farm with the owner and had seen
the fine condition Of all the crops.
There had been neither too much
ner too little rain that season, and
everything had prospered.

Immense Personal Power uced With
Wisdom and l.lberaiity.
Even upon the manners OF lhe
English people no man of his CEN
tury had so much influence as John
Wesley. It was peculiarly fortunate
that the leader Of great popular
movement united with intense re-
Ggious earnestness the, tastes of the.
scholar and the instincts of the gem
tleman. He never felt it necessary
to vulgarize his teaching or to make
any concessions to coarseness. In
his spotless linen, his sassock, his
black hose and silver shoe buckles
he was a model of scrupulous pre-
cision in personal attire, and his
oft quoted saying, Cleanliness is
next to godliness," well expresses the
almost fastidious habit Of the man.
His dignified yet gentle courtesy.
his refined self possession, made his
very presence an example and an in
spiration.
And it should be said that Wesley
used his immense pareonal influence
with singular wisdom ana eliberality.
He had in his haissi control of the
whole system of Methodist disci-
pline; but he did. not attempt to
bind the members Of his societies
by narrow or rigid rules, still less to
impose upon them arbitrarily his
own judgments. He was anxious
only that Methodists should be good
Christians. On doubtful matters he
did not prescribe or prohibit, but
left the decision in such cases where
it belongs-with the individual con-
science.
In an admirable sermon on amuse-
ments, after admitting that much
may be said for the dfama-he was
lover of dramatic literature him
self, and used to advise his preachers
to read plays that they might culti-
vate q natural mode Of speech-he
decides that, for himself, he could
not go to the theater or play at
cards with a clear conscience; but

Richard noticed that his daughter

Two men were set to watch her ev-
