WHO BY PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE SOUGHT TO BRING UP HER CHILDREN IN THE NURTURE AND ADMONITION OF THE LORD ; THIS BOOK IS LOVINGLY DEDICATED BY HER DAUGHTER. ———
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth; that our daughters may be as corner stones, polished after the similitude of a palace. —Psalm cxliv. 12.

THE Story of John Wesley is one of which the world does not easily weary. There is perennial freshness in it. Age cannot wither it. We may indeed almost affirm that it has an infinite variety.
It is specially important that this remarkable history should be re-told for young people. The youth of England ought to be fully conversant with John Wesley's unique personality and immortal work.
John Wesley's name is far above mere denominationalism. He belongs to all the churches, for he belongs to the Holy Catholic Church. He is a great national and historic figure. It has ever been claimed by some, whose authority is high, that John Wesley was the saviour of modern England. Surely there is large truth in this. The great religious leader was indeed one of the most potent political forces England has known. If there be even an approximation towards fact in such a claim, then how important for young England to know the record of a man so supremely distinguished.
