Excerpt from Progress: Considered With Particular Reference to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South

A conviction that Methodism might be, With great usefulness, more closely identified With the forces of society, and expanded in the sphere Of her operations - that the time has come. When the activities of the Church ought to be enlarged - When she ought to seize upon and employ a greater number and variety of the agencies of diffusion and improvement, has induced the composition and publication of this book. Abounding, as it does, in' practical suggestions, in proposed plans and measures Of improvement, 'in avowals Of decided Opinion in respect of matters of immediate concern to the Church, the author can hardly anticipate a universal concurrence Of sentiment With him on the part of all Who may read his Work, or expect that all his views will be carried into actual practical execution - yet, he does hope to be instrumental in putting into circulation ideas that are important to the Church and society; that so many of his thoughts may find a lodgment in the public mind; that so many Of his Views may be practically embraced, as that this effort to make himself useful shall not be in vain.
