DAILY CHARLOTTE OBSERVER: SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 14, 1885.
THE FIRST WETHODIST CHURCH
A Shrine Which Marks the Birthplace ot
American .Methodism.
fSpecial Correspondence!
Kiw Yoke, Nov. 4. One hunireel and
nineteen" years ago, on or near the verv
spot in Park place where the3e 14nes were
written, stcod the , bumble .little ons-story
house of Philip Embury, and here, on Oeb.
30 of that year, was held the first Methodist
service in America. The congregation, on
that day consistel of four persons Mr. and
Mrs. Hick, a laborer, and a colored woman.
Mr. Embury was a carpenter, and a native
of ,that green isle that has sent more Chris
tian missionaries through the world than
probably any other- land. Embury had
been converted to Methodism through the
exhortations of John Wesley on one of ' the
tetter's visits to Ireland. The anniversary
of this first meeting at Embury's was re
cently celebrated by a jubilee at the John
Street Mithodist church, in hls city, which
is built on the sits leased by Embury f or the
first MethoJiit Episcopal church in Amer
ica. After ; that memorable meeting at
Embury's weekly meetings were held in
a ringing loft .in Horse and Cart
lane, now William street. . Among the 4dU
senters,'1 as'they were then called, who con
gregated in thi3 loft was a Capf. Ihomas
"Webb, a British soldier, who aitsrwards
figured with Embury anl Hicks as the lead
ing zialous workers in the inte-esfc cf the
church. Their honest, earned efforts soon
drew around them too lar'se a congregation
for the rigging loft, so they leased a plot
of ground on, Johi$streeiy on which their
carpenter preacher, Embury, built a sub
stantial structure 42x60 feec in dimensions.
This he dedicated on Oct. 30, 1?G&.
THE
FIRST METHODIST CHURCH AND
PAR-
SON AGE IN AMERICA, 1768. ;
From this church Capt. Webb went out
as a missionary and organized churchas in
Philadelphia and Baltimore. To here also
came emigrants from the old country, who
settled around the church, soon making up
a prosperous congregation. Ihey pur
chased the property for 600 in 1770. In
1772 Francis Asbury began his ministra
tions here as pastor, and before the close
of his career he is said to have preached
possibly 17,000 sermons of the genuine old-
fashioned lengthy order and ordained no
less than 3,000 preachers. So this church
may truly be called the cradle of Chris
tianity a3 preached by Wesley. Though
Wesley did not honor New York with his
presence during his visit to America he
watched with interest the progress of this
Jo-lm Street church. In 177J he sent
them a clock from
England. This clock
with its wooden
works and ponder -
us , wei-hts-. still
iicks o.wa.7 behind
-he altar rail in the
basement of the
church. Its large,
open lace stares at
you as it did at the
generations past. It
is the same old clock
that measured the
length of sermons
tor many famous
preache r s w n o e"
voices have resound-
eu nere. lo many
of the old members.
and many have been
such for upwards of
fifty years, this clock
appears to beat at a
quicker pace than it
did a half century
ago. When they were
john Wesley's clock, young men and
maidens they still remember how painfuily
slow its hands moved during the sermon
nour, due now, tnouga tnese very same
hands are credited with keeping as correct
time as ever, they appear to spin around in
There are many other relics retained
with reverential care by the presenb con-
cremation. There' is still m use the altar
rail built by the first pastor. There is a
beam from the Wjili am street rigging loft,
and books and cards used at the first
church. There is also the first organ,
which was a French one about the size of
an ordinary melodeon, and a dangerous in
novation it was considered at the 'time of
its introduction. Under the basement? of
the present church rests the bones Of manv
of its earlier members, ana in its waL's
many memorial taDiew mscrioea 10
memory ol past bishops, pastors and promi
nent members.
CHE PRESENT JOHN STREET CHURCH.
The present church was built in 1841 and
is the third erected on the site ot 1 tnev one
built by Emburyv it is one of the places
of interest pointed out to sightseers coming
to the metropolis and to Methodists it grows
in interest from year to year as the first
mile stone in, their wonderful growth, as
the verv cradl of - their creed on this side
nf the Atlantic. Notwithstanding the
marvellous spread of this denomination and
the wealth of its members throughout our
ritv and country, it is not at all creditable
that this, its first church in America, is
obliged to beg for its very existence. At
this recent jubilee anniversary of the birth
of American MSChocusm, aiter justiy
marital congratulations on the progress o
the church and a recital of the glorious his
tory of this old structure, a patnetic appeal
was made for funds to kef 0 it alive. . Its
founders left, besides the choi-ch, two stores
as a source of revenue. These hare been
sold 1 to meet ; obligations. Now the old
church stands like a parent deserted by its
children, many of whom are more than
favored wifh - wealth. This is not as it
should be. Borne readers of this article
could without much inconvenience endow
little r.hiirch so that it would remain
ial to themselves, but

'Madam on the 29th of last May abxychlld
well developed in every respect was born In this',
city, bnt the "King of Terrors" began to chisel
about its little heart, and notwithstanding lti :
plump and vigorous constitution the poison In tha
blood soon began to manifest Itself in what the
medical men term "Eczema,' 'Pupura,' or 'HerecQ-'
tary Taint.' Some old 'mothers concluded the
child had the 'yellow thrash.' Yet whatever the
disease It was certainly a stubborn master for th ?
doctors. ,
The mother took the little sufferer to the coun--'
try, hoping that the pure fresh air might be bene-i-
nciai, and ir. , or laimberton. was , called to
treat the case. He pronounced it Eczema, and did
all he could for it, but to no purpose, any more
than to check the fever to which the disease sub
jected the boy.
"At the first frost the victim was again removed
to the city, and immediately Dr. was called '
and he pronounced the disease 'Pupura,' and pre
scribed accordingly, feeding up the disease on iron
and other minerals until the babe's mouth be
came so sore that for two weeks it did not nurse,
A friend suggested as a last hope and resort -1
MRS. JOE PERSON'S REMEDY.'
"All means of procuring any more help or medi
cine had failed, and In this hour of deepest de
spair the poor mother went and asked her drug
gist to let her have one bottle and one package of
the Remedy, and was refused, because she did not ,
have the money to pay for -it. She pawned her
wedding ring and raised $1.50 to pay for the medi
cine. ' ..
"When she gave the child the first dose, three
weeks ago to-day. the little fellow was a mass of
scaly sores trom the nips to the knees.and at seven
months old had never borne bisweight on his feet. .
To-day, by the help of God and a faithful adminla
tration of the Remedy the child is well and strong ,
in the legs, and last Sabbath morning while the
mother was weeping at the necessity of drying up
her breast, he took hold and nursed as strong and
vigorous as ever. The administration of the
Remedy is still kep up to effect a complete cure.
"Believing in its efficacy I have prevailed upon
Mrs. to take It for Inflammatory Hhnwa
tism. '
