Letter from DIR. Witherspoon.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 29th, "a.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. Goth, '84.
MesSrS. Editors, y our editorial of
the 23d inst. was so kindly in tone, and
its estimate of my Centennial Address
was so Enthusiastically generous, that
l am exceedingly reluctant to take is
sue with any position it assumes. But
how can | be content to see my dear
old friend, the Central Presbyterian, on
the wrong side Of this great question of
the rights of ruling elders in the gov
ernment of the Church? Why, to hear
you contend that the minister of the
gospel belongs to different order of
office from the ruling elder is enough
to make DR.. Thornwell and DR.. Breck-
inridge turn over in their graves. Is
it possible that the Princeton wave is
rolling down upon us so strongly that
even so mighty a breakwater as the
staunch old Central PRESBYTERIAN is about
to give way? Right up, good friends,
read the Esprit of the 18th Century"
over again, and come back to the old
landmarks. If the minister is of diff
ferent order from the ruling elder, how
can ruling elders lay on hands in the
ordination of ministers? And yet,
nearly quarter of a century ago, l
was set apart by the hands Of vener-
able ruling elders, most, if not all, of
whom are now in glory. And, as Tim
othy was ordained by laying on Of the
hands of Presbytery, what kind of a
Presbytery could it have been unless it
contained ruling elders? That the
minister belongs to a different class of
the same order of elders, to higher
class, to one deserving especial honor"
am ready to admit, but to different
order-never. And that this is the
doctrine of our Southern Presbyterian
Church is, [ think, apparent from the
fact that it is strongly and boldly stated
in a little work, "The Children of the
Covenant" prepared by me for our
Committee of Publication nearly TWEEN
ty years ago, adopted by that Commit
tee, sent out under its imprimatur, and
in so far as / know, never challenged
to this day.
But L did not propose to argue the
question, but only to remonstTate a lit
tie against this polar wave of Prince
ton Theology"
Yours in much regard,

ry, says he has asked for the minimum
amount, and that if less is granted some
of them will probably be compelled to
leave the field. Many other cases are
like this. They depend on the incoming

rect; or still better, give the money to the

have been recommended, get the benefit

the churches that have contributed to
this cause since May 1st, 1888, and will
send them to the chairmen of Education
in the Presbyteries.
Brethren, we rely upon your zeal and
love to the Master to secure from your
churches an amount sufficient to pay
these appropriations. Look at the figures
above. Have all your churches contrib
uted to this cause, and ought not some of
them to give more? Do not call this
begging. 1t is plain matter of duty to
give to these young men the assistance
they imperatively need, and which the
General Assembly has directed us to
promise them For ye know the grace
of our Lord Jesus Christ that though
He was rich, yet, for your sakes He be-
came poor, that ye, through his poverty
might be rich"

they know no man after the flesh, and
in imitation of the Master, can spurn
those barriers which separate their less
divine co-workers from their fellowmen
We reverence such, and are almost
ready to eXclaim with the heather,
The gods have come down to us in
the likeness of men" but the obstinate
fact remains that this class is compar-
atively small-the great mass are 'com-
passed with infirmity." We did not
say that that learning, knowledge
scholarship per Sc, dwarts the sympathy
with the lower classes, but that the
tastes, habits and social afiinities gen
Grated by our system tends to this
end. We take youth from the lower
classes and keep him in the academy,
college and seminary through years of
isolation, and he is n wonder, if under
the moulding influences to which he
has been subjected he is not trans
formed, and through the tastes senti-
ments and habits which gradually be-
come his second nature, he does not
take on new and incorrigible affinites,
and experience n rebelious aversion for
the rock whence he was hewn and
the hole of the pit whence he was
digged." You will possibly say the ex-
planation is lack of conservation. de
ficient grace. Be it so. But let US re-
member that while divine grace is al
mighty, yet omnipotence itself is re
gulated by wisdom, and in its opera
tions pays a prudent regard to human
intirmity and often Withholding its aid
when we would expect its cooperation
leaves us to work out under a divine
superintendent, the plans of heaven
through flesh and blood. Is it not bet
ter, more rational for us to adjust our
training, as the Bible does. to the
facts and not foster tastes, habits and
atf1nltles In the expectation that grace
will correct our blunCer by chastening
and cOnquering the second nature we
have created. Wesley well understood
the law of sympathy, and as he not only
took itinerant preachers from the pee
pie, but he sedulously husbanded and
stimulated their natural sympathy for
this class, by keeping them during their
training, and as a part of it in habitual
contact with the masses and all
churches act, and wisely act, upon the
principles we have elaborated in their
aggressive work among the heather.
But,
After all, this argument for change is
only subordinate and duriiiary, and ad-
dresses itself to the question of ex-
pediency The main issue in this dis
cussion is the Sc1fpturdL one-lohat does
the Bible sag? We have known but
one serious attempt to meet this issue
the prize essay-and this is so ex-
treme, reckless and impotent defaced
by such a parade Of learning and
wretched eXegesis and logic, that we
can but commiserate a cause that
takes refuge under such a shelter and
we feel sure that sober, thinking Chris
tians will revolt against this attempt to
tasten upon us ga yoke which neither
our fathers nor we were able to bear"
We are not afraid of the final issue of
this struggle if only we can arouse the
conscience of the Church to demand a

l.-Evangelistic Fund.

l-EVangellstic Fund.
The gentleman from Wisconsin who
last year offered to be one of ten individ-
uals or clubs to contribute $500 each for
Evangelistic work in our Southwest, sent
his contribution last month, and renewed
his offer for 1884.
On the last day of January, 1884, a
gentleman in Virginia sent his check for
$500 on that fund, and SO we are able to
report gain in the Evangelistic contri-
buttons of 1920 over the same month OF
last year. Other persons have sent sums
ranging from five dollars to one hundred
dollars, amounting, so far, to about three
hundred dollars towards forming a club
of five hundred dollars on the Wisconsin
offer.
A young man offers to be one of one
hundred unmarried persons to give forty
dollars each to the cause Of Home Mis-
sions during this year. And others who
feel disposed to take part in either OF
these schemes will be duly reported.
2.-Invalid Fund.
A falling off, as has been stated. The
Invalid year ends July 1st. The first in
stallments of the years appropriations to
the widows and orphans and to the infrm
ministers were paid in October. The
second installments fall due in March.
Those disposed to contribute to this wor-
thy object will please note this statement,
that about 81 900 are needed to enable
this fund to meet all the demands which
are to be made upon it during the nert
sigty ddyS. Churches which have not
yet sent in their collections will confer a
favor by doing SO very soon.
3.-Sustentation Fund.
Short this month, as compared with
January, 1888, by $3,449. Three thou
sand dollars of that shortage is accounted
for by the fact that legacy for that
amount reached the treasury during Jan
uary of last year. Some other extra
sums were given to this cause last year,
which will not this year be repeated, so
far as we know. 1t was hoped that the
January collection would be sufficient to
make up for these losses but the regular
contributions from churches, &C., for this
month are $449 short of what they were
last year. The weather has had some.
thing to do with this, for on the first Sab
bath of January the thermometer in
many parts of our field, ran from six to
twenty degrees below zero, and brethren
write that the congregations were very
small. The work which our Church is
to do for the year in building up her
young and weak organizations depends
chiefly on this annual collection, and the
experience of this month shows that it
will not do to suspend such a very great
matter upon the weather in January.
Will not all pastors and church officers
take the warning, and adopt some plan
OF reaching absentees, some system of
bringing out the gifts of their people
other than that Of mere collection from
those who reach the churches on the first
Sabbath in January? Brethren, some
other and better plan than that is simply
an absolute necessity. We hope that
many will yet make amends for the bad
weather. This must be done or impor-
tant interests must perish. One brother
who applies for aid for four ministers,
