LAUDS PIONEERS
OF METHODISM

AS preliminary to the opening OF
the annual session Of the Whining
ION NJ e. Conference. the Rev. DR.. s.
Parkes Cadman. pastor OF Central
Congregational Church. Of Brooklyn,
lectured last night in Union NJ. Z.
Church on "The Three Great Re
llgious Leaders Of oxford -Wycliffe,
Wesley and Newman"
During his address Dr. Cadman
raped some Of the modern evan
gelists. Not a thing will you get
from modern evangelism" said Dr.
Cadman. 81 have never had an evan
gelist in my pulpit. and would not
have one there. When / cannot make
my own people come to God as they
should, without resorting TO those
methods, then / will quit.
1--WE must have an intelligent min
istry o. we can't keep our grip on
the social problems OF today. The
only unbiased history that we have
was written since 1S4S"
DR.. Cadman recalled that John
Wycliffe was a Yorkshire English
man. He entered oxford when he
was sixteen years OF age and became
man of scholastic learning. Wy
cliffe protested against the Pope and
was a man Of pretty liberal views for
his time. but no man dared put a
hand on him and he did pretty much
as he pleased
The next great religious leader
was John Wesley. a man who went
beyond Abraham Lincoln and Thorn
J as Jefferson. said the speaker. He
was the brightest luminary since the
lays Of the apostles.
II was Wesley who first put rum
ON the run. In that day it was no
uncommon thing for a minister 10
come to his pulpit after attending a
cock fight and greatly under the in
fucnce of liquor. Wesley took a
stand against that kind of thing and
caused sentiment to be aroused
against Il.
The third character noted was
John Henry Newman, great his
torlan, a lover of truth and consis-
toncy. Those who express surprise
that Newman. after belonging TO
several denominations, finally should
have become a Roman Catholic should
remember that Newman was be-
lever in infallibility. and he went
eventually into the church that is
the iirmest believer in infallibility
said DR.. Cadman.
AS to tho future. Dr. Cadman said
IL did not depend SO much upon de-
nomination or communion or creed
but upon the raising up Of another
Wesley filled with the power OF God
who would not have to resort to the
language OF the baseball game, ol
saloon or gambling den.
The Rev. Richard Bicking. of Cen
trcvillo. was chorister for the meet
ing. and the Rev. Dr. w. r. Corkran
pastor of Union. introduced DR.. Cad
man. The opening prayer was made
by the Rev T.. l.. White.
