THE METHODIST CENTENARY.

The Methodlsts are making much OF |
their centenary year, both by liberal
contributions TO UNCONVENTIONAL objects |
and frequent anniversary meetings, at |
which their early history Is recalled, and
the founders of the sect are gratefully |
brought to remembrance. The centen-
airy subscriptions from the beginning of
the year TO the middle of May in seven
States amounted TO 1858, 1876, aud there
have been large additions made since.
A very interesting celebration of the an
niversary took place at the John street
Methodist church, in New York, week
ago Sunday evening, An interesting
feature of the meeting was a display of
relics by the venerable Father Bangs,
who said:
"In olden times, they always com
menced meeting at early candle light.
Here are couple of caadlesticks that
used TO belong TO Barbara Heck, the first
Methodist in America, aud she gave
them 10 the first church that was ever
built in New York. and here they are to-
night, Just as they used to be lighted on
the old pulpit, and there is Barbara's
old hymn-book that she brought with
her from Ireland, 1t never has been
bound, the old binding and everything
about it that she used to praise God out
of. Here is another one of the same,
only it has been bound. And then We
have another relic here. Look at that,
enough to knock mans brains out,
Here Rev. Mr.. Bangs held up piece of
timber about three feet long. Here Is
what is painted on it: This is part Of
the timber of the old sail-loft, the first
Methodist preaching house in New York,
now No. 100 William street, New York
and this is given to the John street Meth
odist Episcopal Church to take care OF. .
And here is some of the original pulpit,
! and here is the chair in which Bishop
Asbury used to sit"
THE NEW BAPTIST VERSION.
-Burleigh writes to the Boston Jour
nal from New York, that the new Bap-
fist version of the Scriptures is steadily
gaining ground in the denomination -
AT a meeting of the New York ASso-
citation, held last week, at which thirty
leading Baptist ministers were present,
it was voted unanimously to accept the
new version, and to recommend 1t TO be
used in the pulpit, in the Sunday-school
and in the family. Rev. DR.. Westcott
who has been long and earnest opp0-
nent OF the new version has given in mis-
adhesion, and allowed himself TO be ell
ected as associate secretary. The new
fire commissioners have requested dona.
tions of the new version for every en-
CINE. house in the Metropolitan district
assigning as a reason that the members
of the paid department have great deal
of time on their hands. They have
heard of the new version, are curious
about it, and propose to read it in con.
nection with the old in their leisure
moments and see which is best. Orders
have been received for the new boob
from the Pacific coast, the provinces anc
from Europe. Orders for 20 600 Copie:
are now untitled. So you will see thai
the new Baptist Bible is fairly launched
and is destined to make stir in the re
hgious world"

EQUAL RIGHTS IN THE Cause.-The col
ored people of Philadelphia held a meet
ing Thursday evening to protest against
their exclusion from all but certain cars
on the horse railroads in that city. They
adopted resolutions denouncing the
prescription as an outrage against en-
iightened civilization and the spirit Of
Christianity, and violation Of the prin-
ciple of equal rights, and declaring their
determination to use all means in their
power legal and moral, to vindicate
their rights in the matter.
