ALDERSGATE COMMEMORATION
A party of Jacksonians drove
down to Savannah last week to at
tend the inauguration of this com-
memoration. Among those present
were Rev. A. E. Barton, Mr. Avon
Gaston, Mrs. Ada Miller, Mrs. Nellie
Hamilton, and Mi's. David Settle
with her mother, Mrs. Newton, as
also her aunt.
This commemoration is to cul
minate on May 24th of this year,
memorializing John Wesley’s experi
ence of the “warm heart.” As he
had his “heart strangely warmed”
while attending worship in a little
chapel in Aldersgate Street of Lon
don, it is called his Aldersgate ex
perience.
It is now two hundred years since
John Wesley came to Savannah to
convert the Indians, and so Savannah
was chosen for the inauguration. Sav
ing Bishops Candler and Boaz, all
the southern Bishops were there,
even fine old Scholarly Bishop Den
ny, who they say is still bitterly
barking against the forthcoming re
union of the northern and southern
churches.
Pilgrimages were made, and out
door services held, on Tybee Island,
where Wesley landed and remained
for three weeks before going up to
Savannah; to Bethesday Orphanage,
where Wesley’s preaching partner,
George Whitefield, founded the first
benevolence of its kind in America;
and to th Wesley Oak on St. Simon’s
Island and old fort Frederica built
by Gen. Oglethorpe.
The purpose of all this celebration
is to re-enact and re-live the feeling
of “the warm heart.” There is no
new program set up. No collection
is to be taken; that was all done last
year. This is purely a spiritual com
memoration, and is up to be sung
about, prayed for, and meditated up
on, through all the weeks between
now and next May 24th.
