Book Description

Excerpt from Recollections and Reflections of an Old Itinerant: A Series of Letters, Originally Published in the Christian Advocate and Journal and the Western Christian Advocate Reflections now before us must furnish many pro fitable lessons, and be eminently worthy of attention. It will be seen from the Letters themselves, that, at the time they were written, the author had no intention ever to republish them. He had furnished a letter, embracing some interesting incidents relating to the introduction and progress Of Methodism in the west, for the Western Christian Advocate - rand this, which will be found in its appropriate place in this volume, excited so much interest, as to-induce a formal appli cation from the corresponding secretary of the Western Methodist Historical Society for further details, which were cheerfully given, and subsequently published. A letter was afterward written for the Christian Ad vocate and Journal; and in compliance with the so licitation of Dr. Ad, the senior editor of that Journal, the Letters followed which comprise the greater part of the series. They are now, in accordance with the wishes Of esteemed and intelligent friends, presented to the public in the present form. Suchfias they are, says the author, they cost me much thought and labor, and many prayers and tears. They are sent forth with fervent prayer to God that they may be.
