Excerpt from The Methodist, Vol. 1 of 2: Or, Incidents and Characters From Life in the Baltimore Conference Having, for many years, been conversant with the deeply interesting scenes and characters of Methodist life, the question has Often arisen in my mind, Why, when here is so rich and varied a field for writers of fiction, has no one improved it Q Often have I list ened with breathless interest to tales from the lips of our fathers, of their early toils and sufferings, when circuits were almost as' large.as conferences now are, and when even the humblest shelter might not be attained before the traveller was overtaken by the shades of night, and, like the revered mckendree, he has rested his weary head upon the ground, and found, on waking, his hair frozen to his rough pillow, when, like another who still lives to proclaim his message Of peace, these self-denying men were so long absent from the comforts Oi home as to find, on their return they were unknown to their children. Why, I have again and again asked, why cannot these soul-stirring incidents find a more enduring record, before their memory is entombed with the venerable actors?
