Excerpt from History of the Old Baltimore Conference From the Planting of Methodism in 1773 to the Division of the Conference in 1857 The writer of this History was admitted on trial into the Old Baltimore Conference at its session in Hagerstown, Maryland, in March, 1853, four years before the division into the Baltimore and East Baltimore Conferences. At the same session JohnS. Martin was elected Secretary. Five years later James E.Armstrong was selected as Assistant Secretary. These two served the Conference with entire harmony and with unsurpassed efficiency until the death of Dr. Martin in 1888. At the next session, March, 1889, James E.Armstrong was elected to succeed his much-loved co-worker, and has continued in office by unanimous vote of his Conference until this day. Thus by personal association with many of the Old Guard and by familiarity with the records of the body from the beginning, he is eminently fitted for the work he has essayed in this volume. His own long service in the itinerant ranks, on circuits, stations, and districts, with unwavering fidelity and unswerving devotion, gives ample proof that he has imbibed the spirit of the fathers, and has held fast the traditions of the old Conference.
