Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Annual Publication of the Historical Society of the North Carolina Conference, Methodist Episcopal Church, South These men were entirely unselfish in their ministry. They sent out no pioneers hunting golden placers, ran no lines of circumvallation, built no fortresses on rich alluvial sites, hung not around commercial centers waiting for goodly openings; but in the city and in the wilderness raised the cry: Repent, for the kingdom of God is at hand. The charge that they were turning the world upside down never moved them. Mountains towered and rivers rolled in vain to stop them. They wrestled with floods of water, but neither floods of water nor floods of ungodly men made them afraid. They slept by camp-fires, saddles their pillows, the heavens their covering; explored forests, traversed sand hills, their dainties the homeliest fare, their theme Jesus and the Resurrection, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.
