STEADY AND RAPID GROWTH
OF the denomination. They are especially inter-
esting as showing the questions that then per-
picked the preachers, and were regarded as of
sufficient Importance to be determined by con-
ference and formally entered into the minutes
They are valuable also in the fact that they give
an insight into the prvatiOns endured and the
sacrifices made by these early pioneers and mis-
siOnaries, who laid the foundations for one of
the most powerful denominations in this land of
churches.
The conference of TIT was held sat a preach
ing house near Deer Creek. in Hartford county.
Md" In 177S the conference was held at Lees
burg. Va; in 1779, in Kent county, Del, and
Fluvianna, Va; in 17S0, at Baltimore; in 1881, at
Choptank, Del, and Baltimore in 1852, at Ellis
preaching house, Sussex county, Va; in 17S3-
1854, at Ellis preaching house and Baltimore
At the conference which ended in Baltimore
May 2oth 1854 four preachers were admitted,
eighteen remained on trial, eleven were re-
ceived on trial and forty-four appointments were
nlled. The membership reported in 1776 as T. 921

The conference Of 1779 declared that they
should view those preachers who received money
by subscription as excluded from the Methodist
connection. The conference Of 1850 decided
that ''all the preachers should make COINCIDENCE

The Proper Time for Rising.

From the London Lancet.
The proper time to rise is when sleep, properly
so-caled, ends. Doing is not admissible from
any reasonable or heal tn point of view. The
brain falls into the state We call sleep and the
other organs Of the body follow 1t. True sleep
is q state which consi lists in the sleeping or rest
Of all the several parts Of the organism Bono
times one and at other times another part of the
body as q whole may be the least Gatigued and
80 the first to awake, or tho most exhausted,
and therefore, the most difhcult 10 arouse
The secret Of good sleep is-the physiological
condition OF rest being cstablished-to 30 work
and weary the several parts of the organism
as to give them proportionally equal need Of
rest ct the same moment. The cerebrum or
the sense organs, the muscular
system, and the viscera should all be ready to
sleep together, and SO far as may be possible.
they should be equally tired. To wake early.
and feel ready to rise. this fsir ard equal start
OF the sleepers should be secured; and the wise
self manager should not allow q drovsy feeling
OF the consciousness or weary senses, or an en-.
muscular system, to begaile him into
the Jolly OF going to sleep again when once his
has been aroused. After a very
few days of self-dlscipline, the man who resolves
not TO ''doze"-that Ia, to allow some still
sleepy part OF his body TO keep him IN bed after
his brain has once awakened-will ind hieaself

RUIN0US PRACTICE.
The common practice Of sowing oats. bar
ley, or other grains with the grasses under the
impression that they viii protect the young
grass plants from the sun, is altogether wrong
and is runOus to lawn. To carry out this
principle Of protection. consistency would sug-
gest the planting of corn to shade the oats, and
castor beans, or some similar plant to shade the
corn. Grass seed or young grass plants no
more need protection than does oats and no
good lawn was ever made the first year, when
the grass seeds have been mixed with oats /
have seen examples In this city where lawns
sown with oats in spring, turned into bare
fields in the fall, and during dry summers such
. result Is quite certain to occur. On the other
hand had the oats been omitted fine lawns, green
and thick, could have been realized in June at
latest.
Some judgment Is required In the manner of
covering the seeds. Where the ground is of a
kind that will become hard and caked on the
surface. the seeds should be covered by lixht
rake will answer better purpose. On soils
that are sandy or gravelly, or are quite dry. a
slight rolling after raking will be OF special
value, but In no case should the covering ex-
coed q fourth of an inch in depth.
may here remark that the grasses advertised
as specially adapted for lawns, such rs English
lawn grass seed, Central park lawn mixture &c,

AS may be supposed, although the growth Of
the church has been phenomenal, there has been

Withdrawals from the main body. and the forma-

Nine years before the general conference held
by Mr. Asbury in Baltimore there was difficulty
among the preachers. Rev. Robert Strawbridge,
OF Frederick county, Nd, took exception to
some OF the rules adopted, and claimed the right
TO administer the Lords Supper and baptism.
Moving from Frederick county to Baltimore
