was planned by Barbara Heck, shows
most conclusively the influence that
women have welded in shaping the desti-
MES Of the great Methodist church.
Inasmuch as Methodism was born in
university. it is quite natural that much
of its work should be along educational
lines. The first Methodist school in the
United States was Cokeburg College, at
Abingdon, Md. about twenty-five miles
from Baltimore. One Of the most nota-
BILE schools in the world is the Methodist
College for Young Ladies IN Santiago
Chile. With possibly one exception. this
is the only missionary venture in the
world which earns a profit, and sends
money home instead of being q constant
drain upon our purses. 1t is high-class
finishing school for young ladies 80 the
first families of the land. When l Was
in Chile the three daughters OF the Presi-
dent Of that country were in attendance
at the Methodist college.
The stronghold Of Methodism in the
United States may be said TO be the six
States of Pennsylvania. Ohio, New York,
Illinois. Indiana, and Tennessee. The de-
nomination has about 60.000 churches In
this country. once. when an infidel con-
ference. presided over by Robert Ingersoll
prepared q resolution declaring Christian

sent this telegram: Dear Bob: We're
building two Methodist churches a day.
Among the noted MethOdists OF history
were Presidents James *. Polk, Ulysses
s. Grant. Rutherford 3. Hayes. and VIII
liam Mckinley. DIT Edward Tiffin, the first
governor of Ohio. was a member Of the
denomination. and so was the late VIII
liam Henry Milburn. the blind Chaplain
Of the United States Senate. Miss Frances

worker. was the greatest woman the

camp meetings We're inaugurated. The
first Of these was held in August, 1893, at
Muddy River, near RusserviHe, Ky. In
1900 the revival idea swept through Ten
nessee and Kentucky, and so great was
the religious fervOr that many of the PEN
itents were seized by a peculiar malady
known as the Jerks" Peter Cartwright
was described as having set Illinois and
Indiana on FIRE with his revivals.
Many of the churches in those DAYS
were only arbors. or log cabins at the
best and the faithful circuit rider rode
his sturdy horse hundreds OF weary miles
in going from one meeting to another
William Gannaway Brownlow attracted
national attention as a circuit rider before
he gained fame as a journalist. and he
was the first circuit rider 20 be elected TO
the United States Senate. The strenuous
ness of the times is indicated by the sig
nifcant postscript on a call for a minister
from a remote Tennessee district, in the
early '30s.. which said: please send US

II is a notable fact that the first sun
day school in the world was organized by
the Methodists The founder of the first
class was a woman named Hannah Ball.
This was fourteen years before Robert
Raikes opened his famous school At
Gloucester. Raikes got the idea from

woman, whose name was Sophie Cooke
