Importance before the Methodist general

is the constitution Il seems strange thae

so vital A question. Hut 1t should be re-
membored that the Methodist Episcopal
church was organized uuier the direct
authority OF John Wesley. who gave II 10
doctrines and rules, 10 these have haCl
added from time to time such lag's alton
as seemed to be needed TO interpret adl
