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.

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. ' FEES C.
