 | | Wesley's main evangelistic thrust was directed at the poor and uneducated miners and fishermen and their familiies in Cornwall. |
 | | One cannot help but be enthralled at the ghostly sight of centuries old engine houses, now derilect and covered by vines, giving testimony to the hard lives of these hard-rock miners who literally gave their lives to the retrieving of copper and tin from the bowels of the earth. |
