ITS IN FLUENCE

'that estiinate.` and as it recognfieii the achievements of the church which

John Wesley founded it thanks and praises God for' that baneficent life.

The name of John Wesley is every-

where respected by the good and the true. Therefore is it to be wondered at that our people, no matter to w t Protestant church the belon

news that the Methodist General Conference of 1904 was to assemble in the City of tho Angels? This con- ference opens its session during the coming week. We, as a people, look forward to its sessions with interest end hope. We believe that by close touch tbirconference will bless all Protestant churches, no matter to what denomination they belong, It is a`pp`ropriatc on this Sabbath day to _bid the incoming delegates wel- come. It is also appropriate to state some of the reasons why the

grown' in numbers until to-day it

hear every preacher of note in Lon- don' _ and _that there was not one :hose discourse indicated whether he was ai follower of Confucius or Mohimmed or of Christ. ‘The Es- tablished church oi that time be-, lieved in carrying the phyiacterles upon the forehead, but not' in- prac- ticing ChrisL's .spiritual lessons in_ the life. It was o given ovor- to 'formnlimtn and rites and cercmonies that it had no ‘warning to give even to men in its pulpits \\-ho, like the Pharisees of old, were whited scpul- chers, fair to_ the eye, but within hnrborlng decaying corpses and whose private livl-s were a repulsive stench. "It is the inward witness, son, the inward witness," spake the flying-father, Samuel Wesley, to his- son John--"this is the strongest , proof of Christianity." So John Wa.-slr-y and his followers resolutely Lsct their laces against the prevalent sins ,of that dmv. 'They vehemently declared that- thc Christian church _should not only have n pure creed. vbut that its members 'should be men 'of pure privntc lives. In the high spiritual standard not before the in-

dividual church ineniln-rs we find the

'chief cnuse of the nn\\'\'clous develop-

V 1 ment of the Methodist church.

_' so many years was secretary ol that

young peoplo's Christian organiza- tion was right when in my presence

tho Endeavorcrs is due to the high

ling power. There are many other reasons lor the growth of Methodism. One of the chief of these is the fact that John Wesley was the emanci- pator of the laymen, as Martin Lutli'- er was the emancipator of the Bible. The English ecclesiastic opened the dumb lips of the pew. The German reformer brake the iron clasps hold-

the common people preaching and praying everywhere was in derislon called ls. “Methodist." He was sneer- ed_ at because in his day custom

, dictated that no man should pray in

public unless he read his prayer out of a printed prayer book or speak for Christ unless he was entitled to wear a cassock and bands of an or- rluined priest. But John Wesley re- l moved these restrictions for the Me- thodists and sent the layman forth preaching and praying, as in the lat- ter years Archibald Tait, archbishop of Canterbury, enlisted the services of unordained workers in various branches of church activity and earned for himself the titlo given i him in scorn by a jealous clergy of 1 "the archbishop of the laity." 'l`h<~rc, upon his monument in old Canterbury, is chiseled in the most beautiful of epitaphs, "The one de- sire of his life was to make the 'Church of England the church of the people." Oh. my friends. lift Us

_ hold fast this liberty of service. The

work of propagating tho gospel is not committed exclusively YO any one class or profession. The labor- ers sent forth by Weslcll ln U19 eighteenth century, llke'thc laymen enllsted_by Archbishop Tait in the nineteenth; had~a work _to do, and right earnestly and successfully @1195' did it.
