His children found encouragement and guidance in all their pursuits, and were early taught the blessing of true religion. His humility, his freedom from all self-seeking, his affection, and his hearty interest in everything that concerned his friends, find many illustrations in these pages. Charles Wesley often disturbed himself by fears as to the future of Methodism. He was supremely anxious that it should remain a society within the Church of England. He watched it drifting away from his ideal with grave apprehension. He was not always wise in the action which he took, or wished to take, in reference to this matter; NO one who understands his character would expect that he should be. Charles Wesley was not a calm, judicious statesman, like his brother, but a poet, with all a poet's emotion and impulsiveness. He was never made to stand alone, but to work with others who might be roused and cheered by his devotion and his love.
