signs of that change do not yet be
gin to appear. The effect of the
spirit of the age on Campbellism can
be only one. It must tend to lessen
the prominence once given to the
distinctive features of the movement,
and thus to bring it into greater sym
pathy with its kindred religious faiths
and practices. When these distinct
ive features of Campbellism are thus
worn away, its likeness to Baptistism
becomes more marked.
Fourthly, ,the history of similar
movements must throw some light on
the future of Campbellism. Here,
however, it is necessary to discrimi
nate somewhat carefully lest we con
found things which differ. Wesley
anism was quite different from Camp
bellism. The latter was a declension
from evangelicism among evangeli
cal people; the former was a restora
tion of evangelicism among a ritual
istic people. Hence Campbellism
cannot bo expected to manifest the
vitality which Wesleyanism has ex.
hibited. Again, Wesleyanism soon
took on a most compact and power
ful organization, but Campbellism is
inherently chaotic; and thus it can
not develop the strong permanency
of Methodism, unless it suffer radi
cal change. An histori
cal example, though not a parallel,
may be found in the history of the
New School Presbyterian Church in
the United States. This body origi
nated in 1837 from differences of be
lief on atonement and predestination,
and maintained a vigorous existence
till 1871, when it reunited with the
parent body by an agreement to
make the common points in the two
confessions the basis of union. Here
we see an intelligent body of Chris
tians consenting to relegate to in
difference, the very beliefs which
gave it being, and another 'equally
intelligent and more numerous body
of Christians likewise relegating to
indifference beliefs which they had
deemed of vital importance a gener
ation before.
An even more instructive example
is to bo found in the history of the
separate Baptists. This vigorous
and very successful body of Chris
tians arose because the Regular or
Calvinistio Baptist churches refused
to be moved by the great revival of
religion which swept over this coun
try as the result of the preaching of
Whitfield. They vMft compelled to
sepraate jfrom their brethren because
these brethren would) hot oountofl
ance their zeal in preaching the Gos
pel to sinners. They became Armi
nians, rejected the ordinary Baptist
confession, founded churches and as
sociations of their own, and enjoyed
most powerful and widespread revi.
vals of religion. But after a glorious
history of more than forty years, they
again found themselves united with
the Regular Baptists, accepting with
reservation tlio Philadelphia Con.
session. And their influence on tho
brethren with whom they reunited
was such that tho Philadelphia Con
fession became very liberally inter
preted (?) And at last was largely
supplanted by the much wilder Now
Hampshire Confession, and indeed
in some notable cases no confession
at hll was used.
From tho foregoing it would seem
that tho following will bo tho future
of Campbellism: First, tho move
ment will dividers even now doing)
and tho progressive and evangelical
party will bo disfollowshiped by tho
reactionary and unevangelical party-
Secondly, tho latter party will grad
ually dio out before tho advance of
intelligent piety. Thirdly, tho pro
gressive party will pass through ma
terial modification through its con
tact with evangelical denominations,
and through tho experience it will
acquire in its missionary operations.
(Even now tho missionaries abroad
have been obliged to require of can.
didates for baptism much more than
is required at home). And this mod
ification of tho original; distinctive
views will bringCampbellites towards
the Baptists.
Fourthly, the movement will not
be without its influence on tho Bap.
tints. They Lave already folt it
powerfully in some {States. Thus
when Campbellism becomes strongly
evangelical tho other differences
which separate tho two denomina
tions will not seem of vital impor
tance. (In a certain city in Illinois,
the pious, intelligent and sound Bap
tist pastor opposed tho establishment
of a Baptist church in a now part of
the city because already there was
in that part of tho city a vigorous
and evangelical Campbellite church.
Finally, th is gradually will tho
two denominations get together, first
through tho action of individuals,
then of churches, finally of mission
ary organizations. How soon that
will lie I shall not attempt to say
but it will not long bo delayed after
Campbellism has become strongly
evangelical. May that bo very soon!
Meantime the progressive and evan
gelical party in Campbellism may be
expected to continue to increase in
number and efficiency till it reaches
very large proportions.

PASTORS AND OHUROHES.
Enclosed find two dollars, my
subscription for tho dear old Index.
Although I am in Virginia, and am
specially fond of reading our paper,
the Religious Herald, yet the Index
is always full of tho very best read
able matter and of interesting news
to me. I learned to love the Inden

years go by.
lam pleasantly located hero in
Piedmont Virginia. My work seems
to be moving along quietly and sat
isfactorily. The people, not only of
my own church, aro very thoughtful
and kind to us. My health is not
very good at this writing owing to
tho severe and trying winter. Win
ter with us is - not over yet for the
snow is now falling thick and fast.
I want to say that I heartily ap
prove the suggestion, found in the
Index of last week; in reference to
pastorless churches calling, as pas
tors, ministers who are out of the
pastorate. Many good men, doubt
less, aro only waiting and longing
for pastoral work, but because of
modesty they remain in seclusion
and the longed for pastoral work
never comes. I am in favor of giv
ing every brother a trial. Man
knows not what is in man until he
has been put to tho test. Some men
start out in life very promisingly
and bid fair of groat usefulness but
ero they have advanced very far the
stamp of failure is set upon them.
Others start out under adverse cir
cumstances, not considered of any
force, nothing to stimulate and en
courage, no one to urge them on
and upward They have a rough
road to travel, but by-and-by you
see them climbing tho ladder of use
fulness and success. You look on in
amazement and say: “Who would
have thought it.”
Wo have hundreds of churches all
over our Southland to-day without
pastors, and, wo have hundreds of
ministers without churches. Why
not lot the churches and thLministers
comO together and go to Work for
tho advancement of our Lord’s king
dom on earth.
Yes call tho inexperienced if ho
has tho grace of our Lord in his
heart, and give him a fair show.
What if he does make blunders and
mistakes if ho is a man of God and
has common sense, he will overcome
these things and tho Lord’s work
will prosper in his hands. Then too
did you ever know a man in all this
broad universe who did not make
blunders and mistakes?
Tho churches, it seems to me»
have raised the standard, iu some
respects, at least above the ministrv.
The First church in X is without a
pastor. A committee is appointed.
A correspondence is commenced.
This committee is diligent in search
ing North and South, East and West
for a pastor, and by-and-by they suc
ceed iu wooing and winning a man
from some far off clime hitherto un
heard of. He takes hold of his now
work like a Lion and works like a
Tiger, and in twelve months dies
to the church, as a lamb, lie is gone
and is no more hoard of in these
parts. What is tho trouble, you
ask? Well, suffice it to say; that tho
harness did not tit. Ho was not tho
man for the place.
All the while there is a known
preacher in this same community
without a charge or pastorate, or it
may bo that ho is teaching and
preaching to support his family. Ho
has never had a fair chance to prove
himself, and very likely that if ho
had been called to this first church
in X ho would have filled tho pul
pit and the church acceptably.
Some of the disastrous and ruin
ous mistakes the churches of to-day
make in calling pastors, I believe to
bo this: The church in search of a pas
tor does not take the matter to God
in prayer as it should. I believe
that before a church calls a pastor
there should be some earnest
wrestling with God in prayer. I
furthermore contend that a church
has no God-given right to extend a
call to a minister to become her pas
tor until she has, as a church and as
individuals who makeup the church
earnestly asked God to direct her
in the call. I believe this lack of
prayer on the part of the church in
want of a pastor, is one of the cau
ses of much restlessness on tho part
of tho church. And, another inis-

take is; the church is in search of a
man, one with drawing powers,
whether those powers be consecra
ted to the service of God or not.
The church wants a man more
than they want a pastor. A pastor
must be a man but it does not fol
low that every man should be or can
be a pastor. The church wants, as
the people did in selecting Saul as
king, a “choice young man, and a
goodly,” but remember that Saul
was sent to hunt the lost asses and
not the lost sheep. I saw not long
since in a paper something like this.
Tho incoming pastor must be a
young man, without a wife, of fine
physique, well-bred, of pleasant ad
dress and handsome. Hence tho
conclusion that it was the man and
not a pastor this young church was
looking for. Such men are on the
market and can bo had by paying the
price.
Again, the church wants a man of
fine reputation or of great fame.
Few men, indeed, there are who
have fought their way to the top.
There are men to-day in high places
because of father’s influence. They
aro building on foundations laid by
ancestry. Many aro high up upon
the ladder were carried there by ex
ternal forces, and not by internal
powers. Why, here is brother A.

ment of the editors, and what they
see in tho paper they believe. So
have I great confidence in tho editor’s
discriminating powers, hence if this
paper is confined to the waste-bask
et, allright, brother, you know best.
But still I would urge you to write
along the same lines that you touch
ed on last week. I believe that
good would be accomplished, both
for tho church and pastor. And
again I repeat, let the modest, ob
scure brother be brought out and
give him a fair trial, this is nothing
more than right.

MISSOURI AND REVIVALS.
This is a great State for special
meetings. • Wo do not wait till “The
big meeting in August,” but start
January I*l, and frequently spend
the Christmas holidays “bringing in
tho sheaves” of spiritual harvests.
Slater is not much better than
other towns and cities and will serve
as an example. We observed the
week of prayer, the first week in
January this year. Tho Baptists led
off next day in a “short” series of
special meetings. We had three
meetings a day, through all sorts of
weather—except goo d—for four
weeks. The mercury sometimes reg
istered below zero and “cold waves”
chased each other. Dr. S. 11. Ford»
of St Louis, editor of the Christian
Repository, preached for us seven
teen days, the pastor did the rest of
tho preaching—twenty-three addi
tions and four more since—nearly
all by experience. It is a rare privi
lege to sit under the ministry of the
“grand old man” who has charmed
packed houses in Tremont Temple,
Boston, and tho Metropolitan Taber,
nacle, London, and acres of people
in the open air.
The Disciples began a meeting the
day we closed, and continued three
weeks. The Presbyterians could not
wait till the Disciples closed, so for
two weeks there were two meetings
going on. Tho Presbyterians con
tinue. The pastor said the other day
he thought he would close before Ju
ly 4th. So we have had meetings
every day this year, one meeting still
going on and the Methodists still to
hear from, —I saw the pastor the
other day and ho was “champing tho
bit.”
Kansas City had B. Fay Mills in
December for about three weeks ancl
2,000 were converted “according to
the cards.” I went up to hear him
and to study tho methods of a man
whoso evangelistic fame covers tho
continent. He manifests no special
gifts except to organize and to get
everybody to work and everybody to
bo worked. Every family in tho
city was canvassed by cominittioos
from the different churches. Ho will
not go to a city, I understand, un
less practically all the churches will
consent to work under the direction
of his executive committee. Ho
preaches very well, is not sensation
al, but plain and practical. There
aro a hundred better preachers in
Georgia, however, and several in
Missouri. Tho Mills meeting was
followed by special mootings in al
most all tho churches with good re
sults, —but something less than 2,000
additions. The Baptists are doing
well in Kansas City.
St Louis has led the world, I be
lieve, in fraternal, co-operative evan
gelistic work in her borders. The
pastors of the different churches, in
cluding even Campbellites and Epis
copalians, met t and divided the city
into sections and'arranged for meet
ings for each section at some central
place, all the pastors living in each
section doing the preaching for that
section by turns. These meetings
lasted through January,and were well
attended. They received much favor
able comment from the secular press
and some from the religious. Near
ly all the Baptist churches in the
city, held special meetings just after
these union meetings closed. A large
number of additions is reported.
Between these two great cities on
our western and eastern borders we
are, one and all, jonining in the spirit
of Sam Brown’s song, “Missouri for
Christ.” This good brother that
Missouri captivated from North Caro
lina, wrote this stirring song,—sang
it all over tho State, moving hearts
and money; and then published it
and sold enough at 10 cents each to
raise $2,500 for State Missions.
Let some one in Georgia try it on
“Georgia for Christ.”

WORSHIPING "IT.”
It is often said that man is a wor
shiping being). He was originally
created with longings for worshiping
God. Since man’s full, those long
ings have still remained more or less
strong and ruling. Man will wor
ship something, either a person or a
thing. Too often he worships an “it.”
And some times the “it” is a very
small object. Lucy Larcom, in her
late work, says: “Tho world is full
of little gods that make little men of
their worshipers, or that make them
something less than men. Books are
good, but he who gives his entire
affections to his books, becomes that
merest rustling shadow of a man—a
pedant. Art is beautiful, but the art
worshiper is liable to lose his man
hood in a weak,'washed-out dilettant
ism.” Architecture is one of the
noble arts or sciencies, and God gave
the early world sublime specimens
of it in the building of tabernacle
and tetnple, which ho designed that
his people 1 use means of
worshiping h’nf; but there is reason
to believe that some of the people
worshiped the temple instead tho
God of the temple. Certain it is
that not a few in these days worship
their costly and beautiful sanctuaries
more than they do God. There is
something of the pagan in many
who arc called Christians. They bow
before tho shrine of that which they
can see.with natural vision, and
which wakes their admiration, and
worship it. People generally wor
ship that which they love most. If
they have a great love for money,
they worship it. They may profess
edly worship God, but if they love
money more than they do God, they
will worship it, instead of him.
What they love most, they worship
most. The “it,” which they worship,
may be quite good in itself, but the
goodness of the thing does not atone
for tho lack of homage which they
owe to God. Personal goodness may
be worshiped, instead of the good
ness of God; and men do worship
their own goodness in preference to
any thing or any one else- Men
worship power. They have their
gods of power, in some form, and be
fore them they bow. The power of
God is good, but it is not to be wor
shiped: God himself is to be wor
shiped. Let us center our love and
devotion upon him.

ASKED AND ANSWERED,
BY C. E. W. DOBBS.
I am troubled about a question a
rising out of the assasisination ofPresi
dent Lincoln. I am but a school
girl, and cannot understand how such
a good Christian man as our United
States history says he was, could be
found in a theater while the country
was in so much distress. A theater
was not a nice place for a Christian
to die in, was it? school girl
We give place to this inquiry, even
though it has some what of a politi
ca4»bias. Mr. Lincoln was never a
member of any church, and if a dis
ciple of Jesus in heart, he was one
only secretly. He seems to have be
lieved in God and Christianity,though
the evidence as to the latter is not as
satisfactory as we could wish it were.
A great many of the anecdotes told
about his religious utterances are
pure inventions. We join in your
thought about the theater. Some
professing Christians see no harm in
it, but our persuasion is that the thea
ter is evil and only evil in its influ
ences on those who attend it. Cer
tainly such a time as that through
which our land was then passing
made it, to say the least, not a very
proper place for 3 Christian Presi
dent to be. We will add that we do
not approve of the tendency to sur
round political and other heroes with
an unreal glamour of excellence and
piety. We of the South have done
that, and Davis, Lee, Jackson, and
others are often accredited with a
religious spirit and conduct which
impartial judgment would not ac
cord them. In ail candor wo think
the time has come when the pulpit
at least should be free from such
glorification of our dead heroes. Bet
ter preach the gospel and its grand
hero—Christ.
Alas! alas! here is a long letter
telling of trouble in a church, and
asking for advice. But how can we
intelligently advise without knowing
all the facts iu the .ease? True ou|
Cijrrespondent
details, but he gives only one side of
the trouble. It is difficult to believe
that a committee of four discreet
Christian brethren would report, as
true, a “grave charge” against a bro
ther unless they had proof of it.
The simple denial of the accused can
not weigh against the finding of such
a committee. The fact that “Bro. E.”
became angry when the committee
waited on him is much against him.
Conscious innocence courts closest
scrutiny. To seek to avoid investi
gation is a confession of guilt. No
church can afford to overlook such
an offence as that charged in this
case. Just as wo had written thus
far our eye fell on the following para
graph in one of our Baptist exchang
es: “We hope that the brethren will
quit asking our opinion concerning
local church difficulties about which
we have no knowledge, except as
stated by one of the interested par
ties. Even if we were capable of de
ciding, we could not do it without
going into a full investigation of all
the facts bearing on the case. These
local questions belong to the local
churches.”
Do preachers generally memorize
their sermons? a. c.
On the contrary we suppose there
are very few who do. Perhaps most
young preachers, especially those in
college or seminary, do write out and
commit their sermons at first, but
the number is very small who contin.
uo tho practice after entering the ac
tive ministry. Indeed they have not
the time then to do so. Our opin
ion is that memorizing a discourse is
not the best way to prepare for the
pulpit. Such sermons are usually de
livered in a monotonous and unim
pressive manner. The best method
for most of us who preach is extem
poraneous speaking from thorough
written preparation- We say “writ
ten” because it is important. No one
can produce his best thoughts unless
given to earnest and patient study
with his pen in hand. If there are
exceptions to this rule, they must be
classed as exceptional. Get the
mind and heart both full of a subject
and it is little trouble to speak in
terestingly about it. That’s the se
cret. Still there have been preach
ers who were remarkable for their
power of memorizing. Os the cele

could repeat verbatim a sermon or
speech. But Andrew Fuller was
one of the most careful writers that
ever graced the Baptist pulpit in
England. He thought vigorously
and wrote closely. If his sermons
were delivered memoriter, it was
merily because his mind retained te
naceously and without effort the ver
biage in which be had previously
carefully clothed his thoughts. The
same may be said of the noted Dr.
G. C. Lorimer, with some feats of
whose marvellous memory we are

direction.

“Take therefore no thought for the
morrow; for the morrow shall take
thought for the things of itself; suf
ficent unto the day is the evil there
of.” Matt. 6: 34.
“And he said unto his disciples;

Our Lord’s exhortations are per.
plexing only because misunder stood.
Certainly he did contemplate an
improvidence that would be destruc
tive of all property and ruinous to
society. He never encouraged a la
zy disregard of the future and its de
mands upon us. The difficulty which
some see in the passages quoted oc
cur only to the readers of the old
version (commonly called the author
ized version.) The revised version,
the Bible Union version, and the ver
sions of most other languages convoy
quite a different idea. The words
take no thought, are incorrect ren
dering of the original, though the
rendering was perfectly intelligible
when tho King James version • was
made, for in Bacon, Shakespeare find
other writers of that perod, the ex
pression was used to convey the idea
of anxiety. Tyndale, and those who
followed him up to tho date (1611)
of our common version, translated
“be not careful” that is “full of care,”
or anxiety, Os course Jesus did not
mean that we are to exercise no fore
thought, and put forth no effort.
Trust in God, by no implies
the lack of these. Prof. J. R. Boise
says on those passages: “Be not
anxious; have no anxious thought, is
tho true rendering of the Greek; and
the force of the exhortation becomes
perfectly plain in the connection.
Wo aro exhorted earnestly, and with
striking illustrations, to a life of trust
in tho heavenly Father. What should
we do without such trust? What
comfort and what strength of char
acter do we find iu the exercise of
this trust! I cannot understand how
an intelligent human being can live
without it. The thoughtless, reck
less life of so many persons is to me
the greatest mystery. Let us be
thankful, if we have this trust, this
heavenly comfort. Let us read these
verses in Mathew and Luke again
and again in their connection, with
the proper meaning of the words in
mind, and thus be strengthened for
the conflicts of life.”
