Reid, SHOE STORE 111 PRINCESS STREET : : HETERO #5 « KINGSTON lf! United States, '§ | iz Philadelphia #11771, at the age of twenty-six he HE PREACHED IN 1811; WAS ALSO ILL HERE * Reference to Bishop Asbury Whose 175th. Anniversary Was Celebrat- ed On Sunday Throughout The "He preached in Kington, and made kindly reference to the city.' So said Rev. W. T. G. Brown, in Sydenham Street Methodist Church on Sunday morning in reference .to Bishop Asbury whose 175th birth- celebrated in Methodist throughout the United States on Sunday. What Wesley was {to Methodism in Englands Francis | Asbury was to the cause of that faith ih America. Beginning his itinerant missionary efforts immediately after his arrival, from England in | pursued his indefatigable labors un-| | til he died at the ripe age of sev-| | enty-one, He began preaching in | Pennsylvania, 'traveled throughout | New Jersey and New York, initating | the first regular circuit work in | America, and covering Delaware, { Maryland and Virgina with lines of! | missionary travel. His powers of endurance and the j results that he accomlished were | astonishing. In traveling through | unsettled regions, he was glad to | find repose in the cabin of a settler | who could offer no bed but the top {of a chest, but as.a rule not even this accommodation was at hand, ! {and he was forced to find rest on | the bare ground, with no covering | but the clothes that he wore, or on | the boards of deserted cabins. | Frequently for days he rode 'on | horseback over rough roads, where | he and his companions were the sole travelers, crossing rivers and rug- ged mountains, and often reduced on | extended journeys to half fare. He died in Virgina, Mareh 31st, journeying to a general conference at Baltimore. Asbury's name has been perpetu- ted in the celebrated Asbury Park and in various church structures, but | his fame among Methodist is en- | shrined in the Methodist Episcopal | book concern, of which he laid the foundation; in the Methodist mis- sions, which he founded, to the frontier settlements of the country, and in the 'Methodist Sunday school system, which he was the first man on the American continent to intro- auce. America with a few little meeti B- housés and 300 communicants and left it with 214,000 members, con- trolled by bishops, with 2,000 preachers and itinerants, . having traveled in its service over® 270,000 miles and preached more than 16,- 500 sermons. Asbury was a personal friend of Washington and exerted rong in- uenfice on the American side in the Revolution. $ The eminent bishop had no am- bition to visit Canada, then a part of one of the U. S. conferences, and this he did in 1811. Mr, Brown spoke thus of the visit: "In June, 1811, he attended the New England conference in Vermont. Some few weeks intervened between in July and Asbury seized the inter- val for a visit to Canada. "Remember he was now sixty-six years of age ,his strength exhausted through long years of malaria and kard labor and to add to other Weak- nesses was suffering intensely from rheumatism. Yet on horseback ac- companied by Henry Boehm he brav- ed the mountains and awful roads through rocks and swamps and for- est-- a feeble broken old man in body but with the spirit of a young giant. : "They crossed Vermont and New York States preaching as they went. They were met by Rev. Mr. Smith, Cornwall; who acted, as guide from ne backwoods mountain settlement to' another and on through to the Indian village of St. Regis, Here tkey crossed the St. Lawrence some three miles rowed by four Indians in two large canoes the horses stand- ing with forefeet in ome canoe and hindfeet in the other. The passage was not easy and they were long in crossing. Night was falling as they entered the village of Cornwall but they pushed on a few miles to the home of Evan Royse and lodged till morning. This was the first Canad- ian home that entertained Asbury. "Eighty-six years afterwards (if I may be permitted a personal refer- ence) I called in the home of Evan Royse, a direct rescendant of Evan Royse of -Asbury's . day and after prayer the old gentleman said, 'You knelt in prayer about the spot where Asbury first knelt in'-Canada,' and then went on to speak with pride of the honor that had.'been done his ancestor when the great bishop rest- ed there for the night. Next day Asbury began his journey up the river stopping at Stephen Bailey's for dinner and at Glassford's for the night then on to the front of Matilda township where, 1 daresay, ancestors of our own Dr. Carmen were in his audience when he preached. As there was a large German colony THE DAILY | the poor old. bishop lay suffering in | unable to travel farther. He 'preac { in"wind and rain and when its doom 1816, literally in the harness, while] | He found the Methodist Churen nd them and the Genesee conference! BRITISH Henry Boehm also preached in Ger- man. "From this he continued through Edwardsburg and inte Augusta {| where he met the Palatine colony | of*Hecks and Dulmages who had mi- grated from New York, from thence by easy stages through the settle- ments where are now Brockville and Gananoque till he reached Kingston. Boehm pushed on. to visit the cir: | cuits about the Bay of Quinte but the kindly home of Elias Dulmage | ed in Kingston it is true and made! kindly reference to the city in his | journal but.the pain was too great for much energy. In a fey days Boehm returned with other preach- ers 0 ntheir way to Genesee confer- ence, and all embarked on an open sailboat for Sackett's Harbor. The first night the boat was driven back seemed certain found refuge under an island. Other passengers went ashore to a tavern but Asbury lay exhausted and suffering under what protection he could get from some blankets fixed as a tent over him | with the faithful Henry Boehm stretched on a cargo of stoves his guard and nurse and so wore out the weary night. But this martyr soul has little or nothing to say of the pain and hardship. His com- ment is of the kind fr.ends.the pro- sperous country the souls to be one. Boehm tells us of his suffer- ings." Mr. rown concluded with a stir-| ring reference to the heroism, devo- tion and courage of Bishop Asbury. He founded a national church in | the United States, the greatest in the | world. x | FRE IN OLD SHIP YARDS | | PORTSMOUTH HAD A LIVELY | FIRE SATURDAY AFTERNOON TH | Chiet Armstrong and Some of His Men Were Called to Give Assist- ance--Nearby Houses Had Close Call Owing to the High Wind. Portsmouth came near having a | serious fire on Saturday, when a | blaze broke out in the old shipyards | of the Kingston Forwarding Com- | pany. The fire started about noon, ! | but it was not until late in the after- | | noon, and after assistance had been | | given by Chief Armstrong and some | of his men, that the fire was over- | come. | The cause of the fire is unknown, but it is believed that some careless person dropped a match among tha! dry logs piled up in the shipyards, as | owing to the very dry weather of the past week, it would take very little to start a fire. About noon, some of the villagers noticed clouds of smoke issuing from the shipyards, and on an investigation being made, it was found that a pile of logs was burn- ing merrily. Quite w number engag- ed in carrying water but owing to the very high wind this method of | fighting the fire-did not make much | headway. A large tract of grass also caught fire and this added to the troubles of the fire fighters. For a couple of hours or so, villagers fought the fire in this manner, when they became alarmed, as with such a heavy wind there was great danger of sparks being carried to nearby houses. A-call 'was sent Into the city for assistance, and Mayor Nickle and | Ald. Chown, chairman of the fire | and iight committee, gave Chief Arm- strong and some of his men permis- sion to go to Portsmouth. The fire- men used chemicals on the blaze, and soon had it under control, but it smouldered all Saturday night, and it was necessary to keep a close watch on it in case there wag another outbreak. However, there was no more trouble. As the result of the fire, there is an agitation among the villagers to have the old lumber and logs in the shipyard removed in order to safe- guard the village, and it is likely that the village council will take action in the matter. The shipyards have been out of commission for years, "With such a high wind prevailing it is indeed a wonder some of the houses nearby did not catch fire," said one resident' of Portsmouth, to the Whig on Sunday. "Something should be done to get rid of this danger.' Grand Lawn Social. - Lawn social in aid of St. Barnaby's church, Brewers Mills, will be held in Mike Shortall's grove, Aug. 25th.

CHRRCED HIGH EXCHANGE ADIAN MONEY A Fruit Dealer at Alexandria Bay Tucked It On in Selling Peanuts --Another Lady's Experience. Kingstonians who have had oecca- sion to visit Alexandria Bay, N.Y., during the past few months have learnefé. thas certain merchants in that n are "holding up' Cana- dians for high exchange. On Satur- day afternoon several people, who took the steamer Brockville to the bay, -found out that it was no Joke about the amount of exchange de- manded. One Whig employee thought that he would try and see how much ex- change a fruit dealer, whose place of business is located near the wharr where the Brockville landed, was asking, so he purchased a bag of pea- nuts. The clerk informed him that the peanuts cost ten cents a bag and he would also have to pay him five cents exchange which meant 15 cents a bag, for peanuts. In other words this clerk demanded and. re- ceived fifty per cent exchange, Another Kingstonian stated that only a week or so ago she went into an American store. Although she pur- chased only seventy-five cents worth of goods the clerk discounted her $5 bill by 75 cents, for her goods and in change giving her Canadian, money.
