Note 2 — Chapter XVI · THE WESLEYS AND THEIR ERA

“John Wesley was a good writer and preacher, and possessed extensive learning. He was a man of unfailing perseverance, great self-denial, large liberality, singular devotedness to his Master’s service, and eminent piety. But perhaps his most remarkable gift was the power he possessed of making men willing to fall in with his purposes and of organizing systematic action for the benefit of his followers.” (Josiah Miller, in Singers and Songs of the Church.)
