Excerpt from A Brief History of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Spring City, Pa: Together With Sketches of the Other Leading Churches of the Town At a Quarterly Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church held at Spring City, Pa., January 33, 1897, the author of this little volume was appointed to write up the history of the Spring City Methodist Episcopal Church. Had it not been for the admiration he has for the church of his choice, and for the ardent love which he has for the Lord, he could not have been induced to undertake such a laborious task. In many cases the records of the church are not to be found. This then gave rise to an additional source of anxiety, since the memory of those of longest existence hereabouts had to be so frequently consulted. In many instances people differ greatly in their remembrance of the dates and facts connected with certain events. An earnest effort has been made to sift the truth from these sources, and to tell it in language which is devoid of high-sounding technicalities. The aim has been to present to the readers of this volume, in as compact form as possible, a collection of material for future reference, as well as for present perusal. Many of the facts herein contained would, in a few years, forever have been buried in oblivion. Accuracy of facts and dates has also been attempted.
