Villette, the Ordinary; and I rejoiced to hear that it was the same on all similar occasions. Wesley's Journal, ed. 1827, iv. 287. BOSWELL. In like manner, Boswell in 1768 praised the Rev. Mr. Moore, Mr. Villette's predecessor. 'Mr. Moore, the Ordinary of Newgate, discharged his duty with much earnestness and a fervour for which I and all around me esteemed and loved him. Mr.
The two girls sat down, hand in hand, and Olympia told the tale as it has been set down in these pages. Kate was sobbing when the story ended. She flung her arms about Olympia's neck, and for a time the two sat silent, tearful. "Oh, why didn't he tell me this at the time? It was not Jack's bullet that entered poor Wesley's body. Jack was at his right, at the side of the bed.
I laughed, for I remembered John Wesley's "sulphur and supplication," and so many other cases where ministers had meddled with medicine, sometimes well and sometimes ill, but, as a general rule, with a tremendous lurch to quackery, owing to their very loose way of admitting evidence, that I could not help being amused.
Wesley's account "When we opened the street door, the strong north-east wind drove the flames in with such violence that none could stand against them. But some of our children got out through the windows, the rest through a little door into the garden. I was not in a condition to climb up to the windows, neither could I get to the garden door.
To make a business of religion was to miss its essence, just as to make a business of love evolves a degenerate. Our religion should be a part of our daily lives. The circuit-rider was an apostle: he had no home, drew no salary, owned no property; but gave his life without stint to the cause of humanity. It was Wesley's habit to enter a house any house and say, "Peace be unto this house."
This was obviously the ground of Wesley's dislike of Calvinism, but it did not separate him from Calvinists; so far as a separation did ensue the fault did not lie with Wesley. His misunderstanding with some of the Evangelical clergy of his day arose from the same cause as that which led him into other disputes.
Miss Craven grunted and clutched at her hair. "Mary!" she repeated with a chuckle, "Mary, who has gone through life with Wesley's sermons under her arm and a child out of a Paris convent! There are certainly elements of humour in the idea. But I must have some details. Who was this Locke person?"
Wesley's hand, he made his escape; but had to pull himself up on the front doorstep to take his bearings and assure himself that he stood on his feet. "She graced my humble roof and blest my life, Blest me by a far greater name than wife; Yet still I bore an undisputed sway, Nor was't her task, but pleasure, to obey; Scarce thought, much less could act, what I denied.
Wesley's, and that your mother's, and that, again, your brother John's " "And the sleeve Miss Molly's: I will be content with a sleeve. Only it must have the armorial bearings proper to a fourth daughter, with my simple motto 'Butter and New-laid Eggs." The sound of their merriment reached Mrs. Wesley through an open window, and in the dim kitchen Mrs. Wesley smiled to herself.
If she could have recalled him to life, she cried in self-reproach, she would not ask whether he was all her first impulse had painted him. She had borne up with something like composure when Wesley's death came upon her; but now, tortured by a sense of responsibility in Jack's fate, she gave way to the grief she had so long repressed.
