ONE OF THE HEROES.

Here is q song Of hero:
He Is one of the many whose names
Are not and never will be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fame's;
He has never rushed. cheering. to battle,
He has never plunged into the wave
To rescue child or a woman,
Yet he ought to be named with the
brave:
Each night he goes home to a scolding,
To hear the old story again
OF the talent he lacks and his failure
To claim the attention of men.
Each morning he goes to his duties
Still striving to win and still proud.
Still waiting for Fate to permit him
Some day to work up from the crowd:
Each day he goes patiently toiling
And signing alone. If he signs
His sorrows are his and his only:
Hope still is agleam In his eyes;
In spite Of the wearisome scolding
And grumbling he goes to at night,
He faces the world in the morning
As though all his dreams had been
bright.
With never mortal to praise him
For what he has done or has. tried.
He still has an honest ambition
And still in his breast he has pride,
With never the hope Of receiving
Approval at home he can still,
With his sorrows all carefully hidden,
Toll on with a conqueror's will;
So here is song Of hero,
But one OF the many whose names
Are not and will never be written
On the scroll we refer to as Fames.

JOHN WESLEY'S INFLUENCE.
His Immense Personal Power Was
Used With Singular Wisdom
and Liberality.

Even upon the manners of the Eng
lish people no man of his century had
so much influence. 1t was peculiarly
fortunate that the leader of a great
popular movement united with intense
religious earnestness the tastes of the
scholar and the instincts of the gen.
tleman, writes c. T. Winchester in
"Wesley's Days of Triumph in the
Century. He never felt it necessary to
vulgarize his teaching or to make any
concessions to coarseness. In his spot
less linen, his cossack, his black hose
and silver shoe buckles, he was a
model of scrupulous precision in per-
sonal attire; and his oft-quoted say
ing, Cleanliness is next to Goodness"
we'll expresses the almost fastidious
habit Of the man. His dignified, yet
gentle courtesy, his refined self-posses-
sion, made his very presence an ex-
ample and an inspiration.
And it should be said that Wesley
used his immense personal influence
with singular wisdom and liberality.
He had in his hands control of the
whole system of Methodist discipline:
but he did not attempt to bind the
members Of his societies by narrow or
rigid rules, still less to impose upon
them arbitrarily his own judgments.
He was anxious only that Methodists
should be good Christians. On doubt
full matters he did not prescribe or pro-
hibit, but left the decision in such cases
where it belongs with the individual
conscience. In an admirable sermon
on amusements, after admitting that
much may be said for the drama he
wasa lover Of dramatic literature him;
