Letter to a Ladies' Society.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES VA Oct 4th

FREDERICKSBURG, VA, Oct. 4th.
Within the bounds of our Presbytery
there are eleven ministers receiving aid
from our Home Mission and Evangelistic
funds. In every case, /. am sure, the in
come is less than it should be- And we
can on y hope to secure for them bare
living. Some of them have considerable
families-and such cases naturally ap-
peal to our sympathies more than others.
But the operation of our plan Of aid
from the Central fund tends to equalize
the support of our aided brethren-a
increases oar obligation to sustain that
Central find. 1 am satisfied that the
wlsest and best way to help these breth-
ren and the cause of Christ through
them, is by contributing to the Central
fund, and not to individual cases. The
money goes where it is most needed-no
one is overlooked. 1t makes the support
not spasmodic, uncertain thing, but
a fixed amount, to which he can look
with confidence. 1t comes to the aided
minister less with the appearance of a
charity gift-and more as the support
rendered by the church which ordained
him and sent him to his field 1t sup
ports the great agency of our Church for
missionary operations in the South and
West, and leaves surplus fund for that
work.
1 would be glad to convince all our
Ladies Societies that to enlarge the
Church's contributions is much more eOise
and 6enefcent than in giving to in
dividual cases. While it is true we
should gladly give, if we had individual
cases in extremity or suffering. Our
Presbytery hopes to make its contribu-
tions to Evangelistic and Home Mission
funds amount to $4,000 this year. 1t
can only be done by the aid of societies,
Sunday Schools, and special individual
contributions.
1 think a spirit of loyalty to our
Church, to the whole Church, to the plans
OF Its Assembly, to its agencies of benefi-
cence, to its great work in its own field
and abroad, ought to be cultivated in all
our Churches and through our society.
Very sincerely, JAMES P. SMITH,
Chm Home Missions, E. H. Presbytery.

propriety in also publishing statements
explaining the reasons why the vote is
thus and so, if the reasons are proven.
4. AS to my own position, which my
brother Price describes as, remarkable, !"
singular" and so forth, 1 have only this
to say:
1 am clearly of the opinion that the
Assemblys action should be sustained
and carried out in good faith. have so
thought since it was first taken. My
zeal in Presbytery was to defeat reso-
luton looking to recall of that action.
Securing this by handsome vote, l was
content. 1 had no zeal formally to en-
dorse the action. L did not think this
necessary. When the minority had been
signally defeated, 1 was willing to stop
| did not care to add any thing to their
discontinue. This may be remark
able" and singular" position for pres
byter to occupy, but [ fail to see any
thing blame, e,worthy, or even unbecom-
ing or inconsistent in it.
AS soon as the vote was taken [ feared
that my position would be misunderstood,
and took occasion to explain it. Had
the "ayes' and "noes" been ordered,
should have gone on the record as voting
aye on the proposition to approve the
Assembly action.
Deprecating the publicity which has
been given to my name in this matter
for 1 know that my views and position
are of no public consequence have
written only to prevent my own and
Presbytery's action from being misunder-
stood. Yours faithfully,
E. G. GORDON.

The Eldership.

MesSrS. Editors, primitive Church
was organized in distinct congregations,
each having a number of ordained Elders
in it, Of whom some were teachers and
laborers in word and doctrine. Besides
these local pastors there were travelling
preachers who passed from point to point,
holding protracted meetings. The more
we diverge from the primitive model the
worse for US. Presbyterian theory is
better than Presby terian practice. At
least one shepherd for every flock was
contemplated from the first. Now, in this
country, one to several distant congre-
cations seems to be the rule rather than
the exception. We cannot boast of it as
a happy arrangement, but must submit
to it as a necessity.
The primitive system is always deserv-
ing of attention as model for our imita-
ton. Uninspired wisdom is not equal
to the inspired. Expediency is dan
gerous guide 1t has led to innumerable
evils in the Church. The diversities of
form and custom that divide the Chris
tian host into so many sections are, to a
great extent, due to the influence of this
principle. Differences Of opinion in the
Interpretation of Scripture have created
a number of sects, and the suggestions Of
expediency have added greatly to that
number The result is very much to be
depiored.
Our constant aim should be to return
as far as possible to primitive principles
and practices. We cannot do this in all
things, because our circumstances and
conditions are very diferet from those Of
ancient times. Mere forms are not es-
sential, but they are not unimportant
The safety and purity Of the Church de.
pends upon our jealous adherence to that
simplicity which characterized the New
Testament Churches We ought to have
ordained elders and local bishops in
every congregation, who would really
exercise a pastoral supervision over the
individual members Our Elders do not
sufficiently recognize the Importance Of
their Office. If they did, other denomi-
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1882-10-11

nations would be more disposed to
initiate our example. The travelling
preacher is of inestimable advantage, but
he cannot possibly supersede the original
design of local shepherd in constant in
tercourse with the flock.
To meet the demands of society as
now constituted, it is wise to avail our
selves Of the practical wisdom of others );
but let US not cease to utilize the apos-
tolic plan by fostering as far as we can
the immense influence of parochial orga-
nization. The Elders must come more to
the front. They should arise as one man
to the great work confded to them
They should cultivate the vineyard at
their doors, "as good stewards of the
manifold grace of God" Then would
our Church flourish and blossom as the
rose" J. A. w.

and carry with messages of peace and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. invoking or expect
ing further instructions from the Assem-
bly, at Lexingon-unless their steps are
arrested by official notification that the
Assembly has ordered otherwise. 1 am
persuaded, and devoutly hope, that the
next Assembly will not disturb the set
tlement that has been made but if it
does, shall recognize its full and unques-
toned authority to do so, and obey its
mandate. Let us indulge the hope that
our honored brethren who feel aggrieved at
what has been done, will be persuaded to
acquiesce in the will OF what seems to be
the overwhelming majority Of the Church,
and cease the agitation of this question,
so that the peace that has been declared
may be cordially accepted on all hands
as an end of all strife between brethren.
Very respectfully, B. NJ. ESTES.
