take sides, the majority against Mr..
Wesley, and the latter, finding the
colony hostile to his efforts, bids
farewell to America).
1t was after Wesley's return from
America, then a somewhat discour-
aged man of IS, that he experienced
what he looks upon as his conversion.
Whilst listening to the preaching of
a Moravian missionary in London, he
felt a revival of religious inspiration,
and that is given as the date of the
beginning of the great Methodist re-
vival, whose influence became world
wide. Wesley was urged by White
field to go out into the highways and
byways to carry the message of the
Gosepl, and he at once began the
open-air meetings that were to have
such an immediate effect upon the
people of England. Though his ap-
peal was made to the artisan and
middle-class folk, the whole of Eng
lish society was affected by his work.
Students of history declare it was
Wesleyanism that saved England
from an upheaval similar to the
French revolution, the great body of
the English people being Influenced
toward piety rather than atheism.
Wesley was not a particularly dra-
matte orator, but his sincerity, the
deep conviction of his faith, touched
his hearers profoundly. And, besides
being preacher of might, he was a
good organizer. His converts were
organized into classes, which were
guided and watched by an appointed
leader, the people not allowed to fall
away through negligence. Most of
the Wesleyan preachers were not or
dained ministers, but laymen or local
exhorters, who looked we'll after
their flocks. Not only was the influ-
ence of the exhorters felt in = re-
ligious way, but they were wielders
of power in the social and Industrial
questions of the day.
English novels and histories often
paint for us these local preachers
and teachers of the people, and we
notice that we find these guides in
matters spiritual and secular often
lent their influence to the formation
of labor unions. It is said that prob
ably the majority of the representa-
| tives of the workingmen to-day in
the English parliament have been
either Methodist class leaders or To-
zeal preachers. s. z.s. s.s 4. 4

Now that we are speaking of fig
ures in connection with Methodism,
it may not be out of place to men
ton the great twentieth century
fund raised in the United States,
though mention probably is unnec-
essary, the fund being such recent
and noteworthy achievement. The
Methodist church in the northern
and western states collected over
$20,000,0O0 for it's Notwithstanding
fund'-which the Worlds Work
speaks of as an achievement that
probably has no parallel in the whole
history of Protestant Christianity.
1T shows that the church is vital
part of the community, that it is a
vigorous institution, that it has a
strong place in the loyalty and affec-
ton of it's people, The fund was
a special one, in addition to the sums
paid for the various expenses of the
church; and the proportioning out
of the great amount is of interest,
indicating the present attitude and
position of the Methodists in Amer
lea. Nine millions are devoted to
debts on church property, over 49,
100000 to educational purposes, and
the remainder is reserved for philan-
thropical and charitable work.

early missionary efforts of John
Wesley down in Georgia. In 1875 he
accepted the invitation of the gov
ernor of the colony, Lord Oglethorpe,
to go to Georgia as missionary to the
Indians. and journeyed there in the
same ship with the governor. Though
he worked in this field with unspar-
ing zeal, his experience was not a
very happy one; ':the end was a
sorry love affair, a suit at law, hos
tility of parishioners, and a return
to England" And, later, when
George III. and the American colo
nists actively disagreed. Wesley's
final stand to support the English
side detracted very considerably for
awhile from his influence in this
country. But the influence eventu-
ally was wonderful. To-day in the
United States there are 5000, 600
members of the Methodist church,
and in addition an equal number OF

JOHN WESLEY AND THE
GROWTH or METHODISM
The Church Is the Strongest OF the Protestant
UNCONVENTIONAL Bodies OF the World.

American girl has both a comical and
a pathetic side; and one really is at
a loss as to whether one should pity
the gentleman, or wholly censure
him. Soon after he came to Georgia,
a sprightly woman appealed to him
to become her spiritual guide, and
he began the task with all zeal. And
presently, his convert proving so
amenable to his teaching, teacher
and taught became dependent the
one upon the others society. So
much so that one of Wesley's friends
felt called upon to warn the minister.
The friend limited that the young
woman was designing and untrust-
worthy, not at all fit to mate with
minister of the Gospel. In perplex-
ity, the minister sought counsel of
the Moravian bishop, and the latter
advised that John drop the young
lady. Which he did, at once, without
preamble or explanation of any sort,
though it is said the pair were as
good as betrothed. But this was not
all. and now comes the more incrim-
mating action. Presently the young
woman married a Mr.. Williamson,
and as Mrs. Williamson presents her
self to receive the sacrament of the
church; whereupon John. whose mo.
tive we must not question, challenges
her fitness to receive the sacrament.
Great excitement reigns in the COM
munity, and Mr.. Williamson, right
eously incensed, causes the arrest of
his wife's defamer. The Georgians
