Introduction
"The
Progress of God's Work Through the Methodist Movement" is a 53-page book
based on Wesley's letters.
"In
the last years of his life, between 1789 and 1791, John Wesley witnessed the
progress of the Lord's work through the Methodists with a mixture of deep gratitude
for numerical and geographical growth and intense concern
for the preservation of the original spiritual fervor."[1]
Through
the letters, Wesley received news of the progress of the Lord's work in various
places. Wesley also praised and encouraged the preachers to press forward.
Of course,
the letters do not deal with all progress in Methodism, but with situations
located between the period of 1789 and 1791.
By 1791,
"the Methodists numbered more than 79,000 in England and about 40,000 in
the United States." [2]
In his
letters, Wesley revealed his gratitude and joy for the growth of the Lord's
work with the following statements:
· God's work continues well in most parts of
Ireland
· I am glad to know that the Lord's work still
prospers in your hands
· I am glad to know that God's work is so
prosperous in Newry
· I am glad to hear such a good account of
God's work in Bideford
· You send me a pleasant account of God's work
in Stockport
· A very pleasant account of the progress of
God's work in his circuit
· You send us welcome news of the prosperity of
God's work on the island
· God poured out His Spirit on poor Northampton
· I gave a distinct account of God's work accomplished in Britain and Ireland for more than half a century.
Wesley
also saw the need to establish bands (cells). To Thomas
Roberts, less than a month before he died, on February
8, 1791, he said, "You must never stop until you reach that point and form
bands in every great Society." [3]
The establishment of the Sunday School was another sector that Wesley supported. To Charles Atmore, on March 24, 1790, he said, "I am glad that you have set up Sunday schools in Newcastle. This is one of the best institutions seen in Europe a few centuries ago, and it will do more and more good, provided the teachers and inspectors do their duties."[4]
However,
for Wesley, "the true progress of the work was not measured only by full
temples, but by the continuity of the search for biblical holiness and social
transformation (such as the literacy of the poor and the fight against slavery,
a cause he supported until his last letter to William Wilberforce in
1791)". [5]
God poured out His Spirit on poor Northampton
You have great reason to praise God for
pouring out His Spirit on poor Northampton and turning its weight into joy
LONDON,
January 24, 1789.
MY
DEAR BROTHER, -- You have great reason to praise God for pouring out His Spirit
upon poor Northampton, and turning its weight into joy. You should try with all
diligence to work together with God and improve in this day of His power:
first, by holding back all the setbacks you can, and working, if possible, to
bring them back into the group; and, secondly, by earnestly exhorting the
brethren to press on to perfection. This should be done both in public and in
private. -- I am
With
affection. [6]
Remarkable providence
It seems to me that you
have drawn the right conclusion from this remarkable providence. Surely God now
gives you a strong call to devote yourself to God in a single life
For
Thomas Roberts
LONDON, February 12, 1789.
DEAR TOMMY, -- You really
send me good news. I congratulate you on your deliverance. [See letter of
January 18, 1788 to him.] It is not a small one. Only He who is all-powerful
has been able to break these ties. Many years ago I was in exactly the same
case; and at that moment, when I came to these words in the Lesson of the day,
'Son of man, behold, I take away the desire of thy eyes with one blow,' [See
letter of February 14, 1786.] I was quite astonished, and could not read a word
more at that time. But then I realized that God was wiser than I was.
It seems to me that you
have drawn the right conclusion from this remarkable providence. Surely God now
gives you a strong call to devote yourself to God in a single life. I advise
you to read with much prayer the Notes on I Corinthians 7. And remember the
wise direction of Kempis, [Book I. chap. viii.] 'Avoid all good women and
entrust them to God.' --I am, dear Tommy,
Your affectionate brother.
To Mr. T. Roberts, in the
new room,
In Cork. [7]
God's work continues well
in most parts of Ireland
And no doubt you printed
enough of them in London to supply all English societies.
The work of God is going on
well in most of Ireland, especially in the North. They increase in Dublin both
in number and in grace
To Henry Moore
NEAR LONDON, APRIL 17, 1789.
DEAR HENRY, -- I answer all
your letters immediately; But you do not consider that the sea is now between
us. I have told you before, 'Send John Jenkins without delay.' Then I suppose
he is gone. I left Dr. Coke's Journal in Dublin with your daughter, to be
published immediately. And no doubt you have printed enough of them in London
to supply all English societies.
The work of God continues
well in most of Ireland, especially in the North. They increase in Dublin both
in number and in grace. Many are very much alive to God. [] I am, with
affection to Nancy,
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [8]
I am
glad to know that the Lord's work still prospers in your hands
To
Samuel Bardsley
CARLOW, April 26, 1789.
DEAR SAMMY, -- I'm glad to
know that the Lord's work still prospers in your hands. But it takes a lot of
stability, or you can't keep up the good old Methodist discipline. Brother
Rhodes wants to do that; and it will be right that you strengthen his hands in
him. [See letter of January 7.] Let the preachers stand firm together, and then
the people will be regular; But if any of you take your side against the
preacher, it will all be confusion. Since you want that, you may come to the
Conference. -- I am, dear Sammy,
Your affectionate brother.
To Mr. Sam. Bardsley, at
Mr. James Walker's house,
In Sheffield. [9]
And those who suffer will
all surely conquer everything
Meanwhile, with patience,
they possess their souls. And those who suffer will all surely conquer
everything
For
George Flamank
PORTAFFERRY, June 9, 1789.
MY DEAR BRETHREN, -- 'The
burden may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning.' I hope to leave for
the West immediately after the Conference, and I shall probably take with me
one or two men of peace, by whom all these misunderstandings will be removed.
[See the letters of May 21 and July 21 (to Richard Bunt).] Meanwhile, with
patience, they possess their souls. And those who suffer will all surely
conquer all. -- I am, my dear brethren,
Your affectionate brother.
To Mr. George Flamank,
Special Duty Officer, [10]
A
Delightful Account of God's Work on the Island
You send me a pleasant account of God's work on the island. If He acts, who will hold His hand, I should be glad to have the opportunity to see my friends who are with you once more; but I cannot reasonably wait for it
To
George Holder
DUBLIN, June 24, 1789.
DEAR GEORGE,-- You send me
a pleasing account of God's work in the island. If He acts, who will stay His
hand, I should be glad to have an opportunity to see my friends who are with
you once more; but I cannot reasonably expect it. On my last voyage the sea has
affected me more than ever in my life; that I may perceive that my travels are
drawing to a close. Brother Smith can take all the accounts to the Conference,
and will be assigned to England the following year. -- I am, dear George,
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [11]
A useful worker in our
Lord's vineyard
From the account you give
of Jonathan Thompson, there is reason to expect him to be a useful laborer in
our Lord's vineyard. We have had some useful ones from the North of Great
Britain, and I hope they will have more
To
Robert Dall
DUBLIN, June 29, 1780.
DEAR ROBERT, -- Why don't
all you Scots go straight to Dublin by Portpatrick, to save five hundred miles?
Brother Cole and Barber have done well: so have all whose hearts are in their
work. I have already referred to the honest Joseph Cownley to determine which
preachers should come from Scotland to the Conference. It seems that you can
come and John Barber again. Either Charles Atmore must go back to Scotland, or
he and I will not agree. I was not at all pleased with his going to England. He
was using me extremely badly. I hope that his behaviour in the future will be
different and will make up for what has already passed. From the account you
give of Jonathan Thompson, there is reason to expect that he will be a useful
labourer in our Lord's vineyard. We have had some useful ones from the North of
Great Britain, and I hope they will have more. Dr. Coke has caused controversy
in almost every part of this kingdom by talking of 'leaving the Church'. It
would be good if they would forsake those sins. -- I am, dear Robert,
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [12]
I love you very much and we will continue until our earthly path ends
If we do not meet until we reach a better world, you will allow me to say: I love you very much and we will continue until our earthly path ends.
For
Arthur Keene
DUBLIN, July 1, 1789.
If we do not meet until we
reach a better world, you will allow me to say: I love you very much, and we
will continue until our earthly path is over. And allow me to give you one more
piece of advice (you have already valued my advice)—stop arguing. Turn your
thoughts as far away as possible from all controversial points. You have only
one point to discuss—Immanuel, God with us; to secure that one point—Christ in
us, the hope of glory! What is beyond this in comparison with this, Let it
envelop your whole soul. But in a short time, all the rest will be gone like a
shadow! It is [likely] that you will probably spend a few more days on earth
when I am no longer seen. But those days, by comparison, disappear like a dream
when one wakes. The wisdom from above, meanwhile, be the part of you and yours!
Then pray.
His brother always
affectionate. [13]
Providence has pointed out
a way in which you can be of general utility
I am
therefore glad to find that Providence has pointed out a way in which you may
be of general utility, and still more so because, in some passages of recent
authors, the inattention of my corrector has inserted some sentences which I
had erased, two or three of which affirm Universal Restitution
For
John Dickins
CHESTER, July 15, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I also
worried that you had so little employment in the work of God, for it was your
true desire to be useful to the world before you were called to a better one. I
am therefore glad to find that Providence has pointed out a way in which you
may be of general utility, and still more so because, in some passages of
recent authors, the inattention of my corrector has inserted some sentences
which I had erased, two or three of which affirm Universal Restitution. The
innumerable errata I also doubt that you will not carefully correct, which
sometimes spoils the perception. [See letter of August 15.] Wishing you much of
God's favor and presence, I, dear sir,
Your affectionate friend
and brother.
To the Rev. John Dickins,
Market Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[14]
Evidence you once had of
both the power and goodness of God
After the many proofs you
have had of both the power and goodness of God, especially in giving you the
desire of the heart in the change wrought in several of your children, there is
no reason to doubt but that He will give you your mother also, if you continue
fervent in prayer
To
Henry Eames
CHESTER, July 15, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- After
the many proofs you have had of both the power and goodness of God, especially
in giving you the desire of the heart in the change wrought in several of your
children, there is no reason to doubt but that He will give you your mother
also, if you continue fervent in prayer. [See letter of August 3, 1772.] The
great obstacle to God's inward work is antinomianism, wherever it enters. I am
glad you know this. Show your faith by your works. Fight the good fight of
faith and squeeze eternal life. Peace be upon you and yours. -- I am
With affection. [15]
A great man observes that
there is a threefold leading of the Spirit
A great man observes that there is a threefold leading of the Spirit: some He leads by giving them on all occasions appropriate texts of Scripture; some suggesting reasons for every step they take—the way by which He chiefly leads me; and some by imitations
To
Garrettson Freely
CHESTER, July 15, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You are
altogether right. There is no doubt that it was the enemy of souls that
prevented you from sending me your experience. Many parts, both of your inward
and outward experience, must never be suppressed. But if you want to send me
something, you have no time to lose. [See the letters of January 24, 1789, and
February 3, 1790 to him.] Whatever you do for me, it must be quick, lest death
have wings quicker than love. A great man observes that there is a threefold
leading of the Spirit: some He leads by giving them on all occasions
appropriate texts of Scripture; some suggesting reasons for every step they
take—the way by which He principally guides me; and some by imitations. But He
judges the latter way as the least desirable, for it is often impossible to
distinguish dark impressions from divine or even diabolical.
I hope it won't take too
long to write more specifically for
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [16]
I am glad to hear such a
good account of God's work in Bideford
I am glad to hear so good
an account of God's work in Bideford. That town held out for a long time, and
seemed to defy the gospel. But if we do not grow weary of the well-doing, we
shall reap in due time
To Samuel Bardsley
OTLEY, July 21, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am
glad to hear so good an account of God's work in Bideford. [See the next letter
and that of November 25.] That city held out long and seemed to defy the
gospel. But if we do not tire of the well-doing, we shall reap in its time. I
would hardly expect any increase of God's work in Launceston; but it will
probably be magnified by his preaching in the Town Hall, for many will come
there who would not come to our preaching house.
As long as you and your
co-workers talk freely and act for united counsel, the work of the Lord will
prosper in your hands. And continue instantly in prayer, especially in your
closet. -- I am, dear Sammy,
Your affectionate brother. [17]
Its division of Scotland
into the three southern circuits is extremely well rated
To James Bogie
LEEDS, August 1, 1789.
DEAR JEMMY,--Your division of Scotland into
the three southern circuits is extremely well judged. [See letter of October
11, 1788.] You will see from the minutes of the Conference that it is in
progress. I trust that in a few months I shall see strict Methodist discipline
both in Glasgow, Ayr, and in Dumfries. And please do not forget Greenock. I
have received letters from there asking for help. Let no poor soul sin for want
of knowledge, if it be in our power to prevent it. -- I am, dear Jemmy,
Your affectionate friend and brother.
To Mr. James Bogie, in the
Preaching house in Glasgow.[18]
I trust that you will be
more useful than ever
After a time to give you
the leadership of a class, and soon after to employ you as a local preacher;
and I trust that you will be more useful than ever.
To Edward Thomas
WINDMILL STREET, PLYMOUTH DOCK, August 29,
1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER,-- Your letter has given me
much satisfaction. I am sincerely glad that you are convinced that you have
gone too far, and I love you all the more for having the courage to acknowledge
it. Now it is time to forget all that has been past, but it will be better to
advance gradually. First, I will reinstate you to the Society, then I will
recite Mr. Warwick [Thomas Warwick, now assistant at Plymouth. See the letter
of May 21.] after a time to give you the leadership of a class, and soon after
to employ you as a local preacher; and I trust that you will be more useful
than ever.
On every occasion you'll find me
Your affectionate brother. [19]
We are a
family of love
I refer this matter to you,
who are on the spot. Everyone in our house is at great peace. We are a loving
family. I love Sister Clarke, but not as much as my dear Nancy
To Henry Moore
BRISTOL, September 15, 1789.
DEAR HENRY, -- I am glad you have delayed the
preparation of the collection for Dewsbury. I suppose you now have my second
article, [See letter of September 11.] which is to be printed and sent to all
the Assistants. By this I show them more clearly what my feelings are than I
have ever done.
Geo. Paramore writes to wish that his brother
and sister may succeed Brother and Sister Shropshire in Spiralfields. I have no
objection. I refer this matter to you who are on the spot. Everyone in our
house is at great peace. We are a loving family. I love Sister Clarke, only not
as much as my dear Nancy; and I am, dear Henry,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [20]
Prosperity of God's Work on
the Island
You send
us welcome tidings of the prosperity of God's work on the island. A year ago, I
feared that our members would scarcely reach twenty-four hundred again: so now
they rise above our hope
To
Jonathan Brown, Isle of Man
[October],
1789.
DEAR
JONATHAN,-- You send us welcome tidings of the prosperity of God's work on the
island. A year ago, [See letter of February 28.] I feared that our members
would scarcely again reach twenty-four hundred: so now they rise above our
hope. I trust that it will now be your task to 'purge the ground' completely.
Eliminate all unworthy members, and strongly exhort the rest to 'go on to
perfection.' Cause as many people as possible to gather in the band. -- I am,
with love to your wife,
Your
affectionate friend and brother. [21]
You will unfailingly
prevail
If you and your people have
more of the life of God in you than they do, you will infallibly prevail. You
must always encourage them to do so. Only let us have the mind that was in
Christ, and we will lack nothing good
For Charles Atmore
LONDON, October 12, 1789.
DEAR CHARLES, -- It is a great blessing that
God gives you and your fellow-workers to act in full concert with one another.
I hope you will exhort all believers to follow on to perfection, and that you
will take special care of the Select Society. You do well to continue at
N[orth] Shields, without paying the slightest attention to Edwd. Coates [Armore
was an assistant at Newcastle; John Ogilvie was his colleague. Coates had
separated from Wesley. See the April 29 letter to him.] or your society; Be affectionate
and courteous to any of them when they come your way. If you and your people
have more of the life of God in you than they do, you will infallibly prevail.
You must always encourage them to do so. Only let us have the mind that was in
Christ, and we will lack nothing good. -- I am, dear Charles,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [22]
You are a bold people!
You are a bold people! Two
hundred pounds to buy money beyond nine hundred pounds! But I do not usually
stifle any good design. Continue in the name of God. It is true that your act
is clumsy enough
To Laurence Frost
LONDON, October 23, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You are a bold people!
Two hundred pounds to buy money beyond nine hundred pounds! But I do not
usually stifle any good design. Continue in the name of God. It is true that
your act is clumsy enough. I am surprised that no Methodist will take my
advice. I have more experience in these things than any lawyer in the country.
And have I not the Methodist interest so present in my heart? Oh, why will you
alter the fine deed we already have? Why will you employ any lawyer just to get
a knot in a rush; just to try to confuse the cause. Well, take comfort. You
will not worry much about
Your affectionate brother.[23]
If
Strabane receives the gospel, we can certainly say that there is nothing too
hard for God
If
Strabane receives the gospel, surely we can say that there is nothing too hard
for God; and nothing will be too hard for you to lean on His strength and go
hand in hand, desiring only to do and suffer His holy and acceptable will.
For John
Grace
LONDON, October 25, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I expected Brother Smith
to be useful in Londonderry; for the power of God attends his word, and He
sends by whom He will send without asking man's advice.
You do well in morning preaching: that is the
glory of the Methodists. Whenever morning preaching is abandoned, the glory
departs from us.
Peace be with all your spirits! -- I am
Your affectionate friend and brother. [24]
You're a man I can trust
You are a man I can trust:
whatever you do, you will do with your strength
To Richard Rodda
WALLINGFORD, October 26, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You are a man I can
trust: whatever you do, you will do with your strength. Some years ago we
wanted a preaching room at Coleford, in Somemet-shire. A neighbouring
gentleman, Mr. Salmon, gave us land to build on and timber for the house, and
asked me to use his house as my own. Now, by wicked men, he is reduced to the
need of people. I have been informed that a master for an asylum is needed in
Manchester. Please ask; and if so, leave no means untried to get the place for
him. Apply on my behalf to Brother Barlow, Byerly, D. Yates, T. Phillips, Dr.
Easton, Mr. Brocklehurst, Stonehouse, and all who respect me. Enjoy as much
interest as you can. Leave no stone unturned. 'Join the hands of God to make a
good man live.' I hope you will send me a message in London that you have made
an effort and not without a prospect of success. -- I am, dear Richard,
Your affectionate friend and brother.
To Mr. Rodda, in the preaching house,
In Manchester. [25]
Expecting God's work to
grow as well
Wherever the congregation
increases, we have reason to expect that the work of God will also increase.
[Mason was assistant at St. Austell.] And it is certain that distress is one of
the means by which God awakens men from sleep
For John Mason
NEAR OXFORD, OCTOBER 27, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- Wherever the congregation
increases, we have reason to expect that the work of God will also increase.
[Mason was assistant at St. Austell.] And it is certain that distress is one of
the means by which God awakens men from sleep. You know that hunger is one of
the painful judgments of God, and people should be strongly encouraged to
improve by it. Do not allow the leader to whisper in his class, but to speak
that all present may hear; otherwise, how will it be
Each one is your friendly support
And feel the care of the brother
Speak strong and be for everyone. -- I am
Your affectionate friend and brother. [26]
True
yoke companions compelled by love
I am
glad to know that you are true yokefellows compelled by love to work in the
Gospel Field
To George Baldwin
LONDON, November 5, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am glad to know that
you are true yokefellows compelled by love To labor in the Gospel Field. [Poetical Works, v. 410.]
Verily, your labor will not be in vain. Go in
the name of the Lord and in the power of His power. Be instantaneous in season,
out of season, above all, exhort believers to go on to perfection! When this is
neglected, all the work of God will wither. So it will be without going from
house to house. [Baldwin was active in the Gloucestershire Circuit. He died in
1810.] --I am, dear George,
Your affectionate brother.
Close to
Leeds.[27]
You did exactly what was
right
You did exactly what was
right in the business of Dewsbury, which will be a warning to us forever
To Richard Rodda
LAMBETH, November 20, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I hope that Sammy
Bradburn's illness will be a lasting blessing to him, and perhaps as long as he
lives. I did not want to give the five pounds to Billy Hunter as an excuse. If
his strength returned, perhaps in a few months he would return to work; but I
doubt whether he will return or not, [William Hunter, Jr., was Rodda's younger
colleague.] whether he will ever be fit for an itinerant preacher. You have
done just what was right in the business of Dewsbury, which will be a warning to
us forever. Then........ and it may be when business of the same kind. As long
as I live, no action will be taken towards the building of any preaching house
until the trustees have given the bond to settle it into our plan as soon as
they are indemnified. [See the letter in January, 1791 to him.] Peace be upon
you and yours. -- I am, dear Richard,
Your affectionate friend and brother.
To Mr. Rodda. In the Preaching House.
In Manchester. [28]
Each of you will have an
equal share of the common work
I am convinced, Brother
Wray, Stretton, and you will go on together, and that each of you will have an
equal share of the common work. I do it myself
To William Black
LONDON, November 21, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- Your letter has given me
great satisfaction. My fears have disappeared. I am convinced, Brother Wray,
Stretton, and you will go on together, and that each of you will have an equal
share of the common work. I do it myself. I work now just as I did twenty or
forty years ago. By all means, proceed by common consent, and do not think of
separating me from the Church of England. I am more and more confirmed in the
judgment which our whole Conference pronounced on this subject in the year 1758.
-- I am, my dear brother, your affectionate friend and brother. [29]
And when
you do what you can, you do enough
I'm glad you did something
for poor Dewsbury And when you do what you can, you do enough
To Jeremiah Brettell
LONDON, November 27, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am glad you have done
something for poor Dewsbury [See letter of August 23.]; And when you do what
you can, you do enough. No wonder Tommy Cooper is conscious of so great a loss.
But it is possible that Harriet Lewis of Dudley invented it. [Thomas Cooper was
Brettell's colleague at Wolverhampton. See letter of March 29, 1788 to Harriet
Lewis.] She is a young woman of excellent spirit. She has seen affliction and
has benefited greatly from it. If my life extends into the spring, it will be
no small satisfaction to me to see my dear Sister Brettell once more. Peace be
upon your spirits! -- I am, dear Jerry,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [30]
Our sufficiency is God's
Our own insufficiency for every good work
would discourage us, if we were not convinced both by Scripture and by
experience that all our sufficiency is of God
For John Dickins
LONDON, December 26, 1789.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- Our very insufficiency
for every good work would discourage us, if we were not convinced both by
Scripture and experience that all our sufficiency is of God. Therefore, no
doubt, He will furnish seed to the sower, and bread to the coment, and a
blessing thereby.
Brother Joliffe perhaps had all his urgent
affairs settled as well as without them...... as if he were with us. Let us
make it as comfortable as possible. But it is doubtful whether any good will be
done at last. I am glad that Betsey Harvey [See title of letter of April 23,
1764 to Mrs. Woodhouse.] will continue with you; she may forget me, but I do
not forget her. Thank you for the magazine.
What I wish every night is that you all stay
close to the Bible. Don't be wise above what is written. Don't command anything
that the Bible doesn't clearly allow. Don't forbid anything that doesn't
clearly forbid. It doesn't forbid me to call you Mr. any more than to call you
John, and it doesn't forbid me to wear a loose hat than a bishop's hat. -- I am
Your affectionate friend and brother.
To the Rev. John Dickins,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. [31]
Take a short tour next
month, weather permitting
You should be absent from
the School at times, so that you can be present more effectively. But I wish
you to take a little tour next month, weather permitting
For Thomas McGeary
LONDON, January 9, 1790.
DEAR TOMMY, There is no danger of my finding
your writing troublesome. If Mr. [Funnal] thinks you have been wrong to go away,
and that it is a favor to receive you again, you may receive you; but he seems
to me to be beside himself. Mr. Carr has not written me anything. I hope he (at
least) knows when he is well. A place so different to him can hardly be found.
You
should be absent from the School at times, so that you can be present more
effectively. But I wish you to take a little tour next month, weather
permitting. Spending a week or two outdoors now and then is the best physical
thing in the world for you. Perfect love ούν άσχημονεϊ is neither badly behaved
nor immature. Peace be upon all your spirits--I am, dear Tommy, Yours with all
affection.
Mr. Bradily, a pious young man from Antigua,
ardently desires to be a guest at Kingswood. I am not opposed. [32]
You
send me a pleasant account of God's work in Stockport
For Daniel Jackson
NEAR LONDON, JANUARY 19, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You send me a pleasing
account of God's work in Stockport. Many feared that this would be greatly
injured especially by Thomas Smith. But of course they feared where there was
no fear; for our Lord took care of His own work.
I am glad that Tommy Farrant [Probably Thomas
Tennant, Jackson's colleague.] continues to exert himself. The more he does,
the more he can; for to him who has (even what he has) will be given, and will
have more abundantly.--I am, with love to Sister Jackson,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [33]
By a stroke of Divine
Providence
I have not regretted that
you were discharged from the Army, since it was not by your own act and action,
but rather by a stroke of Divine Providence; and I doubt whether this is to the
glory of God
For William Smith
BIRMINGHAM, March 21, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I have not regretted that
you were discharged from the Army, since it was not by your own act and action,
but rather by a stroke of Divine Providence; and I doubt whether this is to the
glory of God. The question was, Which part of the vineyard would be best for
you to work? I cannot, in reason, consent to your being too long confined in
the Londonderry Circuit. Is there any part of Ireland which you prefer to
others, or prefer to spend time in England with which you can speak freely
Your affectionate brother. [34]
I'm glad you set up Sunday
schools in Newcastle
I'm glad you've set up Sunday schools in Newcastle. This is one of the best institutions seen in Europe a few centuries ago, and it will do more and more good, provided the teachers and inspectors do their jobs
For Charles Atmore
MADELEY, March 24, 1790.
DEAR CHARLES, -- I am glad you have set up
Sunday schools in Newcastle. This is one of the best institutions seen in
Europe for some centuries, and it will do more and more good, provided the
teachers and inspectors do their business. Nothing can hinder the success of
this blessed work but the abandonment of the instruments. Be sure, therefore,
to watch them very carefully, that they may not grow weary of doing good.
I shall be at Darlington, God willing, on
Tuesday and Wednesday, May 4th and 5th; on Thursday, at Durham, to preach at
twelve o'clock; and at Newcastle between four and five o'clock in the
afternoon. Peace be with you all, and with yours.--I am, dear Charles,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [35]
You just
need to move forward calmly and firmly
To Samuel Bardsley
NEWCASTLE-UNDER-LYME, 27 March 1790.
DEAR SAMMY, -- Take special care that neither
Michael Fenwick nor any other justly offends, and especially that they do not
offend God; then He will cause your enemies to be at peace with you.
If I remember rightly, I have written to the
mayor of Bideford; and I imagine it will make him quieter. [See letter of
November 25, 1789.] By meekness, gentleness, and patience, with faith and
prayer, you will prevail also in Torrington. You have only to go forward calmly
and steadily, and God will arise and keep up His own cause. Only let us strive
to have a conscience void of offense against God and man. -- I am, dear Sammy,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [36]
Let us do what we can, and
let our Lord be well pleased
It would be a pleasure to
see you anywhere, especially in Skipton. But I am afraid it is not within my
reach. Since my last illness I have not been able to preach as often as I used
to. But let us do what we can, and our Lord be well pleased
To Peter Garforth
MANCHESTER, April 2, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- It would be a pleasure to
see you anywhere, especially in Skipton.
But I am afraid it is not within my power.
Since my last illness I have not been able to preach as often as I used to. But
let us do what we can, and our Lord be well pleased. -- I am
Your affectionate brother.
Mr. Garforth, in
Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire. [37]
Your motives are good
Your
motives are good. I fully agree with your judgment. Considering the kindness
your friends in Londonderry have shown, it would not be advisable for you to be
removed from them immediately
For William Smith
WAKEFIELD, April 23, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- Your motives are good. I
fully agree with your judgment. Considering the kindness your friends in
Londonderry have shown, it would not be advisable for you to be removed from
them at once. You had better stay with them another year. [See letter of March
21.] I will therefore write to Dr. Coke that it may be so. But oh, beware lest
you think yourself too valued. You walk on slippery ground. May God keep you
humble. -- I am,
Your affectionate brother. [38]
Further proof that you're a
man you can trust
Thank you, my dear Harry,
for giving me further proof that you are a man to be trusted. You keep your
love and your integrity even among the noises
To Henry Moore
PARKGATE, April 25, 1790.
I wrote an affectionate but direct letter to
Arthur Keene [See the next letter, and that of July 6, 1789.] (without saying a
word from the morning service) in this regard: 'You would not have justified
removing a friend like me, even if I had become a Papist or a Mohammedan.' -- I
am, with affection to Nancy, dear Henry,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [39]
Great
Thirst for the Word of God in England, Scotland, Ireland and the Islands
Never was there in all
England, Scotland, and Ireland such a thirst for the pure word of God as there
is to this day. The same as we find in the small Isles of Man, Wight, Jersey,
Guernsey, and Alderney in the Western Ocean
To William Black
SUNDERLAND, June 14, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You have done well to
send me an account of your little Societies. Here is a good start, though it is
still in many places a day of little things, and though it does not please God
to continue His work so quickly with you as in some provinces. But one soul is
worth all the merchandise in the world; And he who receives money, you win
souls.
There never was in all England, Scotland, and
Ireland such a thirst for the pure word of God as there is to this day. The
same as we find in the little Isles of Man, Wight, Jersey, Guernsey, and
Alderney, in the Western Ocean. In the Isle of Man alone (thirty miles long),
the Societies have about twenty and two hundred members. I have just finished
my route through Scotland, where I have never had congregations like this
before. Therefore it pleases God to give me a little more to do before I call
here.
What Happened to Brother Scurr, Dodson, and
Our Other Yorkshire Friends Some of them, no doubt, have gone to a more distant
country; but some, I suppose, remain. I doubt whether you do not have constant
relations with each other. Love as Brothers—I am, dear William, your
affectionate friend and brother. [40]
Use of
the form of prayer will tend to unite our people to the Church
I agree
with my brother's judgment that the use of the form of prayer will tend to
unite our people to the Church [Charles Wesley's view. On the fourth Sunday,
they were to partake of the Sacrament in the Church.] instead of separating
them from it, especially if you sincerely insist that they go to church every
four Sundays
For William Thom
MALTON, June 21, 1790.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I agree with my brother's
judgment that the use of the form of prayer will tend to unite our people to
the Church [Charles Wesley's view. On the fourth Sunday, they should partake of
the Sacrament in the Church.] instead of separating them from it, especially if
you sincerely insist that they go to church every four Sundays.
I am very indifferent to the preaching house,
and I will not worry about it any more. I have already lost 10 because of it,
though to no purpose. If anything more is done about it, it must be done by the
people of Sarum themselves. With love to Sister Thom, dear Billy,
Your affectionate friend and brother. [41]
Mighty Works of the Spirit
As to the mighty works of
the Spirit, I think these words of our Lord are to be understood chiefly: 'The
wind blows where he is; Thou hearest the sound of it' (thou art sure of it),
'but thou knowest not whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth
For
Thomas Taylor
LONDON, January 6, 1791.
DEAR TOMMY, -- As to the
mighty works of the Spirit, I think these words of our Lord are chiefly to be
understood: 'The wind bloweth where it is; Thou hearest the sound of it' (thou
art sure of it), 'but thou knowest not whence it cometh, nor whither it goeth.'
Make your annual
subscription when you see fit, just be careful that you don't get in the way of
any other subscription.
Archbishop King's treatise
has been particularly admired by many persons of excellent sense. I do not
admire it so much as they do; but I like it very much. Still, I have corrected
a much better treatise on the subject, probably the last one I shall have to
publish.
Indeed, I hope I do not
live to be useless. I wish you and your many happy years; and I am, dear Tommy,
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [42]
You're right
Speaking to a congregation in the name of Christ is a matter of great importance. So you are right, before you undertake it, to consider the matter well
For
Henry Anderson
NEAR LONDON, JANUARY 13,
1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- To
speak to a congregation in the name of Christ is a matter of great importance.
Therefore you are right, before you undertake it, to consider the matter well.
Indeed, it may not be improper to speak a little now when the opportunity
presents itself. But I do not advise you to give yourself to the work until you
are proposed and approved at the next Conference. "I am
Your friend and brother.
To Mr. Henry Anderson, in
Kilham,
Near Malton, Yorkshire. [43]
Great Proofs That Whom the Lord
Loves
Both Brother Clarke and you have great proof that whom the Lord loves, He chastises. [See letters for January 3 and February 9.] He knows the way you are going; When you are tested, you will appear like gold.
To
Mrs. Adam Clarke
LONDON, January 18, 1791.
MY DEAR SISTER, -- Before
that, I hope God has heard the prayers and given a little more relief to
Brother Clarke. I suspect a hydrops in the brain, which, though formerly
thought incurable, has recently been cured.
Both Brother Clarke and you
have great proof that whom the Lord loves, He chastises. [See letters for
January 3 and February 9.] He knows the way you are going; When you are tested,
you will appear like gold.
I wonder how foolish Mr. V.
Certainly he is a very weak man. But I will judge better when I see his
performances. May peace multiply again! -- I am, my dear sister,
Always yours. [44]
I am glad to know that
God's work is so prosperous in Newry
For
James Macdonald
LONDON, January 18, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am
glad to know that the work of God is so prosperous in Newry. Continue to seek
Him fasting, and you will see even greater things than these. Take care to keep
as accurate an account as possible of all that happens. The verses deserve to
be inserted in the Arminian Magazine. I would be glad to know the author of
them; but I hardly think she or you will see me in this world any more. [See
letter of October 23, 1790.]
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [45]
Your visit to Melrose will
not be in vain
I'm glad you wrote to Joseph Cole. Your visit to Melrose won't be in vain. And it bodes well that God has given you an able healer
To
Robert Dull
LONDON, January 19, 1791.
Surely Calvinism is the
direct antidote to Methodism, that is, to the religion of the heart, and I
think it would not be wrong if you presented, where you see it aright, the
Dialogue between a Predestinatory and his Friend.
Though my health has been
better for several days than it has been for months, I very much doubt that I
shall attempt to cross the sea again; My last voyage has greatly discouraged
me. But if I cannot reach Ireland, I hope my strength will be sufficient to
visit Scotland. We shall probably have a little conference in Edinburgh in the
spring. -- I am, with love to Sister Dall, dear Robert,
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [46]
I praise you for treating
him so tenderly
So I commend you for
treating him so tenderly, and I advise you to still do it, even if he speaks
ill of you or about you. But I won't blame you for preaching in the morning or finding
a class
For
William Torrie
LONDON, January 19, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER TORRIE, --
I wish John Philips all the best, and I do not want to hinder him from doing
all the good he can. Therefore I commend you for treating him so tenderly, and
I advise you to still do so, even if he speaks ill of you or about you. But I
will not blame you for preaching in the morning or for finding a class. -- I am
Your affectionate brother. [47]
Blessings He Has Given You
From Youth Until Now
You have great reason to
thank Him for the blessings He has given you from your youth until now. No
doubt many of these have been sent, as you observe, in answer to the prayers of
your good mother
To
Thomas Greathead
LONDON, January 22, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I am
half blind and half lame; but with God's help I still advance. You have great
reason to thank Him for the blessings He has given you from youth till now. No
doubt many of these have been sent, as you observe, in answer to the prayers of
your good mother. Now, do all the good you can for your poor neighbours. One
word spoken in season, how good it is. Wishing you and yours every happiness, I
am
Your affectionate brother. [48]
A very pleasant account of
the progress of God's work in his circuit
You give me a very
agreeable account of the progress of God's work in your circuit. As for the
poor convinced Keighley enthusiasts
To
John Booth
LONDON, January 29, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You
give me a very agreeable account of the progress of God's work in your circuit.
As for Keighley's poor self-confessed enthusiasts, it seems best never to name
them in public, but when the occasion gets to the root of their errors by
clearly proving the truth they deny; and whenever you meet with any of them in
private, then speak and spare not. Whenever you have occasion to converse with
believers, encourage them to go on to perfection. Spare no pain; and God, our
own God, will give you His blessing! -- I am
Your affectionate friend
and brother.
To Mr. John Booth, in the
Preaching House,
In Keighley, Yorkskire. [49]
You
have great reason to praise God for giving a blessing to your labors
You have great reason to praise God for giving a blessing to your works. Then He will do more and more if you do not get involved in the affairs of this life. If you seek your happiness in God alone, you will never be disappointed
To
Thomas Broadbent
LONDON, January 29, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- You
have great reason to praise God for His giving a blessing to your labors. Then
He will do more and more if you do not engage in the affairs of this life. If
you seek your happiness in God alone, you will never be disappointed: if in
anything else, you will certainly do so; for all creatures are broken cisterns.
Let your eye be single. Seek one thing—to save your own soul and those who hear
you. -- I am, dear Tommy, your affectionate friend and brother. [50]
I gave a distinct account
of God's work carried out in Britain and Ireland for more than half a century
I have given a distinct
account of the work of God which has been carried on in Great Britain and
Ireland for more than half a century. We want some of you to give us a
connected account of what our Lord has done in America since the time Richard
Boardman accepted the invitation and left his country to serve him
To
Ezekiel Cooper from Philadelphia
NEAR LONDON, FEBRUARY 1,
1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- Those
who wish to write or say something to me have no time to lose; for time has
shaken me by the hand, and death is not far off. But I have reason to be
thankful for the time that has passed: I have felt few of the infirmities of
old age for eighty-six years. It is only a year and a half ago that my strength
and my eyesight have failed. And yet I can scribble a little and crawl along,
though I cannot run. I probably should not be able to do so much if many of you
did not help me with your prayers.
I have given a
distinguished account of the work of God which has been carried on in Great
Britain and Ireland for more than half a century. We want some of you to give
us a connected relation of what our Lord has done in America from the time
Richard Boardman accepted the invitation and left his country to serve him. Be
sure never to yield room to a thought of separation from your brethren in
Europe. Do not miss the opportunity of declaring to all men that the Methodists
are one people throughout the world; and that it is your full determination to
continue,
Though mountains rise and
oceans roll,
To part us in vain.
To the care of our common
Lord I entrust them; and I
Your affectionate friend
and brother. [51]
Let's follow him as he
followed Christ
How glad Mr. Easterbrook gave us the start. Let us follow him as he followed Christ. Let the service begin at [ten or eleven] if the leaders think it best.
To
Henry Moore
LONDON, February 6, 1791.
MY DEAR HENRY, -- How glad
Mr. Easterbrook has given us the beginning. Let us follow him as he followed
Christ. Let the service begin at [ten or eleven] if the leaders think best. I
hope to be in Bath on the first Monday in March (tomorrow in three weeks); and
I am, with love to my dear Nancy,
Your affectionate friend

You should never stop until
you reach that point and form bands in every great Society
For
Thomas Roberts
LONDON, February 8, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, [See
letter of October 23, 1790.]--Who has objected to you reducing the preachers of
the circuit to two, and on what pretext must we reduce all our expenses
everywhere as far as possible. You must never stop until you reach that point,
and form bands in every great Society. When the lecture begins at Carmarthen,
it will be time enough to avoid any ill effects. I am glad to know that your
journey home has not been in vain. My best wishes to my friends at Traison and
Langwair. [Trecwn and Llwynygwair. See Diary, vii. 426-7.] --I am, dear Tommy,
Yours, etc. [53]
God has wonderfully
supported you in these complicated afflictions
You have great
reason to bless God for giving you strength as your day goes. [See letter of
January 18.] He has indeed supported you in a wonderful way in these
complicated afflictions. You may well say, 'I will put my trust in the Lord as
long as I live
To
Adam Clarke
LONDON, February 9, 1791.
DEAR ADAM,--You have great
reason to bless God for giving you strength according to your day. [See letter
of January 18.] He has really wonderfully supported you in these complicated
afflictions. You may well say, 'I will put my trust in the Lord as long as I
live.' I desire Dr. Whitehead to consider your case and give you his opinions
on it. I am not afraid of you doing little, but too much. I am in constant
danger of it. Do a little at a time, that you may do more. My love to Sister
Cookman and Boyle [See letters of March 28, 1777, and May 2, 1787; and
Crookshank's Methodism in Ireland, i. 428.]; but I doubt whether I shall yet
cross the seas.
What preacher was this who
first omitted to meet with the Select Society? I wonder that this did not
destroy the work!
You did well to create the
Society of Strangers (Friends). It is an excellent institution.
I am rather lost in regard
to Mr. Madan. I do not know what to think of him. Send me your best thoughts
about him. Let the excluded preachers not invade again in any way. At any rate,
write and send me your opinions on Animal Magnetism. [See letter of January 3.]
I have leaned my face against that artifice of Satan. Two of our preachers here
are in this satanic delusion; but if they persist in defending it, I must let
them fall. I know their principles very well. With much love to your wife, I
am, my dear Adam,
Your affectionate brother. [54]
A reason for great
gratitude
It should be a cause of
great gratitude that your wife and you were able to surrender this beautiful
child to God
For
John Ogilvie
LONDON, February 21, 1791.
MY DEAR BROTHER, -- I have
not been well for some days; but now, by the blessing of God, I am very
recovered. It should be a matter of great gratitude that your wife and you have
been able to give this beautiful child to God. We are quite sure that He does
all well--all for our benefit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. It is
not improbable that I may look upon you in the spring. [Ogilvie was the second
preacher at Alnwick.] Peace be upon your spirits! -- I am
Your affectionate brother. [55]
Oh, don't get tired of
doing good
Oh, do not grow weary in
doing good. I continue, in the name of God and in the power of His power, until
even American slavery (the vilest that has ever seen the sun) disappears before
it.
For
William Wilberforce
BALAM, February 24, 1791.
DEAR LORD, -- Unless divine
power has raised you up to be like Athanasius against the world, ['Athanasius
against the world.'] I don't see how you can accomplish your glorious
enterprise of opposing that execrable villainy, which is the scandal of religion,
England, and human nature. Unless God has raised you up to it, you will be
exhausted by the opposition of men and deabolites. But if God be on your
behalf, who can be against you? Are they all together stronger than God? Oh, do
not grow weary in doing good. I go on, in the name of God and in the power of
His power, until even American slavery (the vilest that ever saw the sun)
disappears before it.
Reading this morning a
pamphlet written by a poor African, I was particularly struck by this
circumstance, that a black-skinned man, being wronged or indignant by a white
man, can have no redress; it being a law in all our Colonies that the oath of a
negro against a white is of no avail. What a villainy this is!
May He who has guided you
from youth continue to strengthen you in this and in all things is the prayer
of, dear sir,
His affectionate servant. [56]
