Owing to the fact that on June Is will be
celebrated the two hundredth anniversary
OF the birth OF John Wesley. the founder
of Methodism and the leader of the epochal
Wesleyan movement" which has had so
large a part in the making of American life
and character. study of this remarkable
man and his work is of peculiar timeliness.
1t is almost invariably the case that great
reformers men who revitalize the thought
and aspiration of their time, are ignorant
of the full scope Of the work which they
set under way. To marked extent this
was the case with John Wesley.
A clergyman OF the Church of England,
he entertained no thought that he was in
reality founding an opposition church which
should be In effect q protest against that
establishment of which he was an Or

This Is a teaching of John Wesley's life
borne out beyond disputing by his own
utterances bearing on the point at issue
Devoted. earnest, filed with the zeal of
the genuine evangelist. he fought not the
church to which he belonged. and in whose
teachings he ardently believed. but merely
for a more vital application of the truth
as affecting the spiritual welfare Of man.
He was distinctly trained in the Church of
England. ordained a deacon in 1725 by the
Bishop Of Oxford, elected a fellow of Lin
coin College in March. 1926. appointed Greek
lecturer and moderator of the classes two
months later. took his degree at Oxford

of the Church of England after which he
remained at Oxford for six years. his life
being a continual protest against moral evil
and religious laXity. In this spiritual at
utude was found the basis of methodsm
as developed In succeeding days.

the patients have retained consciousness.
