Excerpt from Methodism in Poughkeepsie and Vicinity: Its Rise and Progress From 1780 to 1892, With Sketches and Incidents, a Brief Summary of Other Religious Denominations
This question will naturally be asked by many who read this volume.
Methodism is a term usually applied to the system of doctrines and general plans of economy held and professed by the Wesleyan Methodists of England and elsewhere - notably by the Methodist Episcopal Churches of the United States of America.
Many mistake the origin of Methodism and its primitive character, by the name it now bears, and the period when that name was given it.

Excerpt from Methodism in Poughkeepsie and Vicinity: Its Rise and Progress From 1780 to 1892, With Sketches and Incidents, a Brief Summary of Other Religious Denominations
This volume is largely devoted to the History of Methodism in Poughkeepsie
The writer, now in the 64th year of his connection with the Washington Street M. E. Church, has long felt that some more permanent record than hitherto existed, should be available to the Methodists of this city.
The book is not intended as a boast, is not prompted by any spirit of rivalry, or egotism.
"Let him that glorieth glory in the Lord."
What Methodism is, is of God, and we only boast of God's tender love and infinite mercy, in an instrumentality that has gathered a vast number of harvest sheaves.
Without any reflection on past history or persons, it is only truthful to say, that Methodism in its early beginning in Poughkeepsie, was hardly a "welcome guest."
Its introduction and history confirm the fact.
It was only after a severe struggle of several years that it found a lodgment
Its infancy was feeble, and its growth comparatively slow. Its friends multiplied, and it came to stay.
In seventy years it has made a steady, and a sturdy advance. It is quite equal in numbers to-day, to any Protestant church in the city.
It has many years to grow before it reaches the age of several of our sister churches
It is young, compared with our "Reformed Churches," which have held occupancy here 170 years; and our Episcopal brethren whose existence dates back 126 years.
No partiality can be justly alleged against the author of this book in devoting so much space to the "Mother Church of Episcopal Methodism" in Poughkeepsie, viz: the Washington street Methodist Episcopal Church: The writer knows "this" church, as he has never known any other. With most of the recorded list of members, herein, he was personally intimate. All have passed away but three.
