The Methodist centennial conference,
lsat week in session at Baltimore, com
msmorates the close Of the frat cen.
sury and the opening Of the
sseonA since the organization Of the
MezAs&lBs Episcopal church in America.
Pflax D l7S4 the Methodist church in
shis country existed in the form Of sooie.
tiea, most Of them numerically small,
gathered around their pioneer pastors
and governed by rules and regalations
similar to those which obtain at the
present day. But these societi,s, as the
Rev. John Wiley explained in his Ad.
dress to the conference, were without the
sacraments. They were urgent for these
holy services and, TO obtain them, petit
toned MIR. Wesley TO formally establish
. church or branch Of the mother church
In this country. Mr.. Wesley, whom the
scattered American societies recognized
90 their spiritual head, deemed the for
msr course the proper one and proceeded
70 institute the American Methodisis into
adistinct church. His proceedings took
shape In the assembling Of conference
NJ Baltimore In 1884 and the ordination
Of Bishops Coke and Asbury. This
conference assembled on December 24th,
and was attended by so preachers, who
had been gathered from throughout the
then young and sparsely settled republic
chiefly by the exsrtions of Ffeebern Gar
rison, who rode on horseback from ,owr
TO town and from settlement to settle
ment and personally informed them con
corning the proposed organization, and
urged them to be present at the time
selected.
The inception OF the Methods
Episcopal church Of New England, III,
parent Of the American church, date
back 70 1888, when, as John Wesley, tn,
father Of Methodism writes, "eiRht or tel
persons came 10 me in London, VIII
appeared to be deeply convinced Of sill
and earnestly groaning for redemption
They desired, as did two or three NOR
the same day, that l would spend som
time with them in prayer and adyis
them how to flee from the wrath to come
which they saw continually hsngin
over their heads. That we might hav
more time for this great work Iappointe
sdAy when they might all come together
which from thencsiorward they did ever
week, viz, on Thursday in the evening.
This Mr.. Wesley called "the first Meth
dist society"
The arst Methodist society in II
United States was established, by fe
Irish immigrants, in New York in 176
In the course Of year or two their nur
bers had so increased that they wrote
John Wesley 70 send them out some COL
petsnt preachers. Richard BoArdman al
Joseph Pilmoor imme distely volunteer
for this mission, and these two were Il
lowed to America in 177l by Franc
Asbury and Richard Wright. From til
humble beginning have grown up 4
several divisions OF the Methodist ohur
whose houses of worship are now fou
In every village Of the Land and who
membership aggregates between TIL
and four millions.
