No. A ^ Sketch of Methodism. The annual conference for IMS was held at Patterson beginning April 13th., Bishop James presiding.. This conference returned the Revs. A. K. Street and Joa. Uuklll, for another conference year. The Rev. Mr. Street who Is sUll living was there in the prime and vigor of his manhood; a clear logleaT preacher whose sermons were strong and forcible presentation of the truths of the Gospel as he believed and taught by the Method, ist Episcopal church, to which he was pre-eminently loyal, and when called upon (as he sometimes was), to defend her doctrine* and usages against the attacks of those who thought and taught differently, he always manifested a akili and valor equal to the occasion. Early In this year John 8. lleislcr was licensed as an cxhorter and near the close of the ' yeur Thomas S. Wilson was licensed to i preach; (whetner this Is the Rev. Mr. i Wilson who is still a member of the con- ' ference or not I cannot say but presume , it Is as be wat admitted in 1850. A , move was made toward the close of this year to divide the circuit but failed from lack of support. The next annual conference was lie Id at Burlington, April 18, 1840, when Bishop'Morris sent Revs. ■ John White and J. G. Summerill on the charge. Rev. George F. ifruwn, P. E. The estimating committee appropriated ♦802 5o for the salary of the two preachers for tho year. On the 80th day of March there was a resolution passed declaring it to be the judgement of the official board that there ought to be a new M. E. church built at Green* Creek, At the same meeting permission was granted Cape Island to withdraw from the old circuit and become a charge by itself. The next annual conference held 1 on Third street, Camden. N. J., April . 17. 1850, Bishop Hedding returned the Rev. Mr. White, associated with him the Rev. Samuel Parker, (the faUtcr of Rev. John 8. Parker, a former pastor at Court House). On September 31st at a meeting hclA at Goshen the following persons werfl appointed a committee to devise an<r carry into effect some plan that would advance the Sabbath school interests oq the charge, viz: Israel Townscnd, Jacob T. Price and Jesse H. Diverty. 8o far as we can learn this was the llrst 8. 8 committee appointed on the charge. Bel tween March 80, 1849, when the resolution named above in relation to building a church at Green Creek was passed and tly 14th of December 1850, tho church was built and dedicated but who the building committee was, what theebnreb cost, when and by whom dedicated, docs not apcar. (Will the recording steward of Tabernacle chatgc supply this date through the WaYi?) They evidently church records in those days without any reference to the future for there are none that any one of the churches on the charge had ever been dedicated between Hie yeart 1837 and 1850 except that of Goshen. The Sabbath school committee appointed the 21st of September. rc|Hirted at the next quarterly conference held at Green Creek, December 14. 1850, (this was the first quarterly conference held in this church), the following ' plan: That each preacher on the charge both itinerant and local should preach ' once al each appointment on the subject of Sunday school work, and that each j school should appoint ono of their num. whose duly it should be to visit all schools on the charge and make any suggestlras they might deem proper. In 1851 the annual conference was at Jersey City, beginning April 18th. Bishop Janes sent from confer- 1 ence tho Revs. Noah Edwards and J. 1 W. Hickman, (this being Brother Hick- 1 man's first appointment). Borne time ' thia year James Cornwell was licensed as an hxhorter, a position he held until his death wbiqh occurred In MajJ 1870. Brother CoraVeli was a man of ' great earnestness In religious matters al- ' ways throwing liu whole lout into the ^ Matter's work, often Uking bia coat off 1 during revival season! and laboring for ' together with the most intense earnestness, with and for those who were seeking religion, and no doubt many will stand up and call him blessed for the part he took iu their salvation. In the beginning of this year arrange- , menLs were made to build a new church | at Dennisville, and on the 15Ut of July , the matter came up and received ap- ( proval of the quarterly board then In session at West Crock. On February flth f 1853, (still the same conference year), | Peljr Bonder . was, upon the reoommen- , dation of the society of which he was s member, iloentod as a local preacher, j The Rev. J. W. Hickman was also by ( unanimous oonsent recommended to the ( next annual conference as a suitable person to receive Elders orders, and at the , lime a resolution passed that there ! should be a new meeting house built on , the present site of the old "Aabury.'' (Tho old building was sold to thecolorcd people who hired the late David and Andrew liecvea to move It to its present site in east Goshen where it is still occu. pled as a chutch). There were 18 Sunday schools reported this year with 150 , officers and teachers, 512 scholars. There were also reported 80 conversion stdong ] the scholars. After the annual confer- • held at Trenton, April 7, 1852, Iter. , Thomas Sovereign came on tho district i P. E. and the Revs. Edwards and Hickman were returned as preachers. On the 8d day of July, Robert Bay- ] more waa elected as steward, a place he ' filled acceptably for 85 years, being retired al Ills own request in 1878 In 1858. a committer was appoint- i ed to superintend the repairing of (lie ' old Ebenezer on the building of a new [ church in its place vlx: The Revs. Ed- , wards and Hickman with J. N. Tomlin , and Parsons Townsend. The annual i conference for 1858 waa held in the 1 Commerce street church, Bridgeton.cSu- ] mencing April 18th., Bishop Morris Rev. Charles 8. Downs and Samuel 1 Johnson to serve the charge. In July \ the quarterly board In session at the Tab- ; crnaclc church appointed the following ;

Missionary committee vhc At West Creek, George McKeag ; Leesburg. Na1B than Shaw ; Dennisville, Jesse H. Diverty ; Goshen Robert Baymorc ; Asbury, ' David T. Smith ; Court House. Charles Hand ; Green Creek, J. T. Price ; Tabcre ntcle, Albert Matthews. A tract society a waa in operation thLs year Elijah Townls send being appointed treasurer. On the ,r 24:h day of September the official board ' e of the circuit in session io the old Eben- : czer church near Court House passed ! . the following resolutions (which we copy a verbatim ): That regarding our license ' ^ law as a failure and believing all laws d not contemplating the prohibition of the u traffic will prove so, we do therefore |( Jtof 'lre, That we will use our influence II in every wise and prudent way to secure enactment of a law entirely prohibiting d the sale of intoxicating liquors as a beve ernge. Q "And there were cranks in those days'- . who believed that the sale and use of in. toxicants was wrong and ought to abole ished. The following is the S. 8. report H for the year: Number of schools, 13 ; !s teachers and officers, 128; scholars. 584; n nooks io libraries, 1200; expenses. ♦91.89; conversions, 7. After the appointing of U lhe ab°ve named committee in regard to the building of a new church or the e repairing of the old Ebenezer there is no further mention ever made as to when d the church waa built but we presume It was built sometime in 1854. Perhaps lf the records at Court House will show r_ held at New Brunswick. April 12. 1854. Bishop Waugh returned Rev. Mr. Downs , and aasociuted with htm Rev. Henry d Trumbrower. The question of dividing d the circuit rime up several timet during [. M'« year and finally in March 1855. (bed ing the same conference year), in antici- " the prospective circuit "Port Elizabeth" n anu two district stcward'appointcd Jas |f L. Smith for the new, and Jesse II. Div. , crty for the old circuit. At the annual conference held al New. d Elk, N. J., on the 11th of April. 1856, flflpthop James sent to the old "Cape May J Rrcnit" Revs- Isaac Hugg and Hamilton ,1 S. Norris. (This was tho first appointB .nent of Rev. Mr. Norris). This conferb ence detached from tho old circuit r Leesburg, Heislerville, West Creek and i Ewings Neck which became a part of • the Port Elizabeth charge. This divi- " sion caused two vacancies in the board of stewards which was filled by the apj pointment of Jacob T. Price and William 1 Few. The annual conference for 1850 , c was held at Newark, beginning April , , 9th, Bishop Simpson sent to the charge , ltevs. Mr. Hugg and Wilson. Rev. S. Y. I Monroe, I'. E. R P.

Whether you handle a pick or , ( a pen, a wheel-barrow or a set of books, I digging ditches or editing a paper, ring- , t ing an auction bell or writing funny , I things, you must work. If you look j around you, son. you will see that the of their days without work arc the men ' who work the hardest. Don't be afraid , , of killing yourself with work, son. It j ' is beyond your power to do that. Men cannot work so hard as that on the sunny side ol--80. Tbey die sometimes, but it . isn't because tbey quit work at 6 p. m. , <j and don't go home until 2 a. in. It is r the interral that kills. Work gives an i appetite for meals ; lends solidity to your , slumbers; it gives life appreciation of a t holiday. t There are young men that do not t work, my ton, but the world is not $ proud of them. It does not even know , their names ; it simply speaks of them t as old So-and-S's boys. Nobody likes e tbom, nobody bates them ; the great busy k world doesn't even know that tbey ate fa there. 80 find out what you want to be ( and do, son, and take off your coat and i. make a dust in tbe world.

J The free uae of onions for tbe table has j. always been considered by most people , healthy and desirable vegetable, and b but for their oder, which is objection. ,| able to many, they would be more gen- 8 eraliy on our dining tables. For cold on the chert there is no better c specific, for most persons, than well ( boiled or roasted onions. They may not agree with every oue, hut to most ( 1 persons wllh good they will not only be found to be a most excellent remedy for „ cough, ond the, clogging of the bron- |, 1 chial tubes which is usually tliecsuse of , ' tbe cough, but If eaten freely at the out- f( : set of a cold, they will usually break up ' what promised, from the severity of tbe | attaet, to hive been serious one. c A writer in one of our medical journals r recently recommended tbe giving of 0 young raw onions to ch ldren these, or c 1 four times a week, and when they get ' ' too large and strong to be eaten raw, r " then boll and roast them, but abandon g 1 theirfree.uae. Another writer, advocat- d : ing their use, says: During unhealthy 1, . seasons, when diphtheria and like con1 tagious diseases prevail onions ought to * be.eaten in the spring of the year at least P once a week. Onions are luvogorating n : and prophylactic beyond discm-Lin. I Fnrther. I challenge the medical ' fraternity or any mother to point ont a . place where children have died from 11 diphtheria or scarlatina anglnnota, etc. v where onions were freely useb. Spring Medicine. Tbe necessity of a spring medicine is tl • almost universally admitted. And tbe 0 1 superiority of Hood's Ssrsaparilla for r this purpose becomes more and more widely known every year. That poser 1to purify the blood, and those elements v 1 or strength and health which the system tl t craves, and to which it is so susceptible , at lli is season, are possessed by this pe- £ culiar medicine tn s pre-etnin- nt d-gt ee. '' Bcrtifula, pimples, bolls, or any humor, ft 1 biliousness, dyspepsia, rick headache, d | eaiaarh. rheumatism, or any diseases or , affections caused br promoted by impure blood or low state of system, are ' cured by Hood's Barsaparilla.

Dangerous Food Adulteration. rC , ts ottzar hskixc, idwdkbs. " If eontumers prefer to buy an adulteru ateil article of food because it can be n bad at a tower price they undoubtedly have the right to do sq. provided tho - adulters' e« are not of a character injurtf ious to health. If such articles are not c- Jalsely sold as pure snd the customer is .."TOt deceived as to lITcir real character, the transaction is not illegitimate. But the great danger io tbe traffic in '• aduKeiated food arises from the decepy tion that is practiced by manufacturers Q usually classing sueb goods as pure. This i» almost invariably done when tbe " adulterant i* one that is injurious to d health. For instance, manufacturers of d alum and lime baking powders not only e fail to inform the public of tbe real char- , actcr of their goods, but carefully con- '• ccai the fact that they are made from t- these poisonous articles. Most of these 1. manufacturers also claim that their articlea are pure and wholesome, while -omc go still further and proclaim bold- '• Iv that they are cream of tartar good*, d or even tiie genuine Royal Baking Powy dcr itaelf. No consumer will buy alum , linking powders knowingly, for it is well ' understood that they arc detrimental to " health. The sale of lime and alum bakIs Ing powder* as pure and wholesome arlicles is, therefore, criminal, sod it is '' sons engaged fn such sale have already ir been brought to justice in the courts. The offlcis! analysts have recently ,. been active in the pursuit of these <1lv honest articles. The baking powders of several States have been carefully and 5 critically exam ned. The officials are k surprised at the large amount of lime 1, and alum good* found. Il ls a augges- , tivc fart that no baking powder except the Royal has been found without clthtr '■ lime or alum, and many contain both, 't Dr. Price's baking powder baa been e found to contain nearly 13 per cent, of lime ; Cleveland's 11 per cent, of impurities; and phosphate powders over 13 'r per rent, of lime. c The chief service of lime it to add , weight. It is true that lime, when sub- . jectrd to heal, gives off a certain amount "f carbonic acid gaa. but a quicklime is b left— a caustic of most powerful nature. A small quantity of dry lime upon the tongue, or in the eye, produce* painful effects; how much more serious must fl these effect* be on the delicate memI- brant's of the stomach, intestines and .<• kidneys, more particularly of infants ... and children, and especially when the • inic is taken into the day after day. and " with almost every meal. This is said by »- phj slciaps to be one of the causes of ins, digestion, dyspepsia, and those painful diseases of the kidney* now so prevalAdulteration with lime is quite as >i much to be dreaded as with alum, which a has her, tofore received the most empbat|r tc condemnation from food analysts, . physician* and chemists, for the reason 1 ttiat, white alum may be partially disv «olved bv the heat of baking it Is impos"ible to destroy or change the nature of I the lime so thai the entire amount in the baking powder passes, with all Its injurII ious peoperlles, into the stomach. if The largo profits from the msntifar1. tttre of lime and alum baking powders liss placed many of them in the market. They arc to be found in the stock of almost every retail dealer, and they are c urged upon rustomers calling for baking powders bpon ail occasions.
