sinsfy ez:s--to save our souls: to hVe
wholly to the glory of God.
And again in letter dated Oct. 10,
1885, he says of his Georgia mission
MY chief motive is the hope OF saving
my own soul. 1 hope to learn the true
sense of the gospel of Christ by preach-
ing it to the heather"
The historian Bancroft describes him
while resident in Georgia as strolling
the natural avenues of palmettos and
evergreen hollies. and woods somore
with hanging moss, his heart gush-
ing forth in addresses to God.
rs there a thing beneath the sun
That strives with three my heart to
share?
All! tear it thence and reign alone,
The Lord of every motion there
Indeed. these lines, which Mr.. Ban
croft quotes so felicitously, are from
a hymn translated by John Wesley
from the German while he lived in Sa-
vannah. They are the exact express
sion of his spirit and purpose and do
but repeat in verse the lofty profess
sion of st. Paul in prose: i count all
but loss for the eXcellency OF the
knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord;
for whom l have suffered the loss or
all things and do count them but re-
fuse that 1 may win Christ
This singleness of purpose became
deeper and more fixed with added
years. He was wont to say, This
one thing do, spread scriptural hoii-
ness"
All for God.
His time and talents were thus who'll
ly given to God and Gods grace was
wholly given to him, imparting to
him power to influence his own and
later generations beyond all the power
of statesmen or soldiers or the princes
of trade and commerce. Wherefore the
skeptical historian Lecky is constraln-
ed TO say: Although the career of the
Elder Pitt, and the splendid victories
by land and sea, that were won during
his ministry form unquestionably the
most dazzling episodes in the reign of
George II, they must yield, think, in
real Importance to that religious revo-
luton which shortly before had been
begun in England by the preaching of
the Wesleys and Whitefield. The crea-
ton of a large, powerful and active
! sect, extending over both hemispheres,
and numbering many millions of
souls, was but one of its consequences.
| 1t also exercised a profound and last
| ing influence upon the spirit of the Es-
| tablished Church. upon the amount and
distribution of the moral forces of the
nation, and even upon the course of its
political history"
Aiming only at serving God and saw
ing souls, John Wesley did thereby
save his age and nation, and set
in motion saving influences which
have penetrated to every part of the
world

MANY YOUNG ATHLETES.
Great Organization Now Being Per.
fected I'm New York

A very remarkable bit OF evidence
Of the interest that Is being taken IN
sports by the younger generation IL
the organization of the New York
Public School Athletic League with one
hundred thousand members. making II
the largest athletic body in the world.
This association is largely the out
growth Of the military movement that
Gen. George Albert Wingate fostered
IN thepubic schools of the metropolis
some years ago, The idea OF the move
meEt was to attract boys toward phys
ical development and at the same
thing to inspire patriotism.
In changing this organization into
great body which Is to promote run
ming, jumping, shot putting, disc throw
ing, basketball, fencing, etc. insted OF
musket swinging the patriotic idea will
not be I'm the least mnimized, and II Is
safe to say that the cause of good
health viii be materially increased.
Not that drilling Is not u very excel
lent exercise, but because the various
forms OF athletics INDUCED in are more
attractive and thereby gain more re-
cruits and command closer attention.
The example set by New York public
schools should be followed by similar
institutions in every town and city In
the United States. All advanced peda-
gogues freely acknowledge that ath-
letiCs, while quite necessary to the
physical health of the student, are a
potent aid to higher mental attain
ments,

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR JIM.

Jimmy Flynn. the husky Salt Lake
fighter who performed here several
times while Jack McNamee was man
ager for the Salt Lake athletic club,
Is to have another chance to convince
his friends that he can whip Jack Root,
the man who held the title of champion
OF the light heavyweights. 1t will be
remembered that on Thanksgiving day
Root whipped Flynn, but that a howl
was raised because Referee Otto lTloto
used the word "out" for the count
ten" Flynn declared that he was not
distressed but was merely taking add
vantage of the time allowance for a
rest and that he was arising to his feet
when Floto counted him out.
He Immediately issued another chal-
lenge to Root and now the latter
through his manager, Lou Houseman,
has consented to give Jimmy a fight in
January. He also intimates that Nor
gan Williams can have a tilt with Root
on the same night and in the same ring.
That would be great program 70 rthe
Pueblo sports, ell? 1t is Houseman's
idea TO allow Root to box Flynn and
Williams 10 rounds each and the
scheme seems 10 be meeting with favor
among the fight fans. FLYNN will prob
ably kick at this arrangement as he
wants chance to go the limit with
Root and wipe out the defeat suffered
at his hands If possible.

son he is looking for trouble In the
roped arena and Will not be content

Louie Long or both. He says that If the
Fighters will agree to meet him at
catch weights he will agree to stop them
both In the same ring on the same night.
Jack would like to fight again in Salt
Lake and wants to know what the OUT
look for the game Is. here at the pre-
sent time. Jack says II either Herrera
or Long will meet him he will allow
them to make their own terms as to the
purse. He will fight for the entire gate
receipts or divide them in any reasons

ieves he can defeat the Mexican II
