John Wesley Helping Christians In General Election.

To show there is indeed ‘nothing new under the sun’, the following is a quote from John Wesley’s journal in 1674:

‘I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them,

1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy
2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and
3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.’

(John Wesley, The Journal of John Wesley)
