Excerpt from Handbook of the Alabama Conference Historical Society: M. E. Church, South, 1910 This handbook has been compiled for a twofold pur pose, namely, to set forth what has been done by the Ala bama Conference Historical Society, and to stimulate its members and friends to further effort. It is felt that the record of four years' activity, as set forth herein, has fully justified the foundation of the Society. This being true, the co-operation of all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in Alabama Should be given the Society in the development of its future plans. These plans involve popularization, the collection of manuscript and printed materials, the collection of relics, publications, and marking historic sites. Let every one, whether preacher or layman, respond fully and loyally to all reasonable calls, and the history, and the materials for the history of the Methodists, of Methodism and the Methodist Church in Alabama are safe.
