_A._ 1. Build all preaching houses, if the ground will admit, in the octagon form. It is best for the voice, and on many accounts more commodious than any other. 2. Let the roof rise only one third of the breadth: this is the true proportion. 3. Have enough windows and doors; and let all the windows be sashed, opening downward. 4. Let there be no tub-pulpit; but a square projection, with a long seat behind. 5. Let there be no backs to the seats, which should have isles on each side, and be parted in the middle by a rail running all along, to divide the men from the women. _Q._ 69. Is there nay exception to the rule, “Let the men and women sit apart?” _A._ In those galleries where they have always sat together, they may do so still. But let them sit apart every where below, and in all new-erected galleries. _Q._ 70. What can be done, to make the _Methodists_ sensible of the excellency of _Kingswood_ school? _A_. I. Let every assistant read the following account of it yearly in every society. II. Let every preacher earnestly exhort all parents, that are able to send their children thither, and be at the pains to answer all their objections, and refute all the lies they may have heard about it. 1. The wisdom and love of God have now thrust out a large number of labourers into his harvest; men who desire nothing on earth but to promote the glory of God, to save their own souls, and them that hear them. And those to whom they minister spiritual things, willingly minister to them of their carnal things; so that they _have food to eat and raiment to put on_, and are content therewith. 2. A competent provision is likewise made for the wives of married preachers. These also lack nothing; having a weekly allowance, over and above for their little children; so that neither they nor their husbands need be _careful about many things_, but may wait upon the Lord without distraction. 3. Yet one considerable difficulty lies on those who have boys, when they grow too big to be under their mother’s direction. Having no father to govern and instruct them, they are exposed to a thousand temptations. To remedy this, we have a school on purpose for them, wherein they have all the instruction they are capable of, together with all things needful for the body, clothes only excepted. And it may be, if God prosper this labour of love, they will have these too shortly.
