he might devote his energies to the conduct of the business matters connected with the mission, and at the same time do all that he could for the salvation of souls. He soon became an efficient and valuable agent in the management of the mission. "When the eastern and western branches of the church united, the eastern branch had missions in Western India, and at Cape Verde, where a number of missionaries are employed. "Later, when the Holiness Church of Christ, an organization in the South, united with us, its missions in Mexico, Japan, Africa, and elsewhere, became part of our foreign work."
Phineas F. Bresee A PRINCE IN ISRAEL By E. A. Girvin CHAPTER 23 The General Superintendency -- A Providential Helper -- Extension of the Work -- Rapid Growth of the Movement -- Special Meetings -- Bud Robinson -- Dedication of the New Church in Berkeley -- Rev. W. A. Wilson -- A Great Anniversary Service The General Superintendency Dr. Bresee thus expressed himself in regard to this important subject: "In the organization of the church it was undertaken to make it neither Episcopalian, nor Congregational nor Presbyterian, but a mingling of all of these polities, bringing in much of Congregationalism, some such centralization as is given by presbyteries and synods, and sufficient general superintendency to bind the whole together and make it effective, with such limitations of power as would preserve the efficiency without the dangers. Thus came what is known as the superintendency of the church. "In the beginning the work of superintendency in the Church of the Nazarene naturally centered in me; and, taking charge of the First church as pastor, I began as providential openings developed, to attend to the work of further organization. When our organization had assumed sufficient proportions to become a District, I for the time, attended to the duties of District Superintendent. As other Districts were organized, District Superintendents were elected, and I took charge of the General Superintendency up to the time of the union of the Church of the Nazarene with the Eastern churches. When this was consummated, two General Superintendents were elected, Rev. H. F. Reynolds, of New England, and myself. "During this time special emphasis was given to the heroism essential to those who were to be a part of and workers in this movement. There was no effort to proselyte from other churches. Ministers and laymen who turned toward us were carefully warned of the great difficulties and hardships of the work. Over and over again they were told, when they asked what kind of openings there were, that we had nothing to offer but what Garabaldi offered to the Italians who might come to his standard, hunger, thirst, nakedness, death, and liberty. "After the union of the churches of the East, West, North and South, the country was divided into Districts, District Superintendents were elected, and the whole was supervised by three General Superintendents, who were elected at the General Assembly held at Nashville, Tennessee, in October, 1911. The duties devolving upon these General Superintendents demanded wide travel, both to the annual District Assemblies, and for the purpose of doing such other work as naturally came within the scope of the Superintendency. The general interests of the church had to be conserved, churches dedicated, conventions held, and the work presented and represented at campmeetings, and such other great gatherings as might be necessary for the furtherance of the movement.
