Winchester, Caleb Thomas. Life of John Wesley. **$1.50. Macmillan.
Professor Winchester “points out that Wesley was the child of his age in his distrust of enthusiasm. He laid great stress upon an intelligent faith, and endeavored himself to be clear, candid, and logical. That he could have carried on his especial work within the Anglican church, had the bishops of his day held more statesmanlike ideas as to their duty is plain enough; in fact, he never abandoned that church nor did he desire his followers to do so. Yet the logic of events made the organization of a distinctive Methodist body inevitable.”—Critic.
