Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Origin and Progress of the German Missions in the Methodist Episcopal Church: Including an Account of the Christian Experience of Some of the Converts From Popery and Infidelity, as Furnished by Themselves
It may indeed be thought out of the ordinary course, to publish a history of these missions at this early period of their existence. But when we look at the extraordinary work of grace which has been wrought, and at what re mains to be done ere the thousands of our Ger man population are brought under the influence of the Gospel of Christ, we deem it, as before remarked, our duty to give these accounts to the Christian public, in order to excite them to greater diligence and zeal in this glorious cause. There are many persons who, calthough they have frequently read of German missions, in detached and scattered fragments, yet have very incorrect views of their general character and importance; and who frequently ask the ques tion, Can any thing be done, on an extensive scale, for the Roman' Catholic and infidel Ger mans? Or, Are many of them converted under the labors of our missionaries? Such questions will be answered in the following pages. That the blessing of the great Head of the Church may accompany the perusal of the fol lowing pages, is the author's sincere prayer'.
