Mies Gray mure than couth ms the f <v r able Impression made during former visits. Her reading is good, her voice 11 x ble, her declamation effective, and wholly free from the fault which attends over etraiulug, her enuuelali iu Is perfect, and i last, and chief attraetton of all,she possee- I see that wondrous gift In woman, a musl- I cal voice. Her personal charms are maul told, but these are secondary to her abili ty as an actress. Her “Camille" differs wholly from any Interpretation we have witnessed. It will bear favorable com parison with anything presented since Matilda Heron made the role famous. In I very many respects It Is superior to any thing we have seen tor years. The m»j . Ityof last night’s audience were familiar with the play; they were not surprised In ' to admiration by the novelty of thesltua- • lions; and ths fact that they attested ■ I their approval of the performance In fre ' queut and prolonged applause, lathe test ’ j evidence that could be given of their ap- II prectatlan. Miss Gray was called before the custaln at the close of the third act, when the applause assumed the form ot an ovation. She repeats “Camille" to night.

Tills year, 1884, is u great and notable one In the annalsot American Meth all rn. Il will witness the csjebratlon of tne one hundredth anniversary of the Methodlat. I Episcopal Church on this continent, and ‘s certain to prove a year of unusual ac tivity and profound Interest throughoui lhe wide—Ttentl-’d borders of that powe - tul denomination ot Chrlstl’ins. Ibe grand hidtorlu lasts relating to tfiebene tlceut character and wonderful achieve ments ot Christianity through the organiz ed plans and the doctrines o Metnodl-m during Its pathway through this century ot its existence in America, are truly obenomonal, as acknowledged by the ' world’s leading minds, and is one of the grandest problems ot the ages. With more communicants than any other religious b >dy In America, It Is a matter ot interest to briefly review some of the face of gen eral Interest connected with the history o, the Methodist chuich. Beginning In ub I scurlty and feebleness, It has achieved tor Itself every where a most wonderful suc cess. I'bis great religious movement has, immediately or ri m tely, so given an Im pulse to Christian feellug and professl n, ouallsidts, that It has come to presenl Itself as the starting-point of our modern religious history. lu 1784, tne year when the Methodist Ctiurch was organized In Baltimore, when U ke and Asdary were acknowledged and -ret apart ass’peiintendents, or bishops, there were only 14,988 membei e, 83 preach- j es, 64 church buildings, no mlsslotnirles, and no Institution of learning within the b unds of the denomination. But from that time until the present the growth ol Methodism has been almost incalculable. This result was achieved by men who can well be denominated heroes lu the loftiest sense of the word. Accepting ibe motto a John Wesley—-their cuurch’stounder— ‘‘The World is my Parish,” these mm of God traversed every state and teiritory of our great country, preaching the gospel with power and lu demonstration ot tlie Spit it—building up tneeuuich. Their en tire singleness o purpo e in spreading I the gospel has been their prominent char acteristic, and to-day Aiueilcan Method i-ui i umber-, wli liin her varl’ Ue branches 3,993,724 member., 25.839 traveling preach ers, nud 34714 church edifices valued at $100,009,001); 258 iustliutione ot learning. ,-n.b ae.ug uulv> rt i les, colleges, setnlua lies and high schools; in 1882 had 433 mis. olonatiesiu foreign field sent Horn Amer ica, besides 1.9J6 native helpers; and our lug that year contributed for the causeoi foreign missions tne sum ot $551,74i.4i. Th-M E. Ctiurcli.S mth, has prepared to j >in in the celebration of the centennial anniversary ol the organization of the Metnodlst Episcopal Oilmen to America," which will occur In Baltimore on Dee. 27 and proposes to commemorate the great event throughout its entire bounds with uit i ble sei vices and by raising lunds for educational purposes, church extension, , and missions—three noble objects to which the libel allty ol the church will certainly respond. Two millions of dollars Is the . amount proposed to be raised tor these objects, and that this purpose can be ac complished there suould be no etouDt; it . will certainly not exhaust the treasury’ll l this strong church with Hs nearly nine , hundred iliousauei members. i It may be in’•■resting to •ur readersto - recount what America’ Methodism nas - hitherto accomplished on her century oc . cantons. We first revert to the centennial . of 1839. As the first M->tho/.!ist society > was formed I” London In the month ot I NuVembei, 1739, so 1e39 became propeny . the one hundredth year ot Methodism. F. was accordingly celebrated In Europe and . America. During that centenary year, - with a inemberehlp of 749,216 members. including colored members and Indians, •he Methodist church In America raised $690,000 tor missions, educational pui p uses, and tor the support ot the worn-out 1 preachers, and the widows, children, and ’ orphans of preachers. The Wash-yan Methodists of Great Britain raised over 1 one million dollars for similar objects, The next Methodist centennial event i. was in 1866. It was in commemoration oi . lhe first Methodist preaching services i held In this country la 1766, and was celc / orated by the Methodist Episcopal i church tu 1866. Education and chui ch ex . tension were the great objects ot th.li benevolence, and $2,009,000 was suggested as the amount to be raised. Tne result was a magnificent one, the tha.uk-< {br ings amounting to $8 709 498,39. or mor j than tour times the amount proposed at the outset, The successful celebration of these two tot mer centenary events should certainly encourage our southern Methodist Irlends to the accomplishment as the noble deeds r they have essayed. Such a past ought tc ‘ be an inspiration. Able and competent committees have tine work in hand, and will spare no ef fort to successfully consummate ft.
