Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Methodism in Missouri for a Decade of Years From 1860 to 1870, Vol. 3 During the war period the operations of the Church in her va rious departments of usefulness were well-nigh suspended, and there is but little else than a sad history of the severe and cruel trials through which he was called to pass in the mysterious providence of God, and in ultich she maintained her fidelity to him. This history. However, is of paramount importance to know how she passed through the fiery ordeal of the fierce and de structive persecution of four years' duration. To know how she submitted to the dispensations of Divine Providence, uncomplain lagly and without a murmur; how she took joyfully the spoiling of her goods; how they, like Christ and St. Stephen, prayed for their enemies in the agony of the last hour, while they were apo plying the instruments of torture and death. To pass over this history in silence would be great injustice to the cause of truth and righteousness, great injustice to those who lived and suffered and died in the Church and for the Church, great injustice ii) the rel ativa and friends of those who suffered martyrdom for Christ and his Truth, as well as great injustice to the present and future gen erations. Such an omission would call down the condemnation of all right-minded people upon the historian. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
