Excerpt from Methodism in 1791 and 1891

These questions are not to be answered lightly, and, least of all boastfully. But, so far as matter for the answer lies ready to our hand, let as not fail to use it. Thus we thankfully afiiim that Methodism today, in all its branches, shows results that cannot be of man. Looking on its vast growth, only an enmity blinded by bigoted prejudice could hesitate to say: This is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes. And let us hasten to acknowledge, in most profound humility, that in nothing is it more marvellous than this, that it has been accomplished by agency for the most part so feeble, and often so unfaithful. But we should be sinfully ungrateful indeed did we not with great thankfulness magnify the grace of the Lord, the Head of the Church, in that Methodism has been kept loyal to His truth, and is loyal today to the form of doctrine which it was called into existence to teach and to defend. That unbroken continuity of doctrine is, I fear not to declare, one of the most notable phenomena in the history of modern Christianity. From our pulpits, in uninterrupted series of witness, there has sounded out, unfaltering, the word of a free, and full, and present salvation; a salvation by faith only in the atoning death of the Lord Jesus Christ; a divinely attested salvation; a salvation unto all righteousness and true holiness.
