Can They 30 Caught

The statement is often made in
good faith that the numerous boot
legsers why ply their Infamous
trade in Lexington and nearly all
other towns, can not be caught
nor can they so long as the law de-
ponds on the evidence of bootlegger
patrons. But, as the old saying
goes There are other ways to kill a
dog beside choking it to death on
butter" and it occurs to us that
there are ways to catch bootleggers
beside depending on the evidence
of men and boys who deal with
them. First, it can be taken for
granted that all who are ordering
quantities in small packages (pints,
for instance) are bootlegging. There
may be exceptions, but the rule
will hold good in big majority Of
cases. Second, the law Of 'Tennes-
see declares that having govern
ment license to sell intoxicating Ii
quors on prima facia evidence that
the party holding such license is
selling and that he may be so con.
victed. Third, the party so order.

consequence the preaching OF Wesley
was not welcome in the churches. and
they were closed against him. His re-
ply 10 the closed doors was: The
world is my parish" and God opened
to him another door, He turned to the
unchurched masses He went forth to
raise up a holy people He preached
a free and a full salvation to all who
cred to listen.
He believed intensely in the Bible as
the Word of God He became a man
OF one book. and that book was the
Bible This was the foundation prin-
ciple OF his faith. There was no ra-
tionalism in his views. He believed in
the full Deity OF Christ and in the
personality o. the Holy Ghost. He
was a Trinitarian. He believed in an
unlimited atonement. as taught by the
the Dutch theologigan. Arminius. as OPP
posed to a limited atonement taught
by the great Swiss reformer John CAL
vim In consistency with this. he en-
phasized the freedom OF the human
will and the consequent responsibility
OF man for his sin and for his eternal
destiny
He believed in the endless future
punishment of the wicked and pro-
claimed II without apology and with
out reserve. He based this on the
plain, natural meaning OF the Word Of
God.
He believed in salvation from sin as
an experience that should soon follow
repentance. This salvation is received
by faith as merciful gift from God.
Salvation by faith alone was a favorite
theme with Wesley. This doctrine was
always accompanied with the doctrine
Of assurance. or "The Witness Of the
Spirit"N This gives joy and peace to
the believer
Wesley teaches that sanctification
begins i'm Justification or regeneration.
and that at a later period the carnal
or sinful nature may be completely
eradicated, and a condition of perfect
love come to obtain in the soul. This
is a brief outline of the leading doc
trines OF John Wesley, known popular
ly as Methodism.
Inc Delaware and on this Peninsula
the Methodist Episcopal Church
Church has taken strong hold. The
pioneers OF Methodism. such as Fran
els Asbury, Freeborn Garrettson and
Ezekiel Cooper. were very successful
i'm these parts. We have now a large
company Of influential, God-fearing
members. who know their sins for
given and rejoice in hope Of the glory
OF God.

II is quite generally known among
well-informed people that John Wes-
ley had something TO do with the
beginnings of the Methodist move
ment Emerson says somewhere that
institutions are the heightened
shadows of men. or words to that ef-
feet. If that be true. then John Wes-
ley must have been big tall man, for
MethOdism has spread itself over a
large portion of the civilized world
What did Wesley believe that made
him such great leader in spiritual
matters? There must have been
something unusual in his views or in
his manner Of propogating them or he
never would have been heard from.
AS we study into the published writ
ings of this remarkable man. we can
not fail to notice that he was a clear
thinker and writer. and that his views
constitute a system OF theology.
He often referred to his doctrines
as "Scriptural Christianity" or
"Scripural Religion For many
years he searched the Scriptures
earnestly and diligently to obtain a
heart experience that would satisfy
him as to his standing with God. A
personal knowledge Of salvation was
what he wanted He sought by cor
rect living and by good works. 70 Sc
cure that personal holiness which he
saw set forth in the Bible. After ten
yoars of fruitless search he was
about to give up in despair. He then
turned TO some German Moravians for
instruction From them he learned of
justification by faith as taught in the
writings of Martin Luther. On May
"A. 1888, when he was thirty five
years Of age, he felt that his heart
was strangely warmed" and that he
was accepted as child of God
through faith i'm the atoning blood of
Christ
He was at that time an ordained
clergyman of the Church of England,
and a fellow of Lincoln College, Ok
ford. AT Oxford he was distinguished
for his scholarship. especially in
Greek and logic. His mind was we'll
balanced and singularly free from IL
lusion and fanaticism.
The new-found experience OF young
Wesley was made the basis OF his
preaching from that time. With great
power and cogency OF logic he per-
suaded men to fee from the wrath TO
come and be saved from their sins.
The churches were cold and formal.
The clergy were for the most part ig-
norant. pleasure loving and Indifferent
to the salvation Of the people. As a
