Great, therefore, as was its moral and spiritual power among large classes of the people, Methodism was never able to take rank among great national reformations. Neither Wesley nor the Wesleyans have ever yielded to a mischievous tendency which has beset most forms of mysticism.
"Gentlemen, I give you another successful trading trip!" "Saw Johnny ride in," one of the men returned. "Kid seems to be settlin’ down, ain’t he? That ought to be good news for Rennie." "One believes in reformations when they are proven by time, Señor Cahill," the man wearing rich but somber Spanish clothing replied.
"Not precisely," said I. "But they have reformed themselves several times, and a number of adequate reformations is a fine thing to confuse the Church. "'Tis heathen they are," said Paddy with conviction. "I was knowing it.
Vast social reformations have originated in individual souls. Truths that now sway the world were first proclaimed by individual lips. Great thoughts that are now the axioms of humanity sprang from the center of individual hearts. Do not suffer others to shape your lives for you; but do all you can to shape them for yourselves.
Little children there are, long as the world shall stand, though not precisely such as we think of when we remember, "Of such is the kingdom of heaven." It was enough for Elsie it is enough for multitudes through all the reformations that she had an earthly defence, even such as she relied on without trouble. She lived in the hour.
'Tis true they have the envy and curses of the old and ugly of both sexes, and a general persecution from all old women; but this is no more than all reformations must expect in their beginning." More than one writer has asserted that it was the wit and beauty of Lady Mary that drew him thither. At the time the Duke was twenty-four and the lady nine years older.
Whittier well, all of them have fallen more or less under the moralistic influence of the country." "That is what I like about Douglas," I said. "He is not a humbug. I like his ironical voice against all these silly movements, like liquor laws; these ideas like God in the little affairs of men; all this barbarism which breaks into religious manias; all these half-baked reformations.
You think at first that this is remarkably like the course of republican reformations in the present day? But there is a wide difference.
Upon that body and stock of inheritance we have taken care not to inoculate any scion alien to the nature of the original plant. All the reformations we have hitherto made have proceeded upon the principle of reference to antiquity; and I hope, nay, I am persuaded, that all those which possibly may be made hereafter will be carefully formed upon analogical precedent, authority, and example.
But that "ability to improve" conceals two principles of which Burke never relaxed his hold. "All the reformations we have hitherto made," he said, "have proceeded upon the principle of reference to antiquity"; and the Appeal from the New to the Old Whigs, which is the most elaborate exposition of his general attitude, proceeds upon the general basis that 1688 is a perpetual model for the future.
