'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
o ci n ivi a
in America and in the world
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.

One of the reasons why the Chris-
tian Endeavor Society. of which
Francis E. Clark is the president,
is numbering its members by the
nundrcds of thousands and the mil-
_llons is because of its ironclad
pledge. John Willis Baer, who for
_' 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

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
