The following brief sketch of John
Wesley was furnished by the Rev. A.
M. Williams, d. D., pastor of Trinity
Church:
John Wesley was born at Epworth,
Lincolnshire, June II 60. 81 1903 The
Gregorian calendar, which was intro
duced into England and her colonies
in 1852 made necessary in correction
of the equinox, which had refrigerated
eleven days since the Council of Nice
in A. d. 1926. The addition of these
eleven days makes the true date of his
birth June %.
Wesley belonged to a family of nine
teen children, thirteen of whom reach
ed maturity. His father was a clergy
man of the Church of England; his
mother, Susanna Wesley, one of the
greatest women who ever lived. John
Wesley was educated at Charterhouse
School, London, and Church College,
Oxford. Later, however, he was elect
ed fellow of Lincoln College, Oxford.
1t was at oxford that he read the
books and organized the society for
mutual religious improvement and of
which Methodism sprung. Here he
continued till the fall of 1875. At the
repeated solicitations of DR.. John Bur-
ton and Gen. Oglethorpe, in 17S5 he an
dertook a mission to the colony of
Georgia, one of his chief objects being
the conversion of the Indians During
this voyage he met the Moravians, who
exercised a great influence over his re-
lgious experience.
His Work in Savannah.
For sixteen months Wesley lived in
Savannah, making frequent excursions
in executing his ministry to South
Carolina and Frederick. The following
is a schedule of his Sunday work:
$3.50 a, m.-English prayers. 9 a. m.
Italian prayers. 10:30-12:30 second
English service, including sermon and
the holy communion. p. m. French
service. 2 p. m. Sunday-school; the
first moslem Sunday-school on record.
8 p. m. English service. After this
Wesley held his class meeting, which
he claims as the second origin of Meth
odism. 6 p. m. he attended the service
of the Moravians mot as a teacher,
but a learner"
When Wesley lived in Savannah
there was no church building. He be-
gan to preach in a hovel built of split
boards used as public hall as we'll as
for divine worship. This was located
at the northeast corner of Bull and
Bay street lane, now occupied by the
custom house, and is one of the
points to be marked with a tablet.
large and commodious house for court
purposes and worship was erected,
where the marble postofice now
stands. Here Wesley conducted most
of his services in Savannah and a
tablet will be placed there.
OF course Mr.. Wesley was clergy
man of the Church of England while
in Savannah. Christ Church parish
may not have been organized at that
time, but there was no organized
Methodism when Wesley lived here.
Only the germ out of which Methodism
grew was present.
1t is however, very appropriate that
in this bi-centennial year Savannah
should specially celebrate the anniver-
sary of his birth. He was among the
great men connected with its early his
tory The influence of his mission here
or his experience and the truth of his
tory both approve the celebration.

MINING MAN FAV0RS
GREATER GEORGIA.
SCENTS Seductive Possibilities for
the immigrant.

Says the Gold Field of Georgia Pre-
the Immigrant.
Mr.. George H. Larcum, one of the
best known mining men in the state,
who is the representative in Georgia
of the Dahlonega Gold Mining and
Milling Company is in the city en-
route to New York. He is stopping at
the Pulaski.
Mr.. Larcum is much interested In
the Greater Georgia movement. He
says that during his residence in
Georgia he has often wondered at the
way in which Georgians let opportuni-
ties for advertising their state pass. He
is enthusiastic in the belief that North
Georgia will become one of the great
est gold mining regions anywhere to
be found; and thinks that some facts
relative to the possibilities and condi-
lions in the gold mining districts of
Georgia should be embodied in the adj
vertisement of the state in the Greater
Georgia movement.
Mr.. Larcum does not speak from any
interest which his company may gain
in the matter since it is already the
owner of more than 1000 acres of the
finest mining lands in Lumpkin, and
adjoining counties, in the heart of the
gold belt" He says that there has
been a revolution in the mode of min
ing, and the possibilities have grown
conmensurately. Many improvements
are in contemplation. and the state
biologists report shows that more in
ouiries have been made by Western
and Northern miners concerning the
Georgia gold district in the past three
morths than ever before in the history
Of the state.

The movement, however, ooes not az

urging that Griffin, or some point in
North Georgia be selected for the en-
camnrnent. Mai. Waite of the First
Cavalry. Capt. Gordon of the Hussars;
Capt. Hughes of the Liberty Independ-
ent Troop, and Capt. Whaley OF the
Waynesboro Light Troop all favor
Griffin.
The objections which the men raise to
having the encampment either at Mel
drin1 or at Savannah are twofold. They
maintain that they want change OF
climate. scenery and environments,
that the camp may be health-giving as
well as instructive; and that with the
camp established almost at home, 1t
would not seem like an encampment,
but, rather. that the members of the
commands would be bothering with
business, and making constant trips
TO the city.
On the other hand. there are some
among the cavalry who would like to
see the encampment nearer home.
There are many inducements offered,
which are absent In the consideration
of tl,n Griffin ancamnment.

brated their Goth anniversary Tues
day evening. The hall was well filled
there being about eighty in attend
auce. Many visitors were present,
including, good'y party from the
Sickle Chapter, Stowe. After the beau
tifu work OF the degrees was conferred
on four candidates, banquet was
served, followed by a business meet
ing and a very fine musical and
literary program. The degree work
was very creditab'y done and the
moving tableaux we're fine. On the
whole it was very enjoyable time
and every one was glad that they
were Stars. To our visitors we say
come again and more OF you. Mrs
Lillian c. Chase of East Fletcher Asso-
ciate Grand Conductress was with us
and lent much to the enjoyment
of all by her pleasant ways. She was
received with grand honor. Dr.J. A

Base Ball.

Baseballin in Morrisville is assured for
the season and q team was organized
last Wednesday night, with Billy "
Tillotson Captain and Dc. George T.
Stevenson Manager.
1t is proposed to put a first class
team into the field, one which base
ball enthusiasts will feel like giving
good support and it is up to the Nor
risville people to do their part in at
tending the games and giving every
encouragement to the project. 1t is
the opinion of business men in other
towns that a baseball team properly
managed is a good advertisement to
their towns. There is no better town
in Northern Vermont of It's size than
Morrisville to support a frst-class
ball team. With proper patronage
the boys should pay expenses this
year and have money in the treasury
at the end of the season. Many of the
old players will be in the game az ain
and it is expected that Parker and
Miner will be the battery.
