For really sustained effort in the oratory line we must go back to the records of those wandering preachers, "Wesley and Whitefield. Wesley, tor example, would address a large assembly at 5 o'clock in the morning and then, ride horseback to his next congregation. He would ride 4000 miles in a yesir and preach two, three, and sometimes four times a day. Whitefield, too, had a "pulse in his tongue." He spoke about 40 hours a week in public, and his evenings were spent in "ottering up prayers and intercessions, or in singing nvmns in every bouse to which he was invited."
