Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Methodist Church Property Case I now come to the particular controversy in this case. It is one in relation to which the excitement at this time and in this country is great. It grew out of the existence of slavery. Very early the Methodists, both on the subject of temperance and of slavery, took a ground, the highest and most exclusive and one of the rules of the United Societies (which are the particular, and private, and domestic organiza tions of Churches composing the denomination) was, that no person should belong to them who bought men and women with the view of reducing them to slavery. As we suppose, that originally had reference to the slave-trade as a matter of commerce which was then carried on. But very soon it was evident that this Society viewed it in a larger aspect, and in one of the earlier conferences a rule of a very extreme character was adopted. It was at a conference which began at Baltimore in Decem ber, 1784, which is known as the Christmas Conference. They adopted a rule quite exclusive on the subject of slavery, not merely as to the buying and selling of men and women, but in the most severe form and manner, compelling the manumis sion of slaves. That threatened to become so destructive to the Society, in its attempts to penetrate the Southern and Western parts of the country, which were considered the most open fields for the operation of the Methodist principles, that at the first meeting of the conference afterwards, the very next year, the rule was suspended, and in the next book of discipline it was omitted. From time to time rules were adopted in this Church, sometimes of a more stringent, and sometimes of a more lax character, on the subject of holding slaves. The Church, North and South, always considered slavery an evil that is, that it would have been better if no such thing had ever existed. They, however, treated it, as one of the evils among them, and conformed their religious discipline on the subject to the laws of the various States so that it was declared that no person should hold any office in the Church who did not manumit his slaves, when the laws of his State permitted it. If the State did not permit it, the holding of slaves was not to be a subject of official or personal reproach. They provided also that their preachers should teach the members of their Churches to instruct their slaves; showing that they took the practical view of this as a thing to be dealt with as existing, and which it was not in the power of any man, or body of men, clerical or lay, by their wishes to destroy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Polity of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States: Being an Exposure of the Spurious Origin of the Methodist Episcipacy My object in calling attention to this passage, is to cor rect an error which seems unaccountably to prevail, about the control of Methodist church property. You will per haps be surprised to learn that the clergy of the Methodist Episcopal Church do not own a church or a parsonage in the United States - and that the acknowledged pastor of a Methodist Church cannot take up a collection in it, or even invite any other than a Methodist preacher to preach in it, without the assent of the trustees. You will also be sur prised to learn, that the Methodist Churches in this city be long to a corporation consisting of all the male members above the age of twenty-one years. The preachers have no control over the current funds of the church. The means of ministerial support are raised by weekly contributions in class meetings. These are received by the leaders, who are all lay men, and by them paid over to the stewards, who are laymen. When a preacher is sent by the bishop to a particular sta tion, he is met by a committee of laymen appointed by lay men, who inquire into the probable wants of his family, and fix the amount of his salary. The preacher has no right to stipulate for compensation. He must take What is offered him; and should the stewards not be able to pay what they promised, (which unfortunately often happens, ) by_ari ex press article of the discipline, it is provided that the church shall not be accountable for the deficiency, as in case of debt. On the other hand, if a preacher be sent to a station, and the stewards, sustained by the membership, refuse to make any provision for him, he has no means of obtaining a cent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Wesley and the Methodist Societies IN my book on john Wesley and the Religious Societies I have traced Wesley's course until that Christmas Eve, in 1739, when he met a small company of earnest people whose supreme desire was to know how they might be saved from their sins.' I have been so much encouraged by the reception accorded to my book that I have been made bold to attempt a still more formidable task. I hope to be able to describe the work of Wesley down to the time of his death. In this volume I watch him as he lays the foundations of the Methodist Church. They were so carefully and securely laid that, up to the present time, they have determined the character of the building erected on them.
