Possibly people of wealth enjoy be-
ing preached to as the wealthy class
Possibly the highly educated, the adj
mittedly refined and cultured, enjoy be-
ing preached to as educated, refined and
cultured. Be that as it may, / am posi-
tive that the poor do not enjoy being
addressed as the poor.
The Methodist church was designed
for people-rich people and poor people;
educated people and uneducated people:
cultured and uncultured. But l do not
believe it was ever the design of God
or man that it should be the church of
one to the exclusion of the others. In
ray judgment, the only way to keep it
the church of all is to stop drawing dis
tinctions between the sons of men.
This country of ours has gotten along
pretty well thus far without class dis
tinctions, and God grant that this great
church, outnumbering in membership any
other Protestant body, with more uni
versities, more colleges, more academies.
more seminaries than any, with well
nigh as many as any other two-God
grant that this great branch of the
church, designed to preach the gospel to
man without distinction as to social
financial or moral conditions, may see to
it that within it's borders there shall be
neither rich nor poor, high nor low, bond
nor free"

GROWTH OF THE AUTOMOBILE.

U. s. Has as Many as France and Great
Britain Combined.
Last year there were imported into the
United States 600 foreign-made automo
biles, at valuation of $3600,00O. While
the number of cars imported was greater
than in the previous year, the percentage
of increase did not keep pace with the
il rease in the total number used On
the other hand, we exported last year
about 100000 worth of cars, largely
of the runabout type, which seems to be
finding favor in Europe. 1t is not likely
that this sum will be greatly increased
until after the manufacturers have
caught up with the home demand not
very immediate contingency-and have
a surplus on hand which must seek a
market. About $4,000 automobiles were
made in this country, valued at nearly
$3O,000,00O. At the close Of 1904 there
were about $4,000 automobiles In use
throughout the country-as many as in
France and Great Britain combined. As
it is estimated that about IS, 900 will
be made and sold during 1905, the close
in use to every thousand inhabitants.
New York now leads with $500 licensed
automobiles. New Jersey has 1920 and
Massachusetts $500. The East leads in
their use; the West leads in their pro-
duction. The State of Michigan is the
largest producer, the other States fol-
lowing in the order named-Ohio, Wis
consin, Massachusetts,, New York, In
diana, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, ILL
nois and Missouri.

volume Of trade emphasize well-main-
tanned progress A satisfactory gain
is seen over the corresponding week
last year, and the total for March,
1856, ,533, is fully 13 per cent larger

Steel Company, at Baltimore, is now
nearly complete. 1t is expected that Il
will be foated in May. The dock is for
the United States government and has

requires that it shall lift 16,OO0-ton
battleship, but this capacity will be ex-
ceeded, and its maximum lifting power
will be 10000 tons. The fiosting dock
contains 1000 tons of steel and has
1000, 900 rivets. 1t will require 40 tons
of red lead and linseed oil to paint it.
