MANY METHODISTS.
Church Shows Prosperous Advance
in Past Year.


The Methodist year book for 1906,
recently issued from the press and
COPIES of which have been received
in this city contains a wealth of
information regarding the growth
of Method1sm during the past year
and the status of the church at the
present time.
The statistical report shows that
the membership of the Methodist
Episcopal church, practitioners in
cluded, has crossed for the first time
the 100000 line, which at the same
time denotes an increase over the
preceding year of 78, 900. The gain of
1904 over 1903 was 38, 2O8. The total
membership in the United States is
given at 1856, O78, Pennsylvania
having the largest membership with
over 329, 900 and Alaska the smallest
membership with II.
The number of parsonages has in
creased over LOO during the last
five years, there being 28,728
churches throughout the world as
against 1859 in 1901. These
churches are valued at $142, $50, 919,
an increase of nearly $22, OOO,OOO
over five years ago. The ratio of in
debtedness has been reduced from
eight and one-tenth per cent in 1901
to seven and one fourteenth per
cent on Dec. 81, 1905.
There are, under the direction of
the churches 80, 1874 Sunday schools
with 354, 402 officers and teachers
and 2, 872, 974 scholars. The report
states that while there was a do
crease of 1888 in the number Of Off
GERS and teachers in 1903, and III in
1904, The cause of which is not
easily defined.
This falling off in attendance
seems to have run its course, since
1905 showing an increase over the
preceding year of nearly 5000.
The report of the Methodist Book
concern, in the city of New York, is
one which is extremely gratifying
to the publishers, the sales for the
year ending October 81, 1905, reach
ing grand total Of 1884, 5000,
The statistical summary of the
educational institutions shows that
there are now twenty-three thee
logical institutions under the direc-
ton of the church, fifty-two colleges
and universities, forty-two classical
seminaries, nine institutions ex-
clusively for women, four mission
airy institutions and bible training
schools, and one normal university,
making total of 1872, this being
four less than were in existence at
the close Of the preceding year.
These educational institutions have
an enrolment of 3,463 professors
and teachers and GO, 914 students.
They have productive endow-
ment of over 100000 and a
property valuation of $21, 778, 1872.
The Epworth league, which was
organized in Cleveland, Ohio, in
1869, has experienced a steady
growth since that time. The pub
lication of the Epworth Herald was
authorized by the book committee
in 1890, and now has a circulation
of over 135, 900.
The year book gives interesting
and gratifying reports from the
hospital work, the deaconness' work,
the various children's institutions,
the training schools and a number
of branches of the work.

Answer by editor: II the gar.
den has not been grown up IN
crab grass, our worst enemy OF
alfalfa. this patch seems to be
the most favorable. The ma
nure that has been put on the
land will have the soil iuoculated
for alfalfa growing. aud the
clean culture that the potatoes
have presumably received will
have the land pretty free from
grass and weeds OF all kinds.
The prospect OF success on
the Ber nuda sod is not promis-
ing for fall planting. The other
patch, the one first mentioned.
might be made of service by
putting plenty OF work on the
