How easy it is for men to mix up their own fancies, or the vain conceits of others, with divine truth, or rather, how hard it is to avoid doing so, we may see by the case of John Wesley. Wesley was one of the most devout, and conscientious, and, on the whole, one of the most rational, Scriptural, practical and common-sense men the Christian Church ever had.
He himself had been a Westminster boy, and all his great ability and strong character were bent to furthering the interests of the school. The roll of names of those educated at Westminster includes Dryden, Bishop Atterbury, Cowley, Warren Hastings, Gibbon, Thomas Cowper, Charles Wesley, Lord John Russell, and many others well known wherever the English tongue is spoken.
Wesley looked puzzled. "Pardon me, is not that the same thing?" "No, it ain't. I'd be glad enough of my little bit of money to be sure: but there's more things than money in this world, Mr. Wesley." "So I have sometimes endeavoured to teach." "There's more things than money," repeated Mr.
On the opposite corner, her bunched skirts held high, stood Miss Lois Daggett. "Please wait a minute, Mr. Elliot," she called. "I'll walk right along under your umbrella, if you don't mind." Wesley Elliot bowed and crossed the street. "Certainly," he said. "I don't know why I didn't bring my own umbrella this morning," said Miss Daggett with a keen glance at Elliot.
Steve, remember what you heard your father say about the man who once started to make his home on Catamount Island; but the flood came and upset his plans?" "Say, do you mean Wesley Coombs?" demanded Steve, quickly. "Yes," replied Max. "Well, you got things a little mixed there.
Sir Thomas Moore declared that to give up witchcraft was to throw away the sacred scriptures. John Wesley, too, was a firm believer in ghosts, and insisted upon their existence after all laws upon the subject had been repealed in England, and I beg of you to remember that John Wesley was the founder of the Methodist Church.
It might seem as if the Wesleyan movement was about to be forestalled, in general character though not in detail, under the full sanction and direction of some of the principal heads of the English Church: or as if the movement were begun, and only wanted such another leader as Wesley was. There was not enough fire in Robert Nelson's character for such a part.
Wesley pacing the room with his hands beneath his coat-tails, halted suddenly and flung up both arms, as a man lifts a stone to dash it down. "What! Accept a favour from him! Have you lived with me these years and know me so little? And can you fear God and think to save your daughter out of hell by giving her back her sin, to rut in it?" Mrs. Wesley shook her head helplessly.
I shall no longer concern myself with your comings and goings, except so far as to prevent you from coming here and disturbing Clara. Have you put that down?" "Wesley, my boy, I'll pay you for this." "If you do, it will be the first thing you have paid for since you came North."
They knew Miss Wesley, daughter of Charles Wesley, with whom I once dined at your house. She told them, had he not prematurely died, that she was going to be married to John Henderson. Is this true? I have a treasure for you.
