PREFACE
THE first issue of The Methodist Who's Who was surrounded by special
difficulties ; but the sale of the book showed how much it was appre
ciated in all parts of the country. The Second Edition was much
enlarged, and had even greater success. To the present issue large
additions have been made which bring the Methodism of our Colonies
and the United States into intimate touch with the Methodism of
our own country and the Mission field. Warm congratulations and
expressions of interest have been received from all parts of the globe.
The English lists of ministers and laymen have also been much
extended.
The brief biographies contain details as to each man's personal
history, his public work, his church life, his writings, studies, recrea
tions, and other points of interest. Such pages will make ministers
and people better known to each other, and will bind together the
various branches of the Methodist family. The book makes a wider
appeal to members of other Churches and to all who wish to know
something about Methodist men of the time. They will find here
much information which can be gained nowhere else.
One American reviewer carefully examined 1,600 entries and
found that the most popular recreations were : ' Cycling, 253 ; golf,
192 ; walking, 175 ; gardening, 98 ; cricket, 80 ; photography, 75 ;
fishing, 68 ; music, 66 ; tennis, 66 ; reading, 65 ; travel, 50 ; motor
ing, 37 ; chess, 34 ; hunting, 29 ; swimming, 21 ; horseback-riding,
9 ; driving, 9. It seems that the crowning fondness is for cycling — a
sport, by the way, which is little followed in America. We believe that
in America the favourite recreations are hunting, fishing, and garden
ing. Some very unusual recreations are mentioned. Three subjects
confess their partiality for Freemasonry ; three, hard work ; four,
collecting portraits and autographs ; five, collecting Wesleyana ;
one, naval history ; one, numismatics ; one, psychic research ; one,
inventing ; one, collecting stamps ; two, works of God ; four, public
work ; one, bee-keeping. The strangest recreation recorded is that
of reading Annual Conference Minutes.'
The utmost pains have been taken to secure accuracy ; but we
cannot hope to have escaped all mistakes. Any corrections sent
to 25-35 City Road, London, E.C., will be valued. It is hoped that
The Methodist Who's Who will become a household friend, and establish
its claim to a long life of influence and prosperity.
