WESLEY’S FIRST LOVE.
KAtI.CKK TO WKIi MISS SOPHIA'
CIIUtSTTXA HOPKKY DROVE
HIM FROM GEORGIA.
“Cherchez la femme, ’’ says
11lie Frenchman. In almost
every stream there is a point]
where a human hand might
turn its current, and at that
point in human .'ivfs woman,
as a rule, presides. The found
er <d' Methodism is an eminent
instance at point.
The biographers id' Wesley
have not shirked the painful
episode which drove him out of
Georgia. They have, on the
j contrary, taken much pains to
j find out and publish all the
1 facts.
Wesley landed ituGeorgia on
) February 5, liiiii, and seems to
have at one*'become acquainted
! with a young lady of good sense
and elegant in person and nian
j tiers, of the name of Sophia
j Christina Hopkey. She was
the neiee of the wife of Thomas
iCauston, who was flu* “chief
' inugist rate.’’ and w ho was after
| forwards turnel out of all his
[ offices for grossly abusing his
! power as keeper of the public
to settle on the land that the
trustees had alloted to them.
The best that can be said about
him is that he was a respectable
rascal.
Miss Hopkey was introduced
to Wesley as a sincere inquirer
after salvalioji. She was assid
uous in her attendance at
church, took every opportunity
to be in Weshyv’s company and
asked him to assist her in study
ing French. Oglethorpe, the
governor, did his best to help
the courtship, which fact goes
to prove that she was deemed
worthy of being the helpmeet
of Weshy by one whose judg
ment was law to the colony.
Siam after Wesley was pros
trated with fever for about a
week and the young lady at
tended him night and day and
would hardly allow Delnmotte,
Wesley’s friend, to do anything
for him. At this time she con
sulted Oglethorpe as to what
kind of female dress Wesley
liked the best, for ho held fixed
opinions on the mutter. The
result of the consultation was
that she came to Wesley’* lodg
ings always neatly and simply
dressed in white.
Young Delttlllotte now begun
to be suspicious and asked
Wa-ley if he meant t>< marry
Miss Hopley. The question puz
zled Wesley. He saw that Del
amotte was prejudiced against
the lady and waived an answer.
With almost silly simplicity
Wesley at last resolved to suit
id it the matter to the elders of
the Moravian church. When
ho entered the house where
they were met together he found
Delamotte among them. Nitseh
maun, the Moravian bishop,
said:
*’We have considered your
case; will you abide by our de
cision ?”
After some hesitation Wesley
replied, .
“1 will.”
‘•Then," said Nitschinann,
“wo advise yon to proceed no
furl her in t lie matter. ”
Wesley answered:
“The will of the Lord be
done! ”
Wesley was. undoubtedly in
love, and, like all lovers, did
s«tine foolish things. His eon
duct before and after the de
cision of the Moravian elders
was given, should he viewed in
1 connection with Wesley’s views
iof the relation that should e -
* ist between pastor and peopl *.

Miss Ilopkoy was put under
the care of this strict, young,
ascetic pnVson. She was one of
his early morning congregation,
and constantly went to his
lodgings in order to b« furl In r
instruened. He fell in love
with her, and there can tie lii
tie doubt that he made pro
posals to marry "her, and, if his
own incliiiations were carried
out, the marriage would have
taken place. 'These are snm*
extracts from his nupiiblishe I
dairy:

Ho also wrote to lus brother

These words were prophetic
Years after this Wcslev mu
tied, but his married tile wa
notoriously unhappy. Tie
course of his early love did ie i
run smooth, tail the course o
his wedded life was a cordtire
road all the way.
Wesley continued to pay pa
(oral attentions to Mrs Wil
liainson, at w hich her somew hat
slow-witted husband took 11 in
tirage, and forbade his wife to
attend church or speak again b
Wesley. It must be borne in
mind that Wesley's insisting
upon frequent communion had
antagonized many husband
and employers ot labor, became
some were led to neglect t licit
work. Mrs. Mjilliunisnii. how
ever, presented herself again a
communion, and Wesley tun!,
iMvasion to reproach soinetl i >g.
in her recent Uhavior Tin
made her extremely angry, anil
three days later, Causton, ae
oompanied by the hailin' un.l
the recorder, came to dennitid
an explanation, Wesley guv*
his visitors to iindcrstund'thal,
in the execution of his oflici
and acting without respect of
persons, lie might tlqd i nece
snry to expel one of Cilll-f ll’s
family from the holy commun
ion. He further told the ‘chief
magistrate’ what the people of
Savannah were saying against
his magisterial proceedings. All
this made the coming storm
more threatening.
Five mouths alter her mar-
riage Weslev refused to allow
Mrs. Williamson toJ join the
Lord's supper. The next day
Mr. Recorder issued a warrant
for t lie apprehension of "John
W esley. Clerk,” and command
ed the constables and tithing*
men to bring him before one of
the bailiffs of Savannah to an
swer the complaint of William
Williamson for defaming his
wife and refusing to administer
to her the sacrament of the
Lord’s supper, in a public con
gregation, without cause, by
which the said William Wil
liamson was damaged I,(XM>
pounds sterling.
Wesley was arrested and car
ried before Mr. Rail iff Darker
and Mr. Recorder Christie. Ho
repudiated the power of the
court to interrogate him about
his ecclesiastical duties, 'flu*
baililV told him that* he must
appear at the next Savannah
court. Williamson demanded
bail, but Wesley's word was
suflicient for t lie court.
Causton now began to read
extracts from Wesley’s corres
pondence with himself mid Miss
Sophy, to the disadvantage of
Wesley, and took other meas
ures to prejudice the minds of
the men who were to form the
grand jury at the Savannah
court. The grand jury num
bered forty-four, a fifth part of
the male population. A list of
‘grievances" was drawn up tq
show that Wesley had deviated!
from ‘ the principles and regu
lations of England." A ma
jority of the jury found ten in
dictments. A minority of 12
drew up a report "to the hon
orable the trustees of Georgia,"
in which all the facts in the in
flict incuts, with two exceptions,
vere admitted, but that the
jifosecution was inspired by the
malice of Causton and others.
Wesley again said that the
court had no power to trv him
on nine out of ten idictmonts,
and as to the tenth—his rela
tion- with Mrs. Williamson—he
demanded there and then to lie
tried. Rut the court decided
to postpone the trial' to 'the
ie*xt setting, and so it was post
poned from one sitting to an
othef until Wesley at last inti
mated his intention to leave the
colony for England. This cre
ated a great commotion. Wil
liamson advertised that he had
brought a charge for l,o<>O
pounds damages against Wesley
and that if anyone assisted his
• ■scape from the colony he would
lie visited with tie* utmost rigor
>f the law. The magistrate
cautioned Wegley not to leave
tie* colony, and ofileers were
commanded to proviut his de
nari tire. Wesley was i.ow a
prisoner at large w ith no expec
tation of having his ease tried
soon. One evening after public
prayer, he set out in a boat for
Purrysburg, a distance of about
twenty miles, and thus left Sa
vannah and Georgia forever.
After landing in F.uglund he
visited Ogh-thrope, in London,
and waited upon the Georgian
trustees, gave them a written
account why he had left the
eolohy, and returned to them
the instrument whereby they
had appointed him minister of
Savanah.
r eel ess questions might he
asked as to what might have
happened hud this love affair ot
Wesley prospered. There re
mains one other fact to he men
tioned. Dr. Dixon says; “It
is a remarkable fact that
though Suva nail is the chief
city of Georgia, Methodism has
never been as strong in it as in
ot her cities in < leorgiu.

MKKTS A CON TENTED ml'l»|.E FROM j
GWINNETT.
From a letter written to the
Constitution by Sarge Plunket I
we clip the follow ing incident:
The only satisfied folks that
I have had the pleasure of see
ing for over a year I saw yester- j
' day. They were from the up
per edge of Gwinnett county
and were paying Atlanta a visit'
for the fust time in their liveß.
They drove a small mountain
mule to a little one-horse wngon
and had led a fat young steer
behind which they proposed to
sell for beef in the city. All
went well on (lie trip and when
they arrived to where they could
look upon the dome of theenpi
tol and view the gree.t blocks of
Luildinoa mid chimneys they
were struck with feelings they
never Imd before. Slowly they
moved toward the great pano
rama lost in wonder at the view
till they had crossed the rail
road tracks at the end of Deca
tur street and were just climb
ing up the little hill to where
the electric ca r s stop and turn
back. The folks had never seen
an electric car. and but precious
few steam cars, the steer bad
never been out of the woods be
t fore and it was the first times
the mule's feet had ever touch
ed belgiun blocks or heard the
wagons rumble over them. But
; cars care nothing for people
from Gwinnatt, much less for a
steer and a little old mule from |
Gwinnett, and here came the
electric car shooting right to
ward them. The mule got
scaled, the stesr got scared, tin
old man got scared and the old
woman got frantic. It was the
worst scramble seen in Atlanta
since the war, I guess, to get
turned around and run back to
ward home. About the time
they did get turned here rumen
freight down the Georgia rood
and just then another lung train
: came up tho Richmond and
Danville track. They were
hemmed, nnd what to do or
what would have been done it is
hard to tell if it had not
been for the help that rushed
out to the scone. A kind police
man cut the rope that held the
steer and which had 1 ifed the
little wagon all to one side,
others grabbed the little mule
and let him bellow, while still
others struggled with the old
people to keep them from run
ning through the big gluss win
j d'*W s.
it was mighty easy for the
old man to agree to give up the
steer for damages, und then le
gate his apples to those who
would gather them up and help
him buck over the railroad
tracks. Once hack over the
railreud with his mule's In-ad
set for Gwinnett county, they
looked hack ever their shoulders
and then whipped up the mule
w ith a feeling of relief they had
never felt before.
They fed under a tree at De
catur and I had a pleasant talk
with them. It was pleasant,
Ireyuuse the old people were per
fectly happy.
"Lawiencevillc is big enough
for me,” said the old man.
“Aud I never want to see uu

A WRECKED LIFE.
Some time ago a man about
fifty years of age left his broth
er's house alone and apparent
ly empty handed, and did not
come back. From a letter r«-1
ceived soon after, and from his
well known discouraged state
of mind, his going was sadly in
terpreted by friends, and they
feard tin* worst, it was one ot
those ‘mysterious dissuppenr
ances,' the readiest explanation
of which is despair and suicide.
The man was a skilled artisan,
and an inventor whose patent-
ed devices had again and again
brought profit to his employers;
I but his mental working power
was gone, and his hand had 10-d
its cunning. Strmg drink,
that years ago made him its
i slave, had left him useless when
hardly past his prime With a
lady, one of his neighbors, he
conversed freely a little while]
before his disappearance, and I
this is the substance of what he j
said;
“I wish the young could real
ize how many useful tilings the
world is wuiting for. and could
be taught to look for them. In
an age of progress like this the
most successful workers are
those who find new and better
ways. Encourage every sign
of young ingenuity. Tell a boy
that any talent to think and do
will bless the world, it it does
not make hisgortune. A lucky
thought is a prize everywhere
It is a God-given gift. So is
the brain that originates it.
Tell him that.
“And tell him to leave stim
ulants and narcoties alone, and
save his brain. I blame nobody
but myself that I did not mind
this caution when I was young;
though it seems strange that
| nobody ever warned me.
“At nineteen I was on the
high road to success, and my
-kill was in quick demand; but
I fell into fast company, unit
drunk—drank til it became s
habit to drink. I never shook
otl'the curse till it ruined my
faculties L< ok ut the wreck
it has made of me. It is too
late now. 1 cannot think to a
point, und my hand cannot
make a perfect draft.”
The unfortunate man had
never expressed himself so free
ly before. He may never be
le-urd from ugaiu. Life—as it
seemed to bis des|»erato mood—
had ceased to be worth living,
lb- was a frequent amt eager
reader of the Companion, and
felt an interest in tho welfare
of the youthful world it fills.
His lust words of warning
seem fitly placed in those pages;
uid every such example repeats
once more to the youth of the
land, ‘ Your faculties are God
given gifts. Conquer tempta
tion, and keep them whole.’’—

AN IWJIEEDED MOTTO.
Il a queer how some people
w ill argue smd argue and put
all their domestic peace to
flight disputting about the nter
"st trifle,” said Mr. .fawner to
his wife one evening, aecordiiii
to the Detroit Free Press. “J
was over to Tom Dawson’s (he
j other day, and he and his wife
got into a regular quarrel over
i whether souk* little trilling
event loin had been talking
about occurred on Tuesday or
Wednesday. It wasn’t of the
slightest consequence which day
it occurred.
“'Tell, I suppose that Mrs.
Daws in felt that she was right
about the day it occurred,”
said Mrs. Jaw tier.
"ell, what il she was?’said
•lawner, a trifle sharply. "It
didn’t make a straw’s difference
"|| '!i t it occurred on Tuesday
or .Saturday.'
“Why did Dawson nrgue
about the matter, then?’
"Well, why did his silly wife
make herself ridiculous disput
ing about it ?’
“She wasn’t any sillier than
he was.’
“She was. too.’
I d like to know how you
make t hat out ?’
'Decause she began the argu
ment.’
11 1 at was no reason why
Dawson should keep it up. If
V; d been a gentleman he— ’
"He was as much of a gentle
man as she was a lady. It was
very laid manners for her to
break into his conversation as
she did.’
“It was worse manners fur
him to quarrel with her before
a third party. Why didn't he
pass it over liy saving lightly:
\ery well, my dear, perhaps H
was Tuesday.’ ”
