with John wesley and his followers. A
girl Methodist is said TO have started a
Sunday school thirteen years before
Robert Reiks ever thought of such
thing. John Wesley originated the first
missionary society, the first tract so
ciety. Between the years 1850 and 1886
$500. 100000 was spent by Protestants in
benevolent work-more in those few
years than i'll all the 1890 and more
that had preceded them. From
being at that time less than one
third of the Christian world, they
have grown into more than two-thirds-
nearly half of the Protestant world.
Then thank God for the spirit of re-
vivals that came into the world with
John Wesley. Green, that prince of
historians. in speaking of the elder Pitt.
said that In his decade he did more for
England than any other man. Without
party, with the king hating him, with
treasury Impoverished, he appealed to
the English people and sent the flag of
England victorious round the world.
But without the influence of John Wes-
ley he could not have done this. So
Wesley did for his native land more
than Pitt could have done. 1 believe in
the old mother as Carlyle did wheh
asked why he wrote the life of CrOn-
we'll. He said that when ''bairn" his
mother told him that Cromwell was
good man, but he heard the world say
bad things of him. SO he went to work
and dug through forty feet of muck and
found the man. | was for the old wOm-
an against the world. And so am l.
The old mother will do to stand by.
Mayor Eustis Talks.
Judge Brill introduced Mayor Enstis,
of Minneapolis, as a typical Western
man, with all the accoutrements of that
man. Mayor Eustis said that lie had
never seen typical Western man till
two years ago in June, when he came TO
st. Paul and met the honored judge,
and he wore blue suit of clothes. His
subject was to be municipal Reforms
OF Some Phases of Municipal Morals"
1.-The bishop had said," said Mr.. Eustis,
''that as he looked at me | grew pale:
of course l did; any man would grow
pale under the arch light of the great
luminary of the church. He said that l
would talk Of municipal morals, and
at once l suspected trap to catch
the policy of the mayor of Minneapo-
lis. He has spoken of phase of life
that is religious; l will talk of another
has been taught by the great teachers,
like Socrates, Confucius and Plato,
but the greatest teacher of morality
was the great head of the church. The
spirit of honesty impelled the people to
strive for improvement i'll political
methods. They had tried reforms. That
matchless Earl of Chatham, OF whom
you have heard, the elder Pitt, who
sent the flag Of England round the
world, was full of the spirit of honesty
that had made reform possible. A mu-
nicipality is corporation; it is APP
piled morals. The charter must be
broad enough to cover and protect
the rights of every man. 1t must pro-
tect him in all his rights of life and
property. Law is but the ember that
hides the fire of public opinion. Public
opinion is like the gold behind the cur
rency that gives it value. Do you en-
force the letter of the law in your
churches? No. AS it is in the church.
so it is in municipal affairs. 1t is not
an easy thing to decide what is best for
all the people in community,
or to do to please them
all. Each one has differ
ent method or different idea
of what is best. l saw by the papers
that my good friends, the preachers,
had refused to indorse the admlnistra-
ton. 1t is just as much out of taste for
the ministers to talk of indOrsing the
administration as for me to talk of in
dorsing the bishop. The Athenian
youths at the banquet passed the light
ed torch from hand to hand; so let us
each help each other in the struggle for
the good of all, passing the torch OF eX-
perience from one to another"
