WESLEYAN METHODISM.

IL-PitoaßEss ako Present Position.

While Wesley lived, Methodism wa» sn autocracy; after his death, it became an oligarchy. The power which he had wielded alone, he committed to the preachers. The latter have been very successf al in. keeping it; and Wesleyan Method'sia, at least, re mains an oligarchy stlil, Attempts on the part of the laity to obtain a share in the government have canaad endless conten tions, dissensions, and more than one seri ous split; but till within the last few years in England th» ministers remained true to their Toryism. At length however, cooler counsels prevailed, and hy men were admitted to some small share in the direction of the work of the coanexion. This concession, only wrung after years of debate, was of the smallest. For the ad mitted laity are in no sense representative. The method of selection is not by popular vote, or by vote of the chosen of tha people. The system is a Bham, which will have to be reformed before many years have passed, As soon as Wesley was no more, this momentous question had to be faced, "Are the Wesley ao» to continue to be members of the Church of England ; or shall they ttrike oat an independent csuwe for themselves ?" t s then constituted they were a cumber some adjunct of tha Anglican Chuich, having a complete and distinct organisation of their own. Their minister* did not how ever, as a general rule, admiuister the sacraments, and tho services were not allowed to clash with church kours. With these exceptions they constituted a church by themselves. Their attachment 10 the KslaDlished Church • could not ba vety cordial in view of the treatment Wesley and his preachers and followers had sys tematically received thence for fully fifty yeais. 'ihero could be but one raply Jtn the question in the long ruu. The High Church party, as that was termed, which was for union with the church, might prolong the struggle, they could not effect its ultimate resuh. Long befere Wesley died the separation was practically accomplished, Ac a loyal churchman, lit might dream of a continued existence for his sect in some sort of union with the mother church; but by bis minute organisation, providing for the remotest contingencies, be was actually widening the breach day by day. Aa has been well faid, he resembled a rower with his eye fixed on a certain point, from which, however, each stroke of the oars carries him further away. Had the church authorities made advances at thi« time it v difficult to imagine what xomplications would have arisen ; but they do not seem to. have cared a straw what became of Wesley's 71,000 followers. So the latter, prospering and increasing in spite of troubles internal and external, grew.into a strong independent church. The question or tiw. »A«ii»»-uotlon- of tW cacrammto by Wesleyan ministers was not finally settled, for a number of jours. It is a fact worth mention that many old Wesleyans only recently deceased remember the time when a clergyman of the JBstablithed .Church, attirtd in full canonicals, attended at some "of the Wesloyan chapels to admin ister the Lord's Sopp-r. ''The position of Wesleyuns has always been a« anomalous one: they have stood midway between the Church and Noncon formity. They were not members of the .Establishment; and they had a decided objection to being called - Dissenters, With the movement in favour of dis establishing the Anglican Church they have shown little or no sympathy in a body. But we are convinced we are right la saying that now the tendency of Wesley an Methodism is away from the State church towards the Dissenters; and that in the future they ■will occupy a less reserved and passive position with reference to the politics of the country. That is, they will come forward and take the place they ought to have occupied long ago. At the Conference of 1800, the number of Wesleyan Methodists in the British Isles was 109,751; in America jand other places 13,717. At the Conference of 1882 the numbers were given as 434,407 for 'Great Britain and Ireland. There were 1549 ] ministers in full connexion, and 81 oa trial. The increase here stated is in round numbers 400 per cent, for the eight decades. The Key. fS, Leigh was the first Wesleyan missionary sent to New Zealand, and he landed at the Bay of Islands in February 1822, The next to arrive were the Rev, Messrs Turner snd Hobbs, who were passengers by the Brampton In 1823. The valley of Kaeo saw :tne first Wesleyan station in this colony; and it was characteristically called " Wesley Dale.". In 1855 the JS'ew Zealand Wesleyans counted 20 English ministers, 234 Maori teachers, 503 European church members, and 3070 Maori members. Growth since then has been rapid- so far as the work among the English is concerned ; the other side of the field of labour has not evinced anything llko tha same success. We should like to see the reasons for this failure candidly and fully explained. The number of Maori memb:rs has dwindled down to the insignificant' total of 366, against 3,070 in 1855. Of European mem bers there ore now 4,800, including those "on trial;" a net increase on the year of 554. Comment on these figures we heed not; they will be examined and explained in great detail during tbe meetings in con nection with tbe present Conference ; an 4 a great mass of other statistics relating to finance, etc., will also ba brought forward, ••

One important fact muet be mentioned before this paper is closed. It is in America that Methodism has flourished most, It took root there early;' when it had the whole field before it unencumbered with rivals, and not unnaturally it went ahead in an araaztng manner. The present position maybejudgedofbythefollowingststistics:- The Methodist Episcopal Church of America, includes. 24,431 preachers, 12,620 being local and 11,798 itinerant, distri buted, in 95 conferences. These con ferences are presided over by 13 bishops, who are aided in their ministrations by_ 456 district superintendents, called priestly elders. There are 1,711 churches, aud the preachers are paid, on the average, £140 a-year. They preach to 6,000,000 people, of whom 1,723,147 are full mem bers, 179,029 probationers, assisted by 94,132 stewards, 85,270 leaders, and 31,131 Sunday-school superintendents. The 1,743, ---147 members give to connexional funds £180,000, and for other purposes £1,780. ---000-an average of about £1 ' 15s ' sd. The negroes of the States are gathered into a number of flourihing churches, The African Methodist Episcopal Church counts 400,000 members j while the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church has 300,000.

It was computed in ' 18S1 that the Methodist churches of the whole world included 4,767,810 enrolled member*, with 31,477 itinerant minister*, and more than 85,000 local preachers. This is one way of conveniently stating the results of the work which John Wesley began at Oxford not yet a century and a half ago,
