SO. GA. METHODISTS
PURCHASE LAND FOR
CONFERENCE SITE
A 43-acre farm on the Frederica
River, St. Simons Island, which
John and Charles Wesley are said
to have passed when they arrived
in the New World in 1733, has been
acquired by South Georgia Method
ists for a Conference Ground.
Bishop Arthur J. Moore, Resident
Bishop of the Atlanta area of the
Methodist Church and Julian Strick
land, of Valdosta, Chairman of the
Conference Center Commission, yes
terday announced purchase of the
Hamilton plantation.
Members of the Commission, com
posed of district superintendents,
pastors and laymen, have been call
ed to meet there October 19. The
Commission was established in 1945.
The South Georgia Conference
created the body to buy property
and set up-a center as a Summer
meeting place for the 200,000 mem
bers from 733 churches of the Con
ference.
The plantation lies in an area of
historic importance t o American
Methodism—the region where the
Wesley brothers first preached in
this country. Charles Wesley was
Gen. Oglethorpe’s secretary and
John Wesley was chaplain of the
colony.

Four Old Soldiers
Attend Reunion
Four Confederate Veterans, all
over 100 or just under, received
great tributes at the United Con
federate Veterans’ Reunion in Little
Rock, Ark., last week.
These lone able-bodied survivors
of the United Confederate Veterans
rode in shiny convertibles over a
half-mile parade route while thous
ands cheered their fifty-ninth re
union into history.
They posed again and again for
pictures on a reviewing stand at the
end of their drive.
‘‘l ’spect I could stand three more
days of this,” said James A. Thrash
er, 97, of Louin, Miss., who took a
“date” to the Confederate Ball Wed
nesday night and danced a jig with
her.
i “Tired?” said Thomas Riddle, 103,
from Wichita Falls, Texas, “I never
get tired of this.”
Gen. James A. Moore, 98, of Sel
ma, Ala., the Confederates’ com
manding officer, also appeared fresh
after two days of reunion enter
tainment, but 102-year-old W. W.
Alexander, of Rock Hill, S. C., was a
little tired.
These two and two other mem
bers of the Holy Club, started at
Oxford University and from which
the Methodist Church grew, were
residents of St. Simons. The site of
the camp is near Fort Frederica, one
of Oglethorpe’s original fortifica
tions.
“It was the desire of the church
to meet the need of the people in
changing times that caused the
Commission to buy this property for
a conference center,” Bishop Moore
said. “Each year thousands of young
people in assemblies, members of
the Women’s Society for Christian
Service, laymen’s groups and gath
erings ■of ministers will meet here
for study, inspiration, fellowship,
and recreation.”
The plans of the Commission call
for the scheduling of a number of
conferences every year from May to
September.
