GEORGE WHITEFIELD AND JoHN WESLEY
Few characters could be more completely the con-
verse, and in the Churches exigencies more happily
the supplement- of one another, than were those OF
George Whitefeld and John Wesley; and had their
views been IDENTICAL and their abors coincldentall
along, their large services to the gospel might have
repeated Paul and Barnabas. Wh'telield was soul,
and Wesley was system. Whitefleld was a sum
mer cloud, which burst at morning or noon III ira
grant exhalation over ample tract, and took the
rest of the day to gather again; Wesley was the
polished conduit III the midst of the garden through
which the water glided in pearly brightness and
perennial mu tic, the same vivid stream from day
to day.
Alter preaching raroyysm, Whitefield lay pant
ing on his couch, spent, breahess, and death-iike
after his morning sermon in the Foundry, Wesley
would mount his pony, and trot and chat and
gather simples, till he reached some country hamlet
where he would bait his charger, and talk through
the little sermon with the villagers, and remount
his pony and trot away again. In his aerial pose
Whi,efeld's eagle eye drank iustre from the source
Of life, and loved to look down Oh men in assem-
bed myriads; Wesey's fallen glance did not sweep
20 far, but it searched more keenly and marked
more infinitely where it pierced. A master of as
semblies Whitefield was no match for the isolated
man seldom coping with the multitude, but strong
In astute sagacity and personal ascendency, Yves
ley could conquer any number, one by one. White
field the powder-blast in the quarry. and by
one explosive sermon, would shake district and
detach materials for other mems long work deft,
neat, and painstaking, Wesley loved to trim and
split each fragment into uniform pnths and polish
ed stones. Or taken otherwise Whitefield was the
hargeman or wagner who brought the timber of
the house, and Wesley was the architect who set it
up Whitefeld had no patience for ecclesiastical
polly, no aptitude for pastoral deas with a
beaver-like propensity fer building, Wesley was al
ways constructing societies. and with a king-li
craft of ruling was most at home when presiding
over q class or conference 1t was their infecity
that they did not always work together it was the
happiness of the age, and the furtherance of the
gospel that they lived alongside of one another
