Our end in leaving our native country [for Georgia] was not to avoid want (God having given us plenty of temporal blessings) nor to gain the dung or dross of riches or honor; but singly this - to save our souls, to live wholly to the glory of God. [Boldface added]
-John Wesley, from his Journal, Oct. 14, 1735.

Good point. Another reason to be a Presbyterian.
