Description
Young [appointed to Cambridge Circuit, Zanesville District] responds to many questions posed by his good friend Finley [Presiding Elder, Chillicothe District]. Topics include a possible division of conferences desired by the Pittsburgh Conference, the financial circumstances of superannuated and half efficient bishops, his sense of being ostracized by younger preachers who find him old & antiquated, and continued gratitude that their stagecoach accident coming back from General Conference on June 1, 1832 was not more serious. To this day he believes that they experienced a "miraculous deliverance from the jaws of death." He reports about his work on the Cambridge Circuit. Abstract Number - 899
