MethOdiSm In Maryland.

The meeting of the many Methodist
Conferences in the Eastern States has
had the effect of bringing To the front
scraps of the early history of Methodism
in this State.
In Maryland was erected one of the
first Methodist Churches planted on
American soil: here Were held most of
the early conferences. and i'll Baltimore
at the Lovely Lane Westinghouse. was
held the famous meeting at which the
first Methodist Episcopal Church in the
United States was organized, and the
first two bishops. Coke and Asbury--
were chosen to have general direction of
its affairs. That occurred December p.
1874, and the event Is famous in the
annals of American Methodism. Gle

ference. Baltimore can thus be truthful.

aggressive working body. and from that
place went out many of those sturdy
pioneers of the faith who carried il in
To the wilderness of the West and
preached it TO the early settlers wherever
they could be found
Methodlsm got Its start in this coun-
try about the time when the American
Revolution was in full swing, and as
many of the early preachers were from
England, and were friends of the King,
they We're not always accorded the most
hospitable treatment. They spoke their
minds very freely, and on that account
were frequently made to pay for their
utterance. In their cases religious
liberation was only a name. Bishop
Asbury wrote: Il was fined near Balti-
more five pounds for preaching the
gospel" and Historian Scharf added
1T was with great difficulty the preach
ers could travel their circuits During
the war number of the preachers were
brought into difficulties and sufferings.
In April, ls1S, Joseph Hartley, one of
the travelling preachers, was apprehend.
ed i'll Queen Anne's county and after
wards i'll Talbot county, was seized by
the people and shut up in jail Freeborn

treatment, and Withdrew to Delaware.

The close of the Revolution put an
end TO most of these annoyances, and
Methodism then began in Maryland and
in other States IA growth which has con-
tinued without serious interruption TO
the present day. There have been divi-

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP

when | had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) actually
cured myself with one bottle of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy" says Frank
". Perry, Editor of the Enterprise,
Shortsville, n. Y. This is the honest
truth. at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking teaspoonful
of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night
would take dose and it seemed that in
the briefest interval the cough would
pass off and | would go TO sleep perfect
ly free from cough and its accompany
ing pains. To say that the remedy
acted as most agreeable surprise Is
putting it very mildly had no idea
that il would or could knock out the
grip, simply because | had never tried
II for such purpose, but it did. and it
seemed with the second attack of cough
ing the remedy caused il to not only be
of less duration, but the pains were far
less severe, and had not used the con
tents of one bottle before Mr. Grip had
