Tn recounting the ministry of
John Wesly in Georgia, where
the famous preacher sowed the
first seed of Methodism in
America, Rev. W. .1. Scott, !).
D., in the June Ladies Home
Journal, claims that Wesly es
tablished- the first Sunday
whool in the world, at Savan
nah. In connection with his
other labor, whice were indeed
prodigious, Wesley soon after
his arrival in Georgia, in 178 ft,
began to proide for the Sunday
school’ instruction of the chil
*« nos the parish. Ilis devo
tion to children at times almost
amounted to infatuation. Chil
dren were likewise equally at
tached to him, as shown in
their intercourse with him.
Both on week-days and Sab
baths he gave no litlle atten
tion to educational work. As
a preliminaryjlabor on the Sab
bath before the evening service,
he required them to convene In
the church, at which time he
eatecliisxt them thoroughly am
and furnished them with addit:
onal teaching from the Bible it
self* •;
“In the present Weslevai
Memorial Church, in Savannah
there is a Sunday school roon
into which hundreds of cliildrei
crowd for Sunday instructions
The original school was less ii
number, but. it was unqueation
ably the first Sundas-school ii
the world When taught b\
Wesley it numbered betweei
sixty and scventp-tlve scholar?,
but from all accounts there
were few: if any, Indian boys in
his earlier classes. A very high
authority, Sir Charles Reed, M.
P., LL. I),, of England’ is cleat
ly of the opinion that this Sun
day school was the first found
ed in the wyrld, and that ante
dates by a half century the sec
ubir instruction of Robert
Kaikes at Gloucester, England,
as well as the first school ii
America upon Raikes’ plan,
which’ was established in tin
city of New York. ”

looked very inviting from its

“What did he do that for?’ I

“Yes; but you see, mister,

“What of that? If it’s a

be to its advantage.”

A certain minister always fell
it to be his duty to give each
young couple a little serious ad
j vice before he performed the
I marriage ceremony, and for this
purpose he usually took them
aside, one at a time, and talked
very soberly to each of them re
garding the great importante of
the step they were to take, and
the new responsibilities they
were to assume. One day he
talked in his most earnest man
ner for Severn’, minutes to »
young woman who hu I come to
be married to a bright looking
young man.
“And now,’’ he said in clos
ing. “I hope you will fully
realize the extreme importance
of the step you are tukiug and
; that you are prepared for it.”
“Prepared,” she said iimc

got four common quilts and
two nice ones, and four brand
