Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Methodists in the United States The following catalogue, arranged alphabetically under authors' names, includes but a minority of the volumes consulted in the preparation of this work. In some instances they have been published in various editions and by several publishers. Next to the official journals and other documents of the different denominations, the most important authorities are the personal journals of Wesley, Coke, Asbury, Garrettson, and other founders; the histories of Jesse Lee, Nathan Bangs, and Abel Stevens, in particular the last-named, whose works are invaluable and deserve the everlasting gratitude of both English and Ameiican Methodism. Bond, Emery, and Wakeley rendered valuable service; and Neely and Tigert pursued, in the order of time in which their names are placed, important investigations into the subjects comprehended under the titles of their works, and displayed the results in a clear and comprehensive manner. "The Wesley Memorial Volume," edited by Clark, and the "Lives of Methodist Bishops," edited by flood and Hamilton, are very useful, the latter containing an immense amount of information in small compass. The special histories of the various branches of American Methodism, and the biographies of their founders, are indispensable. Among the biographies none surpasses Paine's "Life of McKendree," which is a mine of antiquarian knowledge and a repository of the writings of McKendree, Soule, and other controlling minds among those who gave Methodism its final forms. The "History of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South," by Gross Alexander, treats many interesting phases of the life and growth of that body, and afforded aid in investigations required by the plan of this work. The works of Lucius C. Matlack on the slavery controversy admirably fill a place occupied by no other productions. The reports of different organizations, the minutes of Annual Conferences, the "Methodist Magazine," the reviews, and the files of the weekly periodicals of American Methodism have been searched, and a large mass of unpublished epistolary correspondence and other manuscript examined. It is believed that the bibliography here given will afford sufficient indication to those who may desire to examine authorities.

Download or read book The Birth of Methodism in America written by J. S. Reynolds and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-19 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Birth of Methodism in America: With Photographs T is nearly a century and a half since the birth of Methodism in 1 America. From that angel-guarded cradle has grown a family numbering about one fifth of the population of the United States. This wonderful growth from so humble a birth has attracted the attention of the world. It has wielded a tremendous power in spreading the gospel of jesus Christ throughout the land which has had so much to do in shaping our present civilization. The purpose Of this little volume is not to give the history of Methodism in the United States, but to give all the history that is obtainable Of the Father Of Methodism in America. This is best accomplished by publishing the oration and addresses of the emi nent Methodists who participated in the ceremonies on the occa sion Of the removal Of the remains of the Father Of Methodism in America, and at the unveiling of the beautiful monument at Cam bridge, New York, erected by the National Local Preachers' Asso ciation of the' Methodist Episcopal Church to his memory. The aim Of the publisher is to perpetuate the name of the Father Of Methodism in America, and his contemporaries - names quite unknown, perhaps, to many of the present generation, but names honored and revered by all Methodists familiar with the early history of the Methodist Church in America. The beautiful half-tone photographs in this little volume are priceless. The plates from which they are taken are the only ones in existence and cannot be duplicated, thus making this little book a historical souvenir of great value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Origin of the Free Methodist Church But, though Methodism has changed its home, it has in no wise changed either its character or its mode of Opera tion. And hence, as it fled to the Free Methodists to escape the trammels of worldly associations, a time-serving policy, and the soul-sickening routine of a lifeless formal ism it could no longer endure; so will it in like manner abandon them, should the contingency ever arise, when it is no longer permitted to operate through their instru mentality in accordance with its own peculiar principles and purposes.

Download or read book Methodism in America written by James Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Methodism in America: With the Personal Narrative of the Author; During a Tour Through a Part of the United States and Canada This volume has been prepared for publication under the influence of one only sentiment; namely, a desire to make the Methodist body in England acquainted with the state and progress of their system of religion in the United States. The author is not conscious to himself of any peculiar bias in his opinions; his aim being simply to state facts as they presented themselves to his attention, and leave his readers to draw their own inferences. Not being a political agent, he has not felt himself called upon to enter - except incidentally - into questions of civil government. His general impression is, however, that the Americans possess a larger amount of social prosperity than any other people upon earth. But the vexed question of republicanism lies beyond his purpose; and he begs to inform his reader beforehand, that whatever he may meet with is not to be construed into an expression of opinion, for or against this or any other form of government, but simply as historical. One thing, however, bearing on this subject may not be deemed out of place: it is, that the author's impressions of the true greatness of his own country were never so strong as during his visit to the States. America is the offspring of England. England has been reproduced in America. The character of the parent is seen in the athletic growth of the son. The blood, the religion, the ideas, the opinions, and, in substance the institutions, of England exist in the United States. On this soil the Anglo-Saxon race is asserting its supremacy on a gigantic scale, and with a rare energy and vigour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodists The aim of this series is to furnish a uniform set of church histories, brief but complete, and designed to instruct the average church member in the origin, development, and his tory of the various denominations. Many church histories have been issued for all de nominations, but they have usually been volumes of such size as to discourage any but students of church history. Each vol ume of this series, all of which will be written by leading historians of the various denominations, will not only interest the members of the denomination about which it is written, but will prove interesting to members of other denominations as well who wish to learn something of their fellow workers. The volumes will be bound uni formly, and when the series is complete will make a most valuable history of the Chris tian church.

Download or read book History of the Primitive Methodist Church Classic Reprint written by H. B. Kendall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Primitive Methodist Church I count it an honour to write this brief foreword to this, the latest history of our Church. There must be few Primitive Methodists who are not acquainted with Mr. Kendall's smaller history published upwards of a quarter of a century ago, and with his "Principles and Polity of the Primitive Methodist Church." These little volumes, for many years, have been text-books for Local Preachers and for Ministerial Candidates. On one of my visits to the late Bishop of Durham I found these two books on the study table, and afterwards discovered that Dr. Westcott had read them with intentness and interest. The Standard History of our Church was written too by Mr. Kendall, and will immortalise his name. He was for nine years Connexional Editor, and in 1901 the President of Conference. The Book Committee felt that a smaller history was needed, bringing the story up to date. The present is practically a new volume. The historic imagination, the spiritual insight, the literary grace, which we all associate with the author, are all in evidence in these pages. The book has been written through love of the subject, with gratitude for the past, and with confidence for the future. The mention of Mr. Kendall brings his devoted and capable wife into mind. She it is who has been at his side during long years of physical weakness, and only her wonderful care has made possible the continuance and success of his literary labours. We greet them in this foreword, and commend the volume to all our people, and to the readers of other Churches.

This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lost Chapters Recovered From the Early History of American Methodism The old book sheds light upon that part of our history where all before was dark as a starless midnight. It is the first record of the trustees and stewards of the old J ohn-street Church. It is a model book, both on account of its neatness and exactness. They were very particular in those days to re cord everything, small and great. What a reproof to the care less manner in which many church records are now kept. The old book is the basis of the work entitled, Lost Chapters Recovered. We do not publish all that it con tains, but make extracts from year to year, from the first to the conclusion. This work is something more than a mere local history. It describes the early and great men of Methodism, in whom the great Methodist family have a common interest. To make the chapters as complete as possible, I have not only followed the old book, but availed myself of other material that enriches the volume. Does the reader inquire where this old book has been? I answer, I cannot tell, only it has been lost for over half a century, and very recently discovered. The oldest ministers now in new-york and the oldest trustees had never seen the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Methodism: Its Divisions and Unification Beginning in colonial days, it has, throughout the entire existence of the nation, been in touch with all the stages of national development, and, exerting a marked influence upon all grades of society, it has had a very direct part in molding the national life. While it held strategic positions in the cities, it ministered also to the rural regions, and its pioneer preachers fol lowed those who sought homes in the wilderness, and, by their religious services, they saved the frontier from lapsing into barbarism. It was also a unifying force, as in the colonial days and in other periods of the country's history, its itinerant ministers, like soldiers under orders, moved from one part of the land to ah other binding the people oi the different sections to gether by a common spiritual bond. So great has been the influence of Methodism upon the people generally that no one can thoroughly under stand the history oi the United States who is not fairly familiar with the movements of Methodism from its beginning in this land. As Wesley had much to do in making a new England, across the sea, so his followers on this side the Atlantic have had much to do with the making of the great American Republic.
