FIRST METHODIST SERMON.


con the 18th of March, 1876, John Yves
ley preached the first Methodist sermon
ever preached on this continent" writes
the Rev. w. j. Scott, ID. D., in The La
dies Home journal. 1T was delivered
not far from the site Of the present Christ
church, Savannah, Of which he subso.
ouontly was tho third rcct-', and was adj
dressed to u mixed asscmblagc. His con.
gregation hardly exceeded 400 persons, in

however, by leo or more of the ncighbOr
ing Indians. Wesley discussed in a most
eloquent manner the principles Of Chris
tian charity as argued by It. Pau in tho
thirteenth chapter Of First Corinthians.
He mado u powerful appeal, and many Of
his audience were in tears. While he was
not so impctuous in his delivery as in aft
cr years, his abilities at hat time bespoke
the great preacher and reformor.
'If he was more scholastic in style than
In after years, the fcryor and force of his
appeals were none the less felt by his hear
ers. Especially was this strikingly true
when in the course Of his discourse he adj
vertod to tho death of his father, who for
40 years or moro had been tho incumbent
of the Epworth rcctory. This venerable
mar was asked not long before his death,

your No, no. no! he exclaimed, with gp-
lifted hands. And then, continued Wesley,
calling all that were near him by their
names, the dying patriarch said; 'Thiu!,
of heaven, talk Of heaven. All time Is lost
when we arc not thinking Of heaven
This was spoken by Wesley in a tromulous
voice, and his new parishioncrs at ,Hyan-

The wind swept city by the drainage

all began in the idea OF a Stadium"
The stadium was to have been n gym
nasium in the open air, after the fashion
of that on the Charlesbank. In any 9TH
err city the place would be called really
an open air gymnasium. but Chicago is
satisfied with nothing less pretentious
than q stadium. 1t calls its hotel the
Auditorium. and each of its city officials
receives an honorarium. Consequently
when it wants a bicycle track it calls it
a stadium.
That is what the newspapers call it.
The municipal board of nrt calls it a
'stawdeeoom," and all the Chicageese
who make any prctensions to culture and
artistic taste use the same pronunciation.

| Ground has been broken and the
| work on the foundation is rapidly pro-
crossing on a handsome new library
| building in Madison. When completed
the new Madison library will rival in
beauty the structure donated to Bran
ford by Timothy Blackstone. The Mad
ison library building is the gift of Miss
Mary E. Scranton of this city, and it
is to be a memorial to her father, the
late Erastus G. Scranton, man who
was at one time prominently connected
with the banking interests in New
Haven and also at one time the presi-
dent of the New York and New Haven
railroad
The building is being erected by Sper

& Bacon, architects, of Ill Fifth ave-
nue. New York city. 1t is to be one
story structure, its style of architect
ure being somewhat closely related to
the Blackstone library in Branford,
though the building is not so large. 1t
is to be constructed of brick and gran
tie trimmings. 1t will be 60X36 with an
