BI-CENTENARY OF JOHN WESLEY Evangelical Christen-d‘om is look- ing forward to the celebration on Sunday next of the great spiritual awakening which came to John Wesâ€" ley while he attended a religious ser- vice in Aldersga'te St., London, on the evening of May 24th, 1738. To use his own words, he “felt his heart strangely warmed,” and hem this new experience he went forth into every corner of the British Isles pro- claiming the “gl'ad tidings of great joy” to all classes and conditions of men. During his life-time he tra- velled 250,000 miles, mest of it on horseback, and preached 42,000 ser- moxms. Today his spiritual followers number not less than fifty million. It is believed that a similar spirituval awakening is the urgent need of the world toâ€"day.
