Wesley Corpus

To Arthur Keene Date: DUBLIN, July 1, 1789. Source: The Letters of John Wesley (1789) Author: John Wesley --- If we do not meet till we reach a better world, you will suffer me to tell you, I love you dearly, and shall do so till our earthly course is run. And permit me to give you one advice more (you once valued my advice)--leave off disputing. Call off your thoughts as far as possible from all controverted points. You have one only point to attend to -- Immanuel, God with us; to secure that single point -- Christ in us, the hope of glory! What is all besides in comparison of that O let it engage your whole soul. Yet a little while and all the rest will pass away like a shadow! It is [probable] you are likely to spend a few more days upon earth when I am no more seen. But those days in comparison will vanish away like a dream when one awaketh. The wisdom from above meantime be the portion of you and yours! So prays Your ever affectionate brother.
