In the foregoing list, we have 251 preachers, who were admitted on trial to travel and preach.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se being added to the former number, make 1249 who have traveled as Methodist preachers in<br />

the United States of America, including also that part of Canada which is supplied with preachers<br />

who are under the direction of our conference.<br />

I have taken no account of the preachers who have begun to travel since the year 1806, as I could<br />

not in all cases tell whether they were yet on trial, or in full connection.<br />

Thus far the Lord hath prospered us, and the number of preachers which have been raised up<br />

among us far exceeds our former expectation. It is now just 40 years since the first Methodist<br />

preachers were sent to America; they came over in 1769, of course it is now (1809) forty years. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

have also been raised up amongst us in the course of the same time more than 3000 local preachers.<br />

This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes.<br />
