The Mississippi Conference met in Washington, Miss., December 8, 1825, Bishops Roberts and Soule present. William Winans was again elected Secretary. The old Methodist church being too small for Conference congregations and the new church not yet ready for occupation, we accepted gratefully the offer of the commodious Baptist church for our public religious services. The Conference room was a small office on Main Street, about the center of the town. The members of the Conference were mainly quartered in town, but the probationers were sent into the surrounding country. Every preacher from a distance came on horseback, and our horses were distributed among the planters in the vicinity without charge. The first day or two the probationers and local preachers were not admitted into the Conference room as spectators. When not attending church, we stood around outside to see what little we could see and hear what little we could hear and guess at the balance. Why our elder brethren of those days treated the probationers for membership in the Conference in this way, we are at a loss to decide. It would seem reasonable to us, as those on trial expected soon to become members of Conference, that their presence as spectators ought to have been promptly invited, to afford them opportunities for learning the routine of business before being required to take part in it, and to profit by the incidental remarks of the bishops and other ministers of experience. After the suspense of a day or so, the undergraduates were invited to back seats in the Conference room as spectators, which we very gladly accepted. This was our first sight of'an Annual Conference in session. We remember the incidents of that Conference as though they had...

Download or read book Choctaws and Missionaries in Mississippi 1818 1918 written by Clara Sue Kidwell and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1997-02-01 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present-day Choctaw communities in central Mississippi are a tribute to the ability of the Indian people both to adapt to new situations and to find refuge against the outside world through their uniqueness. Clara Sue Kidwell, whose great-great-grandparents migrated from Mississippi to Indian Territory along the Trail of Tears in 1830, here tells the story of those Choctaws who chose not to move but to stay behind in Mississippi. As Kidwell shows, their story is closely interwoven with that of the missionaries who established the first missions in the area in 1818. While the U.S. government sought to “civilize” Indians through the agency of Christianity, many Choctaw tribal leaders in turn demanded education from Christian missionaries. The missionaries allied themselves with these leaders, mostly mixed-bloods; in so doing, the alienated themselves from the full-blood elements of the tribe and thus failed to achieve widespread Christian conversion and education. Their failure contributed to the growing arguments in Congress and by Mississippi citizens that the Choctaws should be move to the West and their territory opened to white settlement. The missionaries did establish literacy among the Choctaws, however, with ironic consequences. Although the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830 compelled the Choctaws to move west, its fourteenth article provided that those who wanted to remain in Mississippi could claim land as individuals and stay in the state as private citizens. The claims were largely denied, and those who remained were often driven from their lands by white buyers, yet the Choctaws maintained their communities by clustering around the few men who did get title to lands, by maintaining traditional customs, and by continuing to speak the Choctaw language. Now Christian missionaries offered the Indian communities a vehicle for survival rather than assimilation.
Download or read book The Mind of the Master Class written by Elizabeth Fox-Genovese and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-17 with total page 843 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mind of the Master Class tells of America's greatest historical tragedy. It presents the slaveholders as men and women, a great many of whom were intelligent, honorable, and pious. It asks how people who were admirable in so many ways could have presided over a social system that proved itself an enormity and inflicted horrors on their slaves. The South had formidable proslavery intellectuals who participated fully in transatlantic debates and boldly challenged an ascendant capitalist ('free-labor') society. Blending classical and Christian traditions, they forged a moral and political philosophy designed to sustain conservative principles in history, political economy, social theory, and theology, while translating them into political action. Even those who judge their way of life most harshly have much to learn from their probing moral and political reflections on their times - and ours - beginning with the virtues and failings of their own society and culture.
