Nestleton Magna: A Story of Yorkshire Methodism
Wray, J. Jackson (James Jackson)
Methodist Church (Great Britain) -- Fiction; Yorkshire (England) -- Fiction
The old man was buried in the grounds around the chapel which his
faith and prayer had chiefly reared. The whole of the societies in the
Kesterton Circuit were represented at his burial, and the large
concourse which assembled to pay this final tribute of respect agreed
in this, that though he was but an old and illiterate hedger, his
holiness, his integrity, his wondrous power with God, had made him
royal, and that “a prince and a great man had fallen in Israel.”
Squire Fuller asked and received permission to erect a marble tablet
to his memory in Nestleton Chapel. There it continues to this day, and
every tourist passing through Waverdale, may turn aside and read for
himself the inscription thereon engraven. Beneath the record of his
name, age, and death, and a brief reference to his noble life are
inscribed the following texts of Scripture. Those who have read these
brief chronicles of village life will justify their choice.
“THE EFFECTUAL, FERVENT PRAYER OF A RIGHTEOUS MAN
AVAILETH MUCH.”
“A MAN FULL OF FAITH AND OF THE HOLY GHOST.”
“MARK THE PERFECT MAN, AND BEHOLD THE UPRIGHT,
FOR THE END OF THAT MAN IS PEACE.”
“LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUS, AND LET
MY LAST END BE LIKE HIS.”
