From the author: Of all the prudential regulations established by John Wesley for the unification and spiritual culture of his early Methodist societies none proved more effective in furthering the desired ends than the institution of the class-meeting. Nor has the effectiveness of this prudential means of grace been limited to the country where Methodism was born, or to the early period of its history. All historians of Methodism alike acknowledge the class-meeting to have been among the most potent factors contributing to the success of Methodist bodies in all countries down to the present time. In a very important degree they are the life of Methodist churches everywhere, and their tone and character are the measure of the church's spirituality and fruitfulness. There are painful evidences, however, that this once effective aid to the accomplishment of the great end for which Methodism was originally raised up -- that of spreading scriptural holiness over the world -- is not now held in as high regard, even by the people calling themselves Methodists, as it should be; and there is evident danger, too, of its so far falling into disesteem and change of character as to become only the nominal representative of what it once was in reality. In many quarters it is already very far gone from the original type; in other localities it exists, if at all, in name and appearance only; and in some places, it has become altogether a thing of the past. These are facts to be lamented by all lovers of Zion, since the decline of so valuable a means of grace and so effective an institution for increasing the church's fruitfulness is indicative of vital decay in the church at large as its occasion. There is certainly need of reformation in this matter at once. Restore the class-meetings of Methodism to what they once were, and the power and efficiency of Methodism in all its branches will be incalculably increased. In hope of contributing somewhat to the realization of this end, the following pages have been prepared, and are now given to the public. This edition includes an Active Table of Contents. Contents: 1. Preparation 2. Origin 3. Development 4. Objections 5. Benefits 6. Obligations 7. Decline 8. Revival 9. Pastors 10. Leaders 11. Problems 12. Methods 13. Mistakes 14. Ministries 15.

(Excerpt from The Holy Spirit: A Study During these prot...)
Excerpt from The Holy Spirit: A Study During these protracted delays the manuscript was occasionally reviewed and revised, and the subject was one of much thought and study, the results of which have been incorporated in the book as it now appears. The rich spiritual benefit received by the author from his research and meditation on the subject, as also his having found the study an invaluable key to nearly the whole Bible, together with the fact that there are few volumes to be found broadly treating the general subject of The Holy Spirit, have been his most cogent reasons for the production of this vol ume. Much less attention has been given to the Holy Spirit and His work by religious and theological writers generally than the subject has merited; and most of those who have written on the subject have confined themselves to certain phases of it, rather than attempting to discuss it in a more general way. Of course, one could not discuss every phase of truth respecting the Holy Spirit presented in the Scriptures without either confining himself to scrappy comments, or else producing so bulky a vol ume as to be impractical for common use. Not wish ing to go to either of these extremes, and vet desiring to set forth all the more important scriptural phases of the subject, has led to the production of the present work.

Excerpt from Hymns That Are Immortal: With Some Account of Their Authorship, Origin, History and Influence The preparation of hymns that are IM mortal was undertaken as a result of studies pursued by the author in the fulfilment of duties imposed upon him by his appointment to serve on a committee on hymn-book re vision, and also from a' conviction that there is a field for its circulation within which it will accomplish much good. The compilation of the hvmns it contains, and of the historical, biographical, explana torv and illustrative information regarding them, should be of interest to all Christians, and of particular interest and helpfulness to pastors, evangelists, lay preachers, Sunday school superintendents and teachers, and gos pel workers in general. One special aim in the production of the work has been that of making it practically helpful to these classes.

Excerpt from G. Harry Agnew, a Pioneer Missionary Personal acquaintance with Mr. Agnew, and more or less knowledge of his work during all the years he spent on the foreign field, assure me that the char acter of the man and the value of his service to the church render it eminently proper that such a record of his life and labors as follows should be given to the reading public; while many years of personal ac quaintance with the author of the work, as also his established reputation as a writer, and the interest and carefulness with which he has evidently devoted himself to its production, convince me that the volume he has produced will be received and read with general interest and satisfaction.

Wilson Thomas Hogue was born on March 6, 1852 in Lyndon, New York, United States. He was the son of Thomas P. Hogg, a native of Scotland, and Sarah Ann Carpenter. The family name was afterward changed to Hogue.
Hogue's boyhood was spent at the district school and in labor on his father's farm. At eighteen he entered the Ten Broeck Free Academy at Franklinville, New York, where he took the classical preparatory course, earning his way by book canvassing and by teaching country schools one term each year. He was unable to go to college, but later, in the midst of the activities of middle life, pursued non-resident courses in the Illinois Wesleyan University and received the degrees of Bachelor of Philosophy in 1897, Master of Arts in 1899, and Ph. D. in 1902.
Hogue was influenced by the atmosphere of his Methodist home, and his thoughts were early turned toward the ministry, and during his days at the academy he began theological reading. In 1873 he united with the Genesee Conference of the Free Methodist Church and commenced the work of the pastor at Jamestown, New York On December 29, of the following year, he married Emma Luella Jones of that town. Having completed the course of study prescribed by the Conference, he was ordained elder in 1877 and for the next fifteen years held important charges in New York State, nine of these years being spent in Buffalo.
From 1892 to 1904 he was president of Greenville College, Greenville, Illinois, the only college of his denomination. During his presidency he held the office of general superintendent, or bishop, of the Free Methodist Church for one year, 1893-1894, and was from 1894 to 1903 editor of the Free Methodist. Under his management it had a broad, scholarly, and dignified character. He was again elected bishop in 1903 and continued in this office till 1919. He was also editor of the Earnest Christian, 1908-1909.
His first book, Handbook of Homiletics and Pastoral Theology (1887), an outgrowth of his ministerial experience, became widely used as a textbook in his own and in other denominations. He subsequently published Revivals and Revival Work (1904); Hymns That Are Immortal (1906), and The Class Meeting as a Means of Grace (1907). His last work of importance, written after he was partially disabled by paralysis, was History of the Free Methodist Church of North America.
Hogue was the chief promoter of the Free Methodist Publishing House, and from boyhood was a contributor to the various publications of the denomination, nearly all of which were at various times under his supervision. His ability as an administrator, his skill as a parliamentarian, and his exceptional capacity for work made him well adapted for the functions of denominational leadership, which were continued even during his latter days.
