More than a quarter of a century has elapsed since th organization of th Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The men who were prominent in the General Canference of 1844, the extrajudicial legislation of which body resulted in the division of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States into two separate and distinct ecclesiastical organizations, with but few exeeptians, have passed away. The names of Olin, Bangs, Finley, Elliott, Collins, Hamline, and of Bascom, Winans, Longstreet, Capers, Smith, and Fowler, no longer appear on the roll of the Conferences where, for so many years, they were the bulwarks of the Church. Bishop Morris, the senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, (N orth,) alone remains of the men who composed the College of Bishops at that period. No longer able to go in and out before his brethren, he enjoys a serene old age, and is joyful in contemplation of the heavenly inheritance. His colleagues have passed over the river, and entered upon the rest that remaineth to the people of God.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This historical volume explores how competing ideologies within the Methodist church in the mid-19th century led to its eventual split into northern and southern factions. The introduction of a petition to the general conference protesting slavery brought the issue to a head, and the subsequent suspension of a minister who refused to manumit his enslaved people led to further tensions. The author argues that the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which emerged from the division, was justified in its stance, as the laws of Maryland prohibited the liberation of slaves and their subsequent enjoyment of freedom. The author highlights the complexity of the issue, the personal struggles faced by those involved, and the broader impact of the dispute on the unity of the Methodist church.
