Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Souvenir History of the New England Southern Conference, Vol. 1 of 3: New Bedford District
This History calls attention anew (as many a pastor has found in searching for historical data) to the very important Disciplinary ques tion, Are the records properly kept? Many cases have come under my observation where great and important church projects have been carried out, but not a line can be found in the church records concern ing them. Doubtless many a pastor will look in vain for some refer ence to a successful work done in a former charge - simply because the present pastor in preparing the historical sketch for this work found nothing on the records to indicate such a work.
The pictures of distinguished Methodist ministers formerly mem bers of our Conference will be an interesting feature. More will ap pear in Volumes II. And III. We doubt if there is another such a Conference in Methodism that has furnished other Conferences with SO many of their ablest ministers.
