Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Minutes of the Annual Conferences of the Wesleyan-Methodist Church in Canada, From 1824 to 1845 Inclusive: With Many Official Documents and Resolutions Not Before Published; To Which Is Added the Marriage Act "Methodism is Christianity in earnest." Every fragment of its history is important, and will be sought for with avidity by those who may hereafter write the history of the Churches. It is no longer considered a mere experiment, but a wise system of vital and practical godliness, the efficiency of which has long since been felt and acknowledged in most parts of the world. The Wesleyan-Methodist Church in Canada is the third and youngest branch of the Wesleyan household. Legitimately descended from the parent stock, she takes her stand on the mutually-acknowledged platform of Wesleyan identity, and rejoices to co-operate with the elder branches of the family in the great work assigned us. This volume is offered to the world as well to show her sentiments, strength, and operations, as to instruct and comfort those who are "fellow-heirs with us of like precious faith." It is both pleasing and profitable to look back upon the achievements of by-gone days, and reflect upon the labours and sacrifices of those men, through whose instrumentality, God has "turned a barren wilderness into a fruitful field, and made the desert rejoice and blossom like the rose." The Minutes of Conference contain the authentic statistics of the Church in detail; and great pains have been taken to have these statistics correct. As a book of reference, this volume will be found very useful, while the official documents it contains, and the instruction herein given to the different officers of the Church, cannot fail to be of great service to those whose duty it is to conduct the affairs of our Zion.
