Philip Embury's Preaching Mission at Chesterfield, New Hampshire by Arthur Bruce Moss 1'-, '1, •• , In the fall of 1772 Philip Embury conducted a preaching mission at Chesterfield, New Hampshire, 1 answering the urgent invitation of James Robertson, one of the early settlers in the interior of Cheshire County. Robertson had been deeply moved by reports he had received concerning the spiritual power of the Methodist society that Embury had established in 1770 in the Salem-Camden Valley area, New York, forty .,~ miles northeast of Albany.2 i i, Embury and a number of Methodist Irish-Palatines3 had removed with their families from New York City to take up a lease-hold upon the I' extensive Duane Tract in Camden Valley.4 Thomas Ashton, a Methodist ~. .. 1.

George I. Seney, Esq. My Dear Sir : In committing to the press this concluding volume of the " History of the Methodist Episcopal Church," I would grate- fully acknowledge my obligations to you. If I have succeeded, to any satisfactory degree, in my task, it has been largely owing to the reliefs which your kind attentions have afforded me from cares and anxieties, that would have seriously interfered with it. Your honored father appears briefly in my narrative ; the first collegiately-educated native preacher of his Church, except Fisk, and a man of most sterling talents and character, the friend and colaborer of Bangs, Emory, Soule, Ostran- der, Rice, and the other strong men of the second generation of American Methodist preachers, he will be one of the most interesting subjects of the later history of his denomination. The Church is happy to recognize in you the worthy son of so worthy a father. It finds, in this its third generation, the descendants of its early and heroic itinerants not only thronging its ministry, but founding, on enduring financial bases, its educational and other great institutions.

  • Notes and Documents
    NOTES AND DOCUMENTS MORE WINANS RECOLLECTIONS William Winans, the pioneer Methodist itinerant preacher of Dr.Mississippi whose "Recollections of Boyhood Years in Southwest- ern Pennsylvania, 1788— 1804," were published in the last issue of this magazine, 1 recorded in his "Autobiography" other experiences and ob- servations that are herewith presented as also of special interest to west- ern Pennsylvanians. Itwillbe remembered that, after spending the winter and spring of 1813—14 in New Orleans, in an effort to establish Methodism there, Dr. Winans returned to his former Natchez and Claiborne circuits in Mississippi, embarking for the river trip to Natchez early in July on the pioneer river steamboat "New Orleans," or "Orleans" as Dr. Winans has it, about three years after the construction and launching of that historic vessel at Pittsburgh. Here is his account of what befell on that trip: — Ihad taken passage in the Steamer Orleans Ibelieve the first steamer that was ever upon the Mississippi River, Capt. De Hart, Commander, for Natchez; which Port it was calculated we should be able to reach in Eight— days. This,—at that time was considered expeditious traveling; and the fare very cheap it was only $30. This Steamer was the hulk of an old sailing vessel, fitted up for the purpose of being impelled by steam. It was too deep in its draught, and was by no means calculated for cutting the water very rapidly. The berths were bunks let into the sides of the hull. The engine was a lowpressure engine of no great power, had it been in first rate running order, which it was not by any means.

  • Methodist Beginnings in Kentucky, 1783-1845
    Methodist Beginnings in Kentucky, 1783-1845 Kenneth Cain Kinghorn Many of the early English Colonists in North America elieved that the Pacific Ocean washed up against the western side of the Allegheny Mountains. The first ventures of eplorers over the mountains into Kentucky were often for the purpose of finding a way to the Pacific Ocean. In 19 Roert La SaUe and others egan to eplore Kentucky, in search of a passage to the western waters. or the net half-century after La Salle's eplorations along the Ohio River, only a few rare epeditions ventured into the area. But eventually other eplorers egan voyages down the Ohio River to peek into the Western territory.
