Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 3 of Tri-Conference Program] 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. 3 Title A name given to the resource Tri-Conference Program (p. 5) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/d2496a08261b813815b9cd26d0340a26.jpg 91cdf2d3e1116e1a592f05c812f84c96 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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. 5 Title A name given to the resource Tri-Conference Program (p. 7) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/162af8b3ccf7ef949d2d67dadc1eba6c.jpg 18bb27eb4654031de5e84214dce19696 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Description An account of the resource [corresponds to page 6 of Tri-Conference Program] 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. 6 Title A name given to the resource Tri-Conference Program (p. 8) http://66.213.124.233/files/original/49ca3dccd4a4c04a47d0b52e8b692fc3.jpg d081b4faf76b34ac3ddd473372dcd487 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
