Excerpt from Letters on the Organization and Early History of the Methodist Episcopal Church Although the question cannot now be asked, has the Methodist Episcopal Church been divided? This fact being known m eve part of the United States, if not m every part of the civilized worlldy it may be asked, as it has been asked already by some, had the General Conference of '44 any right, power, or authority to divide the church into two parts, the church, north and the church, south, each part being independent of the other, and if so whence did it derive this authority?

Book Description
THE following letters were published in the BOSTON OLIVE BRANCH, in numbers, weekly; and have been widely circulated through the United States and British North American Provinces. But their great importance has made it desirable that they should be put in a form in which they can be preserved. These letters give the best history of the peculiar organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church now extant, or that can ever be published. Those old ministers, who possess many of the facts given in this book, have their reasons for keeping them from the public, as the character of the first bishops of that church are painfully implicated in these letters. Certain ecclesiastical frauds were practiced in the church in order to impose upon it a sort of Episcopacy in the revered name of JOHN WESLEY, the founder of Methodism. Painful as are these truths, the author of these letters fully proves them. Methodists of the present and future generations should be informed in matters connected with the origin and present organization of their church; the historian and the general reader, also call for the truth - the whole undisguised truth. In these pages, the unvarnished tale of all the facts connected with the origin of Methodist Episcopacy is given. The letters are from the graphic pen of the reverend and venerable ALEXANDER M'CAINE, a man who has been almost three score years a minister, either in the elder or younger branch of the Methodist Church. He who flattereth with his lips is our enemy. Mr. M'CAINE is not guilty of glossing over the faults of the bishops and their agents in the management of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He faithfully tells the most unpalatable truths, and fails not to make such inferences from his facts as the case may require, though they in some instances bear with terrible weight on the character of the actors in those scenes.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South More than a quarter of a century has elapsed since the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The men who were prominent in the General Conference of 1844, the extrajudicial legislation of which body resulted in the division of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States into two separate and distinct ecclesiastical organizations, with but few exceptions, have passed away. The names of Olin, Bangs, Finley, Elliott, Collins, Ham-line, and of Bascom, Winana, Longstrect, Capers, Smith, and Fowler, no longer appear on the roll of the Conferences where, for so many years, they were the bulwarks of the Church. Bishop Morris, the senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, (North, ) alone remains of the men who composed the College of Bishops at that period. No longer able to go in and out before his brethren, he enjoys a serene old age, and is joyful in contemplation of the heavenly inheritance. His colleagues have passed over the river, and entered upon "the rest that remaineth to the people of God."

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States of America, Vol. 4 George I. Senet, Esq. Mr Dear Sir: In committing to the press this concluding volume of the "History of the Methodist Episcopal Church," I would gratefully acknowledge my obligations to you. If I have succeeded, to any satisfactory degree, in my task, it has been largely owing to the reliefs which your kind attentions have afforded me from cares and anxieties, that would have seriously interfered with it. Your honored father appears briefly in my narrative; tho first collegiately-educated native preacher of his Church, except Fisk, and a man of most sterling talents and character, the friend and co laborer of Bangs, Emory, Soule, Ostrander, Rice, and the other strong men of tho second generation of American Methodist preachers, ho will be 0110 of the most interesting subjects of the later history of his denomination. The Church is happy to recognize in you the worthy son of so worthy a father. It finds, in this its third generation, the descendants of its early and heroic itinerants not only thronging its ministry, but founding, on enduring financial bases, its educational and other great institutions. In my former work (the "History of the Religious Movement of the Eighteenth Century, called Methodism," etc.) I brought the narrative down to 1839, the Centenary of British Methodism, and designed to conclude the present work at the same period. There was no important reason, however, for the latter purpose, as American Methodism has its own distinct centenary. But it would be us inexpedient to extend the record to the latter duto as to limit it to the former, our recent controversies cannot yet be satisfactorily narrated; the chief actors in some of them are still living, the families of many of the actors in the earlier ones still survive. There is also a hopeful tendency of reunion among our denominational parties which should not be disturbed by a return, however guarded, to their old disputes. Not till years hence can the historian safely review these unfortunate events. I have had a twofold design in this narrative: first, to show the real development of Methodism on this continent, its interior life, and its junction conditions; for in these two must find the best lessons of its history for all time. Secondly, to keep within such chronological limits os should not require an inconvenient number of volumes, and yet should allow of a substantially complete history of tho Church, of its inception, its organization, its chief personal agents, its theological and disciplinary systems, and finally those adjuncts of its practical system - publishing, Educational, Sunday-School, and Missionary institutions - which have, for the present at least, rounded, if not perfected its scheme.
