==References == | <p> Jones, [[Benjamin]] (2), </p> <p> a [[Methodist]] Episcopal minister, was born at Sandwich, Mass., July 28,1786; united with the Church in 1805; entered the New York [[Conference]] in 1809; was made presiding elder in 1820; was delegate to the General Conference in 1832 and in 1840; was by poor health superannuated in 1846; and died at Lincolnville, Me., July 18, 1850, aged 64. Mr. Jones was a man of more than ordinary ability and influence. His preaching was bold, sustained, and independent; dealing in truthful logic and the word of God rather than fancy, and very strong in argument. His efforts were often eloquent in the highest degree. '''''—''''' Conf. Min. 4, 606; Stevens, Memorials of Methodism, chap. 42. (G.L.T.) </p> | ||
