Excerpt from Charles Wesley Seen in His Finer and Less Familiar Poems With the one exception just indicated, these various aims have not been so hard to harmonize as it might appear. Lve should take the Metho dist poet, as it is attempted to present him here fairly, yet at his best; with appreciation, but dis criminating; not allowing sympathy and admira tion to run into blind worship, nor difference of creed to hide from us his merits and his uses. There does not exist in America or England that Christian Church, sect, or man, that can afford to forget his obligations to Charles Wesley and we can acknowledge those obligations best by ino creasing them, as this book aims to do.
