He did so, and was promptly re-

Wrong Watering-All plants like to

John WesIey's Ascetlc Life.

During the whole of his residence in
Georgia Wesley slept on bare boards
and fed on the plainest vegetarian
food-as a rule on bread. He drank
neither wine nor beer. His first act
on landing was to smash the rum
casks and to impose upon himself and
his comrades-all members of the
Holy club-a vow of abstinence. No
trace can be discovered of single
day or hour given to recreation. All
his reading, his conversation, his
writing, even in the grammars and
catechisms he compiled, were relig-
ious. The nearest approach to rec
reative reading that | have been able
TO discover in the diaries Is Milton
and Plato. The diversions of earlier

like-are conspicuous by their alb
