Excerpt from A Century: Addresses Delivered at the Centennial Celebration of the Founding of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ The centennial feature of the General Conference of the United Brethren Church, which convened in Frederick, Mary land, May, 1901, proved to be of such importance, and awak ened such interest, as to demand the publication Of the ad dresses delivered ou that occasion, so that they might be pre served in permanent form, and thus be put into the hands of the entire membership of the Church for their instruction and inspiration. The history Of the celebration of our Church centenary clearly indicates the value of such observance to the life and Spirit of the denomination. If we do not cherish the memory of the pioneer fathers and pay high tribute of honor to their character, toils, hardships, and achievements in laying the foundations of our Zion, how can we expect to perpetuate the distinctive principles and spirit with which our denomina tional life began. The forces of aggressive evangelism and the fires of piety and missionary zeal which characterized the origin of our Church will best be kept burning upon the altar Of our own hearts by occasionally meeting on historic ground, made sacred by the memory of the faith, heroism, tears, and sacrifices of our fathers in holding spiritual com munion with their God and our God.
