had in a remarkable degree that

as they heard him speak, and came
under the domination of his PERSONAL
ty, that he was man of power. he
did not seem small to them. Indeed,
he often seemed more than man. Two
boys came to hear him preach, deter
mined to stone him. Their pockets
were full of rocks, and they carried
stones in each hand. After Wesley be-
gan to speak, they stood open n-mouthed
and wide-eyed for few moments, and
then one, dropping his stones, said to
his neighbor, He's not man! He's
not manr' After the meeting was
over one Of the youths stood near q.
gate where Wesley must go out, and
as he passed slowly, the young fellow
pinched Wesley's leg through his
clothing, and shouted, He is man
He is mani" Wesley laid his band
upon the boys head, and said, "God
bless thee, my lad" Afterward this
boy became one of the Evangelist's
most faithful preachers. Rev. Louis A..
