Wesley’s Love Story.
Discovery of a Strange Romance of Early Days
in Georgia.—Loved a Girl But Feared to, Wed.
Religious Scruples Wrecked Pretty Sophia
Canston’s Life.—Abided by the Bishops De-
cision.
In an old library of the South, where
letters and papers have been stored
away for two centuries, has been un-
earthed a strange story ; nothing more
nor less than the love life of John Wes-
ley, in George. Itis a strange history
of passion, of self-searchings, of the
tyranny of the early religious conscience
of sorrow and resolve. Wesley, the
preacher, the missionary, the founder of
a church, is the last man from whose
breast one would have expected to
wrench such a secret, and yet, when
all’s told, it presents his character in no
light new or unfamilar.
This is the tale. When James Ogle-
thorpe sailed westward to become Gov-
ernor of a colony peopled with convicts
and the flotsam and jetsam ot the Lon-
don workhouses, he took John Wesley
with him as a civilizing influence.
‘Wesley was then a young man of bril-
liant parts, a fellow of Lincoln College,
Oxford, on £300 a year; handsome,
pure and Quixotic. His brother,
was the Governor's Secretary.
The ship was delayed by storms and
the passengers were thrown upon their
own resources for entertainment. The
most interesting person on board, so far
as John Wesley was concerned, was
Miss Sophia Canston, niece of one of the
fortune hunters whom Oglethorpe had
induced to follow him to the New
World. This was not only because
young women were few on board the
colonial vessel, but because this young
woman was extremely attractive.
BEAUTIFUL AND ACCOMPLISHED.
She was beautiful. She was highly
educated. She sang with a voice that
fascinated him. And, most potent of
all, she listened with flattering interest
to his preaching. The two became
friends. She sang Charles Wesley's
psalms with him, and listened to all he
nad to say about experimental religion.
Governor Oglethrope was well pleased
with the turn aftairs were taking, and
used every means to throw the young
people together.
By the time Georgia was reached, the
boat bad Shipped an extra passenger
with wings and a bow and arrow.
‘When the settlers landed, the usual oc-
cupations of newiy-arrived colonists
seemed to have put an end to Wesley's
lovemaking. Oglethorpe went on to
the site of Fredrica, accompanied by
Charles Wesley, and Delamotte, his in-
separable companion. The rest of the
English set about raising tents or bark-
covered huts along the square and streets
of Savannah. John Wesley went with
some of the Germans, because he had
begun the study of their language on
board ship, and desired to pursue that
study. Amd the noise of the rice birds
the fort at Savannah was raised and
Wesley built his parsonage and school-
house.
Mr. Cranston, Sophia's uncle, was
made chief magistrate, and store-keeper,
and his niece made herself quite charm-
ing as Wesley's pupil in French, and an
earnest seeker after the exquisite pleas-
ures of experimental holiness.
THE RECOGNIZED BELLE.
Sophia was the official belle of the
place. She and John Wesley were the
most conspicuous figures in society and
were consequently thrown together
very frequently. Governor Oglethorpe
looked upon the affair as settled, and so
did the people of the colony. Ogle-
thrope wished to see it settled, because
he wished to keep Wesley at Savannah,
instead of letting the young missionary
wander off as had been his original in-
tention to preach to the Indians. Wes-
ley and Delamotte taught school,
preached and held love feasts, and in the
evening sang psalms. Mr. Delamotte
taught about 40 children to “read, write
and cast sccounts.”’” Before school in
the morning and after school in the ev-
ening Mr. Wesley catechized the “low-
er class’ of children, and endeavored to
fix something of his own spirit into
their minds as well as their memories.
At night, when the candles burned
and their work was done, and the still
woods about them gave back no echo to
their voices Mr. Wesley had the women
and young men meet at the church for a
a severer catechism of their Bibles. The
few hours left from this teaching he
spent parily in studying German with
Bishop Nitschma, teaching Greek to
Mr. Delamotte, helping Charles Wesley
with his sermons and reading French
with Sophia Canston. There are pretty
word pictures in these old letters of the
two young people sitting together under
the trees in the public park, or walking
together to the love feasts in the even-
ing. One can see the tall, lithe figure
of Wesley, priest-robed, classic-faced,
thrilled with a first, strange, human
love.
DIDN'T REALIZE THE SITUATION.
But he was the very last person to
see himself in the situation. He kept
himself quite busy, built a parsonage,
in which he lived in the stern, pleasure-
less, methodical way which afterward
gave a name to his religion ; and he
rendered up the account of his meagre
expenses to the honorable trustees of
Georgia. He visited Fredrica often to
preach to the settlers there. He studied
the Indian language, stillin hopes of
going among them At times he slept
upon the ground, and when morning
came discovered his clothes to have been
frozen to the earth, as well as his long
abundant hair. Once he was nearly
drowned in the icy river, but these were
the ordinary experiences of early mis-
sionaries.
But now came the crisis of the human
side of the story. Oglethorpe determin.
ed to hasten matters between Wesley
and Miss Canston. Accordingly he
made a dinner at his own house, and
Crimeldi, his foreign servant, tampered
with the Cypress wine, but whether by
the General's direction or not was never
quite clear to Mr. Wesley.
In the evening Sophia Canston was
there, und the General had her sing for
them some old love songs of England
and Scotland, and snatches from the
operas of Londan. She danced, too,
and recited, and completely overwhelm-
ed the pious youth with her beauty and
accomplishments.
DISCOVERED HE WAS IN LOVE.
That night, under the palmetto trees
near the Governor's house, with the
dark-eyed, handsome girl beside him
and with ber entrancing voice in his
ears ; with the Cypress wine and Gri-
maldi’s decoction hot in his blood, John
Wesley became aware that he loved
her.
The revelation was a shock to him, for
be had been preaching celibacy since he
was a small boy. He had felt himself
wedded to the church, to his great faith
and mission in life. The strife of spirit
threw him into a fever.
Miss Canston did the only thing that
a young lady in her state of mind could
do. She nursed him, and he allowed
her to. This circumstance was sufficient
proof to their friends that marriage was
certain. If more proof were needed, he
raved of ber in his delirium. Miss Can-
ston brought her aunt to hear him, and
between them they fancied him quite de-
cided to marry Sophia. He asked her
many times if she would or could marry
him, “and if he should, indeed, marry
her.” He went through with the mar-
riage ceremony of the Church of Eng-
land for the benfit of imaginary cou-
ples who stood at his bedside.
After his recovery Wesley’s friends
came to congratulate him on his en-
gagement, But ever since his miracu-
lous rescue from fire to his childhood he
had been convinced that he had been
singled out by his Maker for some spe-
cial purpose, and now here he was pros-
trating himself before an earthly idol
and forgetting his mission.
TOOK THE BISHOP'S ADVICE.
Alarmed for his soul he rushed to
the Bishop and the Moravin mission-
aries for advice. They had the same
hard, unrelenting convictions which
tormented Wesley, and they advised him
to give up his idol and turn to his God.
Wesley knew not what to ‘do. He
wandered in the forests praying aloud
for light as to his walk before God. He
knelt under the blooming grape vines,
and shielded by the long gray moss
from any living eye, sought wisdom and
comfort.
That night he asked advice a second
time of the elder.
‘We have considered your case,” said
the Bishop. “Will you abide by our
decision ?”’
Then the Bishop said : “We advise
you to proceed no further in this mat-
ter.”
“So be it!” said Wesley, and that
was the end. Poor Sophia was heart-
broken. Her relatives were incensed
and compelled ber to marry a Mr Wil-
liamson, though she begged Wesley to
intercede in her behalf. Even after she
married she wrote to Wesley, and cast
pitiful glances at him until in bis des-
peration one day he forebade her to at-
tend Holy Communion. He explained
this afterwards on technial grounds, but
the tide had turned and the people of
Georgia were against him.
CHARGED WITH SLANDER.
A charge of slander was instituted,
but the assailants, knowing that they
had small chance of success, delayed the
trial from week to week until life in
Georgia became unbearable. He made
arragements to leave the colony. But
even in this the Canstons thwarted him.
He was forbidden to leave the pro-
vince.
He never went. out that Sophia did
not pass and repass him several times,
and often she was known to look in up-
on him when he was at prayer in his
own house.
During all these trials he continued
to conduct his parish as usual, although
he was a sort of prisoner at large. At
6 o'clock one evening, the little flock
gathered in the church for prayers.
Wesley led as usual. Delamotte was
there with the friends who still remain-
ed loyal. After the service Wesley
was seen to return to his home. Bat
the faithful Delamotte had planned an
escape from bis slow .orture. Three
faithful friends led the young clerical
through the darkness to the pier. Their
an Indian skift bore him down the
river. A sailing vessel was in waiting
and soon John Wesley was leaving the
land of his love forever.

Paints.
AINT CRACKS.—It often costs
more to prepare a house for repaint-
ing that has been painted in the first place
with cheap ready-mixed paints, than it would
to have painted it twice with strictly pure
“White lead, ground in pure linseed oil.
STRICTLY PURE
WHITE LEAD
forms a permanent base for
repainting and never has tobe
burned or scraped off on ac-
count of scaling or cracking.
It is always smooth and clean.
To be sure of getting strictly
pure white lead, purchase any
of the following brands:
“ARMSTRONG & McKELVY,”
“BEYMER-BAUMAN,”
“DAVIS CHAMBERS,”
“FAHNESTOCK.”
For Corors.—Mational Lead Co.'s
