Excerpt from The Separation of the Methodists From the Church of England The life of the Methodists was a constant protest against that of the age. They disapproved of the gaudy dress then in vogue, and so they adopted drab and somber colors.8 They advocated self-denial even to the extent of giving up the popular but then expensive luxury of drinking tea.9 They looked askance at many of the publications of the day, and would have nothing to do with them, as frivolous or obscene.10 Whether the Methodists were entirely correct in their estimate of the customs and habits of their time we cannot at this point deter mine. Here we wish simply to Show that they were dissatisfied with its moral condition. Like all severe moralists they thought their country was on the downward grade.
