Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings, Sermons, Essays and Addresses of the Centennial Methodist Conference: Held in Mt; Vernon Place Methodist Episcopal Church, Baltimore, MD., December 9-17, 1884; With a Historical Statement The proposal to celebrate the Centenary of the Christmas Conference of 1784 raised in some minds the question whether Methodism was not exhausting the possibilities of centennial anniversaries. There had been one, it was recalled, in 1839, another in 1866, and now a third was suggested all within a period of fifty years. Would it not minister to confusion and vainglorying to have centenaries so frequently? The best reply, perhaps, to these doubts is to point to the fact and character of the Conference held last December, in Baltimore, and to add that if Methodism, brief as is its history, is pregnant with epochs as with results, no apology is necessary for the multiplication of centennial observances. The justification is in the importance of the events commemorated, each of which is charged with great historical significance. The first signalizes the rise of a movement which has profoundly affected the English-speaking peoples; the second marks the introduction of that movement into America, where it has had free course; the third indicates its escape from entangling alliances, and its entrance upon its God-given work as an independent, efficient, and unique organization. The Centenary of 1839, though belonging to all Methodists, was, in a special sense, an English Wesleyan anniversary, though it was observed quite generally in America. The Centenary of 1866, distinguishing an event of great importance to Methodism on this continent, was celebrated with enthusiasm by the Methodist Episcopal Church; but, owing to circumstances which it is not necessary to describe, the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, took no part in the celebration. It is not singular, therefore, that the centenary of the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church should seem to brethren, North and South, East and West, an eminently appropriate occasion for the gathering of the members of the numerous denominational family, at the place where the parent Church was organized, to review the work of the century, to enjoy a season of fellowship, to draw closer to one another in fraternal intercourse, and to seek inspiration for the work of the coming century. To the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, belongs the honor of having first proposed a centennial celebration for 1884.
