Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this rousing address recorded in Wesleyan Methodism's 1873 Conference Proceedings, the author provides an overview of the global reach and influence of Methodism, the diversity of its congregation, and the strategies and challenges faced by Methodist missionaries in Canada in the late 1860s and early 1870s. Drawing upon his experiences as an ordained minister working with missionaries in Canada, the author describes the successes and tribulations of his colleagues, and the needs present within the communities they serve, including challenges such as prevailing anti-Catholic sentiment and the problematic 'Chinook' language, a pidgin used by fur traders that inhibited effective Gospel translation. A testament to the resilience and determination of Canadian Methodist missionaries, this book provides a valuable historical record of their contributions to the social and religious life of the country.
