And if you'd remarked that even in this historic Pipe Creek community (30 miles northwest of Baltimore) people don't usually go about dressed like this, you'd have been absolutely right. These are descendants of the builder of the log dwelling, steeping them- selves in its lore for their part in the Methodist historical fashion show pictured on pages 26 and 27. That building holds great significance for all Methodists. Records say it was here, in this home, where John Evans lived some 200 years ago. Here, it is claimed, the first Methodist class meeting in America was held in the mid-i76os. Eight attended, including Robert Straw- bridge, the Irish-born lay preacher who brought Methodism to Maryland and who lived nearby [see The Three Roots of American Methodism, November, 1959, page 25]. John Evans—no known relation to the John Evans of later Illinois and Colorado fame [see John Evans, April, page 32] —was one of the neighbors who took care of Strawbridge's plowing, planting, and harvesting while the preacher was out spreading the Gospel. Mrs. Strawbridge fed the friends who helped so generously, and it was while Evans was dining there that she persuaded him to be- come a Christian.

  • Methodism in Hungary 1898-1920
    Methodist History, 47:3 (April 2009) Methodism in Hungary ZOLTÁN KOVÁCS 1898-1920: The Antecedents of Methodist Mission in Hungary and the “Macedonian Call” The first representatives of Methodism in Hungary were Matthew Simpson, a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and William Fairfield Warren, a minister of the New England Conference in 1857 after attending the World Convention of the Evangelical Alliance in Berlin, Germany. Enroute to Constantinople and Palestine following the convention, they interrupted their journey to spend a weekend in the Hungarian capital, Pest-Buda, at invitation of some anti-Habsburg opposition leaders they had met in Germany.1 Five years later Warren, then Professor at the Methodist Episcopal Missionary Institute in Berlin and Ludwig Sigismund Jacoby, founder and superintendent of the Germany Missionary conference, stopped again in Pest-Buda for three days. They were hosted by Adrian van Andel, a former Methodist lay minister in Hamburg who pastored the German-speaking Reformed Affiliated Church in the Hungarian capital.2 Despite these early positive encounters, a perma- nent Methodist work was not established in Hungary until the 1890s. Two circumstances appear to have influenced the beginning of missionary activities at that time. Probably the most important local factor was a group of Swabian men in the Bácska region of southern Hungary. A schoolteacher sub- scribed to Der Christliche Apologete, a periodical published in Cincinnati/Ohio, through which the Christian based temperance circles of Újverbász (Vrbas in Serbia today) and Bácsszenttamás (Srbobran) had learned of Methodism and decided to contact a Methodist minister. The first two attempts to establish a relationship failed, but the young pastor of Vienna, Robert Möller was willing to respond to the invitation.

To My Dear Mother from whom I derived my first conception of all that is most beautiful in woman PREFACE URING the century now drawing to its close there have appeared in America from time to time women of so pre-eminent a beauty, so dazzling a wit, so powerful a magnetism, that their names belong no less to the history of their country than those of the men whose genius has raised it to the rank it holds to-day among the nations of the earth. Among them have been women of the highest type of mental and moral development, women of great political and of great social genius, all of whom have left the impress of their remarkable personalities upon their time. When they have manifested these qualities in their girlhood they have risen frequently to an emi- nence such as it is scarcely possible for the women of any other country to attain at a correspondingly early age.
