More DescriptionIt has seemed fitting to gather into this permanent form some of the memorials of the Freewill Baptist Centenary.The principal portion of the volume is composed of papers that were especially prepared to be read at the Centennial Conference in 1880, but with the probability that they would be preserved in their present shape. These include the Conference sermon, the exercises at the meeting of aged ministers, and the historical sketches of the missionary, educational, anti-slavery, temperance and Sunday school work of the denomination. The others, excepting the poems but including the tables at the close of the volume, were primarily prepared for the book where they now first appear.The papers have been written by different individuals, and although they treat of branches of work that were closely related, yet it is believed that repetition has been in the main avoided, while unity has been preserved.
