GOING OVER THE LOG.

Rev. John Crawford Reviewing the Years
Work in the Mother Methodist Church.
The services at Trinity NJ e. Church
yesterday morning were interesting, and
a large congregation was present. 1t was
The pastor consulted the ''log" and de-
tailed what had transpired in the twelve
months he had been at the helm. His
discourse was intently Iistented to, as the
members were anxious to learn exactly
what the mother Methodist church in
Jersey City had accomplished.
The information was satisfactory The
church had made gain in membership
and also in interest, as there had been a
growth in the attendance at the meetings.
Although il has not had this year the aid
of several wealthy members who are alb
sent, the collections have been large and
the conference assessments have been
met.
After calling the roll of the members of
the church, which was listened to with
the utmost stiffness and occupied ten
minutes, Pastor Crawford announced as
his text:-As we were allowed of God to
be put in trust with the Gospel, even so
we speak, not as pleasing men, but God
who trieth our hearts," /. Thess. H., a.
After hkening his years pastorate to a
voyage, he compared the closing Sunday
with a coming to anchor in an expected
harbor, and gave his congregation, in
genuine nautical parlance, a description
of the process of anchoring.
Then taking the ships log, to use the
PASTORS phrase, an outline chart was
made up of the ships sailings--so far as
preaching had gone.
The general topics dwelt upon during
the year had been Christian doctrine,
Christian duties, the great examplar,
lesser examples as set forth in the Scrip
lures, Christian experience, special ex-
positions, addresses to children, other
addresses on missionary, temperance and
national interests, and, more than in any
other line, sermons and appeals of an
evangelistic character.
In one respect" the pastor continued,
II have come out at exactly the same
point where / went in a year ago, and
that is at the conviction that my one and
only business is to preach and teach to
live, illustrate and enforce the religion
of the book''
The roll of Trinity M. E. Church now
contains 80 names of full members and
twenty-three probationers, as against
fifty-four persons that have been received
in full connection during the past year.
Twenty-three have removed by letter,
eight have died and three have with
drawn.
AT the conclusing of the pleasing SER
mon Treasurer Sterling read his report.

in full her share to the conference

morning were J. c. Bailey and "Tody'

Show" Their mission was to secure a
license for Barnum & Bailey's circus to
