The Methodists and the Cities.

The Methodists are not disposed to
admit the truth of the statement
lately disseminated that their church
and system seem better adapted to
the simple life of rural communities
than to cities, and that the great
problem of their future is how to hold
their own in the centers ofpopulation.
Their spokesman say that even in the
cities they are doing we'll, DR., North
OF New York, Secretary Of the Nation
al City Evangeliz alton Union has been
investigating, and reports that out
of 1876 American cities having d pop
ulation OF more than $4,000, only
seven showed a loss of Methodist
communicates during the last ten
years. All the Others showed fair
gains, and seventy-four of them snow
ed that the Methodist percentage Of
gain beat the percentage of gain
in general population. In each
of the seven largest cities of the
country Methodism is growing, and
in three of them-Boston, Chicago
and st. Louis-the gain is especially
satisfactory in that it's percentage
beats the percentage of increase in
population.
The figures are impressive and in
teresting. They are reassuring, too,
in considerable measure, but they
may not tell the whole story. The
assertion which led to them was that
increased wealth, chiefly noticeable in
cities, bred the taste for more COM
pick, polite, and perhaps luxurious
life than Methodist discipline com
templated, and that there was a ten
dency for the richer Methodists to
stray in other folds, where the pre-
vailing ideas and manner of life were
more congenial to their aspirations
That may be true, in spite of Dr.
North statistics, and if true, it is not
unimportant. To notice one parti
cular Methodist discipline inculcates
and even requires, in church mem
bers, a degree of abstinence In the
matter of beverages which is apt tc
be irksome to persons who follow the
ordinary temperate usage of polite
life in the concerns of eating anC
drinking. 1t is easy to imagine thai

An Interesting Old Geography.

G. Fl. Harvey, Jr., of Royalton has
in his possession a geography which
was published in 1894, and which
is of unusual interest. The pages, of
which there are 430, measure four
inches by seven inches, and the maps,
of which there are only few, are
proportionately diminutive. In the
chapter on Vermont is the following !:
windsor and Rutland, by late act
of the Legislature, are alternately to
be the seat of government for eight
years. The former is situated on the
Connecticut river and contains about
1000 inhabitants; the latter lies on
the Otter creek and contains upwards
of 1,400 inhabitants. Both are
fourishing towns" "Newbury is the
shire town of Orange county, 1t has
a court house and a very elegant
meeting house for Congregational
lists, with a steeple, the first erected
in the state" When this geography
was printed pot and pearl ashes were
the chief exports of Vermont, and

New Masonic Building at GuiIdhaII.

The officers of the Grand Lodge of
Vermont dedicated a Masonic hall at
Guildhall, VT, last week. The build
ing containing the Masonic hall and
a public library was the generous
gift of Col. E. G. Benton of Belmont,
Mass, a son of Guildhall. The new
hall necessitated the formation of a
new lodge, which took the number of
defunct lodge, No. SO, and is called
Benton lodge in honor of the grand
sire of the doner.
The dedication of the hall took
place Tuesday. A special car from
Boston arrivedin the morning, bring
ing distinguished visitors from Mass

in turn, met and escorted the Grand
Lodge of Vermont to the court house.
The Grand Lodge of Vermont assem-
bled at the court house, while an as
sembly was held by the visiting
lodges at the Congregational church.
At 1915 p. m. the formal dedica-
ton of the Masonic hall took place.
More than 400 Masons participated,
and it is said that never before had
so large number been assembled in
the north country.
After the collation. speeches were
made by Charles R. Montague, Grand
