honorary Superintendent of St. Agnes Hospital. Dr. and Mrs. Hunter are in Florence, Italy, where Dr. Hunter is in charge of the American Church. Respectfully submitted, Edgar H. Goold. Principal. Mr. Henry A. London spoke on tlie condition of the work at the University of the South. Mr. Henry A.

London, be continued and urged to devise ways and Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 43 means to raise the amount of the proposed endowment ap- portioned to this Diocese. On motion of Eev. Francis ^I. Osborne, the question of the current support of the University of the South was referred to the Xation-Wide Campaign Committee. Mr. Kalph B. Coit read the report of the Church Pension Fund Committee, which was referred to the Committee on the State of the Church, as follows : CHURCH PE^'SIO^^ FUND COMMITTEE'S ANNUAL REPORT TO DIOCESAN CONVENTION. At the request of ihe Chairman, I take pleasure in presenting a report for your Church Pension Fund Committee for the past year. In collecting the assessments, your committee handles accounts with sixty-eight (68) different parishes and with three (3) Convoca- tions. While assessment notices are sent out by the New York Office quarterly, a number of the Parishes pay their assessments monthly, so that there is considerable detail connected with the handling of these accounts. Your Committee has made every effort during the past year, not only to collect all assessments due for the year 1920, but also to collect arrears on accounts unpaid January 1, 1920. According to my records all accounts for the year 1920 of the sixty-eight (68) parishes were paid in full except four (4). The arrears and interest of these four accounts amounting to only $107.77. One Convocation is also in arrears, the amount being $100.26. A detailed statement of the Parishes and Convocation in arrears is attached to this report. Exhibit A. During the year 1920, your Committee secured from the Now York Office a complete statement of all Parishes in arrears on January 1, 1920, dating the beginning of the Church Pension Fund, and permission to collect these accounts, provided interest was col- lected at the rate of 89r. The statement showed nineteen (19) Parishes and one Convocation in arrears, amounting with interest to $1,337.62. Your Committee has collected nine of these accounts, reducing the arrears to $772.52. A statement of the Convocation and Parishes in arrears for accounts due prior to January 1, 1920, is attached to this report. Exhibit B. Under date of December 31, 1920, in writing to the Secie'.ary of the Church Pension Fund, I made inquiry as to the last date upon which the Pension Fund would accept 1920 assessments. I de- 44 JouRXAL OF Proceedixgs sire to quote the following from Mr. Sayre's letter in reply: "In answer to your inquiry as to the last date on which we can receive 1920 assessments I would say that up to this time the Trustees, except in cases where it is manifestly not proper to give further extension of time, have in each case presented to them waived the rule in regard to the receipt of 1917, 1918, and 1919 assessments and allowed them to be received after March 1st. I think that they will do the same in regard to 1920 assessments. But I am also of the opinion that, from discussions in the Board, they will think that after four years parishes should be habituated to a reasonably prompt payment of pension assessments and that they will pass a general resolution that, in regard to 1921 assessments, the rule will be enforced. That is, I think that you can send to us at any time assessments due not later than December 31, 1920, with the appropriate interest, and I can practically guarantee that they will be accepted, but that next year the Trustees will see that the rule is strictly enforced. I will be glad to inform you concerning any action which the Trustees may take. "May I add that we appreciate your vigorous coopera- tion in getting in the back assessments in the Diocese of North Carolina. I think that it is wise to have allowed leeway during the early years of the Fund, and I think that you will probably also agree that hereafter this should not be necessary and would not be for the good of the Church." Your Committee has been pleased to note the large number of Parishes w^hich have increased the stipends of their rectors during the past year. An increase in the rector's salary means an increased interest in the Pension Fund and greater protection for his wife and family. Your Committee also wishes to express it.-3 appreciation of the splendid cooperation it has received from all of the Parishes during the past year. Respectfully submitted, Rali'h B. Coit.

At the same time consent was given to the Dioceses of Colorado and West Virginia to elect a Bishop Co-adjutor, on the ground of extent of diocesan work. To bring this report up to date, we cite the following official acts of the Committee since Jan. 1st, 1921: On Jan. 22nd, the following physicians, on nomination of the Bishop, were elected as examiners of those applying to be received as Postulants: Dr. Augustus W.

(2) That the Bishop be authorized to call meetings of this Committee, and of the Archdeacons, the Treasurer, and the several Boards and Commissions, charged with carrying on the work of the Diocese, that by mutual conference and agreement they may promote harmony, coordination and efficiency in the work of the Diocese. (3) This Executive Committee shall be the medium of com- munication between the Diocese and the Presiding Bishop and Council, for cooperation in the general work of the Church. (4) The Bishop of the Diocese is hereby authorized to employ a Secretary to assist him in the administration of the Diocese, and this secretary shall also act as the secretary of the Executive Committee. The Bishop is authorized to draw on the Treasurer of the Diocese and the Treasurer of the Nation-Wide Campaign Fund in equal amounts not t© exceed $500.00 a quarter to pay the salary of his Secretary and the expenses of the Executive Com- mittee. The Bishop appointed the following Committee to nominate the Execntive Committee: Mr. Henry A. London Dr. R. H. Lewis Rev. Edwin A. Fenick, Jr. On recommendation of this Committee, the Executive Committee w^as elected as follows : Rev. Charles A. Ashby, Raleigh, X. C. Rev. Alfred S. Lawrence, Chapel Hill Rev. Sanford L. Rotter, Monroe Mrs. L. A. Tomlinson, Durham Mrs. Dorian H. Blair, Greensboro Mrs. Thomas W. Bickett, Raleigh Mr. Frederick W. Glover, Charlotte Mr. Frank S. Spruill, Rocky Mount Mr. J. Augustus Moore, Roanoke Rapids Rev. John L. Jackson offered the following resolution which was adopted : Resolved, that the Diocesan Board of Religious Education and Social Service, and the Committee on the Nation-Wide Campaign shall each consist of three members appointed by the Bishop, with authority to call in the assistance of others. Clergymen, Laymen or Laywomen. Rev. Robert E. Roe read the report of the Board of Religious Education as follows: The General Board of Religious Education has been at work for some time trying to formulate a programme that may be gen- erally adopted by the various Dioceses as an authoritative basis of work. In a tentative form this programme was sent last Feb- 48 JouEXAL OF Proceedings ruary to the Rectors of Parishes throughout the Church. A meet- ing is called for May 18th in Pittsburgh, when final action is to be made. When Diocesan Boards have this complete programme they will be in better position to give help to the various parish schools. To secure best results with this programme, the General Board is anxious to have a complete survey of all the Schools throughout the Church. In line with this, your Diocesan Board is now securing a report from every School in this Diocese. It was hoped that this might be done in time to give this Convention a picture of our Sunday School work in the Diocese. Returns have not made this possible; but, when it is secured, it will be of great help to our work. It is a feature of the general programme that an Educational Committee be appointed by the Rector in every Parish and Mis- sion. It seems to your Board that this is the best means of pro- moting this important w^ork. Such a committee could study its own local needs and on the basis of this study confer with the Board wherever it seemed the Board could help. It would be such a real help to the Board to have such a committee in every Parish, that your board asks that consideration be given this request. The Board has held such meetings as were necessary. At the Convocation of Charlotte the Chairman of the Board held a con- ference on the proposed programme; at the Convocation of Raleigh, the Rev. Warren W. Way held a similar conference. Miss Mabel Lee Cooper has also held conferences for the Board at various places in the Diocese. The Board is giving what cooperation it can to those in charge of St. Mary's Conference. The work on Schools and Teach- ing at the Conference is going to be well worth while and it is hoped that a fine attendance may make possible to the Diocese fine results. By cooperation between this Board and the Board of Religious Education of East Carolina, a course" of lectures on "The Funda- mentals of the Faith" was delivered at the University of North Carolina by the Rev. Dr. George Craig Stewart of Evanston, 111. As has already been said, the Junior Auxiliary, now called the Church School Service League, has been placed under the direction of the Diocesan Board of Religious Education. This has taken more time than any other feature of our work; but the need of getting this work started has seemed to justify special importance being given it. The various departments have been organized, officers elected, and considerable headway made in changing to the new order. A special report of this work, prepared by Mrs. H. M. Bonner, President of the League, will be appended to, and made a part of this report. We have been greatly helped in our work by a grant of $750 Diocese of North Carolina, 19^21 49 from the Finance Committee of the Nation-Wide Campaign. With- out this we could not have done much that has been done. Our complete exhibit follows: Received: From Mr. J. Renwick Wilkes (apportionment and special) $851.64 Mr. Henry M.

REPORT OF CHURCH SCHOOL SERVICE LEAGUE As the Junior Auxiliary by direction of the Presiding Bishop and Council had been placed under the direction of the Board of Religious Education, the Woman's Auxiliary of this Diocese, at its meeting in Oxford made formal transfer of this work to the Diocesan Board. The League held its organization meeting in Raleigh at the time of St. Mary's Conference, the following officers being chosen with the Bishop's approval: Mrs. H. M. Bonner, President, Mrs. Warren W. Way. Vice-President, Miss Sarah F. Cheshire, Secretary, Mrs. Gilbert Hay, Secretary for Box Work. Mr. Hamilton C. Jones, Treasurer, Mrs. F. S. Spruill, Secretary Little Helpers, Mr. H, M. Weathers, Treasurer Thank Offering. With this action the Junior Auxiliary officially ceased to exist; however, the Board will have under its care every branch of the Junior Auxiliary until all branches are merged into the Church 50 JouKXAL OF Proceedings School Service League. In this new step forward, it should be noted that the Little Helpers and the Font Roll have combined; together, they form "The Little Helpers Department of the Church School." The work of the League is divided into five fields of service — The Parish, the Community, the Diocese, the Nation, and the World, with the five-fold objects of Prayer, Study, Work, Gifts, and Fellowship. In addition to visits to Parishes and many letters, a copy of the Plan of Organization was sent to every Rector of a Parish, and articles bearing upon this work have been printed in the Carolina Churchman.

Morrison Bethea, Sec. The Rev. X. C. Duncan read the report of the Committee on Social Service. The Rev. Mark H. Milne read the report of the Committee to which was referred the report of the Board of Managers of the Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution, as follows : Your Committee have heard with pleasure the report of the Board of Managers of the Thompson Orphanage and Training Institution. The Committee makes no recommendations. How- ever, we wish to make special note of the increased support of the Orphanage through the Nation-Wide Campaign, showing a cash balance of $7,714.61. The Committee would also express the greatest appreciation for the generous gift to the Orphanage under the will of Mrs. Sarah Tucker Williamson, and also to the friends who con- tributed so generously at the last Convention to the Edwin A. Osborne Memorial Building. The Committee desires to pay heart-felt tribute to the work of the Rev. Walter J. Smith, now retiring from active super- intendency of the Orphanage after twenty-three years of active service and highest devotion on the part of both himself and family. With the limited means which the Church has in the past placed at his disposal, few men could have accomplished what he did. We rejoice with him in the high state of efficiency to which, under God, the Orphanage has been brought and for the place which it now holds in the hearts of our people. Rev. Walter J. Smith spoke on the work of the Orphanage. Rev. Warren W. Way offered the following resolution which was referred to the Committee on Canons : Resolved, that the number of Examining Chaplains of the Diocese be increased from six to eight. Rev. Sidney S. Bost read the report of the Committee on Finance which was adopted as a whole as follows : Resolved, that all arrears against the following Parishes and Missions to January the first 1921 be remitted- 52 j0UE2s^AL OF PROCEEDINGS Duke, St. Stephen's $68.30 Edgecombe County St. Matthews 9.38 High Point, St. Mary's... 112.10 Iredell County, St. James 40.73 Mayodan, Messiah 196.25 Reidsville, St. Thomas . . 139.00 (This church has paid nothing since 1917) Salisbury, St. Peter's 13.00 Southern Pines, Emmanuel 34.00 Stoneville, Emmanuel... 10.88 Townsville, Holy Trinity. 88.80 Wake Forest, St. John's. 13.00 Colored Convocation Charlotte, St. Michael's..? 18.90 Greensboro, Redeemer... 17.15 Louisburg, St. Matthew's. 48.21 Monroe, Holy Trinity... 8.00 Oxford, St. Cyprian's 24.23 Pittsboro, St. James 22.08 Statesville, Holy Cross. . . 53.55 Satterwhite, St. Simeon's. 11.58 Durham, St. Titus 22.25 Warrenton, All Saints... 65.40 Warren Co., St. Luke's.. 19.88 Winston-Salem St. Stephen's 13.80 Resolved, that the Assessment upon St. Matthew's, Rowan County, be made $6.00 for the year; and that Assessment upon St. Jude's, Rowan County, be made $3.00. Whereas, the assessment upon the Chapel of the Cross, Chapel Hill, for the E. & C. Fund w-as made this year upon the basis of the total salary paid the Rector, and not upon that part of said salary paid by the Chapel of the Cross. Resolved, That the assessment for this year be reduced from $280.00 to $155.00 While speaking of the work at Chapel Hill, your Committee are of the opinion that the salary of the Rector, or any part thereof does not properly come within the province of the E. & C. Fund. At the Convention of 1920 a resolution w^as passed (see page 53 of the Journal) requiring that $1,000.00 be paid out of the Nation-Wide Campaign Treasury as our annual appro- priation to Chapel Hill. The resolution further said, "But, if there should not be sufficient money available in this fund, the Finance Committee of the Diocese is instructed to provide for the deficiency." Obviously, the first thought of the Church is that the work at Chapel Hill should be provided for out of the funds of the N. W. C. Under the resolution just referred to, the Treasurer of the Diocese has paid from the E. & C. Fund to Chapel Hill during the year 1920, $360.00. We are glad to know that the Executive Committee of the N. W. C. has agreed to assume the full obligation of the $1,000.00 and the Pension Fund Premium upon same for the year 1921. Resolved, that the Diocesan N. W. C. be instructed, when it Diocese of :N'orth Carolina, 1921 53 plans its work for the ensuing year, to make adequate provision for the payment of the full Diocesan appropriation to the work at Chapel Hill. Respectfully submitted, S. S. BosT, Chau-nian. Mr. W. A. Avaiit read the report of the Good Samaritan Hospital which was referred to the Committee on the State of the Church as follows: RErORT OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL, CHARLOTTE, -\. C. The Board of Managers of the Good Samaritan Hospital, Charlotte, N. C, herewith submits its annual report: During the year the Hospital has accomondated 516 pay and partial-pay patients for a total of 4,386 days, from whom fees were received in the sum of 8,393.85. The patients classified as charity, for whom no fees whatever were received, were 216 in number. These were treated for a total period of 1,427 days at a cost to the Hospital of $2,078.94. The Board of Managers regards it as worthy of special note that such a large proportion of these negro patients were able to pay for their treatment. It is an accepted fact that few hospitals with less than fiftv beds can be self^maintaining. We have twenty beds and always from twenty-five to twenty-eight patients. This necessarily means a serious over-crowding, which detracts from the efficiency of the hospital service. ^, • + . Our greatest need at present is an annex with thirt> additional beds. During the year the negroes of Charlotte have raised a fund of $1200 00 as an initial contribution towards this needed addition. On December 5, 1920, the corner-stone was laid. We hope the people of Charlotte and our Church in the Diocese will encourage the colored people in this undertaking since they have sho^^'n such a disposition to help themselves. The following is a brief summary of the hospital ^^ork during 1920, and its financial status at the close of the year: 747 Patients for 5,809 days Receipts from Patients, and gifts $10,528.3o Total expense account 10,472.79 Balance December 31st 5o.56 EndowTiient at interest $1500.00 Annex Fund at interest 3500.00 Respectfully submitted Mrs. M.

Fatten, D.D., who spoke on the American Church Institute for Xegroes and the ISTation-Wide Campaign. The Bishop spoke on the work of the Church at Chapel Hill, and on motion of Mr. Wm. A. Erwin the Convention endorsed the work of this Parish and pledged the support of the Convention to this important under- taking. Pledges were made to the Building Pund of the Church at Chapel Hill as follows : The offerings of the Congregation were received for the missionary work of the three Convocations.

The Bishop announced that he had been authorized to offer a reward of $50.00 for the best essay, not to exceed 2000 words, on "How a Layman may best serve the Church and its Work." Rev. Robert B, Owens read the report of the Committee on Canons which was adopted as follows ; — Resolved, That Canon V, Sec. 1, be amended by striking out the words "also a Committee on Apportionments." Resolved, That Sec. 9 of the same Canon be stricken out. Resolved. That the duties heretofore performed by the Com- mittee on Apportionments shall in the future be performed by the Executive Committee of the Diocese. Resolved, That the Secretary of the Diocese and the Chairman of the Committee on Canons be instructed to have printed a new edition of the Constitution and Canons. 56 JouRXAL OF Proceedings On motion, the Rt. Rev. Henry B. Delanv, D.D. and the Rev- Thomas L- Trott were excused from further attendance upon the sessions of the Convention. The Bishop appointed the following Committees : On Pensions: Rev.

(2) That the assessment upon All Saints, Concord, be made this year $100.00 instead of $202.00. Rev. Alfred S. Lawrence read the report of tlie Com- mittee on the state of the Church as follows : REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OX THE STATE OF THE CHURCH, Last year the Committee on the State of the Church made the statement thai the Convention seemed to be a sort of high water mark in the life of the church. We are thankful that it was not, and that this year we are able to record that the diocese of North Carolina has taken a further step forward. Stevenson rightly said, "To travel hopefully is a better thing than to attain, and the true success is to labor." So, though it is our pleasure to record some splendid attainments, we consider that the best part of our report is the clear indication that it gives, that our diocese is at work, that it is alive to its task, and that it has no intention of resting on any point attained. The real value of this brief record of what has been accomplished in the past year is the encouragement it gives us to go forward. Last year we were able to report that the Nation-Wide Cam- paign Pledge had been made in full. Now we can report that Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 57 it has been paid in full, and that there is every possibility that it will be paid in full again this year, and this in spite of serious industrial and agricultural depression. Many of our people have come to realize the importance of the church's work, and so have given. Others have given simply because they were asked to do so, and as churchmen felt that they must do so, but as a result of their giving they have become interested. There is no question that the interest of our people in the church's work, whether in the diocese or in far away foreign fields, is greater than it ever was, and better than that, it is a growing interest. As regards the statistics of the diocese a rather remarkable thing has happened. We hope it will never be remarkable again, but it is unprecedented to date. Every parish and Mission has made its report to the Secretary of the Convention. Note it well. It means that for the first time in history every Parish and Mission has answered "here" when the secretary called the roll. The summary of these reports shows an increase in everything except burials; that is the only decrease. The most encouraging increase is that in Sunday School pupils and teachers, an increase of 100 in officers and teachers, and of nearly 600 in pupils. This is a healthy growth, and w^e trust that next year will show a yet larger gain in this field. We are all familiar with the vast increase in offerings brought about by the Nation-Wide Campaign, so there is no need to comment on what is perfectly well known. But what is not so well known is the large increase in ministers' salaries. This increase over last year is 28%. The reports of the church institutions are excellent. The orphanage is in the best condition it has ever knov/n. During the past year one building was erected and the ground has been broken for the Edwin A. Osborne cottage. With the support that is now assured it, the orphanage stands w^ell equipped to do its work. St. Marys School continues to be crowded to capacity with a long waiting list. Its work is too well known to need comment. We regret that the Endo^^^nent Fund is not yet completed, but trust ihat next Convention will see this matter successfully concluded. The Woman's Auxiliary has made important changes. At a note-worthy gathering in Winston-Salem last month, it adopted a constitution, elected a president, and re-organized its plan of- work, looking on the one hand to centralization and on the other hand to broader fields of service. We note with gratitude the reports of the Archdeacons, showing that almost every Parish and Mission of the diocese is filled or about to be filled. This condition enables the Arch- 58 JouKXAL OF Pkoceedi:n^gs deacons to do their more important work, the opening up of new- fields and the strengthening of the weak ones. St. Augustine's Schools and the colored hospitals show excellent work and fairly good support. But we have one most distressing thing to record; the colored convocation has had no proper support. In spite of the Nation-Wide Campaign, in fact really because of it, the colored convocation has received less support than it received two years ago. It has come about in this way. When the diocesan budget was made up, the two white convocations were provided for by the diocese, but acting on the advice of the central office in New York, the care of the colored convocation was left to the general church. Because the majority of the dioceses of the church failed to attain the financial success desired, the amount that can be spared for the colored work of our convocation is little more than one-quarter of what was counted on. Last year's report on the state of the ch'urch called attention to this fact, already manifest then. A resolution on the subject was made, but nothing was done. The colored clergy and teachers cannot live on resolutions. It is not the function of this committee to do more than to record the state of the church. But we trust that this Convention may find time to act in such a way that relief may be accorded immediately to Bishop Delany and his faithful band of clergy and teachers. We are confident that this accidental neglect can be and will be quickly remedied. It is the only exception, though we grant it is a serious exception, to the record of achievements. We should like to commend the work of the Board of Religious Education. Its report shows constructive work and a widespread influence. The Carolina Churchman is increasing its usefulness. Wherever one finds a man or woman well informed in the work of the diocese, there one always finds a reader of the Carolina Churchman. The editor deserves the thanks of the diocese for his labors in making this paper a very real asset to the life of the church. There are many other phases of church life in the diocese that we should like to comment on, but to do so would make this report unnecessarily long. The unique work among the deaf mutes deserves mention, however. Few of us can appreciate how much it means to the deaf to have one of their number to come among them to preach the Word in the language they understand, to baptize and teach their children, and to minister in every way to their spiritual needs. It is a work of which the diocese may be justly proud. But after all, this report has only one purpose, namely, to record a step forward in the life of the church in North Carolina. With grateful and humble hearts we are able to record that that step Diocese of ^orth Carolina, 1921 59 has been taken, and that having taken it we are all the more ready to go on. We can record only material progress, but such progress is an indication 'that behind and Underneath it is a spiritual progress. It is an increasing love of God and of our fellowman that has made the past year such a splendid record of achievement. In spite of the manifest difficulties and discouragements of this reconstruction period the diocese is of one heart and one mind — to make real as far as in us lies tho prayer we pray daily, "Thy Kingdom come." Signed, Alfred S. Lawrence, For the Committee. Rev. Charles A. Asliby offered the following resolution which was adopted: — Resolved. That the Diocese borrow $2000,00, as the same may be required, to be used in paying the salaries of the colored Clergy; and that the committee appointed at the last Convention to co- operate with the work of the Colored Convocation, be continued and instructed to provide for the payment of this amount. .12 Xoon. Prayers for Missions were said by the Bishop. The tellers announced the election of the following Delegates to the Provincial Synod : — Clerical Lay Rev. Lewis N. Taylor Mr. Benjamin F. Finney Rev.

A. Robinson Mr. F. S. Spruill offered the following resolution which was adopted by unanimous rising vote : Resolved, That this Convention convey to the Rector and Parish of- St. Philip's, Durham, our cordial, hearty and grateful appreciation and thanks for its splendid entertainment of the Delegates and Convention during this week. On motion the thanks of the Convention were extended to the press of the city of Durham for their full and careful reports of the several sessions of the convention. Rev. Francis M. Osborne offered the following resolution which was adopted: 60 JOURXAL OF PrOCEEDIXGS Whereas the Church of Jesus Christ prays for peace and earnestly hopes for that day to come when war shall cease in all the world. And whereas the building of great national armaments may be a menace to the peace through encouragement of pride and trust in worldly strength and material might. And whereas the Christian people of this nation are now called upon and desire to use the material resources with which God has blessed our land for the crying needs of the suffering and distracted world, which resources are wasted and exhausted by the expense of unlimited armament. Be it therefore resolved that w^e petition Congress to support plans for an International Conference on disarmament. On motion of Mr. Thomas H. Webb a committee was appointed to prepare a suitable minute in memory of Mr. D. Y. Cooper. The Bishop appointed this Committee as follows; — Rev. Isaac W. Hughes Dr. R. H. Lewis Col. Charles E. Johnson The Bishop nominated the Examining Chaplains who were confirmed by vote of the Convention as follows: Rev. N. Collin Hughes Rev. Francis M. Osborne Rev. Warren W. Way Rev. Alfred S. Lawrence Rev. Edgar H. Goold Rev. Robt. B. Owens Rev. Robert E. Roe Rev. Edwin A. Penick, Jr. After the singing of the Gloria in Excelsis and the Benediction by the Bishop, the Convention adjourned to meet Tuesday, May the 16th, 1922, at a place to be selected by the Bishop. Signed, Jos. Blount Cheshike. BisTiop. Attest: Morrison Bethea, Secretary APPENDIX A ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP ADDRESS OF THE BISHOP Brethren of the Clergy and Levity: By the goodness of God we again meet in annual Convention, the one hundred and fifth in the history of the Diocese, and thank God, and take courage. May He so guide and govern us in our work, by the mighty power of the Holy Ghost, that by mutual counsel, sympathy and love we may provide wisely for the affairs of His Kingdom, and be enabled bravely and faith- fully to carry out the policies upon which we shall agree. During the year 1920, covered by this address, we have lost from our ranks in the Diocese two of our brethern of the Clergy, the Rev. Simeon J. M. Bro^vn who died March 31st, and the Rev. Charles Henry Male, who died September 16th. Of IjlLv. Brown I spoke in my address to the Convention of 19^6. Of the Rev. Mr. Male there is only a short story to be ■^told. He was a native of one of the British West India Islands, the Island of St. Christopher, or St. Kits, as commonly called, and came to the United States to complete his education at Lincoln University, Chester County, Pa., a large colored insti- tution, from which he was graduated. Feeling an urgent call to devote himself to the ministry of the Church, in which he had been brought up in his native island, and finding no open- ing for work in the ^orth, he came to this Diocese in the year 1903*, with a letter of transfer from the Bishop of Pennsylvania, under whom he had become a candidate, and was ordained by me to the Dioconate in February, 1904, and advanced to the priesthood a year and a half later. The whole of his ministry was spent in charge of St. Cyprian's Church, Oxford, and the country mission of St. Simeon's, Satterwhite. He was an earn- est, faithful, and godly man, -devoted to the Church, and patient and gentle under the discouragements of his work. He had been in poor health for some time, but to me his death was unexpected. He was always loyal and loving to his Bishop, and I desire to put on record this expression of my confidence and sincere regard. It is not possible that I should in these annual addresses com- memorate all the faithful men and women, who year by year Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 63 pass on to their rest, but some cases it would seem wrong to leave unnoted. During the past year, 1920, the Diocese suf- fered an all but irreparable loss in the death of the President of our Diocesan Women's Auxiliary, Mrs. Mary McBee Hoke, wife of the lion. Wm. Alex. Hoke. It was with some difficulty that she was persuaded to undertake so important aiul respon- sible a position. Her gentle and modest nature made her feel herself unequal to the task. But during her short service, of little more than Uvo years, she developed very remarkable in- fluence and efficiency in leading the women of the Diocese, especially in the devotional work of the Auxiliary. Probably she was but little conscious of how deeply she touched the hearts of those who came in contact with her. She was truly an inspiring and stimulating leader, and admirably qualified to appreciate the crisis in our Church and Auxiliary life, which concluded mth her brief term of office. First in the Pilgrimage of Prayer, and afterwards in the very vital part borne by the Woman's Auxiliary in the Xation-wide campaign, Mrs. Hoke quietly and unobstrusively, but strongly, and with a true in- stinct for aggressive leadership, drew to her side those best qualified for true service, and kept the women of the Diocese well in the lead, both in spiritual fervor and in national work, of the great movement which did so much for the Church and the Diocese in 1919 and 1920. She "fell upon the field," so to speak, having presided at a sectional meeting of the Auxiliary within twenty-four hours of her death. My ministrations during the year have been as follows: Jan. 1. The Feast of the Circumcision. In St. Luke's Church, Salisbury: Administered the Holy Communion.

This day and the following I attended the meeting of the House of Bishops in the Cathedral at St. Louis, Missouri. Nov. 1. I officiated at a funeral in Lincolnton, District of Ashe- ville. 16. This day and the two following I was in attendance on the Provincial Synod at its session in Louisville, Ky. It appears from the foregoing that during the year I officiated within the Diocese at 115 services; administered the Holy Com- nunion on 38 occasions; preached 36 times; made 42 addresses; advanced 2 deacons to the priesthood; baptized 1 adult and 3 in- fants; officiated at 1 marriage and 3 funerals; and confirmed 485 persons. Adding the sixty-three confirmations reported by Bishop Delany, makes the total number of confirmations for the year 548. Bishop Delany also ordained one of our colored deacons to the priesthood, making a total of ordinations 3. These ordinations sliould here be recorded with more detail, as follows : May 30th, being Trixity Sunday, in St. Luke's Church, Salisbury, I ordained to the priesthood the Rev. Jacob Frederick Burg. The candidate was presented by the Rev. Edwin A. Osborne, the sermon was preached by the Rev. Bertram E. Brown. There were present also, assisting in the service. Archdeacon Hardin, the Rev. Walter J. Smith, and the Rev. Mark H. Milne. All the said clergymen being Presbyters, united with me in the Imposition of Hands. December 19 being the Fourth Sunday in Advent, in Calvary Church, Tarboro, I ordained to the priesthood the Rev. Lee Lester Rose. The Candidate was presented by the Rev. Bertram E. Brown, the sermon was preached by the Rev. Donald H. Morse. The follow- ing clergy were also present, assisting in the services: the Rev. J. Reginald Mallett, and the Rev. Samuel W. Hale, Presbyters, and the Rev. J. Levi Martin, Deacon. All the Presbyters who were present united with me in the Imposition of Hands. The same day, December 19th, the Fourth Sunday in Adveiit. in St. Ambrose's Church, Raleigh, Bishop Delany advanced to the priesthood the Rev. Arthur Myron Cochran. The candidate was presented by the Rev. Walter J. Smith, the sermon was preached by the Rev. Julian C. Perry; the Rev. Jno. E. G. Small, the Rev. James E. King, and the Rev. Roger E. Bunn, Presbyters, were all taking part in the service. All the Presbyters united with Bishop Delany in the Imposition of Hands. This address covers only the year 1920, but it seems neces- sary, in giving the names of the clergy received, and of those Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 73 lost by death or removal, that I should bring the record up to the first of the month in which we meet, in order that the Con- vention may understand the present condition of the Diocese. Since my address to the last Convention we have lost : By death: 1. The Rev. Charles Henry Male, died September 16, 1920. By letters dismissory: 2. Rev. Frederick Diehl, to Northern Virginia, October 1, 1920. 3. Rev. Frederick Cousins, to Michigan, October 3, 1920. 4' Rev'. Vincent Charles Bonnlander, to New Jersey, October 20, 1920. 5. Rev. George Taylor Griffith, to Northern Indiana, November 10, 1920. 6. Rev. Basil M. Walton, to Asheville, February 1, 1921. 7. Rev. Clement Grenelle Bradley, to Washington, March 19, 1921. We have gained by Letters Dismissory : 1. Rev. Henry Chartignier Mazyck, from South Carolina, May 21, 1920. 2 Rev. Cortez Robert Cody, from Asheville, November 1, 1920. 3. Rev. Joseph Durant Cooper Wilson, from Asheville, November 1, 1920. 4. Rev. Boston McGee Lackey, from East Carolina, November 1, 1920. 5. Rev. Charles F. Westman, from Northern Indiana, February 7, 1921. 6. John Holland Crosby, from Asheville. Our net loss is therefore one and he is a clergyman who has not for nine years been a resident of the Diocese. The fields'^of labor of the clergy are the same as last year, except as given below: The Rev. Cortez R. Cody is in charge of St. Stephen's Church, Duke. . The Rev. Howard S. Hartzell has given up the work at Duke, and confines his labors to St. Paul's Church, Smithfield- and the mission of St. Gabriel's, Selma. The Rev. Joseph D. C. Wilson has taken up the work of the Rev. Simeon J. M. Brown, deceased, including Cooleemee, Cleveland, Woodleaf, and Ascension Church, Davie County. The Rev. Boston M. Lackey has succeeded the Rev.

In. considering the work of the Diocese at the present time, the outstanding feature of the situation, in whatever way we look at it, is the ^N'ation-wide Campaign. Certainly no move- Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 75 me.nt in the Cliureli ever grew out of a wider vision of our dutv and our opportunity. And in those Dioceses which m anv degree rose to their responsibility, no movement ever accom- plished so much, or came so near realizing its purpose or eifect- ing its design in so brief a period. That the movement, as projected bv those who were responsible for it, Avas practicable is demonstrated by the fact that in a number of Dioceses, and those bv no means the strongest either in money or m men, perfect ^success was attained, just as had been planned, by fol- lowing the methods recommended for our guidance. That the scheme, as proposed by its originators, was practical, and calcu- lated to produce amazing results for good, is proved by the experience of those Dioceses which carried the work through to success. Xot only have those Dioceses themselves been helped both spiritually and materially, but even by the very limited success which was attained throughout the Church at large the whole general work of the Church, domestic and foreign has been lifted out of a slough of despond and put upon a'new level of hope and efficiency. Had all the Dioceses responded lovally and generously to the leadership of those whom the Church put in charge of this great movement, and made a sincere effort to do what they were asked to do the predictions of its most enthusiastic advocates Avould have been abundantly fulfilled. But the stubborn fact confronts us, that, as a whole, the Church throughout the United States did not carry out the pro- posed scheme, and the nation-wide campaign, as nation-wide, failed. I am not saying this in idle retrospect, not in useless criticism I am calling attention to an actual situation, and a very serious question of duty arising out of the situation. In the Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, and :^orth Carolina Dioceses, as a whole, success was attained. This Diocese was given a quota of forty-two thousand dollars. It accepted that qicota, subscribed it, and paid it in full. For the current year, 1921, we are endeavoring to do the same, ^^ow this quota was based in part upon Diocesan Survey of the needs and oppor- tunities of Church work in the Dioceses, as well as upon the general work of the Church in Domestic and Foreign Missions, and in Central Administration. We anticipated certain help 76 Address of the Bishop in imjoortant enterprises in this Diocese from the general treasury into which our quota of fortv-two thousand dollars was paid. And our work in this Diocese has been to a certain extent crippled by the failure of the nation-wide campaign in so large a proportion of the Dioceses. That is the situation, and it may just as well be frankly stated and fairly faced. The ques- tion is, What shall we do under these circumstances ? I have tried to consider this question, not from a financial and selfish point of view, which is unquestionably its first and most obvious aspect, but from the point of view of our Chris- tian responsibility, as a question of spiritual economics rather than secular. Looking at the matter from a practical — i. e., a worldly and selfish — standpoint, we are disposed to say that as our quota was to include certain provisions for our diocesan work, and we find that, on account of the failure of other Dio- ceses, we are not receiving what we had a right to expect, we may retain part of this forty-two thousand dollars for our proper church work in the Diocese. I think, on purely legal and worldly principles, no one could deny our right to do this. That is the way in which the matter at first presented itself to the practical and legal side of my mind, so to speak. But in administering the affairs of this Diocese as your Bishop I have always endeavored to avoid the merely legal and secular view of our responsibilities. The Spirit of Christ must govern even our fiscal policy and measures. The nationwide campaign is, first of all, an appeal to the Christian Conscience to realize the obligation of the Gospel in its highest and most unselfish demand; to do our duty by the whole Body of Christ; to give as we are able into the treasury of God for the ivhole ivorJc of the Church. Eventually this abundance will flow back to us; but it is for the ivhole that we pray and that we give; not for our own part of the work. We have caught the vision. In some measure, but, after all, most inadequately, we have re- sponded to the call. Others have not yet seen it. The call came first to us. They have not yet fully heard it. It is impossible that such a great Avork, such an unprecedented appeal, should at once be fully appreciated by all. It must take time to arouse the whole Church to such a wide view and to such a large demand. As a matter of fact, we know that in most Dioceses Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 77 the clergy and people have not yet fully appreciated the situation. Xow, what shall those Dioceses do who have been so blessed as to have been able to unite their people in support of this great enterprise? Shall they stand together in unfal- tering faith and courage until all the forces of the Church can be rallied and brought up to the same advanced position? Or shall they falter and fall back, and lose what they have already won for themselves as Avell as for the Church at large? I think there can be but one reply to this question when we have rightly appreciated its true significance. In what we have already gained from the Xation-wide Campaign in our own Diocese we have j^rofited incalculably. It has vastly more than justified itself in our own experience if we should never receive a penny for those enterprises for which we anticipated assist- ance. If all the Church is to be aroused to the great work, it must be by the unselfish, self-sacrificing example of those Dio- ceses in which the movement really began, and in which it has attained its primary goal. We must not relax our efforts, or suffer our interest in our local enterprises to divert our energies or our offerings from the building up of a common sentiment in support of the common cause throughout the Church. We are gaining immensely every year in our diocesan work. Let us hold up the hands of those who are endeavoring to unite the whole Church in continued effort to attain the fulfillment of the noble purposes with which this great movement was under- taken. In this same connection the Convention must consider the question of the proposed reorganization of the Diocese, by committing the whole administration of Diocesan affairs to the Bishop and an Executive Council. A committee will report on the subject, and I ask your careful consideration of the report, especially in its financial aspect. If the necessary expense can be provided for, the plan seems to have some advantages. One thing only, in this connection, I must very earnestly press upon the Convention : Whatever action may be taken, I trust that the present administration of our diocesan missions by the Convocations, each under its Archdeacon, may not be in any way altered. Whether the Convocation and Archdeacon shall be immediately responsible to the Bishop and the Convention, 78 Address of the Bishop as at present, or to the Bishop and an Executive Council, as is proposed, I do not believe to be a matter of very special import- ance. I do think, however, that anv alteration in a method which has worked so well as our present Diocesan Missionary or- ganization is very greatly to be deprecated. The Archdeacons, each with his Convocation behind him, not only very greatly re- lieve the Bishop in the administration of our diocesan mission- ary work, but in this way a degree of constant oversight, direction and assistance is secured to the missionary clergy and to the vacant missions and parishes that otherwise would be im- possible. The archdeacons have also been of invaluable assist- ance to the Bishop in rendering effective every enterprise and policy connected with the interests and obligations of the Dio- cese. They are not only the eyes of the Bishop in all matters of practical work, but his feet and hands likewise in going and in doing in all parts of the field, and in serving all local necessities. The Bishop takes this occasion to express his very high appreciation of their faithful and effective services, not only to the Diocese, but to himself personally and officially, and his gratitude for all they have done and are doing to lighten the burden of his work and of his responsibilities. There is one subject upon which I must touch, however in- adequately. The Lambeth Conference of 1920 opens up so large a field for thought, and presents so many topics of in- terest and importance, that I hesitate to mention it, though I feel that it cannot be wholly omitted. The kindness and generosity of friends in the Diocese, and most of them members of this Convention, put it in my power to attend this great meeting of our Bishops from all parts of the world, and to continue my stay for several weeks after its close. This was a privilege which I very greatly appreciated; and I am quite sure that I not only enjoyed the Conference and other experi- ences of the trip, but that I was materially strengthened and refreshed by it, as was also Mrs. Cheshire, who accompanied me. I hereby make very grateful acknowledgment to the friends whose kindness enabled us to enjoy this privilege and relaxation. Of the Conference and its work I have spoken in many churches of the Diocese, and I sent copies of its reports and resolutions to many of our clergymen and laymen. This was Diocese of ]^orth Carolixa, 1921 79 the third of these great gatherings which I have attended. They have all been interesting. They give a measure of unity and effectiveness to our work throughout the world, and exert a harmonizing and unifying force, as well as a stimulating in- fluence, whose value is perhaps greater than one realizes. But among them all the Conference of 1920, the sixth which has been held, stand preeminent in the number of Bishops in at- tendance, the importance of the questions considered, and in the momentous and uplifting character of its discussions and de- terminations. In particular the consideration of the subjects of "Christianity and International Relations," and of "Chris- tian Unity," made one feel that to be a part, even a very inconsiderable part, of such a Conference was a privilege to be remembered among the great things of life. The closing session, in the consideration of the Report and Resolutions on Christian Unity, was one of the most solemn and inspiring experiences I have ever kno^m. Seldom are such speeches heard as those of the Bishop of Zanzibar and the Archbishop of York on that day. The conclusions reached by the Conference, set forth in the published "Reports and Resolutions," and summed up in the noble Pastoral Letter, are known to many of- you. They have commanded universal attention and a large measure of approval in all quarters. In the proposals put forth for an approach to Christian unity it is generally conceded that the Conference has made a real step forward. In my own judgment, Christian unity will never be effected by human arrangements and con- trivances. When we are fit for it God will bring it about in His own way. But certainly we must strive for it and pray for it. And, looking back to the beginning of this present move- ment and discussion, begun when our General Convention in 1886 put forth the famous "Quadrilateral," I can see a great change in the feeling of Christian, people generally upon the subject of Christian unity. There is a common recognition of its importance, even of its necessity, such as we had little evidence of before the year 1886. All the utterances of the Conference were striking and weighty, and, on the whole, deserving of our gravest considera- tion. I could not, however, help feeling at times that many of 80 Address of the Bishop the speakers, influenced by the novel and very critical social conditions prevailing in almost all parts of the Christian world, were in danger of being carried away from their own principles and convictions by their eagerness in trying to adjust them- selves to the new situation. Many things were said in debate clean contrary to what I believe to be the true principles of Christian polity; and some of the reports and resolutions seem infected with the same eager spirit of accepting new views without always a proper consideration of our true principles. And with this possibility of error, from which none are wholly free, it is reassuring to remember that no National Church is bound by the action of the Conference, however greatly we may value the greatness of its work. The Lambeth Conference of 1920 will go down in history as the greatest of those notable gatherings up to the present time. So far I have said nothing of our various branches of im- portant diocesan work, yet I must not trespass longer upon your time. During the greater number of years since I first addressed you as your Bishop, I have felt obliged to devote much of my annual addresses to our institutions — St. Mary's School, the Thompson Orphanage, our Diocesan Missions, and other like works. These are still with us, and we must continue to devote our prayers and our efforts to these practical church activities. The reason I have not spoken more of them is be- cause we have found that all those particular obligations are included in the all-embracing work of the !N"ation-wide Cam- paign. That Campaign, whatever its faults, defects or failures, was a direct appeal to the Christian conscience to rise up to the claims of Christ our Lord upon our whole life; and in this Diocese it has certainly sent new currents of love and devotion through the whole body, and has thereby quickened every activ- ity, and given new force to every purpose throughout our dio- cesan life. I believe there is not a parish or a mission which has not felt some fresh breathing of the Spirit and found new devotion awakened among some at least of its members. Our lay people are more active, more devoted, and more liberal; our clergy are better sustained in their work by the sympathy and cooperation, as well as by the generous liberality of their people; our Orphanage, our schools, and our hospitals, all in Diocese of Xorth Carolina, 1921 81 their measure share in the benefits. And I believe that we have felt this blessing here at home in our own Diocese because we have given and prayed as never before for God's Church and God's people beyond our own borders.

APPENDIX B SECTION 2— SPECIAL REPORTS REPORT OF THE DEAF-MUTE MISSION IN THE DIOCESE OF NORTH CAROLINA. To the Rt, Rev. Joseph Blouxt Cheshike, D.D., Bishop of North Carolina : R I respectfully submit the following as a report of my official work covering the period from May 4, 1920, to May 10, 1921. Sermons and addreses 87. Baptisms, Infant, 3. Candidates presented for Confirmation, 2. Marriages, 2. Burials, 3. Offerings, $63.75. Expenses, $28.74. Balance on hand, $35.01. During the period mentioned above I officiated in the following places: Durham, Raleigh, Burlington, Greensboro, Kannapolis, Winston-Salem, Concord, Charlotte, Selma, Kenley, Princeton, at the Deaf and Dumb School for colored people in Raleigh, and at the Deaf and Dumb School at Morganton. Outside St. Philip's Parish, Durham, I have preached to 392 deaf people, and otherwise ministered to them as I had opportunity. At home, our average congregations on Sunday are about 40 deaf people and their children. Multiplying this by 52 Sundays, it would mean that we have had congregations aggregating more than two thousand people. The deaf people welcome the opportunity and privilege of hearing the Gospel preached in their own language, and we feel encouraged by the outlook. On behalf of the deaf people in the Diocese of North Carolina we want to thank our Bishop, the Clergy, and all the laymen and laywomen for their interest, sympathy, and help in this our work. Respectfully submitted, Roma C. Fortune, Minister to the Deaf in the Diocese of North Carolina. Diocese of jSTorth Carolina, 1921 125 REPORT OF THE RT. REV.

Father in God, Brethren of the Clergy and Laity: I am especially grateful to God for health and strength to face the duties which lie before me. as well as for the surprising evi- dences of sympathy and approval which have followed me in my itinerancy through the states embracing the Dioceses of North Carolina, South Carolina, East Carolina and the Missionary District of Asheville. I have made repeated visitations both within and without the Dioceses in which' the Colored Work is committed to my care; and notwithstanding the difficulties under which we have been forced to carry on the Work of the Convocation, the results, thus far, have exceeded our expectations.

The Works of the Archdeaconry, with few exceptions, are healthy and hopeful; and our hopes for the future of the less fortunate w^orks are quickened by the zeal, the qualications and the character of our three candidates for Holy Orders. I believe our missionaries to be working as earnestly as ever, though under adverse circumstances, to promote the work now under their charge. St. James, Pittsboro, since June, 1919, has been served by the Rev. A. Myron Cochran, Priest in charge of St. Ambrose Church, Raleigh. Holy Cross, Statesville, and St. Philip's, Salisbury, are being served, acceptably, by Prof. William B. Crittenden, one of our candidates for Holy Orders. Feb. 29th, the second Sunday in Lent, at 11 a. m., in the Church of the Redeemer, Greensboro, at the instance of the Bishop of the Diocese, I ordained to the Diaconite for the Bishop of Connecticut, Claudius Augustus Nero. The candidate was presented by the Rev. James E. King, and the sermon preached by the Rev. Joseph H. Hudson. The Rev. Messrs. Small and Bunn assisted in the service. Dec. 19th, the fourth Sunday in Advent at 11 a. m., in St. Ambrose Church, Raleigh, at the instance of the Bishop of the Diocese, I advanced to the Priesthood the Rev. A. Myron Cochran. The candidate was presented by the Rev. Walter J. Smith; the Rev. Julian Clyde Perry preached the sermon and the Rev. Messrs. Bunn, Small, and King assisted in the service and all the clergy present united in the Imposition of Hands. I am greatly encouraged at the prospect of renewing what was formally known to us as the St. Augustine's Conference. Ye:irs ago we planned our conference after the St. Mary's Conference; but were forced to give up the project for lack of funds to meet its obligations. We are now ex- tending invitations to a few friends in the Province of Sewanee to join with us in the reorganization of the St. Augustine's Conference during the first week in June at the time of the meeting, of the St. Mary's Conference and we rejoice in the information that the teachers and lecturers of the one will be the helpers and promoters of the other. On June the 20th, I instituted the Rev. Roger E. Bunn to the Rectorate of St. Mark's Church, Wilson. 9 130 Report of Bishop Suffragax From Oct. the 19tli to the 22nd I attended the Sessions of the First Provincial Conference which convened in Calvary Church, Charleston, and from there visited Florida where I officiated in the Church of the Good Shepherd, Fernandina, and in St. Philip's Church, Jacksonville, on the Twenty-first Sunday after Trinity. The meeting of our Colored Convocation in St, Titus Church, Durham, was interesting and well attended. The Convocation greatly appreciated the assistance and service given it by a friend. After a brief illness, the Rev. Charles Henry Male entered into life Eternal on the morning of September the 16th. He was born on the Island of St. Kitts, British West Indies. He served his generation well and won the love and respect of all who knew him. On October the 31st I attended the Council of East Carolina at Roper, X. C, On the 14th of November I preached the sermon at the Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of St. Philip's Church, New York; and on the next day, left for Louisville, Ky., where I attended the sessions of the Province of Sewanee in Christ Churcli Cathedral. I have already informed you of the Convocation's troubles. They are chiefly financial and I am glad they are; for when understood, I am quite sure that they will be readily re- moved. The workers of the Colored Convocation are indeed a patient set of men and women; but they have been kept a little too long on pittances for salaries: for no man in these strenuous times through which we are passing can support a family, pay house rent and live as a clergyman of the Church should live, on less than $75 per month and yet there are few, if any. of our men who are allowed that much. Our teachers of the Parochial Schools on whom so much depends are paid considerably les than most household servants. If we could only understand the services they render to the church and the community these conditions would not be allowed to stand; but we do not. The result is apparent. Unless conditions are made better, our schools must close: one has already done so. Our clergy will leave for other fields where they are offered living salaries. Two of them have informed me in this month that they are forced to do so, not from choice, but because of necessities. There are other things of even greater concern than salaries that now trouble the Convocation; and the clergy is working with me as one man to aid in lifting the burdens that at this time press so heavily upon us all. Our peace has for some time been disturbed by the inroads which vice and criminality are making as they pass with little or no restraint through the land. In the light of Christian training which you have unselfishly bestowed, do we plead for a place in the forefront of the Church's Battle Line: not alone that we might war with you against the incoming tide of evils, which daily shock our sensibilities; but that we might fight them for you. We believe that the united voice of the church has been silent too long, or too feebly raised i-gainsL Diocese of xS'orth Carolixa, 1921 131 impending evils. The State of Georgia, God bless her, has said as never before that righteousness and justice must supplant vice and crime, and after all this is but emphasizing the edict of the LfOwly Nazarine. If the State of Georgia has cast the challenge the Church through the voice of her Bishop has certainly accepted it, and pledged their support of his position as outlined, even re- questing that it be read from every pulpit. Appended to this report is the report of the Treasurer of the Convocation which has been approved by the Executive Committee of the Convocation.

Rev. Joseph B. Cheshire, D.D. Rev. Father in God: From January 1st, 1920 to January 1st, 1921, I made 107 visits to points within the Convocation; held, in part or whole, 103 services, travelled 9,364 miles, had six baptisms, presented four persons for confirmation, had one marriage and three funerals. I attended two conferences of the Inter-Church World Movement, a meeting of the Southern Socialogical Congress meeting in Washington, D. C, and the Provincial Synod meeting in Louisville, Ky. My expenses for the year were $453.68. Offerings at services held by me amounted to $150.00 up to Oct. 1st, 1920. From that date on my offerings were applied to special purposes and are reported in my Archdeacon's Fund. I have in hand the following funds: $401.00 for Chapel at Wendell, $11.88 for Font at Wendell. For the Archdeacon's Fund I have received from all sources $644.30, and have disbursed $586.84. At the meeting of Convocation in Tarboro a committee of three persons was named to co-operate with the Bishop and Arch- deacon in the matter of building Chapels at strategic points within the Convocation. This committee is seeking to enroll three thousand members throughout the Convocation, at a minimum membership fee of one dollar per call, not more than two calls to be made in any one year. There are several points where we ought to begin the erection of Chapels such as Dunn, Nashville, Wendell, and Roxboro. During the past year . three new men have come into the Convocation. 'ihe Rev. Cortez R. Cody is now in charge of the important work at Duke, and is opening up new work at Dunn. His ability and enthusiasm are already showing results, and the prospects aie most encouraging. Rev. John R. Crosby has accepted a call to the Towncsville field, which is our most important country work. I have received fine reports of his labors. Rev. Boston M. Lackey has come to Raleigh as ascistant to the Rev. Milton A. Barber, and by an arrangement with Mr. Barber Mr. Lackey gives one fourth of his time to work under the direction of the Archdeacon. The Archdeacon is able to report that for the first time in many years every field in the Convocation is occupied, and the Archdeacon is now giving his time to the smaller places Diocese of I^orth Carolina, 1921 133 and to the isolated communicants of the Church. At Tillery we have resumed services with good congregations. At Elm City we have again started services, and have done considerable re- pairing on the Church building. I have also begun having services at Roxboro, where we have had about ten communicants. We worship in the Presbyterian Church, and we have most kindly received by the community. Comparison of the 1919 and 1920 budgets affords cause for gratification, and is sufficient comment on the Nation-Wide Cam- paign In 1919 our appropriations were $4414.12. Our estimated income from parishes and missions was $2,967.00. The balance of $1447 12 to be raised through the Woman's Auxiliary and the Archdeacon's offerings. For the present year we have appropria- tions amounting to $12,292.12. To cover this we have a pledged income of $11,646.00. There are two items in the budget amount- ing to $900.00 upon which no demand will be made; so that our appropriations are fully covered and the Archdeacon's offerings go to special objects. Signed N. C. Duncan REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE The Committee has carried on the work vigorously. The finan- cial condition has been good, and all but one of the fields filled, until recently. The stipends have been paid promptly and the treasurer reports a balance in the treasury. The Archdeacon has been enabled to give a closer attention to the mission fields as he has been required to fill fewer vacanies than heretofore. A building committee* has been appointed to look after the building of chapels at the mission stations and par- ticularly at Wendell, Wake County, where the outlook is bright. The Missionary preaching throughout the Convocation by Rev. John Hartley, D. D., was successfully carried on, and it is hoped that the same will become a permanent order of work. The budget hereto appended was submitted to and adopted by the Convocation in meeting at Tarboro. Respectfully submitted, Wm. H.

To the Rt. Rev. Jos. Blount Cheshire, D.D., Bishop of North Carolina. I respectfully submit my report as Archdeacon of the Con- vocation of Charlotte for the year ending December 31st, 1920: Services conducted in whole or part 126 Celebrations of the Holy Communion 65 Sermons and addresses 118 Baptisms : Infant 19 Candidates presented for Confirmation 22 Marriages 4 Burials 8 Tracts, etc., distributed 350 Pastoral visits 830 Conference with committees and vestries 5 The year 1920 marked a tremendous advance in the work of the Charlotte Convocation. Never before have we had such abundant cause for encouragement since the adoption of our Convocational system. This home about in a large measure through the operation of the Nation-Wide Campaign, and is being evidenced by the following results: 1. Unprecedented offerings of personal service. 2. Increase in Sunday School and Church attendance. 3. A greater desire on the part of our people to inform them- selves as to the needs and opportunities of the whole Church. 4. Increased contributions for the extension of the Kingdom of God, both at home and abroad. Our appropriations for the year, which were at least four times in excess of any previous year, were fully and promptly paid, with a small balance to carry forward. While our local treasurers were not able in every instance to meet their full apportionment, yet in many cases payment was made in full, and some overpaid. Beginning January 1st, the salaries of our missionary clergy, which in times past have been shamefully inadequate, were placed at a minimum of $1,500 per annum, and when possible a rectory is provided. On June 1st, the Rev. Harry C. Mazyck, formerly of Eutawville, S. C, took charge of the Mayodan group of Missions, and is doing excellent work. On November 1st, the Rev. Jos. D. C. Wilson, formerly of Wilkesboro in the Missionary Jurisdiction of Asheville, assumed charge of the Cooleemee group of Missions in succession to the late lamented Simeon J. M. Brown. Mr. Wilson has entered upon Diocese of j^orth Carolina, 1921 137 the discharge of his duties with zeal and enthusiasm, and the work in that very important field is going steadily forward under his wise and efficient leadership. At present Ave have only two unsupplied Missions in the Convocation: St. David's, Laurinburg, and All Soul's, Ansonville; however the Archdeacon is ministering to these congregations as often as circumstances will permit. During the summer and fall, acting under the instructions of the Executive Committee, the Murdoch Mem'l Mission House in Salisbury, which is being used as a residence for the Archdeacon, underwent some much needed repairs, thus putting it in a more habitable and presentable condition. A very comfortable home has also been purchased in Statesville for the minister-in-charge of Statesville and St. James', Iredell Co. At present all our Churches and Chapels are in good repair, and fully protected from loss or damage by fire. William H. Hardtn, Archdeacon. 138 Report of Archdeacoxs REPORT OF WILLIAM H.

APPENDIX D PART 1 TREASURER'S REPORT FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 1920 APPENDIX D PART I REPORT OF TREASURER NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN FUND January 1, 1920, to December 31, 1920, Your Treasurer respectfully submits liis report for the fiscal year ending December 31st, 1920, as per attached copies under the follow- ing headings: Item 1: Summary of receipts and disbursements of all funds for 1920, as per certified copy of auditors attached. The audit of the Treasurer's books was made up to April 1st, 1921, and included 07ihj receipts for 1920 to April 1st, 1921. Item 2: Receipts from Parish and Sunday School treasurers. Women's Auxiliary and miscellaneous sources — divided for the five objects of the Nation-wide Campaign, as apportioned by your Diocesan Committee, with the total amount apportioned against each church and the total amounts paid for 1920, with the division of these amounts for each one of the Nation-wide Campaign objects. Also specials — not applying to the Nation- wide Campaign apportionment — for various other objects which have been handled by your treasurer. In submitting the attached reports, your Treasurer desires to offer the following: On being elected Treasurer by the Diocesan Convention held in Charlotte, May 4th to 6th, 1920, the former Treasurer, after due audit of his books, turned over the books and cash balances and I assumed the Treasurership May 15th, 1920. As requested by the action of the Convention, your Treasurer, with able assistance of our Executive Secretary, Rev. Jno. L. Jackson, worked out the apportionments on the percentage basis for each church for each of the Nation-wide Campaign objects. All funds received and reported at the Diocesan Convention, by the former Treasurer, were re-divided, both receipts and dis- bursements, and are included in the attached report, together with all receipts by the present Treasurer. Diocese of Xorth Carolixa, 1921 143 The statements sent out monthly have had remarkable success, as your Treasurer finds that the majority of parish treasurers remit promptly and as per amounts given in the statement. We have discarded the haphazard way of remitting and are now putting our Diocese on a business footing. •The most gratifying result shown was that our Diocese on Decem- ber 31st, 1920, had paid 99i47r of its quota to General Missions and before February 1st, 1921, had paid 1007c and over, and was, therefore, one of the eight Dioceses reported on March 31st, 1921, by the General Board of Missions in the 100% class — being sixth in point of percentage. The Fourth Province lead all of the eight Provinces in per- centage of payment of their quotas with 65%, and of its fourteen Dioceses, North Carolina led the Province with its 100+%- The Diocese had also met all of the needs for the other four objects depending upon the Nation-wMde Campaign. The statement shows a balance on hand of $841.90, being divided in amounts apportioned as follows: Religious Education and Social Service $818.09 Expense account 23.81 Your Treasurer would, therefore, ask the disposition of the Convention as to these amounts. Your Treasurer would further suggest a simpler method in dividing the apportionments, as the present method entails an ex- cessive amount of bookkeeping and waste of time, and some method should be devised which w^ould save this unnecessary work. It would vary the percentage allotments to each object of the Nation- wide Campaign so little that none would feel material change in the method. Your Treasurer would, therefore, suggest that this matter be placed in the hands of the Finance Committee of the Nation-wide Campaign Fund, or of a special committee to be appointed by the Convention with power to act, so that the 1922 funds may be divided and handled in a simpler and more business-like way. In conclusion, your Treasurer wishes to express his appreciation for the courtesy and hearty co-operation given by each and every Parish Treasurer and others with whom necessity has brought him in contact, and to further say that it has been a great pleasure to have served his Church and his Diocese. Respectfully submitted, J. Rexwick Wilkes, Treasurer Xatiofi-icide Camimign Fund 144 Treasurer's Report for Fiscal Year 1920 AIDITOR'S EEPORT As per your request, we have audited the books of the Nation- wide Campaign Fund, Diocese of North Carolina, for the period January 1st, 1920, to March 31st, 1921, covering all funds applying to the 1920 fiscal year. We have verified all cash transactions, tracing receipts into the bank and checking disbursements with the cancelled vouchers. The apportionments made for the year 1920 amounted to.$ 83,915.00 Paid for various objects 84,318.50 Balance overpaid 174.00 Where a number of churches overpaid their appor- tionments on some of the objects, they were under- paid on the others. Besides the above amount paid on apportionments, there was received for "Special" objects $ 3,007.14 The apportionment for the colored churches on General Missions was $ 1,219.00 Total amount paid 2,272.40 Balance overpaid $ 1,053.40 We wish to take this opportunity to thank you for the assistance rendered while making the audit.

Erwin, of West Durham, in the sum of $30,000.00 to "the Provident Life and Trust Co. of Philadelphia (Trustee), the proceeds of which are to be paid quarterl}' each year to the treasurer of the Diocese to be remitted by him, under the Bishop's direction, to the treasurers of the missions of St. Joseph, West Durham, 3-5; St. Stephen, Duke, 1-5, and Good Shep- herd, C'ooleemce, 1-5 parts. The proceeds remitted and distributed as above for 1920 amounted to SI, 318. 19. The funds were so well invested by the trustee that the treasurer is advised that in 1921 and hereafter the annual proceeds will amount to $1,862. It is hoped that this generous gift on the part of Mr. Erwin will prompt other liberal and zealous laymen to do likewise. I do hereby certify that I have audited the books and vouchers of Henry M. London, Treasurer of the Diocese of North Carolina, for the period beginning January 1, 1920, and ending December 31, 1920, and the foregoing statement is a true exhibit of the operations of that period as shown by said books and vouchers. The books are neatly and accurately kept and everything is handled systematically. March 21, 1921. Walter Woollcott, Public Accountant.
