July 31, 1744

(Cape Cornwall)
The following is the entry in the journal of Charles Wesley for this date in 1744:    "I rode to St. Just. I climbed up and down Cape Cornwall with my brother Meriton [a Methodist lay preacher], to the needless hazard of our necks. I preached in the afternoon to a larger congregation than ever, and continued my discourse till night from Luke xxi 34. The Spirit of love was poured out abundantly, and great grace was upon all. I walked to the Society; stood upon the hill, and sang, and prayed, and rejoiced with exceedingly great joy. I concluded the day and month as I would wish to conclude my life."
