The Great Seal is affixed to parchments on great occasions. Thus, when the British Conference gave the Australian Conference Home Rule, this seal was affixed to the deed. Jt shows a portrait of Mr Wesley with the inscription above, " The world is my parish," and below, " What has God wrought.'' The Bible is small and well suited for the pocket or the hand.

The print is very small.
