Book Description
Excerpt from A Century of Methodism in Germantown Shrader; both mother and daughter were members of St. George's Church, and lived in the city of Philadelphia. The mother objected to the mar riage, on account of there being no Methodist meetings held in German town; the Academy building at that time being closed against them, Mr Regar promised the mother that if she would consent to her daughter marrying him, and they making their home with him in Germantown, he would take both mother and daughter to St. George's Church on Sundays until there should be regular services by the Methodists in Germantown. Upon this promise, the mother gave her consent, and on the twelfth day of November, 1799, Jacob Reger was married to the daughter, Dorothy Shrader, by the Rev. Ezekiel Cooper. (see Church record of St. George's Church.) At this time Jacob Reger was not a member of the Church. Mother and daughter moved to Germantown. Brother Reger kept his promise, and soon after that date Opened his house for public worship. The house is still standing on the southeast side of Haines street, about midway between the Main street and the present parsonage. From that time on until the year 1803, the Methodists, whose motto was, and ever should be, Onward and Upward, held their meetings in private houses; sometimes in the house of Brother Reger, sometimes in the house of Brother Joseph Jacobs, a frame house which stood at the corner of Main and Mill streets (the site now occupied by Eberle's drug store); and at other times in the shop of Frederick Axe, on the southwest side of the Main street, below Washington lane. (the property now belongs to Mrs. Ann Keyser.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Birth of Methodism in America

Pages : 98
Book Description
Excerpt from The Birth of Methodism in America: With Photographs T is nearly a century and a half since the birth of Methodism in 1 America. From that angel-guarded cradle has grown a family numbering about one fifth of the population of the United States. This wonderful growth from so humble a birth has attracted the attention of the world. It has wielded a tremendous power in spreading the gospel of jesus Christ throughout the land which has had so much to do in shaping our present civilization. The purpose Of this little volume is not to give the history of Methodism in the United States, but to give all the history that is obtainable Of the Father Of Methodism in America. This is best accomplished by publishing the oration and addresses of the emi nent Methodists who participated in the ceremonies on the occa sion Of the removal Of the remains of the Father Of Methodism in America, and at the unveiling of the beautiful monument at Cam bridge, New York, erected by the National Local Preachers' Asso ciation of the' Methodist Episcopal Church to his memory. The aim Of the publisher is to perpetuate the name of the Father Of Methodism in America, and his contemporaries - names quite unknown, perhaps, to many of the present generation, but names honored and revered by all Methodists familiar with the early history of the Methodist Church in America. The beautiful half-tone photographs in this little volume are priceless. The plates from which they are taken are the only ones in existence and cannot be duplicated, thus making this little book a historical souvenir of great value.

Lost Chapters Recovered From the Early History of American Methodism (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
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.

One Hundred Years of Methodism in Galesburg, Illinois, 1847-1947 (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from One Hundred Years of Methodism in Galesburg, Illinois, 1847-1947 The First Methodist Church of Galesburg, Illinois is happy to present the historical materials in this volume to its membership and friends. Much time and effort, on the part of many people, has been expended to assemble a series of articles, presented in chronological order, unfold ing the development of the church since its birth in 1847. There is, of course, a brief review of the Wesley family and the arrival of the first Methodist workers in the American colonies. On the surface, it will appear that what is herein presented has to do, primarily, with the temporal development of this Society, listing its struggles and victories and noting some of its leadership. Such procedure is only natural as it is the manner in which we are accustomed to write history. As you read the pages, however, you must bear in mind that back of every new building enterprise, every new department organized, every effort for increased attendance and every campaign for funds, is a deep seated spiritual urge upon which the very life of the Society has depended and continues to depend. John Wesley organized Societies in England, wrote volumes, in the form of pamphlets, about every conceivable need of the people, organized a group to carry the message to the new America, and did much else which had to do with the temporal, but it was all undergirded by the Heart Warming experience he received at the Aldersgate Street meeting in England.
