had been as a sealed box to him.
This revolutionized the whole char
acter and method OF his ministry. OF

sweeping aside of ecclesiastical tradi-
tions. the rejection of the apostolic
succession. the ordination with his
own hands Of presbyters and bishops.

Wesley soon organized q corps of
helpers, went forth to proclaim the
gospel of his famous sermon before

note of all his subsequent ministry.
On New Years eve. 1889. seven Of
the Oxford Methodists-all ministers
OF the church of EnEland-and some
sixty others held a "watch-night" serv-

were subsequently ingrained into uni
versal Methodist custom. Watch

ular custom at Kingswood. Dec. 81,
174O.
The foundation of the first Method
ist preaching room" in the world was
laid in Bristol May ~. 1879. and was
afterward known as "the old room In
the Horse fair" Wesley was obliged
to raise the funds and became the
owner. In this way nearly all the
chapels built in his early career were
vested for a while. Afterward trusts
were created and by his deed of dec
laration" all his interests in these
buildings were transferred TO his in
corporated conference"
The Methodist classes and class

they partook largely of the character
of modern churches. were called soci-
cites, and he did not then aspire to
any other designation. The first was
formed in London in April. 1893.
Before long. however, the Wesleys
were excluded from the pulpits of the
Anglican church. and by 174O the
clergy excluded them and their con-
verts from the Lords table. The So
cieties grew in number, and on Feb.
90, 1743, John Wesley sent out the

signed later by Charles Wesley also.
In these the society was defined as
"a company of men having the form
and seeking the power of godliness,
united in order to pray together to
receive the word of exhortation. and to
watch over one another in love, that
they may help each other to work out
their salvation"
There was but one condition for ad-
mission-"a desire to fee from the
wrath to come and to be saved from
their sins" But to show fruits it was
expected that all should evidence their
desire by doing no harm, by avoid

be used in the name of the Lord Je-
sus."
Thus was laid. the broad platform OF
the spirit and creed on which was to
stand the great Methodist church and
inspire its fervent zeal. its social tenn
PER, its philanthropies and its spiritual
character.
But Wesley was finally driven, much
against his desire, to make distinct
separation of his societies from the
church of England. The brothers be-
gan to administer the sacrament. and
thus full provision was made for the
societies. although many Methodists
continued to attend the communion of
the Anglican church.

John Wesley was summoned before
Edmund Gibson. bishop OF London. but
after a severe catechizing the latter
said: You can read the acts and laws

Notwithstanding this. the bishop short
ly issued a pastoral letter. in which he
charged the Methodists with boasting
and enthusiasm. and finally excluded
Charles Wesley from the vicarage at
Islington.
Again, in 1740 the bishop summoned
Wesley before him. but when he had
concluded his examination. he said:
IF this be all you mean. publish 1t to
the world" an Injunction which Wes-
ley gladly obeyed.
But field-preaching again alarmed
the bishop. and in another pastoral he

things of value and suspicion invari-

eregation came out. however. he an

which in 1901 numbered more than
900 members.
In 1745 Wesley added to his other
irregularities" the calling out of lay
preachers, and when this step was
challenged he declared "Souldamning
clergymen lay me under more difficult
ties than soul-saving laymen."
He begun. continued and ended his
work not to destroy the English
church. but to vitalize and spiritualize
it. His societies were intended as
auxiliaries to the established church
and ever subordinate to it. His sep
aration from 1t grew little by little.
At all his conferences he opposed
schism. until the independence of
America brought him face to face with
a new problem. The Methodists here
were left without an ordained minis
try capable of administering the sacra-
ments. They looked to Wesley as
their father and asked what they
should do.
The crisis was reached In 1884.
Years before Wesley had been con-
vinced that in the primitive church
bishops and presbyters had the right
to ordain. and he now proceeded to ex-
ercise that right. influenced thereto

named will soon be able to deal with

forthc oming and that most gratifying
results will be shown. He would es-
