Praying for a New Methodist movement to awaken in Canada, to "spread Scriptural holiness over the land".

Doctrine & Discipline of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Canada, (1850):
"Q. What shall we do for the rising generation?"

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @GospelRencontre]

"Sanctification ... What a remarkable blessing from the Lord attends that doctrine! What want or dearth is felt in that church or society where it is not preached, fully, clearly, thoroughly, heartily & as a present salvation, attainable *now* by faith!"
- James Caughey (1860)

According to these accounts [of early Canadian Methodist history] until the mid-19th century, denominational organization took a back seat to the operation of the Holy Spirit in the heart of the individual sinner in British North America.

"They told a story about American & later Canadian Methodist preachers travelling through the backwoods, setting off revivals that brought hundreds of converts into their church."

In Canada, the class meeting quickly became the setting for evangelism... A writer for the "Canadian Methodist Quarterly" (1890) concluded that when faithfully worked out, the class meeting was one of the most efficient evangelizing agencies the world had ever known.

Trusting in the merits of Christ, as a helpless, guilty & undone sinner, I shall obtain the remission of my sins. And being regenerated by the Holy Spirit, I shall be enabled, by His help, thence forward to please God & keep His commandments (Rom 8:3-4)
-Cat. Wes. Method. (1846)

Canadian Methodist Alexander Sutherland (1871):

[Canadian Methodist @CanadaMethodist]

All those who do not repent of their sins & believe in Christ with that faith whereby we receive & rest upon Him alone for salvation, as He is offered to us in the Gospel, must remain forever under the curse & vengeance of God's holy law (Mark 16:16)
- Cat. Wes. Method. (1846)

8(7) What rule hath God given for our direction in prayer?
The whole Word of God is of use to direct us in prayer; but the special rule of direction is that form of prayer which Christ taught His disciples, commonly called the Lord's Prayer.

-Cat. of the Wes. M., Canada (1846)

[Canadian Methodist @CanadaMethodist]

8(4) Ought we not often to think upon what we have heard & read?
We ought often to think upon what we have heard & read & so lay up the Word of God in our hearts & meditate therein day & night.

-Catechisms of the Wesleyan Methodists, Canada (1846)

Methodism is a missionary Church, or she is nothing. To lose her missionary spirit is to be recreant to the great purpose for which God raised her up. Nor can she give to missions a secondary place without being false to her traditions & heaven-appointed work.
-Sutherland (1904)

I'm working on a new YouTube short on this revival:
It was during the 1852 Christmas vacation, at gospel meeting on campus, under the preaching of his classmate, that Nathanael Burwash himself found peace with God.
