Methodism has been one Of the

preachers Of that denomination
set foot on these shores one hun.

1t was q new religion with all the
strength and ierver of the Oldest

There is much theology among
the Methodlsts which many 9th

which 1t would be vain to dis.

this church is divinely ordained
aud that its work has been bless.

there are 900 ministers and 92,.

the church property in this Con.
ference was $67l, 900; now it is
