Emory, John, D.D., a bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was born in Queen Anne County, Marj'land, April 11,1789. After completing his aca- demical education at Washington College, he studied law, and was admitted to the bar at nineteen 3'ears of age. His great ability was soon manifest; he came rapidly into practice, and had every prospect of early success. But he had passed through a decided religious experience before his admission to the l>ar, and soon after decided, in opposition to the will of his father, to enter the ministry. In 1810 he was received on trial in the Pliiladelphia Conference of the Methodist Epis- copal Church. lie soon established a reputation for pre-eminence in all the qualities of a true Christian minister. From 1813 to 182-1 he filled the most impor- tant pastoral stations in the Methodist Connection in America, his appointments being as follows : 1811, Cambridge Circuit; 1812, Talbot Circuit; 1813-14, Philadelphia ; 1815, Wilmington ; 1816-17, Union Church, Philadelphia; 1818-19, Washington; 1820- 21, Annapolis ; 1822, Hagerstown ; 1823, Baltimore. In 181G he was elected to the General Conference, and he was a member of every subsequent General Confer- ence until his death, except that of 1824. In 1820 he was sent as a delegate from the American to the Brit- ish Conference, and discharged the delicate duties of his mission to the entire satisfaction of the churches. From 1824 to 1832 he was book-agent and editor for the Methodist Episcopal Church at New York. In this post his rare combination of intellectual power and cul- ture with business habits was pre-eminently displayed. To none of the eminent men who have held this office is the Methodist Book Concern more indebted for its present greatness than to Dr. Emory. In the lan- guage of Bishop Waugh, " The two great objects which Dr. Emory aimed to accomplish were, first, the extin- guishment of the debts due from the concern, and, sec- ond, the actual sale of the stock on hand, and especial- ly that part of it which was daih' depreciating, because of the injuries which were constantlj' being sustained hj it, in the scattered and exposed state in which most of it was found. The ability, skill, diligence, and per- severance which he displayed in the measures devised by him for the accomplishment of these objects have seldom been equaled, and perhaps never surpassed by the most practiced business man. His success was complete. Before the meeting of the General Confer- ence he had canceled all the obligations of the institu-. tion which had been so opportunely intrusted to his su- pervision. He had greatly enlarged the annual divi- dends to an increased number of conferences. He had purchased several lots of ground for a more enlarged and eligible location of the establishment, and had erected a large four storj' brick building as a part of the improvements intended to be put on them, for the whole of which he had paid. It was his high honor, and also his enviable satisfaction, to report to the Gen- eral Conference, for the first time, that its Book Con- cern was no longer in debt." He originated the "Publishing Fund" and "The Methodist Quarterly Review," and abolished entirely the sale of books on commission.
