Some extracts from Goodly Portions, with brief notes of contributors to old American conferences. Interesting to see the Halifax meeting in 1892 where one of the contributors was listed as C I Schofield. The spelling doesn't exactly match, but this is probably C I Scofield who later produced the Reference Bible. I don't think much is known of his early links with the Grant Brethren? Maybe someone can shed more light on this?

Thanks for the links!

This is most definitely the C. I. Scofield of Reference Bible fame. The wording and insights are classic Scofield. Also, concerning the misspelling of his name ("Schofield" instead of Scofield), I've noticed this same misspelling elsewhere: mainly in news briefs or headlines from newspapers during his lifetime, such as the local St. Louis and Dallas papers from the 1880s - 1890s. At that time, Scofield did not yet have the notoriety and fame that he has today, so it's understandable to see reporters/writers slightly misspelling his name by adding an "h" (phonetic spelling). Incidentally, I've noticed that ChatGPT often misspells Scofield's name the same way: by adding the "h". It's just one of those things. But yes, this "C. I. Schofield" is none other than C. I. Scofield: the editor of the Scofield Reference Bible.
