The installation of the newly elected

an Interesting ceremony. and was fol-

We celebrate today the fourteenth

4 Mr. Duncan delivered the charge. to
. the newly Installed officers. it was as
fol 'oivs:
i At this ii.iic uncii We are thinking
so much about the life and character
.i‘ John Wesley .i is fitting that l
i charge you as newly elected officers of
,ihc Epworth League. Willi the Words
'iind thoughts concerning this many-
sidcd man.
As president you can scarcely find a
more Inspiring and helpful example.
You will be called upon to exercise a
-gcncral oversight and bear a general
responsibility. Wesley was a model
overseer. and he knew how to bear
the heaviest responsibility without her
lug Injured by its weight. When he
was seventy-seven years old he wrote
“i do not remember to have felt low-
mess of spirits for one quarter of an
hour since i was born." He combined
well the ability to command and the
readiness to receive counsel which are
so essential to the efficiency of a chief
officer. One of the members of the
Holy Club. speaks of him as follows:
"Mr. John Wesley was always the chief
manager for which he was very fit.
What proposals he made to any were
sure to charm them because they saw
him always-the same. What support-
cd this uniform vigor was the care he
took to consider well of every affair be-
fore he cngaged In It, making all his
decisions in the fear of God. without
passion. humour or self confidence. He
never assumed anything to himself
above his companions Any of them
might speak their mind anti their
words were as strictly regarded by him
as his were by them."
As first vice-president and head of
the Spiritual Work Department. the
whole life work of Wesley as evangel-
lst. preacher and organizer of spiritual
societies is full of Instruction and on.
‘couragcmcnt. Though so eminently
and exceptionally used of God in lead-
ing monand women into devoted ser-
yloe for Jesus Christ. he still was
marked by discouragements common to
us. Writing concerning his visit to
.Epwarth. where he preached from his
father's tombstone and , multitudes
were converted. he says: , "0h let none
think that his labor of love is lost -
cause the fruit does not lmmedia ly
appear. Near forty years did my la-
.thet labor am. but he mums fruit
of his labor. 1 took some pita- among
the, people too. and my strength also
seemed spent in vain. But now the
fruit natured." ' ‘

which he began at once to lay out on
clothes and shoes. Sometimes he was
overwhelmed with the distress with
which he had to cope, 0n the last
lay of 1772 the great oziiabrrassmcut
caused by the necessities of the Deon;
drove him iind his officers to specinli
prayer. On one intrusion when a clam-l
iring crowd of beggars surrounded his
earrings he turned and asked some-l
what sharply whether they thought he
could support the poor everywhere.
Entering his carriage he slipped and
(oil. then turning to his coachmnn he
said: “it's all right. Joseph. it is all
right. it is only what i deserved. for if
i had no other good to give them. i
ought at least to have given them good
words."
The Department of Literary Work
'liould preserve the persistent deter-
mination of Wesley to make the read-
Ing and ”study of the best literature
popular. His pcn was ever busy. pre-
paring the bust productions of the
great masters for reproduction in such
'Orm that those of his people who had
ind little or no literary culture might
‘ie enlightened and inspired. For l-IIS
‘ie was eminently qualified. The Rev.
Dr. S. E. Herrick. of Boston. a minis-
‘er of another denomination. says that
vhile Wesley has been underrated on
the intellectual side because of his
identification with the ignorant and
humble. that in point of fact he was
he peer of any literary character of
that most literary period, He nuns:
‘No .gownsman of the University. no
inwned and mitered prelate of his time
was intellectually the superior of this
'tlneratlng Methodist—a Bishop more
‘ruly than the Archbishop of Canter-
bury hlmself. in everything but the
empty name." .. _
In social life which you as fourth
vice-president represent. Wesley was
not second to the best. The represen~
tattoos of .him which give him a cold
unaoclal aspect belle him. A friend
writing concerning him says: "So one
an old man I never saw. The happi-
ness of his mind beamed forth in his
watenance. Easy and affable in “is
demeanor he accommodated himself
to every sot-t of comp'inv and showed
how happily the most finished courtesy
may be blended with the most perfect
misty. While the were and serious
were charmed with his-wisdom. his

tcis secular or lrrcliglous. Going out to

earth is the Lord‘s and the fullness
thereof. and in his nutiie set out doubt-
ng nothing."
You as officers are to help us as
members reproduce the Christ life in
our church and community as Wesley
did in his land and age. His abilities
may not be out. We may not have his
length of life her his conspicuous ca-
reer. but his devotion to our common
Christ may be ours. and this was the
greatest tliliig about him. for as in?
author before quot it. says: "He is.

crated, unselfish. whole-hearted devo-
tion for fifty solid ears of this old

it was by this power alone that he wan
able to meet his adversaries. and his
brother Charles was able to furnish
the inspiring accompaniment of mar-

Let us sing one verse of this inspir-
