Excerpt from An Outline of Our History and Government for African Methodist Churchmen, Ministerial and Lay: In Catechetical Form, Two Parts With AppendixAnd yet, we must confess that this Outline is alto gether larger than we proposed making it when we began. We may be said to have overshot the mark. We had in tended to have addressed ourselves chie¿y to the Children of the Church but, 10 and behold, we have reached the men and the women. But let not the little ones get out of heart. They shall have an abridgment of this, in the shape of a catechism, in which they too may learn of the Church's rise and progress, and also of its present, for we expect great things of them in the future.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
