WESLEY'S WORK IN GEORGIA
The Great MethodIst's Motto, "ee
DiiIgent," Was His Rule Of Action
Consistently Adhered To.

One of Wesley's rules. inherited
from early Oxford days and handed
down to his helpers in later days,
was this: "Be diligent; never be
trifingly employed" His own output
of solid work In Georgia was extraor-
binary. He mastered at least three
languages and taught two. He built
house. fenced and planted a garden,
felled trees and helped to make roads.
He compiled and published the first
hymn book ever used in the English
church, and prepared second, trans
lating hymns, composing others and
selecting from the best sources.
He had a long, wide and difficult
parish. In the library of the London
colonial office found map, drawn
probably by an early eighteenth CEN
tury survey officer. which reproduces
Wesley's American circuit, bounded
by the Savannah river and extending
south to the frontiers of Florida
territory of painless woods. swamPs
and savannahs; seacoast studded
with a perfect labyrinth of islands and
indented by river estuaries and
creeks. On foot or In pettiawgas and
scout boats he worked his parish,
travelling In all winds and weathers
and feeding sparsely.
Wrapped IN his cloak, he slept on
the ground, or on deck, drenched with
rain and night dews. his clothes some
times frozen to the earth; fording
rivers, losing his way In swamps
reading prayers and preaching to
planters and Indian traders and boat
men, singing and reading and praying
as he went, observing all his rules
wasting no time. evangelizing every
man, woman or child he met with
caring with infinite tenderness for the
sick--the bond slave of Jesus Christ
the friend and pastor Of lonely col
onists.--From "The Journal OF John
Wesley" by Nehemiah Curnock. In

MODERN CHESS.
The Game Vastly Different From That
Of the Ninth Century.

Chess II but game. a pastime, a
relaxation. but 1t has at times abb
sorbed the faculties of the intellectual
In every cline. Perhaps the greatest
eulogy on the game was the remark
OF Sir Walter Raleigh. II do not wish
TO live longer than can play chess"
1t Is certain that those who do not
play the game are quite unable to
form any conception of the high intel
lectual delights experienced by the
chess enthusiast
The origin OF chess has been sought
in vain The fact is the game has so
changed. developed and improved
down the course of centuries that In
its present form ii would not be rec
ognized by its inventor. IL there ever
was one The oldest chess problem on
record Is thought 10 be that contained
In an ancient Persian manuscript at-
tributed to Caliph kalifen Mutasin

to learn the old rules before It was

squares diagunally. The bishop had
no power over any square except the
third from which II stood on its own
diagonal line. but 1t was allowed to
vault over any piece that happened to
be between. In short. II was totally
different game. Chess In the precise
form In which we know II and play it
today is a comparatively modern game.
