METHODISM AND ANGLICANISM IN THE LIGHT O

Excerpt from Methodism and Anglicanism in the Light of Scripture and History Ever since the Holy Club, composed of John and Charles Wesley, with Mr. Morton and Mr. Kirkham, was organized that they might attain a closer walk with God, contumely and reproach have been showered upon Wesley and his followers. Foremost among the assailants of Methodism we ever find that faction in the Episcopalian Church known as the Anglican, or High Church party. In spirit and teaching they are the legitimate descendants of Laud and Bonner, of unsavory memory. They have had a distinct and clearly defined form since the Tractarian Movement, as it is called, which dates from 1833, when Pusey, Manning, Keble, Newman, and some men of lesser note, startled and alarmed anglo-saxon Protestantism by their bold attempts to introduce teaching known distinctively as Romish into the Episcopalian Church.
