ONCE UPON MAY oath


This is Wesley Day, the bicenten-
airy of the evening in 1898 on which
John Wesley went very unwillingly"
to a society in Aldersgate Street, Lon
don, where one was reading Luther's
preface to the Epistle to the Romans, +"
as we know from the journal of the
founder of Methodism.
Wesley, the 18th child of a Church
of England rector, was 35 and him
self an Anglican preacher, ct the time
of this occurrence which Lecky de-
clared formed an epoch in English
history.
Nevertheless, the United States,
where it is the largest of all Protest
ant denominations, can be regarded
as the home of Methodism. For in
1875 John Wesley had gone to Geor-
gia as missionary among the Amerin-
dams and minister in Savannah.
There he formed little society of 80
or 40 of the more devout members of
his congregation, which met on Wed
nesday evenings for free conversa-
ton, began and ended with PRAYER"
There had been a similar society at
Oxford. Later he wrote, "I cannot
but observe that these were the first
rudiments of Methodist Societies."
During the next half century, Yves
ley travelled 100000 miles, preached
10000 sermons, wrote scores of en-
during hymns. Yet he managed to DO
a prodigious amount of literary work

He wrote English, French, Latin,
Greek and Hebrew grammars; a
compendium of logic and of social
philosophy; an English dictionary; a
short Roman history; a history of
England; an ecclesiastical history; a
Christian Library of so volumes for
the benefit of Methodism's other
teachers; endless biographies. At the
same time he carried on a monthly
magazine.
You'd think that one who did so
much brain work would be so high
pitched as to get little sleep. Wesley
found a system that solved that prob
lem. He used to wake every night
about IL or 1, and remain awake
some time. Convinced he lay longer
in bed than nature required, he had
himself reused at 7 a. M, nearly an
hour earlier than the previous day.
He still lay awake as usual, so he set
his alarm for an hour earlier, and
next morning rose at six, with the
same result. The following night
he set the alarm for five, btu awoke
az before. The fourth day he arose
at four, and slept all through that
night. The secret was-he found out
how much sleep he needed.
