The daily Evansville journal. (Evansville, Ind.) 1862-1863, 1863-06-22

E@ The current number of the Meth
odiSt devOtes an Interesting article on
the approaching centennial anniversary
of American Methodism, in which it re-
calls as worthy of emulation, the spirit
and manner in which the one hundredth
year from the founding of Mr. Wesley's
societies was celebrated in England and
America in 1882 With reference to the
unparalleled strides which the Methodist
Episcopal church in the United States
has made since 1889, the writer says: 1t
has been torn asunder by the Southern
Secession, but despite that calamity, it
has gone forward with unimpsired vigor.
The twenty-eight conferences, North and
South, have grown to the forty-nine con-
ferences of the Church North. The
10000 members in 1889, have increased
to the 100000 of our own branch in
1868; adding, that this numerical adj
vance but family represents the growth
Of this branch of the Church in wealth,
influence and power, and urges, upon
this ground, that the times are auspi-
cious for the raising, in 1866, of such a
monument of hberality of Methodist lay
men as will be perpetual witness of
their devotion to and love for their
church.

table.
