Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Side Lights on the Conflicts of Methodism: During the Second Quarter of the Nineteenth Century, 1827 1852 "It was a summer´s evening, Old Kaspar´s work was done; And by him sported His little grandchild Then, looking up, she said: ´Now, tell us all about the war, And what they killed each other for?"´ - Southey´s "Battle of Blenheim." It seems a strange predicament to have to apologise for conferring a great boon on one´s contemporaries and posterity by saving them from serious loss. But such is my position. No sooner was it known that it was proposed to publish extracts from the Conference Journals of the late Rev. Joseph Fowler, than there came forth the strongest remonstrances against any such a perilous procedure. The objections were that: (1) "It would do harm," by which I found was meant - that it might modify to an extent the views which some had entertained and sought to propagate with regard to the merits of the questions in dispute and of the policy pursued in those disastrous times, which have left so little to be garnered, but the lessons they may teach. But it seems to me that those lessons should not be wastefully swept into the gulf into which the melancholy wreckage dropped.
