Inspirados nosotros en- sentimientos
de justicia, llsmarnos Ia atenci6n de Ia

tieular de que Ia ley no debe tener g.
fecto retroactive. Pues bien, La Co

Es muy correcto este prOceder.
En- cuestiones de justicia no debe

as restless deceiver, a. Jesuit in dis
guise and a dissenter, while his fol
lowers were called young quacks in
divinity, buffoons in religion, movers
in sedition and ringleaders of the rab-
BILE.
In answer to the clergyman who for
babe his preaching in his parish,
Wesley quoted the Scriptural com
mand and closed with his famous
words: Whom shall / hear, then, God
or man? l look upon all the world as
my parish"
Therefore, in 1742, he spent the year
in extending his parish" preaching
in various places in London, Bristol,
Wales, Newcastle-on-Tyne and other
places, but was refused the opportun-
ity to assist the curate in his fathers
cid church at Epworth. AS the con-
gregation came out, however, he an
nounced that he would preach that
evening from his fathers tomb in the
churchyard, the sight of which was so
inspiring that the people pressed him
to stay longer, and for eight days he
occupied the same pulpit, consecrated
by the ashes of the dead rector.
To those services Methodism in Lin
colnshire owes is organized churches.
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 .tSoul-damnirg
clergymen lay me under more difficult
ties than soul-saving laymen-"
The clergy was enraged and used
