Election Day, Pt. III

On Election Day, we’re sharing three passages of relevance. This is the third. It is perhaps the most relevant for us all today.

October 6, 1774

I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them
1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy
2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and
3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.

-John Wesley, The Journal of John Wesley
