Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Nebraska Methodism, First Half-Century, 1854-1904 State Methodist Historical Society, in 1902, the author was requested to prepare such a history. As correspond ing secretary of the society I had already spent more than a year collecting material and had made a study of this material for a sketch of our history for the J. Sterling Morton History of Nebraska, now being published. I accepted the task with fear and trembling, having even then some conception of its magnitude and a'keen sense of inadequacy, but with a conviction that some one ought at once to perform that service. I have found the undertaking much larger and' the difficulties greater than I anticipated. I can only say that for three years, with much pleasure and profit, I have wrought diligently at the task. That the result is satisfactory to myself, or will be above just criticism by others, I do not claim. But such as it is, I send it forth on its mission, praying that God may use it for good notwithstanding its defects.
