William Logan Harris was born on November 14, 1817, on his father’s farm near Mansfield, Ohio, United States. He was a descendant of James Harris who emigrated in 1725 from Somersetshire, England, to Essex County, New Jersey. His parents, James and Mary (Logan) Harris, were Presbyterians.
William, converted at a campmeeting when he was seventeen, became an earnest Methodist, and was moved to prepare for the ministry. He was encouraged in this ambition by his mother, but his father had died, and an uncle, who was virtually his guardian, wished to make a farmer out of him, and would give him no financial assistance. Supporting himself, however, he studied for two years in Norwalk Seminary, Norwalk, Ohio. With this meager education, in 1837 he was admitted on trial to the Michigan Conference, which then included northern Ohio, and embarked on his ministerial career.
In 1839 William Harris was ordained deacon, and in 1841, elder. As a young preacher on circuits and at various stations he proved himself an effective evangelical speaker, and revivals invariably attended his ministry. He was pastor of the church in Delaware, Ohio, when Ohio Wesleyan University was opened in that town, and for a year, 1843-1846, was tutor there. In 1848 he was elected principal of Baldwin Institute, at Berea, in which position he showed so much ability that in 1851 he was called to the principalship of the academic department of Ohio Wesleyan, and the following year was appointed professor of chemistry and natural science.
In spite of his own meager schooling, Harris had so educated himself as to fill academic positions acceptably. During his tutorship at Ohio Wesleyan he had regularly met with Prof. William G. Williams at four o’clock each morning for instruction in Hebrew, and when he became professor he was proficient enough to give special courses in that subject. His taste, however, was for mathematics and science, and in the former field he was something of a genius. Circumstances later made him a close student of Methodist history, especially on its constitutional side. His administrative ability and sound judgment, together with the fact that he was a person of method, thoroughness, and accuracy, brought him official positions in his denomination.
From 1860 to 1872 Harris was assistant corresponding secretary of the Missionary Society. He was a member of all the General Conferences from 1856 to 1872 inclusive, and served as secretary of each. His work in this position was such that it came to be said that before Harris’ time the Methodist Church never had a secretary.
During the period when the question of the General Conference’s powers with respect to excluding slave-holders from church membership was being hotly debated, Harris, in a series of articles in the Western Christian Advocate (later published under the title The Constitutional Powers of the General Conference, with Special Application to the Subject of Slave Holding, 1860), ably opposed the arguments of those who maintained that slave-holders had a constitutional right to membership. He took an important part in determining the action of the General Conference on the admission of missionary conferences, and in preparing the plan by which lay representation was introduced.
In 1872 Harris was elected to the board of bishops, and immediately became its secretary. Under the high pressure of his activity, his strong physique finally began to give way, and in 1887 he died at his home in Brooklyn, having almost completed fifty years in the ministry.
He collaborated with William J. Henry in preparing Ecclesiastical Law and Rules of Evidence, with Special Reference to the Jurisprudence of the Methodist Episcopal Church (1879), and was the author of The Relation of the Episcopacy to the General Conference (1888), lectures at Drew Theological Seminary, published after his death.
William Harris is famous as bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church. During his tenure he made the first official episcopal tour ever made circumnavigating the globe, visiting M. E. Mission Stations in Japan, China, India, Bulgaria, and Western Europe. Harris also became recognized as an expert in Methodist church law. He was honored by Allegheny College with the D. D. degree in 1856, and LL. D. degree in 1870 from Baldwin University.

Harris was a man of large stature, immense endurance, seemingly inexhaustible capacity for work, acquisitive mind, and unusual memory. In spite of professional dignity and scholarly tastes, he gave the impression of being a “generous liver, ” and a “jolly old soul. ”
On August 9, 1840, Harris married Anna Atwell.
