But it's a pity when you know so much about these things, you don't know more." "I do, John. I know that when Jeff-Jack left here he left his proxy at your solicitation with John Wesley Garnet!" "Which, he gave me to understand, was just what he intended to do, anyhow." "O, gave you to understand, of course! But it wasn't, John.
He was Wesley's equal in learning and practical piety. He had been assistant lecturer in theology at Halle University. He was a man of deep spiritual experience; he was only one year younger than Wesley himself; and, therefore, he was thoroughly qualified to help the young English pilgrim over the stile.107 "My brother," he said, "I must first ask you one or two questions.
Some, like the Wesleys, were university men; some, like Hutton, were middle-class tradesmen, of moderate education; some, like Bray, the brazier, were artizans; and all stood on the same footing, and discussed theology with the zeal of novices and the confidence of experts. John Wesley found himself in a strange country.
The opening of the door made a bell tinkle in a back room. A girl came through parted green wool curtains, a girl so flaxen-haired, with such blue eyes like a friendly kitten that Wesley Dean almost forgot the errand that had brought him so far.
I understood he had merely an account against father; an ordinary bill. It is something worse oh, tell me! Father is riding after him! I see it in your face. What is this trouble which I have added to?" "The debt is paid, I believe," answered Mrs. Wesley; but she shook as she said it. "Yet father is riding after him. What is the matter? Let me see your eyes!" But her mother would not.
The walk was leisurely and uninterrupted, with two exceptions, when Wesley Tiffles broke suddenly from his companion, rushed into the entry of a photographic establishment, and examined numerous square feet of show portraits with profound interest. Marcus explained these impulsive movements on the supposition that Tiffles sought to escape from approaching duns.
"If I am asked," says President J. W. Bashford, "why Methodism does not produce more John Wesleys, I assign as one reason of this failure the fact that none of us observe the laws of mental development as John Wesley kept them, and devote the time to mental growth which John Wesley gladly gave.
Margaret took them up and pinched the leather and stroked them. "My, but they are fine!" she cried. Wesley picked up one and slowly turned it in his big hands. He glanced at his foot and back to the shoe. "It's a little bit of a thing, Margaret," he said softly. "Like as not I'll have to take it back. It seems as if it couldn't fit."
John Wesley said, "Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen, they alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven upon the earth." A life surrendered to God will be an invincible life, while the life only partly surrendered will know nothing but defeat.
And I dare presoom to say that she had named them children a-hopin' and a-expectin' some of the high and religious qualities of their namesakes would strike in. But to set and hear Martin Luther swear at John Wesley wuz a sight. And to see John Wesley clench his fists in Martin Luther's hair and kick him wuz enough to horrify any beholder.
