WESLEY AND METH0DISM.
Subject of Sermon by Rev. A. r.
Chaffel in Asbury NJ. Il. Church.

Wesley and Methodism We're COM
bined in an interesting address last
night by Rev. A. f. Chaffee in Asbury
Methodist Episcopal church, Green
Ridge. His text was Psalms Xxi, 26:
There shall be an handful of corn IN
the earth upon the top of the noun
tain: the fruit thereof shall shake like
Lebanon; and they of the city shall
flourish like grass of the earth
MIR. Chaffee believed Wesley was one
of the most remarkable personages OF
the church of God. In response to a
supposed inquiry as to what five per
sons had performed the most efficient
service for the glory of God, he had nc
doubt John Wesley would be one of the
number.
The Church of England received no
little condemnation from Mr.. Chaffee
in his rehearsal of the ripeness of :he
opportunity which Wesley grasped fol
establishing his reform. That de-
nomination, he declared, had become
clerically disreputable. In the time OF
Wesley it was common to issue church
and sporting announcements at one
and the same time. A clergyman's
work was not matter of manliness
We're commonly addicted to drink and
their morals were not always the best
The mass of the people had no conf
dence in them and were ready enough
for the truth of God.
AS a result of the founder's example
:here was started at the time of tho
revolution in this country the LITTLE
sai!-loft band Of Methodists from
which has grown a mass of people o.
| that denomination numbering 5000, ,00I
souls enough to occupy thirty days il
passing i'm single file before a giver
| point at the rate of three miles al
| hour.
Mr.. Chaffe in speaking of the timer
| ency system of the Methodist ministry
| argued that in the average Methods
| churches were not subjected to any
more frequent changes than the Pres
| bYterian' church. The Methodist sys
| TEN keeps each of her preaching mel
| employed and gives him a church ant
| each church a man.
1t was considered by many that tn,
| preaching of Wesley saved EnglanC
| from French revolution. Mr.. Chaffe
| declared, and some go so far as to sa,
! that he did more to save the worlt
| than any one man since his time. Thi
old power has lost none of it's force
In this country the strength of tn
church is great enough, big enough ant
| powerful enough to carry any grea
| question that it might choose to cham
| riOn.
