Excerpt from Martin Ruter
Nothing of sectionalism marked that early Methodism. Jesse Lee, the Virginian, became the apostle of New England; Joshua Soule, of Maine, the apologist of the pro slavery region, transferred in the division of 1844 to the episcopacy of the Church South. The paramount concern of every itinerant was to preach the gospel. There was a lively, realizing sense of the wrath to come. The evangelistic seed yielded its fruit in an increase of communicants from six hundred in 1772 to fifteen thousand in 1784, and six hundred thousand in 1833.

Excerpt from Martin Ruter
In the Autobiography of Dan Young, speaking of early days in New Hampshire with Martin Ruter, there occurs this observation: "For some strange reason the history of this great, good, and distinguished man of God is much neglected, and although one of the most thorough, successful, and worthy theologians of the New World, yet the memory of his worthy deeds seems likely to be in a great measure lost." The accurate historian of Methodism, Abel Stevens, once himself a missionary to Texas, has made appreciative and frequent mention in several works of the activities of Dr. Ruter. The most extensive, though brief, account of his life has been written by his daughter, Mrs. S. R. Campbell, and appears in Summer's Sketches of Eminent Itinerant Ministers. The minutes of several Conferences contain the official record of his services for the kingdom of God. In his generation his name was as ointment poured forth in very many Methodist communities. It is a labor of love to bring this tribute, imperfect though it be, to the memory of the Rev. Martin Ruter, D.D.
