: John Wesley that we might hear what he has to say on the subject of war. Charles Yrigoyen, Jr. in his book "John Wesley:Holiness of Heart and Life" quotes Wesley's sermon "The Doctrine of Original Sin (1756)".
: "[People] in general can never be [considered] to be reasonable creatures, till they know not war any more. So long as this monster stalks uncontrolled, where is reason, virtue, humanity? they are utterly excluded; they have no place; they are a name, and nothing more."
