Methodist Class 1854

In the current issue of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate appears the first
installment of a sketch of the class of the Methodist conference of 1854,
written by Rev. Geo. G.N. MacDonell, the presiding elder of the Columbus
district of the Methodist church.  The class of young ministers admitted to the
church in 1854 was an unusually large one, numbering 23 members.  Rev. Mr.
MacDonell says that only one class, that of 1858, when 27 young preachers were
admitted was larger than this.  This class of ’54 furnished to the Methodist
church a number of men destined to become widely known, among them being Bishop
Fitzgerald.  It may be of interest to know that Bishop Fitzgerald was formerly a
printer, and admits that he still has a taste for journalism.  The article is
written in Rev. Mr. MacDonell’s usual lucid, interesting style.  He himself was
a member of that class, and hence is well qualified to write sketches of its
members. – Columbus Enquirer-Sun
