soon visible in this country, and the
growth in numbers, wealth and influence
of the Methodist church in the United
States is really wonderful. In numbers,
in aggregate wealth, in its universities,
colleges and seminaries, it far surpasses
any one body of Christians. The Metho-
dist Episcopal church is the name of the
principal body in this country, and this
is subdivided into several distinct and
separate organizations, namely: The
Methodist Episcopal, mainly covering the
old free states north and west; the Meth
odist Episcopal Church, South, covering
the old slave states, which seeded from
the main body in 1914 on the question OF
slavery; the Methodist Episcopal Afri-
can, and the Methodist Episcopal African
Zion. In doctrine and discipline they
are substantially one. There are several
smaller organizations of less Importance.
The Methodist Episcopal Church numbers
1851 itnerant ministers, and l,7o7, $3.50
members; the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has 4,045 itinerant MINIS
tiers and SS7, 299 members; the African
Methodist Episcopal Church has l,oo2
itinerant ministers and 391, 044 members.
The African Methodist Episcopal Zion
church has 20O0 itinerant ministers and
100000 members. Besides these there
are four smaller bodies of Episcopal
Methodists, of which the Omitted Breth-
rem is the principal, numbering over
1900 itinerant ministers, and about 1907
600 members The total number of Epis-
copal Methodists in the United States is
90, 623 tinerant ministers, and 3,762,967
members. The non-Episcopal Methodists
of all kinds-that is, Methodist organiZa-
lions without bishops-number 20S0 itin-
Grant ministers, and 1875, 100 members.
OF these the principal body is the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, numbering 1900
ministers and $50, 900 members.
The growth of the church in education,
wealth and influence has been as marked
as in it's numerical growth. 1t has under
it's coutrOl AZ universities and colleges,
SO classical semnaries, % seminaries eX-
clusively for young ladies, and 8 theolog-
ical schools. Some of these institutions
are located i'll foreign countries, but they
are all under the control of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, South, and other
branches of the denomination. DR.. War
rem, president Of the Boston University,
estimates that ten millions of dollars have
| been raised and expended by the Northern
| Methodist Episcopal church for educa-
| tional institutions within the last twenty
years, averaging 100000 annually.

THE METHODIST CHURCH.

Mr.. Editorials the Vermont annual
conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church is about to meet at your pleasant
and thriving village, 1 have thought
that some account Of the denomination
might be of interest to many Of your nu
merous readers. The origin of the Meth
odist church has parallel in the origin
of the republican party, the former organ
ization taking its rise in England when
the pernicious teachings of Voltaire were
sapping the foundations of Christianity
in that kingdom and when immortality
and vice were rampant over that land,
not even sparing the clergy as well as the
laity of the established church. John
Wesley was among the first, to sound the
alarm. He was a regularly ordained
presbyter in the Established Church, and
held a fellowship and professorship at
Oxford. He belonged to family of high
rank and infuence-was man of pro-
found learning and of consummate logic
al powers. He became alarmed at the
growth Of infdelity among his country
men and ut the low state of religion in his
own church. His earlier labors were
among the poor and illiterate, although
he had the warmest sympathy of many
noble and wealthy families. He was al
ways a welcome guest with the educated
and refined whenever he chose to assoei-
ate with them. For long time he had
no thought of organizing new societies,
but urged his converted followers to at
tend public worship and commune with
his own church of the establishment. He
sinally found it necessary to form socie-
ties independently Of tile church of Eng
land SO called, and Wesleyan grew into Il
powerful caurch organization, numbering
more than any other body of Christians
in England outside of the Established
church. At the great Ecumenical con
conference at London in 1881, where al
branches of Methodism were represented
the Lord Mayor of London was found tc
s3e a devout follower of Wesley, and h'
entertained the delegates at his magnifi
cent mansion right royalty. There is nov
a monument erected in Westminster Alb
hey to the memory of John Wesley, a
one of England's greatest benefactors.

From the above table it will be seen
that the Disciples of Christ constitute an
important branch Of the Christian church.
And yet they are hardly known in New
England 1t is the denomination to which
the late President Garfield belonged
They are sometimes called ''ChriStians,"
Complexities Baptists, or Cambellites.
The denomination had its origin in Penn
sylvania in 1909, in an effort to harmon
ize and unite all Protestant Christians in
one body, and Thomas Campbell, aided
by his son, Alexander Campbell, was the
prime mover in the enterprise. The
Campbells with most of the original men,
bers came from the Presbyterians, but
not finding the baptism of infants and
baptism by the mode of sprinkling auth
orized by the Holy Scriptures, they form
| ed an alliance with a local Baptist asSoci-
alton They rely on the Bible rather than
on any human creed for their guidance.
| Their views are in accordance with what
are generally accepted as Evangelical"
New England was the last field in the
older states occupied by the Methodists.
| Here they found the territory previously
| occupied by other denominations-but
| their growth here has been marked, and
to-day they are second in numbers in five
of the six states, and the first is Maine
the Baptists leading in Rhode Island, and
the Congregationalists leading in the 9TH
| err four states. We have before US q ''Ver-
mont Register and Almanac" for 1909, in
which is list of clergymen in this state.
The name of no Methodist is given, indi-
| eating that no clergyman of that denomi-
nation lived in the state, or that if there
were any, they were too insignificant to
be counted. There were seventy-six
names set down as Congregationalists,
twenty as Baptists, two as Presbyterians,
two as Episcopalians and three as Uni
versalists. Among the last named is that
of the celebrated Hosea Bollou, then of
Barnard, who was a tower Of strength in
that and the surrounding towns. The
two Episcopal clergymen were located
at Name chester and Hartland-the two
Presbyterians at Ryegate and Barnet.
What change since that day! By the
Conference Minutes for 1884, there are
now in Vermont Ut Methodist Episcopal
churches, with membership of about
$4,000, besides 1852 members on proba
tion-and all these 1T churches supplied
with regular pastors. The Congregation
alists who had 76 clergymen seventy-si1
years ago, have now 1875 churches, O.
which only 40 have settled pastors-whilt
lO4 have acting pastors, 10 are supplied
by licentiates, leaving 80 churches vacant
By the United States census report o
1870, we find the following statistics TO
other denominations in Vermont for tina
year. The Baptists (regulaf) had III
churches, other Baptists Is, Christian
IA, Protestant Episcopalians SO, Roman
Catholics 40, Second Advents Is, Univers

AxYrmfsG TO SAVE PROTECTION.

Such is the selfish interest which
proteclionists have in maintaining an
unjust tariff that they are ready to
adopt most any scheme to secure their
object. Ia order 10 make II necessary
TO raise large sums Of money by impos-
Ing heavy duties on all kinds Of import
ed articles they now propose TO repeal
the internal revenue taxes on whlakey
and tobacco. The only argument that
Is needed against repeating the internal
taxes on whiskey and sobseco consists
In the fact that the thing cannot be done
s0i1.Out bankrnptiag ths public T.sasury
or largely increasing the revenues from
some other source. The only fsasibls
source Of revenue that would remain 10
in the duties on imports but 10 set
more revenue out Of the customs It will
be necessary 10 restore the duties on
tea and coffee or rsducs many Of the
prohibitory rates 20 . revenue staDdard.
When with economy 10 administration,
another large surplus arises in the
Treasury the friends of revenue reform
viii insist on reducing The taxes on
neoessaries Of tho family instead OF tax
ing them OF drink and smoke. There
Is sufficient surplus Ia tho treasury now
10 warrant . transfer Of taxed raw ma
tsrials to the frss list aud . moderate
reduction Of duties on articles Of neoess-
ity. A reduction Of duties 70 the
amount Of forty million dollars in this
way would ralieve the industry and
labor Of the country of burden Of at
least two hundred million dollars. A
repeal Of one hundred and thirty.6Te
million dollars Of fiscal taxes which
men Voluntarily pay fcr their drink
and smoke would leave the Treasury
without means to carry on the govern
ment, unless the deficit Is supplied by
raising moro revenue from customs on
lower rates Of duty. For thsse reasons
there 10 no party in the country in
favor Of repeating the internal taxes.
The protectionists would oppose such
measure now, and the friends Of tariff
reform viii oppose it now and in The
future. As q matter Of 6scal legisla-
ton there is no hetter or more salts
factory source Of reyenue than the vol
untary taxes paid on the consumption
Of whiskey and tobacco. Apart from
the question OF revenue there are null
titudes Of voters who believe tha. the
cheapsning of whiskey for drink Ia not
in accordance with sound public policy,
and these will decide the question
against repeal every time. Cheap cloth.
ing, blankets, carpets, coal, salt and
other necessariss are of far more conse-
quencs to the family than cheap whis.
