Mr. Campbell recalled that Wesley s preaching created such spiritual fervour as to prevent internecine strife, \yhen the unhappy toilers were contemplating copying the methods of revolutionary France. “The same spirit could save England to-day,” he declared. “I believe that we are entering a- new era. Those alive may see an overwhelming iceturji Ito sOhrist. resulting ‘in the greatest spiritual advance since Christianity began.”.
