 HISTORY OF THE CHURCH. 
 
 Rev. Jesse Walker preached the first Protestant sermon 
 in Chicago in the fall of 1830, to which work he had just 
 been appointed by the Illinois Conference of the Methodist 
 Episcopal Church. The first Protestant church organiza- 
 tion was effected the same year, when a small Methodist 
 class was formed in the room of Dr. Harmon, in the garri- 
 son. Rev. S. R. Beggs was appointed to this work in 1831 ; 
 Jesse Walker was re-appointed in 1832. In 1834 John T. 
 Mitchell was appointed to the same field. In 1835 the 
 church had become an independent and self-sustaining sta- 
 tion and John T. Mitchell was re-appointed. 
 
 The first church building was erected in 1834 upon the 
 North Side, but was subsequently removed to the southeast 
 corner of Clark and Washington streets, which has ever 
 since been the property of the First Methodist Society of 
 Chicago. From this feeble beginning has sprung the 
 strongest Protestant church organization in the city, 
 having now over forty churches in the city and vicinity. 
 
 In the fall of 1851 a Sabbath-school was organized in a 
 
 school room on North Green street, and Samuel Polkey 
 
 became the superintendent. In 1852 a church was 
 
 nriram/Ml and lots were purchased upon the corner of 
 
 unon and Owen streets. In the fall of 1853, the

 church received its first pastor, appointed by the conference, 
 Rev. S. Guyon, who remained two years and was succeeded 
 in 1855 by Rev. C. French. The next year Rev. William 
 Tasker was appointed to the church. In 1857 the church 
 secured the services of Rev. Arza Brown, who remained 
 during the ensuing three years. The name of the church 
 was changed, as was that of the street, in 18GO, and was 
 thereafter known as the Indiana Street Methodist Episco- 
 pal Church, until it was removed from that locality. In 
 I860 Rev. Jacob Hartman was appointed to the church. 
 Rev. D. W. Couch supplied the ensuing year. In 1863 
 Rev. W. D. Skelton became the pastor, and remained three 
 years. During his term r of service the old church gave 
 place to a larger and more convenient one, now occupying 
 the same site and used by the Norwegian Methodist 
 Episcopal Church. Rev. Robert Bently was appointed to 
 the charge in I860, and was followed in 1808 by Rev. J. 
 Hartwell. In I*J1) ISt-v. W. F. Stewart was appointed to 
 the church. During his pastorate, the church building was 
 sold to the society now occupying it, and our present 
 church upon Ada street was erected. Since that time Un- 
 church has been known by its present name. Rev. T. R. 
 Strobridge entered upon the pastorate of the church in 
 1870, and was followed in 1873 by Rev. W. C. Dandy, who 
 in 1874 gave place to Rev.. I. L. G. McKeown. In October, 
 1875, the present pastor received his appointment to this 
 work. 
 
 We have made no comments upon the work of any of our 
 predecessors. We are not sufficiently familiar with the 
 history of the church to give an accurate account of its 
 progress from year to year, and were we to do so it might

 equally devoted to their work. We have no doubt all these 
 men have earnestly labored for the upbuilding of the 
 church and the glory of God. Some have been more 
 favored by circumstances, and have seen more apparent 
 fruits, but in the last day, we trust all will receive the 
 " well done " of the Master. Suffice it to say, that in spite 
 of many serious obstacles, the care and sacrifice incident 
 to the erection of three church buildings, the resulting 
 debts, the unpleasantness engendered by removal from the 
 original site, the embarrassments occasioned by the finan- 
 cial panic \\liirli immediately succeeded the completion of 
 our church edifice, and other and even more serious hin- 
 drances, the church has gone on working for the good of 
 souls and the glory of God, and is now a most peaceful and 
 prosperous religious organization, with more than three 
 hundred members harmoniously and efficiently co-operat- 
 ing in every good work. Its recent rapid growth U 
 apparent from the fact that nearly two-thirds of the present 
 membership and three-fourths of the Sabbath-school have 
 been added during the past year and a half. We are now 
 in addition to the public Sabbath services and Sunday- 
 school regularly sustaining two church prayer meetings and 
 seven classes. We have an efficient organization of 
 " Christian workers " among our young men, a Ladies' Aid 
 Society, a Woman's Foreign Missionary Society, an Indus- 
 trial Society and School. All these organizations are vital 
 and efficient. 
 
 The prospect before Ada Street Church was never 
 brighter. We have well grounded reasons for expecting 
 this to become one of the most powerful religious organiza- 
 tions in tli> city. \\V intend by a firm but kind adminis- 
 tration of discipline to keep a faithful membership and

 stant additions to our numbers, the attendance upon the 
 services of our church, the increasing surrounding popula- 
 tion and the evident favor of God, all justify our most 
 sanguine expectations. May God help us properly to use 
 our opportunities and cultivate His vineyard!

 TWENTY HINTS TO HEARERS. 
 
 1. I'AM.I:AI. ViMiis;. It is the aim of your pastor to 
 visit each family once a year, and oftener when there is 
 1 occasion for it. The growing proportions of the 
 church make more*fretjuent visits increasingly difficult, and 
 .they can only !>< made at the expense of time and strength 
 needed for ntiu-r duties. If you are habitually at the ser- 
 vices of the rhmvli, yourself and pastor will become 
 unit nally \v,-Il acquainted without more frequent calls. 
 
 In cases of sicknts* or iiffli>-tivn inform your pastor, 
 and he will most gladly visit you. Otherwise he probably 
 will not be aware of your need of pastoral attention. 
 \Vhrn unconverted persons are sick or desire religious con- 
 versation, send promptly for your pastor and he will 
 eagerly respond. 
 
 3. FUNEBALS. We are always ready to attend funerals, 
 whenever and for whomsoever called upon. For such 
 services we desire no compensation, but think it reasonable 
 to expect that those who ask our attention in their time of 
 trouble, should attend our ministry when in health. Sun- 
 day funerals should be avoided whenever practicable. 
 
 1. Ai -i \ i Members of the church, when about to be 
 absent from the city, will prevent needless anxiety by 
 informing the pastor or class leader. When permanently 
 r'm.viiir, always carry with you a church letter and 
 immediately unite with an accessible church.

 i. 1 Ym.ir WORSHIP. Every church member should aim 
 to attend his church twice every Sabbath, the Sunday- 
 school, his class, and the general church prayer-meeting 
 every week. This requires but seven hours' time weekly 
 certainly no less than a Christian owes himself and his 
 church to give to the public worship of God. The habit of 
 wandering about from church to church because of disaffec- 
 tion at home, or in search of a sensation somewhere else, is 
 always excessively injurious, resulting in a loss of mental 
 stamina, clear convictions of truth, and healthful religious 
 growth. In church members such a course is nothing less 
 than criminal, because it involves the violation of most 
 sacred vows, and the failure to discharge most solemn obli- 
 gations. To have joined a church, like entering the mar- 
 riage relation, indicates the deliberate and prayerful assump- 
 tion of life-long obligations, which no honest man can 
 ignore. A church member who suitably respects himself and 
 his vows, will resent attempts to influence him to violate 
 the pledges he has taken before his own church. Your 
 pa-t.>r and brethren have a right to look for you always in 
 your own place in your own church, and without very good 
 reason you ought not to disappoint them. Let no ordinary 
 occasion or temporary impulse keep you away from the ser- 
 vices of the sanctuary. Your pastor can preach better when

 \ns members are there to hear. The Sabbath-school needs 
 you as a learner or teacher. Your class needs your 
 presence and your leader wants to know your experience. 
 
 7. PRAYER MLI-IIN-;. Come early. Take a front seat. 
 Come from your closet prayerfully, trustfully, hopefully. 
 Hring some one with you. Expect to let your voice be 
 heard. Hold yourself responsible for every lost moment 
 until you have contributed your testimony. At the close, 
 tarry to greet your pastor, your brethren, and especially 
 strangers and seekers of religion. 
 
 8. Sn:\\'.i u-. -Let them be made to feel at home. 
 Speak to them at the close of our services. Learn their 
 names and residence, and call yourself and inform your pas- 
 tor. Don't wait for introductions. 
 
 '.'. WORK. Work for Christ and the church as best you 
 can, and in every possible way. In the social meetings, 
 in house to house visiting, in the circulation of tracts, in 
 social gatherings of the church, before and after meetings, 
 in the exertion of a healthful Christian influence, and by a 
 roii-'stent Christian life and godly conversation. "Be 
 instant in season and out of season." 
 
 10. HB CIIKKKFUL. God wants happy Christians. 
 Faith in God, obedience to His laws, and work in His vine- 
 yard, will make every man happy. 
 
 11. PKIYATI: I )i-:\ >i IONS. Set aside some time each day 
 for reading the Scriptures and secret prayer. Wesley 
 recommends one hour in the morning. Like David and 
 Daniel, throe times a day, upon your knees, ask God's Mess- 
 ing. Read the Bible systematically. Habitually meditate 
 upon its teachings Know more of God day by day. He

 sustain a family altar. Also ask God's ble&ing upon each 
 meal. Always take your children to church, after they .-in- 
 old enough to attend school, that in childhood they may 
 form the habit of church attendance, and receive the good 
 impressions resulting from habitual presence in the 
 sanctuary. Have your children sit with you. 
 
 13. (_'IMU>I:I-:N. - - Let the children of our church be 
 taught to believe that God loves them, that Christ 
 redeemed them, and they belong to God by creation and 
 redemption that -they may in early childhood become 
 sincere Christians, and ever remain in the family of God. 
 Till the church leads the children to Christ it will never 
 conquer the world. 
 
 14. SAIIKATII OBSERVANCE. The Lord's day should be 
 devoted to public and private worship, the study of the 
 Hi Me, cheerful religious conversation, and efforts to do 
 good. Hence only works of necessity and mercy are justi- 
 fiable. Social visiting, pleasure riding, buying Sunday 
 papers, reading secular papers and books, ordinary letter 
 writing, looking over accounts and business papers, house 
 hunting, and frivolous or business conversation, are all vio- 
 lations of God's command " Remember the Sabbath day 
 to keep it holy." 
 
 15. TI:MIM I:\XCE. Church membership involves the 
 strongest and most sacred temperance pledge. The largest 
 and most powerful temperance society in America is the 
 .Method ist Episcopal Church. Any member of our church 
 who should use intoxicating drinks except in case of 
 "extreme necessity,'' not only injures himself and other-, 
 but breaks his covenant with God and the church, and 
 proves himself untrue.

 rules concerning amusements, abstaining- from theatres, 
 circuses, dances, billiards, card playing, games of chance, 
 and such other diversions as are in themselves or thr-ir ten- 
 dencies and associations of questionable propriety. Chris- 
 tians not only want to avoid evil, but all appearance of evil. 
 Whatever some may say of the innocence of any of these 
 amusements in themselves, indulgence in them always wars 
 against the soul, and leads to associations and habits that 
 destroy piety and often character as well. Seek amuse-

 17. BENEVOLENCE. God demanded of each Jew at least 
 one-tenth of his income, for strictly religious purposes. 
 Can a Christian give less and not be more selfish than were 
 the Jews? God promises an earthly and heavenly reward 
 for all we give Him. None are poorer for what is con- 
 scientiously given to Christ and His cause. Though it 
 require self-denial, cheaper rents, poorer clothes, less indul- 
 gences, or smaller business investments, honor God with 
 your substance, and aim conscientiously and systematically 
 to come up to the Scriptural standard, giving one-tenth of 
 your income to God, and receive the reward He has repeat- 
 edly promised those who obey Him in this regard. 
 
 18. OUK Kiv \\I-IAL PLAN. Give weekly, in envelopes 
 prepared for the purpose, the proportion of your subscrip- 
 tion due. Let every member of our church and congrega- 
 tion aim to regularly contribute his share of our current 
 expenses. This 13 God's plan 1 Cor. 16-2: "Upon the 
 tii>t day of the week let every one of you lay by him in

 prosperous churches of other denominations. It makes 
 iriving easy and a regular means of grace, to all the people. 
 It teaches children and encourages the poor to give. It 
 enables us to have free seats, thus abolishing distinctions 
 between the rich and poor, enabling each to do his part, 
 and fairly distributing the burdens of the church. 
 
 I' 1 . II \I:M"\V. Let our people remember that it is good 
 for brethren to dwell together in unity. Frown upon every 
 thing that savors of evil speaking, fault finding or com- 
 plaining of the members, officers or work of the church. 
 Correct what ermrs ym can in a judicious, Christian man- 
 mer, help forward every possible improvement; but under 
 no circumstances, discouragement or disappointment will 
 a judicious and earnest Christian seek to promote any 
 object, however desirable in itself, by introducing disaffec- 
 tion or discord into a church. He who would do this is 
 unfit f<>r membership in any Christian society. As long as 
 you can, speak hopeful, encouraging words, lend a helping 
 hand, co-operate in every go >d \v..r!<, and assist your breth- 
 ren to build up the church. When you can no longer do 
 this, nor live in love an 1 charity with your brethren, the 
 sooner you withdraw from your church the better for 
 yourselves and all concerned. We rejoice that this hopeful,' 
 charitable and earnest spirit now completely triumphs in 
 our church. May it ever do so in the hearts of all our 
 members.

 is to spread Scriptural holiness throughout the world. Let 
 your motto be, holiness to the Lord. Let us ever seek pure 
 hearts and holy lives. Lot us not rest content unless we 
 are fully conse, -rated to <iod ami saved by grace. Mav

 ARTICLES OF RELIGION OF THE M, E. CHURCH. 
 
 I. Of Faith in, the Holy Trinity. 
 
 There is but one living and true God, everlasting, with- 
 out body or parts, of infinite power, wisdom, and goodness: 
 the maker and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. 
 And in unity of this God-head, there are three persons, of 
 one substance, power, and eternity, the Father, the Son, 
 and the Holy Ghost. 
 
 IT. Of the Word, or Son of God, who was made very Mem. 
 
 The Son, who is the Word of the Father, the very and 
 eternal God, of one substance with the Father, took man's 
 nature in the womb of the blessed virgin; so that two 
 whole and perfect natures, that is to say, the Godhead and 
 manhood, were joined together in one person, never to be 
 divided, whereof is one Christ, very God and very man, 
 who truly suffered, was crucified, dead and buried, to 
 reconcile his Father to us, and to be a sacrifice, not only 
 for original guilt, but also for actual sins of men. 
 
 III. Of the Resurrection of Christ. 
 
 Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again 
 his body, with all things appertaining to the perfection of 
 man's nature, wherewith he ascended into heaven, and
 
 METHODIST ^PISCOPAL PHURCH. 67 
 
 there sitteth until he return to judge all men at the last 
 day. 
 
 IV. Of the Holy Ghost. 
 
 Tli.' Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the 
 Son, is of one substance, majesty, and glory with the 
 Fjttlieraiid the Son, very and eternal God. 
 
 V. 
 
 The Holy ScriptQres contain all things necessary to sal- 
 vation; so that whatsoever is not read therein, nor may he 
 proved thereby, is not to be required of any man, that it 
 should be believed as an article of faith, or be thought 
 requisite or necessary to salvation. In the name of the 
 Holy Scripture, we do understand those canonical books of 
 the Old and New Testament, of whose authority was never 
 any doubt in tin* ( 'hurrh.

 Twelve Prophets the less: 
 
 All the books of the New Testament, as they are commonly 
 received, we do receive and account canonical. 
 
 VI. Of the Old Testament. 
 
 The Old Testament is not contrary to the New; for both 
 in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to 
 mankind by Christ, who is the Mediator between God and 
 man, being both God and man. Wherefore they are not 
 to be heard who feign that the old fathers dicl look for 
 transitory promises. Although the law given from God by 
 Moses, as touching ceremonies and rites, doth not bind 
 Christians, nor ought the civil precepts thereof of necessity 
 be received in any commonwealth; yet, notwithstanding, 
 no Christian whatsoever is free from the obedience of the 
 commandments which are called moral. 
 
 VII. Of Original or Birth Sin. 
 
 Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam, (as 
 the Pelagians do vainly talk,) but it is the corruption of the 
 nature of every man, that naturally is engendered of the 
 offspring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from 
 original righteousness, and of his own nature inclined to 
 evil, and that continually.
 
 METHODIST JIPISCOPAL PHURCH. 69 
 
 VIII. Of Fr+ Will. 
 
 The condition <>| man after the fall of Adam is such, that 
 he cannot turn MM. I prepare himself, by his own natural 
 strength and works, to faith, and calling upon God; where- 
 fore we have no power to do good works, pleasant and 
 acceptable to God. without the grace of God by Christ pro- 
 venting us, that we may have a good will, and working 
 with us, when we have that good will. 
 
 IX. tf/f/ t , ./,//>/>,,/, .!/,,. 
 
 We are accounted righteous before God, only for the 
 mTit <>f our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by faith, and 
 not for our own works or <leservings. Wherefore, that we 
 are justified by faith only, is a most wholesome doctrine, 
 and very full of mm tort. 
 
 X. 6 ..... ' II 
 
 Although good works, which are the fruits of faith, and 
 follow after justification, cannot put away our sins, and 
 endure the severity of God's judgments: yet are they pleas- 
 ing and acceptable to God in Christ, and spring out of a 
 true an<l lively faith, insomuch that by them a lively faith 
 may be as evidently known as a tree is discerned ly its 
 fruit. 
 
 XI. '// I !' //-.> q$ 8 '"'//. 
 
 Voluntary works, besides, over, and above God's com- 
 mandments. which are called works of supererogation, can- 
 not Ixi taught without arrogancy and impiety. For by 
 tin-in men do declare that they do not only render unto 
 (loil as much as they are bound to do, but that they do 
 more for his sake than of hounden duty is required: whereas
 
 70 DIRECTORY OF ADA ^STREET 
 
 Christ saith plainly, When ye have done all that is com- 
 manded you, say, We are unprofitable servants. 
 
 XII. Of Sin after Justification. 
 
 Not every sin willingly committed after justification is 
 the sin against the Holy Ghost, and unpardonable. Where- 
 fore, the grant of repentance is not to be denied to such as 
 fall into sin after justification: after we have received the 
 Holy Ghost, we may depart from grace given, and fall into 
 sin, and, by the grace of God, rise again and amend our 
 lives. And therefore they are to be condemned who say 
 they can no more sin as long as they live here; or deny the 
 place of forgiveness to such as truly repent. 
 
 XIII. Of the Church. 
 
 The visible Church of Christ is a congregatiou of faithful 
 men, in which the pure word of God is preached, and the 
 sacraments duly administered, according to Christ's ordi- 
 nance, in all those things that of necessity are requisite to 
 the same. 
 
 XIV. Of Purgatory. 
 
 The Romish doctrine concerning purgatory, pardon, wor- 
 shiping, and adoration, as well of images as of relics, and 
 also invocation of saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, 
 and grounded upon no warrant of Scripture, but repug- 
 nant to the word of God. 
 
 XV. Of speaking in the Congregation in such a Tongue as 
 the People understand. 
 
 It is a thing plainly repugnant to the word of God, and 
 the custom of the primitive Church, to have public prayer
 
 METHODIST JIPISCOPAL PHURCH. 71 
 
 in the Church, or to minister the sacraments, in a tongue 
 not understood by the people. 
 
 XVL Of the >'"/<//// cuts, 
 
 Sacraments, ordained of Christ, are not only badges or 
 tokens of Christian men's profession; but rather they are 
 certain signs of grace, and God's good will toward us, by 
 the which he doth work invisibly in us, and doth not only 
 quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our faith in 
 him. 
 
 There are two sacraments ordained of Christ our Lord in 
 the Gospel; that is to say, Baptism and the Supper of the 
 Lord. 
 
 Those five commonly called sacraments, that is to say, 
 confirmation, penance, orders, matrimony, and extreme 
 unction, are not to be counted for sacraments of the Gospel, 
 being such as have partly grown out of the corrupt follow- 
 ing of the apostles; and partly are states of life allowed in 
 the Scriptures, but yet have not the like nature of Baptism 
 ami the Lord's Supper, because they have not any visible 
 sign or ceremony ordained of God. 
 
 These sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be 
 ga/ed upon, or to be carried about; but that we should duly 
 use them. And in such only as worthily receive the same, 
 they have a wholesome effect or operation : but they that 
 receive them unworthily, purchase to themselves condemna- 
 tion, as St. Paul saith. 1 Cor. xi. 29. 
 
 XVII. ft,' ll.ij.rism. 
 
 Baptism is not only a sign of profession, and mark of 
 difference, whereby Christians are distinguished from 
 others that are not baptized; but it is also a sign of regen-
 
 72 PIRECTORY OF y^DA STREET 
 
 eration, or the new birth. The baptism of young children 
 is to be retained in the Church. 
 
 XVIII. Of the Lord's Stepper. 
 
 The Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the love 
 that Christians ought to have among themselves one to 
 another, but rather is a sacrament of our redemption by 
 Christ's death; insomuch that, to such as rightly, worthily, 
 and with faith receive the same, the bread which we break 
 is a partaking of the body of Christ; and likewise the cup 
 of blessing is a partaking of the blood of Christ. 
 
 Transubstantiation, or the change of the substance of 
 bread and wine in the Supper of our Lord, cannot be 
 proved by Holy Writ, but is repugnant to the plain words 
 of Scripture, overthroweth the nature of a sacrament, and 
 hath given occasion to many superstitions. 
 
 The body of Christ is given, taken, and eaten in the Sup- 
 per, only after a heavenly and spiritual manner. And the 
 means whereby the body of Christ is received and eaten in 
 the Supper, is faith. 
 
 The sacrament of the Lord's Supper was not by Christ's 
 ordinance reserved, carried about, lifted up, or worshiped. 
 
 XIX. Of both Kinds. 
 
 The cup of the Lord is not to be denied to the lay peo- 
 ple; for both the parts of the Lord's Supper, by Christ's 
 ordinance and commandment, ought to be administered to 
 all Christians alike. 
 
 XX. Of the one Oblation of Christ, finished upon the Cross. 
 
 The offering of Christ, once made, is that perfect redemp- 
 tion, propitiation, and satisfaction for all the sins of the
 
 ^ETHODIST EPISCOPAL PHURCH. 
 
 whole \VMi-lil. Imili uriginal and actual; and there is none 
 other satisfaction for sin but that alone. Wherefore the 
 sacrifice of masses, in the which it is commonly said that 
 the priest doth offer Christ for tin* ijuick and the dead, to 
 have remission of pain or guilt, is a blasphemous fable, and 
 dangerous deceit. 
 
 XXI. <>f t/,. '/ ,. <>f .I///,/,,'. 
 
 The ministers of Christ are not commanded by God's law 
 either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from 
 marriage; therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other 
 Christians, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall 
 judge the same to serve best to godliness. 
 
 XXII. <>f the Kites and Ceremonies of Churches. 
 
 It is not necessary that rites and ceremonies should in all 
 places be the same, or exactly alike; for they have been 
 always different, and may be changed according to the 
 diversity of countries, times, and men's manners, so that 
 IK itluiig be ordained against God's word. Whosoever, 
 through his private judgment, willingly and purposely <loth 
 ojM-nly break the rites and ceremonies of the Church to 
 which he belongs, which are not repugnant to the word of 
 God, and are ordained and approved by common authority, 
 ought to be rebuked openly, that otln-i> may fear to do the 
 like, as one that offendeth against the common order 
 I the Church, and woundeth the consciences of weak 
 brethren. 
 
 Every particular Church may ordain, change, or abolish 
 rites and ceremonies, so that all things may be done to 
 edification
 
 74 PIRECTORY OF 
 
 XXIII. Of the Rulers of the United States of America. 
 
 The president, the congress, the general assemblies, the 
 governors, and the councils of state, as the delegates of the 
 people, are the rulers of the United States of America, 
 according to the division of power made to them by the 
 Constitution of the United States, and by the constitutions 
 of their respective states. And the said states are a sov- 
 ereign and independent nation, and ought not to be subject 
 to any foreign jurisdiction.* 
 
 XXIV. Of Christian Metis Goods. 
 
 The riches and goods of Christians are not common, as 
 touching the right, title, and possession of the same, as 
 some do falsely boast. Notwithstanding, every man ought, 
 of such things as he possesseth, liberally to give alms to the 
 poor, according to his ability. 
 
 XXV. Of a Christian Man's Oath. 
 
 As we confess that vain and rash swearing is forbidden 
 Christian men by our Lord Jesus Christ and James his 
 apostle, so we judge that the Christian religion doth not 
 prohibit, but that a man may swear when the magistrate 
 requireth, in a cause of faith and charity, so it be done 
 according to the prophet's teaching, in justice, judgment, 
 and truth. 
 
 * As far as it respects civil affairs, we believe it the duty of Chris- 
 tians, and especially all Christian ministers, to be subject to the 
 supreme authority of the country where they may reside, and to use 
 all laudable means to enjoin obedience to the powers that be; and 
 therefore it is expected that all our preachers and people, who may 
 be under the British or any other government, will behave them- 
 selves as peaceable and orderly subjects.

 GENERAL RULES OF THE M. E. CHURCH. 
 
 In the latter end of the year 1731) eight or ten persons 
 came to Mr. Wesley in London, who appeared to be deeply 
 convinced of sin, and earnestly groaning for redemption. 
 They desired, as did two or three more the next day, that 
 he would spend some time with them in prayer, and advise 
 them how to flee from the wrath to come, which they saw 
 continually hanging over their heads. That he might have 
 more time for this great work, he appointed a day when 
 they might all come together; which from thenceforward 
 they did every week, namely, on 7'AwiWay, in the evening. 
 To these, and as many more as desired to join with them 
 (tor their iiuml>tT increased daily), he gave those advices 
 from time to time which he judged most needful for them; 
 and they always concluded their meeting with prayer suited 
 to their several necessities. 
 
 This was the rise of the UNITED SOC-IKTY, first in Europe, 
 ami then in America. Such a Society is no other than "a 
 r<i/njnin'/ of tn> n having the form and seeking the power of 
 ju.lliH, NX, nn ited in order to pray toyether, to receive the word 
 <>f ,.,-/,<>, /,,//,,/,, a,, d to watch over one another in love, that 
 f/t ;/ i'i>/ help each other to icork out tin // W/v/fio/i." 
 
 That it may the more easily be discerned whether they 
 an- indeed working out their own salvation, each Society is
 
 7G PIRECTORY OF ^DA TREET 
 
 divided into smaller companies, called classes, according to 
 their respective places of abode. There are about twelve 
 persons in a class, one of whom is styled the Leader. It is 
 his duty, 
 
 1. To see each person in his class once a week at least; 
 in order, (1.) To inquire how their souls prosper. (2.) To 
 advise, reprove, comfort, or exhort, as occasion may require. 
 (3.) To receive what they are willing to give toward the 
 relief of the Preachers, Church, and poor.* 
 
 2. To meet the Ministers and the Stewards of the Society 
 once a week; in order, (1.) To inform the Minister of any 
 that are sick, or of anv that walk disorderlv, and will not be 
 reproved. (2.) To pay the Stewards what they have 
 received of their several classes in the week preceding. 
 
 There is only one condition previously required of those 
 who desire admission into these Societies, " a desire to flee 
 from the wrath to come, and to be saved from their sins." 
 But wherever this is really fixed in the soul, it will be shown 
 by its fruits. 
 
 It is therefore expected of all who continue therein, that 
 they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation, 
 
 First, bv doing no har.n, by avoiding evil of every kind, 
 especially that which is most generally practiced; such as, 
 
 The taking of the name of God in vain. 
 
 The profaning the day of the Lord, either by doing ordi- 
 nary work therein or by buying or selling. 
 
 Drunkenness, buying or selling spirituous liquors, or 
 drinking them, unless in cases of extreme necessity. 
 
 Slaveholding; buying or selling slaves. 
 
 Fighting, quarreling, brawling, brother going to law with 
 
 *This part refers to towns and cities, where the poor are generally 
 numerous and church expenses considerable.
 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL PHURCH. 
 
 brother; returning evil for evil, or railing for railing; the 
 using 1 many words in buying '" selling. 
 
 Tlii- Iniying or selling goods licit have not paid the duty. 
 
 Tin* giving or taking thing* on usury, that is, unlawful 
 interest. 
 
 1 ncharitable <r unprofitable conversation; particularly 
 speaking -\il of magistrates or ministers. 
 
 Doing t ntliers as we would not they should do uni 
 
 Doing what we know is not for the glory of God; as, 
 
 The putting on of gold and costly apparel. 
 
 The taking such diversions as cannot he used in the name 
 of the Lord .lesus. 
 
 The singing those songs, or reading those books, which do 
 not tend to the knowledge or love of God. 
 
 Softness and needless self-indulgence. 
 
 Laying up treasures upon earth. 
 
 Borrowing without a probability of paying; or taking up 
 go<ds without a probability of paying for them. 
 
 It is expected of all who continue in these Societies that 
 they should continue to evidence their desire of salvation, 
 
 Secondly, by doing good; by being in every kind merci- 
 ful after their power; as they have opportunity, doing good 
 of every possible sort, and, as far as possible, to all men : 
 
 To their bodies of the ability which God giveth, by 
 giving food to the hungry, by clothing the naked, l,\ visit- 
 ing or helping them that are sick or in prison: 
 
 To their souls, by instructing, reproving, or exhorting all 
 we have any intercourse with; trampling under foot that 
 enthusiastic doctrine that "we are not to do good unless 
 nur Itfnrts be fr< /<>//." 
 
 My doing good, especially to them that are of the house- 
 hold of faith, or groan ! bej employing them j,
 
 78 PIRECTORY OP 
 
 ably to others, buying one of another, helping each other 
 in business, and so much the more because the world will 
 love its own and them only, 
 
 By all possible diligence and frugality^ that the Gospel 
 be not blamed. 
 
 By running with patience the race which is set before 
 them, denying themselves^ and taking up their cross daily; 
 submitting to bear the reproach of Christ, to be as the filth 
 and offscouring of the world; and looking that men should 
 say all manner of evil of them falsely for the Lord?s sake. 
 
 It is expected of all who desire to continue in these 
 Societies that they should continue to evidence their desire 
 of salvation, 
 
 Thirdly, by attending upon all the ordinances of God; 
 such are, 
 
 The public worship of God: 
 
 The ministry of the word, either read or expounded: 
 
 The Supper of the Lord: 
 
 Family and private prayer: 
 
 Searching the Scriptures: 
 
 Fasting or abstinence. 
 
 These are the General Rules of our Societies; all which 
 we are taught of God to observe, even in his written word, 
 which is the only rule, and the sufficient rule, both of our 
 faith and practice. And all these we know his Spirit writes 
 on truly awakened hearts. If there be any among us who 
 observes them not, who habitually breaks any of them, let 
 it be known unto them who watch over that soul as they 
 who must give an account. We will admonish him of the 
 error of his ways. We will bear with him for a season. 
 But if then he repent not, he hath no more place among us. 
 We have delivered our own souls.
