MEMOIR-W. G. RoYS'l'ER. 7

MEMOIR.

WALJ,ACE GARDNER RoYS'l'ER was born May 15th, 1854, and was admitted on trial into the Florida Annual Conference, .January 11th, 187!). A.it.er serving Enterprise mission one year, and' Duval mission nearly two year~, he finished his course with joy ou the 5th of September 1881 at Camp :lvloony, Duval County Florida. Near the end of his first year on Duval mission he was married to Miss Louisa Gardner.

Brother RoYS'L'FJI\ sprang from Methodist ancestry; his fatber7 grandfather and two uncles were members of the Florida Conference. He was bom in a Methodist home and reared by_parents whose daily lives were beautified by ardC'nt and consistent piety. Ilis spirit was gentle and tende1·, his attach-ments strong and lasting, his manners modest and genial. While the softer virtues seemed to rredominate in his character he did not lack strength of will and te1111city o pnrpose. He was fully committed to the work of the ministry, but while he was completely consecrated to the Master's service, he was keenly sensible of the need of mental preparation for tlJO.t difficult and rc~pousible work. He began his itiner11nt life by fervently resolving to im-prove to the utmost nil his opportunities for acquiriul? knowledge. By us close npplicntion to study as circurnst!mces would pern11t, nnd by a. judicious selection of books, his mind W!IR rapidly enlarged o.ud enriched. His profit wns appilreni to al l, his improvement was especially manifested in his sc1·-mons which were marked by knowledge of doctrine1 thoroughness of treat· rnrut, orderly arrangement, vigor of thought, simplicity and clearness of style and great rropricty in the use of language. HlR manner in the pulpit was seriouK am on.mest, impressin~ his hea1·ers with bis honesty and sincerity. The truths he p1·oclaimed in the pulpit were the principles ih11t reguln.ted his daily deportment. Ile e1\joyed the religion he recommended to others.

Brnthcr Hovs1·En had the misfortune to lose his horse while he was serving Duval .Mission, 1\11d having no money to buy another, he had either lo 11b1w-don the field or trav l the mission on foot. His frame was not strong nor his health vigorous, but actuated by a high sense of duty, and urged by a strong desire to Have souls, our noble young brother resolved to remain and do his best without a horse.

With aching limbs nnd wenry feet he toiled on, under the burning sun and in the face of the wintry blast, on the sandy road and through t.he swnmp, wet by the rain from heaven 1md by the deep waters he was forced to wadu. Inspired by a sublime heroism, he went from 11pf ointment to appoiut-ment proclaiming the glorious gospel of the grace o ' God. "I have often seen him," writes brother Moore in his obituary, "wet up to his knees from wading, and sometimes when the water was deep, he would strip himself for the better wading of creclrn or swamps."

Th1Lnk God for such au instance of heroic self-sacrifice, lofty courage and grand endurance.

Brother H.oyster'e body was unequal to the demands of the ardent spirit. 'rhe tabernacle was shaken and shatrercd. Disease fastened upon him, and he was laid aside to suffer and to die. His submission to the Divine will was as meek as his obodiPnce ht1d been inHto.nt and hearty. The gr11ce that had inspired and sustained him under his labors and exposure was mugnificd during the weary days and nights of 1irotracted sufforing, for he was enabled to rejoice in tribulation also. As his bodily strength decayed und he drew nearer the heavenly land, the spirit asserted the mastery, and the fine tmits that composed his character grew more and more lovely. When he coo.sod lo suffer be passed through the gates into the City of the Great Kin,e;.

ln the absence of the President of tho Conference Society, Mrs. C. A. Fulwood I... the meeting was opened by Mrs. Juliana Hayes, President of th e Gcnerttl J~xecutivc Association. ·

The thirty-fifth chapter of Exodus w:1 s read; and the hymn, "A Charµ:P to Keep I Ilave" sung by the congregation, after which the H.ev. R. R. Bnrnett led in prayer.

On motion, Mrs. T. Irartridge Wl•S elected President 1n·o tem.' and Mi HK B. W. I'artl'idge, Recording Secretary pro tem.

The roll being called, the following officers and delegates responded to their names : Mrs. T. Hartt'idge, Treasurer; llfiss L. Tucker, Correspond-ing Secretary. Dele~ates: Mrs. E. E. Bowers, Mount Pleasant: Mrs. S. ~mith, Micanopy and Citra.

The followin g 1\..nxilittry Societ,ies wc1•e represented by their respective paslors: Apopka City-Rev. R. H. Barnett; Gainesville-Rev. J. B. John-ston.

The reports of the President, Mrs. C. A. Fnlwood, and of the Correspond· ing Seer tiwy, Miss L. Tucker, weTe read, afrer whi ch a short address was made hy Mrs. Ilaycq, consisting of a review of the work done by the W o-mnn's Missionary Society, nnd words of encouragement and counsel given to the members of the Auxiliary Societies present.

'l'o the 1Vornan' s llfissionwry Society of the Florida Conference, M. E. Chwl'ch Smtth :

OF:ilR S1s•rFJR.s-I deeply regret my inablility to he present and pa1·ti cipate with you in the deliberations and ilevotions connected with the first annual meeting of our Conference Society.

Although Providcnti11lly absent in lJOdy, I beg you to believe "I am with you in spirit."

l have, in common with the other officers of the Society, been somewhnt at a loHs to determine with accuracy the precise d?ities of each, and hence, I foci a little embarrassed in attempting to indite this brief commnniontion.

We have ab11ndm1t rer1son for both gratitude and regret. Gratitude in consideration of tho grace and good providcnee of God, which drew us to· gether und enabled us to form our Conference Society, autl which has crown-ed our feeble efforts with some huml2le measure of s11ccess. Gra;tit1tde in remembcmnce of the spiritual blessings that have been vouchsafed to m1 personally, as we hnve become better informed in relation to the moral wants and woes of the world, and particularly our own sex in foreign hinds, nnd huvc boon caused to realize more fully than ever boforo that it is our blessed dut.y and hi~h privilege to be in actual, conscious co-operation with those who carry ' the banner of the Cross'' in the fore-front of tile battle fo1· the world's enlightcmmont and snlvation.

I

24 APPENDIX.

Gratiflude that in our own appropriate sphere (and we would not enlarge that sphere, OL' step beyond it if we could) we are enabled to work, in a tangible way, for the immediate benefit of our sex; we can contribute of our means, and accompany those contributions with our sympathies and prayers, and thus have the unutterably precious comfort of knowing that we are doing something, however little, towards the up-lifting of heathen womanhood from that deep, dark degradation to which ignorance, sin ancl superstition have consigned her, and though the aggregate of our yearly offerings to this great cause may appear, when contrasted with the contributions flowing into the treasury from other older and stronger societies, to be very small, yet our joy und peace will be nmilloycd if we have the heart assurance that we have striven to clothe best we could.

And again, r1ratit1tclc in vie1v of the fact that, notwithstanding Florida has many of the features and oharaoteiristics of a now country, no very large centers of populatio11, her villages and prospective cities remote from each other, and much of her tel'l'itory sparsely se ttled, and her people generally p601·, yet it has been found pmctic11ble to inaugurate and establish the Wo-man's Fol'eign Missionary Society.

U uder the ci i•cu mstances, that it exists at 1111 is a matter of gratitude, and that it is slowly incrnasing in numbers, influence aud usefulness is a matter of devout tlmnksgivinp: to the Great Head of the Church-the Captain and Leader of all our missiouary hosts.

While reviewing our short history as a society, runnin~ through only a few months, our gratitude is enlisted, but alas 1 our gratitude is blent with regrets 1

Reg1·ct that we have not been able to woTk more efficiently and successfully; that· so few· auxiliary societies have been formed ; that 11.ny of those formed should have clecliuod in intcl'est; tlmt it should be found difficult !Lt any point where we have t\Jl orguuizcd Chmch, to enlist the co-operation of our sisters ; and most of all do we rol!'ret that any of our honored and beloved pus-tol'S should eve n seem to be inchlfe1·ent to a grand depa,rtment of Christiuu work and achievement, which we have come to believe is so vital to any large and permanent success of missional'y labors in heathen lands.

Let us, nt the openiug of the now ecclesiastical year, renew our personal devotion to Chl'ist, and the result will be iucroased zeiil and self-sacrifice for the gl'eat cause of missions.

Your sister and co-workel' in Christ Jesus, Mns. CHAS. A. FULWOOD,

President W. M. Society, Fla., Conf. Memphis, Tennessee, January 13th, 1882.

Report of the Corrcsponclillg Secretary of the Coriference Society of Florida, tit tlicfr annual meeting, January, 1882.

MONTICELLO, FLA.

MRs. PiiESIDENT: A short account of the formation of the Woman's Mis· sionary Society in Florida may not be inappropriate at this time, though the Corresponding Secret.J.ry is supposed to report especially upon the work of the Conference Society.

On March 11, 1878, a meeting of the ladies of St. Pnul's M. E. Church, at Jacksonville, wn.s c11lled for the purpose of organizin~ themselves into an Auxiliary of the Woman's Foreign .Missionary Association. This move-ment hud been anticipated by a correspondence between Mrs. S. H. McGav· ock, Corresponding Secretary General Executive Association, and the Chu.rch at Sanford, which deserves the honor of taking the initiatory steps, and seven Indies of that Church united their names with seven at St. Paul's as the be-,ginnfog of u missionary society. These were afterwards formed in two sep-6.rate Auxiliaries at Sanford and Jacksonville, respectively. An effort was soon made, in an appeal to the Churches, to extend the work and increase

APPENDIX. 26

the number of Auxiliaries. Gainesville, Quincy, Tallahassee, Madison e.nd other points were communicated with; and finally, at the end of three years when a meeting was called by Rev. H. B. A.very at Mrs. McGavock's solic-itation, for the purpose of organizing a Conference Society, six Auxiliaries were represented-Jacksonville, Sanford, Gainesville, Quinc7, Jasper and Micanopy. The meeting resulted in the .election of the followm~ officers:

President-MRS. C. A.. FuLwooD. Vice·Presidents-J acksonville District, Mas. M. C. W.&.SHINOTON; Gainesville District Mas. J. T. MEADOR; Live Oak District, MRs. B. H. FRINK; Tallahassee District, MRS. G. W. T.&.YLOR; 'l'ampa District, Mas. A. PEELER ; Corres!londin~ Secretary, Mrss Lours.&. TuoKER; Treasurer, MRS. T. H.&.RTRIDGE; Recordmg Secretary, MRS. M. E. SooTT; Auditor, MRS. H.B. AVERY.

Before our first quarterly report to Mrs. McGavock, forwarded September last, there had been added five new Auxiliaries at Mount Pleasant, Apopka City, Citra1 Prospect and Maitland respectively, making in all eleven up to the time ot our second quarterly report. Since then four new ones are re-ported, and our number has increased to fifteen, with a membership of three hundred and fifty-eight, besides thirty.four honorary members. A large number of our pastors .have been communicated with, by letter, in reference to extending the work and aiding in this great enterprise, besides a direct a_ppeal to them through the columns of the WESLEYAN by our President, Mrs. )!'ulwood. They seem to be in sympathy with the work, but little has actually been accomplished. The Correspondini;: Secretar.Y___has distributed copies of the annual report, leaflets, specimen copies of the Woman' a Missionary .Advo· cate and the Constitution, etc., throughout different sections of the State.

There are over eleven thousand members in the M. E. Church, South, in the State of Florida; of this number probably over one·half are women. The proportion1 then, is exceedingly small of those who are members of the Missionary Society-only three hundred and .fifty-eight in five thousand I If every woman of these five thousand would use her influence and give her earnest pra:rer to this great object, what a giorious offering, year by year, would be laid upon the altar of our God.

We have urged the ta.kin~ of the Woman's Missionary .Advocate as an in-centive to effort ; we need rn this new field of Christian enterprise the infor· mation and encouragement which it affords. We .find there are twenty-two subscribers, though the number is increasing.

We have not confined our correspondence to our pastors, but have written to certain elect women also at dfferent points, suggested by those interested.

In some cases these letters have never been answered ; in others the re-sponses have not been encouraging. There was a plea of ill health, or a new organ to purchase, or it may be a lack of interest on the part of our sisters. Now and then objections may have been urged as to our confining our labors to home missions, " Charity begins at home " and other such familiar ar-guments. There may be others beside ourselves who have not been aware, until a recent period, that out of every hundred dollars raised for religious purposes in this country ninety-eight are spent at home, while only two go abroad, and that where there are a thousand hands in the home field, there is only one in the foreign.

We have the gospel; every one in our country, perhaps, can hear the gospel, ifhe will, once a month. One-fourth of the world have heard of Jesus; eight hundred millions have never heard His name I What is it to give money 'l That is the least we can do. Think of the noble men and women who have gone forth to a foreign clime, a stro.n~e language, a heathen land-sacriiicing all for their Saviour, while we sit quietly under our own vine and fig tree amid the endearing associations of home, and surrounded with friends and comfort, and with the privileges of the Sabbath and the sanctuary.

Our heathen sisters are crying to us for help ; they are holding out their hands for the Bread of Life ; they are welcommg the glad tidings-the ear· nest of that glorious day whfln their chains shall be riven and woman shall be exalted from slavery and oppression to her proper sphere as the compan·

ion and friend of man. Shall we withhold our pittance? Shall we refuse our influence while that sacred voice, with its divine command, comes rolling down the ages, "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel 'l" AR the blessed influence of the religion of Jes us spread~, and penetrates further and further into those benighted lands, the Cl'¥ is hen,rd, " Why did you not send us the the gospel sooner?" Bereaved ones stretch forth I heir arms for the loved ones torn from their embrace and butchered, it may be, before their eyes by barbaric cruelty, and cry out, "Why did you not send the gospel sooner. 'l'hen we, to-day, might not thus be standing with empty homes and bleeding hearts?''

Christ is calling-the Church is callin"-the pagan world is calling, and, as women redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, we may not-cannot sit idle in His vineyard.

We believe the very effort born of missionl\ry zeal may serve to quicken every Christian energy-the reflex influence on spirituality will repay for all self-sacrifice. Let us pray for each other-for greater zeal-intensified devotion, and perfect consecration.

The outlook is growing more and more encouraging; new Auxiliaries are being formed; juvenile societies are springing up all over our beautiful South-land, and our last annual report registers o. membership of nineteen thousand members. The receipts of the fiscal year were over $19,3G2.00. We have six thousand subscribers to our organ-the ·woman'.~ M'issiona171 Advocate. We have missionaries in China, Brazil, Mexico, and the Mexican border; we have Bible women, and native preachers ; we have schools, and a hospi-tal in contemplation; but this is only the beginning-only the entering wedge. We ueed the sledge hammer of grace with its triple power of faith, and prayer, aud devotion to drive home the truth!

If we expect to evangelize the world we must educate the children. [Was the old Greek schoolmaster wise after all when he said, "I rule the world I" "How?" was asked. "I role the children," was the reply, "and the chil-dren rule their mothers, and the mothers rule thelr fathers, and the fathers rule Athens, and Athens rule the world!"] Now, if we are to rule the world for Christ, we must train the children. The future of the world lies in the fa.ithfnl tuition of youth. Women are needed for women's work. There are doors which only women can enter, o.nd a wise Providence is open· ing the way for their careful preparation o.s medical missionaries to enter the secluded and cloistered zenanas of the oriental world.

But how much might be said on this wonderful theme ; methods of work; hints for raising money; suggestions for rendering the monthly meetings of Auxiliaries more attractive, and other points of interest; but I cloHe merely with an appeal to our women of the M. E. Church, South, in Florida. Let us be up and doing; let us enter into a. ~enerous rivalry with our sister States; let every woman consider herself a missionary, heaven-appointed, to influ-ence others to join in this divine labor.

Every effort made is adding stone after stone to the glorious edifice rising slowly and surely heavenward, polished 11fter the similitude of a palace, whose corner-stone is Christ, and whose maker and builder is the eternal God. All of which is respectfully submitted,

LOUISA TUCKER, Corresponding Secretary Ooriference Society.

Reports were received from the following Auxiliary Societies: Jasper, Sanford, Apopka Oity Micanopy Gainesville, Mount Pleasant Jackson· ville, Citm, Maitland, Key West-First Oharge-Sparks' Chapel, Monticello, and a Juvenile Society iu Madison.

The Key West-First Charge-was entitled to the honor of being the ban· ner Society, but not having reported in time to the Corresponding Secretary, the amount sent up was not meorporatcd with the collections for the year 1881.
