LITTER COSTS $10
PER FAMILY
Litterbugs are an expensive on
the family budget.
Keep America Beautiful, Inc., es-
timates that $10 of the state and
local tax money paid yearly by the
average American family is used
to pick up litter from streets, high-
ways, beaches and parks.
The total national litter clean-
up bill runs around $500 million an-
nualy, and that does not include
the cost of removing litter from
private property nor the loss from
litter-induced fires and accidents,
according to Allen M. Seed Jr,
| KAB’S executive vice president.
“These are tax expenditures that
taxpayers themselves can elimin-
ate,” he said. “The answer is simple.
Just don’t litter.”

Methodism
Since Methodism in the United
States celebrates its 200th anniver-
sary this month the Bradford-Sul-
livan-Wyoming County Library
has compiled a few facts of interest
about early Methodism in North-
eastern Pennsylvania.
In the early days of Methodism
in this section ministers were re-
quired to have strong hearts and
vigorous bodies. The ministry of
that time was not a calling with a
long career. The rigors of circuit
riding and contemporary diseases
such as tuberculosis took high toll.
Due to a paucity of parsonages the
“traveling” preachers were always
on ‘the move. The possibility of
maintaining a family and a home
were slight. The poverty of the
settlers made it impossible for them
to provide parsonages or to provide
sufficient support for married men. |
| When circuit riders married they
| found it necessary to take a ‘lo-
cation” and entered into secular
life, thus the turn-over in the min-
istry was very high.
The life of a circuit rider at-
tracted men because of the heroic
challenge of its itinerancy. If it had
not been for the high rate of re-
cruitment Methodism would have
burned itself out in a short time.
One of the most remarkable of
the circuit riders was Francis As-
bury, credited with being the build-
er of American Methodism. His
greatest contribution was hig in-
sistence upon the principle of itin-
erancy, which he learned from John
Wesley.
In his Journal Asbury revealed
he had been in America only three
weeks when he discovered that,
preachers preferred city living. As- |
bury wanted circulatory preachers
and under his rule they rode up and!
down the country east of the Mis- |
sissippi and continued everywhere
| until “Methodist Circuit Rider” be- |
' came a part of the American vocab- placable, anyone wishing to u se|

ulary. Thus they were able to keep
up with America’s ever-advancing
frontier.
The Methodist Church’s member-
ship grew from 1,000 to 200,000 in
Bishop Asbury’s lifetime. For nearly
50 years Bishop Asbury traveled
for a total of more than a quarter
million miles. He is considered to
be one of the greatest explorers of
the American Frontier. He was
more widely traveled than any
other man of his generation and
was known by more people.
Recently the Burlington Charge
iw.8 C3 gave to the Tri-County
Library the letters and journals of
Francis Asbury in honor of the Rev.
and Mrs. Jasper Smith. These are
available at the library to anyone
wishing to study them.
Another recent acquisition at the
library ‘is “Heroism and Romance”
by Louis D. Palmer, and this was
given to the library by Mehoopany
W. S. C. S. Mr. Palmer tells of
William Colbert on the Wyoming
and Tioga Point Circuit. It usually
| took Colbert two weeks to make the
rounds, during which he preached
both by day and by night as the
opportunity ‘arose. Zigzagging back
and forth across the Susquehanna.
Colbert tells of visiting Gideon Bald-
win at Wyalusing, Guy Wels about

Camptown, Birney's at Standing
Stone. Elijah Townsends near Wy-
sox, Nathan Brown at New She-

he had visited since leaving North-

often to stay at the home of a Mr.
Foster who lived on Sugar Creek |
in North Towanda. He also visited
Samuel Cole in Macedonia whose
holdings at that time reached from
the Susquehanna to the mountains
on the west.
