He added that London Stone could still very properly be used, in its present position to mark the centre of London:

WESLEY'S BIRTHPLACE. Widespread interest has been aroused by the proposal-to. pur-11. chase Epworth Vicarage the Wesley home on the borders of 12. Lincolnshire and Yorkshire-by| the Wesleyan connection,

The scheme in its original form was confined to an appeal for funds to restore this historic home of the great preacher, but. now followers throughout the world of the religion he founded are anxious to secure the house as a permanent tribute to his memory. The plan receives a fresh impetus from the fact that only a few weeks ago a no less famous vicarage at Haworth-the Yorkshire home of the Brontes was purchased for the nation. It is felt that similar steps should be taken to ensure, the future of the one at Epwoth, which, like its Northern neighbour, is visited by tourists from all parts of the world.

The Rev. Walter H. Armstrong, of the Wesleyan Methodist Lon- don Mission and Extension Fund, explained to an Observer re- presentative that of all places associated with Wesley his birthplace was perhaps, held his in the greatest regard by 40,000,000 followers.
