GREAT WORKER
81 Am Not as Bad as

My Prayers"

The following extract from an article
in lions Herald of March 1, 1899, is
given to show some of the obstacles
surmounted by the young evangelist
during his work in Savannah some
of which were obstacles of his own
construction:
Wesley, when he came to Georgia
at 80 years of age, was like many a
theologue whom we see to-day-a pi-
etist of the morbid and intense type,
a recluse and ascetic, with, all I'M
consciously much of the Pharisee in
him, thinking that perfection would
come as the result of Hastings, prayers
and privations. Wesley started out
with most rigid regulations for him
self and his associates in the matter
of private and public devotions.
THE fifty-seven days on shipboard
before reaching this country were oc-
cupied from four in the morning until
late at night in religious observances.
A medieval pietist was the natural
result, and this Wesley became. He
preached his first sermon in Savannah,
which had then only about forty
houses, on March Z, 1876, from 1 Cor,
1873: And though 1 bestow all my
goods to feed the poor, and though 1
give my body to be burned, and Lave
not charity, it profieth me nothing.
A Remarkable Text.
"A capital text, assuredly, with
which to commence his public mission
in the New World; but Wesley's min
istry in Savannah shows that up to
this time his knowledge of PauPs
great utterance was theoretical, and
that Fundamentally he had not as yet
learned the alphabet of Christian char
ity or love.
I'm his sermon he introduced two
death-bed scenes-that of his father at
Epworth, and another which he had
witnessed at Savannah, and which
was "a spectacle worthy to be seen of
God and angels and men, He Off
cated at in the morning, at u, and
again in the afternoon; and announced
his design to administer the sacrament
on every Sunday and on every holt
day. Wesley became a high church
man of the most radical type, an I'M
yielding stickler for ritualism, and be-

The Committee on Music for the
Wesley celebra ton has been fortunate
in securing the help of Mr.. E. K. DEM

Wesley hymns, written by John and
Charles Wesley, will be used and the
hymns will be printed and distributed

ON MELLOW SOIL
Arrival Of Founder Of
MethodISm and His
Life and Labors in
Savannah.

Mr. Wesley, who kept a journal all
his life, has left a record of his daily
doings in Savannah, which is of great
local interest. The original manu-
script of this journal Bishop Hendrix
of the Southern Methodist Church OBJ
tanned while in Europe and brought
it with him, to be deposited in the
Methodist archives of this county.
From the printed journal the fol-
lowing of local interest is given:
Thursday, Feb. 5, 1876, between 2
and 8 in the afternoon, God brought
us all safe into the Savannah river.
We cast anchor near Tybee Island"
Friday 6, about in the morning,
we first set foot on American ground.
1t was a small uninhabited island, over
against Tybee. Mr.. Oglethorpe led us
to a rising ground where We all kneel-
ed down to give thanks. He then took
a boat for Savannah
Where Wesley Landed.
The island mentioned was probably
Cockspur, on which Fort Pulaski now
stands. Mr.. Wesley and the others re-
mained on the island til the 18th, wheS
he and his brother Charles Wesley, the
great hymn writer, who labored al
Frederick, passed up the river to visit
the Indians, who, he says, lived in d
grove to the west of Savannah. Fail
ing to find Tomochichi at home, they
came to Savannah, thus making his
first visit on the 18th of February
1876. At II o'clock that night he re-
turned to the island where he remained
til the oath. When, passing through
Savannah, he was Joined by some OF
the German brethren the MoravianS
and went on to Mrs. Musgrove's, who
later gave the colonists some trouble
through claiming to be the queen of the
Indians, and therefore entitled to the
lands. In settlement of her claim she
did receive st. GATHERINGS Island.
At the time of this visit Mrs. Mus
grove lived about a mile beyond the
Indian village. which Frances Moore, il
his Voyage to Georgia in 1885, say:
is between three and four miles wes
of Savannah, on the southern bank o.
the river. The object of the visit, Mr.
Wesley says, was ito choose a spot fol
the little house which Mr.. Oglethorpt
had promised to build US" This house

| an Indian school in 1876, and within {

anniversary of the birth of John Yves
ley, the founder of Methodism, and Sa-
vannah, having had the honor and dis
tinction of being the home of Wesley
while in America, has fifty sought to
mark the day and time with unusual
acclaim.
The corrected dates bring the birth
day anniversary of the great evange-
list to June 2s. but the Methodists
here were not willing to celebrate on
iy single day. So they planned for
a grand gathering of Methodists from
all over the South and arranged a
programme that will cover the time
from June 25 to 20. Some of the
greatest orators of the North and
South have been secured for the occa-
sion and the days will be made mem
orable for generations, and maybe
centuries.
From the first thought of holding a
celebration to the present time earnest
workers have been busy and the de-
tails of the affair were well planned.
Savannah had been honored by visits
of great men, In many cases among
those men of giant statue none tow

often been written and his works are

A Proper Rebuke.

In the refusal of the Russian govern
ment to receive a petition forwarded by
direction of President Roosevelt in regard
TO the late massacre of Jews at kischenefi
the Roosevelt Administration got just what
il deserved. No matter how horrible and
atrocious the killing of the Jews was, 1t
was an affair we had no right to officially
NEEDLE with. 1t was an insult to the
Russian government to ask the Gar to re-
ceive the petition, as it implied lack Of
inhumanity and prompting to duty. OF
course the Russian government could not
accept any such document. No govern
ment in the world would have accepted 1t,
officially sent The petition could have
been sent privately, but not officially. 1t
is singular, too, how many eminent per
sons signed the petition, who are not poll
ticians looking for popularity with M
merous class of voters. \ moment :
thought would have convinced any Of them
that Russia could not accept the petition
through official sources, and thus acknowl-
edge inferiority of government. Presi-
dent Roosevelt would not have consented
to transmit the petition had he Dot been a
candidate for re election. Ii Is an unwrit-
ten law that DO person shall have third
term in the Presidency. It ought to be
written in the Constitution that no man
shall have but one term. We would then
have more craftsmanship in the White
House and less politics. The frst term L
