William Perry Eveland

William Perry Eveland (12 February 1864 – 24 July 1916) was a Missionary Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church, elected in 1912 and serving in the U.S. and in Southeast Asia.

He was born 12 February 1864 in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He began a preaching ministry in 1888, joining the Traveling Ministry of the Central Pennsylvania Annual Conference of the M.E. Church in 1891. He graduated from Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pennsylvania in 1892.

Prior to his election to the Episcopacy, he served as a Pastor and an Educator. He served as the President of Methodist-related Williamsport Dickinson Seminary (now, Lycoming College) from 1905 to 1912. He was appointed as Missionary Bishop over Southeastern Asia. However, his service as a Bishop was short; he died on 24 July 1916 following an electrical accident at Mount Holly Springs, Pennsylvania, where he is also buried.

Selected writings
  • Inaugural Address, Williamsport Dickinson, pamphlet, 16 pp., 1908.
gollark: I don't know why, but for some reason `load(stuff, stuff, environment table)` does not appear to do anything to `os.run`, which sticks to the environment of outside the sandbox as its default.
gollark: Invent a new piece of jargon and write a blog post on it.
gollark: Anyway, how am I meant to:- have the sandbox not muck with the environment of stuff running outside- have the sandbox *not* end up broken horribly by `os.run`, `load(string/file)` and `dofile` and anything else using FS stuff internally or whatever?
gollark: C++ 40: We Hate Compiler Writers.
gollark: Yes, exactly.
