A OCULAR CHRIsTIAN.-A poor man
lived near Deacon Murray, referred to in
the tract, "Worth a Dollar" and occasion

milk. One morning he came when the
family were at breakfast. Mrs. Murray
rose to wait upon him, but the deacon said
TO her swat till after breakfast" She did
so, and meantime the deacon made some
inquiries of the man about his family and
circumstances. After family worship the
deacon invited him to 90 out to the barn
with him. When they got into the yard
the deacon, pointing to one OF the COWS,
exclaimed, There, take that COW, and
drive her home" The man thanked him
heartily for the COW, and started for home,
but the deacon was observed TO stand IN
the attitude Of deep thought until the man
had gone some rods. He then looked up
and called out. Hey, bring that COW back"
The man locked around, and the deacon
added, "Let that COW come back, and you
come back, too" He did so, and when

said: 1T is John Wesley" His manner
was very calm, not imprisoned like Mr..
Whitefeld's; but the people seemed quite
as much moved. Mr.. Whitefeld looked
as if be were pleading with the people to
escape from danger which he could SEE
but they could not, and would draw them
to heaven in spite Of themselves. Mr..
Wesley did not appear so much to plead
as to speak with authority. Mr.. White
field seemed to throw his whole soul into
the peril Of his hearers. Mr.. Wesley
seemed to rest with his whole soul on the
truth he spoke, and by the force of his
own calm conviction to make every one
feel that what he said was true. If his
hearers were moved, it was not with the
passion Of the preacher; i; was with the
bare reality of what he said. But they
were moved indeed. No wandering eve
