COPIED from the Rich. Christian Advocate
Progress of MethOdism.

In one of its leading centennial articles
the North american ReUieV, referring
TO Methodism, said: "The rise of this
great and influential body must be receiv-
ed as the most signal religious fact which
the past century presents" Truly the
success of the Wesleyan reformation in
this country is without parallel in the
history OF any evangelical religious
movement of modern times; and when
all the circumstances are we'll consider
ed its progress looks somewhat like a
moral miracle.
When Methodism started in this coun.
try the ground had been pre-ocupied by
other Christian and evangelical denomi.
nations from one hundred to one hum
dred and fifty years. At that time the
Congregationalists were far in advance
of all others, and held the front at the
close of the Revolution. The Baptists
were next, then the Episcopalians, then
the Presbyterians. At the present time
the Methodists are in the van the Bap-
lists come next then the Presbyterians
then follow the Congregationalists and,
after them, the Episcopalians.
The Church of England, of which the
Protestant Episcopal Church is the de-
scendant and successor, was here as ear

years before a sermon by a Methodist
had been preached on this continent
The Congregationalists had secured a
footing in 1920, one hundred and forty
years anterior to Methodism. The Bap-
lists were at work in 1859, just one hum
dred years before the birth of Method
ism in England, and one hundred and
gears before it was intro
1uced into America and the Presby-
,erians commenced operations in 1858,
'ight.y-ta0o years before the Methodists.
The Methodists started in the race one
hundred and forty.nine years after the
,ldest, and eighty-two years after the
of the four aforementioned

was as marked aman as in the pulpit
His conversation was wonderful. There
was the same soul of fire and of tender.
ness; the same deep thought; the same
rich melody of voice. The greatest
men of his time sought him out, and sat
beneath the spell of his words. His
learning was deep and wide, and skill
fully wrought into all he said. Yet he
was never ostentatious. His modesty
humbled the vain his courtesy inspired
the timid. To an earnest seeker for
truth his heart was full of love, his
manner full of tenderness; but when
aroused by indignation or in scornful
argument, no man but trembled before
his impetuous and relentless power.
The peculiar character of his oratory
is rapidly disappearing from the earth.
The days of Henry and Adams, of Web
ster and Clay, are past. Like theirs,
his eloquence was not of the schools
1t was an inspiration of God, working
out through a rare spirit And besides
the love of freedom and of country
which throbbed through the undying
words of these four great men, James
hod another and nobler in
spiration: the theme of immortality,
the perfect and eternal liberty of the
soul.
