Excerpt from Who's Who in American Methodism If the Gentle Reader find not in this book the name of his friend whom he regards of suficient prominence to be mentioned in who 's who IN american methodism, let him reflect that not all those nominated have honored us with the information we have requested concerning their life-records; and of those failing thus to respond it has been possible to include in the book only the most prominent leaders, whose biographies may be found in the files of the church papers. And if his friend has been overlooked in this process, let him be consoled with the hope that a later edition of this book may somewhat reduce the imperfections in evitable in the first edition of a work of this nature. To that end we eagerly invite suggestions from the Gentle Reader for improvement in the book, the broadening of its personnel and the elimination of errors and inaccuracies. We are grateful to all who have assisted in making the book possible; to all nominators for their nominations, to those nominees who have so generouv furnished information requested of them, and especially to Dr. James R. J'oy, editor of The Christian Advocate (new York), for the initial suggestions and plans from which this work has developed, and to Mr. William Rhinehart Barbour for most valuable advice and assist ance in producing it in this form.
