July 31, 1744 -- an awesome day of preaching

from the JOURNAL of Charles Wesley [marked out by Susan Pellowe for her A Wesley family Book of Days (1994, River Street Press):

July 31, 1744
I rode to St. Just.  I climbed up and down Cape Cornwall with my brother Meriton, 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 exceeding great joy.  I concluded the day and month as I would wish to conclude my life.
