From my early youth he was upheld by members of my family as an exemplary preacher. It was as his name was mentioned in prayer at our family altar that I received my personal call to the Christian ministry. Brief acquaintance with Morrison during his intermittent visits to the campus while I was a student at Asbury Theological Seminary increased my interest in knowing more about this man. The two full-length books purporting to tell his life's story left me feeling as though I had been presented torn fragments of a picture, many parts of which were still missing. The discovery, in 1946, of Morrison's diaries opened the door of research in an effort to answer my questions. This research culminated in a doctoral dissertation, "The Life, Theology, and Influence of Henry Clay Morrison," presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Oklahoma. The present publication is based entirely upon the previous research. I am greatly indebted to the officials of the Pentecostal Publishing Company, Asbury College, and Asbury Theological Seminary for the many courtesies they have shown me. I also wish to express appreciation to my major professor, Dr. John S. Ezell and to Dr. Alfred B. Sears, also of the history department v vi I Henry Clay Morrison Crusader Saint of the University of Oklahoma. My greatest debt, however, is to my wife, Marjorie MacKellar Wesche. Without her moral support and encouragement both in the original research and now during the period of re-writing, the work could not have been brought to completion. Percival A. Wesche Nampa, Idaho July, 1963 Chapter 1 Boyhood Days If the possession of an honorable ancestry is a real asset then Henry Clay Morrison should have started life in a highly favored position. According to their family tradition the word {{Morrison" was derived from {{Morris" who was the founder of one of the Highland clans in Scotland. It was developed from the name {(Mores/" which was the name of the grandson of a Norwegian king who was supposed to have been among the Norse invaders of Scotland.' Morrison's ancestors moved from Scotland to Ireland, and it was from this country that his great-great-grandfather, John o. Morrison, migrated to the American Colonies in time to join the Patriots in the Revolutionary War. He gave his life for this cause in the Battle of Brandywine. The great-grandfather, William Ogden Morrison, migrated to Virginia and settled on a large acreage in Barren County, Kentucky, near what is now the city of Glasgow. Not being content to live in the rough frontier fashion he built one of the first brick houses to be constructed in that section of the country. It was on a portion of this large farm that William B. Morrison was living when he opened his home to two orphaned grand-children, Emma and Henry Morrison. 1 2 I Henry Clay Morrison Crusader Saint A glance at the maternal lineage does not change the character of Morrison's ancestry. Great-great-grandfather John Durham was of English stock. Coming to this country he settled first in Virginia, but later migrated to central Kentucky, where he established his home in the Bluegrass Region of Boyle County. He was a devout Methodist and "it was in his home that the first Methodist Society in Kentucky was organized." The Durham family grew and prospered until they became wealthy slave owners. Emily, the mother of Henry Morrison, was the daughter of Thomas Durham. She was born in Danville, Kentucky, and was reared in a devout Methodist home, which was known as {(the haven for the circuit riders."2 Both of Henry's parents had been previously married. His father, James Scott Morrison married a Miss Blake. She died when their son Charles was three years old. As a young woman, Emily Durham had met and married William H. English, a member of a prominent Indiana family. They made their home in Westport, Kentucky, where their four children were born. Some time after her husband's death, Emily met and later married James Morrison. It was into this household that the subject of this study was born. Four children were born into the Morrison family, only two of whom lived to grow to maturity; a sister, Emma, who made her appearance on March 14, 1855, and Henry Clay,

    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 .

  • Cumulative Index to Volume S 51 to 60
    ISSN 0043-2873 (Print) ISSN 2632-4466 (Online) PROCEEDINGS OF THE WESLEY HISTORICAL SOCIETY Cumulative Index to Volumes 51 to 60 Prepared by Dr Christine E. Jones INTRODUCTORY NOTE This index to Volumes 51-60 of the Proceedings is a sequel to the General Index to volumes 31 to 50 compiled by John Vickers and published in 1997. It follows closely the style and conventions of its predecessor in that volume numbers are given in Arabic numerals and printed in bold. However, references to publications are now in italics rather than underlined. As before, there are separate indexes to contributors and their articles and to illustrations. There is also an index to book reviews, arranged by author. However, the layout in this index has been altered to correspond to that of the individual indexes to volumes 56 to 60, starting with the Index to Illustrations, then the Index to Contributors and Articles (by author), followed by General Index, and finally the Index to Book Reviews. In the case of extended references, the first and last page numbers are given. The letter ’n’ has been used to draw attention to information located in a footnote. Also like its predecessor, the cumulative index is based on the biennial volume indexes compiled originally by John A. Vickers (volumes 51-55) and Mary Madden (volumes 56-60). Thanks are due to them for their diligence, and to John McCartney (Proceedings Distribution Manager) for providing hard copies of those indexes from which to compile the current work. Errors and omissions are the responsibility of the current indexer and compiler.
