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.
