Before this anticipated s ervice, I was at the home of 'Mr. George Butler, the Grand r~arais High School Superintendent, enjoying rrry evening meal. Unexpectedly, a boy rushed into the house and excitedly called,"Mother wants you to come over right away and s ee a sick boy. She says you should come before you go to church." I reluctantly pushed away the dessert of bread pudding and went with the little fellow. After I saw the boy, a big fellow of 16 or 17, I suspected that his proolem might be appendiciti s. (Of course, I did not really know. I must have surmised it because I had been raised with a doctor.) I gave Mr. Rutler's boy a quarter to t ~ke this message throughout the little community,"There will be no church tonight. The preacher is taking a very sick boy to Marquette, to the hospital." Next I explained to George Butler th~t he should arrange to have the boy packed in ice, ready for transportation to the hospital. My job, I told him, was to hold the Duluth Night Express, Number Seven, which was due in Seney, Michigan, 26 miles away, in 40 minutes. \ihen I reached the depot in Seney, the headlight of the train was bearing down on us, from the east. I asked Mr . H~rold Olson, the operator in the depot, for an order to hold Number Seven f 0r 20 minutes to help us get this sick boy out of Grand Marais. He sent the message by telegraph and signed the order 30/30 which was the number of ~ railroad pass. The conductor from tl1e train who \,ras in the depot talking to the oper­ ator said to him, rnrlhy is the sie;na.1 against us? We are on time." The operator replied, !!Just a minutel We are getting an order.~ Here it is. Hold Number Seven until Doten's patient arrives. " This order for indefinite extended time was what saved the situation. '1fe had to wait 40 minutes for the patient to arrive. The passengers from the train were more than a little impatient. What were we do­ ine stopped out in this wilderness? some asked. Others used language that was definite­ ly not SQ~day School talk. But, the train stood still. lihile we were waiting for the patient, we went to a little hotel, rented a co't and a blanket and telephoned the doctor at Marquette, Michigan, 90 miles away, to have someone ready 1d th an ambulance. When the patient arrived, he appeared to need surgery so badly that I just rode with him, in the ba~gage car. After the surgery had been performed the 4ootor said to me , "Prenchc·r, that Grand Marais boy h2.d no chance i n the wo rld had you not found him. His was a. ruptured ap­ pendix." The case did not close quite t hat simply. In a delirium the boy got out of bed, before the stitches were healed. He had to have some stitches redone. In s pite of it all he lived ancl. ,,,r,nt back to his Minnesota home. (In fact he was a long, long way from home because he was visiting a cousin when we found him in this emergency situation. Of cour se not everbod.y knevr the story. Som e people complained because we had been bolri enough to oanoel church, after t hey had 1-rai ted two 1-reeke and looked forward to attending church on Thursday evening. ~vo ~eopl e wrote the Bishop and compla ied be­ cause we cancelled church. There are times when you just have to ask yourself the question, "What would Jesus do?" "In all thy l·rays acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." (Grand Marais is a fishing and resort village, 26 miles north of the railroad at Seney. The road was gravel and sand, not paved, and for the author to make Seney in lese than 40 minutes in the cars of that time, was no mean a ccomplishment. *The ar.ove excerpt is from Alvin Doten's book, ~' Q!i1! Humor, published in 1980 and 1982, and used .by the aut~or's permission. Alvin Tioten, f ather of the late Donn Doten, wn.s the home missionary or "Sky Pilot" in the Upper Peninsula, from 1927 to 1938.

From Marsden’s perspective, liberal Protestantism eased the transition from the seemingly innocent methodological perspective to the more insidious ideologi- cal variety that prevented religious themes from entering the university “market- place of ideas.” Julie Reuben, while not discounting Marsden’s argument, does complicate his perspective by looking more specifically at how religion was conceived in relation to the search for truth at major universities in this era.

    United Methodist Bishops Ordination Chain 1784 - 2012 General Commission on Archives and History Madison, New Jersey 2012 UNITED METHODIST BISHOPS in order of Election This is a list of all the persons who have been consecrated to the office of bishop in The United Methodist Church and its predecessor bodies (Methodist Episcopal Church; Methodist Protestant Church; Methodist Episcopal Church, South; Church of the United Brethren in Christ; Evangelical Association; United Evangelical Church; Evangelical Church; The Methodist Church; Evangelical United Brethren Church, and The United Methodist Church). The list is arranged by date of election. The first column gives the date of election; the second column gives the name of the bishop. The third column gives the name of the person or organization who ordained the bishop. The list, therefore, enables clergy to trace the episcopal chain of ordination back to Wesley, Asbury, or another person or church body. We regret that presently there are a few gaps in the ordination information, especially for United Methodist Central Conferences. However, the missing information will be provided as soon as it is available. This list was compiled by C. Faith Richardson and Robert D. Simpson .
