Mr. Alderson said: “I wigh that somehow or other we might in our imagination roll back the years and find ourselves stand- ing on a certain September after- noon in the year 1739, finding our- Ives part of a great mob milling bout on Kennington Common. You would have met some folks pushing vou from either side and trying to get ahead of you, As you pene- trated further and further into the crowd you might have \caught a glimpse of the flowing locks of a little tit of a_man standing up on a soap box. You would have seen i that he was wearing clerical garb. | If you had gotten up close enough to hear the words you would have no- iticed that he was possessed of a|group of students who refuse to|he ory great air of sinceritilnd earn- You also would have heard o him repeat from time to time cer- | tain words that formed his text— | low-students; but long years after Vor varicty, entertalnment | Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ | they are dead and gone, some stu- and thou shalt be saved.’ “If {nu had locked around you would have noticed how completely he had gripped the attention of that crowd, the (fm“ mob that listened to him; and even though you not had eyes to see it or imagination enough to recognize it, you would have been in the presence of the | most potent social force of the 18th century, and that was a centur; that contained such names as Marl- borough, Wellington, Nelson, Cleve- nd, Wolf, Johnson, Byron, and yet little man on the soap box that afternoon is the giant that towers over any of those other men I have named who lived in his century, “I wonder what he might have looked like if we could have climbed up on that soap box beside him and looked out at the crowd. In the first place, the people who made their way out to Kennington Com- mon that afternoon did not come from the highest social levels. They were meh who had come from the farms and the mines; their clothes | ! were dirt; and their faces were dirtier still. One had only to walk around in the crowd for a little while to fing how seldlom they bathed. They were people who were outside the church; men who had no interest in politics. Their emo- tions were easily stirred. If their leaders told them to shout, they shouted. “That was the crowd, which had &me out of the mines and out from the farms and made its way out to Kennington Common and was mill- ing around to hear this little man speak. And standing there that afternoon and watching this little fellow only 5 fect 4 inches tall, you were in the presence of John Wes- ley, one of the great religious lead- ers of the world’s history. It is be- cause of that movement started there in 18th Century Europe, the influence of which has not died out in this present day. “But this is almost as though we dle of the book.

It seems as though there was some- thing urging him and rushing him on to complete his work before the end should come, and that spirit of earnestness and intensity and eager- ness seems to have characterized Wesley for the next fifty years. “When you come down to the end of his life you will find that he per- formed almost unbelievable feats. He traveled 250,000 miles in the course of his lifetime, and he did it long years before a certain Scotch- man by the name of McAdam had made his name famous by teaching men how to make roads, Wes- | ley did his traveling until his sev- entieth year by horseback. He states in his journal that he never traveled less' than 4,500 miles in a single | year.
