Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life and Work of the Most Reverend John Medley, D. D., ?rst Bishop of Fredericton and Metropolitan of Canada
The writer has ventured upon this work at the suggestion of many whose opinions and wishes are greatly valued. The brief history of the Church in earlier years will, it is believed, be of interest. By very many throughout the Anglican Communion the name of John Medley, the first Bishop of Fredericton, is well known, and held in high regard. His life and work are worthy of enduring record.
The writer had the opportunity, in his-early years, of personal knowledge of much to which he has referred in those pages. He was a Divinity Student at the time of the Bishop's arrival in the Diocese, and was the first Deacon he ordained. For fourteen years, with rare exceptions, he was associated almost daily with the Bishop. AS Secretary of the Diocesan Church Society, for more than forty years, he was present with him at all the meet ings of that Society. In later years, in charge of a Parish at some distance from Fredericton, the writer was favoured with frequent visits.
