In DR.. Storrs's memorial discourse he says: ut
has been stated with, think, substantial cor
rectness that, including all evangelical demon
nations, there were in this country, in 1850,
1902 local churches with 3, ,987 commnni-

churches numbered 81, 090 with 10, O63 COM
municants. Such vast and swift advance

John Wesley is thus described by the Rev.
John Hampson, who knew him well: 1.-The hg-

was of the lowest; his habit of body in every

expressive of strict temperance and continual ex-
