be held in this city. Here the plan of the
giant society, which now has 10,5GO chap

dation has come n wonderful growth al
most without parallel in the history of re-
ligious organizations. The membership
has multiplied more than tenfold and the
usefulness and power at an even greater
ratio.
The five societies which combined to form
the Epworth league were the Young Peo-
pies Methodist alliance, organized at a
camp meeting held Mt Des PLANES, Ills, in
the summer of 1883; the Oxford league,
founded by Bishop j. H. Vincent about the

every coil in the barrel, and sometimes each
coil is broken twice. The spring has be
