The Chairmen of our Districts are required, not only to examine very minutely, in their District Meetings, all persons proposed to travel as Preachers among us; but also to report very minutely, in their District Minutes, for the consideration of the Conference, the opinion of the District Meetings, after such examination, respecting their health, piety, and moral character, ministerial abilities, belief of our doctrines, attachment to our discipline, and freedom from debt, as well as from-ali secular incumbrances. In the same District Minutes, th Preacher who recommends any candidate, shall state his age, and sign a recommendatory character of him, which may forthwith be copied, if the Conference receive such candidate upon trial, into the book provided for that purpose. "4. In some places, and in some particulars, we find our discipline has not been sufficiently enforced. Tickets have been given to certain persons, who have entirely given up Class-meeting; and Leaders haye given notes of admission by their own authority. Let our Superintendants take care to put an end to these irregularities; and let them also require all our Leaders, regularly to attend their respective Leaders' meetings. "N.

The Supernatural and the Circuit Riders

Book Description
In The Supernatural and the Circuit Riders, Rimi Xhemajli shows how a small but passionate movement grew and shook the religious world through astonishing signs and wonders. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, early American Methodist preachers, known as circuit riders, were appointed to evangelize the American frontier by presenting an experiential gospel: one that featured extraordinary phenomena that originated from God’s Spirit. In employing this evangelistic strategy of the gospel message fueled by supernatural displays, Methodism rapidly expanded. Despite beginning with only ten official circuit riders in the early 1770s, by the early 1830s, circuit riders had multiplied and caused Methodism to become the largest American denomination of its day. In investigating the significance of the supernatural in the circuit rider ministry, Xhemajli provides a new historical perspective through his eye-opening demonstration of the correlation between the supernatural and the explosive membership growth of early American Methodism, which fueled the Second Great Awakening. In doing so, he also prompts the consideration of the relevance and reproduction of such acts in the American church today.
