Fri. 25.--We met at four and solemnly rejoiced in God our Saviour. T found much revival in my own soul this day; and so did many others also. Both this and the following days, I strongly urged the wholly giving up ourselves to God, and renewing in every point our covenant, that the Lord should be our God. Sat. 26.--I called on one, with whose mother I had prayed a little before her death. I knew not till now, how she came to desire me, of all persons, to pray with her. It seems her daughter, who was of a lion-like spirit, came to me some time before, and told me, she had just been quarrelling with her aunt on my account, and was so angry that she struck her. I told her, ‘Then go and ask her pardon.” She went home, ran to her aunt, and asked her pardon. While they were hanging upon each other, both in tears, her mother came in, being afraid they were fighting. She cried out, “Sister, what is Sally doing to you?” She replied, “She has been just asking me pardon.” “ I never knew her to do such a thing since she was born,” said her mother: «Sally, who taught you that?” “My minister,” said Sally. All were struck ; and their enmity was at an end. Journal I.--27 Wists OT med 414 REV. J. WESLEY’S JOURNAL. [ Jan. 1748.
