OUR usual religious miscellany is
crowded out this morning by the pub
licatiOn of a legal document.
THE London Guardian contains
the following letter on
THE PROPOSED UNION OF THE YES
LEYANs WITH CHURCH."
Sir-Will you kindly allow one
whose Wesleyan ancestry goes back
TWO generations on each side to saw a
few words on the above question?
First - How do the Wesleyans
themselves regard this subject? /
was brought up among them, and I
can te-tify that, as a body, they cher
ish n very friendly feeling towards the
Church. | think a compromise such
as Messrs. Medd and Baird suggest
uprOot two mistakes switch are very
GOnAAi0uAJ htAdG ~ w CoAN9 aus
/. That Mr.. Wesley and his preach
ers were driven out Of the Church oil
England.
2. That Mr.. Wesley gave his
preachers authority, not only to
preach but to administer the sacra-
ments.
The careful and candid study OF
Mr. Wesley's works is the best rem
IL, To- Nhl An,aro 80 hAkL
takes.
First as to mistake number one.
One OF tho last entries in Mr.. Wes-
day. October 10th, 1890. / had an
pointed to preach in Diss; but the
difficulty was where | could preach.
The minister was willing | should
preach In the church, but feared of
iendisg the Bishop. But q gentle
man asking the Bishop whether be
had any objection to it, was answered,
None at all.
With respect to Mr.. Wesley's
preachers, let them, if they can, pro-
duce some legal document wherein
they are accommodated. LIZ not,
iet them confess that their separation
from the church was voluntary, and
therefore, according to Mr.. Wesley
notorious conviction, inexcusable.
Secondly, as to mistake No. Mr..
Wesleys's sermon on the m;nister;al
office is a complete antfdofe TO-
this extract: Did we ever apno;nt
you to administer sacramentsItp ~
ercise the priestly office? Such : a
sign never entered into u minds. !.
was farthest from our thoughts. AnJ
if any preacher had taken such a ster
we should have looked upon it as j
palpable breach ofour rule, and conse.
quently as q %recantati0n of our con.
nection,'' | could say q great deaI
