that il is ridiculous to suppose that
foreigners of title marry Americans for
their wealth. OF course; il is absurd.
Indeed, it is the merest coincidence
that Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, Miss

American women who married foreign
titles, were each possessed of an enor-

TRAINS LEAVE ANNAPOLIS,
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-26

Bethesda Day in the Wesley Bi-Cen-
tenary Celebration will no doubt be one
of the most interesting of the occasion.
The following sketch therefore, which
was written by George G. Smith, a few
years ago. on George Whitefeld in
Georgia." will be of special interest:
After John Wesley was elected fell
low of Lincoln he went to Epworth,
and mis-. father and Charles took his
place in the university. The Methodist
Society. as it was derisively called, was
under his care. George WHITEHEAD, a
poor young fellow, was a director in
the university, and Charles invited him
tensely religious and was much graf
flied at the offer, and became attached
to churches and afterward to his
brother by a very strong tie.
Before they came to Georgia he had
been preaching to the amazement of
priest and had no curacy, but his
preaching was the sensation of the
hour. He received a letter from John
Wesley, who had just reached Savan-
nah, urging him to come to him, and
he decided at once to do so. He had
a young friend and associate, Mr.
James Habersham, who offered to go
with him as schoolmaster. He had
made all his arrangements to leave
England and had engaged passage,
when he heard that Charles Wesley
was already in London and that John
was on the way. 1t was too late to
retreat, and so the young fellow of not
rs came to this new land. His own

finished so admirably that I emptied
my pockets wholly into the collector
dish-gold and all. At this sermon
there was also one of our club, who,
suspecting a collection might be in
tended, emptied his pockets before he
came from home. Towards the con-
clusion of the discourse, however ne
felt strong inclination to give, and
applied to neighbor. who stood near
him, to lend him money for the pur-
pose The request was fortunately
made to. perhaps, the only one man in
the company who had the firmness not
to be affected by the preacher. His
answer was, AT any other time, friend
Hopkinson, | would lend thee freely,
but not now for thee seems to me to
be out of thy right senses.
Attracted Thousands.
In Charleston and Boston, while on
the same mission, and throughout the
colonies from Massachusetts to Geor-
gia, Whitefeld attracted thousands
VINO came to hear him preach the love
of God, and tell of his orphans in
Georgia. 1t was thus that the founda-
ton of the Bethesda Orphan House
was laid. 1t was the work of life
time, and when Whitefield passed away
in 1870 he bequeathed Bethesda and
the care of it's orphans to his co-work-
err thy gracious and generous, Countess
of Huntington.
The war of the revolution was dis
astrous to Bethedsa, though the rec
ords show that it was open during the
trying times OF the years HITS. 1t
was occupied by the British troops la
ter on in that war. After the Revo-
luton, Bethesda passed into the hands
of trustees appointed by the state of
Georgia, who rebuilt the orphanage.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-26

This building. however, suffered the
fate of its predecessor. and was de-
stroyed by lightning. This misfor-
tune. with the losses sustained by the
great hurricane of 1904, seemed to have
broken the spirit of those to whom
the sacred charge was instructed. The
spirit of Wakefield no longer lowered
over his Bethesda, but rested upon the
Union Society. which, with the Female
Orphan Asylum, undertook the care
of the orphans of Savannah and vi
cinity. 1t would seem that the Father
of the Fatherless did not intend that
the work of His servant should perish
from the earth.
The Union Society.
While Whitefeld was building his
orphan house there arose in Savannah
the Union Society, organized in 1850,
which also cared for the fatherless
children of the town Then, as 1t does
to-day, its membership included men
of all creeds and classes. This socie-
ty assumed charge of the work begun
by Whitefield and the Countess of
Huntington, and continued by the state
of Georgia and just fifty years after
the trustees surrendered their trust
namely in 1884, the Union Society be-
came possessors Of the sacred ground
and rebuilt the house of mercy founded
bg Whitefield.
Bethesda has always been poor, not
| because of lack Of funds. but for the
reason that the calls upon its char

After twenty years trial he decided
needed as religious college, and he re-
solved to change Bethesda into a COL
lege. The Legislature granted him A.
900 acres on Turtle river, and he in
tended to stock it and plant rice to sup
port the college.
"Whitefield tried in vain to get a
charter for his college from England,
but as he would make his college an
exclusively Episcopal school, the petit
ton was refused. He, however, en-
ployed teachers, begged for his library,
had books of all kinds, Greek, Latin,
Hebrew, Lyriac, etc., and had all a
college would have except an organ
ization and students. In the meantime
he had been sweeping over both CONT
nents, preaching earnestly and beg
ging for his orphans and his college.
now and then spending a few weeks
in Georgia, but always keeping in close
touch with it, He had a large plant
alton and sixty negroes and about fifty
children in his home. He had gone on
a preaching tour and a begging expe-
dition to New England, when at New
buryport. Mass, he died suddenly of
heart disease.
THE state paid him high honors and
he is the only Methodist preacher who
was ever so honored as to have a coun-
ty called after him. Mr. Whitefield
was not a Wesleyan but he was a
Methodist, holding as did Mr.. Wesley
close hold on the Church of England.
He was only rector in Savannah for
a short time, but always preached in
Savannah when he was in Georgia.
zone of his associates in the minis
try in Georgia was Mr.. Zauberhuh1er
the Swiss Episcopalian, who gave the
first large bequest to education ever
made in Georgia.
