History & Biography

“The author of this book, Dr. Francis H. Tees, has rendered a vital service in preparing a volume which tells of those early days of American Methodism referred to by Bishop Asbury. Dr. Tees for nine years has been the pastor of Old St. George’s Methodist Church in Philadelphia, the oldest church in American Methodism. Despite a busy pastorate Dr. Tees has found time to examine records not always available to historical students and has presented this material in an accurate and historical attitude. Dr. Tees has done more than record historical data for readers of this volume will be inspired to emulate the courage, devotion, and warmth of heart that characterized the leaders of pioneer American Methodism. Dr. Tees has made a valuable contribution to Methodist literature.”
