Excerpt from History of the Old Baltimore Conference From the Planting of Methodism in 1773 to the Division of the Conference in 1857
The writer of this History was admitted on trial' into the Old Baltimore Conference at its session in Hagerstown, Maryland, in March, 1853, four years before the division into the Baltimore and East Balti more Conferences. At the same session John S. Martin was elected Secretary. Five years later James E. Armstrong was selected as Assistant Secretary. These two served the Conference with entire har mony and with unsurpassed efficiency until the death of Dr. Martin in 1888. At the next session, March, 1889, James E. Armstrong was elected to succeed his much-loved co-worker; and has continued in office by unanimous vote of his Conference until this day. Thus by personal association with many of the Old Guard and by familiarity with the records of the body from the beginning, he is eminently fitted for the work he has essayed in this volume.
