Methodism and its Methods.
The pious reporter Of THE CRITIC has beon
promenading the streets and visiting num-
| ber of the churches for several days past, and
gives to the religious world some of the re-
| suits of his pilgrimages to-day, and promises
to be heard from again. The following re-
marks are presented first, as he found a dozen
or sixteen Methodist Episcopal churches and
pastors In the incipient stages OF their annual
excitement as many Of these dear pastors and
people must separate In a month hence, ana
three years will be broken, perhaps forever.
1t is sad to think Of those annual upheavals at
conferences and yet II Is strange that all seem m
to like them at times, as 1t is an easy way to
get rid of n people or pastor you don't ike.
Still the system Of itinerancy has many disad-
| vantages, especially in large cities, where the
Methodists seem to be scarcely as successful
| as Presbyterians and Episcopalians. As rule
it may be safely asserted that the more steady
| and serious class of thinkers Of our cities pre-
| fer fixed pastorates, and the leading ministers
of the land prefer 1t, too, as much unrest ana
But this moralizing is irrelevant to the pres
ent sketch, as the Baltimore Conference will
| begin its ninety-eighth annual council on
March 8, at Broadway Church, Baltimore,
Bishop Wiley will act as chairman and about
| 200 ministers will attend, answer their names
pass examinations report the progress Of the
| year and the collections they took up. Their
the Bishop and five presiding elders will NEE
in secret council, and the result will be tht
| stationing of these brethren In different heldf
for the next year. No minister can claim 0
voice or vote In determining his new Held o.
labor, as that is not according to usage OF DIS
| cipline. Some will go where they are mo-
wanted and others where they don't want u
beginning in the western section TIL
CRITICS man found that the pastor of Dun
barton-street NJ. E. Church must move II
, March by law OF limitation, as DR.. j. McKen
| dree Reilley is closing three years OF faithful
labor. The church is In good state ana @ de
, sirablc Held for his successor, whoever tina
man may 6e Il nsS Is 10 w 6e hoped op

g' Fletcher Chapel has had chequered

Isl Old Wesley Chapel has seen bright days
az "ye olden time" but II Is one OF the comp
atively weak charges to-day. How could II
