JULY 19. 1872. i, can shall Tkot the ministry be not blamed «i'l that our old Reformation e brought up to { standard >i * fulness worthy of iu history e object of our endeavors these articles. In seeking out a ftting forth the cause or causes 1r present mournful i ondition " and truth require that we faithful as well as en if ourselves be mischievous shortcoming lch complained of. Much be thrown upon! this ^ important help iu coming to ight conclusions afforded, by P and carefully running over jfetory of our ecclesiastical 0ns for past tow years. In •oust every copy of the proceedings charitable, implicated in so light subject, of our Synods, will be found the resold of discussions and resolutions upon the subject of systematic en deavors to imifit toads, to oatabliah and sustain the institutions of oar church, to build up her waste placet, to educate men to preach the gospel to her destitute thousand*, and min ister to the necessities of her poor. Now theae very transactions are an acknowledgement of divine oblige tion, oa this point, a public and formal assumption and declaration of authority on the part of these bodies; but whoever shall put him self to the trouble of looking into the history of theec resolves, shall find that they begin and eud, in many cases, at the time niul place of the meeting of the Synod ; and therefore, so far as any practical effect upou our people is concerned, they had better never been made; for just iu proportion as they are known, they tend to make and strengthen the impression that Syn odical resolutions and decisions are of no binding force. There is widely | diffused among our people a deep- seated respect for the authority of the Synods, of which, if advantage would be taken by those whose busiuess it is to mould and form the sentiment of the church, the difficulty of procuring the necessary means for the church work would soon be removed, or greAtly relieved; but instead, the Syuod’s solemn pub lic orderings often do not come down to our {*ople at all, and if they do, it is in such an incidental or occasional form as to make the impression that the Synod itself did not regard them as of vital and fundamental authority and impor tance. This being the fact, the back wartiness of oar people in relig ions enterprise can not be wondered at; if they who constitute the func tional organs of oar Synods work apart from the people, it is useless to expect that any thing will be accomplished in this direction by Synodical action. We are Christ’s ambassadors and stewards, appointed, commissioned and sent to assert and establish bis dominion over the world, and a car dinal part of oar business is to se cure that indispensable contingency ot success in oar work, the money power, and as that is mainly in the hands of our people, we should give all diligeooe to the work of informing them with respect to oar responsi ble office, and their direct personal concern in its effectual discharge. Our Synods are authoritative bodies, or they are not, and we pre same there are few of us who will some the latter—if they besuthori tative, their authority is derived from Christ the (lead of the church. Now the Synod assembled in the name of the Lord, ami composed of his appointees, to plan, eoatrive, and act for the furtherance of Ilia designs and the establishment of bis kingdom in the earth; if it shall determine upou any work which shall involve the expenditure of money, is it not as competent to commend that agency as the time, and bodily and mental powers of his people! The gold and silver are the Lords, as well as the bodies aud spirits of men ; it is as much therefore the doty of the church to employ in his service the one as the other, so that when the Synod rales, and we preach that any work abso lutely requiring the expenditure of money must be done, we arc acting in the name and by the authority of God. The command is upon os, considered both in our individual ami ecclesiastical capacity, Oo ye into all the earth, ami preach sty gospel to every creature. Now to execute this mission, the money power is as in dispensable as ordinary locomotion or physical and intellectual force— all our ecclesiastical devisings and resolutions go upon this assumption; strike this from the combination of agencies in the church work, and Synodical deliberations and con triv ia gs will cease, if we be sane and sober. Synodical resolutions whether they relate to the promulgation or preservation of the pure doctrines of the church, or to the ways and means of furthering the work of extending and diffusing the bless ings of the gospel, and building up Christ’s kingdom, are binding alike upon the clerical and lay members of the church, and alike command the time and powers and means of both. The perfect acconlance of ecclesiastical transactions, demand ing the time and powers and sub stance of God’s people, with the spirit and teachings of the Scriptnres, entitle them to the highest consider- ation, and to cardinal attention in ►the work of the pulpit; the minister, therefore, who shall fail from any canse to give them a prominent place in his ministrations, shall not only fail of a roost important element of success iu his work, but inevitably contribute in some par} to the del in qoencies which have made such a fig ore in our church. The promptings of selfishness will maks their deception on this vital subject an easy work, if our people be not thoroughly, faithfully and fearlesslj taught that the word of God aod their high vocation as Christians imperatively demand the liberal expenditure of the money he has entrusted to them for his glory. There are on record in the proceedings of our Synods for the current year, transactions aod resolutions, which, if feithfully kept to, and carried down to oar people, and urged upou their atten tion with that fidelity and persever ing earnestness which the crying wauts of our church institutions ought to iuspire in all our ministers and official laymen, would infallibly secure the means necessary to re lieve our embarrassed institutions, and inaugurate measures to supply painfully pressing wants in many quarters of our wide spread church organisation. Our General Synod has a great work to do, anti has nobly resolved to do it. Will it be done T This, depends upon the harmonious oo-op eration of a great many individuals scattered over a wide district of country. To sornro this oo-opera tion, let each pastor with his council adopt in its details the systematic beneficence measure proposed by the Synod at Charleston, and then each reader of the Ijuthermn Visitor procure at least one fiew subscriber in the next three months, ami the work will be dooe. The sain proposed to be puid by each individual is so small that we can not think that many would fail to respond cheerful ly to the demands of the scheme if clearly and frilly presented, little extra exertion on the part of |stators to carry’ this scheme into effect will be required, if all the families of their charge be readers of the church {taper. Our people are as good as any other, and we are inclined to think a little better by reason of their being Lutherans all they need is to bs well informed ot what the church is doing, and proposes to do; and this can only be well and tbor oughiv done throngh the rhnrrh {taper—and tour well to do mem bent of our church could not per form a more acceptable and blessed service than by expeadmg a few dollars daring the current year is the gratuitous circulation of the Visiter. Brethren in the ministry, ours in the work proposed is a position of grave responsibility: much «le {tends on what we shall do, or leave undone. Let as not forget therefore that, in the language of Kobe Hall, “Ours wit! be the miamodurt of the pilot, who is denied the privilege of perishing alone.* Hsmti. to go to heaven and in which church ws wish our children to follow as. Among other institutions of our church what can you do for Hobnob* College f Can you send os some stu dents by your agency. Can you assist the Church, in her synodical notions to get the institution on n secure basis, by way of paying all her debt* and procuring her endowment f In Vir ginia besides the State institutions, the Methodist people have two col leges, the Presbyterians two inati tutions, the Baptists one, the Kpis copal ians two and the iMtherans one. Are your aware how the friends of these colleges work for them, in getting students to attend them, and what nctirity they show in securing fends for their snstentatiou f This is very oommendable in Christian denominations, but let us follow their example ! Roanoke College has already sent forth many excellent yonng men into our ministry—has educated a large number of our active and intelligent young laymen though her resources have been limited and her straggles under pecuniary embaraasment some times precarious ; yet by the proper support of her friends sod her ap- iireciatioo by the Lutheran Church, her feture will be a better one. Now brethren of the Lutheran Church, ss yon esteem the future welfare of yoar denomination, do what you can for this only College we have in Vs. If yon can only do a little, withhold not that little. If yon have no son or brother of vonr own, send s son of yoar neighbor'ft to the institution by yoar influence.
