THE METHODISTS.
The coming general conference of
the M. E. church at Saratoga, N. Y
to convene May 1 and last for four
weeks, which will be attended by a
couple of Albany people, one as a
delegate, is of general interest.
This delegated body of over eishl
hundred ministers and laymen in
equal numbers meets every four years
to review the work of the church and
to revise and add to its legislation.
The General Conference is made up
of delegates from the one hundred
and thirty-three Annual Conferences,
the Annual Conference being the
working unit of Methodism.
The first General Conference of
American Methodism was held in Bal
timore, Maryland, in 1792, at which
all preachers in full membership of an
Annual Conference were eligible. The
first delegated General Conference
was held in New York City, May 1
22, 1812. At this Conference the first
Episcopal address, an utterance which
his become of increasing importance,
was delivered . This Episcopal ad
dress is now accepted as the official
declaration of the church on import
ant theological, administrative, and
social problems. At tie General Con
ference held in New York City in
1844, the agitation over slave-holding
became so acute as to result in
plans for separation between that sec
tion of the church in the North and
the section in the South. The Metho
dist Episcopal church, South, was or
ganized in Louisville, Kentucky, May
1, 1845. .
Methodism began in America with
the arrival of Philip Embury and
Barbara Heck, Irish immigrants, who
were enthusiastic in the propaganda
of their faith. John Wesley, who was
the founder of Methodism in England,
remained at the head of American
'Methodism until the Revolutionary
War severed relationships between
England and the United States. All
of the- preachers witlr the exception
of Francis Asbury returned across
the sea, whereupon, September 1, 1784,
John Wesley ordained Dr. Thomas
Coke to be superintendent or bishop
of the Methodist societies of the Unit
ed States of America. There arc now
twenty bishops and seven missionary
bishops serving the Methodist Epis
copal church throughout the world.
The former are elected by General
Conference and located for periods of
. four yeacrs each in cities which arc
designated Episcopal residences. The
latter are elected by General Confer
ence for continuous service in specific
fields.
.The Methodist Episcopal church
was organized at Baltimore, Mary
land, at the so-called Christmas Con
ference, December 24, 1784, to Janu
ary 2, 1785 At that time there were
104 preachers and 18,000 communi
cants. There are now over 15,000
preachers and 4,033,123 members. In
the early days of the Methodist
church the salary of a preacher was
$64. If married, he received the sim
' ilar amount for his wife, with $16 for
each child under six and $22 for each
child between six and eleven years.
Among the important matters that
will come before the General Con
ference at Saratoga Springs are the
questions concerning organic union
'-with the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, which has been under discus
sion with both of these important
branches of Methodism for some
time; the question whether the church
shall elect Bishops for races and lan
guages; the election of bishops to
take the places of those who have died
during the last four years and those
who will retire from active service
'automatically by reason of this scs-
sion being nearest to their seventy
third birthday; the election of editors
for the church press, which includes
the Methodist Review, the numerous
weekly Christian Advocates, the Ep
worth Herald, and the Sunday School
publications of the church; the elec
tion of corresponding secretaries for
such church boards as the board of
foreign missions, tlic board of home
missions and church extension, the
Frcedmen's Aid Society, the board of
education, the board of Sunday
Schools, etc.; the election of publish
ing agents of the Methodist Book

Some one says there was more busi

now. Let's see.
Twenty years ago the deposits of
the First National Bank were $307,
000, with total resources of $324,000.
Now they are approximately three
times that. Those of the Cusick bank
have also increased that much and
we have two more banks. Then the
post office receipts were between
$8,000 and $9,000. Now almost three
times as much. These are splendid
indications of the business of a city.
Things are quiet just now, but isn't
it probable that the total business of

Speaking of education; Students
do well to go just as far rs they can.
The best college education is none
too good. It means success in life,
when backed by judgment.
So' far as morals and religion arc
concerned, though, it is very doubt
ful if it conduces to the advancement
of cither.
There is a big screw loose in insti
tutions of learning that do not seek
to build up character as well as In

MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS
Surgeons state men nrc slightly
more subject to appendicitis than wo
men. Albany people should know
that a few doses of simple buck
thorn bark, glycerine, etc., us mixed
in Adler-i-ka, often relieve or prevent
appendicitis. This mixture removes
such surprising foul matter that ONE
SPOONFUL relieves almost ANY
CASE constipation, sour stomach or
