In addition to 'this she was lecturer in Greek and he retained this pdat'until the•end' of 1735. • When John returned to the Univers- ity he found`-hais brother- Charles the centre of a little group, the Holy.

'In 1730 Wil- liam Morgan; an Irish' student, visit- ed the gaol ate 'teeported that there was a great -opening for work among the prisoners. The friends agreed to visit the Castle (Gaol of Oxford) twice a week and look after the sick in any parish where the clergyman was willing to accept their help." Leaves For America John Wesley's father died in 1735 and late that year he and his brother Charles left for America. General Oglethorpe had planted a colony in Georgia three years earlier and John Wesley was engaged to go out. as Church of England Missionary to the Indians from the.. Society for the 'pro- pagation of the Gospel. Charles went as Secretary to the General and they were accompanied by two of the Ox - fond friends, Benjamin Ingham' and Charles Delamotte. In a letter written just before be sailed he said: "My, chief motive is the . hope of saving my own soul. I cannot hope to attain the same de- gree of tholiness here which I may theme," • On the ship was a company of 26 Moravians going with their bishop, David Nitchrmann, to join some of their own people in Georgia. The Wes- ley group at first held themselves a- part and spent their time in study but the thabits of the simple Germans attracted them and John Wesley soon began to join in their public+ devo- tions. Then he began to take up the study of their language so that be might be able to converse with therm, and the found them admirable folk. One day a, storm blew up and the English passengers were :terrified, but the Moravian were quite calm. The next day Wesley asked one of them if hie people ..were not afraid. The answer surprised him for he was told that .neither he nor his women and ohildren were afraid to die. The journey took three months and on landing Wesley looked up the Mora- vian pastor at Savannah, Mr. Span. genberg, to ask his advisee about his work. Mission in Georgia In his Life of John Wesley, C. T. Winchester reviews the meeting of the two missionaries: "To his surprise, S'pangeneberg said: 'My brother, 1 must first ask you one or two questions. Have you the wit- ness within yourself? Does the Spir- it of God bear witness with your spir- it that you are a child of God?' •and added as Wesley thesitated, 'Do you know Jesus Christ?' ,• "Unaccustomed to being catechised after this fashion, Wesley could only say, 'I know he,is the Saviour of the world.' 'Friend;' replied Spangenberg, 'but do you know he dies caved you?' and when Wesley 'replied, 'I hope be died to save me; pushed the further question, 'Do you know yourself?' 'I do,' answered Wesley; but he adds, in his account of the interview, 'I fear they were vain words.'” Wesley lodged for a few days with the Moravians and during that time he saw that their way of life was similar to that of the first Christians as they are pictured in the Bible. He witnessed the conseeration of ,a new bishop and he could not help contrast- ing their simple service with the oeremon'y to which he had been ac- customed. He wrote that he was "ready to forget the 1700 years be- tween and imagine myself in one of those assemblies where form and state were not, but Paul the tent- maker or Peter the fisherman presid- ed; yet with the demonstration of the Spirit and of power." Wesley's "Collection of Psalms and Hymns" was first publisti'ed in Char- lestown. in 1737. The volume con- tains five of his trans'iations from the German. He himself considered that the "first, rudlinents of the Methodist ' societies" were laid in Georgia In April, 1736, he formed a little society of thirty or forty of the serious mem- bers of his congregation in. what he called the second rise of Methodiem —the first having meet at Oxford in 1729. They met on Wednesday even- ings venings "In order to a free conversation, begun and ended with singing and prayer." A select company meet at the (parsonage ev 1ny Sunday after- noon.

The result is a feeling of youthful health and vigour—"that Krasehen feeling!" wrote that dee had "not found or heard of any Indian on the Continent . of America who had the least desire to be instructed." . • On his journey 'home Wesley put 'down some severe •things• about him- self. imself. He had lots of time to think during his tedious six weeks' voyage. On the third of February,. 1738, he was again in London and there he met a young Moravian graduate of Jena named Bohler who was going as a. missionary to the Carolinas. He was ten years younger than Wesley but' during the time they were to- gether Wesely listened to his teach ings with the(humility of a disciple. By Bohler, Wesley was made to.' be- lieve that he lacked that "faith where- by alone we are saved." "Preach faith," said Bohier, "till you have it, and, then, because you have it, you will preach faith." For three months Wesley followed this advice. He did not consider for- mal,worship proper except in church but he could teach any -where. His biographer, Winckiester, says of him: "He went back to London; he went to Manchester to see his old Oxford friend Clayton; he went to Salisbury to see hititanother, and to .Tiverton to see his brother Samuel; 'he was call- ed back to Oxford .by the illness of his- brother Charles--anid on these journeys, wherever he stopped, in inn for dinner.or at night, with fel- low -travellers on foot or horseback, with people whom he met by the road- side, be lost no opportunity of warn- ing, exhorting, directing men where - ever he found them." On Many the ninth he wrote in his Journal:; "I preached at Great St. Helen's to a very numeerour • congre- gation, On 'He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up- fir us ally how shall he not with him freely give us all things: My heart was • so en- larged to declare the love or God to 'all that were oppressed by the devil, that I did not wonder In the least, when I was afterwards told, "Sir, you must preach here no more." On the twenty-fourth of May, 1733 —a Wednesday—he wrote the follow Ing triumtp$hant passage: "In the evening I went very un- willingly to a society In Aldersgate Street where. one Was reading Luth- er's preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter before nine while he ,was describing the change w hdeh God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my 'heart strangely warmed. I felt.I did trust In Christ, Ohrist alone for my, salva- tion; and an assurance was given me that he had taken, away my .sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death" Referring to this incident, one biographer writes: It is scarcely an exaggeration to say that the scenes which took place at that humble meeting in A]'dersgate Street forms an epoch in English his- tory. The conviction which h then flash- ed upon one of the :most powerful and most active intellects in England is the true source of English Method. During the summer of that year John Wesley • visited the Moravian settlement at Herrnubh and camel back to London in September with' renewed faitb. He preached; wherev- er opportunity offered but most of the London pulpits were closed to him. On New Year's Day, 1739, the Westeys and some of their friends had a Love Feast at Fetter Lane. One of these friends, George Whitefield, Went to Bristol in February and preached to the colliers of Kingswood in the open air. About six weeks lat- er he wrote to John Wesley asking him tocome and take up this work. Wadley went with trepidation, writ- ing at the time: "I could scarcely re- concile mylself to this strange way of prehang in the fields, having been all.1My life (till very., lately) so tena- cious of- every point relating to dec- ency and order, that 'I should have thought the saving of embi almost a sin, it It had not been done in a dharch.

Wesley's Journal -Wesley's Journal is one of the most interesting &tctimients of his. time. Aecordimg to his biographelr, Mr. • Wincheester: "He knows all sorts and conditions of men; he 418 interested in all things that go to make up the daily life 'of ,men. he examines a sdciety of col: likrs in some grimy little Yorkshire village, on the state of their souls, and then he goes to `chis room and writes a letteer to Lord Dartmouth or Lord North of the state of the nation: He knows this England; for .plain people talk with him. They tell hili not only of their religious doubts and. fears and joys; they tell thine of. the injustice of the ''squire and the are totalize of the parson, of the drunk- enness at the ,public house, of the failure of the crops and the high price of bread, of the burden of the taxes and the unpopularity of the •minflstry, "Boswell and Wiaipole will introduce you to the literary and the fashion- able ashionable folk of that century; but if you want to know that great, pusibing English middle class, coarse .often al- most to brutality, yet serious and in- clined to be religious, the men who really did the work and paid the debts and fought the battles of Eng- land—if yen want to know these, Wren, reed Wesley's Journal." • There was none of the "better than thou" attitude about John Wesley. In one of his last addresses he urged a• liberality of sentiment among his fol- lowers, and spoke against refusing to see the other's point of view. He said: "17 they do but• fear God, worts right- eousness, and keep the command - meets, we have notlalhg to object to." In the beginning of 1791 he was making plane for a great tour of Eng- land, though he was then 88. On the 20th of February he was too 'ill to pr"each but two . days afterwardss be spoke at the City Road Chapel in London. That same week he penned his last letters—to William WiIber- force, the anti -slavery champion. He said: "Go on, in the name of God and the power of'His might, till even American slavery, the vilest that ev- er saw the sun shall vanish from the earth." A few diays later his friend's knew. the end was near. Charles' .widow came to him and moistened has lips with a little water and he repeated the grace he had always said: "We thank Thee, 0 Lord, for this and all Thy mercies. Bless the Church and King, and grant us truth and peace through Jesus Christ our Lord." He passed away about ten o'clock in the morning of Wednesday, the second of March, 1791, and was bur- ied in a vault behind the City Road Chapel, London, John Wesley used to say that the world was his 'parish.
