Spare diet and constant exercise in the keen morning air helped
to endow Wesley with that amazing physical toughness which
enabled him, when eighty-five years old, to walk six miles to a
preaching appointment, and declare that the only sign of old age
he felt was that “he could not walk nor run quite so fast as he
once did.”--W. H. FITCHETT, “Wesley and His Century.”
