His jealousy illustrated by the punishment of

principles may affect the success of human

Human means may be too perfect, 438-
Methodism traced from its Divine commence-
ment to its present beautiful organization, 439
-danger lest its Author should be less

which provides the most efficient means is only
exceeded by the earnestness that seeks the
interposition of the Supreme Power, all is

Holy Spirit has forsaken its ordinances, 441-
if one church can be more dependent on the
Spirit's grace than another, that church is our
own, 441-whatever may tend to grieve the
Holy Spirit should be narrowly watched, 442-

Home-Missionary Vocation of Methodism : its
primary and its present aspects. Remarkable
individuals often raised up at a critical time for
the preservation of the truth and service of the
church, 890-languishing state of Christianity
in England when the Wesleys were converted
and sent forth, 891-Methodism developed into
a Home-Missionary system, 892-its theology,
its ministry, its Circuit-organization, its lay-
agency, its finance, its connexional principle,
and its constitution are all Home-Missionary,
892-894-the general revival which attended its
successive operations glanced at, 894-its ready
application as a church-system to other coun-
tries, where it immediately became Home-
Missionary, shown in Wales, in Ireland, in
Scotland, in the United States, (with, in each
case, the results,) 896, 897; in the West Indies,
Nova-Scotia, South Africa, New South Wales,
Van Diemen's Land, New-Zealand, the Friendly
and Fiji Islands, Canada, (with the results,)
897, 898; and in China, (where the results will
appear in due time,) 898-Methodism thus
realizing its founder's grand conception of a
whole-world parish, 899-intimate connexion
of this Home-Missionary movement with the
great religious institutions of the day, 899-

Mr. Colquhoun's testimony on this point cited,
901

Home and Foreign Missions not antagonistic,
990-favourable change effected in this country
within the last hundred years, in Sabbath
observance, în philanthropy, in morals, and in
religion, 990, 991-still the national character
is fearfully dark, exhibiting unparalleled drunk-
enness, 992; millions of uneducated children,
993; vast numbers of irreligious and demoral-
ized adults, 993-important statistics, showing
the moral state of the general population, 993;
the inadequacy of Methodist operations, 994;
how large a tract of country lies altogether
untouched by Methodist agencies, 994-let
Methodism have a fair chance with the masses,
and, much as it has told on them already, it
will tell yet more effectively, 995-Methodist
Home-Missions have a very important relation
to the church and chapel provision of the
country, 995-they also have relation to indi-
vidual responsibility, 996
