IN HONOR OF WESLEY.

Tho tomb of John Wesley, the found
er OF the Methodist Church, is erected
in the graveyard behind the historic
chapel in which he preached, and is
very insufficient memorial of this great
man. We agree, therefore, with the
Methodists of England, that a worthier
monument should be erected over the
place where lie the remains of Wesley.
But It is amusing that, having decided
upon this and and when the question
arose how to raise the necessary funds
came before them. these British Metho-
dists solved it by directing Rev. Will
liam j. Brown, the clergyman now in
charge of the Wesley chapel, to visit
the United States and obtain subscrip-
tions for the money needed.
Whenever they want money over il
England for public religious purposes
they seem to think the United States
can supply it in any quantity, and w
have done so very largely heretofore
but we protest that the Methodists O
England should erect Wesley's monu
ment. They are amply able to do Sc
