Excerpt from History of Methodism in Oklahoma, Vol. 1: Story of Indian Mission Annual Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South; 1935 The first great mission of the Methodist Church in the United States was to the Indians. The purpose of this book is to give a story of that mission from its beginning in the East in 1820 until the close of the Indian Mission Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South in 1896. After the division of the Metho dist Church in 1844, this story will deal especially with the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. In 1910 when the Oklahoma Conference, succes sor to the Indian Mission Conference, was divided into the East Oklahoma Conference and the West Oklahoma Conference, the East Oklahoma Conference fell heir to all the records and history of the Indian Mission Conference. The East Oklahoma Conference at its session in 1926 appointed the Reverend J ohn Y. Bryce to prepare for publication a history of Methodism in Oklahoma. In response to that request, with much labor and expense, he gathered together the broken fragments of the labors of the men of the church dur ing the period. When the two Conferences were united under the name, Oklahoma Conference, the Reverend Sidney H. Babcock was added to the Historical Commission and asked to aid in the preparation of the history. His task was to organize the material assembled, relate it to contemporaneous history and weave the story. The Methodist Church had a vital part in the maintenance of order, the promotion of education and the building of a civilization during the constant changes that were occasioned by the efforts of the United States government first, to colonize the Indians in a territory all their own, and aid the various tribes to set up governments under their own national coun cils; and then, to undo all that had been done by de stroying the national integrity of the various Indian nations and uniting them under the Stars and Stripes.
