Address by the Her.

Blihop Ames, at
tne Ukntth Kx-
tension Society.
On Thursday evening of !at week, the Second
Annlvenary ot the Methodist Episcopal Church
Extension Society was held in the Union M. E.
Church, on Fourth ttrcct, near Arch. On that
occa'ion the Key. Bishop Ames delivered nn
eloquent and Interesting address, the publica
tion of which has been precluded by the
crowded state of our columns for the past few
days. Below we give this address which will
fee read with interest. Tha Bishop spoke at fol
lows: Mr. TresUlent: When the Gonoral Conference
of the M. E. Church assembled In this city and
In Ibis house, in the month of Mty, 18S4, they
found, of course, many important subjects do
n.andinp their atteiitiou; tor with the Rrowth
ol the Cbnrcb, its responsioillties to the world
constantly increase. More is demanded ot rlj;ht
from a church numbt'i inat oue million than
could justly be expected from a feeble commu
nion. Among tne various quest uus mat, came
before the b )dy was this matter of church
extension; and they bestowed upon the subject
feuch consideration as was practicable. It was
decided with great unanimity tbat tnis particu
lar department connected with our church labor
demanded tor its more careful Had efficient
management especial supervision, and with the
view to secure that supervision, and carry for
ward mme systematically and more economi
cally this great department of Chris'ian effort,
tnis Society that now meets this evening to hold
its anniversary was constituted, though hinder
ing causes prevented the full organization ot the
Society until come time after the BOasion of the
General Conference.
1 need not ety to an audienoe of Americans,
that the matter of providing comfortable
litiurs of worship is one ot great interest to
n, both as citizens and as Christians. Not only
the country in which we live, but the Govern
ment under which we live, are remarkable
and somewhat peculiar. When our re vol u
tlonary fathers decided it was not in the power
of a State to make the Church, they took a
long step in Btlvaace. For almost the first time,
Christianity on this great continent has had a
fair field for the display ot its power and energy,
untrammelled by any legislative or political in
terference. In ail lha older nations of Chris
tendom, the Church aud the State are so
blended together tbat they hardly deem it pos
sible lor one to exist without the other.
We have in our country two matins which
are peculiarly American. One is that the
people are above the State for they make it.
We do not hold that men in the civil offices
give us our rights. Our rignts antedate the
Constitution, and the Constitution itself Is
but the embodiment of the judgment of the
ublic as to the rights which belong to citizens
iving in the civil estate. This U one of our
max ms. The other is, that the Bible is above
the Church, since the Church grows out of it,
and derives all its sanction from it.
It is true that Christ and the Apostles built no
churches, founded no institutions. No splendid
churches sprung up around the path trodden
by our Saviour and Ilia disciples; no schools of
learning, no hospitals for the sick, no asylums
for the blind. But great principles touching
faith and morals were plauted in men's con
sciences. Tiie gteat Teacher taught us; and we
therefore preach, and all that shall come after
us, that the first duty of man individually is to
seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
After this, next is the performance of the duties
that be owes bis Maker and tee securing of the
bles-ings vouchsafed to bim personally; then all
other things shall be added to him.
Hence, it has been the maxim which has
govt rued the Methodist Episcopal Church in
America, and Wesleyanisin -In Europe, and
throughout the world, tbat the Brit work of
the Christian minister is to lead souls to
Cb ist. Tne Orst object he has to contemplate
in his million, is the lending of men and women
to Ct net as their Saviour; and having organize!
thore who trust in Christ into a Cnurch, they
hold, in our confession of faith, thai "The visi
ble Churchrit Christ is a congregation of faithful
men, in which the pure Word of God is preached,
and the sacraments duly administered according
to Cbrift's ordinance, in all those things that of
necessity are requisite to the same."
Having done this, then come those natural
results o! accepting a pure faith, a pure morality,
accompanied Dy a quickening spirit, a power
thai bringsinto actlveemploymentallthe higher,
the purer, the nobler faculties of mm.
Our lathers preached the gospel as the apos
th s preached ft. Thev preached it on the banks
of ttrcams, they preached it in private houses;
thev pr achpd it wherever they could go, every
where, by the wayside, and in the synagogues
when allowed. So the first pioneer. of Metho
dism proclaimed their ministry in these pro
vinces of the Britlbh kicedom until, as Mr. Wes
ley 6aid, "God so strangely made us free."
The matter of Church extension, of course, U
no new thought. Tbe records of the Govern
ment show the part which has been played by
tbe various churches in this great work of
making provision for the religious instruction
ol the people of the land.
And perhaps there is no one thing that better
evidences tbe intimacy of that connection
which binds tbe Church to the community than
the favor which God gives to the Church t i
tecuretheaid from the community needed to
cairy forward this (rreat interest of Christianity
and of the community.
The Government, for the fiist time, in 1850
directed its agent to examine this particular
matter ot church edifices, their cost, their capa
bility, their ownership. And in remarking what
I wish to say upon this, 1 choose rather to take
the statistics ot the Government than those of
tbe Church. , ,
Peinapa we are dlpposcd to view with too
much complacency our own work in the mat
ter. It is rather customary in certain circles
among us to say that "Methodism la the child
of Providence;" aud somellmes we place the
accent on the definite article In such a way as
to make the impieibion tjiat Providence has
no other child whereas, in all truth and can
dor, we must ackuowlclge that Providence hss
a pretty large family. There are innny children
that can claim Provit'euue as their parent; and
yet, perhups, there is this to justify us: Kor
Burnt of the older members ot the household
looking upon it as rather an interloper, and
harr.ly entitled to the privilege of kinship; and
perLap anerry at the peculiarities ot ma imam,
were disposed to leject it altogether. 8o far
from aimiiting it to b the child of Provi
dence, tooi very unkindly called it the child
ol the Devil, almost. We can hardly be sur
prUed it thry had such leellngs. It was a sin
gular kind of infant in some of its habits; a
most restlehS and itinerant youngster, that
greatly disturbed the order of things as they
had been long established. In honest truth,
they were establUhed a litile after the manner
of the honebt wagoner wnom traveller in a
very muddy road in one of the frontier States
came upon, and found with his team stuck fast
in the mud. BMng rather a practical philoso
pher, he did not Beeru to be particularly out
of patience or nervous; but sitting on a log,
was contenting himself with wbistline. When
the tiaveller came to him, he said, "My friend,
how are you getting aloue?" He replied, "I
am not geiung aioug much, but I am es'a
blihed." And that soemsto bo about tbe way
In which a great many thing were established
id those days. And yet, all pleasantry apart
ar-er dwelling together as members of a com
mon hou-ehold lor one hundred years I think
we have ccme to understand each other better
and without questioning whether this child of
Providence is legitimately entitled to claim the
parentage, we have all entered a better brother
hood as members of one household. Tb.ou.eb.

the world. But I cannot help, as I fee them in
their various department, lelln a very rtionir
attachment to one nt them that "cms 1o step
out wltn a little quicker trend; tbat goes across
tbe marshes, and through the swamps, and up
the mountain brow, with a little more energetic
movement;' and when it overtakes and cap
ture the dinner, 'bouts out a little louder orer

am pleaded to be associated with her in her

Jn 1860, according to tbe statistics furnished
by tbe Uiitod Btate, we Bud that there were
then in the United States and Territories 38,183
churches. Tcte embrace all tbe churches of
all certs and denominations Romish churches,
Jowlfih synagogues, and Protestant houses of
won-btp are all summed up in this general
rebult. Of this number (38,1831, there were
13,338 bouces of worship that belonged to the
Methodist Church. This was the large fraction
ol -over one-third of the whole number. Kor If
tou take 13,338 from 38.183, you will find the
balance belonging to all other churches in the
country 1o be 24,845, showing that a nunber
equal to one-halt of all the rest were Methodist
churches. More than one-third of the whole,
13,338 compared to 24,845, being the relative
numbers 1
Having had my attention called to the reror Js
fiiBtmaiie by the Government in 1850, 1 felt a
great interest to see how this important pait of
our Church work progressed from 1850 'o 1800.
I visited the Department of the Interior at Wah
lngton twice to procure the earliest copy of the
census that contained the Church statistics; and
the Secretary was kind enough to promise, bo
eoon as they were ready, to send a copy. I lelt
the name of Dr. Eddy aud others, including my
asbociates, and I believe thpy got the figures as
soon as I did. I went over the figures furnished,
to find what tbe different Christian churches
were dolrg. I found the summing up to bo
64,009 churches. This also embraces, as the
other census, all churches of all ktnis; not
merely Christian, but Jewish as well. Of those
64.C09, I found that 19.935 belong to the Metho
dist Church; that is, about G5 more would have
been one-thud of 60,000. The whole number was
64.009; the whole increase was 15,826. Ot that
16,826, the increase of Methodist churches was
6497; and all others increased 9331. Thus, more
thHn two-thirds of all tbe increase in church
buildings Irom 1860 to 18G0 were in the Metho
dist Church, and more than two-thirds ol ail t
In further examining these tables, I was
greatly surprised at their result. Tbe churches
rank numerically about In the following order:
Tbe Methodist, the Baptist, the Presbyterian,
the Congregational, and the Episcopal. I took
the four next; tbat is, I took the census ot the
Baptist, the Presbyterian, tbe Protestant Episco
pal, and the Congregational, to see bow they
were advancing compared with our own. I was
never more surprised at a result than I was to
discover that whilst our increase bad been 6597,
the increase of all those four churches had been
but 8J79. That is. if we had built 61 nori
churches, we ehould Lave built just twice as
mauj as most: iour next largest aenotnina'tons,
1 was not at all prepared for this. I confess It
was hiehly gratifying; but to me it was hierblv
instructive. I must not be understood as speak
ii.g of the Methodist Episcopal, but as of the
Methodist Church, em bracing all its departments.
1 had the curiosity to see how those churches
were distributed; for a great deal depends upon
the right location of a church. As much, I
think, depends upon the church taking up a
good position in its aggressive movements, as
upon mi army occupying agooi position in
its aucres'lve movements. I selected the four
large Btates, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
auu iinnuis, mainly to see now these Churches
are situated. New York, as it has the erent
commerc.al emporium, is the principal State of
tne union, wun a territory extending alunc tbe
lakes, and running down to tide-water; aud it
has the natural basis lor a vast population,
when you take into consideration the great
agricultural wealth ol the State. The ciet
Keystone State, stretching from the tide-water
at Ihiladelphia to broad .Lake Erie, with erreat
Tnoantains in the centre; with immense mineral
wealth, its bread and beautiful valleys, and
tbe preat lumber reeions, you will se what
must be tbe positiou of Pennsylvania through
all coming time; and how important that
tbe cause of Christ should be supported and
maintained in sucn an important Mate as this!
Then striking westward, you bave. the third
State, Ohio, tpreading Irom the valley of the
Ohio up to the bas'n of the lakes, embracing
oue of the mast delightful champaign districts
In the world, the most del'gbttully situated in
the Union, which has made it the garden of the
whole land.
Tbe most wonderful State that the sun shines
upon is tbe State of Iluuots, stietching
alone its southern (herder from the Ohio to
the Missltbippi, aud northwaid to the lakes.
1 have no doubt it is capable of supplying
all the citizens of this nation with bread, and
then be able to ship a supply to Europe. It
It was cultivated as Holland is, it would do it
any year.
II jou win taire tnes iour great States,
you will nnd tbey are tbe loins of the
Union. They must always rema n the great
ceutreof the nation, because of the boundless
resources they contain.
now in tBese states were 1U,H33,312 inhabi
tants, according to the last census. Of course,
tbey have greatly increased, but they are tue
last statistics l nave nao. i toot- the four
leading denominations to see bow tbey have
been acting in regard to thee four important
States; Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, and
the Protestant Episcopal churches. I deemed
it not lair to bring the Congregational church in
this list, because their strength is mainly in New
tingiano, ana a comparison outside would not
be a fair test. But it is more than just to the
Protestant t plsropal Church, for the wealth of
iheir great corporation in New York has given
them their greatest influence in that State, by
far greater than anywhere else. It was emi
nently lair to the rresbyterian Church to take
Pennsylvania, because Prcsbyterianlsm was
planted here by wttberspoon from Scotland. It
was fair to tbe Baptists to take Ilhuols, because
there w as a large branch ot the Baptist popula
tion in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia,
which colonized in that State.
The Methodist Church, in any case of the
comparison, had the disadvantage of laboring
under inauspicious circumstances, l took
pains to run over the figures before I came here
this evening, and I found there was 4815 Metho
dist churches, 2093 Baptist churches, 1620
Prebyteiian churches, and 774 Protestant
Episcopal churches; giving the Baptists, Pres
byterians, and the Episcopalians 4493 altogether,
and giving the Methodists 322 more than them
all. I merely cite these facts to show the re
lative position in which the churches stand
throughout the nation, and in these four great
centtal Slates in particular.
In iefereuce to the movements of this Society.
As I said, the Cbuich Extension work is no new
thing; but it must be obvious to you, my hearers,
tbat where a Church has such an immense iuteresU
as this, it is a matter of the hist Importance that
it should be wisely guarded and eflicieutly pro
secuted. For we have in tbe United States
3,600,000 and more square miles, and of this
three and a bait millions of territory mentioned,
more thau one ball of it, according to my present
recollection, has come under the jurisdiction of
the Fedeial Government bioce 1810, as ttiei'ii
menpe territory ot Texas, New Mexico. California,
and the Kussian Territory lately acquired, so
tbat we bave not yet pushed the days of chivalry
for Metlodisui.
Tbe fcenes er acted here eighty years a?o are
being reduplicated over the broad-expanse of
the valleys beyond our distant mountains. - The
old stories of the past which you and your chil
dren hear are the passing events now traus
piring with tbe prosress of Methodism through
out this vast republic. I epeak of things I have
rf cently seen. I had tbe privilege, tbat Bishop
Asbuty might have envied, of joining, about
the 1st of last July, in holding a camp meeting
at tbo foot of Pike's Peak, and of looking up at
the hoary mountain, upon whose head the suo w
has never melted siuce the first flake fell.
Though I cannot ray much about the eloquence
ot the preachers, the old moautain precti'd
mostgraudly. There I found a minister doing
hi duties at nearly eighty years of ago. 1 tra
velled tour hundred and eighty miles with the
old minister ami huA i hn nlpasure of camping
out about four thousand feet above the level ct
the if a, and or crossing tbe mouutains next day
whcie ihe mow was lour fcet deep, aud the o!4
brother was nnt as happy, I think bppr, than
ant ot you herein your rich churches.
lie bad many tales to tell me ot e ty o'nk
for they brought to his memory many in ildoia
of li e among the n otintatn. Polutinc t some
point near the peak ct Lincoln, whtoli Is the
highest In the liocky. Mountains, he said, "1
had a bad time oncn in the winter of 1802. No
cue would cPiry the mad through the winter,
and tbey came to me to ask rce if I would carry
it." Paid be, "I had to carry it on my hack,
wearing Swedish mow-shoes that were ten feet
long and five inches broad. My colleague says
ten inches lone, but I say ten feet Ion?, for I
taw tbem. My colleague only knows by hearing
of them; but my eyeo have seen them. You will
readily understand how awkward and cumbrous
tbey are. Wi ll," he said, "I started from
Clotcr Gulch lo go over to Buckkin Le lee"
not very classical names to give to localities
"aud there came up a most dreadful storm;
I never did see it snow so. The storm
cane in Lead nays; and the wind, which
had been my guide for awhile, was no
longer auy guide, for it took to blowing in
elides, and the mow came so fine I hud to
keep my hand over my mouth to keep from
fuffocating. I lound 1 was lost, and I didn't
know w bat to do; and it was so bitterly cold. I
thought I must try to get over the moun'ains.
At last I came to a bit rock, leaned up against
it, and marie a little irayer, and thru I thought
I could make the ripple. Aftcrstruegling along,
I found at last 1 was on the top of the moun
tains. I started down 1 hat Gulch yonder, trying
to croes from South Peak to the high Peak of
Blount Lincoln, and the first thin? I knew my
foot went down. I knew then where I was.
There was a precipice there of sixty feet, and it
was tilled with new snow. I knew tbat if I fell
into that (-now it would be all over with me. I
lustantly threw .myself back, and catching a
bnow-rlioc under each arm, held myself as firmly
as I could, and lelt it to Providence to guide
me. Down I went, swifter than a locomotive,
it seems to n.e; if I had struck a rock, I soou'd
bave been killed. I made that dreadful descent,
ai d my mail was sate, being strapped to my
back."
You think It Is a great matter to help these
Foor frontier men to build a church. I wish
had a letter here which I received from tuts
old man ten days ago. "We are building a
church," says he, "and I work all day and
preach at night. I hopetoeet a snug church
here, but it is hard work." Those are the kini
of saeribces tbat our brethren by scores and
hundred are makiner, from the Gulf of Mexico
up to the Kocky Mountains.
Do not think that this nation is yet supplied
With all the churches that it wants; do not
think that these ministers and laymen who sit
here in their offices on Arch street, have no
thing to think about and plan about; do not
Imagine that because we have twenty thousand
churches, we do not need any more. "If we had
twenty thousand more to morrow, we should
not have more than the people demand and
more tbun we could fill. Do not allow your
zeal to cool; but use your utmost efforts aud
activity to further the cauee. I do not feet
that, with the presence of the Secretary and
my liiond, Dr. Eddy, I ought to detain you any
longer in remarks of this kind. I think you
will all agree, whatever you may think in
other respects, that it is a duty re-ting upon
us, as the people in a free Commonwealth, to
plant churches in these remote and destitute
regions; and to send out missionaries to gather
the people together aud to train them up for
God.
Meeting of the Hokticultdhal Society.
The mouthly exhibition and mated meeting of
the above society was held last evening in their

TJurcd States Bonoed Warehouse of Henry
Wallace & Co . situated on Front street, below
Walnut, was placed unler seizure by the Phila

the i remi.-es durlns the night, and were relieved
yesterday morning by other revenue inspectors.
Some seven thousand barrels of whisky are
alleged to be in bond on the premises of Wallace
& Co. The proprietors ot bonded warehouses
bave recently been compelled to wake new ap
plications to have their premises bonded under
tbe new regulations of the Treasury Department,
whicn requires that no rectifying shall be done
on tbe premises. It is said some objections hive
