Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Great Secession From the Methodist Episcopal Church On the first day of Jane 1848, the General conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in the city of Pittsburg, adopted the following preamble and resolution: "Whereas, it is the sense of this General conference; that a history of the Methodist Episcopal Church, embracing the last four years, should be written by some competent person designated by this conference; therefore, "Resolved, That Dr. Elliott be, and he is hereby requested to write said history; and, in order thereto, he shall have access to all the journals and documents of the Church which may be necessary to the accomplishment of this important work." After surveying his historical field, at the close of the General conference of 1848, the author found the subject of slavery presented in every step of his progress. In preparing, therefore, for the accomplishment, of his assigned work, he found it necessary to discuss the general subject of slavery, as it exists in the United States, as thoroughly as he could, in its moral characteristics principally; but referring to its civil or legal character as far as moral principles were concerned. This led to the preparation of two volumes, duodecimo, on the "Sinfulness of American Slavery." The evil nature of slavery is shown from its evil sources; its inherent injustice; its cruel wrongs; its opposition to many Scriptural commands, prohibitions, principles, and the Christian spirit; and from its evil effects on the slave, the master, and the community. These two volumes were issued from the press of the Cincinnati Book Concern, on the first of January, 1850. In preparing the foregoing, the material for a single volume on Service and Slavery was collected. The purpose is to show that Scripture neither sanctions, approves, nor tolerates slavery proper; that the regulations of the Mosaic code referred to service, so as to prevent it from running into slavery. A digest of the Roman laws on slavery would be necessary as drawn from their great law codes, as found in the Theodosian Code, the Institutes of Justinian, the Pandects, and the other parts of the Corpus Juris Civilis. These sources will give the true, and the only true survey of Roman slavery, as well in its origin, its nature, and the practice of it. And here, too, is the true source of information in regard to Roman slavery, as it stands connected with the teachings of the New Testament, and the discipline of the primitive Church. In this connection the discipline of the primitive Church would be introduced, as the ground-work of it was laid in the New Testament, connecting with the Old Testament, and recognising what was delivered on the subject in the law of Moses. The apostolic canons on this subject will furnish the discipline of the early Church. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Methodist Episcopal Church and the Civil War The study deals with facts alone, and I have tried to be absolutely fair to all parties. Most of the material which I have had to use is of controversial character, and it was not always easy to come to a conclusion as to the exact facts, and it is not at all to be wondered at if I have made mistakes in some of my conclusions; but while I admit possible mistakes, I can still lay claim to a clear conscience, as far as fairness is con cerned. In many places the account is not as readable as I should have liked to have made it, and where such is the case I have no excuse to offer except that in my desire to be fair I have crowded down all feeling and any attempt at a glorification of the Church, the absence of which has perhaps made the narrative seem more prosaic.
