Rev. W. H. Fitchett writes about a great Methodist pioneer a paragraph
that shows how an education may be acquired by regular and persistent
toil.
The Staffordshire peasant, Francis Asbury, traveling five
thousand miles a year, preaching incessantly, spending three
hours a day in prayer, and without a settled home, yet had it
as a fixt rule to read a hundred pages daily. He made himself a
scholar, and mastered Latin, Greek, and Hebrew.--“Wesley and His
Century.”
