John Wesley’s Preaching and Vigor

JOHN WESLEY preached, on an average, fifteen sermons a week. Instead of breaking down under this task, he wrote, when seventy-three years old, that he was far abler to preach than when three-and-twenty. His brow was then smooth, his complexion ruddy, and his voice strong and clear, so that an audience of thirty thousand could hear him without difficulty. This vigor he ascribed to continual travel, early rising, good sleep, and an even temper.
