Instructing the Cabin Boy

When John Wesley was on his way home from Georgia, he wrote this record of the voyage in his Journal: -- "Being sorrowful and very heavy (though I could give no particular reason for it) and utterly unwilling to speak close to any of my little flock (about twenty persons), I was in doubt whether my own neglect of them was not one cause of my heaviness. In the evening, therefore, I began instructing the cabin boy, after which I was much easier."
