Excerpt from A History of the Methodist Church, South, in the United States IN a history confined to brief limits, only a general out line-oi leading events can be given. The leading events in the history Of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, took place, for the most part, in connection with the General Conferences. This fact has largely determined the plan and order Of treatment in the present instance. It is true, also, that in the case Of the Southern Methodist Church the action Of the various General Conferences has been, throughout, representative, in a singular degree, Of the thoughts, views, and status Of the membership at large. But for these considerations the scheme Of treatment ac cording to General Conferences might seem arbitrary and artificial.
