LOCAL PREACHEKS, ANNUAL MEETING OF THE NATIONAL CONVEN- TION IN JRENTON—TOPICS 10 BE DIs- CUSSED—OLD JOHN STREET CHURCH ANNI- VERSARY. The Methodist Church has an order of preachers known as “Local” in contradistinction to ‘Itinerant,’” Tne leeals may or may not be ordained; thero aro Loth kinds in the rauks, They do not make the mio- istry 1 means of living, but preach wherever they find an open door, with or without pay. Generally they are engaged in secular pursuits during the week, but give ther Sabbaths to the Church, either to supply pulpits tor pastors who may be absent, unwell or tired out, or to supply churches too poor to employ a pas tor, By their aid the Metnodist Episcopal Churen, an organization, 18 able to plant its standards anywhere and to organize societies where other denominations, trusting solely to their ordained ministry, would fail of success, By their aid John Wesley begun his great reform movement in England more thao a hundred and thirty years ago, and Methodism in America received 118 first impulse in this city from a local preacher, Philip Embury. There are, according to tho latest returas, 12,583 euch preachers im the Methodist Episcopal Church of America, They exceed the itineranis by 1,227, and tuough some hundreds less than they numbered a few years ago they yet sbow an increu: of 2,684 inten years, While the Church provides no organized system of work for local preachers it yet prescribes a course of study for the unordaimed Preachers on which they are examined annually when they apply for a renewal of license to preach, Oraination carries with it exemption from this course of study, though on what principle 18 not made clear, This stuay, however valuable in itself, aud for itsell, when muue 4 test of license for more than Bix \uou- sand men every year, has tended to retuce the num- ver of locals throughout the Cuurch, becuuse men who bave fora generation preached the Gospel with a measure of success will not now begin tne study of theology.
