A Concise History Of The Methodist Protestant Church From Its Origin PDF Download

Excerpt from Concise History of the Methodist Protestant Church From Its Origin, Vol. 3: Embracing the Circumstances of the Suspension of the Northern and Western Conferences in 1858, the Entire Career of the Methodist Church, and the Reunion of the Two Branches in 1877 The writer has endeavored to pursue an originality of statement, eschewing certain threadbare points, which the reader would not desire to have reiterated. And a variety of facts and incidents are here given which have not before met the eye of the reader. The writer has aimed at conciseness, in view of bringing the work into one volume, so that its cost may adapt it to general circulation. Hence many may be disappointed not to find here local and personal details, which would have so swelled the work as to require another volume, which might easily have been produced. Let it here be remarked, if Mr. Williams in his History presented most fully the record of transactions in and about his city (baltimore), and if Dr. Paris, in his History, dwelt most in detail upon transactions in his State (north Caro lina), it can not be thought amiss that this writer, a life-long resident and laborer in the North and West, should present more at large the historical facts pertaining to that wing of the church, though giving in sufficient detail the record of the other localities.
