Excerpt from The Methodist Magazine and Quarterly Review, Vol. 14 Another main advantage included in the entire plan, is, that suitable employment is offered to every member. Varied, and of unequal power, as is the capacity of the human mind in different persons, such are the general duties connected with works of mercy and benevolence, which have gradually arisen within the pale of Methodism, that no man need stand all the day, or any part of the dayf idle. As an exercise of humility, he might enter a Sunday school, and begin a course of good works, by teaching a little child the character of his vernacular tongue. Engagements more extensive may follow; morehonourable they cannot be. Mean time, benefits of a lasting order fall out for both parties for while the ignorant are instructed, or the sick consoled, the benefactor feels himself amended. Religion without practice, like water with out motion, is apt to stagnate. This was not unknown to the founder, and the old worthies, of these societies; and therefore it is thought that, next to an unblamable life, the most conclusive proof that a man can give of the reality of his religion, is to be found attempting to communicate it to others. The natural ten deney of Methodism inclines to this activity. Up and be doing is its motto and essence. To still-born life it is constantly opposed; and it remembers that, as in the grave there will be leisure enough, now is the time for improvement and usefulness.

Excerpt from The Methodist Magazine and Quarterly Review, Vol. 20: January, 1838; New Series, Vol. IX I. That a reformation in religion, in the English church and na tion, was much needed in the beginning of the last century, when Mr. Wesley commenced his labors, no person duly informed will doubt or question. The state of morals and religion among the people was such as to need immediate reform. This appears to be generally acknow ledged on all bands, and we need not quote authorities to establish what is conceded.
