Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Early Schools of Methodism Many years ago the undersigned became interested in the schools opened principally through the exertions of Bishop Asbury. From the Bishop´s "Journal," their names, and but little more, were learned. Methodist historians said but little of any of them, and nothing of most. In response to hundreds of letters, and from certain local histories of States and counties, such facts were gathered as enabled the writer to prepare brief historical sketches of all the Methodist schools belonging to the Asburyan period. In October, 1884, he submitted to our veteran editor of the "Methodist Review" the question, "What shall be done with these sketches, so as most to benefit the Church?" The response was, "I am glad you have done the work indicated. The only right thing to do with your MSS. is to publish them in permanent form. What you have collected respecting the schools of Bishop Asbury is of very great value. It will stand alone; and also correct some wide-spread misapprehensions; a book made up of these accounts, and then of the renewed movements, coming down to about 1840. I hope you will prepare such a book." To succeed in the work recommended by Dr. Curry, the aid of the schools to be named in the volume was indispensable. Letters were addressed to many of the leading educators in the Church, and to some other officials. Without exception the plan proposed by Dr. Curry was approved. President Beach, of Wesleyan University, wrote: "I am glad you have taken this work in hand. I will aid you."
