"Methodist Reform"
Nicholas Snethen and Dennis B. Dorsy, leaders
of the Methodist Protestant movement, are the dominant figures. At the
top left corner, in medallion shape, is the gavel, symbol of democracy,
and below this is the Bishop's Mitre.
At the right is an accurate representation of Mutual Rights, the early
publication of these reformers. The other journal, Mutual Rights and Christian
Intelligence, is held by D.B. Dorsey.
Gathered around Snethen (reading clockwise) are stylized figure of George
Brown, D.B. Dorsey, John B. Reese, and Asa Shinn. All were prominent in
the new movement, although no more devoted and determined than many others
The visages of these leaders are from photographs of the time.
