MRS, BOWKER'S INTERESTING HISTORICAL SURVEY.


the lormor income it has been necessary each 3’oar to pi-omote an effort of a fairly ambitious nature and on Saturday a Christ- juas Fayre was held at the school. A pre­ liminary meeting was held in June and preparations have been progressing ever since. All sections of the congregation willingly proffered their help, with the result th a t the event was extremely suc- ee-sl'ul from every point of view. At the close of the proceedings on Saturday, the Jlev. 11. Hooper announced tliat the gro-ss takings amounted to i,‘110, and as the cx- lienses are not very largo, there was a general feeling of satisfaction.

The First Chapel.


(lays, few people could read or write and the ignorance of tho people was such that it became difficult to teach or preach tlie gospel to them. Only the wealthy classes were able to afford to go to the costly public scliool, and as a re.^^ult the majority of people were illiterate, so th a t in oriler to teach the gospel elfectively it became tho first duty of the new movement to educate its people. Tliis could only he done on the Sabbath at first because, as soon as the children were old enough to do anything a t all. they were su it to work. Sunday schools iia*d to begin with the alphabet class. Even the teachers themselves knew little moro than tlie alphabet so that they had to become solf-cducators with the help of the few hooks available. At tliat time the circuit, as it was called, would have a radius of .30 to 50 miles, and a preaclicr travelling on hors(jhack visited it once or iwic(j a (|uarter. As years went by. tho memijer.ship was such that a new chapel was needed and the old school was built in 1707 as a new cliapol, and it contained a gallery. At that time there were no vestries on the left and the space iio'v occupied by tlie vestries on the right was the prcnclier’s rosidence. Later, vestries were made and a house purchased in the centre of Fi(?ld- ing's Villas, in Kshton-tcrrace. this being used until the early years of this century when a new manse was built in Waddington- road.

Chnrlos Wesley, horn in the early days of the ISth eeiitury. both graduates of an Knglish I’niversity, gave England what she wa.s very much in need of at the time—a great awakening,” Mrs. llowker said. “ Charles We.sley, one of the most famous hymn composers, wrote out the Methodist theology in ver.se and some preachers will still go' to the (jr.st hymn book, ‘ Wesley’s Jlvinns,’ when in search of truth. John Wesley suffered much for the upholding of his faith and endured much persecution while proclaiming his message. To-day we live in what might fittingly be called the speed age, when travel by road, sea or air j- swift. This fact enables us to iniagino wliat i t meant for John Wesley in his day to travel on horseback some 2o0,(W0 miles witii Ids message. With his writings and
