  • Description
  • "One reason for the compilation of this volume has been the conviction that a detailed history of a small Methodist Society, such as the Anne Ashley Memorial Church has been and is, over a period of a century, during most of which time it has been on Circuits, may be of large value, not only as a record, but as a picture of Methodism at work; a picture painted against the background of the Methodist system as it has been, as it has changed, and as it is. In other words, this volume presents the Anne Ashely Memorial Church as a typical Methodist Society. To understand it in all of its aspects and relationships is to understand Methodism better. "
