When we know ethat. John Wesley
was thirty -+five, in 1738, and tiea he
was not only a son of the Epworth
Rectory but had been his father's eur-
ate eleven years before, we know that
what he himself termed "conversion"
was no mean experience. From it
there sprang a ; definite life purpose
and with it a vigor of body equal to
the -strain to wbieh he subjected him-
self.
• John Wesley came of good etock.
His great-grandfather, Bartholomew,
and his grandfather, John', were both
Oxford •men and clergymen. His pa-
ternal grandmother was a daughter
of the scholarly -Puritan, John White,
a member of the Westminster As-
sembly aid one of the original paten-

She was also a niece, of the famous
divine, Thomas Fuller.

worth had a large .family}—nineteen
children in ;twenty-one years, he us-

Charles was John's favorite brother
and between the two there developed
a rare intimacy. Both brothers were
ordained in the Anglican Church, and
while John was the treat preacher
and writer, Charles was. the poet of
-'the" Evangelical Revival. . He wrote
about sixty-fve hundred hymns.

It was. in August, 1727, that. John,
Wesley left Oxford to asotst, bis fa-
ther at this urge of Epworth and
the adjoining perish of Wroote. In.
November, two years later, he wss
summoned back to .Oxford by Dr. Mor-
ley, Rector of Lincoln,, to take up
'the, duties of Moderator. In addition
to 'this she was lecturer in Greek and
he retained this pdat'until the•end' of
1735. •
When John returned to the Univers-
ity he found`-hais brother- Charles the
centre of a little group, the Holy. Club
banded together for the purpose of
leading more strict and ordered lives.
A Christ Church . undergraduate nam-
ed theta "Methodiste" and the name
stuck., The article on Jolla Wesley, iu
the Encyclopaedia Britannica, ex -
Plains their motives.
"When lie (John) came into resi-
dence in November cher was recogniz-
ed as the Lather of the Holy Club, It
•met at first on Sunday evenings, them
every evening was passed In • Wes-
ley's room or that of some other mem-:
her. They read the Greek Testament
and the classics; 'fasted on Wednes-
day and Friday; received the Lord's
'Supper every 'week; and brought all
their life under review.. 'In 1730 Wil-
liam Morgan; an Irish' student, visit-
ed the gaol ate 'teeported that there
was a great -opening for work among
the prisoners. The friends agreed to
visit the Castle (Gaol of Oxford)
twice a week and look after the sick
in any parish where the clergyman
was willing to accept their help."
Leaves For America
John Wesley's father died in 1735
and late that year he and his brother
Charles left for America. General
Oglethorpe had planted a colony in
Georgia three years earlier and John
Wesley was engaged to go out. as
Church of England Missionary to the
Indians from the.. Society for the 'pro-
pagation of the Gospel. Charles went
as Secretary to the General and they
were accompanied by two of the Ox -
fond friends, Benjamin Ingham' and
Charles Delamotte.
In a letter written just before be
sailed he said: "My, chief motive is
the . hope of saving my own soul. I
cannot hope to attain the same de-
gree of tholiness here which I may
theme," •
On the ship was a company of 26
Moravians going with their bishop,
David Nitchrmann, to join some of
their own people in Georgia. The Wes-
ley group at first held themselves a-
part and spent their time in study
but the thabits of the simple Germans
attracted them and John Wesley soon
began to join in their public+ devo-
tions. Then he began to take up the
study of their language so that be
might be able to converse with therm,
and the found them admirable folk.
One day a, storm blew up and the
English passengers were :terrified,
but the Moravian were quite calm.
The next day Wesley asked one of
them if hie people ..were not afraid.
The answer surprised him for he was
told that .neither he nor his women
and ohildren were afraid to die. The
journey took three months and on
landing Wesley looked up the Mora-
vian pastor at Savannah, Mr. Span.
genberg, to ask his advisee about his
work.
Mission in Georgia
In his Life of John Wesley, C. T.
Winchester reviews the meeting of
the two missionaries:
"To his surprise, S'pangeneberg said:
'My brother, 1 must first ask you one
or two questions. Have you the wit-
ness within yourself? Does the Spir-
it of God bear witness with your spir-
it that you are a child of God?' •and
added as Wesley thesitated, 'Do you
know Jesus Christ?' ,•
"Unaccustomed to being catechised
after this fashion, Wesley could only
say, 'I know he,is the Saviour of the
world.' 'Friend;' replied Spangenberg,
'but do you know he dies caved you?'
and when Wesley 'replied, 'I hope be
died to save me; pushed the further
question, 'Do you know yourself?' 'I
do,' answered Wesley; but he adds,
in his account of the interview, 'I
fear they were vain words.'”
Wesley lodged for a few days with
the Moravians and during that time
he saw that their way of life was
similar to that of the first Christians
as they are pictured in the Bible. He
witnessed the conseeration of ,a new
bishop and he could not help contrast-
ing their simple service with the
oeremon'y to which he had been ac-
customed. He wrote that he was
"ready to forget the 1700 years be-
tween and imagine myself in one of
those assemblies where form and
state were not, but Paul the tent-
maker or Peter the fisherman presid-
ed; yet with the demonstration of
the Spirit and of power."
Wesley's "Collection of Psalms and
Hymns" was first publisti'ed in Char-
lestown. in 1737. The volume con-
tains five of his trans'iations from the
German. He himself considered that
the "first, rudlinents of the Methodist
' societies" were laid in Georgia In
April, 1736, he formed a little society
of thirty or forty of the serious mem-
bers of his congregation in. what he
called the second rise of Methodiem
—the first having meet at Oxford in
1729. They met on Wednesday even-
ings
venings "In order to a free conversation,
begun and ended with singing and
prayer." A select company meet at
the (parsonage ev 1ny Sunday after-
noon.

• On his journey 'home Wesley put
'down some severe •things• about him-
self.
imself. He had lots of time to think
during his tedious six weeks' voyage.
On the third of February,. 1738, he
was again in London and there he
met a young Moravian graduate of
Jena named Bohler who was going
as a. missionary to the Carolinas. He
was ten years younger than Wesley
but' during the time they were to-
gether Wesely listened to his teach
ings with the(humility of a disciple.
By Bohler, Wesley was made to.' be-
lieve that he lacked that "faith where-
by alone we are saved." "Preach
faith," said Bohier, "till you have it,
and, then, because you have it, you
will preach faith."
For three months Wesley followed
this advice. He did not consider for-
mal,worship proper except in church
but he could teach any -where. His
biographer, Winckiester, says of him:
"He went back to London; he went
to Manchester to see his old Oxford
friend Clayton; he went to Salisbury
to see hititanother, and to .Tiverton to
see his brother Samuel; 'he was call-
ed back to Oxford .by the illness of
his- brother Charles--anid on these
journeys, wherever he stopped, in
inn for dinner.or at night, with fel-
low -travellers on foot or horseback,
with people whom he met by the road-
side, be lost no opportunity of warn-
ing, exhorting, directing men where -
ever he found them."
On Many the ninth he wrote in his
Journal:; "I preached at Great St.
Helen's to a very numeerour • congre-
gation, On 'He that spared not his own
Son, but delivered him up- fir us ally
how shall he not with him freely give
us all things: My heart was • so en-
larged to declare the love or God to
'all that were oppressed by the devil,
that I did not wonder In the least,
when I was afterwards told, "Sir, you
must preach here no more."
On the twenty-fourth of May, 1733
—a Wednesday—he wrote the follow
Ing triumtp$hant passage:
"In the evening I went very un-
willingly to a society In Aldersgate
Street where. one Was reading Luth-
er's preface to the Epistle to the
Romans. About a quarter before nine
while he ,was describing the change
w hdeh God works in the heart through
faith in Christ, I felt my 'heart
strangely warmed. I felt.I did trust
In Christ, Ohrist alone for my, salva-
tion; and an assurance was given me
that he had taken, away my .sins, even
mine, and saved me from the law of
sin and death"
Referring to this incident, one
biographer writes:
It is scarcely an exaggeration to
say that the scenes which took place
at that humble meeting in A]'dersgate
Street forms an epoch in English his-
tory. The conviction which h then flash-
ed upon one of the :most powerful and
most active intellects in England is
the true source of English Method.
During the summer of that year
John Wesley • visited the Moravian
settlement at Herrnubh and camel
back to London in September with'
renewed faitb. He preached; wherev-
er opportunity offered but most of
the London pulpits were closed to
him. On New Year's Day, 1739, the
Westeys and some of their friends
had a Love Feast at Fetter Lane. One
of these friends, George Whitefield,
Went to Bristol in February and
preached to the colliers of Kingswood
in the open air. About six weeks lat-
er he wrote to John Wesley asking
him tocome and take up this work.
Wadley went with trepidation, writ-
ing at the time: "I could scarcely re-
concile mylself to this strange way of
prehang in the fields, having been
all.1My life (till very., lately) so tena-
cious of- every point relating to dec-
ency and order, that 'I should have
thought the saving of embi almost a

Wesley's Journal
-Wesley's Journal is one of the
most interesting &tctimients of his.
time. Aecordimg to his biographelr,
Mr. • Wincheester:
"He knows all sorts and conditions
of men; he 418 interested in all things
that go to make up the daily life 'of
,men. he examines a sdciety of col:
likrs in some grimy little Yorkshire
village, on the state of their souls,
and then he goes to `chis room and
writes a letteer to Lord Dartmouth or
Lord North of the state of the nation:
He knows this England; for .plain
people talk with him. They tell hili
not only of their religious doubts and.
fears and joys; they tell thine of. the
injustice of the ''squire and the are
totalize of the parson, of the drunk-
enness at the ,public house, of the
failure of the crops and the high price
of bread, of the burden of the taxes
and the unpopularity of the •minflstry,
"Boswell and Wiaipole will introduce
you to the literary and the fashion-
able
ashionable folk of that century; but if you
want to know that great, pusibing
English middle class, coarse .often al-
most to brutality, yet serious and in-
clined to be religious, the men who
really did the work and paid the
debts and fought the battles of Eng-
land—if yen want to know these, Wren,

There was none of the "better than
thou" attitude about John Wesley. In
one of his last addresses he urged a•
liberality of sentiment among his fol-
lowers, and spoke against refusing to
see the other's point of view. He said:
"17 they do but• fear God, worts right-
eousness, and keep the command -
meets, we have notlalhg to object to."
In the beginning of 1791 he was
making plane for a great tour of Eng-
land, though he was then 88. On the
20th of February he was too 'ill to

London. That same week he penned
his last letters—to William WiIber-
force, the anti -slavery champion. He
said: "Go on, in the name of God
and the power of'His might, till even
American slavery, the vilest that ev-
er saw the sun shall vanish from the
earth."
A few diays later his friend's knew.
the end was near. Charles' .widow
came to him and moistened has lips
with a little water and he repeated
the grace he had always said: "We
thank Thee, 0 Lord, for this and all
Thy mercies. Bless the Church and
King, and grant us truth and peace
through Jesus Christ our Lord."
He passed away about ten o'clock
in the morning of Wednesday, the
second of March, 1791, and was bur-
ied in a vault behind the City Road

SORROWING AT THE BANK

Retail Stores, subject to the caprices of style and
taste, frequently find it necessary to buy certain
goods which have caught the fancy of the shoppers,
despite the shelves and windows full of necessary,
staple supplies. Borrowing to meet present demand
for "specialties" is constructive borrowing, because it
servesto please and hold customers for the "staples,"
increasing profits.
Wholesale Houses, dependent upon retailers'
orders for popular goods, . often have to place in-
creased
ncreased orders with the manufacturer{ Borrowing to
pay for such immediately salable goods is "good

Manufacturers, called upon to increase their
