By ordaining lay preachers and superintendents for America, and by putting its chapels under the protection of the Toleration Act, measures which Wesley deemed necessary, Methodism became separate from the Anglican Established Church. As a distinct body, it gained a. multitude of adherents in England and America. They founded a town called Herrnkut. Zinzendorf became their bishop.
"The Psalms of David have supplied the Christian church with its best psalmody for nearly three thousand years," continued I. "They constitute the reservoir from which Luther, and Watts, and Wesley, and Doddridge, and a host of other singers have drawn their inspiration, and in which myriads untold have found the expression of their highest and holiest experiences, myriads who never heard of Homer.
All unconsciously she had been expecting to find Wesley as he had been when they parted. Could this gaunt, haggard creature, with the unkempt beard and prematurely grey hair and the hollow, beseeching eyes, be the ruddy, boyish-faced husband of her youth? She gave a choking cry of pain and shame, and the sick man turned his head. Their eyes met.
I only have done what may injure them though I do not think it will: and when father came along the path just now, he was thinking of them rather than of me of me only as I might injure them." She was right indeed. Mr. Wesley had left the house thinking of her: but a few steps had called up the faces of his sons, and by habit, since he thought of them always on his walks.
At Durban, similar work was done. Geo. Lowe as chairman, did splendid work among the refugees, of whom at one time there were 21,000 in Durban alone. This relief work was splendidly organized and most effective. The Sisters Evelyn and Miriam, who organized much of this work, were Wesley deaconesses employed in South Africa.
She came to no new conclusion; for a sense of injustice gave a twist to her thinking from the start. All his daughters held Mr. Wesley in awe: they never dreamed, for instance, of comparing their lovers with him in respect of dignity or greatness.
Thank the Lord you have come to yourself at last!" They shook hands and Wesley went down the road while Mrs. Comstock entered the cabin. She could not swallow food. She stood in the back door watching the sky for moths, but they did not seem to be very numerous. Her spirits sank and she breathed unevenly. Then she heard the front screen.
At first Cennick himself had the same opinion; but before very long his common sense came to his rescue. He differed with Wesley on the point; he differed with him also on the doctrine of predestination; he differed with him, thirdly, on the doctrine of Christian perfection; and the upshot of the quarrel that Wesley dismissed John Cennick from his service.
He continued in the trained, impassive tones of the advocate: "Every one in this room knows the two young men. It would be waste of time for me to strive to make anything in common between John Sprague and Wesley Boone. Here, where they both grew up, that is quite unnecessary." "I I referred to their conduct as soldiers," Boone cried, hoarsely. "My son lost his life in the service of his country.
"He's not a boy," said Stella, flushing hotly. "He's a man a man's man. You'll like him, John Wesley he's just your kind. I'm not going to tell you. You'll see him at our house, with the others. And he'll be the very one you'd pick out for me yourself. Of course you'll want to tease me by pretending to guess someone else; but you'll know which one he is, without me telling you.
