Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Methodist Church, Vol. 2: Within the Territories Embraced in the Late Conference of Eastern British America, Including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Bermuda It was the original intention of the author to proceed no further with his history than to the period of the organization of the Eastern British American Conference, in 1855. To that purpose he has virtually adhered, as the closing chapter is a supplementary sketch rather than a detailed account of a period rich in the development of influences set at work during three preceding generations. History can not be written with thorough safety when fire may yet smoulder beneath the ashes of some movement marked by a bright brief blaze; the canonization of living men is never prudent. The lapse of time only can throw light upon the motives of many actions, and the hidden causes of many apparently transparent actions. Forty years ago, George Bancroft, when asked how far he proposed to continue his History of the United States, replied: "If I were an artist, painting a picture of this ocean, my work would stop at the horizon, I can see no farther. My history will end with the adoption of the constitution. All beyond that is experiment." With no less wisdom and more clearness a leading writer of present-day fiction has made one of her characters say: "In the blaze and mist of this ´to-day,´ things are seen false and distorted. People are in too great a hurry to tell of to-day; they ought to wait, in some things, till it has become yesterday."
