PREFACE.
PREFACE.
It may be thought, and perhaps not without reason, to be presumption that an octogenarian should accept the task of collecting material, and writing a History of the East Maine Conference, comprising the history of Methodism in East Maine, beginning before his birth. Nor would he have undertaken it except in response to a request of the East Maine Conference, at its session in 1885, especially as the writer's habit, long ago enacted beyond repeal, has been of undertaking only what is worth doing, and which there miglit be a reasonable probability of his being able to complete, and then doing to tlie utmost of ability given.
He is ready to admit that the fact of long ago familiarity with almost every part of the included territory, and the work, had something to do with his conclusion.
To get at bottom facts, the work of collecting history should have begun two . generations earlier; especially as few verbal records were made, and of the few, more or less have disappeared for want of care, by fire, or by other accident ; and no parties are left whose memory runs back to the beginning.
This work has been protracted since being undertaken, for want of prompt supply of material, which, if it come at all, must come through the instru- mentality of the several preachers in charge, and without whose co-operation the book could no more be completed than the Israelites could make bricks . without straw.
The writer would have better satisfied himself, as well as the reader, could he have obtained data for a sketch of the origin and progress of cach and every church and society within the bounds of the Conference, though lie is conscious . of having done his utmost to make the department of local history complete, . and is sorry to leave a single blank.
It would be ungenerous to contributors to the department of locals not to . acknowledge the receipt of their contributions by his best bow; and he is sorry that he can not thus bow to all.
The writer has aimed not only to appear, but really to be honest in all he might write.
Unfortunately, if it be a misfortune, his nature is to describe and treat disease according to his own diagnosis ; hence, while he writes of the church,
PREFACE.
as requested, he deems it duty to write for the church according to his own conviction.
At sight, in a few cases, the reader may judge the writer to have put to his · chord an arrow too sharp, or to have drawn his bow with an arm too strong, or at venture ; but he is conscious of not intending to overdraw, in self defense, if need be, reminding the reader that he and the writer do not look from an identieal standpoint.
The writer treats his subjeets as of his own knowledge, and as they have come in his way, without his seeking; and, as in the line of duty, he has had, sometimes painfully, to do with them.
Ile acknowledges to have been a little troubled lest some, not appreciating conditions, may unreasonably sit in judgment as critics. He also acknowledges himself not to be absolutely satisfied with his own work; but of this he feels assured, that, under the circumstances, he has done his best, hoping that some may be satisfied.
The names of preachers, as reported from local records, are omitted exeept in special cases; and for appointments the reader is referred to the appropriate paper in the appendix.
The writer has planned so to arrange and to designate the several locals, memoirs and other parts, as to make an index dispensable, and, at the same time, make it easy for the reader, by carefully looking over the List of Contents, to find what may be sought in the book.
He has also aimed to make the work continuously, and, at the same time, distinetively complete, that, if peradventure in the far away future, another edition may be called for, this book shall show the foundation on which the fabric has been erected.
A few locals appear separate and distant from each other, which would have been placed in eontiguity, or combined, but that they came to the editor's hand at different periods, or from different parties.
The editor is not responsible for errors appearing in documents furnished, having done his utmost to correet all that were apparent.
In eonelusion, with due respect for parties taking exception, he justifies his freedom of expression of opinion, because of his ardent wish that the church of his early ehoiee may abide in the doctrine and platform that have made it a mighty power for good over an almost limitless area, and on the basis of his age, observation and experience, covering two generations.
METHODISM IN EAST MAINE.
INTRODUCTION.
By way of introduction, it may not be amiss, in brief, to sketch Methodism in the manner and time of its origin, as well as the manner and date of its coming to America. It originated inside the English church, and was not so much a secession as it was a reformation, suggested and propelled by the dead formalism and degraded condition socially, morally and religiously, of the national church.
John Wesley never, pro forma, withdrew from the church in which he was born and educated ; nor did he organize a society till four years after his ordination as a deacon.
The organization, so far as the new society took an organized form, consisted of John and Charles Wesley, Richard Morgan, and Mr. Kirkman, all collegians ; and their immediate additions were from the college departments. Six years later, George Whitefield joined them, making the number fourteen or fifteen.
Late in 1735, the brothers Wesley, came to America, as missionaries to the Indians ; and, after a passage of more than three months, they landed near Savannah, Georgia. After about two years, John Wesley returned to England, Charles having preceded him.
