A Great Day for Methodism

TOHN WESLEY would not have believed
q 1t If he had been told that an office build
ing, costing 100000, would be put up in this
city in the twentieth century for housing the
chief organizations of the Methodist Episco-
pal Church in this part of the country.
Methodtsm has expanded beyond the
dreams of its founders 1t is the largest
body of Protestant Christians in the United
States. numbering more than 1000 900 In it's
different branches. 1t exceeds the Baptists,
the next largest denomination, by 1000 900
communicants.
The building at 18th and Arch streets is
the visible embodiment of the material
strength of the church as an organization.
Their meeting houses testify in brick and
stone to the substantial quality of the Meth
odist people, but they stand for the separate
churches The new building is evidence of
a still more substantial unity which holds
the different churches together It might
be called the seal of the confederation as
well the seat of the authority which
directs all the activities of the separate
members It's dedication yesterday called
together distinguished Methodists to glory
IN the growth of their great society, and it
afforded an opportunity for representatives
OF the other denominations to show forth
that fellowship which exists among all
Christians
