(The Author does not wish tc disguise the fact that he is ...)
The Author does not wish tc disguise the fact that he is neither a high Calvinist nora Pelagian, nor even what some may call a low A rmenian, but he advocates what he believes to be a true medium ground, where true Gospel salvation is found at the point of union between divine and human agency. But to understand his views, his work must be read. That all will be satisfied with the views advocated, is not to be expected, yet it must be admitted that the work contains much important truth, common to all evangelical Christians, and though some readers may feel compelled to reject some portions, the same persons may be instructed and profited by the study of rther parts. It has cost the Author much labor, but his work is done, and he submits it to the wblic with a consciousness of an honest intention, and with his prayers that it may boa clessing tc the world. A men.

Luther Lee was born in Schoharie, New York, of humble, illiterate parents, Samuel and Hannah (Williams) Lee.
He received no schooling. An elder brother taught him to read.
From the age of thirteen Lee was dependent on his own resources. He had a vigorous, disputatious mind, however, and as occasion offered he spoke and preached at the little Methodist churches in his community. In 1827, when he was admitted to the Genesee Conference, he was too ignorant to satisfy the examining committee, but he was approved because of his power as a revivalist.
After an apprenticeship on frontier circuits in New York, he transferred to the Black River Conference in 1836, where he rapidly advanced to a position of leadership. He was a fighting reformer, a powerful debater by disposition and training, and the increasing anti-slavery agitation in the Church early caught his interest.
The assassination of Elijah Lovejoy at Alton, Illinois, late in 1837, moved him to declare himself an abolitionist. Most Methodists of that day did not take kindly to the official abolition organizations. Believing them "important links in the great chain of operations of the Presbyterian and Congregational churches, " Methodists organized societies of their own in order to "do their benevolent works in the name of their town denomination and proper character. " Accordingly, Wesleyan anti-slavery societies were formed, in the promotion of which Lee engaged with consuming zeal. His efforts were so successful that in 1838 the American Anti-Slavery Society made him their agent in western New York. Describing slavery in language "expressive of the shrieking terrors of death, the gloom of rayless despair, and the glowing fires of hell" (Autobiography, post, p. 210), he met with much violence, which he fronted dauntlessly.
In the fall of 1839 he was employed by the Massachusetts abolitionists. He now used all his influence to further the rising agitation for political anti-slavery organization. During these critical years Lee's services were frequently required to defend Methodist clergymen in church trials for participating in abolition activity. Through the board of bishops the Church was making a determined effort to thwart such activity among its ministers; but the dual nature of Methodist polity, with authority exercised both from above through the bishops, and from below through the Conferences, made a peaceful adjustment impossible wherever the Conferences protected the abolitionists. After years of increasing friction, many abolitionists withdrew, and in 1843 they organized the Wesleyan Methodist Connection of America, without an episcopacy and on an anti-slavery basis.
At the first General Conference of the new denomination, in 1844, Lee was elected president. Delegates reported fifteen thousand communicants; but the denomination never grew larger. That same year Northern Methodists precipitated a division in the Church on the slavery issue, and there were no more secessions. Lee faithfully served his Church during the two following decades, as editor of its organ, the True Wesleyan, as pastor in New York state, Ohio, and Michigan, and as professor on the faculty of the Wesleyan Methodist school, Adrian College, Adrian, Michigan.
In 1867 he returned to the Methodist Episcopal Church and after ten more years' ministry in southern Michigan, he was superannuated, dying at the age of eighty-nine at Flint, Michigan. He wrote Universalism Examined and Refuted (1836); Ecclesiastical Manual, or Scriptural Church Government Stated and Defended (1850); Slavery Examined in the Light of the Bible (1855); Elements of Theology (1856); Natural Theology (1866). Their importance is inconsiderable. In 1882 he published Autobiography of the Rev. Luther Lee, D. D.
