Book excerpt: Excerpt from Circuit-Rider Days in Indiana The Minutes of the old Indiana Conference, have never been published, and since they cover the impor tant years, from 1832 to 1844, the years in which In diana Asbury University was founded, and also the years in which Matthew Simpson and Edward R. Ames were active in its councils, it was thought that the centennial year was an appropriate time to give these Minutes to the Methodists of Indiana. Accordingly the second, and largest part of this volume is devoted to these Minutes. They have been edited with notes, which it is hoped will explain all things necessary for their intelligent reading by an Indiana Methodist.
