Supervisors, at their last session, appropriated
some one hundred and twenty dollars to pay

not another township in the county has had
one dollar appropriated for like purposes during
the past year Further, during the last year,
some sixteen hundred dollars were paid out of

appropriation TO employ assistant counsel in

When the Supervisors neglected to do so, the

of heart. he lived to follow nine of
them to III grave. Several Of her daugh-
terswere uf1happily married. Referring
to this subject in letter to her brother,
she says, in words Wrung from the an
guish of a mothers heart, go brother!
happy, thrice happy are you; happy is
my sister that YOU buried your children
in infancy, aeeare from temptation, Sc
cure from gull, secure from want or
shame, secure from the loss Of friends.
Believe me, 1t is better to mourn for ten
children dead than one living, und l
have buried many" God pity the poor
mother who is compelled to feel that any
tears can be more bitter than those that
have fallen from her eyes upon the faces
of her dead children! Mrs. Wesley de-
clares that it was only the support of
Gods omnipotent goodness that sus-
tanned her under the burden that was
laid upon her. It was in communion
with the skies thatshe found thestrength
that enabled her to endure, as seeing him
who is invisible. During her two years
of care and anxiety she found time to
spend at least two hours every day in
secret devotion. She lived to good old
age, surviving her husband about seven
years, and died as only the righteous die.
Methodism and the whole Christian
church should hold hermemory in CRATE
full remembrance for the influence she
exerted in favor of lay preaching. 1t was
only few months before her death that
Thomas Maxfield, one of John Wesley's
helpers or exhorters, began to preach the
Gospel in demonstration of the Spirit
and with power. Mr.. Wesley, who was
at Bristol, heard of this violation of
church order and went to London to sup
press it. On meeting his mother, she
said to him: My son, you know what
my sentiments have been; you cannot
suspect me of favoring readily anything
of this kind. But charge you before
God, beware what you do, for Thomas
Maxfield is as much called to preach the
Gospel as ever you were. Examine the
fruits of his preaching, and hear him also
for yourself.b Mr.. Wesley, who venera-
ted the character of his mother. and
treated her Judgment with the greatest
to hear MaSteld preach, and came from
the chapel saying; cit is the Lord; let
him do what seemeth him good. y
His prejudices against lay preaching
were dispelled. Thomas Maxfield was
welcomed to the work of the ministry,
and encouraged as a son in the Gospel.
1t is wonderful that one at her time of
life, devoted to the Established Church,
and prejudiced against innovations upon
its order, should have taken the liberal
view and given the advice that she did.
Not till the final consummation of all
things will it be known how much the
world owes to the mother of John and
Charles Wesley.
