I was not a little curious as to what his opinion would be.
"'Well, Doctor,' I said, 'what have you to say to me?
You heard me last night.

What is your judgment on my poor performance ?' "'My dear Sir,' he answered, 'I have only one thing to say to you, and that is, go on in the way you have begun, and God will bless you.' "But other difficulties were not far away, for I had hardly settled down to my studies before I got into a red-hot Revival in a small London church where a remarkable work was done.

In an account of this effort my name appeared in the church's Magazine, and I was invited to conduct special efforts in other parts of the country.
This, I must confess, completely upset my plans once more, and I have not been able to find heart or time for either Greek or Latin from that day to this." How sincerely this curious student longed for improvement is manifested in the following entry in his Journal, written, I presume, on a Monday morning when it was thought that some relaxation of his studies following a Sunday's services would be advantageous:-- "Monday .-- Visited the British Museum.

Walked up and down there praying that God would enable me to acquire knowledge to increase my power of usefulness." Who will doubt that that Museum prayer was heard and answered?
The Church he had joined was governed by an annual assembly, called the Conference, at which candidates for the ministry were accepted into it, and were appointed to some sphere of labour called a Circuit.

Just before the Conference met he was astonished to hear that it was proposed to appoint him as Superintendent of a London Circuit.
