Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minutes of the Sixteenth Session of the Western North Carolina Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South: Held in Greensboro, N. C., November Eighth to Thirteenth, 1905 In the social circle he was very agreeable. He was a charm ing conversationalist, and always pleasant in the home circle. He never forgot the gravity and dignity of his high calling, and hence was an excellent pastor. His visits brought sunshine and good cheer to many sad and aching hearts. He was always and everywhere truly a man of God. As a preacher he was far above the average. As a revivalist he was a great success. Many hundreds were converted and brought into the church through his ministry. He was a man of uncommon power as a doctrinal preacher. In his field it was often necessary to defend the doctrines of the church. This he could do with ability and safety. In debate he feared no Opponent. He was a man of broad mind and large heart. He read good literature and was a diligent student of God's word. He believed with all his heart that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. His life was a practical demonstration of the saving power of the gospel. He accepted and taught without mental reservation the entire Methodist creed, and always stood ready to give a reason for the faith that was in him. But withal, he was broad, liberal and fraternal with Christians of other communions. Brother Bowman had the trying experience to be thrown, rather late in life, into new territory, and among new pe0p1e, by the adjustment of Conference boundaries. But he was equal to the emergency and adjusted himself to the new conditions with ease and grace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
