At another time Mrs. Norton was jocularly aroused in a fashionable company to defend her Methodist peculiarities, and did so with no Httle effect. " I understand, Mrs. Norton, that you are op- posed to wine-parties, " said Mr. Porter. " Of course I am, " was her reply. LIFE OF MRS. NORTON. 117 " Well, ]\Irs. Norton, I was at one of your meet- ings at the church, and really the company looked to me very much like a wine-party. " " I never was present at a regular wine-drinking party, Mr. Porter,... and of course cannot judge of the analogy from observation. And, sir, if a wine- party is as much overjoyed with spirits as are the Methodists in a revival, I hope never to be present at one. Externally, Mr. Porter, the expressions of joy ma}^ be the same in either case ; but the causes of them at a wine-party are purely and grossly sensual, while those of a revival are infin- itely above any such carnality. At the day of Pen- tecost, the people said the disciples w^ere full of new wine, though, you know, sir, the cause of their wild ecstasy was directly from Heaven.
