was called to see John McConnsughy
He found Mr.. McConnaughy lying In bed
and complaining ola large heavy stone
which he insisted was lying on his breast
and said il he could only have 1t removed
he would be all right. Medicine was ad'
ministered, which he was told would re-
move 1t, and all arguments were vainly
used to convince him that he was laboring
under o mental hallucination. He grew
worse until Friday, when the Doctor
called and cured him instantly in the FOL-
lowing way, which, II not laid down in
the books, worked like charm anyway.
The Doctor before entering the house se-
creted good chunk OF a limestone in his
coat sleeve, and while he was pretending
to examine his patient allowed 1t to slip
out OF his sleeve on to the breast OF the
patient, and before McConnaughy could
discover the trick the Doctor asked him TO
help him with his own hands TO remove
the stone. He did so, and the stone was
taken away and thrown TO the floor and
the patient instantly cured.

APRoros OF the Methodist General Con-
ference, which meets in Cincinnati in
May, the following figures, illustrative Of
the growth OF Methodism in this country,
are interesting and timely. In about one
century, from I777 to 1880, it has increas-
ed all its branches from 6,96S to 3,4S7. 100
members. The Methodism Of the old world
embraces 4,965,04s. The Methodism Of
the new world has Tar outstripped its
parent, Wesleyanism, in the old world,
has elements OF progress for all lands, it is
showing that while, as system, 1t
especially adapted to the genius and inst.
tutions OF America. The Methodist Epis-
copal Church OF the United States mot
counting the Methodist Episcopal Church
South alone contained total Of
1,70s,2 200 ministers and lay members,
actual communicates. For every decade
since 1890 it has grown by a greater per
centage than the whole population Of the
country. And what Is even more remark
able about this growth isits sdiffusiveness-
the denomination has its members and its
churches everywhere. 1t seems to take
root and to thrive in every soil. In mum.
bers 1t is hardly second to orthodox Con.
gregationalism in New England ITSELF
where 1t was so late fn being planted, and
where 1t has had hard struggle, side by
side, with the older, more wealthy and in
tluential churches; while in Ohio, Indi-
ana, and Illinois, the great Middle West,
it far exceeds in members and property
any other evangelical denomination.
The Methodist Book Concern, East and
West, constitutes-possibly excepting
one in Paris-the largest denominational
publishing interest in the world. It's
growth from almost nothing, $500 Dor.
rowed money, to its present net capital,
s., ,S26, $50 SS, certainly shows both en-.
terprise and capacity. The first published
catalogue contained twenty-six volumes,
large and small; the present one contains
,35l, besides the Sunday School and tract
publications. The concern issues daily q
S7e books. To these must be added all Id
periodicals and more ephemeral literature.
The educational institutions Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church now number
forty.fve colleges.and theological schools
and ninety seminaries, academies, and
female colleges under its supervisors, with
about 2l,OO0 students and Sl1, o,00C
endowment funds. The missionary, Sun
day school, tract, church extension
Freedman's aid, and educational societies
show relatively the same yigor and pro
gress; the contributions to their treasures
and the expansion OF the work assigned tc
them severally, keeping pace with the
multiplication Of the church members
So thorough is the organization OF thil
church that there is not single phase o.
religious and philanthropic work fol
which it is not equipped; nor is there
phase OF society which it does not touch
and more or less impress.
