Of the nineteen children born to Sam uel nnd Susanna Wesley only ten sur vived the period of Infancy, and of these only three were sons.

The family, hurrying out in terror, left the boy John sleeping In his utile chamber, and he was taken out through a window only an Instant beforo tho blazing roof fell In upon his bed. Wesley always retained n vIVhl recollection of the scene, and more than a half century Inter, when, thinking himself nenr death, ho composed bis epitaph, be de scribes himself ns "a brand plucked from the bumilng." Ills mother deemed his rescue n prov idential Indication that her son was preserved for some great work and re solved, ns she says, "to bo more partic ularly careful of tlio soul of this child that Thou hnst so mercifully provided for." There Is, however, no evidence of anything precocious In the religious development of the boy, but only n eer tnln staid, overdellberateness which he got from his mother, but which to the more mercurial temperament of the fa ther seemed In a lad not yet In his teens half nmusing nnd half vexatious.
