METHODIST CHURCH.
Its Progress During the First
Century of its Existence
in the United States.
Eightieth Session Of the Philadelphia
Annual Meeting at Har-
rlSburg This MOrning-The First
Days Proceedings, Etc. Etc.

The meeting of the Eightieth Session of the
Philadelphia Annual Conference of the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, at Harrisburg, this
morning, recalls the fact this large and inhu-
ential denomination has just completed the
first century of its existence in the United
States, and in this connection a brief outline
of the rise and progress of the Church during
this period will not be without interest
Twenty eight years after the foundation of
the new faith in England, it was first preached
in the present limits of this country by
Philip Embury, carpenter by trade and a
native of Ireland, in which country he was
born in l72S. In 1852 he made a profession
of religion, was subsequently licensed as
local preacher, and finally settled in New
York city in August, 1860. Some time dur
ing the month of October, 1866, he preached
his first sermon in his own private residence,
on Barrack street, now City Hall Place. The
congregation consisted of four persons only
Barbara Heck, her husband Paul, hired man
by the name of John Lawrence, and a colored
servant called Betty. These four were formed
into a class, with Philip Embury for their
leader; but their numbers increased quite
rapidly and to accommodate them a sail-loft
on HOTse-and-cart lane was rented and fitted
up. This apartment was located on the site
of No. l2O William street, and was not de-
molished until 1854. About the same time
Robert Strawbridge, another local preacher,
likewise from Ireland, began to preach in
Frederick county, Maryland. On the Both of
October, l76S, Philip Embury dedicated the
first regular church of the denomination, a
very rude building, sixty by forty-two feet in
dimensions, and situated on the ground now
occupied by the John Street Church in New
York
The foundation of the Church in this city is
credited to Captain Webb, an officer of the
British army, who had embraced the faith in
Bristol, England, in 1865. He preached his
first sermon in Philadelphia, in 1768, his audi
ence-room being nothing more than sail-loft
1t was through his instrumentality that the
old st. Georges Church, on Fourth street was
secured for the use of the congregation. The
first Annual Conference was held in this build
ing on the 14th of July, 1873, at which time
the denomination numbered about 1160 mem
bers and ten preachers, only one of whom was
a native of the country. Annual Conferences
were subsequently held for nineteen years in
succession, when it became necessary, on ac-
count of their number, to organize a General
Conference, in which the then eighteen An
nual Conferences were represented. The pro-
gress of the Church, from its foundation to
the present time, is shown by the following
statement, embracing the number of preachers
and members at the time of meeting of the
different General Conferences, the great de
crease in 1S4S being on account of the seces-
sion of the Church South, in lS44:-
