ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
A host of people including faculty advisors, librarians, ministers, and holiness lay members contributed to the successful conclusion of this study. Among those I would like to thank specifically are: Dr. Dudley Cornish, my major advisor whose constructive criticism and encouragement were most helpful; the library staff at Pittsburgh State University and Drew University, and to many other universities, theological seminaries, state historical societies, and church archives without whose help I could not have completed my work. But most of all I must acknowledge my indebtedness to my parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Fankhauser, for their untiring support and especially to my mother for doing all my typing.
