Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrines and Discipline of the United Evangelical Church: Formulated by the General Conference of 1894, Held in Naperville, Ill In the year 1796, Jacob Albright, yearning for the salvation of his spiritually neglected German-speaking brethren, started out, as a humble layman, to preach to them the Gospel of Christ. His labors extended over large portions of Pennsylvania, and into parts of Maryland and Virginia, and resulted in the saving of many souls. He had, originally, no thought of founding a new religious organization, but finally, in 1800, he yielded to the oft repeated and urgent requests of those whom he had led to the Lord, and began the work of organization. Three classes, in as many counties of Pennsylvania, were then organized. In Novem ber, 1803, at a council composed of Mr. Albright, his two assistants and fourteen of the leading men of the Association, Mr. Albright was, in the name of the whole Association, declared a genuine evangelical preacher, and solemnly ordained as such.
