Excerpt from Lectures and Addresses
About eleven years ago the author of these Lectures and Addresses made his first appearance before an American audience in the city of New York. The object of his visit to this land was that he might help raise a building fund for the erection of a new Methodist church in the city whence he had come - Port Elizabeth, Cape of Good Hope, where nearly ten years of his life had been spent. The method he adopted for the raising of this fund was the delivery of lectures in different cities of the United States and Canada. He came, we might say, all but unannounced, a stranger to a strange land; but he had not appeared many times as a public speaker before his lectures were attended with no inconsiderable success, being heard with evident interest at least by that portion of the public forming the membership of the Methodist Church.
Though he came without the anticipation of ever finally making his home in America, it was not many months before two or three congregations, recognizing his power as a preacher as well as a platform speaker, extended invitations to him to become their pastor. The invitation of Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church, of Baltimore, he accepted; of which charge he was appointed pastor in March, 1872.
