Violent Method Of Courtship.

W. Pett Ridge, the English novelist,

stories concern people in the poorer
ranks Of life, and by far the greater
number of them have the merit Of be.

about Entebbe and Kampula, but they
are 26 miles apart
Although the staple diet of the
natives consists of bananas and pota
toes, the men often show great stay
ing power over long distances when
carrying letters, and 1t was hoped that
the Olympic time might be beaten
This was not so, however, as the win
ner took three hours and three min
utes over the course, being closely fol
lowed home by the second and third
men. When, however, it is considered
that they were unframed, that they
finished fresh enough to leap and run
about, that the cyclists merely patrolleG
the road and did not pace the runners
that the race took place In the hottest
part Of the day and was partly over q
road wet with recent shower, no one
will deny the mems ability. 1t Is
amusing to note that three of the
runners carried umbrellas and that
the winner on finishing danced about
salying that he was very fine fellow
and knew how to run well.

WESLEY CALLED "A vAeABoND.
Irish Grand Jury Dealt Hardly with
Founder of Methodism.

The Irish Year Book for 1908, just
issued at Dublin, contains bit OF
history concerning John and Charles
Wesley that Is not generally known to
Methodism. This account notes that
John Wesley arrived in Dublin on q
Sunday in August, 1747. He had been
preceded by lay preacher earlier In
the same year, who had gathered a
society numbering almost 300. These
Wesley describes as "strong in faith"
OF the Irish he writes, $50 civil a
people in general l never saw either
In Europe or America" Charles
Wesley and other preachers followed
him and the Methodist song writer
heard his own tunes sung and whistled
as he went.
Cork city was disturbed in 1748 by
the advent Of the new preachers. A
local ballad singer gains temporary
notoriety as riot leader. Subsequently
the grand jury declared: 1--WE find
and present Charles Wesley to be q
person of ill-fame, vagabond and a
common disturber of his majesty's
peace and we pray that he may be
transported"
The movement had spread to Ulster
in 1850. At Limerick, in 1852, John
Wesley presided over the first
conference Of the preachers. John
Wesley died in 1871, having made
more than two score cross-channel
journeys and having spent six years
Of his life in Ireland, as well as
presiding at all the conferences from
1856 to 1778.

Of emigration the Methodist church In
Ireland has 250 ministers, 1853 Sunday
schools, with total of more than
