Description

Finley has received Young's letter pertaining to a possible Bishop McKendree memorial. Finley says McKendree richly deserves the honor, but he is doubtful that the south would allow them to do it. Finley is feeling sorry for himself due to the abuse he endured at the hands of Brother Moody and company at the 1850 Ohio annual conference in Chillicothe. Finley had argued that promiscuous seating (men and women together) should be allowed, causing Moody to call him a "dying prophet." He will never attend another conference, for he cannot associate with men who have no confidence in him. Finley says that he hates to see brethren who ought to be doing the work of God causing such discontent. Nevertheless, he will do what he can to assist with the monument. Abstract Number - 478
