Excerpt from Theophilus Walton, or the Majesty of Truth: A Reply to Theodosia Ernest I have been seeking a convenient opportunity for some time past to relieve my mind from anxiety, and I see no reason why I may not do so at the present moment. Pardon my frankness, Miss Mary, but the interest I feel in the subject is my excuse for the liberty I take. Will you promise to give me a candid answer to my question?

William Pope Harrison was born on September 3, 1830, in Savannah, Georgia, United States, but spent his boyhood in Oxford, Georgia.
Whatever early education William acquired was gained in his father’s printing shop and under the instruction of Rev. Patrick H. Mell. A brief stay at Emory College taught him how to study and whetted an already keen desire for knowledge.
William Harrison was admitted to the Georgia Conference on trial January 15, 1850, and appointed junior preacher on the Watkinsville Circuit, but at the end of the year he withdrew because of ill health. Two years later he joined the Alabama Conference and until 1863 held various charges within its bounds, serving also from 1860 to 1862 as principal of Auburn Female College. Transferred to the Georgia Conference in 1863, he was appointed pastor of St. Luke’s Church, Columbus, and in 1865, of Wesley Chapel, Atlanta, known after 1871 as the First Methodist Episcopal Church, South. By this time, although he appealed chiefly to the mind and conscience and but little to the emotions, he had become a preacher who attracted large congregations. He did more to popularize church going in Atlanta than any other preacher ever did.
The General Conference of 1870 established the New Monthly Magazine and made Harrison editor. A few numbers were issued early in 1871, after which the publication was suspended. With the exception of two or three short intermissions he was connected with the First Church, Atlanta, for some twelve years. In December 1877 he was chosen chaplain of the House of Representatives, being the third Southern Methodist to hold that position. Transferred to the Baltimore Conference the following year, he was appointed to the Mount Vernon Place Church, Washington. Here he remained until 1882, when he was sent to Winchester, Virginia. That year the General Conference elected him Book Editor to succeed Dr. Thomas O. Summers, and he removed to Nashville, Tennessee. The position was one for which by temperament and knowledge he was well fitted. He continued as Book Editor until 1894, when failing health caused his retirement. After 1886 he also edited the Quarterly Review (later the Methodist Review, Nashville), and some of his best theological and historical writings appeared in the “Editor’s Table” of that periodical.
Harrison's first published work was a theological novel, Theophüus Walton, or the Majesty of Truth (1859), a contribution to the Baptist controversy then going on. It was a reply to Theodosia Ernest; or the Heroine of Faith, which had been issued in 1857 by Amos Cooper Dayton, a Baptist. Both books had a large circulation. In 1883 he published The Living Christ; the Life and the Light of Men; and in 1886, The High-Churchman Disarmed; A Defense of Our Methodist Fathers.
In 1892 appeared Methodist Union, in which Harrison discussed the division of the church and suggested for the future, instead of reunion, a further division of American Methodism into Eastern, Southern, Western, and Colored General Conferences, all bound together by an advisory council. His death occurred in Columbus, Georgia.

Shy and reticent, Harrison had no liking for general society and found the pastoral duties of the ministry distasteful. He was happiest among books, and before his death had surrounded himself with a library of more than 10, 000 volumes.
Harrison was married to Mary Hodges.
