FOREWORD
THIS program is the culmination of the first attempt
in America to hold three Methodist Episcopal Con-
ferences at the same time and place. No amount
of effort has been spared to make this event memorable.
The Conference Program Committees of the West Ohio,
the Ohio, and the North-East Ohio Conferences, the Presi-
dent of Ohio Wesleyan University, the three district super-
intendents and four entertaining pastors have been organized
into one committee with Bishop Theodore S. Henderson,
resident Bishop, as Chairman. The program presented
herewith is the work of that committee.
The invitation of the trustees of Ohio Wesleyan to the three
conferences to hold their sessions in Delaware was first
approved by Bishop Henderson who in turn presented the
matter to the Area Council with recommendations that the
invitation be accepted. The Chamber of Commerce, and
all churches of Delaware united unanimously in supporting
the invitation to the Annual Conferences in September 1926.
As a result of this action, the city of Delaware has been
organized into one General Entertainment Committee with
the President of the Chamber of Commerce as its Chairman.
There are eight sub-committees. Through this central
organization plans have been formulated for the entertain-
ment of the three Annual Conferences, the Laymen's Asso-
ciations, the Junior Laymen's Associations and the Women's
Organizations.
It is the sincere desire of all who have had a share in the
arrangements thus far, to make this the first Tri-Conference
session of the Methodist Episcopal Churches of Ohio a
success.
Karl P. Meister
Secretary and Treasurer of the Program and
General Entertainment Committees.

DELAWARE AND METHODISM
By PROF. ROLLIN H. WALKER
It is a great thing for a church when it begins to have shrines that
symbolize the faith and heroism of the fathers. Delaware is such a
shrine.
When a committee of preachers was sent from the Ohio Confer-
ence sitting at Urbana, to decide whether Delaware would be a good
place to start a college, like Caleb and Joshua of old they came
back with a favorable report. But when they came to pay for the
livery rig which they had used it was found that only one among
them had money enough to meet it. Their poverty did not daunt
them, however, and they persuaded the Conference, whose members
were as poor as themselves, to embark in the adventure.
The building in which the school was started is the frame struc-
ture immediately behind the college library. Here for fifty years
William G. Williams taught Greek, and here until the erection of
Merrick Hall, L. D. McCabe with Celtic fire and daring taught
philosophy.
At 294 North Sandusky Street one sees the home of Edward
Thomson, the first president of the university, and afterward Bishop
of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He was a descendant of the
poet Thomson who wrote "The Seasons". Around his name many
traditions gathered, for he strangely gripped the imagination of the
students.
At 57 Oak Hill Avenue is the home of President Frederick
Merrick, where he wore out the carpet by his bedside praying for
the Ohio Wesleyan University. He was a New England Presby-
terian Puritan touched with the old-fashioned Methodist fire, and
the combination of granite and heat made an extraordinary character.
The central building on campus is Gray Chapel, the money
for which was for the most part raised by President James W.

Bashford, in small sums and with great difficulty, before the days
when people became accustomed to giving liberally to education.
One evening in the gloaming President Bashford, pointing to its
beautiful tower, said to a professor, "Every stone in that building
represents a prayer." The chapel auditorium was the scene of the
marvelous evangelistic meetings among the students that Bashford
in his simple and unforced fashion was accustomed to conduct. And
here also he gave the great monthly lectures that are outstanding
memories among the old students.
As an illustration of the love in which the college has been held
by its children may be mentioned the portrait of Browning, by
Moscheles, which hangs in the library reading room. Dr. Frank
W. Gunsaulus saw it in Europe, and was told by one who knew
Browning that he deemed it the best portrait of the poet in existence.
For what price could it be purchased? asked Gunsaulus. The answer
was, "A thousand dollars." "Pack it up," said he, "and ship it to
the Ohio Wesleyan University, at Delaware." And after that he
went out and earned the money to pay for it by lecturing.
Gunsaulus' own wonderful portrait, by Nyholm, the Swedish artist,
hangs near it in the reading room.
The old church which stood on the site of the present William
Street Church is the place where the two college friends, Gunsaulus
and Bishop McDowell, felt so profoundly the grip of the evangelistic
appeal.
The Methodist Conferences of Ohio elect the majority of the trus-
tees of the Ohio Wesleyan University, and hence can determine its
policy. The college is a sacred trust that has been handed down to
them by the great men of the past.
Of national interest to lovers of temperance is the fact that in
the old William Street Church was first organized the Women's
Christian Temperance Union, a society that, under God, has been
one of the most powerful influences in driving out the legalized saloon.
