Wesley Corpus

Mon. 10.--I preached at Aghrim, and found the people much alive to God. Tuesday, 11.--I rode over to Mr. M ’s. How gracious has God been to this family! Three years ago, his youngest daughter, after she had received a clear sense of the love of God, was brought to the gates of death, and continues still just on the wing for eternity. His other daughter was suddenly struck last year; and after having witnessed a good confession to all that were round about her, went to God in the full triumph of faith. Some months since, Mr. M----’s brother began to decline ; and two or three weeks ago, full of unutterable peace and joy, went to Him whom his soul loved. Wed. 12.--In the evening I preached at Birr. I scarce ever saw so large, so genteel, and so serious a congregation there before. The next evening I reached Limerick. I spent Friday and Saturday in conference with our preachers, and the next week spake with each of -- the members of the society ; many of whum, I now found, were “rooted and grounded in love,” and “ zealous of good works.” Fri. 21.--I rode through heavy rain to Shronill, and to Cork the next day. Sunday, 23.--At eight the house would not near contain the congregation: yet I judged a small congregation with peace, preferable to a large one with noise and tumult. On Monday and Tuesday I carefully examined the society, put away those who did not walk according to the Gospel, and found about three hundred who still strive to have *¢a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward man.”’
