Two hundred years ago, on the 280.1
day of June, there wee bum in the reo-
tory of R poor Lineolnelaire olergyman at
Epworth a child that was tieetined to
become the leader of one of the greatest

experienced. The future age work of

lately and fittinely celebrated legtb in
Ottuada and the United Stetes.
Wee'ey was born at a time when the
English people were in the most deprov•
ed condision. Ae one noted writer has
said, the amusements of the people were
for the moat port grossly lioentioug, and
of the brutally cruel oharnoter of bear-
haitiog and nook fighting. Smuggling
wee universal on the sem °oast, and
wreaking was common. Robberies, in
spite of the punishment of death lid:hated
even upon whimpering boys were of con-
stant ocourreuce. The streets were ren•
dered unaefe at nights by $hs foal and
aimless ferooities of the aristocratic
Mohooks. Chiba of young , nobles, like
the iutamous "Hell Fire Club,' were the
scene of horrible orgies and blaephemies.
Duelling was demanded by the code of
honor. Political profligacy and venality
Were relied upon as inetrnmeote of Gov•
ernment. Illegality was rampant. In
two yeare 50,000 persons Were convicted
of smuggling gin, and fifty-two criminate
were hanged in one year at Tyburn. The
House of Lords appointed a Ootnmittee
to et.guire into the nature and name
aseuined by the "Hell Fire (nub," whioh
was active in trying to win members
among the youth of the Ithgdom, and
who professed themselves votaries of the
devil, prayed to him, and drank his
health.
TEE ESTABLISHED 01111004,
There was no hope of improvement
offered by the Establisbed Church. The
real conditiou of the State Church was
strikingly pictured by the late Dean
Farrar, in an online written bat a few
months ago. "The nue thiog," he said,
"of which the Church of England in the
eighteenth century was most afraid, the
one thing which she denoutmed most per -
Blatantly in her sermdlia, was 'eutlea-
steam.' She utterly forgot that, with -
ant enthusiasm, the Gospel would never
Tanya spread beyond Palestina, and that
all Ohristieus are bidden to be fervent

the Church of the eighteenth century
could boost of its Berkeley, its Butler,
and ite Wilson, it bad prelates who lived
in the groesest plethora of wordly ease,
who epees:led huge fortunes oat of the
revenues of the Oaurab Inc their fami-
lies, while half their clergy were left to
starve; who posed ae territorial nobles,
with every adjunct of lukewarm osten
tation ; who had forgotten the very exis-
tence of their immense reeponsibiiitiee ;
and some who rorely, if ever, set foot
in their hal heathenish and wholly nee
leeted dioceeee. The sermons of bleat
age are largely occupied with tepid mortis
and hatf hearted argumente. The
preaohers, believing in their side and
comfortable via media, relied chiefly on
a worldly common settee, and represented
the all merciful Father, as a 'colorless
Providence.' In their discourses we
rarely find a touch of emotion, or a flash
of eloquence. 'Doll, duller, dullest,' is
the epitaph pronounced upon them by
oviticia, who made a ooliecioas attempt to
read at leant some of them."
It was while la attendance at Oxford
that Wesley was roused to a sense of the
omnitry's neecie by it visit to a Moravian
mission, and hit firat step was to form a
group of earnest young etudente, pledged
to work a reform in the land. They .all
were poeseteed with a true love for the
Climb, and had no intention of waging
' war upon it ; it was spiritual awakening
they sought, and ao long as they were
permitted they remained within the
Cheetah and preaoheri from its pulpits.
'Their cry was for purity, and Inc a trust
in God as hope of ealvation, and when
they found the world would not go to
tham, they went to the world, preaohing
in the apse air, in the mines and whera•
ever else tioesible. The common people,
as of old Hemmed ghodly, and large nunt•
bore were converted from lives of sin into
good God fearing eitizens, but the wealthy
and the cultured were not unrepresented
among those who joined the revival move-
ment.
HOSTILITY SHOWS.
Greet hostility was shown to Wesley
and his supporters. Briokbato, eggs and
rotten vage'ebles were thrown at them on
frequent otioasione, and twin a bull goad-
ed on by doge, was driven into the crowd
of listeners, Converts were stetted,
beaten with midgets, dragged through the
kennels and sometimes wouudeti unto
d•itth. Men calling themselves gentle-
men, frequently led the mob, and elergy•
men became asecniiated with those who
culled Wesley "an old fox," "a notoriouti
hypoorita," "an e•varinions self seeker."
Several pastoral letters were written by
Bishop Gibeon, of London, against the
Methodists, who complained about their
boldness in inviting the rabble to hear
them, the vioar of Bottoms., in a mtm•
pblet, 'vainly told the Methodists that
they were not wanted in the Church of
Begland.
It was with great regret that Wesley
decided to leave the Choral and form a
new root, Al one time he even said,
"When the Methodists leave the Ohuech
of Eogland God will leave them," bat
the Churehei opposition drove him from
that position. It was relnetantly that,
iu 1789, he beton to preach in the open
air, to ordain ley premium, to allow his
preathers to administer the Sacrament,
"If we must either dieeent or be silent,"
he fetid, "aohtin est, ehuroh or no chetah,
' we meet attend to the laving of souls."
A ysae Wee the clergy closed thole
ohttrohee against Wesley and repelled hie
converts from the Holy Communion.

work in his history of England, Mr. J.
R. Greene says : "The nobleet result of
this religious revival wee the steady
attempt, which has never oeased trout
that day to thie, to remedy the guilt, the
ignoratioe, the pbyeioial suffering, the
soolal degradation of the profligate and
the poor. "Not least of the many tribut-
es mentionable is that of Southey'e, who
observed : "'I choeider Wesley ae the

lay's death or in 1801, there were only

The Good Roads Movement,
The seventh anneal report of the Oom
miseioner of Highways is one of the moat
intereeting departmental publications.
It ahem that the people have realized
the importance of the country road as a
pert of the transportation system of the
Rrovinee. Attention had been conoeu•
trated for years on the extension and
perfection of the railed highways, and
progress in that department of transport-
ation had been rapid, while in the fields
of ordinary road building there bad been
indifference and negleut. The old primi-
tive system of stetnte labor served ite pun

iug Re in other fields of transportation.
The firet definite etep in conneotiou with
the change wee the organization of the
Ontario Good Booths Aeeooialion in 1894.
It MS composed largely of delegates from
county and township Councils, farmers'
institutes, dairymen's and other similar
assooiatione. The Government realized
the importance of the work, and In 1896
oreated the office of Provincial Highway
Cororoiesioner. At that time the muni.
oipalitiee were expending three and a half
million dollars 8 year on roads, and the
amount involved was alone sufficient to
justify the coat of skilled manaeement.
By the end of 1901 there were 78 town•
ships which had abolished or aommuted
statute labor in whole 00 10 part, and the
number was increased to 120 by the end
of 1902. Reports indicate that this ex.

THE FREE HOSPITAL FOR CONSUMPTIVES
AN URGENT APPEAL FOR HELP.
To THE EDIToE.
Dear Sir,—I take the liberty of soliciting your aid in raising funds for
the maintenance of the Free Hospital for Consumptives. On account of
our need, we find it necessary to make an urgent appeal to the public, ,''
Permit me to state that the sum of $150,000 has already boon invested
in the two Gravenhurst institutions and property just outside of Toronto on
which to erect a home for advanced or incurable cases of consumption. The
maintenance of the existing institutions necessitates an expenditure of over
$50,000 per annum, and to -day there is a debt of $73,000, in the form of
an overdraft, for which the Bank demands settlement, and so we need
the help of all.
Seven years ago, consumption was commonly believed to be incurable.
The Toronto Globe, commenting editorially on 0111` proposition to erect
a consumptive sanatorium, said: "Tho consumptive is under sentence
of death." It was soon shown, however, by the cures effected in the
Muskoka Cottage Sanatorium, that u great field for useful work had been
opened. But the demand for increased accommodation, and the cry for help
from those who could not afford to pay, became so urgent, that the trustees
decided to open a second home, -which was located within a mile of the
parent institution. Since we first, began our work nearly eight hundred
patients have been cared for; and the medical records show that of this
number a large percentage have been completely cured, and others sent home
so greatly improved that they were able to return to their regular work.
There is no other hospital for consumptives in Canada. The demands
are, therefore, urgent. Our board of trustees, who had already given freely
of their time and money, having faith that the people of Canada would come
to their relief, and pressed by the urgency of the needs of the hospital,
incurred this debt which must now be provided for. We- have no endow-
ment, nor money with which to .care for the large number of patients who
are now in the hospital and not able to pay a single,, cent towards their
maintenance and treatment, • , •
In Canada alone 8,000 die of this disease annually, and it has been
shown by experience and results of our work that the greater number of
these could be saved, if promptly treated. One hope-Lthe only hope—is in
the philanthropy of our people and their knowledge of our needs, and we
appeal to you to help us to make these needs so known that all may bo
impelled to help. Do not let those who cannot give large amounts feel they
cannot help; all gifts are helpful.
I am, yours faithfully,
Toronto. W. T. GAGE.
