Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1881, Vol. 63 The Christian Church is growing richer in biography from age to age. It is a principle Of the divine economy that the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. While this is primarily true of the remembrance which God cherishes of his own, however little they may be thought of by an nu sympathetic world, yet it also has its application to the Church, which delights to preserve the memory Of her holy men and women. The Methodist Episcopal Church has always manifested a commendable interest in properly written memoirs of her de ceased Bishops. But, unfortunately, in several instances there has been either a lack of data attainable for the production of such memoirs, or a lack of interest or industry on the part of surviving friends in preparing them.
