Tho revelation wns a shock to him, for ho had been proachingcolibaoy since ho n a small boy. He had felt him self wedded to tho chnro.li, to hln nre.it faith and mission in lifo. Tlio strife of spirit threw him into n fever. Miss Canston did the only thlnn that a young lady in her stato of miud conltl do. Bhe nursed him, and he allowed her to. This circiiinstaneo was rufflcicn proof to their friend that mnrri.ie va.' cortain. If inoro proof was needed, hi raved of her in his delirium. Miss Can ston brought her aunt to lienr him, ani betwei'U then they fancied him ir.:ii, 'derided to jiinrrr Sophia. ITo tv-U":l hi ' many times if slio would or could mai n him, "imd it' ho hIiuuM indeed luuujr her. " Ho went through with tlio mar riapto ceremony of tho Church of F,njj land, for tho benefit of imaginary cuu pies who stood ot his bedsido.

Alarmed for his soul, ho rushed to tho bishop mid tho Moravian iui.ion nries for ndvico. They had tho samo hard.unrelonting convintions which tor mented Wesley, and they advised him to Bivo up his idol and turn to liia God. Wesley know not what to do. Ho wan dnred in the forosts praying aloud for light as to his walk boforo God. Ho knolt under tho blooming grnpo vinos, and shielded by tho long, gray moss from any living eye sought wisdom and comfort. That night ho nskod advico a sooond timo of tho oldor. "We havo considered yonrcaso, " Raid tho bishop. "Will yon abide by our do cision?" "I will nbido by yonr dooision. " Then tho bishop said, "Wo advise yon to proocod no further in this mat tor." "So be it!" said Wesloy, and that was tho end. Poor Sophia was heartbroken. Her relatives were incensed and compelled her to marry a Mr. Williamson, though sho begged Wosley to intoroede in her bohalf. Even after Rhe was married sho wrote to Wesley and oast pitiful glances at him until in his dosperation one day he forbado hor to attend holy oomraun ion. He explained this afternoon on teohuical grounds, but the tide had turnod and the people of Georgia were against him. A charge of slander was instituted, but the assailants, knowing that they had small ohauoo of snoooss, dolayed the trial from wcok to week until life in Georgia beoamo unbearable. Be made arrangements to leave the col ony. But even in this tho Canstons thwarted him. He was forbiddon to leavo tho province. Ho novnr went out thnt Sophia did sot pass and repass him several times, and often sho was known to look in upon him whon ho was at prayer in his own house. During all thoso trials he continued to conduct his parish as usual, although he was a sort of prisoner at largo. At 0 o'olock ono evening tho littlo flock gathered in tho church for prayers. Wesley led as usual, Dolumotte was . there with the friends who still re i maincd loyal. After tho sorvice Wes I ley was seen to return to his homo. But the faithful Dulamotte had planned an ..esoapo from this alow torture. Three faithful frionds led the young olorioal , .through the darkness to the pier.

Bhe must thereforeihave been at least SO at the time of ber.mnrriage. Some biographers have taken .the ground that the "smart" young woman of 20 entrapped the boy of 18 into nthis match, whioh, from a worldly point .of view, was so impru dent, but I Xuuey that the boy himself would have disdained to urge any auoh excuse for hhj.ocaduot Track .of JEftlnot Ulrdn.

To appreciate it you must do more than view it from an outsider's stand point. You must tako part in it,livo in it, nml for tho time being forget that yon over wero anything but a continued and hardened boulovardier.
