Life And Labors Of Francis Asbury PDF Download

Excerpt from The Life and Labors of Francis Asbury Mood, D. D: Founder and First Regent of South-Western University A narrative of the life of Dr. Mood presents to us the career of one, who by his own efforts lifted himself into a position of usefulness which had its consummation in one great work. This work became a grand success, for upon it, all the thoughts and energies of his last years were concentrated. Such a life as this, is worthy of study as it is worthy of imitation. At the request, coming first from his family, and then from the Alumni Association of Southwestern University, I have to present to the world, a man greatly beloved for his social virtues. A man of letters, who had not the leisure to gratify a taste in the indulgence of which he could have attained to literary renown; a preacher of much grace and many gifts; an educator, who originated the idea of a central institution of learning for Texas Methodism, which, under his wise management and invincible energy in the face of difficulties, resulted in the establishment of Southwestern University, and placing it upon a firm and lasting foundation.
