Excerpt from Who's Who in American Methodism If the Gentle Reader find not in this book the name of his friend whom he regards of suficient prominence to be mentioned in who 's who IN american methodism, let him reflect that not all those nominated have honored us with the information we have requested concerning their life-records; and of those failing thus to respond it has been possible to include in the book only the most prominent leaders, whose biographies may be found in the files of the church papers. And if his friend has been overlooked in this process, let him be consoled with the hope that a later edition of this book may somewhat reduce the imperfections in evitable in the first edition of a work of this nature. To that end we eagerly invite suggestions from the Gentle Reader for improvement in the book, the broadening of its personnel and the elimination of errors and inaccuracies. We are grateful to all who have assisted in making the book possible; to all nominators for their nominations, to those nominees who have so generouv furnished information requested of them, and especially to Dr. James R. J'oy, editor of The Christian Advocate (new York), for the initial suggestions and plans from which this work has developed, and to Mr. William Rhinehart Barbour for most valuable advice and assist ance in producing it in this form.

Excerpt from The Methodist Who's Who, 1912 The brief biographies contain details as to each man's personal history, his public work, his church life, his writings, studies, recrea tions, and other points of interest. Such pages will make ministers and people better known to each other, and will bind together the various branches of the Methodist family. The book makes a wider appeal to members of other Churches and to all who wish to know something about Methodist men of the time. They will find here much information which can be gained nowhere else. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Lost Chapters Recovered From the Early History of American Methodism The old book sheds light upon that part of our history where all before was dark as a starless midnight. It is the first record of the trustees and stewards of the old J ohn-street Church. It is a model book, both on account of its neatness and exactness. They were very particular in those days to re cord everything, small and great. What a reproof to the care less manner in which many church records are now kept. The old book is the basis of the work entitled, Lost Chapters Recovered. We do not publish all that it con tains, but make extracts from year to year, from the first to the conclusion. This work is something more than a mere local history. It describes the early and great men of Methodism, in whom the great Methodist family have a common interest. To make the chapters as complete as possible, I have not only followed the old book, but availed myself of other material that enriches the volume. Does the reader inquire where this old book has been? I answer, I cannot tell, only it has been lost for over half a century, and very recently discovered. The oldest ministers now in new-york and the oldest trustees had never seen the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of Methodism, Vol. 1: American Methodism The first Methodist sermon in America of which we have anything like a definite account was preached in a private dwelhng In the colonial city of New York, early in 1766, by Philip Embury, an emigrant carpenter, who had been stirred to do his duty by'a zealous Palatine woman named Barbara Heck. The credit of protecting and promoting the success of this infant society belongs to an Englishman, Captain Thomas Webb, a warm-hearted Methodist soldier in the forces of His Britannic Majesty King George III.

Excerpt from First American Itinerant of Methodism, William Watters His little volume, the culling of years from many sources, is given to the public because of the relation its subject sustains to what has been termed The greatest fact in the history of the Church of Christ - methodism - and with the hope that the perusal of its pages may serve to some extent in maintaining a spirit of love and loyalty to the Redeemer's cause. The life of William Watters, the first na tive itinerant of American Methodism, and that of my father, Henry Watters, yet living, and a descendant of the same family, more than span the history of the Church in this country. The present prodigious results of the Church, produced in so brief a time, aug ment the worth and importance of first things and first men.
