Fleming, Bishop of Lincoln. John Wesley got his educationat still a younger College, Christ Church College, that wasfounded 1525 by Cardinal Wolsey, who wanted that hisCollege should be the biggest and finest in Europe. This isalso the only College in Oxford with its own Cathedral.Samuel Wesley showed great courage when hestarted out as a service student, pauper scholaris, in one ofthe Oxford Colleges. This position meant that he had toserve at the tables, and serve his fellow students so that hecould finance his studies at Oxford. He showed himself as aman of courage both at Oxford and in the Congregationsafter completed studies.FROM SOUTH ORMSBY TO EPWORTHSamuel Wesley left his service at South Ormsbyeven if a nobleman had helped to get the position at SouthOrmsby, and he accepted the living as a vicar at Epworth.He was not in awe of the persons who stood above him inpower and authority, and it was the same the same withpeople around him. He told the Congregation in Epworththat they were godless, uneducated and had no knowledge.Some historians are of the opinion that this was the reasonwhy the members of the Congregation set fire to theparsonage at Epworth. Other researchers argue that thereason for the fire was that Samuel Wesley had forgotten toblow out a burning candle. Whatever the reason for the firewas it shows that Samuel Wesley was a man withprinciples and great will power as he could tell theCongregation off.16
MEMBER OF A YOUTH MOVEMENTSamuel Wesley was both a pious and a visionaryman. He was in his youth a member of a Church movementthat gave him visions further than the narrowCongregational fellowship. This view developed so that hebecome spokesman for a broad and intensive program forforeign mission. This missionary interest was in function100 years before the great missionary revival broke out.This interest for foreign mission was transferred to his sons.One can say that Samuel Wesley and his sons prepared themission revival in the heart of men through education andstudies, so that they were ready when time was ripe for themission work. We can say that here lies the seed to JohnWesley´ s motto “ The World is my Parish”.John Wesley´ s motto was also an expression forthe fact that he as a Minister could perform his Office allover the World.Charles and John Wesley were inspired by theirfather Samuel to take an interest in foreign mission. Thiswas like Hillel who had intermediated the mission interestto Saul of Tarsus through the learned Gamaliel before St.Paul met Christ on the road to Damascus. At that meeting adominant change took place through the fact that St. Paulchanged his goal from drawing men in to the law, so nowhe drew them in to Christ after the experience on the roadto Damascus.17
