John Wesley’s Rule
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
by John Wesley
John Wesley was born on 28 June 1703 in Epworth, Lincolnshire, England. Formally addressed as Reverend, he served in both the Anglican and Methodist Churches. He was a preacher and a theologian. He is known as the founder of the Methodist movement. John Wesley traveled 250,000 miles on horseback averaging 20 miles a day for 40 years, preached 40,000 sermons, wrote 400 books, and knew 10 languages. At 83 years of age, he was annoyed that he could not write more than 15 hours a day without hurting his eyes, and at 86 he was ashamed that he could not preach more than twice a day. He complained in his diary that there was an increasing tendency to lie in bed until 5:30 in the morning. John Wesley passed on at 87 years of age on 2 March 1791 in London, England.
