Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Edward Gayer Andrews: A Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church Edward Gayer Andrews was elected a Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church in May, 1872. He was retired in May, 1904. In the thirty-two years of his general superintendency he attended over three hundred Annual Conferences and met the other demands customarily made on a Methodist Bishop. He suffered no periods of ill health, nor was he interrupted in his work by serious illness in his family. In the mere quantity of service rendered the Church he must be ranked in a high place with few, if any, peers. During the thirty-two years from 1872 to 1904 the Methodist Episcopal Church underwent a great expansion. The nation passed out from the crisis of the Civil War to that movement westward which has been one of the marvels of our time. The rapid settlement of the great West has been of profound significance for the United States and for humanity. The transformation came almost wholly within the period of Bishop Andrews´s official career. When the Bishop went to Iowa in 1872 to take up his residence there, the Union Pacific Railroad had been built only a little over three years. The Methodist Church shared in the general movement of the nation. Where the settler went the itinerant went. This phase of church advance is but one. The missionary enterprises since 1872 have reached almost every land. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
