Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of Wesleyan Methodism in Didsbury: A Paper When I undertook to prepare the following Paper, I did not anticipate its appearance in permanent form, and it is only in response to the solicitations of many friends that it is now published. I trust, however, that a perusal of this Record - imperfect though it is - of the past successes of Methodism, may serve as an encouragement to the workers in this portion of the Lord's vineyard, and stimulate them to further labours on behalf of our cause; in which case its publication will not have been in vain. To my brother, who has furnished the illustrations which lend interest to the Paper, and to those who have supplied me out of Memory's storehouse with their recollections of bygone days, I tender my warmest thanks. If I have omitted to mention any persons whose names ought to have found a place in a Paper such as this, the omission has been unintentional, and I must ask those who knew them to rest satisfied with the assurance that their record is on high, and that their "work shall be manifest, for the day shall declare it."
