Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of Methodism in Eastern British America: Including Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland and Bermuda Reaching a crisis in the history of our Church, when it was about to become a part of the United Church of Canada, it was thought desirable by the Conferences of Eastern British America that a history of Methodism in this territory should be prepared especially dealing with the past fifty years extending from the date at which the late Dr. T. Watson Smiths excellent History of Methodism in Eastern British America ended. We were re quested to undertake this task and consented to do so. As our investigations developed, we concluded that it would be wise to produce, in one volume, a summary of the history of Methodism in this territory from the beginning to the present momentous period(1925) when the long proposed union of the Presbyterian, Methodist and Congregational Churches in Canada is about to be accomplished, and we have acted accordingly. In doing so, after an introductory chapter on "The Genesis of Methodism", we have proceeded to consider the progress of the separate eastern Conferences and to give, as far as possible, a summary of the history of every circuit, for convenience sake following the order in which they appear in the Year Book, except that Bermuda notes follow those on Newfoundland. By this arrangement, the record of any circuit can be easily found. Following this, are chapters on The Mount Allison Institutions, Wesleyan and Book Room, Church Union, Woman´s Missionary Society and Home and Foreign Missions. The Appendices are extended, giving the names of all candidates who have been admitted to the ministry in these Conferences since 1855 and what became of them. The preparation of these tables has entailed much labor. No doubt some discrepancies will be found. In preparing this volume we have traversed more than fifty years of Wesleyan files; Minutes of the old E. B. A. Conference, and of the three succeeding Conferences from 1874 to the present; Missionary Reports; Academy, Ladies College and University Calendars from their beginnings; Argosy files, many district books and other documents.
