Book excerpt: Excerpt from Journal of the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church: Held in Chicago, Illinois, May 2-29, 1900 Our topic is more specific. During the century the various Methodist Churches in the United States, all being derivatives from the one Church of 1800, have increased from sixty-one thousand communicants to nearly six million; that is, in a population which has increased fourteenfold the Methodist Churches have increased more than ninety-sevenfold. Com mensurate with this, or even beyond it, has been the increase of the Ministry, of Churches and Church property, and of Church literature. The Church school, which had no existence in 1800, has been founded, and in its various grades is now num bered by the hundreds. Meantime the great benevolences of the Church have been successively organized. Our mission fields are on all continents, and God grants gracious increase among many races. New philanthropies, exponents of the grace of Him who went about doing good, have risen in all our chief cities. The successive additions to the Republic, from the Louisiana pur chase to the islands and island groups recently acquired from Spain, have all been occupied by our vast itinerant system.
