Bath 'held by John Wesley. The inn.
dent Is related in Southey's "Life of
Wesley." While he svas preaching this
remarkeble personage onterea the room,
Came close to the preacher and demanded
of bite by what authority he was acting,
Wesley made answer, "By that of Jesus
Christ, conveyed to me by the present
Archbishop of Canterbury, when he laid
his hande upon me and said, 'Take thou
authority to preach the Gospel.' Nasb
then affirmed than he was acting con.
teary to the laws. "Besides," said he
'your preaching frightens people out of
their wits.' 'Sir,' replied Wesley, 'did
you ever hear me preach?"11oe said the
Meister of the Ceremonies. 'How then
can you judge of what you never heard?'
Nash made answer, 'By common report.
'Sir,' said Wetley, 'is not your name

More Weddings In Lent.
Lenten marriages are now frequent.
Thies year several well known oouples
have been married in Lent, and 1900
SAW the splehidid bridal of Lord and
Lady Douro during tiee sacred season.
As a nation we seem to have oun
grown the belief that a wedding
whicle took plane during the forty
days would bring in ita train, ill hick
or misfortune, and there is a royal
precedent in favor of this date, as
the marriage of their Majesties the
King and Queen was celebrated in
the Lenten. weeks of 1803. "There
was no Lent when I was young," is
a remark said to have been made by
the lute Queen Victoria when a cer-
tain Bishop issued a slight protest
against some proposed fixture during
the penitential period; and facts
prove that, the rigid observance of
Lent dates from the later years of the
last century.-Frdm the Gentlewoman.
