Destitute Churches and Ministers
In a former number of the Sun we noticed the
scaroity of ministers among us as a denomination.
Thoughts then expressed have led us to serious
refleotipn upon this subject. There are not only
many new fields already ripe unto harvest, inviting
dur reapers to enter; but there are many places
where Churohos have been established and houses
erected, congregations gathered, and an influence ex
erted,'now destitute of preaching. They are panting
after Christian preaching; they want eP Christian
minister to feed and nourish them. When once the
free and liberal principles of the Christians have been
received and imbibod; they are hard to eradicate
g, and most difficult to remove. There are in many
places brethren of our order who still hang and hold
on to onr pjjnciples and doctrines who rarely ever
have an opportunity to hoar them preached or de
fended. This destitution in«our Church is growing
worse and worse every year. A lack of ministers
is experienced more and more every year.- Young
men coming into the minfstrindo not more than sup
plyathe places made vacantly the deaths of old
< ministers, and new fields necessarily draw off some
from the old Churches, thus producing constantly
greater and greater destitution.
Now, the question must arise to every reflecting
mind how is a clieok to be put to this destitution ?
This leads us to enquire if these destitute Churches
really and actually want to bo supplied with preach
ing. Many of them tell us they do. We believe it.
How ^en shall they be supplied? Let us look
round and enquire. Tills is a grave question, and
should not be lightly passed over. Upon^ it hangs
• much of onr future prosperity and success as a peo
ple.
If wo enquire wo shall find that although so much
destitution is manifest among us; and so much lack
of preaching exists, there is still a goodly number of
• ministers, unoccupied and unemployed in the minis
try.. But/ew of our ministers compared with the
whole number reported are actively engage'll. It
may in truth be said, that a majority of those wjjo
have been ordained to the work of the ministry have
left and a»e now pursuing other occupations. Some
are farming, some following mechanical pursuits,
praticing raSdiffne, teaching School and merchandi
ring. Can it be that these brethren have changed
their occupation by choice ? Can a man who has
onee felt “ wo is unto me if I preach not the gospel”
willingly and of choice leave oft’ preaching, and en
gage in another occupation? Have they become
tirod pf the work ? Such cannot be the case. There
must bo a cause for the course they have pursued.
What ip that cause? It is bard to believe any man
would engago in a labor requiring so much self-de
nial as the work of the ministry from impure mo
tives. Nevertheless, there may be, and doubtless
aro some who do. Such mpy very .conveniently
change their occupation ; and the sootier all such do
change the better for the Church of Christ. But
/ we firmly believe that rn&st of those who engaged
lu the (Jnnstian Ministry intemieu to pursue it.—
They were actuated by pure motives ; and from a
deep conviction of duty to God and the world. If
this be true Jhe queftion again comes up with re
newed force why have they changed their occupa
tion! Why have they turned to their farms and
counting rooms to teaching and practicing medicine?1
Why is there such a destitution among tho Churches
and so many fields of "labor unoccupied? Let nsr
enquire into these things.
IJy enquiry we shall find that most of those minis
ters who have relinquished their calling and enga
ged in secular pursuits have been driven to it by
Bteru necessity. It has not been' a matter of choice
with them. Most of them have families; wives and
children near and dear to them. They have failed
to receivo a support for them by preaching. Every
year they have become poorer and pooFer. And
with their povery has .pome an increasing want, and
an increase of expense.
They have become entangled with debt; and
unable to pay; and stern unyielding necessity, has
forced them from tho gospel field. These are
facts i&owh to our brethren: Hence* the deati
tution in our ministerial ranks and the constant cry
■for preaching among our destitute Churches.
In the early history of the Christian Church; a
war was waged against an hireling ministry. Stated
salaries were condemned. This teaching.'was so
much in accordance with the feelings of covetous
.- lukewarm professors that they embraced if and run
away with it; and soon found themselves far in the
other extreme; even forgetting that tho laborer is
everywhere esteemed worthy of his hire. Those
who preached against preachers receiving regular
salaries soon wore themselves out nitd left the
Churches to whom they had preached to look out
for other ministers or dwindle and die. Some
Churches raised up ministers among them who had
farms or means by Phich they could sustain them
Belves and give {heir service to the Churches. As
this class of ministers have gradually sunk in their
graves, others have attempted to keep up the chur
ches planted by them have ■ failed to get a support,
reduced themselves to poverty,and bankimptcy, have
become discouraged, and Ugve left the gospel field
and engaged in some sejular pursuit, qgsolviug to
preach all they Urnld on Sabbaths and at homdl
They have soon found their minds divested from
the proper channel of preaching, and have gradually
ceased their labors even on the Sabbath and atliome.
This is a l^hentable: state of things, yet it is so; and
it should afford ns no commiseration to know that
the same thing is experienced by some other de*
aominatious. ' Ip
May we not now ask how are our ministers thus
cut off from labor in tho gospel vineyard to be
drawn out again and our destitute Churohes supplied?
' We answer' remove the causq rfnd the offect will
cease. Take the burden off tho ministers shoulders
and let them once more stand erect. This the
Churohes must do or this destitution ^fill remain.
* Onr Ohurqhos need new schooling,their policy needs
changing This must bo done, or we shall not
stand when We are but beginning gradually to de-‘
ciine. Those Churches now distitute of preach
ing who are ablo must make up their minds to
engage a minister and support him. This many
of them can do if they, are willing. Small churches
who are unable to support a preacher alone can
unite together forming a small circuit and unitedly
support a preacher. Again large and wealthy
Chdrches who have regular preaching should con
tribute of their funds to assist weaker societies,
and thus all may be benefitted. Cur present ac
tive ministers should be and must be sustained
and kept in the field. The rising ministry must
be well provided for, and more allowed to retire
from the field from actual and pressing necessity.
These remarks are intended to be practical.
We are not laboring to build up an useless theory,
but to acc&mplish practical good. We have long
grieved over the destitution in our ranks ; and are
fully convinced thaf-nothing but increased liber
ality on the part of our brethren can ever pro
duce much amendment to the evils we endure.
We cannot longer allow our delicacy to close our
mouth and trammel and enslave our pen. Our
ministers must be sustained and supported, or
our long cherished hopes will eventually be blas
ted, Our Churches must learn that they aro not
to expect prosperity without complying with the
gospel requirement and paying the laborer his
hire. They must be taught that it is wrong to
“ muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn,” and
equally wrong to perish the preacher who minis
ters to them the bread of life. They have tried
the star ving system long enough to see that it
does not work well, and.never can work well. It
Is contrary to nature and natures laws oris con
tr^j-y to God’s laws, and should be' immediately
abandoned. If'we had the means to liwe without
anyr aid from the Churches we would not consent?
to give our labor to any Church able to pay for
it; and it may be propel to add here that we have
never exercised the pastoral care over any church
that would desire it. If a man’s preaching is
worth hearing, it is worth being paid for ; and no
strictly pious man would desire to have a minis
ter labor for his good from Sabbath to Sabbath
and not to remunerate him for his labors. Our
young Chinches should be instructed to com
mence right to obey the gospel rule at first and
give according to the ability God hath given them
to the promotion of his cause and the spread of
the gospel. These thoughts are submitted to our
brethren with a sincere hope that some plan may
grow out of thega to aid our destitute Churches
and ministers. Let an effort be made, a plan de
vised, a rule adopted and there be a system and
arrangement in it, ai d we can succeed in calling
forth our inactive ministers from their retreats and
engage them in the work of the Ltrd.

GLEANINGS.
The new Chapel, for the use of Fellowship'
Church near Lebanon O., was dedicated on the
3d Sabbath in June. Elder John Phillips preached
the dedicatory sermon. ’Elders Maple, Nixon
Jmd Fithian participated in the exercises. Elder
■J,. *T. Lyntl is the pastor of the Fellowship
Church. *
Elder C. A. Morse recently visited the new
resting place for the remains of Elder Joseph
.Thomas, and sitng Elder Ellis “ White Pilgrim,”
and composed another piece about as good as El
der Ellis’. We presume our publishing agent will,
give it to us.
Elder D. Long one of the strong men of the
West, advises his brethren to let Slavery and the
Fugitive slave law alorfe in jjpir Conferences; and
let them be purely religious bodies. There is
good sense and sound judgment in such advice.
The corner stone of the new house of worship
for the Christians at Yellow Springs Ohio was
laid recently. The following was the order of the
exercises. Reading hymn by Eld. J. G. Reeder;
Address by Prof. Doherty; Prayer by Elder II.
Siraonlon and the benediction by Elder D. F.
Ladley, Pasfor. Elder Doherty’s address is said
to^bavoLeen a splendid effort.
“ It must be done as I say, or 1 wont help
you,” is. clearly manifested in Elder Gardner’s
pledge for Antioch College now being published
in the Sun. A refractory spirit lias ruined many
goon undertakings. Rule or ruin is i he watch
woid of some men.
$553,have been subscribed in three weeks in

Wksley’s Argument. I beg loavo to propose a
shot1!* clear, and strong argument te prove the di
vine inspiration otjjie holy Scriptures. The Bible
musl^be the invention either of good fnenor anjpls
bad men or devils, or of God. It could not be
the invention of good men or angels, for they
neither would nor could .make a book, and tell
lies all the time they were writing it, saying,
‘•Thus saith the Lord,” when it was their own
invention. It could not be the Invention of bad
men, or devils, for they would not make a book
which commands all duty forbids all sin, and con
demns their souls to hell to all eternity. I there
fore draw this conclusion, that the Bible must
have^een given by divhiednspiration: John Wes
ley.

From year to year :

INTELLECTUAL PREACHING,
The two idols of the age, are money and intel
lect. The latter is the more powerful, but they
both exist at the same time, and work often in the
same direction. They-honor and elevate talented
men. S.uch men are called for and rewarded.—
This is the taste of the age; and ministers are
trained under this, and in conformity with it. It
all goes to make us think that intellectual men are
the great demand of the times. * The preacher
would not indulge in4complaints, butt his was a
thing that theological professors felt as deeply as
any find pastors felt it too,—The results of this
tendency of things were,
The piety of the churches dies out under intel
lectual preaching. They may not know josbwhat
it is that ails them, "but they knew that they are
failing. The scintillations of genius and intellect
have no powes to warm them indo life, any more
than the pale cold light of the Aurora Borealis
has warm into life afrostbound vegetable king
dom.
This kind of preaching takes irom us the only
peculiar power which ministers possess.—We
ha*e a superhuman work to do, but are shorn of
the tmly power by which it can be accomplished
The preacher w%uld suggest, whether the undue,
exacting of the intellect was not one reason of the
absence of revivals of religion.
The cure of this evil rests in a great measure
with the churchas. Let them-inqure for men of
piety, good sense and zeal according to knowelege
And Ut us who are in the ministry act upon right
principles, and cot speak'dtsparagingly of small
ministey, as they are termed.
Lastly, us have full faith in the power of a
preached Gospel- Paul, it would seem, relied too
much upon intellect at one time. He made a
great speedh at Athens, but it did do good,—no
body was moved or convinced. Soon after tins
| he. came to Corinth, and remembering his past
i failure he said, I determined to know .nothing a
! mong you save Christ and him enfeifiud.—No
j more of man’s wisdom—none but Christ,—This
is the one thought around which all* preaching
! must centre. The cross—this reveals all we know
of God’s plans . Hence, if possessed of a right
spirit, we may find rivers in the desert, a rock in
a weary land, a hiding place in trouble, salvation
for a perishing world.

A TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORY OF
EE1>ER OE1VER BARR
Over the front door of Antioch College, there
is being built a niche suitable for a Statue. It ba
been’the expectation of the committee that sai
niche would remain vacant for the presen
from * various causes among which are, 1st, i
seemed proper that if filled at all it should be by
the Statue ftf a denominational man: 2d, there
did not seem to be any name which the Christian
as a people could designate without seming in
vidious Toward others. 3d, the committee do
not suppose they have any funds in their hands
which they can properly apply to that object.
Friends of the late Elder Oliver Barr, shall I ask
the committee in your behalf the use of said
niche fbr the purpose of placing therein a Marble
Statue of our friend. make this public avowal
of my own desire, hoping to have a full expres
sion of the feeling of others before the next meet
ing of the committee, which will take place in a
few weeks.
He has ceased from among the living. He was
a denomination al man. He died in the immediate
employ of the College. I cannot think wl«n
the circumstances attending his death are consid
ered, any, one will suppose the claim )f their per
' sonal friends equal to ours. My first thoughts
I were to apply personally to a few of the more
I wealthy of his friends for the funds necessary to
! execute the design, but taking counsel of my
own feelings, lam fully convinced that there are]
many who would feel deeply grieved if they were;
not permitted to share with others in the memory j
of one so dearly loved, and whose memory is so ;
fondly efierished. Do aqj ask why move for
ward in this matter? 1 answer; he was my!
