"F. Frankfort Moore, author of 'The Jessamy Bride' and many other pleasing stories, has taken John Wesley as the leading character in his latest romance, 'The Love That Prevailed.' The evangelist is portrayed in connection with a group of Cornish villagers. He actually loses his heart to the Dolly Varden of the neighborhood, but, his unswerving sense of honor controlling him, the more exalted love of Truth to which he has dedicated his life is the love that prevails. But the sensational matter in the story is the commotion caused by a distraught disciple of the revivalist foretelling the immediate end of the world. Upon the day he has set for the cataclysm the elements seem to aid and abet him. His manner of self-destruction at the stormy crisis is adequately awful. The minor characters are drawn well, particularly the fox-hunting parson who tells Wesley he has done great mischief with his Methodism; that before he came the parishioners were very comfortable—'Sir, there was not a man of my flock who knew that he had a soul. There was a healthy condition of things for you!'"—N. Y. Globe.
