“I am not afraid that the
people called Methodist
should ever cease to exist
either in Europe or
America. But I am afraid
lest they should only exist
as a dead sect, having the
form of religion without
the power. And this
undoubtedly will be the
case unless they hold fast
both the doctrine, spirit,
and discipline with which
they first set out.”
John Wesley
