The Life of REV. Philip William Otterbein


Book Description

Excerpt from The Life of Rev. Philip William Otterbein: Founder of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ It only remains for me to give statement to a few points by way of preface to what is herewith presented as the Life of Otterbein. The designation given, it is conceded, is in various respects unsuitable. Many things essential or important to the true life-history of Otterbein are irrecoverably lost, or survive only in imperfect outlines; and some things to which space in the following pages is given may seem to include too wide a circle about him to be consistent with the title used. It might be more fit if the materials here given should pass under the character of a memorial volume - a volume of the extant facts - on the life and career of Otterbein. In my work I have constantly been compelled to struggle with the meagerness of material, and in some parts with the uncertainty and confliction of testimony. I have sought to honor facts, and to allow them to make their own impression and impart their own coloring. From the endeavor to give to facts this place, various consequences follow. The difficulty of tracing a faintly-marked line of facts almost necessarily excludes literary attractiveness. Likewise an unflinching devotion to historical truth may excite, on controverted points, the charge of want of charity, if not of want of fairness; while, perhaps in regard to the same points, others may feel that too much has been conceded.
