The Methodist church in the United States ceie-
bro+ed in 1865 the centennial of the first appearance
of Methodism on this side of the Atlantic In thaI
year the Episcopal branch Of the church gave 9lV'
600 900 to its institutions and benevolent enterprises
In 1902 the Methodist pisco@al church had at
its command a twentieth century thank onerihg Oh
s2OOOOOOO. The money was raised in four years.
and the story Of how it was raised has been told
again and again In the American Monthly Review
of Reviews for March however the Rev. j. NJ Buck
ley reports as to what disposition was made OF this
great fund.
Nearly s7OOO,0O0 was given to colleges and uni
versities sS3730 to theological semnares, and 81
1321O0 to seminaries and academies. The largest
sum given to any university was sl203SOo TO syria
university.
Ohio WESLEYAN university received $1,O92906; the
American university at Washington, D. c., s525OOO;
Cornell college. Iowa, s4O5,OoO; Allegheny college
Pennsylvania s910OOO Wesleyan university, Middle
town. Conn, s28775O; DePauw university, Indiana
s267 GOO: Hamline university, Minnesota, s25OOOO;
Boston university $3.50 900; the Womans college
at Baltimore S244000; Morningside college, Iowa.
$4,000 and Baker University, Kansas, $4,000
II will be seen by this that the money was dis
tributed among the as well as the older col
leges and universities supported by the Methodsts
Thirtyfour seminaries and academies and the
schools in India were the recipients of gifts under
the educational clause. New Hampshire conference
seminary received $780, 900; Grand Prairie seminary
Illinois, 1142O0; West Virginia Conference seminary
800 900; Centenary Collegiate institute, New Jersey
$4,000; Wyoming Seminary, Pennsylvania, $4,000;
Pennington seminary in New Jersey $4,000.
For various phantropies and charities, s2,519,761
was contributed and 100000 went into permanent
fund for the support OF WORKOUT ministers. The
fund to establish churches in destitute communities
outside of the ordinary work of church extension was
increased by $4,000. OF the thank offering, S9O09-
500 went to the payment of church debts.
Up to January 49, 1903 all of the s20S97,27O had
been accounted for, and DR.. Buckley says that IN
addition to this great thank offering the fixed charges
and benevolent collections of the church have
amounted to more than s20OOOO0O per annum.
In other words in the last four years, the Metho-
dist Episcopal church has expended over S1OO,OOoOoo
in religious and educational work

EMANCIPATION OF TIE HORSE.
Introduction OF Electricity Has
LLghtened the Animals Burden
But Not Eradicated Him.

Although the prediction freely made
few years ago that the development
OF electric traction would quickly drive
horses from the field of labor have not
been fulfilled, yet the Electrical Re-
view cites statistics to prove that the
disappearance of the horse is actually
taking place, although SO slowly as
not to attract much attention. In
E'ris the number of horses fell off
about six per cent. between 1901 and
1902. In London the decrease in the
same time was ten per cent. In Berlin.
Vienna and St. Petersburg a similar
falling off is shown by the census Of
horses. In New York it is estimated
that the number of horses has de-
creased 80 per cent. in the last 20 years.
But although horses may be relieved
"f the burden of hard labor, it. is not
likely that man will ever Danish his
ancient friend and servant wholly
from the circle of his pleasures. " y
