Wesley Corpus

To Alexander Suter Date: LONDON, November 24, 1787. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1787) Author: John Wesley --- My DEAR BROTHER, -- It was an idle thing to send cassocks into Scotland, where the ministers do not use them. But a cassock may be easily made into a gown only adding to it a yard or two of stuff. As we have not yet made a precedent of any one that was not ordained administering baptism, it is better to go slow and sure. Our Sunday schools at Bolton contain upward of eight hundred children, and are all taught by our own brethren without pay. I love Sunday schools much. They have done abundance of good. I will give you Instructions and Tokens for Children. We are just now printing a large edition. O be zealous for God! -- I am Your affectionate friend and brother.
