7,267,511 Sunday school scholars, and
church property valued at $500, 900, 900.
OF these immense figures the Ameri-
can Methodist Churches have 6,437, 461
members, 42,0S3 ministers, 46423 local
preachers, 5,091,S79 Sunday school
scholars, and church property valued
at $1S0.000,000. Those who adhere to
Methodism are estimated to number
2S,01S,770 and of these adherents, g.
$751; 13 are credited to the American
Methodist congregations.
These statistics give some idea of
the great growth of Methodlsm and of
its present majestic proportions. Com
ing into the twentieth century with
such vast numbers and such immense
force, it's success should be greater than
ever before.
The great numbers of Methodists do
not measure the results of Wesley ],
work, as the historian, Green. observes:
'"rhe Methodists themselves were the
least result of the Methodist revival
It's action upon the Church broke the
lethargy of the clergy. But the noblest
result of the religious revival was
the steady attempt, which has never
ceased from that day to this, to remedy
the guilt, the ignorance, the physical
suffering, the social degradation of the
profligate and the poor"
Suggesting the influence of Wesley
anism on other denominations, Telford
has well expressed the truth when he
says, lone community bears Wesleys
name; the Churches have caught his
spirit" .s---

courses. Then persons converted I'M
der MIR. Wesley's ministry desired him
to form them into a society and to
care for them. SO in the latter part of
1883, in London, he organized his first
society. Other societies We're formed
here and there, and in a short time Mr..
John Wesley found himself the head
of Il great religious organization. This
spread RAPIDLY in his lifetime, and to
this day continues to advance through
ont the world.
The first Methodist Conference was
held on June %, 1774, in London, and
consisted of seven clergymen Of the
Church of England and four lay
preachers Three years later. Wesley
visited Ireland, where he met with
great success. The doctrines taught
by Wesley were those held by the Re-
formed churches, but they excluded
ritualism and sacramentarianism, and
divided from Calvinism on uncondi-
tional election, prcdestination. and
final perseverance of the saints. The
hymns they sang contributed greatly
to their success. Charles Wesley COM
posing most of them. In such work,
John Wesley continued until his
death.
Originally, he did not intend that the
McthodiSts should leave the Church or
England. and for Il long time did
everything in his power to prevent it..
But the treatment he and they re-
ccived from the ecclesiastical authori-
ties convinced him, long before he
lit a.
ton would take place. Therefore, to
preserve the unity, doctrine. and spirit
of the societies, and to hold the prop
crty which had been acquired, he pre-
pared n peculiar document. entitled a
Deed of Declaration" which deed was
embodied i'm an act of Parliament
which transferred the powers Wesley
had exercised to one hundred minis
| ters, known as The Legal Hundred
| The conditions on which their Success
SorS should be elected We're therein
prescribed: and, while no creed is
specifically mentioned. 1t Is expressly
provided that the doctrines contained
in certain sermons and doctrinal tracts
must be preached

was baptized John Benjamin, but he
signed himself John Wesley.
In view of the stock from which the
family came, and in view of the char
acter and accomplishments of both
father and mother, it may be said in
the best sense that John Wesley was
wellborn.
Wesley was trained by his mother
until he was ten years old when he en-
tered the famous charter house school
in London. At seventeen he became a
student in Oxford University. His
great-grandfather, grandfather and
father had graduated from Oxford and
he was following in their steps. He
graduated at the age of twenty-five.
The next year he was elected fell
low of Lincoln College, Oxford, and
soon was made Greek lecturer. The
following year he received his master
of arts degree.
In 1926 John Wesley was ordained
deacon. Then in 1927 he went to serve
as curate at Epworth and Wroote, rem
dering valuable assistance to his faith
er. In 112S he returned to Oxford and
was ordained presbyter or priest in
the Church of England. Called back
to the university, he gave up his cur
acy in 1929 and returned to Lincoln
College, where as a Fellow he taught,
and as moderator presided over the
discussions or disputations which We're
held six times a week. He now be-
came the head of little society of
university men who had been gathered
by his brother Charles, then a student
at the university. This company was
nicknamed the Holy Club" and it's
members We're called "Methodists."
They were devout and methodical, and
carefully observed the method of study
and living prescribed by the university
authorities.
In 1875 John Wesley started az a
missionary, or, as Wesley wrote
missioner, to Georgia, where he landed
on the fifth of February, 1876. On the
first of February, 1873, he returned to
England
His preaching now became SO
scriptural and spiritual that in a short
time the clergymen of the Established
Church would not let him, his brother
Charles, or his friend George White
field preach in their pulpits. So they
We're compelled to go out and preach in
the open air to the multitudes, who

Methodism's Founder.
Two Hundred Years Have Passed
Since He Was Born.
The Story of His Life and Glance at
it's Fruits.

This month millions of people all
around the world viii abserve the two
hundredth anniversary of the birth of
John Wesley the founder Of Method
ism 1t was in June that John Wesley
was born in the year 1903, the very
year when T'eter the Great founded the
city Of st. PETERSBURG. And the year
Immediately after the accession of
Queen Ann to the throne of England.
His birth occurred only about forty
five years after the death of Oliver
Cromwell whose son Richard was still
living. Even at the time of Wesley's
birth fierce fight was being fought by
fiery Churchmen on the one hand and
determined Dissenters on the other.
Such was the period in which John
Wesley, the great Churchly Dissenter,
came into the world.
The Methodist Churches of this
vacinity are to unite in a grand cele-
bration June 1927. There will be mass
meetings in Hallowell, Gardiner and

THE GENERAL ARMY STAFF
Will Bring Many Changes in the Hand
..+ ling of the Army.

Washington, June ia committee
of IL of the general staff, of which Gen.
Tasker Fl. Bliss is chairman has near
~ completed a draft of regulations for
the government of the general staff.
The regulations to carry the general
staff act into effect will make radical
changes in the army. The. chief of
staff will unite in himself all the theo-
retic authority exercised by the COM
manding general under the present law
and the power heretofore unofficially
vested in the adjutant general
AS drafted the new regulations leave
little or noahing of the department of
the adjutant general or the Inspector
general Thed adjutant general will
keep the records as now and the orders
to the army will be the army will be
promulgated and published by him but
the chief of staff will direct the issue of
orders. He will be between the Pres
ident and secretary of war and
the army and staff will receive instruc-
tons and orders from the chief Of staff
in the name Of the secretary of war.
The chief of staff will have the su-
pervsion of the troops of line, will di-
rect military operations and in general
will be the most powerful officer that
ever held position in the army in
times of peace. Not only the purely
military matters supposed to be vested
in tint commanding general are given to
the chief of staff in the new regulations
but the supplies and equipments also
are under his direction.
The new regulations make the gen.
eral staff officers on duty in Washing
ton boards to consider all matters re-
curing investigation and reports in
GLIDING inspections. The general staff
will recommend officers for detail and
promotion and the enlistment and re
cruitment of soldiers also will be taken
from the adjutant generals depart
ment and given to the general staff.
An important feature not yet wholly
determined relates to officers detailed
from the general staff to the various
army departments. The regulations as
prepared provide that the officer so de-
tailed, either to a department or with
a division or brigade in the field. shall
become the chief of staff of the presid-
ing officer of the department or divis-
ion of troops operating in the field,
without regard to the rank of any other
staff officers in the command.
The committee hopes to submit a
draft of the work to General Young, to-
day, in order that he may send it to the
secretary of war before he leaves the
city. General Young will make n tour
of the Great Lakes, next week, leaving
here on Saturday.
