ELIZABETH THE DISINHERITED DAUGHTER
BY E. BEN. EZ-ER
PREFACE
This booklet is little more than a compilation. The materials were abundant
for a much larger book. Elizabeth's divine _experience_ was so striking, so
valuable to the cause of truth, that it has not been essentially abridged.
But the _results_ in biography, though well known to all who knew her, have
been cut down to the smallest dimensions that would allow that brilliant
experience to shine out.
Elizabeth had a lifelong conviction that God required the publication of
His remarkable dealings with her, and in her approach to the river of
death solemnly enjoined it upon her youngest son and executor. His own
convictions also agree with the requirement. Here are obvious reasons:
1. The early history of Methodism has suffered by the dropping out of
many striking illustrations of her power. By neglecting to record them
permanently while well authenticated, they are now beyond recovery. As this
providential work moves on gloriously, making world-wide history, these few
preserved incidents of her early triumph become more and more valuable by
the lapse of time.
2. Providentially this experience is too rare and too far back in American
Methodism to be lost out.
3. The controversy in which this experience was so strong a factor has not
become obsolete. The "horrible decrees" have indeed been very generally
driven from the pulpit, but not entirely. Our work as polemics will not
be finished until they leave the schools and the books, and cease to be
pillows for the multitudes who lull themselves to slumber over the notion
of "sovereign grace and waiting God's time," and cease to goad despondent
souls to despair, with the charge of being "from eternity passed by" as
unredeemed "reprobates."
