Francis of Assisi, a Wesley and a Fletcher of Madeley; as between William Booth and Charles Haddon Spurgeon, called, every one of them, because he was what he was. Then let us remember that if He chooses a man for what he is, it is because He knows that the work needs just this very man.
The answer was invariably "No!" and in this particular instance the thought of her saintly friend at Madeley arose to make the idea doubly disagreeable to her.
Farewell, in Jesus! Tell Mrs. Counds I shall greatly rejoice if she remembers Lot's wife." To Mr. IRELAND: "MADELEY, September 13th, 1784. "MY DEAR FRIEND, I keep in my sentry-box till Providence removes me. My situation is quite suited to my little strength.
"But Eve Miss Madeley gave me the idea that Dudley people must be great, rough, sooty men. Don't laugh at me, please. You know very well, Eve, that you always talk in that way. Of course, I knew that there must be people of a different kind, but there now, you're making me confused, and I don't know what I meant to say." She was a thin-faced, but rather pretty girl, with auburn hair.
I'm not fond of writing letters, as you know. But I've written a good many since then. At last it came to another meeting. I went over to Dudley on purpose, and saw Miss Madeley on the Castle Hill. I had liked the look of her from the first, and I liked it still better now. By dint of persuasion, I made her tell me all about herself." "Did she tell you the truth?"
A week later, Hilliard again called at the music-shop, and talked for half an hour with Miss Ringrose, who had no fresh news from Eve. His visits were repeated at intervals of a few days, and at length, towards the end of June, he learnt that Miss Madeley was about to return to London; she had obtained a new engagement, at the establishment in Holborn of which Patty had spoken.
He turned quite religious, and went regular to chapel, and has done ever since; and he wouldn't touch a drop of anything, tempt him who might. It was a case of conversion, if ever there was one. "So there remained only Eve and her brother?" "Yes. He was a steady lad, Tom Madeley, and never gave his sister much trouble. He earns his thirty shillings a week now.
But he must pursue the study with due regard to honour and delicacy; he would act the spy no more. As Eve had said, they were pretty sure to meet before long; if his patience failed it was always possible for him to write a letter. Four days went by and he saw nothing of her. On the fifth, as he was walking homeward in the afternoon, he came face to face with Miss Madeley in Gower Street.
To the Methodists in and about Madeley: "MY DEAR COMPANIONS IN TRIBULATION, Peace and mercy, faith, hope, and love be multiplied to you all from the Father of mercies through the Lord Jesus Christ, by the spirit of grace! I thank you for your kind remembrance of me in your prayers. I am yet spared to pray for you. Oh, that I had more power with God! I would bring down Heaven into all your hearts.
I got an answer on black-edged paper. Miss Madeley wrote to tell me that her father had recently died, and that she had found employment at Dudley; with thanks for my kindness and so on. It was rather a nicely written letter, and after a day or two I wrote again. I heard nothing hardly expected to; so in a fortnight's time I wrote once more. Significant, wasn't it?
