TENNESSEE.
The Presbytery of the Western District
is composed of eighteen counties, with a
total area of 8,573 square miles. Of the
374,294 people in the bounds of the Presbytery
only 59,736 are members of the various
churches, leaving 316,558 who are
not members of any church. Less than
one in six of all our vast population is a
iiiuicBDcu vuriaimu. ui tuose wno are
church members less than one-fourth are
active consecrated Christians. In all the
Sabbath schools of the different denominations
there are only 29,561 pupils.
There are more than three hundred thousand
persons in the Presbytery who never
attend a Sabbath school and with a
large proportion of these their failure
to attend is entirely due to the fact that
there is no church or Sunday school in
the community where they live. There
are many hundreds of families without a
line of God's precious word, or any relie
ious literature of any kind. Without ministers,
churches, Sabbath schools or Bibles,
what can we expect but that all
these many thousands perish in ignorance
of God and the gospel of His Son,
our Saviour. What excuse can we give
to our Lord if we fail to carry to these,
our brethren here in our very midst, the
message of salvation? Their hearts are
burdened with a consciousness of sin and
they are constantly pleading for the
preaching of the gospel. The fields are
white unto the harvest and souls are perishing
in this great needy Home Mission
field.
