to  make  the  world's  books  discoverable  online. 

It  has  survived  long  enough  for  the  copyright  to  expire  and  the  book  to  enter  the  public  domain.  A  public  domain  book  is  one  that  was  never  subject

are  our  gateways  to  the  past,  representing  a  wealth  of  history,  culture  and  knowledge  that's  often  difficult  to  discover.

SIXTY-NINTH  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


Grateful  for  the  mercies  and  successes  of  another  year  the  Board  of 
Education  respectfully  presents  to  the  General  Assembly  its  sixty-ninth 
report. 

In  view  of  the  legacy  of  a  heavy  debt  left  to  it  from  the  previous 
year,  and  of  a  probable  increase  of  applications  for  aid  in  the  future,  the 
Board,  at  its  first  session  in  September,  decided  to  reduce  the  scholar- 
ships to  ^  I  CO  for  all  in  the  Collegiate  and  Theological  departments,  and 
to  $80  for  the  Academics  (save  to  those  at  Biddle  University,  all  of 
whom  received  ^80  each,  as  recommended  by  the  last  Assembly,)  and 
gave  notice  of  this  action  through  the  press.  The  effect  of  this 
increased  reduction  has  been  to  tax  yet  more  severely  many  of  the 
candidates  who  are  entirely  dependent  on  themselves  for  support.  While 
it  has  served  to  stimulate  their  physical  energies,  it  has  at  the  same  time 
prevented  their  full  application  to  study,  and  diminished  the  benefit  to 
be  derived  from  their  educational  course.  The  loss  is  not  counter- 
balanced by  the  gain  and  the  saving.  In  mental,  as  well  as  material 
acquisitions,  it  is  always  deemed  good  economy  to  get  the  better  article, 
even  though  it  cost  more. 

As  was  expected,  the  number  of  recommendations  sent  in  largely 
exceeded  those  of  last  year,  running  up  from  696  to  739.  Under 
the  apprehension  of  an  increase  of  the  debt  that  would  thus  be  occa- 
sioned, since  the  contributions  were  not  coming  in  proportionately,  the 
Board  resolved,  early  in  January,  once  more  to  avail  itself  of  the  liberty 
granted  in  its  rules  to  decline  receiving  any  more  candidates.  As 
before,  earnest  appeals  for  exceptions  were  made  in  some  instances,  but 
they  were,  from  consistency,  declined.  Relief,  however,  was  obtained 
for  some  of  the  more  urgent  cases  by  appeals  in  their  behalf  through  the 
columns  of  •'*  The  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,"  which  were  always 
responded  to.  In  this  way  the  number  of  special  scholarships  has  been 
increased  to  eighteen,  for  which  special  thanks  are  due  to  the  bene- 
factors. 

FUNDS. 

The  amount  of  funds  received  has  to  some  degree  bettered  expecta- 
tion. With  such  a  heavy  demand  upon  the  liberality  of  the  churches  as 
was  made  by  the  effort  to  raise  an  endowment  of  a  million  dollars  for  the 
Board   of  Ministerial    Relief,  and   by  the  resolve  of  the  Assembly   to

'•  •  lh*e  .'s&me 'altibunt,  it  was  feared  that  this  cause  would  be  overlooked. 
•  Indeed »  apologies  were  often  sent  in  by  churches  for  the  scantiness  of 
their  contributions,  on  the  ground  that  their  purses  had  been  pretty  weU 
drained  to  meet  the  above  demands.  And  had  it  not  been  for  a  timely 
legacy  of  1 16,000,  and  the  numerous  personal  appeals  sent  out,  and  the 
special  efforts  of  our  Presbyterial  Committees,  the  Board  certainly  would 
have  been  in  large  arrears.  Instead  of  this,  it  is  gratifying  that  we  are 
able  to  report  our  debt  diminished  to  only  ^3,800. 

DELINQUENCIES. 

As  usual,  a  large  number  of  churches  have  contributed  nothing  ta 
this  Board.  Out  of  6,436,  found  on  the  roll  of  1887,  not  less  than  3,338 
will  leave  their  space  in  the  column  of  Education  a  blank.  Many  of 
these  would  plead  inability.  Others,  Toeing  without  a  pastor,  will  assign 
as  the  reason  that  there  was  no  one  to  present  the  cause.  Some^ 
however,  though  well  able  to  give,  have  sent  us  special  reasons  for 
refusing  to  do  so.  These  reasons  it  may  perhaps  be  well  to  consider,  as 
they  may  be  more  widely  influential  than  appears. 

One  reason  mentioned  is  the  careless  readiness  with  which  some 
Presbyteries  have  been  known  to  recommend  students  to  the  Board. 
"Right  here,*'  it  is  affirmed,  **is  to  be  found  the  weak  point  of  our 
educational  system.**  There  is  not,  it  is  said,  sufficient  patient  and 
prolonged  investigation  into  the  character  and  needs  of  the  young 
men  recommended,  nor  sufficient  oversight  taken  of  them  afterwards. 
Instances  are  mentioned  where  men  have  been  received  '*  without  any 
judicious  inquiry,  while  those  who  knew  better  had  not  the  moral 
stamina  to  utter  a  righteous  protest.'*  The  result  was  that  candidates  of 
meagre  capacity,  or  of  spendthrift  habits,  or  of  sufficient  means  of  their 
own,  were  receiving  aid  from  the  church,  to  the  great  scandal  of  the 
cause. 

That  there  has  been  laxity  in  the  examination  of  candidates  must  be 
confessed.  Nowhere  more  than  on  our  Presbyterial  Educational  Com- 
mittees are  there  needed  men  of  penetration,  men  of  firmness,  men  who 
are  impressed  with  the  solemn  importance  of  their  duty,  and  are  willing 
to  take  time  for  its  right  performance ;  men  who  have  the  courage  to  say- 
No,  when  their  judgment  dictates  it,  even  against  their  kindlier  feelings ; 
men  who  can  shut  the  door  into  the  pulpit  as  well  as  open  it.  Few 
•persons  are  entrusted  with  a  weightier  responsibility  than  those  who  are 
set  to  decide  who  our  future  ministers  shall  be.  Mistakes  here  dis- 
astrously affect  our  whole  church  life  and  disparage  our  cause  in  the 


estimation  of  all  observers.     We  humbly  suggest,  therefore,  that  greater 
pains  be  taken  to  avoid  them. 

Yet  it  must  be  remembered  that,  with  all  the  pains  that  may  be 
taken,  we  are  divinely  warned  that  there  is  a  possibility  of  deceiving  even 
the  very  elect.  And  the  fact  that  such  deception  has  been  practised  upon 
the  too  credulous  now  and  then  ought  not  to  disparage  a  cause  which  has 
proved  itself  so  essential  to  the  prosperity  of  the  church  in  the  minds  of 
reasonable  men.  The  good  done  far  more  than  counterbalances  all  the 
evil  incident  to  its  performance. 

Another  reason  assigned  is  put  in  the  following  form :  No  church 
that,  during  its  vacancy,  has  been  besieged  by  a  host  of  candidates,  and 
no  minister  that  has  been  obliged  to  hunt  long  for  a  pulpit,  will  ever  be 
inclined  to  do  anything  for  the  Board  of  Education  ;  the  one,  from  the 
conviction  that  there  are  already  more  ministers  than  the  church  is  able 
to  support,  and  the  other,  from  the  feeling  that  he  has  too  many 
competitors  for  his  advantage.  Whether  this  objection  can  be  removed 
is  a  serious  question.  No  demonstration  to  the  contrary  seems  to  avail 
anything.  So  long  as  the  Presbyterian  Church  has  no  system  of 
appointments,  and  the  principle  of  independency  as  to  the  choice  of 
minister  and  place  prevails,  it  must  be  expected  to  remain  as  an 
impediment  in  the  way  of  ministerial  development.  Ministers  who 
are  pinched  in  their  support,  or  who  are  disturbed  by  malcontents, 
or  who  are  desirous  of  a  better  field  than  that  they  are  occu- 
pying, will  continue  to  try  the  opportunity  which  a  vacant  church 
presents  to  improve  their  condition,  and  by  so  doing  will  continue 
to  be,  however  unintentionally,  competitors  with  each  other,  and  thus 
awaken  in  the  inconsiderate  public  a  sense  of  there  being  too  many. 
The  evil  is  one  which  the  exercise  of  Presbyterial  authority  would  be 
more  likely  to  aggravate  than  repress,  in  the  present  state  of  things.  It  is 
incidental  to  all  those  relations  which  are  determined  by  the  free  choice 
of  the  parties  concerned.  Nevertheless,  with  thoughtful  men,  interested 
in  the  advancement  of  the  church,  facts  should  be  exf>ected  to  rule. 
And  the  facts  here  are  plain.  Instead  of  a  superabundance  there  is  a 
scarcity  of  ministerial  supply. 

Complaint  is  also  made  that  the  graduates  from  our  seminaries,  so 
young  and  fair  and  fresh,  tempt  the  churches  to  discard  their  old 
pastors,  of  whom  they  are  weary,  in  order  to  substitute  these  novices  in 
their  place.  Accordingly  the  suggestion  is  made  that  all  candidates, 
-educated  under  care  of  the  Board,  pledge  themselves  to  a  term  of 
service  in  mission  work,  either  under  the  Home  Board  or  the  Presbytery. 
The  propriety  of  making  such  a  distinction  among  the  students  of  our 


seminaries  may  be  questioned,  inasmuch  as  all  of  them,  to  a  greater  or 
less  degree,  are  beneficiaries  of  the  church,  and  such  distinction  would  be 
invidious.  Besides,  it  is  doubtful  whether  the  church,  which  contributed 
to  the  education  of  these  students,  would  consent  to  be  deprived  of  the 
privilege  of  choosing  them  to  the  pastorate  when  desired. 

We  mention  these  objections  simply  to  show  that  they  have  been 
considered,  and  are  not  to  be  deemed  valid  against  a  cause  so  indis- 
pensable to  the  advancement  of  God's  kingdom.  The  evils  specified 
are  unavoidable.  They  are  like  sand  in  the  machinery  that  is  employed 
on  the  road.  The  like  evils  are  to  be  found  in  every  sphere  of  Christian 
labor,  and  must  be  counted  upon  as  originating  in  the  imperfections  of 
the  nature  with  which  we  have  to  deal.  The  men  who  are  entrusted  with 
the  management  of  the  cause  of  ministerial  education  are  the  same  as 
manage  every  other  cause  in  the  church — no  better,  no  worse,  all  imper- 
fect at  the  best,  needing  perhaps  "to  be  toned  up  occasionally,"  as  one 
brother  avers,  yet  on  the  whole  to  be  trusted.  If  ihey  cannot  be  trusted, 
it  may  well  be  asked,  Who  can  be  trusted?  Distrust  here  warrants 
distrust  throughout  the  whole  body. 

THE  DEMAND. 

Over  against  the  statements  made  above  we  give  the  following 
statistics,  made  out  from  the  minutes  of  the  last  Assembly,  and  would 
press  them  upon  the  attention  of  all  our  ministers  and  elders. 

Out  of  the  6,436  churches  enrolled  there  were  1,211  marked  vacant. 
This  is  15  less  than  were  so  marked  last  year.  The  churches  dissolved 
number  78,  an  excess  of  2.  The  new  churches  organized  count  2B8,  an 
advance  of  63,  making  our  net  increase  in  the  whole  number  155. 

The  whole  number  of  ordinations  was  188,  and  of  accessions  from 
other  denominations  in  excess  of  those  we  dismissed  was  50.  These 
added  together  make  in  all  238  new  names  of  ordained  men  upon  our 
roll.  But  we  lost  by  death  130.  The  balance  of  ministers  then  would 
be  108,  to  set  over  against  the  155  increase  of  churches,  and  to  provide 
for  the  1,211  vacancies.  Of  course,  a  large  number  of  these  churches 
must  be  regarded  as  too  small  and  too  weak  to  sustain  a  pastor.  Yet  who- 
will  say  that  they  do  not  all  deserve  to  be  cared  for,  and  would  not  pay 
to  be  sustained  ?  So,  on  the  other  hand,  there  is  an  indefinable  number 
of  unemployed  ministers,  many  of  them  well  furnished  for  every  good 
word  and  work,  whose  worth  needs  only  to  be  known  in  order  to  be 
called  to  some  of  these  vacancies,  and  who  are  rendering  excellent 
service  as  occasional  supplies.  These,  however,  we  must  leave  out  of  the 
account  as  an  uncertain  element,  and  simply  take  things  according  to 
their  showing.     And  from  such  a  view  it  must  be  obvious  that  we  are 


far  from  meeting  the  demand.  And  this  will  be  the  more  apparent  when 
we  reflect  that  in  looking  for  a  pastor  our  churches  proceed  on  the 
principle  of  "natural  selection/'  and  call  for  a  large  stock  out  of  which 
to  make  their  choice,  and  are  very  likely  to  let  much  excellent  material 
go  to  waste. 

THE  PROSPECT. 

The  promise  for  the  coming  year,  as  indicated  by  the  catalogues  of 
our  Theological  Seminaries,  is  as  follows  : 

At  their  several  commencements  in  the  Spring,  Princeton  sent  out 
39  graduates;  Union,  35;  Western;  22;  Auburn,  12;  Lane,  19; 
McCormick,  36 ;  Danville,  i  ;  San  Francisco,  2  ;  Biddle,  4 ;]  German 
Theological  School  at  Bloomfield,  3  ;  the  same  at  Dubuque,  4 ;  Lincoln, 
10  ;  total,  178.  This  is  less  by  5  than  were  furnished  by  the  first  six  of 
these  institutions  last  year,  or  taking  these  six  again  this  year,  by  way  of 
comparison,  less  by  29,  a  lamentable  decline,  it  must  be  confessed. 
And  even  from  these  enumerated  a  deduction  must  be  made  on  the  score 
of  candidates  that  belong  to  other  denominations  and  do  not  expect  to 
enter  our  service,  and  also  on  the  score  of  those  who,  though  studying 
theology,  do  not  have  the  ministry  in  view. 

An  offset  to  this  decline  is  presented  in  the  Assembly  statistics. 
The  sum  total  of  the  candidates  there  reported  is  986,  an  excess  of  80  over 
that  of  the  previous  year.  But  these,  it  must  be  remembered,  are  scat- 
tered over  a  seven-years'  course  of  study,  and  average  only  about  40  per 
year.  There  are,  however,  many  more  to  be  hof>ed  for  who  have  not  yet 
declared  themselves  to  Presbytery.  Plainly  it  becomes  our  churches  and 
presbyteries  to  bestir  themselves  to  a  more  earnest  consecration  of  their 
young  men  to  the  ministry  of  the  Word,  and  of  their  means  to  help  them 
forward. 

PROFIT  AND   LOSS. 

In  order  to  ascertain  the  gains  and  losses  of  the  Church  in  account 
with  the  Board  of  Education  since  the  reunion  of  the  two  branches  in 
1870,  a  careful  investigation  has  been  instituted,  for  the  purpose  of  dis- 
covering how  many  of  those  who  had  been  aided  by  the  Board  within 
that  period  had  failed  of  entering  its  ministry,  and  why  they  had  failed, 
and  what  had  become  of  them,  and  what  they  had  cost  to  the  Church. 
The  result,  so  far  as  has  been  obtained,  we  give  below.  It  is  to  be 
regretted  that  out  of  the  151  presbyteries  to  which  inquiries  have  been 
sent,  45  have  not  responded,  so  that  the  account  is  not  as  complete  as  we 
would  like  to  make  it.  The  summary  of  the  information  gained  is  as 
follows : 


8 

The  whole  number  of  those  who  have  been  more  or  less  aided  is  2,747. 
This  makes  the  average  number  recorded  on  our  books  each  year  to 
be  546. 

Of  this  yearly  average  we  find,  after  the  most  careful  investigation, 
that  lyi  per  cent,  have  failed  to  enter  our  ministry,  two-thirds  of  this 
small  percentage  having  gone  into  other  business,  and  the  other  third 
having  been  dropped  before  completing  their  course.  Again,  i^  per 
cent,  of  the  yearly  average  are  beyond  our  knowledge,  we  having  been 
unable  to  ascertain  from  their  presbyteries  aught  concerning  them.  We 
hope,  however,  to  obtain  answers  to  our  inquiries  from  all  before  long. 
The  whole  will  then  be  summarized  more  in  detail,  to  be  kept  on  record. 

The  showing  thus  made  must  be  acknowledged  to  be  a  creditable 
one.  The  losses  sustained  will  compare  favorably  with  those  sustained 
in  any  other  department  of  church  work.  Ninety-seven  per  cent,  may 
fairly  be  estimated  as  having  gone  into  the  work. 

We  have  not  included  in  the  above  calculation  those  that  have  died 
during  their  course  of  study.  Their  failure,  if  failure  it  may  be  called,  is 
not  a  loss. 

WHAT  IS  TO  BE  DONE? 

In  view  of  the  facts  which  have  been  presented,  the  above  question 
becomes  most  pertinent  and  pressing.  If  the  church  is  to  be  completely 
manned  and  prepared  to  meet  the  calls  that  are  sounded  in  her  hearing 
more  loudly  every  year,  one  of  two  things  must  obviously  be  done.  Either 
the  churches  and  presbyteries  must  be  more  zealous  in  asking  God  for,  and 
in  seeking  out,  suitable  young  men  to  be  educated  for  the  ministry,  and 
then  raising  the  funds  that  may  be  needful  for  their  support ;  or  the  church 
must  consent  to  enlist  in  her  service  men  less  fully  equipped  in  point  of 
learning  than  her  constitution  requires.  Neglect  in  doing  the  first  thing 
will  surely  compel  a  resort  to  the  other,  reluctant  as  she  may  be  to  do  it. 
Our  vacant  churches  are  inviting  to  their  pulpits  such  men  as  they  can 
find  to  suit  them,  whatever  their  ecclesiastical  connections  may  be,  col- 
lege taught  or  not,  and  we  are  having  thrust  upon  us  in  an  indirect  way 
ministers  whom  we  would  not  have  admitted  regularly,  and  that,  too,  in  a 
much  worse  shape.  Besides  this,  schools  have  been  started,  as  is  well 
known,  in  different  portions  of  the  country,  where  young  men  of  pious 
zeal  are  being  trained  for  the  ministry  in  the  knowledge  of  the  Bible,  and 
in  whatever  else  may  fit  them  to  preach  without  much  classical  (and 
scientific)  instruction.  And  these,  while  having  large  popular  support, 
arc  outside  of  any  ecclesiastical  control.  Certain  it  is  that  in  some  way 
the  demand  in  question  will  be  met,  if  not  in  accordance  with  our  system, 
then   in   accordance  with  some  other.       Our  condition  is  one  that  is 


awakening  deep  solicitude  in  many  observant  minds.  Writes  President 
Darling :  ^*  That  the  roll  of  our  ministers  does  not  keep  pace  with  the  roll 
of  our  churches  is  perhaps  the  saddest  fact  in  the  present  condition  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church.  New  fields  for  evangelism  open  to  us  faster  than 
we  can  find  men  to  enter  and  cultivate  them,  and  apart  from  the  increase 
of  our  ministry  by  accessions  from  foreign  bodies,  this  disparity  is  alarm- 
ing. From  our  institutions  of  learning  the  net  annual  gain  to  our  ministry 
for  the  last  five  years  would  hardly  be  thirty- five."  The  following,  of 
like  import,  we  take  from  one  of  the  leading  religious  journals:  "The 
question  of  an  able  and  adequate  ministry  is  the  question  of  the  hour.  All 
other  working  agencies  are  subsidiary  to  this.  The  Boards  of  Home  and 
Foreign  Missions  are  crippled,  while  the  work  in  the  foreign  fields  is 
opening  up  to  an  extent  that  is  bewildering  in  comparison  with  our  limited 
supply  of  workers.  In  some  places  where  we  have  wrought  for  more  than 
half  a  century  the  work  is  actually  going  back  for  want  of  men,  so  that 
our  triumph  on  one  side  brings  us  to  see  our  helplessness  on  the  other." 
Such  testimonies  might  be  multiplied.     What,  then,  shall  be  done  ? 

In  answer  to  the  suggestion  of  providing  a  special  class  of  ministers 
for  our  feebler  churches,  a  Home  Missionary  writes:  '*  I  have  been  for 
ten  years  a  missionary,  and  am  now  just  beginning  work  in  a  field  where 
the  church  promises  only  $250.  The  people  are  ignorantly  infidel,  and  I 
never  occupied  a  position  where  thorough  mental  discipline  has  been  more 
serviceable  than  here.  Possibly  I  have  made  a  mistake  this  time,  but  I 
have  been  impelled  to  take  to  my  study  as  never  before.  These  weak 
churches  are  just  the  ones  that  need  strong  men  y  The  statement  he  under- 
scores is  no  doubt  true.  But  some  are  asking,  ''Suppose  we  cannot  get 
the  strong  men,  shall  we  let  them  go  without  teachers?  Could  not  the 
weakness  of  God  be  made  stronger  than  men?"  No  doubt  it  could,  is 
our  reply.  But  for  that  reason  shall  we  neglect  our  duty  and  not  labor  to 
provide  the  best  ? 

For  some  reason,  inexplicable  perhaps,  the  failure  we  have  been 
considering  has  become  chronic  in  our  church.  In  1835  ^^^  ^^^-  ^-  ^• 
Hope,  the  then  secretary  of  blessed  memory,  in  his  report  says:  **The 
Presbyterian  Church,  we  believe,  is  almost  the  only  one  that  measures  its 
demands  for  a  ministry  by  the  number  of  its  existing  churches.  The  zeal 
of  other  denominations  should  provoke  us  to  good  works,  were  it  not 
indelicate  to  cite  their  policy  in  detail.  They  are  nearly  all  engaged  in 
aggressive  war  with  error  and  sin,  and  some  of  them  are  even  encroaching 
upon  us,  solely  by  the  relatively  greater  strength  of  their  ministry."  This 
declaration,  made  fifty-three  years  ago,  holds  good  with  greater  pertinency 
now.     How  shall  we  explain  the  fact,  and  how  shall  we  effect  its  cure  ? 


lO 

No  more  important  question  can  occupy  the  attention  of  this  Centennial 
Assembly.  Its  proper  solution  would  mark  the  opening  of  the  new 
century  as  an  epoch  in  the  progress  of  our  church.  Other  denominations 
are  awaking  to  it  in  their  way ;  we  must  solve  it  in  our  own. 

The  whole  subject  is  of  such  importance  that  the  Board  adopts  the 
suggestion  coming  to  it  from  the  faculties  of  two  or  three  of  our  Theologi- 
cal Seminaries,  to  overture  the  General  Assembly  to  commit  it  to  the 
careful  consideration  of  an  able  committee,  that,  in  view  of  all  the  facts 
on  hand,  they  may  mature  and  propose  some  plan  or  means  by  which  the 
exigency  occasioned  by  a  lack  of  ministers  may  be  met. 

CANDIDATES  AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  aided  has  increased  from  696  to  739. 
They  are  distribued  as  follows:  In  the  Theological  Seminaries,  315;  in 
Colleges,  353  ;  in  Academic  Department,  71. 

Classified  according  to  race  and  nationality:  97  are  Negroes;  ^^, 
Germans;  3,  Bulgarians;  2,  Spanish;  2,  Japanese;  2,  Indians;  i,  Mex- 
ican; I,  Brazilian;  i,Corean;  i,  Armenian.  The  rest  are  Anglo- 
Saxons,  Scotch  and  Irish. 

In  point  of  scholarship,  184  are  marked  "  High;"  236,  *' Medium 
+  ;"   241,  ^*  Medium;**   20,  *'Low.*' 

Tho;e  who  completed  their  studies  this  spring  at  the  Theological 
Seminaries  and  have  been  graduated,  number  as  follows :  From  Mc- 
Cormick,  25;  Princeton,  15;  Lane,  10  ;  Western,  6 ;  Biddle  University, 
3  ;  Dubuque  German  School,  4  ;  Auburn,  3  ;  Lincoln  University,  3  ; 
Newark  German  School,  3;  San  Francisco,  2  ;  Danville,  i. 

One,  a  most  promising  student,  has  been  called  away  by  death. 

The  Board  has  been  obligM  to  drop  2  on  account  of  ill  health,  and 
6  for  marked  disqualifications  in  attainments  and  character ;  3  have 
withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support. 

The  Institutions  at  which  our  students  have  been  studying  by  the 
advice  and  consent  of  their  Presbyteries  are  tabulated  below.  It  will  be 
seen  that  they  are  not  all  in  connection  with  our  Church.  The  wish  of 
the  Presbyteries  has  been  complied  with  when  no  special  objection  has 
offered  itself.  The  most  common  reason  alleged  for  desiring  to  study  in 
other  than  in  our  institutions  is  that  it  was  more  economical  or  more 
convenient.

Esq.     These  elections  are  laid  before  the  Assembly  for  its  action. 

The  members  whose  term  of  service  expires  this  year  are  as  follows : 
Ministers — Samuel  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  J.  H.  Munro,  D.  D.,  and  E.  B. 
Hodge.  Laymen — James  F.  Gailey,  M.  D.,  Charles  H.  Mathews,  Esq., 
and  George  Peirce,  Esq. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

By  order  of  the  Board. 

D.  W.  POOR, 
Corresponding  Secretary, 


The  General  .Vssembly  in  Account  with  the  Board  of  Education  for  1886. 

The  following  is  an  account  of  the  contribution  made  to  the  ministry  of  the  Church 
by  the  Board  of  Education  and  the  Permanent  Committee  of  Education  [N.  S.]  as  re- 
corded in  the  Minutes  of  the  Assembly  for  1886.  The  list  of  that  year  is  taken  because  it 
was  printed  in  a  separate  book  and  then  examined.  It  must  be  premised  also  that  the  ac- 
count does  not  include  those  ministers  who  were  aided  by  the  local  organizations  of  the 
New  School  body  before  its  Education  Committee  was  formed.  The  records  of  most  of 
these  organizations  are  not  now  accesible,  and  hence  their  beneficiaries  could  not  be 
marked.  Were  these  added  the  numbers  to  be  credited  to  the  policy  of  aid  would  be 
greatly  increased. 

Of  the  5546  on  the  list  there  are  in  all  1927,  very  nearly  2000,  to  be  accredited  to 
us.     Of  these  89  had  done  their  work  and  were  honorably  retired 

6l  are  licentiates,  mostly  in  the  last  year  of  their  course  of  study,  and  yet  to  enter  on 
their  work.     Those  in  active  service  number  1543,  marked  thus: 

Pastors 858 

Stated  Supplies, 465 

Foreign  Missionaries, 69 

Fresidents aa 

Professors, 4a 

Sy nodical  and  Presbyterial  Missionaries, 17

Chaplains, 4 

Agents 4 

Liorarians. a 

City  Missionaries, i 

>543 
Without  Charge  170 

Evangelists  64 

Many  of  those  so  marked  are  known  to  be  constantly  employed,  ministering  to  vacant  churches 

and  filling  the  gaps  made  by  pastors'  absences.

APPENDIX. 


ACTION  OK  THE^  QHNHRAL  ASSE^NIBLV. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following  persons : 

Ministers,  Elders, 

S.  J.  McPherson,  T.  S.  Bredenburgh, 

i.  T.  Black,  Thomas  Stillvvell, 

.  H.  M.  Knox,  T.  Ford, 

A.  T.  Chester,  t).  E.  McCaughey, 

W.  M.  Claybaugh,  S.  p.  Harbison, 

J.  A.  Ramsey,  W.  Wadhams, 

Thomas  Murphy,  Henry  Cook. 
Wm.  Aikman, 

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Friday,  May  x8th,  1888,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  Dr.  S.  J.  McPherson,  which  was  accepted.  The  Assembly  was  then 
Addressed  by  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others. 

The  Report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

Tl^e  Standing  Committee  on  the  Board  of  Education,  having  scrutinized  both  the 
Annual  Report  of  the  Board  and  the  Minutes  of  its  meetings,  and  having  listened  to 
statements  made  by  those  interested  in  its  objects  and  methods,  would  respectfully  report 
that  during  the  past  year  this  department  of  our  work  has  been  marked  by  commendable 
activity  and  by  some  progress  on  the  part  of  the  Board. 

Owing  to  an  increase  in  legacies  the  debt  of  $15,000,  reported  a  year  ago,  has  been 
reduced  to  $3,800.  But  this  improvement  has  been  secured  at  the  humiliating  cost  of 
reducing  the  appropriations  to  candidates.  The  maximum  now  allowed  to  a'  student  is 
only  $100 — scarcely  one-sixth  of  what  is  allowed  to  a  cadet  in  West  Point.  If  the  mem- 
bers of  this  Assembly  would  seriously  consider  the  hardship  and  pecuniary  distress  which 
this  state  of  things  imposes  upon  many  candidates,  they  would  go  home  and  persuade  their 
Churches  and  Presbyteries  to  provide  the  remedy.  3,338,  or  54  per  cent,  of  our  churches 
did  not  contribute  to  this  Board  during  the  year.  The  contributing  churches  gave  an 
average  of  less  than  $20  each.  In  view  of  this  showing,  it  can  hardly  be  considered  strange 
that  the  aggregate  number  of  our  Seminary  graduates  has  once  more  begun  to  decline.  Yet 
the  demand  for  well-qualified  pastors  is  more  urgent  than  ever,  specially  in  the  west  and 
south.  Graduates  of  the  right  character  need  never  wait  a  day  for  fields  of  labor.  If 
churches  believe  our  plan  to  be  wrong,  they  ought  to  say  so  candidly  and  then  suggest  a 
more  excellent  way  of  furnishing  a  necessary  supply  of  ministers,  rather  than  let  the  cause 
itself  languish  through  their  indifference  or  disloyalty.  It  is  worth  their  while  to  notice, 
as  a  test  of  the  Board's  work,  that  of  the  average  number  of  students  aided  each  year 
since  the  reunion  in  1870,  97  per  cent,  have  entered  the  ministry  of  our  own  Church.  In 
the  judgment  of  this  Committee,  the  Board's  methods  should  be  brought  far  more  con- 
spicuously forward  by  pastors  and  Sessions,  in  order  that  the  facts  may  have  an  oppor- 
tunity to  make  their  own  impression.  As  things  stand  in  this  Centennial  year  there  is 
some  danger  lest  it  should  be  thought  that  our  Church  while  strenuously  advocating  an 
educated  ministry,  was  playing  wifh  the  subject  in  practice. 

A  very  careful  examination  of  the  whole  of  the  sad  facts,  as  we  are  forced  to  regard 
them,  reveals  the  alarming  truth  that  existing  methods  are  not  recruiting  the  number  of 
our  ministers  a&  fully  as  they  are  needed.    Thexe  may  seem  to  be  sufficient  numbers  in 

36 


37 

the  larger  cities  and  vicinity,  but  throughout  the  rest  of  the  land  there  is  a  sad  lack  of 
men  to  supply  the  various  posts.  There  are  not  sufficient  numbers  of  them  to  meet  the 
vastly  increasing  thousands  of  our  own  population,  our  missions  at  home  and  abroad,  our 
institutions  of  various  kinds,  and  other  calls  for  preachers.  Calls  the  most  urgent  are 
coming  from  our  churches  and  our  Boards  to  our  seminaries,  but  the  men  are  not  to  be 
found.  On  the  other  hand  complaints  are  coming,  loud  and  deep,  as  to  the  qualifications 
of  many  that  are  entering  the  ministry.  From  these  and  kindred  alarming  facts  it  seems 
evident  that  existing  methods  and  influences  are  not  furnishing  the  needed  supply  of 
suitable  men  for  the  sacred  office. 

May  it  not  be  that  God  in  His  providence  is  shutting  us  up  in  this  painful  emergency 
to  make  us  see  and  feel  that  we  have  relied  too  much  on  ourselves  and  too  little  on 
Him ;  that  we  have  not  depended  upon  the  divine  Head  of  the  Church  for  this,  its 
greatest  gift. 

But  we  rejoice  that  there  is  a  divinely  appointed  remedy  for  this  very  thing.  On  the 
one  hand  we  are  assured  that  the  Son  of  man  holds  the  stars  or  the  ministers  in  His  right 
hand,  hence  that  it  is  His  to  give  as  well  as  to  guide  them,  Moreover,  and  chiefly,  there 
is  a  very  special  remedy  in  the  wonderful  promise  "  Pray  ye  the  Lord  of  the  harvest  that 
He  should  send  forth  more  laborers."  This  is  a  very  extraordinary  engagement  of  our 
Lord  which  has  never  been  suitably  appreciated  or  even  understood ;  in  this  there  is  a 
sure  remedy  for  our  existing  perplexities.  Above  all  else,  and  for  all  our  wants  we  need 
prayer — prayer,  fervent,  general  and  persevering.  Let  this  be  offered  in  faith  and  deliver- 
ance will  come. 

We,  therefore,  enjoin  that  prayer  be  offered  for  a  supply  of  well-furnished  and  Godly 
ministers,  upon  our  {nivate  members,  upon  our  ministers  and  upon  all  our  Church  courts. 

Your  committee  would  submit  the  following  recommendaticns : 

1.  That  the  Assembly  commend  the  praise- worthy  industry  and  fidelity  of  the  Board 
in  the  administration  of  the  year  now  closing. 

2.  That  we  cordially  commend  the  general  work  of  the  Secretary,  and  especially 
congratulate  him  on  his  success  in  enlisting  individuals  in  the  work  of  aiding  particular 
candidates. 

3.  That  the  members  of  this  Assembly  pledge  themselves  to  do  what  they  can  to 
increase  the  contributions  of  the  churches  for  the  coming  year  to  the  sum  of  $100,000. 

4.  That  in  view  of  the  present  emergency  a  special  committee  be  appointed  to  take 
the  whole  subject  under  advisement  in  conference  with  the  Board,  chiefly  to  prepare  a 
circular  on  the  subject  and  send  it  forth  to  all  our  churches,  and  to  report  to  the  next 
General  Assembly. 

5.  That  the  Assembly  ratify  the  Board's  election  of  George  IL  Stuart,  Jr.,  in  place  of 
Henry  N.  Paul,  resigned,  and  of  George  Peirce,  Esq.,  in  place  of  Joseph  M.  Collingwood ; 
and  that  the  following  members,  whose  term  of  oflfice  expires  this  year,  be  re-elected  for  a 
term  of  three  years,  namely:  Ministers — Samuel  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  J.  H.  Munro, 
D.  D.,  and  £.  B.  Hodge ;  and  Laymen — James  F.  Gayley,  M.  D.,  Charles  H.  Mathews, 

Esq.,  and  George  Peirce,  B^q. 

S.  J.  McPHERSON, 

Chairman. 

In  accordance  with  the  fourth  recommendation,  the  following  Committee  was  ap- 
pointed:— Proft.  E.  D.  Morris,  D.  D.,  Thomas  S.  Hastings,  D.  D.,  Thomas  H.  Robin- 
son, D.  D.,  William  M.  Paxton,  D.  D.,  LL.  D. ;  Elders  Justice  William  Strong,  S.  B. 
BrowneUy  Cyrus  Peck^  Logan  C.  Murray,  John  B.  Macpherson,  S.  C.  Perkins.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING    TO 

CgNDIDfflTES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 

I.— Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of  the 
Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Elducation  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Ciospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church ;  and  the  Presbytery 
i.s  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  those 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly* by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  belong ;  and  he  should 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee 
after  such  rcquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommendation  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to  which  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  m variably  be  required  by  the  Board :  What 
is  the  candidate's  name  ?  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Is  the  Presbytery  satisfied  as  to  his  ex- 
perimental piety?  As  to  his  motives  for  seeking  the  ministry?  As  to  his  talents?  As 
to  his  health?  As  to  his  promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  fVom  expensive  and 
injurious  habits  ?  AVhat  is  the  lowest  amount  of  pecuniary  aid  required  to  supplement 
his  really  necessary  expenses  till  the  end  of  the  present  collegiate  year  ?  Of  what  congre- 
gation is  he  a  member  ?  How  long  has  he  been  in  the  communion  of  the  Church  ? 
What  is  his  s'age  of  study  ?  Where  studying  ?  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course 
or  its  e({uivalent  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give 
the  name  of  a  responsible  person  (usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or 
his  pastor )  through  whom  the  scholarship  can  be  sent. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
IVesbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommended  to  the  Pfesbyteiy  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a 


30 

tnember ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extrft- 

ordinary  cases. 

II  I. — SCHOIARSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  $150;  for  those  in  the  preparatory  course  the 
amount  shall  not  exceed  ^100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points:  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and  when  the 
reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall,  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
■1  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex- 
pected of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year, 
or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
ioi  the  work  of  the  ministry ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment ;  or  when  they  marry ;  or  when  they  receive 
assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society ;  or,  when  from  private  circum- 
stances, they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
interest,  in  case  a  student  fail  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  (unless 
it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented);  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 
of  the  Presbytertan  Church ;  or  if  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  (he  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
k  or  by  the  Board ;  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  is  the  organ,  without  furnishing  a  saisfactory  reason 

9.  A  scholarship  aflorded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  in- 
terest in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 

IV. — Car  EOF  Candidates. 

I.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  theh  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Pres- 


40 

hyterian  Churcli;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years*  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Educating  Commfttee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in.  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors'  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  core  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  ofBce  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  its  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  he  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery ;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Elducation,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 
who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  ill.):  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "  real  piety "  of  the  students, 
"  and  the  motives  which  have  induenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they 
are  allowed  to  take  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

X.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures ;  secret  prayer  and  meditation ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  at- 


41 

tendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  endeavors  to  promote 
the  salvation  of  others;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  Brst  obtain  the  consent 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given,  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued ; 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Pres- 
bytery, as  to  his  progress,  wants,  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  loo,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  from  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  possible,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 
the  Committees  of  Piresbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  re- 
quested to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  m  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  both  their  prepiratory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen*s  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  coimection  with  our  Church.

Seventieth  Annual  Report. 


With  gratitude  to  God  for  favors  manifold  and  thanks  to  friends 
for  their  helpfulness  by  word  and  deed,  the  Board  of  Education  pre- 
sents to  the  General  Assembly  its  Seventieth  Report.  The  days  of 
its  years  have  thus  been  three-score  and  ten  ;  and  by  reason  of  strength 
ever  increasing,  it  seems  to  give  promise  of  surviving  beyond  four- 
score. 

The  meetings  of  the  year  have  been  well  attended,  and  a  deep 
interest  and  happy  harmony  have  characterized  all  its  proceedings. 
Towards  its  close  two  members  left  us,  having  been  called  away 
to  distant  fields  of  labor— one,  our  president,  the  Rev.  J.  F.  Dripps, 
D.  D.,  who  had  served  in  his  office  with  great  acceptance  for  six  years, 
and  was  invited  to  settle  over  the  Independent  Presbyterian  Church 
in  Savannah,  Georgia,  and  the  other  the  Rev.  Marcus  A.  Brownson, 
who  was  invited  to  the  First  PresbyteriiEin  Church,  in  Detroit,  Michi- 
gan. Their  resignations  leave  two  vacancies  to  be  filled — one  in  the 
division  whose  term  expires  this  year,  and  one  in  that  which  expires 
next  year. 

The  number  of  candidates  recommended  to  the  Board  continues 
steadily  to  increase.  Those  accepted  amount  to  772,  which  makes  33  over 
those  of  the  year  previous.  Several  were  declined  because  they  came 
after  the  Board  had  decided  not  to  receive  any  more  in  consequence  of 
a  lack  of  funds ;  and  others,  who  being  "special  cases"  and  not  coming 
strictly  under  the  rules,  added  so  largely  to  the  number  of  this  class 
already  received  that  the  Board  thought  it  wise  to  wait  for  further 
warrant  from  the  Assembly  before  accepting  them.  Owing  evidently 
to  the  great  demand  for  laborers,  the  Presbyteries  seem  to  have  been 
forced  to  recommend  to  us  more  than  usual  of  those  who  proposed  to 
take  a  short  course  of  study  in  preparation  for  ordination.  The  ques- 
tion presses  :  Shall  the  Board  encourage  them  in  this  tendency  ?  Shall 
its  rules  be  changed  in  this  direction?  It  is  referred  to  the  Assembly 
for  a  definite  answer.     The  Board  earnestly  requests  it. 

But  the  contributions  have  not  come  in  proportionately  with  the 
increase  of  the  candidates.     At  first,  soon  after  the  issue  of  the  circular 

8 


sent  out  by  the  Assembly's  oomniittee,  there  was  a  liberal  response  on 
the  part  of  many  Churches.  But  later  the  interest  awakened  seemed 
to  subside,  and  with  the  exception  of  a  few  notable  instances  of  la rge- 
heartedness  the  donations  have  been  mostly  small,  even  from  churches 
whose  size  warranted  the  hope  of  a  larger  blessing.  It  is  with  no 
little  wonder  that  we  look  at  the  long  columns  of  I's  and  2's  and 
5*8  that  run  down  our  day-book,  and  we  ask  ourselves,  can  it  be 
possible  that  the  pastors  or  elders  of  these  churches  have  let  their 
people  know  how  pressing  is  the  want  for  ministers  throughout  our 
country,  and  how  real  is  the  necessity  for  helping  to  educate  a  large 
portion  of  our  candidates,  if  we  would  have  them  such  as  our  work 
requires.  But  perhaps,  being  new-comers,  they  did  not  understand 
the  merits  of  the  cause ;  or  the  collection  was  taken  up  on  a  rainy 
day  ;  or  there  were  too  many  applications  for  money  crowding  each 
other ;  or  the  church  as  a  whole  had  been  prejudiced  against  the  policy 
and  work  of  the  Board  by  some  unfortunate  failure  in  the  character 
and  conduct  of  a  candidate  that  had  been  under  the  care  of  the  Board. 
We  will  not  therefore  complain ;  but  express  our  thanks  for  the 
amount  of  support  that  has  been  granted  during  the  year,  and  our  hope 
for  more  next  time. 

AN  IMPORTANT  QUESTION. 

Here,  perhaps,  it  may  be  well  to  consider  how  far  the  Presby- 
terian Church  is  actually  succeeding  in  supplying  itself  w^ith  a  ministry 
educated  up  to  its  standards.  Its  aim  is  high.  It  may  be  asked:  Is 
it  reaching  it?  The  answer  to  this  question  will  indicate  the  degree 
of  practicability  there  is  in  its  high  aim,  and  what  the  effort  to  attain 
it  calls  for.  In  determining  this  matter  it  will  l)e  fair  to  take  an 
average  of  the  supply  of  ministers  for  the  last  five  years,  and  compare 
it  with  the  average  demand. 

On  the  supposition  that  our  regularly  educated  ministers  are 
nearly  all  sent  out  from  our  Theological  Seminaries,  we  naturally  look 
to  their  catalogues  for  information  in  regard  to  supplies.  Taking  then 
the  number  of  graduates  from  our  twelve  Institutions,  including  those 
for  the  Germans  and  for  the  Colored  people,  we  find  that  they  have 
averaged  161  per  year  for  the  term  specified.  But  all  these  cannot 
be  counted  on  for  our  service.  A  number  come  from  other  bodies  to 
get  the  benefit  of  our  excellent  advantages,  and  will  in  all  likelihood 
return  to  them — some  to  the  Southern  Church,  full  forty  of  whom  are 


reported  in  a  Southern  journal  as  studying  with  us,  and  some  to  the 
North,  to  New  England  and  Canada.  Several  also  are  fitting  them- 
selves to  become  Professors  and  Teachers ;  and  some  may  prove 
incompetent.  Making  then  a  fair  deduction  of  at  least  twenty  on  these 
scores,  we  may  put  our  available  annual  supply  at  about  140  ministers. 
But  it  must  be  remembered  that  not  all  these  graduates  have  taken  a 
full  course  of  study.  A  few  are  admitted  to  the  Seminaries  as  excep- 
tional cases  and  are  permitted  to  dispense  with  Greek,  or  Hebrew,  or 
both  ;  and  a  still  larger  number  are  not  college  graduates.  Judging 
from  the  indications  in  the  catalogues  a  low  average  for  these 
classes  would  be  30  per  year ;  for  it  miist  be  borne  in  mind  that 
we  include  our  colored  institutions  in  our  estimate.  Accordingly 
our  fully  rounded  educated  supplies  furnishal  out  of  our  own  bo<ly 
may  be  reckoned  at  110  annually.  It  is  right,  however,  to  add  here 
that  there  has  been  an  increase  in  the  number  of  graduates  within  the 
last  two  of  the  five  yeai^s  under  consideration  which  gives  better  hope 
for  the  future. 

Now  for  the  demand.  With  the  above  mentionetl  140  graduates 
from  Seminaries,  there  is,  first  of  all,  a  gap  to  be  filled,  left  by  110 
ministers  who  die  annually,  plus  the  30  dismissed  to  other  bodies,  in 
all  140.  Then  there  are  over  1,000  vacant  churches  of  all  sizes  to  be 
supplied.  Besides  these,  we  are  adding  to  our  list  118  new  churches 
every  year,  which  form  our  net  increase  that  remains  after  losing  77  by 
dissolution  and  dismission.  So  much  for  the  adequacy  of  our  supply  of 
regularly  educated  men  to  meet  the  Iwmc  demand  alone.  It  must  be 
confessed  that  on  the  grade  of  our  standard  the  deficiency  of  the  supply 
is  painfully  large.  We  have  thus  far  been  hardly  more  than  hoKling 
our  own. 

But  there  is  another  source  of  supply  which  we  may  suppose  to 
be  drawn  from  our  body.  The  average  number  of  ordinatioi>s  is 
reported  at  166.  This  is  26  more  than  our  Seminary  graduates. 
Moreover  we  are  lic^ensing  179  candidates  yearly,  which  is  3i'  more. 
These  nu miners  reveal  approximately  the  extent  to  which  our  Presby- 
teries feel  constrained  to  call  into  service  partially  educated  men  to 
help  out  the  deficiency  just  shown.  So  far  arc  we  failing  to  keep  up 
to  our  standard  of  qualifications  in  the  ministry  we  are  furnishing. 

In  view  of  these  facts,  it  may  be  asked  how  we  are  getting  along 
as  well  as  we  are.     This  is  ex[)Iaine(l  by  another  important  fact.     We 


are  taking,  in  yearly  82  ministers  from  other  bodies  to  make 
up  for  our  lack.  This  is  nearly  three  times  as  many  as  we  give  in 
return.  And  several  of  these  bodies,  we  know,  ordain  on  a  lower 
grade  of  qualifications  than  that  fixed  by  us.  Still  further,  we  are 
admitting  into  our  churches  as  "  stated  supplies,"  ministers  who  do 
not  belong  to  our  Presbyteries.  How  many  these  are  it  would  be  diffi- 
cult to  state  exactly.  Some  years  ago  a  careful  statistician  reckoned  them 
at  about  two  hundred.  Such,  notwithstanding  the  large  number  and 
fine  character  of  our  institutions,  and  the  intelligence  and,  we  may 
add,  the  professed  piety  of  our  membership,  is  the  extent  to  which  we 
are  dependent  on  outside  help  for  carrying  on  our  work. 

Plainly  enough  then,  whatever  may  be  some  aspects  of  our  condi- 
tion which  seem  to  indicate  the  contrary,  we  are  far  from  meeting  the 
demand  in  the  number  of  ministers  that  we  are  supplying,  nor  are  we 
maintaining  our  standard  in  trying  to  do  so. 

Accordingly,  another  question  arises :  Is  our  Church  aiming  at 
the  impracticable?  Can  it  accomplish  what  it  has  set  out  for?  Or 
must  it  acknowledge  failure  and  change  its  policy  ?  Or,  again,  musf 
it  adhere  to  its  policy,  and  limit  its  efforts  at  church  expansion  ?  To 
keep  a  thousand  churches  constantly  vacant  in  its  own  body  is  a  source 
of  weakness.  To  have  seventy  dissolved  every  year,  largely  from 
want  of  care,  is  a  discredit  to  our  zeal,  and  shows  a  waste  of  missionary 
effort.  To  lower  its  standard  is  to  go  counter  to  its  long-cherished 
traditions,  and  to  abate  somewhat  of  its  high  claims  as  the  conservator 
of  sound  Christian  doctrine. 

One  thing  is  plain.  If  we  are  to  keep  to  our  policy  and  do  our 
full  share  in  the  evangelization  of  the  country  and  of  the  world,  it 
becomes  our  ministers  and  churches  to  put  forth  far  greater  efforts 
than  they  are  now  putting  forth,  to  enlist  young  men  in  the  Gospel 
service.  There  are  large  numbers  of  students  in  our  colleges,  profes- 
sedly religious  and  endowed  with  the  requisite  natural  gifts  for  the  min- 
istry, who  might, byan  earnest  and  thoughtful  presentation  of  the  claims 
of  Chrif?t  upon  them,  be  induced  to  consecrate  themselves  to  this  blessed 
calling.  And  this  should  be  the  work  both  of  pastors  and  professors. 
Much  has  been  done  in  this  line  by  individuals  who  had  thecause  at  heart : 
and  much  more  niijrht  be  done  bv  othei's  if  only  their  attention  were 
turned  to  tl:e  subject.  What  is  needed  is  a  truinj)et  voice  from  the 
General  Assembly  to  rouse  the  churches  to  a  just  consideration  of  our 


actual  condition,  and  to  earnest  prayer  and  effort  for  obtaining  more 
laborers  to  enter  into  the  waiting  harvest. 

The  Assembly  should  also  urge  the  ministers  to  a  more  explicit 
presentation  of  the  cause  to  their  churches  that  they  may  be  induced  to 
contribute  more  liberally  to  the  Board.  Our  yearly  experience  convinces 
us  that  the  meagrenessof  contributions  to  us  is  due  to  the  absence  of  infor- 
mation and  impulse  from  the  pulpit.  No  cause  that  requires  moral  effort 
can  be  left  to  take  care  of  itself.  If  it  is  to  be  properly  sustained  the 
reasons  and  motives  for  it  must  be  frequently  reiterated.  And  this  is 
a  duty  which  pre-eminently  devolves  on  the  ministers.  When  they 
send  us  candidates  for  aid  let  them  therefore  see  to  it  that  their  churches 
furnish  also  the  means  for  aid.  There  are  whole  Presbyteries  that  are 
sending  us  three  and  four  candidates  each,  while  all  the  funds  they 
send  will  not  amount  to  a  single  scholarship.  And  some  of  our  larger 
Synods  are  annually  drawing  two  and  nearly  three  times  as  much  from 
the  treasury  of  the  Board  as  they  contribute.  Under  such  circum- 
stances it  is  not  surprising  that  the  Board  should  feel  obliged  to  refuse 
candidates,  and  to  incur  a  heavy  debt  in  supporting  those  whom  it 
accepts.  If  the  Church  insists  on  having  liberally  educated  ministers, 
it  is  but  fair  that  it  should  help  to  educate  them  when  it  is 
necessarv.

CONSEQUENCES  OF  FAILURE. 

First,  this  large  dependence  on  ministers  from  other  bodies  can 
not  but  operate  unfavorably  in  many  instances.  Some  of  those  who 
have  come  to  us  in  their  maturity  from  closely  related  denominations 
have  undoubtedly  proved  to  be  most  valuable  accessions.  They  have 
joined  our  body  with  enlightened  convictions  and  their  names  are 
starred  upon  our  roll  of  honor.  But  can  this  l^e  asserted  of  all? 
Will  not  the  majority  l>e  likely  to  bring  with  them  their  old  habits 
and  preferences,  remain  in  ignoranc»e  of  our  ecclesiastical  polity  and 
and  methods  of  operation,  and  fail  to  develop  as  they  ought  the  faith 
and  activity  of  their  churches  homogeneously,  so  as  to  preserve  their 
Pi-esbyterian  character?  This  is  what  might  be  expected.  It  would  be 
strange  indeed  were  this  not  the  case.  Xor  is  it  surj)rising  that  so  many 
of  the  churches  under  their  management  give  little  or  nothing  to  many 
of  our  Boards,  not  Iwing  instructed  in  the  merits  of  their  causes,  or 
even  being  made  aware  of  their  existence.  Evidently  this  large  depend- 
ence on  alien  Iciiders,  while  it  adds  to  our  strength  in  part,  can  not  but 


8 

be  attended  with  serious  disadvantages.  Yet,  at  our  rate  of  minis- 
terial productiveness,  the  thing  is  inevitable.  The  churches  must  have 
preaching  and  care ;  else  they  die.  And  if  they  cannot  get  ministers  of 
their  own  kind,  they  naturally  g*et  them  where  they  can.  We  cannot 
blame  them. 

Another  result  is  the  temptation  on  the  part  of  churches  and  Pres- 
byteries to  license  and  ordain  imperfectly  educated  men  for  pulpit 
service.     The  recently  developed  activity  among  the  laity  has  brought 
into   exercise   such   gifts   of  effective  address   and   skill   in  dealing 
with  pei"Sons  religiously,  as  encourage  the  hope  of  success  in  the  min- 
istry even  without  a  scholastic  training.    Such  young  men  accordingly 
are  often  licensed  and  ordained  as  the}^  are  (no  provision  being  made 
for  giving  them  even  a  partial  education),  in  the  belief  that  they  will 
be  able  to  do  something  towards  sustaining  at  least  some  of  our  mission 
organizations.     And  it  must  be  confessed  that  not  a  little  good  has 
been  accomplished  by  them.     But  there  is  danger  that  such  licensing 
and  ordaining  of  men  trained  only  in  a  practical  school  will  open  a 
gap  too  wide  between  different  portions  of  our  ministry,  and  free  scope 
will  be  allowed  for  the  venting  of  crude  doctrines  and  opinions  and  of 
strange  interpretations  of  Scripture  under  the  sanction  of  our  church. 
And  is  not  this  an  evil  to  be  deprecated  and  avoided?     Yet  it  must  be 
incurred  if  we  fail  to  make  provision  for  educating  adequately  all  that 
appear  to  be  railed  of  Christ  to  his  service.     And  to  incur  it  is  to 
create  a  scandal  where  there  should  be  edification.     If  ever  there  was 
a  calling  which  required  a  good  training  in  those  who  are  engaged  in 
it,  it  is  the  Christian  ministry.     And  if  we  cannot  secure  in  all  a 
knowledge  of  science  and  philosophy  and  of  the  Greek  and  Hebrew 
languages,  let  us  insist  at  lejist  on  a  thorough  acquaintance  with  the 
English  Bible  and  with  the  doctrines  of  our  Church,  and  with  the  art 
of  public  discourse,  and  also  that  no  less  important  art  of  dealing  skill- 
fully with  individuals  in  all  their  varieties  of  age  and  character  and 
temperament  so  as  to  win  the  respect  and  confidence  of  the  congrega- 
tions served.     Better  this,  than  resort  so  largely  to  those  brought  up 
under  alien  influences.     Our  Church  should  see  that  she  makes  the 
most  of  her  own  sons  before  she  has  rec*ourse  to  comparative  strangers. 

PROSPECT  FOR  THE  COMING  YEAR. 

The  prospect  of  supplies  for  the  coming  year  as  indicated  by  the 
catalogues  of  our  Theological  Seminaries  is  an  improvement  on  that  of 
last  year. 


9 

The  graduates  from  Princeton  number  53,  an  increase  of  1  ;  from 
Western,  18,  a  decrease  of  4  ;  from  Auburn,  32,  an  increase  of  10; 
from  Lane,  14,  a  decrease  of  5;  from  MeOn-mick,  41,  an  increase  of 
6  ;  From  Danville,  2,  an  increase  of  2  ;  from  Sun  Francisco,  2  ;  from 
Biddle,  5,  one  more;  from  Lincoln,  IH,  an  increase  of  8;  from  the 
German  Theological  School  at  Bloomfield,  5,  two  more;  from  that  at 
Dubuque,  4;  total,  194.  This  is  a  happy  advance  of  16  beyond  the 
number  last  year.  Yet  it  must  be  remembered  that  all  these  are  not 
in  our  connec^tion. 

But  a  review  of  the  above  figures  shows  that  the  capacities  of 
several  of  our  Seminaries  for  accommodating  students  are  by  no  means 
exhausted.  They  could  take  in  many  more  very  profitably  if  only 
they  could  be  had.  And  why  can  they  not  be  had?  It  is  not  be- 
cause there  are  not  Christian  young  men  in  our  colleges  sulHcient 
enough  to  fill  them  and  meet  all  the  demands  for  ser\ice.  The  num- 
ber of  these  is  now  unusually  large.  What  is  needed  is  greater  effort 
to  turn  their  attention  to  the  high  claims  of  Christ  and  of  their  Church 
and  of  their  country  and  of  the  world  upon  their  spiritual  labors. 

CONTRIBUTIONS. 

The  number  of  churches  that  have  contributed  to  this  Board  the 
past  year  is  2900,  less  than  half  the  whole  number.  The  burden  of  this 
cause,  it  will  be  seen  is  sustained  by  a  comparatively  small  proportion 
of  our  congregations.  And  to  them  the  Church  as  a  whole  owes  a 
large  debt.  May  their  pulpits  always  be  filled  with  able  ministers  of 
the  new  covenant. 

The  result  of  this  withholding  by  the  others  has  been,  first,  the 
necessity  of  declining  17  recommendations  sent  to  us  by  the  Presbyteries 
of  men  who,  as  we  were  assured,  needed  help  and  were  worthy  of 
it,  and  would  be  obliged  to  suspend  their  studies  for  want  of  it.  This 
is  a  matter  to  be  deeply  regretted.  It  raises  a  question  which  the 
Board  begs  respectfully,  but  rarnehtiy,  to  put :  Whether  it  is  honest 
and  consistent  for  the  Ciiurch  to  go  on  praying  for  more  candi- 
dates for  the  ministry,  and  to  l)e  calling  upon  pastors  and  teachers  to 
urge  young  men  to  give  themselves  to  this  work,  in  face  of  the  liict 
that  the  Board  has  been  compelled  to  turn  back  during  the  past  year 
so  many  suitable  and  promising  young  men  simply  and  only  because 
of  the  lack  of  monev.  More  would  have  offered  themselves  had  their 
been    any  hope   of  aid.     Secondly,  there    has    been   a  necessity    for 


10 

keeping  the  scholarships  at  the  low  rate  of  $100  each.  This  is  too 
little,  only  about  one-third  of  a  student's  necessary  expenses  at  college. 
The  problem  of  obtaining  the  rest  is  with  many  a  very  hard 
one  to  solve.  It  breaks  them  down  in  health  and  spirits.  As  an 
illustration  of  this  we  take  the  liberty  of  citing  a  passage  from  a 
letter  written  to  us  quite  recently  by  one  who  is  well  reported  to  us  by 
his  professors.  It  was  dated  at  the  small  hours  of  the  night  when  the 
writer  ought  to  have  been  resting.  "  I  thank  you,"  he  writes,  "  for 
your  encouraging  words  and  prompt  relief.  I  am  pretty  certain  that 
I  would  not  now  be  in  college  and  would  have  abandoned  all  thought 
of  the  ministry  had  the  strain  continued  much  longer.  What  I  have 
suffered  here  for  the  last  two  years  is  enough  to  kill  a  man,  soul  and 
body.  I  am  far  from  being  out  of  poverty  yet,  as  my  only  income  still 
is  the  $10  a  month  which  I  get  for  working  two  evenings  a  week  and 
nearly  all  of  Saturday  and  all  of  Sunday.  If  I  do  not  get  something 
better  next  year  I  fear  I  shall  have  to  give  up  studying."  His  Pastor 
who  is  burdened  with  other  dependents  has  also  kindly  aided  him  with 
a  suit  of  clothes.  Nor  is  this  by  any  means  a  solitary  case.  There 
are  some  now  under  our  care  who  started  in  their  course  of  study  with 
the  determination  of  working  their  way  through  independently,  but 
found  the  task  too  arduous  a  one  for  their  strength.  And  these  are 
the  men  whom  the  church  cannot  afiTord  to  lose.  Their  very  hardships 
are  indeed  a  part  of  their  training ;  but  these  should  not  be  allowed  to 
press  so  hard  as  to  break  them  down.  A  third  result  is  a  strong  argu- 
ment furnished  candidates  for  taking  a  short  cut  into  the  ministry — 
the  very  thing  which  the  Board  was  appointed  to  obviate. 

CANDIDATES    AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  care  of  the  Board  has  increased 
from  739  to  772.  They  are  distributed  through  their  coui-se  of  study 
as  follows :  In  the  Theological  Seminaries,  326  ;  in  Colleges,  387  ;  in 
the  Academic  department,  59. 

Classified  according  to  race  and  nationality :  37  are  Germans  ; 
108  Negroes;  3  Scandinavians;  3  Bohemians;  5  Bulgarians;  2 
Japanese  ;  1  Spaniard;  1  Mexican  ;  1  Brazilian  ;  1  Syrian  ;  I  Indian. 
The  rest  are  Anglo-Saxon,  Scotch  and  Irish. 

In  point  of  scholarship,  235  are  marked  "Iligh,'^  325  '^Medium  -f-," 
208  "Medium,''  4  "Low."  Those  marked  "Low"  are  retained 
on  special  information  from  their  instructors  that  their  excellence  in

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semi- 
narieSy  and  have  been  graduated  this  Spring,  are  as  follows :  From 
McCormick,  26  ;  Princeton,  25  ;  Lane,  11  ;  Union,  10 ;  Auburn,  9 ; 
Lincoln,  9;  Western,  7;  Dubuque,  4;  Newark,  4;  Biddle,  4;  Dan- 
ville, 2 ;  San  Francisco,  1 ;  Howard,  1. 

Four  promising  students  have  been  called  away  by  death. 

The  Board  has  been  obliged  to  drop  7  on  account  of  ill  health, 
and  for  marked  disqualifications  in  attainments  and  character ;  5 
have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support. 

The  Institutions  at  which  our  students  have  been  studying,  by 
the  advice  and  consent  of  our  Presbyteries,  are  tabulated  below.  It 
will  be  seen  that  they  are  not  all  in  direct  connection  with  our  Church. 
The  wish  of  the  Presbyteries  has  been  complied  with  in  every  instance 
where  the  rule  has  not  forbidden  it.  The  reason  most  com- 
monly alleged  for  desiring  to  study  in  other  than  our  own  institutions 
is  that  it  was  more  economical  or  more  convenient.

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Thursday,  May  23,  1889,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  Geo.  T.  Parves,  D.  D.,  which  was  accepted.  The  Assembly  was  then 
addressed  by  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others. 

The  Report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows  : 

The  receipts  of  the  Board  during  the  last  year,  from  all  sources,  have  been 
$89,934.69.  an  increase  of  about  $2,500  over  last  year.  But  of  this  total  only  $58,504.98 
ha^  come  from  the  churche<t,  a  decrease  of  about  $8,500  from  the  contributions  of  the 
previous  year.  Only  2,900  churches  have  contributed  to  the  Board,  and  the  vast  majority 
of  them  have  sent  very  small  sums.  The  report  justly  uses  this  language  :  **  It  is  with 
no  little  wonder  that  we  look  at  long  columns  of  ones,  twos  and  Bves  that  run  down  our 
day  book,  and  we  ask  ourselves  can  it  be  possible  that  the  pastors  or  the  elders  of  these 
churches  have  let  their  people  know  how  pressing  is  the  want  for  ministers  throughout 
our  country,  and  how  real  is  the  necessity  for  helping  to  educate  a  large  portion  o f 
candidates  if  we  would  have  them  such  as  our  work  requires.*' 

More  than  half  of  the  churches  have  contributed  absolutely  nothing.  Not  a  few  of 
the  Synods,  including  even  such  Urge,  strong  ones  as  Illinois,  Indiana  and  Ohio,  have 
drawn  from  the  treasury  of  the  Board  more  than  the  amount  of  their  gifts  to  it.  The 
evident  inference  from  all  thii  is  either  that  the  cause  has  not  been  presented  to  cur 
churches  or  that  the  Church  does  not  take  any  general  interest  in  it.  W^e  cannot  believe 
that  the  latter  is  the  true  explanation.  We  feel  sure  that  the  cause  has  not  been  fairly 
stated,  and,  if  so,* then  the  responsibility  for  the  comparative  failure  of  the  work  lies  in 
no  small  degree  upon  the  officers  of  the  Church  herself.  It  would  at  least  seem  manifest 
that  the  Church  has  little  reason  to  expect  a  sufficient  supply  of  men  when  she  proclaims 
herielf  unwilling  to  provide  adequately  for  the  education  of  those  who  need  her  help. 

the  number  of  candidates  increasing. 

While  the  receipts  are  far  from  satisfactory,  the  number  of  candidates  is  o;i  the 
increase.     The  committee  said : 

The  number  of  candidates,  moreover,  recommsnded  to  the   Board  continues  to 
increase,  so  that  her  resources  are  quite  exceeded  by  the  demand  which  already  exists 
Seven  hundred  and  seventy-two  were  acoepted  during  the  last  year,  thirty-three  more 
than  in  the  year  previous;  and  this  increase  of  candidates  is  matter  for  great  thankfulness 

37 


88 

though  the  supply  still  falls  far  short  of  the  demand.  Of  these  772,  fifty-nine  have  been 
pursuing  their  academic  studies,  387  have  been  in  colleges,  and  326  in  theological 
seminaries.  It  appears  from  the  report  of  the  special  committee,  already  submitted  to 
the  Assembly,  that  the  total  number  of  our  candidates  was  last  year  997 ;  this  would 
leave  only  225  not  aided  by  the  Board,  so  that  more  than  three- fourths  of  the  Church's 
candidates  for  the  ministry  require  assistance  in  obtaining  their  education.  This  fact 
should  be  laid  to  heart  by  the  whole  Church. 

The  ranks  of  the  minbtry  are  not  filled  from  the  wealthy  or  well-to-do  classes  of 
the  community.  All  honor  to  the  faithful  fathers  and  mothers  who,  in  comparative 
poverty,  consecrate  their  sons  to  the  service  of  Christ,  and  all  honor  to  the  boys  who 
turn  aside  from  the  allurements  of  wealth  to  struggle  into  the  ranks  of  the  ministry. 
But  the  fact  (whatever  we  may  think  of  it  or  however  we  may  explain  it)  proves  the 
necessity  of  such  an  agency  as  the  Board  of  Education.  It  is  utterly  incredible  that 
these  772  young  men  do  not  really  need,  then,  the  aid  which  they  receive.  We  have 
too  much  faith  in  their  honesty  and  in  our  Presbyteries  to  consider  such  a  thing  possible 
in  anything  but  a  few  cases.  If  the  Church  call  for  men,  the  men  who  offer  themselves 
require  aid  or  they  cannot  respond  to  our  appeal.  The  Church  must  manifestly  enlarge 
the  resources  of  the  Board  or  limit  her  supply  of  ministers. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  recommended : 

1.  That  our  churches  be  called  upon  to  pray  with  special  earnestness  that  the  Lord 
of  the  harvest  may  send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest ;  that  our  ministers  be  directed  to 
urge  the  claims  and  privileges  of  the  ministry  on  the  young  men  of  the  Church,  and 
that  our  people  be  solemnly  exhorted  to  hold  the  ministerial  office  in  such  honor  that 
the  children  of  our  families  may  be  led  to  consecrate  themselves  in  greater  numbers  to 
it.  To  this  end  we  also  recommend  that  on  the  first  Sabbath  of  next  October  (or  on  a 
Sabbath  as  near  thereto  as  may  be  convenient)  our  ministers  preach  to  young  men  with 
special  reference  to  the  Church's  need  of  ministers. 

2.  That  the  sessions  of  all  our  churches  be  enjoined  to  see  that  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion have  its  cause  fairly  presented  to  the  congregations  at  least  once  in  every  year. 

3.  That  the  Board  be  informed  that  in  the  opinion  of  this  Assembly  all  candidates 
recommended  by  Presbyteries  should  be  aided,  so  far  as  the  funds  will  allow  and  the 
conduct  and  diligence  of  the  candidates  prove  them  worthy ;  since  it  rests  with  the 
Presbyteries  to  determine  what  cases  should  be  regarded  as  **  extraordinary." 

4.  That  Presbyteries  be  directed  to  exercise  great  care  in  recognizing  cases  as 
"extraordinary." 

5.  That  the  Board  be  directed  to  exercise  its  discretion  in  making  its  appropriations, 
to  the  end  that  the  aid  received  by  the  candidates  of  the  same  grade  from  all  sources 
may  be  equalized  as  far  as  practicable. 

6.  That  in  view  of  the  large  numbers  of  ministers  who  yearly  enter  our  Church 
from  other  denominations,  the  Presbyteries  be  warned  of  their  responsibility  to  see  that 
these  brethren  are  not  only  in  full  harmony  with  our  system  of  doctrine  and  polity,  but 
that  they  are  competent  to  pass  the  same  tests  of  preparation  which  we  require  of  our 
own  sons. 

7.  That  each  Presbytery  be  directed  to  keep  a  permanent  register  in  which  shall  be 
recorded  the  names  of  all  students  that  come  under  its  care,  their  course  and  place  of 

■  study,  and,  if  possible,  their  subsequent  fields  of  labor,  and  that  Pres)>yteries  also  be 
careful  to  inform  the  Board  when  any  candidate  fails  to  carry  out  his  original  pledges. 

8.  That  Revs.  J.  S.  Macintosh,  D.  D.,  and  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D,  D.,  and  Elders 
William  Few  Smith,  Samuel  Field  and  George  H.  Stuart,  Jr.,  whose  terms  of  office  expire 
with  this  Assembly,  be  re-elected,  and  that  Rev.  Hughs  O.  Gibbons  be  elected  in  the 
place  made  vacant  by  the  resignation  of  Rev.  J.  F.  Dripps,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  John 
Dickson,  D.  D.,  in  the  place  made  vacant  by  the  resignation  of  Rev.  M.  A.  Brownson. 
Adopted.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING    TO 

CHNDIDfflTES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 

I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbytkrirs  of   ihk 
Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  imtil  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  tliose 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly'  by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  l)elong ;  and  he  should 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee 
after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommendation  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions^  to  which  defmite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  invariably  be  required  by  the  Board :  What 
is  the  candidate's  name  ?  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Is  the  IVesbytery  satisfied  as  to  his  ex- 
perimental piety  ?  As  to  his  motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  As  to  his  talents  ?  As 
to  his  health  ?  As  to  his  promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  fVom  expensive  and 
injurious  habits  ?  What  is  the  lowest  amount  of  pecuniary  aid  required  to  supplement 
his  really  necessary  expenses  till  the  end  of  the  present  collegiate  year  ?  Of  what  congre- 
gation is  he  a  member?  How  long  has  he  been  in  the  communion  of  the  Church? 
What  is  his  stage  of  study  ?  Where  studying  ?  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery  9 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course 
or  its  equivalent  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give 
the  name  of  a  responsible  person  (usually  a  meml>cr  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or 
his  pastor)  through  whom  the  scholarship  can  be  sent. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
Presbj-terian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  lx)dy,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a 


40 

member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extra- 
ordinary cases. 

III.— SCHOIJ^RSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  ^150;  for  those  in  the  preparatory  course  the 
amo^t  shall  not  exceed  $icx>. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  |X)ints:  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  pajment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  his  own  accord  turn  a&ide  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  a.ssistance,  and  when  the 
rciXJTts  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  Januar}'  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  In  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex- 
pected of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  pa>'ment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year, 
or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
loi  the  work  of  the  ministry ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment ;  or  when  they  marr}* ;  or  when  they  receive 
assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society ;  or,  when  from  private  circum- 
stances, they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8".  The  sum!*  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  l>e  refunded  to  it,  with 
interest*  in  case  a  student  fail  to  enter  (^n  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry'  (unless 
it  api>ears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented);  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church;  crif  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  fhe  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
ii  or  by  the  Board;  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  is  the  organ,  without  furnishing  a  saisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  prej^aration  for  it ;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  in- 
tere.st  in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
I  ho  use  of  the  means  necessarj'  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  ( lospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  "world. 

IV. — Care  of  C-\ni>iiutes. 

I.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraorclinar\-  cases,  and  theh  only  with  the 
explicit  pennission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  thc<.>logy,  in  institutions  that  s}-mpathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  PTes- 


41 

hyterian  Church;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
tlieir  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors'  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisor}'  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his  Ptesby- 
tery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufificient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  its  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  Ire  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  l)e  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 
who  are  aiout  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  ill.):  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
b)' the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "real  piety"  of  the  students, 
•*  and  the  motives  which  have  inlluenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  bef  )re  they 
are  allowed  to  take  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Partici'lar  DuTiFis  OF  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  aiTectionatcly  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures ;  secret  prayer  and  meditation ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  at* 


42 

tendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  endeavors  to  promote 
the  salvation  of  others;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
iiill  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  Wlien  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  consent 

-•  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given,  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued ; 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Pres- 
bjrtery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants,  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delay's  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  recei>tion  of  a  scholarsliip  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  po^sible  loo,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  fix>m  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  possible,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imf>osed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 
the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  re- 
quested to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  ^d  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of*  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in« 
stitution  will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  m  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1S7S,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  In  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  l^ard  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sjinpalhy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbjlerian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  lx>th  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

SEVENTY-FIRST  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


Grateful  to  God  for  a  ye^r  of  enlarged  work  and  for  the  cordial 
support  of  many  churches  and  of  special  friends,  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion respectfully  presents  to  the  (Jeneral  Assembly  its  Seventy-First 
Report. 

The  Board  re-organized  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  by  the 
election  of  the  Rev.  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  for  President,  and  the 
Rev.  James  M.  Crowell  D.D.,  for  Vice-President.  The  Corresponding 
Secretary  and  Treasurer  were  continued  the  same  as  before.  The 
Rev.  John  Dixon,  D.  D.,  who  was  appointed  to  fill  the  term  of 
Rev.  Marcus  A.  Brownson  resigned,  felt  it  to  be  his  duty,  after  full 
consideration  of  the  subject,  to  decline  his  appointment  which  he  did 
with  much  regret.  In  October  last,  Elder  H.  W.  Pitkin,  a  much 
valued  member  of  our  body  who  had  served  it  faithfully  for  twelve 
years  was  removed  from  us  by  death,  and  a  resolution  commemorative 
of  his  worth  was  adopted  and  put  on  record.  The  vacancies  thus 
made  have  not  been  filled.  The  meetings  of  the  Board  have  been  for 
the  most  part  well  attended  and  the  business  harmoniously  conducted. 

The  carefully  prepared  report  of  the  Assembly's  Committee,  of 
which  tile  Rev.  Dr.  Morris  was  Chairman,  and  which  was  read  before 
its  session  last  Spring,  seems  to  have  awakened  the  attention  of  our 
young  men  to  the  question  of  their  duty  towards  the  ministry  and  to 
have  secured  a  larger  number  of  enlistments  than  ever  before  by  its 
startling  facts  and  cogent  appeals.  In  all  913  have  been  recommended 
for  aid  by  their  Presbyteries.  Of  these  332  were  new  cases.  Out  of 
the  whoie  number  47  were  declined  from  apprehensions  of  incurring 
too  heavy  a  debt  at  the  end  of  the  year.  As  a  general  rule,  prefer- 
ence was  given  to  tihose  who  were  intending  to  take  a  full  course  of 
study,  or  were  already  in  College  or  in  the  Theological  Seminary. 
Academics  were  received  only  on  strong  representations  of  their  worth 
and  need.  The  Professors'  Reports  have  always  been  carefully 
scrutinised  and  every  instance  of  failure  on  the  part  of  a  student  to 
reach  a  fair  standing  on  all  the  topics  specified  has  been  noted  and 
inquired  into.  When  no  satisfactory  explanation  has  been  returned 
and  no  good  promise  of  usefulness  testified  to,  the  case  has  been 
reported  to  Presbytery  recommending  and  the  SclK)larship  withheld. 

8 


The  maiu  disheartening  fact  to  be  mentioned  is  that  the  contri- 
butions have  not  increased  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  candidates, 
as  was  hoped.  While  some  churches  have  doubled  their  gifts,  others 
have  lessened  theirs.  3,511  have  sent  us  nothing.  Many  of  these  are 
marked  vacant  on  the  Assembly's  roll;  others  have  only  '^ stated 
supplies  "  in  their  pulpits  who  do  not  remain  long  enough  in  charge 
to  take  the  causes  well  in  hand.  Some  ministers,  and  those  too  of 
large  churches,  decline  to  present  our  cause  altogether  or  even  to  give 
their  people  an  opportunity  to  contribute  to  it,  on  the  ground  that 
they  do  not  approve  of  the  policy  on  which  it  proceeds.  Others  find 
the  opposition  in  their  sessions.  From  the  Synodical  Reports  on 
Education  we  learn  that  the  lack  of  due  interest  in  this  Board  is 
chiefly  owing  to  the  neglect  of  ministers  to  set  forth  its  importance 
and  its  needs  to  their  congregations.  There  is  some  reason  to  think 
that  this  is  true. 

In  this  connection  we  take  the  liberty  of  pressing  one  point  of 
no  little  moment.  Inasmuch  as  the  Boards  were  designed  to  act  as 
the  organs  of  the  church  in  its  united  capacity,  working  as  one  body, 
undertaking  its  enterprises  and  incurring  obligations  in  reliance  on 
"that  which  every  joint  supplieth  according  to  the  working  in  due 
measure  of  each  several  part "  it  seems  of  the  utmost  importance  that 
this  design  should  be  thoroughly  understood  and  complied  with  ;  and 
that  all  oflScers  of  the  church,  especially  its  ministers,  should  act 
together  in  all  loyalty  for  the  furtherance  of  the  common  interests; 
and  moreover  that  the  Presbyteries,  with  whom  is  lodged  the  over- 
sight, or  episcopate,  with  us,  should  see  that  it  is  properly  executed. 
When  such  concurrent  action  is  lacking,  the  church  naturally  becomes 
hampered  in  its  movements.  That  there  is  need  of  this  stricter 
concurrence,  is  seen  in  the  embarrassments  in  which  this  Board,  for 
example,  is  involved  from  want  of  knowing  with  some  degree  of 
definiteness  what  to  rely  upon  in  arranging  its  plans  and  calculating 
its  outlays.  Nearly  all  the  applications  for  aid  with  us  come  in  at  the 
b^inning  of  the  scholastic  year,  and  the  order  Ls  that  the  Board  fulfill 
the  promises  made  to  the  students  then,  even  though  it  should  be 
necessary  to  borrow  the  money  in  order  to  do  it.  Accordingly  the 
problem  at  the  outset  is  to  ascertain  how  many  candidates  it  will  be 
safe  to  receive  and  at  what  amounts  the  scholarships  shall  be  put. 
But  in  the  endeavor  to  solve  this  problem  the  wisest  calculations  are 
oflen  foiled  by  failure  in  the  contributions  which  were  counted  on. 


So  it  happened  this  year.  When  it  was  inferred  from  the  great 
increase  of  candidates  and  from  the  earlier  contributions,  that  the 
diurches  were  waking  up  to  the  importance  of  this  cause  and  that 
there  would  surely  be  an  enlarged  income  correspondingly,  a  greater 
number  of  recommendations  than  usual  was  cautiously  but  hopefully 
accepted.  But  as  time  went  on,  there  came  a  change  ominous  of  a 
deficiency.  It  was  difficult  to  tell  what  to  do.  When  so  many  of 
the  Boards  were  out  with  their  appeals  for  assistance,  it  seemed  hardly 
wise  to  add  ours  to  theirs,  and  thus  multiply  before  the  public  the 
unpleasant  evidences  of  a  wide  delinquency  on  the  part  of  the  churches. 
But  there  was  no  other  course  left  for  us.  We  proclaimed  our  neces- 
sities through  all  the  journals.  We  sent  out  urgent  reminders  to  all 
the  churches  that  had  as  yet  given  us  nothing.  Several  chairmen  of 
our  Presbyterial  Committees  came  nobly  to  our  aasistance  at  no  small 
expense  of  time  and  money  in  stirring  their  brethren  up  to  duty,  and 
80  earned  our  warmest  thanks.  Besides  all  this  more  than  a  hundred 
letters  were  written  by  the  secretary  and  by  members  of  the  Board, 
and  directed  where  it  was  thought  they  would  do  the  most  good, 
showing  the  straitness  we  were  in,  and  urging  help  by  various 
arguments.  Some  kind  responses  were  thus  obtained.  But  notwith- 
standing these  efforts  we  regret  to  say  that  the  payment  of  last  year's 
debt  has  compelled  us  to  close  our  accounts  with  a  deficit  of  8,700.* 
Plain  enough  is  it  that  the  Church  needs  more  system,  more  concert  of 
action,  and  a  deeper  interest  in  all  its  measures  awakened  throughout 
its  entire  body  if  it  is  to  accomplish  anything  worthy  of  itself  with 
that  ease  and  readiness  which  becomes  it.  Constant  prodding  is 
annoying;  but  indifference  to  obligations  assumed  is,  on  the  other 
hand,  both  discreditable  and  harmful  when  exhibited  to  any  extent. 
When  churches  are  calling  aloud  for  more  educated  ministers  and 
young  men  moved  by  the  call  are  offering  themselves  to  the  service 
on  condition  of  being  aided  somewhat  in  their  preparation  for  it,  a 
very  discouraging  setback  is  it  for  them  to  be  refused  the  required 
help,  and  the  church  suffers  from  vacant  pulpits  in  consequence.  A 
painful  necessity  also  was  it  for  the  Board  to  be  obliged  to  decline 
several  of  the  applications  it  has  had  from  want  of  funds. 

*  Two  days  after  the  accounts  were  closed  for  the  year  we  were  gladdened  by  a  generoot 
gift  of  13,000,  from  a  fdend  who  has  onoe  and  again  come  to  our  relief  aforetime.  This  wai 
intended  to  go  in  with  the  contributions  of  the  year  just  ended.  Had  it  come  earlier  it  would 
have  reduced  our  reported  deficit  to  96,700 ;  a  less  sum  than  that  of  the  year  previous. 


THE  NECESSITY  UPON  US. 

Here  another  important  question  arises.  Can  the  Church  afford 
to  fail  in  this  fundamental  work  of  supplying  itself  with  a  sufficiency 
of  educated  men  to  fill  its  pulpits,  and  to  carry  on  its  educational  and 
missionary  enterprises?  The  Minutes  of  the  last  Assembly  report 
1,148  churches  vacant  of  which  fully  400  were,  judging  from  their 
numbers,  important  enough  to  command  the  entire  services  of  a 
minister.  The  others  are  small  in  membership  and  indicate  a  greater 
or  less  chance  for  living  according  to  the  amount  of  nurture  they  may 
get  and  the  size  of  the  place  they  are  planted  in.  It  must  be  remem- 
bered, however,  that  a  small  church  is  not  necessarily  a  weak  one. 
To  these  vacancies  must  be  added  our  average  net  increase  of  churches 
annually  which  Dr.  Morris  puts  at  150.  Last  year  it  was  188.  To 
meet  this  large  demand  made  by  our  vacancies  and  additions  it  appears 
from  the  same  authority  that  aside  from  the  589  ministers  without 
charge,  of  whom  the  number  that  can  be  relied  upon  for  steady  work 
may  be  reckoned  at  300,  we  are  producing  from  our  seminaries  an 
annual  average  of  only  145  graduates,  to  which  should  be  added  an 
average  of  30  per  annum  who  are  classed  as  "  extraordinary  cases,'' 
that  is,  not  regularly  educated.  Besides  these  we  are  drawing  from 
other  denominations  at  the  rate  of  82  annually.  Last  year  this 
number  swelled  to  105  in  the  line  of  a  steady  advance.  "  But  when 
we  have  to  deduct  from  the  total  of  these  supplies  the  number  that 
die  annually  which  may  be  put  at  93,  it  will  he  seen  that  our  annual 
rate  of  increase  in  ministers  is  inadequate  to  meet  the  denominational 
demand."     So  says  the  report  from  which  we  quote. 

In  this  connection  there  comes  in  another  consideration  which 
was  alluded  to  last  year  but  which  we  would  emphasize  anew.  It  is 
the  effect  which  this  large  dependence  on  outside  sources  for  our 
ministerial  supplies  must  have  on  the  homogeneousness  of  our  church, 
both  in  doctrine  and  polity,  and  also  in  its  administration.  It  is 
hardly  possible  for  men  who  have  not  been  brought  up  with  us  to 
become  at  once  thoroughly  of  us  and  take  a  deep  interest  in  all  our 
various  enterprises  and  understand  our  ways.  Such  identification 
usually  requires  time,  and  when  not  begun  early  is  seldom  complete. 
We  claim  therefore  that  the  church  owes  it  to  herself,  as  well  for  the 
maintenance  of  her  credit,  as  for  the  preservation  of  her  order,  to 
train  up  her  ministers  more  generally  from  out  of  her  own  sons,  and 
in  her  own  institutions,  and  thus  to  qualify  them  to  do  her  work  in 


her  own  way.  Not  that  we  should  not  welcome  from  abroad  all  in 
sympathy  with  us  who  desire  to  join  us.  But  what  we  want  is  more 
consolidation.  Differences  weaken.  If  we  would  advance  rapidly  in 
our  attempts  to  conquer  the  country  and  the  world  for  Christ  we  must 
move  together,  in  compact  phalanx,  and  with  uniform  step,  sustaining 
each  other  in  every  common  effort,  and  submitting  to  one  general 
control.  But  this  solidarity  can  never  be  secured  unless  we  have 
more  uniformity  and  hearty  concurrence  in  our  ministry,  even  though 
it  be  at  the  sacrifice  of  private  opinion. 

THE  PARTIAL  CJOURSE. 

The  question  as  to  the  extent  to  which  the  Board  should  coun- 
tenance those  who  are  intending  to  take  only  a  partial  course  of  study 
is  still  under  consideration.  While  it  has  kept  in  mind  the  opinion  of 
the  last  Assembly  that  it  should  "  aid  all  candidates  re(M)m  mended  by 
the  Presbyteries ;  leaving  it  with  them  to  determine  what  cases  should 
be  regarded  as  extraordinary,"  it  has  been  constrained  by  a  regard  for 
its  Constitution  as  well  as  by  the  lack  of  funds  to  make  a  discrimina- 
tion  in  favor  of  the  regular  cases.  The  number  aided  that  were  not 
in  full  accord  with  our  rules  is  63,  and  for  these  in  several  instances 
special  gifts  were  sent. 

CONTRIBUTIONS. 

The  number  of  churches  contributing  to  the  Board  was  3,008  a 
little  less  than  half  of  the  whole  number.  Special  sums  have  also 
been  sent  in  by  private  and  unnameable  friends,  with  expressions  of 
interest  that  were  very  gratifying.  The  whole  sum  received  from  all 
sources  amounts  to  $84,936.34  an  excess  of  $4,0001.65  for  current

In  September  of  1888  the  Board  of  Education  had  the  pleasure 
of  receiving  a  check  for  $10,000,  being  the  amount  in  full  due  under 
the  will  of  the  late  John  S.  Newberry,  of  Detroit,  Mich.  This  devise 
had  been  made  "  for  the  education  of  young  men  for  the  ministry,  to 
be  received  and  held  in  trust  by  the  Board  for  investment,  and  to  be 
called  the  '  Newberry  Fund/  its  income  to  be  used  exclusively  for  the 
education,  in  some  theological  institution,  of  one  young  man  for  the 
time  being,  and  from  time  to  time,  for  the  ministry." 

This  trust  was  gladly  accepted  by  the  Board,  and  because  of  the 
close  relatioils  which  the  testator  had  sustained  to  Lane  Theological 
Seminary,  it  was  resolved  "  that  the  first  award  of  the  income  qf  said 


8 

fund  be  given  to  one  of  the  students  in  that  institution  who^  upon  a 
competitive  examination  between  three  members  of  the  Junior  class  of 
1889,  recommended  by  the  faculty,  should  seem  the  best  deserving  of 
it  as  combining  the  qualifications  of  high  Christian  character,  good 
judgment  and  scholarship,  fitting  them  for  special  usefulness  in  the 
Gospel  ministry."  A  committee  of  the  Board  conducted  this  examina- 
tion, and,  after  a  trial  in  all  departments  of  collegiate  study  required, 
recommended  that  the  Newberry  scholarship  be  awarded  to  a  student 
in  the  Junior  Class  of  that  Seminary  who  had  obtained  the  highest 
number  of  marks  on  their  schedule  of  grades.  This  recommendation 
was  unanimously  adopted,  and  the  student  thus  benefitted  was  also 
urged,  now  that  he  was  freed  from  the  necessity  of  laboring  in  any 
way  for  his  support,  to  improve  his  vacation  in  such  reading  and 
study,  under  the  direction  of  the  faculty,  as  would  advance  him  still 
further  in  his  preparatory  course.     The  money  has  been  sent  him. 

One  advantage  resulting  from  such  prize  scholarships  is  that  it 
insures  the  direction  of  the  funds  to  the  worthiest,  so  far  as  rigid  exam- 
ination can  ascertain  who  is  the  worthiest,  and  furnishes  to  such  a 
candidate  still  further  the  means  of  cultivating  his  fine  gifts  and  mul- 
tiplying his  attainments  to  the  utmost,  and  thus  of  qualifying  himself 
for  some  eminent  position,  either  as  pastor  of  some  important  church, 
or  as  professor  or  president  in  some  of  our  literary  or  theological 
institutions.  Such  men  are  called  for  more  and  more  as  the  popula- 
tion of  our  country  increases ;  and  we  are  not  raising  enough  of  them. 
Our  candidates,  most  of  them,  are  too  much  straitened  in  resources 
to  obtain  the  means  for  a  large  and  liberal  culture,  and  are  obliged 
often  to  hasten  into  service  for  support  when  a  longer  course  of  study 
might  help  to  lift  them  into  the  highest  ranks  of  Christian  scholarship. 
These  ranks  are  by  no  means  full.  Might  not,  therefore,  the  example 
of  Mr.  Newberry  be  profitably  followed  by  others,  and  the  number 
of  these  prize  funds  be  increased,  to  the  great  benefit  of  our  church  ? 
The  Board  of  Education  at  present  allows  its  candidates  but  $100 
per  year,  a  sum  by  no  means  sufficient  to  cover  the  expenses  of  board, 
clothing,  books  and  travel.  Only  to  double  or  triple  this  amount 
would,  therefore,  still  be  a  prize  worthy  of  consideration  and  prove 
very  helpful. 

CANDIDATES   AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  care  of  the  Board  has  increased 
from  772  to  839.     They  were  distributed  through  their  course  of  study 


as  follows  :  in  the  Theological  seminaries,  357  ;  in  Colleges,  406 ;  in 
the  Preparatory  department,  76. 

Classified  according  to  their  nationality  and  race :  36  are  (Jer- 
mans;  110  Negroes;  5  Scandinavians;  4  Bohemians;  2  Japanese; 
1  Spaniard ;  1  Mexican  ;  1  Brazilian ;  5  Bulgarians  ;  1  Turk ;  1 
Syrian.     The  rest  are  American,  Scotch,  Irish  and  Dutch. 

In  point  of  scholarship  270  are  marked  high ;  268  medium -f; 
234  medium;  14  medium — ;  10  low.  A  few  of  those  marked  below 
medium  have  been  retained  on  special  information  from  their  instructors 
that  their  excellence  in  other  respects  warrants  good  hope  of  success  in 
the  ministry;  6  have  been  obliged  to  suspend  study  on  account  of  ill- 
health;  4  have  been  dropped  for  marked  disqualifications  in  ability 
and  conduct ;  7  have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  sup- 
port ;  36,  though  accepted  by  the  Board  on  Presbyterial  recommenda- 
tions, were  not  reported  by  their  professors  as  needing  the  scholar- 
ships, and,  therefore,  they  were  not  paid.  One  promising  student  has 
been  called  away  by  death. 

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semi- 
naries, and  have  been  graduated  this  spring,  are  as  follows :  From 
McCormick,  31  ;  Princeton,  29;  Union,  16;  Lane,  11;  Western,  5; 
Auburn,  4 ;  Newark,  5 ;  Lincoln,  3 ;  Dubuque,  2. 

The  institutions  at  which  our  candidates  have  been  studying  are 
tabulated  below.

PROSPECT  OF  SUPPLIES   FOR  THE   COMING   YEAR. 

In  this  respect  the  catalogues  of  our  Theological  Seminaries  show 
a  still  further  advance  upon  that  of  last  year. 

The  graduates  from  Princeton  number  59,  an  increase  of  6. 
"  '*  Union  "       43,  '*  7. 

"  **  MacCormick  37,  a  decrease  of  4. 

**  **  Auburn  18,  an  increase  of  9. 

"  "  Lane  '*       17,  an  increase  of  3.

German  Theo.  school  at  Bloomfield,        5,  same  as  last  year, 

*'  '*  **  Dubuque,     2,  a  decrease  of  2. 

This  shows  a  total  of  213,  a  happy  advance  on  that  of  last  year  by 
18.  Yet  it  must  be  remembered  that  all  these  graduates  are  not  in  our 
connection,  and  can  not  be  counted  on  as  for  us.  How  many  are  to 
be  deducted  on  this  score  it  is  not  easv  to  ascertain.  But  notwith- 
standing  all  this  increase  it  is  plain  that  the  accommodations  at  these 
institutions  are  not  all  taken  up.  There  still  is  room.  Would  that 
it  could  be  fully  occupied.  In  order  to  do  this  there  is  required  only 
a  little  more  eflfort  on  the  part  of  ministers  and  elders  and  Sabbath- 
school  teachers  to  enlist  the  young  men  under  their  care  in  the  blessed 
service,  and  on  the  part  of  parents  to  consecrate  their  sons  to  the  same 
high  calling. 

In  conclusion,  the  Board  would  respectfully  ask  whether  the  da 
for  presenting  the  cause  of  Ministerial  Education  before  the  Assembly 
can  not  be  changed  to  one  less  liableto  interruption.  For  many  years 
the  day  devoted  to  it  has  been  the  second  Thursday  of  the  session,  and 
this  is  the  day  on  which  the  delegates  from  corresponding  bodies  are 
heard  as  the  first  order.  And  as  their  speeches  are  of  an  uncertain  length 
it  often  happens  that  the  time  intended  for  this  cause  is  crowded  into 
very  narrow  limits,  and  but  little  opportunity  is  aflForded  for  that  full 
and  free  ventilation  which  it  needs.  It  has  greatly  suffered  in  conse- 
quence. There  are  points  connected  with  it  that  require  to  be  thor- 
oughly discussed,  and  objections  made  to  it  that  ought  to  be  removed 
by  an  open  canvass  of  their  force.  It  does  not  yet  command  that  full 
assent  of  the  church  which  is  essential  to  its  proper  support  and  which 
its  importance  demands. 

The  members  of  the  Board  whose  term  of  service  expires  this 
year  are  as  follows :  Ministera — George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.;  James  M. 
Crowell,  D.  D.  Etders — George  W.  Barr,  Andrew  Blair.  The  two 
vacancies  to  be  filled  belonging  to  the  same  term  are  those  of  John 
Dixon,  D.  D.,  resigned,  and  H.  \V.  Pitkin,  deceased. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted  by  order  of  the  Board. 

D.  W.  POOR, 
Corresponding  Secretary.

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday,  May  zgth,  1890,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  R.  M.  Patterson.  D.  D.,  which  was  accepted.  The  Assembly  was  then 
addressed  by  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  respectfully  reports  that  it  has  examined  the 
Seventy-First  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Education,  from  which  it  gleans  the  following 
&cts: 

The  whole  amount  of  money  received  from  all  sources  during  the  year  was  $84,936.34, 
an  advance  of  $4,001.65  upon  that  of  the  previous  year.  The  payment  of  the  preceding 
year's  debt,  however,  and  the  necessary  appropriations  to  an  enlarged  number  of  students 
compelled  the  Board  to  close  its  accounts  with  a  deficit  of  $8,700,  which  was  reduced  by 
the  receipt  two  days  thereafter  of  a  gift  of  $3,000.  intended  to  go  in  with  the  contributions 
of  the  year,  leaving  the  real  deficit,  therefor,  $5,700,  a  sum,  the  Committee  is  glad  to  note, 
less  than  that  of  the  previous  year. 

The  number  of  churches  contributing  this  year  is  3,008 ;  336  more  than  last  year,  but 
still  leaving  3. 511  non-contributing. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  has  increased  from  77a  to  839. 

The  number  recommended  by  their  presbytenes  was  913.  a  larger  number  than  ever 
before,  of  which  33a  were  new  casts,  but  of  the  whole  number  forty-seven  were  declined 
from  apprehensions  of  incurring  too  heavy  a  debt  at  the  end  of  the  year.  It  thus  appears 
.that  while  the  contributions  have  increased  they  have  not  increased  in  proportion  to  the 
number  of  candidates,  and  the  Board  had  to  reject  worthy  cases  because  the  Church  did 
not  furnish  it  with  the  means  for  their  support.  The  Lord  is  answering  the  prayer 
for  the  sending  of  more  laborers  into  the  harvest  by  putting  into  the  hearts  of  an  in- 
creasing number  of  young  men  the  desire  to  be  trained  for  the  work  ;  and  the  people  should 
unite  in  the  answer  to  the  prayer  by  aiding  the  young  men  in  their  preparation. 

The  number  of  graduates  from  our  theological  seminaries  last  year  was  213.  a  happy 
advance  on  that  of  the  preceding  year  by  eighteen,  and  of  that  number  106  were  under  the 
care  of  the  Board.  These  figures  suggest  the  great  value  of  the  Board.  As  it  is,  with 
those  who  come  to  us  from'  other  denominations,  the  annual  supply  of  ministers  is  inade- 
quate to  meet  the  demands  of  the  Church.  How  destitute  would  be  our  condition  without 
those  who,  unless  aided  as  they  are  by  the  Board,  could  not  pass  through  the  curriculum 
required  ? 

Special  attention  is  directed  in  the  Annual  Report  to  prize  scholarships,  suggested  by  a 
gift  of  $10,000  by  John  S.  Newberry,  of  Detroit,  Mich.;  the  income  to  be  appropriated, 
after  a  competitive  examination,  for  the  education  in  some  theological  institution,  of  one 
young  man  for  the  time  being,  and  from  time  to  time,  for  the  ipiiustr^.  The  report  adds 
y^ry  judiciously :

<< 


One  Advantage  resulting  from*  of  such  prixe  scholanhips  is  that  it  insures 
the  direction  of  the  funds  to  the  worthiest,  so  &r  as  rigid  examination  can  ascertain  who 
is  the  worthiest,  and  furnishes  to  such  a  candidate  still  further  the  means  of  cultivating  his 
fine  gifts  and  multiplying  his  attainments  to  the  utmost,  and  thus  qualifying  himself  for 
some  eminent  position,  either  as  pastor  of  some  important  church,  or  as  professor  or  president 
in  some  of  our  literary  or  theological  institutions.  Such  men  are  called  for  more  and  more 
as  the  population  of  our  country  increases,  and  we  are  not  raising  enough  of  them.  Our 
candidates,  most  of  them,  are  too  much  straitened  in  resources  to  obtain  the  means  for  a  large 
and  lil)eral  culture,  and  are  obliged  often  to  hasten  into  service  for  support  when  a  longer 
course  of  study  might  help  to  lift  them  into  the  highest  ranks  of  Christian  scholarship. 
These  ranks  are  by  no  means  full.  Might  not,  therefore,  the  example  of  Mr.  Newberry  be 
profitably  followed  by  others,  and  the  number  of  these  prize  funds  be  increased,  to  the  great 
l)enefit  of  our  Church  ?  The  Board  of  Education  at  present  allows  its  candidates  but  $ioo 
per  year,  a  sum  by  no  means  sufficient  to  cover  the  expenses  of  board,  clothing,  books  and 
trs^vel.  Only  to  double  or  treble  this  amount  would,  therefore,  still  be  a  prize  worthy  of 
consideration  and  prove  very  helpful. 

"It  would,  in  the  judgment  of  the  Committee,  be  highly  beneficial  to  establish  more  • 
such  scholarships,  so  as  to  enable  young  men  of  special  ability  under  the  care  of  the  Board 
to  prosecute  without  anxiety  studies  that  will  fit  them  for  important  work  in  the  Church. 
Church. 

**The  Secretary  of  the  Board,  in  his  intercourse  with  the  Committee,  in  which  he  has 
frankly  and  clearly  met  every  inquiry  and  fully  explained  the  principles  on  which  the 
Board  acts,  desires  the  Committee  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  the  number  of  vacant  churches 
and  of  pulpits  occupied  by  stated  supplies  have  an  injurious  influence  in  a  two-fold  way  on 
the  work  of  the  Board,  z.  In  such  churches  the  cause  is  either  not  presented  at  all  or  pre- 
sented in  a  way  that  is  not  effective :  hence,  non-contributiqg  churches  or  merely  nominal 
contributions,  a.  They  discourage  young  men  from  desiring  to  enter  the  ministry.  The 
candidate  system  is  not  alluring  to  them.  The  subject  is  touched  upon  in  one  of  the  special 
reports  that  has  been  set  down  for  consideration  in  connection  with  this  report.  The 
Committee  alludes  to  it  here  far  the  purpose  of  emphasizing  its  importance  and  turning 
the  minds  of  the  General  Assembly  the  more  intently  upon  the  recommendations  of  the 
special  committee." 

In  view  of  these  statements  the  Committee  recommend  the  adoption  of  the  following 

resolutions : 

X.  That  the  fidelity  to  their  trust  of  the  members  and  officers  of  the  Board  of  Education 
be  approved,  and  that  they  be  commended  anew  to  the  Churches  in  the  prosecution  of  the 
important  work  committed  to  them. 

a.  That  the  General  Assembly  mourns  the  loss  of  the  valuable  services  of  elder  H.  W. 
Pitkin,  a  member  of  the  Board,  who,  after  twelve  years'  service,  has  been  removed  by  death. 

3.  That  the  General  Assembly  expresses  its  pleasure  at  the  increasing  interest  in  the 
work  of  the  Board  as  manifested  by  the  increased  number  of  contributing  churches,  but 
regrets  to  note  that  so  many  are  still  non-contributing.  As  a  matter  of  loyalty  to  our 
Church  the  General  Assembly  emphasizes  the  duty  of  all  sessions  to  afford  their  congrega- 
tions the  opportunity  to  contribute  to  this  as  well  as  to  the  other  agencies  by  which  the 
Church  carries  on  its  work ;  and  it  directs  presbyteries  to  make  diligent  inquiry  as  to 
compliance  with  this  duty,  and  to  press  its  observance  upon  those  whose  reasons  for  non- 
compliance are  insufficient. 

4'  That  the  Board  be  advised  to  support  its  candidates  only  at  institutions  which  are 
under  or  in  harmony  with  our  Church ;  and  that  it  is  against  sound  principle  and  policy 
for  those  who  are  aided  by  the  contributions  of  our  people  to  be  committed  to  the  care  of 
institutions  of  learning  where  they  are  likely  to  be  diverted  from  our  own  seminaries  and 
ministry. 

5.  The  General  Assembly  calls  the  attention  of  wealthy  members  of  our  Church  to  the 
system  of  prize  scholarships,  by  which  they  can  help  to  prepare  yoimgmen  of  special  ability 
under  the  care  of  the  Board  for  important  literary  and  theological  positions  in  the  Church. 

6.  The  members  of  the  Board  whose  term  of  service  expires  this  year  are ;  MimisUr:, 
George  D.  Baker.  D.  D.;  James  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.;  Eldtrs,  George  W.  Barr.  Andrew 
Blair.    I1ie  Committee  recommends  that  they  be  re-elected. 

There  are  two  vacancies  caused  by  the  resignation  of  John  Dixon,  D.  D.,  and  the 
death  of  Elder  H.  W.  Pitkin. 

The  committee  recommends  the  election  of  the  Rev.  W.  C.  Rommel  to  fill  the  forme^ 
and  Elder  James  F.  Magee  the  Utter.    All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RBLATINQ    TO 

CffiNDIDflTES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I.— Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of  the 
Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  b  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  those 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  belong ;  and  he  should 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee 
after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommendation  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to  which  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  mvariably  be  required  by  the  Board :  What 
is  the  candidate's  name  ?  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Is  the  Presbytery  satisfied  as  to  his  ex- 
perimental piety  ?  As  to  his  motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  As  to  his  talents  ?  As 
to  his  health  ?  As  to  his  promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  fh>m  expensive  and 
injurious  habits  ?  A\liat  is  the  lowest  amount  of  pecuniary  aid  required  to  supplement 
his  really  necessary  expenses  till  the  end  of  the  present  collegiate  year  ?  Of  what  congre- 
gation is  he  a  member?  How  long  has  he  been  in  the  conmiunion  of  the  Church? 
What  is  his  s'^age  of  study  ?  Where  studying  ?  Has  he  been  reconmiended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course 
or  its  equivalent?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Shorter  Catechism?  Give 
the  name  of  a  responsible  person  (usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or 
his  pastor]  through  whom  the  scholarship  can  be  sent 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommeiided  to  the  Ptesbyteiy  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  • 


39 

member;  and  wbo  b  not  Mfficiendy  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extm> 

ordinary  cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  ^^150;  for  those  in  the  preparatory  course  the 
aii>ount  shall  not  exceed  |ioo. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particuIaT 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points:  ChriatK.1 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  iH  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance,  fitch  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  rtceipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and  when  the 
reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
it  the  date  of  it 

6.  The  Board  will  In  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex* 
peeled  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year, 
or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
ioi  the  work  of  the  ministry ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment;  or  when  they  marry;  or  when  they  receive 
issbtance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society ;  or,  when  from  private  circum* 
stances,  they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
faiteresL  in  case  a  student  fail  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  '(unless 
it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented);  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church;  cr  if  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
k  or  by  the  Board ;  or  il  lie  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  b  the  organ,  without  furnishing  a  saisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  w.armer  in- 
terest in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of 
omltiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

I.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  theh  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  IVes- 


40 

byterian  Church;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors*  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
hiterim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  its  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  uiy  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  info  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 
who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  ill.):  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "  real  piety "  of  the  students, 
**  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they 
are  allowed  to  take  Ihis  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  'this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Bpard  of 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  sp>ecial  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures ;  secret  prayer  and  meditation ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  ati 


41 

tendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  endeavors  to  promote 
the  salvation  of  others ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consbtent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  consent 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given,  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued ; 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  ^hall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Conunittee  of  his  Pres- 
bytery, as  to  his  progress,  wants,  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

V[. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable, him  to  reach  at  least  a  ' 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  100,  in  sciences  and  languages.  * 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  from  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  i^Iistory,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  possible,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 
the  Comhiittees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  re- 
quested to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution  will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount.  • 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  m  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen*s  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

SEVENTY-SECOND  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


With  gratitude  to  God  for  the  goodly  measure  of  success  enjoyed 
in  its  department  of  Church  work  during  the  past  year,  the  Board  of 
Education  presents  to  the  General  Assembly  its  Seventy-Second 
Report. 

All  the  officers  of  the  Board  were  continued  the  same  as  on  the 
previous  year,  viz.:  Rev.  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President ;  Rev. 
James  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  Vice-President;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Cor- 
responding Secretary;  and  Elder  Jacob  Wilson,  Treasurer. 

In  January  last  the  Board  suffered  a  severe  loss  in  the  death  of 
Elder  Samuel  Field,  one  of  its  most  valued  members  and  benefactors, 
having  belonged  to  it  from  the  time  of  the  reunion  in  1870;  a  man 
of  unstinted  generosity  in  contributing  to  its  funds,  zealous  in  the 
advocacy  of  its  cause  both  in  public  and  private,  and  confident  of  the 
readiness  of  the  Church  to  support  it  when  its  work  was  properly  under- 
stood.    The  vacancy  created  by  his  death  will  not  be  easily  filled. 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

The  impulse  given  to  the  enlistment  of  candidates  by  the  Report 
presented  by  Dr.  Morris  in  1889,  was  further  strengthened  by  that  ol 
Dr.  Niccolls  at  Saratoga  last  year,  as  it  revealed  still  more  fully  the  great 
need  of  ministers  and  scantiness  of  our  average  supplies  through  the 
Seminaries.  The  number  of  those  recommended  by  the  Presbyteries  has 
been  unprecedentedly  large,  in  all  955.  Of  these  not  less  than  86  were 
declined,  notwithstanding  the  urgency  with  which  several  of  them  were 
pressed  for  acceptance,  leaving  the  number  accepted  at  869  an  increase 
of  30  over  last  year.  Those  declined  were  mostly  in  the  academic 
course,  while  a  few  of  more  advanced  standing  were  late  comers  who 
appeared  after  it  became  evident  that  the  Board  could  not  consistently 
incur  any  further  obligations.  The  injury  inflicted  by  these  refusals 
is  one  to  be  deplored.  Our  ministry  will  lose  thereby  some  valuable 
accessions  ;  and  that  too  in  fields  whence  they  could  be  ill  spared. 
Indeed  the  call  for  aid  to  candidates  in  the  earlier  stages  of  their  edu- 
cation IS  growing  louder  and  louder  from  our  newly  populated  territories, 
where  churches  are  freshly  planted,  and  where  laborers  are  scarce,  and 
the  means  for  acquiring  an  education  are  scanty.  The  question  is :  can 
these  calls  te  met?

FINANCIAL   CONDITION. 

The  year  commenced  with  a  debt  of  $8,700.  It  was  a  weight  whose 
pressure  was  a  constant  restraint  upon  the  acceptance  of  recommenda- 
tions. The  Board  was  unwilling  to  run  the  risk  of  having  to  report  a 
heavier  deficit  at  the  end  of  the  year.  Yet  the  promises  of  support 
were  so  fair,  and  the  urgency  of  the  Presbyteries  was  so  strong,  and 
the  need  of  ministers  was  so  evident,  that  the  Board  was 
induced  to  venture  on  assuming  obligations  to  the  utmost  extent  that  a 
hopeful  prudence  would  allow.  Reliance  too  was  placed  upon  the 
increased  interest  that  was  likely  to  be  aroused  by  the  two  Reports 
presented  by  Drs.  Morris  and  Niccolls  and  also  on  the  special  appeals 
made  before  Synods  by  Dr.  Mutchmore,  who  at  his  own  expense  visited 
those  of  Indiana  and  Kentucky  and  Kansas,  while  the  Secretary  visited 
eight  9thers.  The  warm  welcome  every  where  received  at  these  visits 
and  the  stimulating  resolutions  passed,  supported  as  they  were  by  good 
speeches  from  the  members  were  very  encouraging.  Nor  were  they 
without  fruit.  Yet  the  crop  was  not  so  large  as  was  hoped  for.  As 
the  months  advanced  the  aspect  of  the  treasury  grew  ominous.  Pay- 
ments had  to  be  made  with  borrowed  money.  Towards  the  end  of  the 
year,  as  the  condition  of  things  waxed  worse,  letters  were  sent  to  all 
the  churches  that  had  not  as  yet  contributed  to  the  Board  stating  its 
sore  needs  and  begging  a  donation.  The  like  were  sent  also  to  the 
committees  of  the  Presbyteries,  together  with  lists  of  the  non-contribu- 
ting churches,  urging  them  to  stir  up  the  pure  minds  of  the  brethren  by 
way  of  reminding  them  of  their  duties  to  this  important  cause.  All 
was  done  that  could  be  done  to  raise  the  funds  required.  But  notwith- 
standing these  efforts,  the  Board  regrets  the  necessity  of  reporting  an 
addition  to  the  debt  of  last  year  of  $7,300  caused  in  part  by  the 
reception  of  an  increased  number  of  candidates  urged  upon  it,  and  in 
part  by  a  falling  off  in  legacies.  The  deficiency  now  amounts  to 
*$i 6,000  which  threatens  to  be  a  heavy  incubus  on  the  Board  next  year, 
compelling  it  to  refuse  many  a  recommendation  that  ought  to  be 
accepted.  Would  that  the  Presbyteries  that  recommend  candidates 
felt  more  keenly  the  obligation  to  contribute  towards  their  support 

A  review  of  the  list  of  contributions  received,  even  after  making 
due  allowance  for  the  poverty  and  feebleness  of  many  of  the  churches 
contributing — conditions  which  tend  to  enhance  the  riches  of  their 
liberality  even  in  the  small  gifts  they  have  sent,  still  suggests  the 


*NoTB. — Since  closing  our  accounts  and  up  to  the  time  of  going  to  prtss  over  ^,000  has  come  in 
which,  had  it  been  received   little  earlier  would  have  left  our  reported  debt  less  than  it  was  last  year. 


thought  that  in  too  many  instances  no  collection  was  taken  up,  and  the 
single  dollar  was  forwarded  to  save  appearances ;  or  if  it  was  taken  up,  that 
it  was  preceded  by  no  statement  of  the  nature  and  demands  of  the  cause. 
It  is  hardly  credible  that  any  church  of  respectable  size  would  lightly 
treat  an  interest  so  vital  to  the  welfare  and  spread  of  the  church  when 
duly  informed  of  its  importance.  Misapprehensions,  no  doubt,  may 
exist  in  the  minds  of  some  individuals  and  in  certain  communities  as  to 
the  necessity  of  aiding  young  men  in  their  course  of  study  for  the  min- 
istry, or  as  to  the  pressing  need  of  more  ministers  when  so  many 
seem  to  be  unemployed.  Prejudices,  too,  against  the  management  of 
the  Board  may  have  been  awakened  in  some  because  of  an  unworthy 
candidate  that  has  now  and  then  been  taken  under  its  care.  But  these 
obstructions  to  beneficence  might  easily  be  removed  by  fair  statements 
of  counter  facts  that  are  abundantly  on  hand.  And  for  presenting 
these  statements  the  Board  must  depend  on  the  ministers  in  charge.  If 
they  fail  in  this  particular,  it  is  virtually  helpless.  Instances  have 
come  to  light  where  a  feeble  church,  animated  by  the  zeal  of  its 
pastor  who  was  desirous  of  requiting  the  Board  for  what  it  had  done 
for  him,  has  sent  in  a  collection  far  exceeding  those  from  much  larger 
churches.  These  instances  awaken  the  wish  that  a  like  interest  and 
sense  of  obligation  were  more  pervasive.  What  an  army  of  volunteer 
agents  the  Board  would  then  have ! 

In  this  connection  a  perplexing  question  arises  as  to  the  best 
course  to  be  pursued  by  the  Board.  Shall  it  keep  the  scholarships 
at  the  present  diminished  rate  and  decline  all  applications  after  the 
scholarships  voted  have  amounted  to  its  average  income;  or  shall  it 
put  the  scholarships  at  a  still  lower  rate,  so  that  the  moneys  received 
may  be  distributed  among  the  entire  number  of  applicants  ?  The  ques- 
tion is  one  involving  serious  difficulties,  as  each  horn  of  the  alternative 
has  strong  arguments  in  its  favor.  The  Board  would  therefore  like  to 
have  the  judgment  of  the  Assembly  upon  it. 

THE    DEMAND. 

The  number  of  churches  marked  Vacant  in  the  Minutes  of  1890 
is  1,163,  an  excess  of  15  over  that  of  the  previous  year.  Many  of  these 
are  of  the  first  importance  and  find  it  not  easy  to  obtain  the  men  that 
suit.  Evidently  the  churches  are  growing  in  size  and  strength  more 
rapidly  than  capable  ministers  can  be  found  for  them.  The  conse- 
quence is  that  our  strong  men  are  called  frequently  from  place  to  place 
as  if  for  equal  distribution ;  and  they  often  leave  places  where,  by 
reason  of  the  peculiar  needs  of  the  region  and  the  great  influence 


they  have  acquired,  their  loss  is  severely  felt.      In  these  transfers  the 
West  is  generally  the  greatest  sufferer. 

A  sad  lack  of  laborers  is  also  reported  from  our  mission  fields  and 
smaller  churches.  During  the  year  ending  1890  not  less  than  222  new 
churches  were  organized  while  65  were  dissolved,  leaving  a  net  increase 
of  157,  for  many  of  which  no  adequate  provision  could  be  secured. 
And  there  is  prospect  of  a  large  increase  in  the  near  future  through  the 
labors  of  Sabbath -School  Missionaries  who  during  the  current  year  have 
established  over  1200  Sabbath-Schools  in  places  where  there  were  no 
religious  privileges  whatever.  Many  of  these,  we  are  told,  promise  soon 
to  become  the  nuclei  of  churches  requiring  pastoral  care.  The  fruits  ol 
such  noble  Evangelistic  work  it  becomes  the  church  to  secure  by 
putting  them  in  charge  of  a  settled  ministry. 

Still  further,  in  proportion  as  the  churches  at  the  South  among  the 
Freedipen  multiply,  the  candidates  from  this  class  are  increasing  upon 
us.  And  these  have  to  be  aided  from  the  Academic  stage  up  to  their 
graduation  in  Theology. 

Finally,  the  General  Assembly  has  urged  the  importance  of  a 
more  vigorous  prosecution  of  religious  labors  among  the  immigrant 
populations  that  are  pouring  in  upon  us  at  such  an  ominous  rate. 
And  men  for  these  fields  are  being  put  under  the  Board's  care  in 
increasing  numbers.  These,  too,  must  be  taken  into  account  when 
considering  the  question  of  the  need  of  more  ministers. 

In  view  of  these  facts,  it  will  not  do  for  our  sessions  and  churches 
to  judge  of  the  demand  in  question  by  certain  local  indications  that 
happen  to  fall  under  their  eye.  It  devolves  on  them  to  take  a  broader 
survey  of  the  situation,  and  apprehend  more  clearly  the  magnitude  and 
momentousness  of  the  work  which  has  been  committed  to  this  Board, 
and  throw  themselves  into  it  with  proportionate  zeal  and  liberality, 
seeking  to  enlist  in  the  blessed  service  of  ,the  Gospel  the  worthiest 
young  men  they  can  find,  and  then  making  adequate  contributions  for 
the  education  of  such  as  may  need  help  in  their  course  of  preparation. 
Both  are  required,  and  every  recommendation  of  a  candidate  by  a 
Presbytery  to  the  Board  should  be  regarded  as  a  motive  and  a  pledge 
for  every  church  in  that  Presbytery  to  contribute  something  towards 
his'support  while  studying. 

SUPPLIES. 

While  our  churches  are  multiplying  at  this  rapid  rate,  there  was 
only  a  small  increase  in  the  graduates  from  our  Theological  Seminaries 
last  year.  In  all  they  numbered  218,  only  12  in  advance  of  those 
the  year  previous,  the  increase  being  in  McCormick  and  Lane  Semi- 


naries.  Judging  somewhat  by  the  localities  these  graduates  are  from, 
we  shall  have  to  deduct  about  a  dozen  from  this  aggregate,  as  destined 
for  other  denominations.  What  accessions  have  been  made  by  the 
ordination  of  non-graduates  we  have  no  means  of  ascertaining 
Plainly  enough,  however,  our  educated  candidates  are  not  equaling  the 
demand  as  yet. 

As  has  often  been  emphasized,  the  failure  above  noted  results  in 
two  evils.  One  is,  that  it  necessitates  the  ordination  of  imperfectly 
trained  men  to  meet  the  pressing  want.  These,  in  many  instances, 
after  a  while,  betray  their  incompetency  and  become  supernumeraries. 
The  other  is,  a  resort  to  other  denominations  for  supplies  who  may  be 
only  in  partial  sympathy  with  us  and  understand  not  our  methods. 
And  with  noble  exceptions  these  often  disappoint  expectation  and  fail 
to  co-operate  with  us  heartily.  Our  true  policy,  therefore,  is  to 
consecrate  and  educate  our  own  sons  to  the  work  in  our  own  schools 
and  in  numbers  sufficient  to  meet  all  exigencies.  This  is  the  only  way 
to  secure  a  homogeneous  ministry,  strong  and  acceptable  to  the  people. 
Moreover  it  is  exceedingly  desirable  that  this  education  should  be 
conducted  as  nearly  as  possible  to  the  fields  where  the  young  men 
belong.  This  will  tend  to  keep  them  where  they  are  often  most  needed. 
This  is  said  with  special  reference  to  those  living  in  the  West  and  South. 
Proximity  frequently  has  a  determining  infliience  in  the  matter  ol 
employment  and  settlement,  and  also  of  fitness.  Instances  constantiy 
occur  where  the  sons  of  the  West,  when  educated  at  the  East,  remain 
at  the  East  to  the  loss  of  their  own  region,  especially  if  they  happen  to 
be  men  of  superior  ability.  This  fact  has  led  to  the  organization  of  a 
new  Theological  Seminary  at  Omaha,  though  some  of  our  Eastern 
Seminaries  are  by  no  means  full.  The  plea  is  :  We  must  have  our 
candidates  educated  at  home  if  we  are  to  carry  on  our  church  work 
successfully.  It  is  this  fact  also  which  gives  such  importance  in  a 
religious  point  of  view  to  the  Board  of  Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies, 
helping,  as  it  does,  to  found  its  institutions  upon  new  fields,  and  thus 
furnishing  facilities  for  the  education  of  young  men  resident  there.  At 
the  same  time,  it  must  be  remembered,  that  every  such  new  Institution 
makes  new  demands  upon  the  Board  of  Education  in  aid  of  the 
candidates  in  the  earlier  stages  of  their  studies. 

A  fact  worthy  of  note  in  this  connection,  is  that  proposals  have 
come  from  some  of  our  Missionary  Presbyteries  for  instituting  a  less 
protracted  and  costly  course  of  study  for  candidates  who  are  expected 
to  supply  our  smaller  country  churches  and  mission  fields.  This  plan  is 
now  adopted  by  our  Congregational  brethren  both  at  the  East  and  West, 


8 

provision  being  made  for  such  education  at  Bangor  and  at  Chicago,  as 
called  for  by  the  exigencies  of  the  situation.  Unless  oiir  Church  makes 
more  liberal  provision  for  educating  our  candidates,  a  like  measure 
may  be  forced  upon  us  to  save  our  churches.  An  average  of  two 
hundred  graduates  per  year  will  by  no  means  suffice  to  fill  our  vacancies, 
man  our  new  churches,  and  make  good  our  losses  by  death  and 
dismissal.  These  are  facts  which  require  constant  reiteration  and 
earnest  consideration. 

CANDIDATES  AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  care  of  the  Board  has  increased 
from  839  to  869.  They  are  distributed  through  their  course  of  study 
as  follows :  in  the  Theological  seminaries,  368  ;  in  Colleges,  443 ;  in 
the  Preparatory  department,  58. 

Classified  according  to  their  nationality  and  race  :  38  are  Germans  ; 
103  Negroes ;  4  Scandinavians  ;  i  Japanese ;  3  Bohemians ;  4  Bulgar- 
ians ;  I  Turk  ;  i  Spaniard  ;  3  Sioux  Indians  ;  6  Mexicans  ;  i  Brazilian. 
The  rest  are  American,  Scotch,  Irish  and  Dutch. 

In  point  of  scholarship  262  are  marked  high ;  320  medium+  ; 
244  medium ;  19  medium — ;  3  low.  A  few  of  those  marked  below 
medium  have  been  retained  oi)  special  information  from  their  instructors 
that  their  excellence  in  other  respects  warrants  good  hope  of  success 
in  the  ministry  ;  5  have  been  obliged  to  suspend  study  on  account  of 
ill  health ;  6  have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support ; 
4  have  been  called  away  by  death;  21  though  accepted  by  the  Board 
on  Presbyterial  recommendations,  were  not  reported  by  their  profes- 
sors as  needing  the  scholarship  and,  therefore,  they  were  not  paid. 

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semi- 
naries, and  have  been  graduated  this  spring,  are  as  follows:  From 
McCormick,  40;  Princeton,  22;  Union,  13;  Lane,  6;  Western,  7; 
Auburn,  4 ;  Biddle,  5  ;  Newark,  2.

APPENDIX. 


ACTION  OF  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following  named  persons  : 

Ministers  :  Elders  : 

John  Eaton,  LL.  D  ,  A.  N.  Blakeman, 

George  W.  F.  Birch,  D.  D.  .  W.  H.  Robertson, 

David  S.  Kennedy,  Edward  Camp, 

Benjamin  S.  Everett,  W.  B.  Dean. 

J.  W.  C.  WiLLOUGHBY,  ROBT.  MaULTON. 

Adolos  Allen,  W.  D.  Niles, 

Wm.  C.  Taylor,  C.  I.  Vail. 

George  N.  Luccock. 

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday.  May  25th,  1891,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  John  Eaton,  LL.  D. ,  which  was  accepted.  The  Assembly  was  then 
addressed  by  Rev.  G.  D.  Baker.  D,  D..  President,  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor.  D.  D.,  Corres- 
ponding Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows  : 

Your  Standing  Committee  on  Education  begs  leave  to  report  that  they  have  examined 
the  minutes  of  the  Board  and  find  them  in  due  form. 

Your  Committee  have  great  satisfaction  in  observing  in  the  statistics  reported  by  the 
Board,  evidence  which  awakens  the  hope  that  a  steady  advance  has  set  in,  which  is  to  con- 
tinue until  the  demands  of  the  Master  for  laborers  are  adequately  met  year  by  year. 

There  were  aided,  869  candidates  last  year,  or  an  increase  of  thirty  over  |he  previous 
year  ;  and  that  year  showed  an  increase  of  sixty-seven  over  its  predecessor. 

There  were  received  from  all  sources.  $90,573,  or  an  increase  of  $5,576  over  the  pre- 
vious year,  and  that  year  showed  an  increase  of  $4,001  over  its  predecessor. 

But  though  these  favorable  signs  encourage  hope,  in  passing  from  them,  we  meet 
deficiencies  pointing  to  delinquencies  and  inadequacy  in  what  is  now  done,  that  should 
quicken  us  to  obey  the  command :  ••  Pray  ye  the  Lord  of  the  harvest,"  and  to  arouse  the 
churches  to  all  the  effort  which  that  prayer  implies.     In  view  of  these  we  remark  : 

1.  There  is  a  lack  of  promptness  among  the  churches  in  taking  up  and  sending  in  their 
contributions.  The  Board  must  pay  its  students  and  square  its  accounts  at  a  fixed  date 
known  to  all :  but  when  its  books  were  closed,  there  was  found  an  increased  deficit  of 
$x6,ooo.  And  yet  it  appears  between  this  closing  and  the  printing  of  the  Report,  $8,000 
were  received  which,  had  it  been  sent  in  two  weeks  earlier  would  have  made  a  better 
showing.  Now,  all  churches  are  under  the  same  Master,  and  are  equally  obligated  with 
the  Board  of  Education  by  the  Rules  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  conform  to  the  same 
dates.  The  simple  virtue  of  promptness  would  therefore  serve  largely  to  obviate  such 
annoying  results. 

2.  But  notwithsunding  these  late  receipts,  there  still  remains  a  debt  of  $3, 000  to  go 
over  as  an  incubus  upon  the  work  of  the  next  year.  But  this  is  not  the  fault  of  the  Board, 
for  it  appears  that  the  Board,  in  obedience  to  the  Assembly,  after  balancing  all  probabilities 
and  calculating  on  a  moderate  increase  of  receipts,  and  after  cutting  down  the  number  of 
candidates  recommended,  gave  timely  and  repeated  notice  of  the  danger  of  lack  of  funds 


36 

which,  if  it  had  been  heeded,  would  have  secured  that  end  so  devoutly  to  be  wished — the 
closing  of  the  year  without  a  debt. 

3.  It  should  be  observed  further,  that  even  if  the  calculation  with  which  the  Board 
entered  upon  the  year  had  been  fully  realized,  the  amount  secured  would  have  been 
totally  inadequate.  It  would  not  have  sufficed  for  all  the  candidates  who  were  offered  by 
the  Presbyteries,  for  eighty-six  were  declined.  Nor  should  we  be  satisfied  to  fix  the  limits 
of  demand  for  money  by  the  number  of  candidates  recommended ;  for  though  all  these  had 
been  accepted  or  aided,  still  the  number  would  not  have  been  sufficient  if  tested  by  the  law 
of  supply  and  demand  as  applied  to  vacant  churches,  old  and  new.  and  the  men  needed  to 
supply  them.  The  minutes  of  1890  report  1,163  churches  vacant,  an  excess  of  fifteen  over  the 
previous  year,  and  222  new  ones  organized  against  sixty-five  disbanded,  leaving  an  increase 
of  157,  not  counting  those  which  could  have  been  organized  in  connection  with  the 
thousand  or  more  new  Sabbath-schools,  if  there  had  been  men  for  the  work.  The  gradu- 
ates of  the  Theological  Seminaries  numbered  twelve  more  than  the  previous  year,  or  218. 
This  gain  may  be  set  down  as  balanced  substantially  by  those  of  other  denominations  who 
study  in  our  Seminaries,  or  who.  for  various  causes,  fail  of  entering  our  Ministry.  The 
effort  of  this  General  Assembly  to  adjust  the  unsupplied  churches  and  unemployed 
Ministers,  by  supplying  needed  information,  and  arousing  the  Presbyteries  to  use  their 
direct  authority,  in  bringing  the  two  together  will,  we  may  hope,  take  away  one  cause  of 
reproach  and  hindrance  to  the  work  committed  to  the  Board  of  Education,  and  also  to 
remove  an  indeterminate  factor  from  the  problem  of  furnishing  a  sufficient  supply  of 
preachers.  We  should  not  be  led  to  conclude  that  we  have  enough  ministers  because  every 
attractive  vacancy  is  besieged  by  an  army  of  applicants,  or  because  so  many  churches,  in 
one  extreme  of  fostidiousness  or  another,  draw  the  line  of  acceptability  so  far  up  in 
maturity,  or,  put  ••  the  dead  line  "  for  rejection  so  near  the  point  of  greatest  efifectiveness. 

4.  If  members  of  the  General  Assembly  will  study  the  statistics  of  the  Board  by 
Synods,  they  will  find  facts  more  significant  than  any  comments  of  ours.  Take  e.  g., 
several  wealthy  Synods :  The  Synod  of  Baltimore  received  $253  more  than  it  contributed 
for  its  nineteen  candidates  ;  forty-seven  churches  giving  nothing.  The  Synod  of  Illinois, 
received  $1,221  more  than  it  gave.  The  Synod  of  Indiana  received  $3,761  more  than 
it  gave,  and^that  of  Ohio,  $4,251  more  than  it  gave.  Your  (Committee  should  add  that 
they  are  gratified  to  observe  the  extent  to  which  these  facts  are  attracting  attention  in 
several  Synods. 

5.  Further  emphasis  is  given  to  these  focts  by  a  slight  computation  showing  the  rate 
of  contribution  per  member.  True,  it  should  always  be  kept  in  mind  that  all  Churches 
cannot  do  alike  ;  there  is  a  reason  for  more  candidates  coming  from  the  country  and  more 
money  from  the  cities  in  proportion  to  church  membership  :  but  looking  at  five  churches 
in  one  of  our  prosperous  cities,  we  notice  that  the  average  contributions  per  member,  for  the 
year  was  in  one,  eight  cents ;  in  another,  six  cents  ;  in  two  others,  four  cents,  and  in  one. 
half  a  cent.  Taking  in  to  account  the  whole  body  of  churches,  it  appears  that  those  con- 
tributing, numbered  2,970.  those  not  contributing,  3.700.  Must  we  not  conclude,  that  in  a 
large  number  of  instances  Pastors,  or  Stated  Supplies,  or  Elders,  were  at  fault  in  not  draw- 
ing attention  to  the  cause  ?  Neither  Churches  nor  Presbyteries  would  justify  the  Board  in 
thus  administering  its  trust  in  disregard  of  the  duties  assigned  it  by  the  General  Aseembly. 
How  then  can  they  reckon  themselves  without  blame  in  neglecting  their  part  of  the  same 
duties  laid  upon  them  by  the  same  authority  ? 

6.  The  great  care  taken  by  the  Board  in  administering  its  trust,  especially  in  excep- 
tional cases,  leads  your  Committee  to  remark,  that  similar  care  on  the  part  of  Sessions, 
Presbyteries,  and  instructors  of  young  men,  would  remove  hindrances  and  increase 
satisfactory  resalts.  Need  we  say.  candidates  should  not  be  recommended  by  Presbyteries 
who  are  well  known  to  possess  sufficient  means  to  educate  themselves,  or  who  are  wasteful 
in  the  use  of  funds,  or  in  any  way  unfit  for  the  holy  office  either  in  ability,  conduct,  or 


37 

chancier  ?  Need  we  add  that  candidates  should  be  carefully  examined  before  Presbytery, 
especially  as  to  whether  they  have  already  gone  astray  in  Theology,  and  should  also  be  in 
constant  and  close  relations  with  their  Pastors  and  Committees  of  Presbytery,  and  to  be 
faithful  in  all  appropriate  church  work  and  in  holy  living  ? 

The  Bible  ideal  of  the  Ministry  should  be  so  disclosed,  so  made  real  by  the  instructions 
of  parents  and  preachers  and  in  the  life  of  the  minister,  and  so  supplemented  and  completed 
by  the  treatment  of  the  Minister  by  the  church,  that  this  realized  ideal  would  draw  to  it  the 
most  consecrated  young  men  of  promise.  More  likewise  should  be  done  to  lead  sons  of 
wealthy  families  to  enter  the  sacred  office.  Indeed,  a  greater  effort  on  the  part  of  Pastors 
and  Elders  to  inspire  young  men  to  a  course  of  study,  and  to  make  more  careful  prepara- 
tion for  life,  would,  by  advancing  the  general  education  of  the  whole  Church,  furnish  a 
more  cultivated  Eldership  and  bring  larger  numbers  forward  ready  to  judge  more  correctly 
of  their  duty  to  enter  the  Ministry.  Moreover,  never  should  it  be  true  that  the  nearer  a 
church  is  to  a  Theological  Seminary,  or  the  more  closely  ministers  are  scrutinized,  the  less 
is  the  ministry  esteemed,  or  the  less  willing  our  young  men  are  to  give  themselves  to  it,  or 
the  less  liberally  the  churches  bestow  their  means  for  preparation  for  it  or  for  its  support. 

7.  If  such  arguments  as  those  presented  by  Dr.  Morris,  and  such  activities  as  those  of 
our  Christian  Endeavor  Societies,  and  such  movements  as  that  recently  seen  among 
Students  towards  Foreign  Missions,  have  added  to  the  number  offering  for  the  Ministry, 
why  may  we  not  expect  that  still  other  motives  and  a  more  profound  sympathy  with  the 
work  of  the  Holy  Spirit  for  the  salvation  of  souls,  may  hasten  the  day  when  there  shall  be 
men  enough  to  preach  the  Gospel  to  every  perishing  soul  and  consecrated  means  forthcom- 
ing for  their  ample  support  ? 

8.  There  should  be  special  caution,  lest  in  the  exclusive  devotion  of  young  men  to 
school  and  to  books,  they  be  separated  from  the  work  of  God  among  His  people.  The 
Ministry  must  possess  more  than  voice  or  learning  or  the  mastery  of  its  theory.  It  must 
live  Christ  and  go  about  doing  good.  Not  a  few  are  embarrassed  in  their  work  or  remain 
unemployed  on  account  of  some  defect  in  manners  or  habits,  which  might  have  been  cor- 
rected by  proper  attention  on  the  part  of  advisers  or  teachers.  Some  also  are  waiting  for 
calls,  because  imperfectly  educated;  others  because  deficient  in  consecration;  and  many, 
because  they  have  not  sought  ••  the  mind  of  Christ "  in  the  choice  of  their 
vocation  as  well  as  in  the  formation  of  their  beliefs  and  conduct.  Let  every  Christian, 
especially  every  office-bearer.  Elder  or  Minister,  ask  himself,  what  is  ••  the  mind  of 
Christ ' '  with  reference  to  the  duties  he  owes  to  this  Board  and  to  the  cause  it  represents. 
A  large  share  of  our  Ministry  must  come  under  its  care.  They  are  to  supply  our  pulpits  at 
home,  and  fill  a  multitude  of  other  important  places,  teaching  or  directing  under  the  com- 
mand of  the  Church  ;  they  are  to  answer  the  Macedonian  cry  coming  in  from  distant  parts 
of  the  world.  Every  Board  of  the  Church  will  be  paralyzed  if  there  are  not  men  enough 
to  do  its  work.  The  Master  selected  His  disciples  and  taught  them,  but  gave  no  heed  to  a 
multitude  of  mutters  now  come  to  be  of  great  importance  among  His  followers,  and  these 
must  be  considered.  The  Hosts  of  the  Lord  can  not  go  forward  in  their  various  enter- 
prises without  leaders,  and  these  must  be  had.  In  the  entire  circle  of  our  Church  activi- 
ties, the  one  central  demand  is  the  supply  of  men. 

We  recommend  first,  that  the  minutes  of  the  Board  be  approved,    ad.  We  recom- 
mend that  Elder  Samuel  B.  Huey,  Esq.,  be  elected  to  fill  the  place  of  Samuel  Field,  Esq.. 
deceased,  in  the  class  of  1892,  and  that  Elder  R.  S.  Walton  be  elected  to  fill  the  place 
made  vacant  by  William  Few  Smith.  A.  M.,  resigned,  in  the  class  of  1892.  and  that  Elder 
William  Wood  be  elected  to  fill  the  place  made  vacant  by  Jas.  S.  McGee,  (declined  to 
serve)  class  of  1893.     Also  that  the  persons  whose  term  of  service  expires  this  year,  viz : 
Ministers— Samuel  A.  Mutchmore.  D.  D..  J.  H.  Munro,  D.  D..  Edward  B.  Hodge  : 
Elders— James  F.  Gayley,  M.  D.,  Charles  H.  Mathews,  Esq.,  George  Pierce.  Esq. ; 
be  re-elected  for  the  ensuing  three  years.

3d.  We  observe  with  satbfaction  in  the  statistics  before  us.  that  there  were  aided,  3 
Indians  and  103  negroes,  6  Mexicans,  38  Germans,  i  Japanese,  and  representatives  of 
other  nationalities,  and  we  would  be  specially  urgent  that  all  placed  in  any  relation  to 
these  races  and  nationalities  to  influence  them  religiously,  seek  carefully  from  among 
them  men  fit  to  become  preachers  of  the  Gospel  to  their  own  people.  They  are  needed, 
not  only  to  go  abroad,  but  also  for  the  conversion  of  multitudes  among  us,  by  the  neglect 
of  whom  we  not  only  imperil  their  own  salvation,  but  also  the  institutions  of  libertv  com- 
mitted to  our  care  for  the  more  speedy  conversion  of  the  world  to  Christ. 

4.  In  view  of  the  fact,  that  young  men,  able  to  support  themselves,  either  when 
entering  upon  their  studies,  or  becoming  able  to  do  so  before  closing  them,  have  mistakenly 
received  the  beneficence  of  the  church,  we  recommend  that  the  Board  be  given  larger 
discretion  in  such  cases  and  that  teachers  afford  them  needed  information. 

5.  In  view  of  present  delinquencies,  and  the  ample  authorities  of  Presbyteries,  we 
recommend  that  all  Presbyteries  adopt  the  plan  now  followed  by  some  with  most  satis- 
factory results — of  calling  for  a  report  from  each  church  once  a  year,  both  as  to  candi- 
dates and  donations  for  this  cause. 

6.  We  repeat  the  urgency  of  our  predecessors,  that  parents,  pastors,  and  teachers,  be 
watchful  to  find  young  men  for  this  special  service  of  the  Master  after  the  pattern  of  the 
Scriptures. 

7.  We  commend  the  care  taken  by  the  Board  in  the  care,  acceptance,  and  oversight 
of  candidates,  and  invite  Sessions  and  Presbyteries  to  renewed  fidelity  in  watching  over 
the  men  they  introduce  into  the  Ministry. 

8.  We  recommend  that  the  whole  question  be  prayerfully  restudied  and  restated, 
that  there  may  continue  to  be  an  increase  of  men,  and  that  there  may  be  a  corresponding 
increase  of  means  consecrated  to  this  purpose. 

9.  But  since  neither  the  amount  of  funds  nor  the  number  of  candidates  offered  should 
be  tne  measure  of  our  efforts,  we  urge  that  the  churches  should  not  measure  themselves  by 
themselves  or  their  future  by  the  inadequate  past,  but  that  they  seek  to  know  and  do  what 
the  Master  expects  of  us.  both  as  to  men  and  means  for  the  conversion  of  the  world  in  our 
day  and  generation.    All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING    TO 

CHNDIDfiTES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 

I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of  the 
Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministiy  of  the 
Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  esf>ecia]Iy  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  prof>er  notification  has  been 
given ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  those 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly'  by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  belong;  and  he  should - 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Exlucation  Committee 
after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommendation  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to  which  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  invariably  be  required  by  the  Board :  What 
is  the  candidate's  name  ?  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Is  the  Presbytery  satisfied  as  to  his  ex« 
perimental  piety  ?  As  to  his  motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  As  to  his  talents  ?  As 
to  his  health  ?  As  to  his  promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  ttom  expensive  and 
injurious  habits  ?  What  is  the  lowest  amount  of  pecuniary  aid  required  to  supplement 
his  really  necessary  expenses  till  the  end  of  the  present  collegiate  year  ?  Of  what  congre- 
gation is  he  a  member?  How  long  has  he  been  in  the  communion  of  the  Church? 
What  is  his  stage  of  study  ?  WTiere  studying  ?  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  be  pursued  a  collegiate  course 
or  its  equivalent  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Assembly's  Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give 
the  name  of  a  responsible  person  (usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or 
his  pastor )  through  whom  the  scholarship  can  be  sent. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  reoonmiaided  to  the  Plresbyteiy  fay  the  Seaoon  of  the  Church  of  which  be  is  a 


40 

member;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extra- 
ordinary cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  ^150;  for  those  in  the  preparatoiy  course  the 
amoimt  shall  not  exceed  ^100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points:  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  fimds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  iL 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and  when  the 
reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  6rst  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex- 
pected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year, 
01  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
loi  the  work  of  the  ministry ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment;  or  when  they  many;  or  when  they  receive 
assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society ;  or,  when  from  private  circum 
stances,  they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  ai)propriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
mterest*  in  case  a  student  fail  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  (unless 
it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented);  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  <v  if  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
K  or  by  the  Board ;  or  il  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Boara  is  the  oi^an,  without  furnishing  a  saisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, b  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  in- 
terest in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
the  u.se  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

I.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  theh  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  tlie  IVea- 


41 

Ijyitiuui  Chnich;  and,  when  prepared,  to  parsae  a  three  years'  eoane  of  theologIcA 
atudiea  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  it 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecudoo  of  their  prescribed  studies 
.  Qslil  the  dose. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  I^resbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental orecsight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowxnent  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  efiEectire  usefiilness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
■nally  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  infonnation  from  the  professors*  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  care  over  them,  also  vbit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
ititntion  where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they 
hanre  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  axmually  renewed  by  his  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations^  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
iaterim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  IVesbytery  at  its  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  c^>acity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
qoiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tainedy  or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
■nttee  00  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  IVesbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 
who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  III.):  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfeurtory  as  to  the  **  real  piety  *'  of  the  students, 
"  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they 
are  allowed  to  ta^e  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  of 
fulucaticm,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  afiectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
aoqnisitioos  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures;  secret  prayer  and  meditation;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
Ikemsehrea  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  a^ 


42 

tmdanort  at  regalar  meetings  cm  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  cndeavon  to  promule 
the  salvation  of  others;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  exanqitc: 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  (all  short  of  a 
fiiU  support  ol  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  (hends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  fupply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
kKTCtunr.  his  means  (or  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  conseoft 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Ptesbytery,  or  of  the  Board;  and  if  when  given,  he 
shall  not  be  absent  firom  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued: 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4«  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  >iim««4f^ 
loon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  IVe»- 
bytery,  at  to  his  progress,  wants,  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  l)y  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  doty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5-  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
proouM  to  oomply  with  all  the  rules  and  rqpilations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Spfx:ial  Rules  for  Colorkd  Candidates. 

1.  Hie  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  OS  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  piusue  a  lull  collegiate 
course  who  does  nut  evince  an  aptitude  for  &tudy  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
gnule  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  100,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  fiiom  hit 
ability  to  aa[uire  a  knowledge  of  the  saencos  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  Elnglish  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Frcdhyteries  und  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  impoctaiice 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  il 
&s  stHjn  as  posnilile,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 
the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  coinincnd  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  re- 
quf.tted  to  funiish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  cormnended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  aa 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  tlicir  needs,  therefore  when  the  Boarrl  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  Am  it  is  enjoined  m  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  In  the  Presbytery  to  which  tliey  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1S84  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  lioanl  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  s>inpathy  witk 
txith  the  doctrines  and  (xjlity  of  the  PresI  tyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  B(jard  are  nijoined  to  remain  in  connection  witli  their  proper  Presbyteries 
an<l  to  attend  in  Ixith  their  ])rep.'irator\-  ami  (?ollej»iatc  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  l)y  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

SEVENTY-THIRD  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


Grateful  to  God  for  mercies  manifold  during  the  past  year  the 
Board  of  Education  respectfully  presents  to  the  General  Assembly  its 
Seventy-third  Report.  The  only  change  that  has  occured  in  its  mem- 
bership was  occasioned  by  the  resignation  of  Samuel  B.  Huey,  Esq., 
and  the  election  of  John  W.  Patton,  Esq.,  to  fill  his  place  in  the  term 
of  service  which  expires  this  year.  Rudolph  M.  Schick,  Esq.,  was 
also  elected  in  place  of  William  Wood  who  was  appointed  by  the 
Assembly  last  year  but  declined  to  serve.  It  is  recommended  that 
these  elections  be  approved  by  the  Assembly. 

All  the  officers  of  the  Board  were  continued  the  same  as  last  year, 
viz.:  Rev.  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President;  Rev.  James  M.  Crowell, 
D.  D.,  Vice  President;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Corresponding  Secretary  ; 
and  Jacob  Wilson,  Treasurer. 

SPECIAL   ARRANGEMENTS. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  it  seemed  advisable,  first  of  all,  to 
take  the  financial  condition  into  special  consideration,  and  to  devise 
some  suitable  method  for  extinguishing  the  debt  of  $16,000  which  lay 
over  from  the  two  previous  years.  Accordingly  a  committee  was 
appointed  for  this  purpose,  and  after  due  deliberation  upon  its  recom- 
mendations, it  was  resolved, 

1.  That  for  this  the  current  fiscal  year  the  appropriations  be 
reduced  on  such  a  basis  that  the  grade  of  students  heretofore  receiving 
$100  shall  receive  $So,  and  the  grade  receiving  $80  shall  receive  $70 
per  annum. 

2.  That  at  the  end  of  the  present  fiscal  year,  if  the  state  of  the 
Treasury  will  permit  it,  there  shall  be  an  appropriation  to  each  student 
such  as  to  make  the  total  amount  received  by  him  during  the  fiscal 
year  as  nearly  as  possible  equal  to  the  full  yearly  appropriation  at  the 
existing  rate. 

3.  That  diligent  effort  be  made  to  drop  from  the  roll  of  benefici- 
aries any  students  who  may  be  found  able  to  dispense  with  aid,  and  to 
this  end  the  co-operation  of  such  beneficiaries  is  earnestly  invited. 

As  a  rule  also  it  was  determined  to  decline  the  recommendations 
of  all  such  as  are  denominated  ''special  cases"  /.  e.,  those  who  are 
intending  to  take  only  a  partial  course  of  study,  and  those  who  are  in 
the  Academic  Department,  (the  colored  students  excepted)  save  where 
extraordinary  reasons  were  presented  for  their  acceptance.

CANDIDATES  RECOMMENDED. 

Notwithstanding  the  limitations  thus  put  on  the  reception  of 
candidates  at  the  beginning  of  the  year,  it  is  found  at  the  close  that 
the  number  accepted  within  our  rule  is  only  eleven  less  than  that  reported 
last  year,  being  in  all  858.  The  applicants  declined  count  58.  Of 
course  it  must  be  understood  that  many  more  candidates  would 
have  applied,  had  they  not  been  deterred  by  a  knowledge  of  the 
restrictions  resolved  upon.  Some  of  these,  it  is  to  be  feared,  have 
been  lost  to  our  ministry.  Certain  intimations  received  however 
render  it  proper  to  suggest  in  this  connection  that  Presbyteries  and 
Presbyterial  Committees  be  urged  to  greater  strictness  in  ascertaining 
the  actual  need  of  aid,  and  the  real  merits  of  those  whom  they  recom- 
mend to  the  Board.  Those  who  have  enough  of  their  own  for  their 
education,  should  not  be  indulged  in  a  surplus  that  might  go  to  relieve 
the  absolute  necessities  of  others^  Our  condition  requires  the  closest 
economy  in  all  parties  concerned. 

FINANCIAL   CONDITION. 

In  the  matter  of  finances,  the  Board  is  happy  to  report  a  decided 
improvement.  Owing  in  part  to  the  above  mentioned  arrangements, 
and  in  part  to  the  more  liberal  responses  from  the  churches  in  answer 
to  the  numerous  appeals  sent  out  to  them  individually,*  it  has  been  able 
to  reduce  the  debt  of  $16,000  to  $7,000,  and  at  the  same  time  to  increase 
the  amount  promised  on  the  scholarships  by  an  addition  of  f  10  apiece. 
This  addition,  small  as  it  is,  has  given  great  relief  to  many  of  our  candi- 
dates who  had  been  sorely  pinched  by  the  first  curtailment,  but  who 
have  cheerfully  borne  the  privation  for  the  benefit  of  the  general  cause. 

Now  if  ministers  and  sessions  will  continue  to  impress  upon  their 
churches  the  fundamental  importance  of  the  work  of  this  Board  to 
every  interest  of  the  Church,  and  will  labor  to  remove  the  fallacious 
objections  which  a  superficial  observation  suggests  against  it,  there 
will  be  no  difficulty  in  its  taking  under  its  care  all  the  yoting  men  who 
seem  called  of  Christ  to  preach  His  Gospel,  but  have  not  the  means  to 
fit  themselves  for  the  service.  Moreover,  let  there  be  no  hesitation 
about  asking  weak  churches  to  contribute  because  of  the  smallness  of 
the  collection  that  might  be  taken  up.  The  treasurer  has  given  a 
**  receipt  with  thanks  ^^  for  all  sums  however  small  that  have  been  sent 
in ;  and  these  have  helped  to  swell  the  total  con^^iderably.  Small  begin- 
nings also  often  start  an  interest  that  results  in  large  benefits.  The 
chief  thing  is  to  present  the  cause  ai.d  make  the  people  feel  its  import- 
ance enough  to  give  something  toward  it.     Mention  also  should  be 


*  132  more  coatributing  churches  Uian  Uie  number  reported  last  year. 


made  of  the  fact  that  a  number  of  our  Pastors,  deeply  convinced  of  the 
necessity  of  keeping  this  Board  well  furnished  for  its  work,  have  stirred 
their  churches  up  to  double  their  contributions  to  it.  A  grateful 
recognition  should  also  be  made  of  the  faithful  services  of  many  church 
sessions  and  also' of  Presbyterial  Committees  who  have  taken  special 
pains,  even  at  their  own  expense,  by  writing  letters  and  otherwise  to 
remind  backward  churches  of  their  duty  to  us. 

Another  source  of  help  has  come  from  what  has  been  called  a 

GRATITUDE    FUND. 

Early  in  the  year,  on  learning  the  state  of  the  Board's  treasury,  a 
movement  was  started  by  the  Rev.  W.  C.  Covert,  of  St.  Paul  Park, 
Minnesota,  for  what  is  called  a  *' Gratitude  Fund,**  made  up  of 
voluntary  contributions  from  those  who  have  been  aided  by  the 
Board  in  the  course  of  their  education,  in  order  to  help  in  lifting  it  out 
of  its  present  embarrassments.  In  this  movement  the  Board  declined 
to  take  any  part,  even  by  way  of  official  approval.  But  of  course  it 
was  glad  to  accept  any  offerings  of  the  kind  when  freely  tendered. 
Appeals  were  accordingly  sent  out  by  Committees  chosen  from  among 
the  graduates  of  our  Theological  Seminaries  to  their  fellow  alumni 
beneficiaries;  and  these,  it  is  a  pleasure  to  state,  have  met  with  gen- 
erous responses.  A  large  number  of  letters  have  been  received  by  the 
Treasurer  containing  donations  of  various  amounts  and  accompanied 
with  pleasing  acknowledgments  of  their  indebtedness  to  the  Board 
and  of  the  pleasure  felt  in  testifying  of  the  same.  The  sum  thus 
contributed  amounts  to  $1,571.32  for  which  our  hearty  thanks  are  due. 

THE  GREAT  DEMAND. 

After  deducting  from  the  whole  number  of  churches  on  our  list 
those  in  our  Foreign  Mission  fields,  which  amount  in  all  to  169,  there 
remain  as  belonging  within  our  own  country's  limits  6901  churches  of 
every  size,  large  and  small.  For  taking  care  of  these  churches  we 
find,  after  deducting  from  the  whole  number  of  ministers  on  the  roll 
the  338  Foreign  Missionaries  and  the  356  engaged  as  Presidents, 
Professors,  Editors,  Teachers  and  the  like,  also  the  403  who  are 
Honorably  Retired,  who  can  not  be  counted  on  for  regular  church 
work,  that  there  are  in  all  51 19  who  are  marked  as  Pastors,  Stated 
Supplies,  Home  Missionaries,  and  Missionaries  of  various  other  desig- 
nations, besides  930  who  are  unemployed.  How  many  of  the  latter 
class  can  be  counted  upon  for  regular  service,  it  is  impossible  to  tell 
exactly.  The  usual  estimate  is  about  one-half.  So  that  for  ministering 
to  our  6901  churches  we  can  rely  upon  only  about  4654  ordained  men. 


It  is  not  surprising,  therefore,  that  1 1 83  churches  should  be  marked 
vacant.  True  it  is  that  many  of  these  are  too  weak  to  support  a 
Pastor,  and  several  of  them  are  cared  for  occasionally  by  the  Presby- 
terial  Missionaries.  Yet  after  making  all  proper  allowances  it  must 
be  said  that  the  surplus  of  vacant  churches  is  altogether  loo  large  for 
the  healthy  condition  of  our  ecclesiastical  body.  No  one  can  run  his 
eye  over  our  statistical  reports  and  see  the  long  lists  of  churches  ap- 
pended to  many  of  our  Presbyteries  and  marked  with  a  **  V,'*  and  not 
perceive  that  in  the  matter  of  Gospel  ministration  there  is  a  sad  defi- 
ciency either  of  preachers  or  of  endeavor  to  obtain  them  on  the  part 
of  the  authorities  in  charge.     Which  is  it  ? 

In  addition  to  the  already  existing  vacancies  it  must  be  remem- 
bered that  we  have  a  constant  accession  to  the  number  of  our  churches 
averaging  for  the  last  five  years  not  less  than  144  annually.  These, 
too,  must  be  provided  for.  Nor  should  we  leave  out  of  the  account 
the  constant  demand  for  men  by  the  Foreign  Mission  Board. 

SUPPLIES. 

To  meet  this  demand  our  Seminaries  graduated  this  year  228 
candidates,  all  of  whom,  however,  can  not  be  counted  on  for  our  sup- 
plies. A  few  of  them  will  go  to  other  denominations  to  which  they 
belong.  A  number  more  are  already  on  call  for  the  Foreign 
service.  Some  also  may  prove  unavailable.  The  remainder,  which  we 
will  put  at  200,  will  go  to  take  charge  of  our  vacancies  and  new 
churches,  and  also  to  fill  the  places  of  the  166  who  were  removed  from 
our  ranks  l^y  death  and  dismissal  last  year.  To  help  out  these  inade- 
quate supplies  from  our  Seminaries  we  called  in  from  other  denomi- 
nations not  less  than  90  ordained  men,  besides  ordaining  several  who 
did  not  enjoy  a  liberal  education,  but  of  whom  we  have  no  full  record. 
Then  there  are  the  well-nigh  500  unemployed  ministers  mentioned 
above  who  might  be  utilized  if  there  were  any  available  method  of 
placing  them  in  the  fields  which  they  could  cultivate.  In  the  lack  of 
such  a  method  we  notice  one  of  the  chief  defects  in  our  church  admin- 
istration, and  one  which  is  hindering  contributions  to  this  Board. 
People  ask  :  What  is  the  need  of  our  trying  to  raise  up  more  ministers 
when  we  have  so  many  that  are  not  improved  for  the  edification  of 
the  Church  ?  The  best  reply  which  the  Board  has  to  make  is  that  it 
is  responsible  for  only  a  small  proportion  of  the  unemployed  men,  that  a 
large  proportion  of  those  whom  it  has  helped  to  a  thorough  training 
for  their  work  are  occupying  positions  of  active  and  useful  service  both 
at  home  and  abroad.  This  will  be  seen  in  the  following  list  of  its 
beneficiaries.

Of  the  present  Roll  of  6,223  Ministers,  2,489  were  aided  by  the

Do  not  the  fruits  of  this  Board  justify  its  support  f 

Ninety-seven  per  cent,  of  the  average  amount  expended  each  year 
in  aiding  students  from  1870  to  1888  has  been  invested  in  men  who 
have  entered  the  ministry. 

OUR  WORK  AMONG  THE  GERMANS 

Not  the  least  important  branch  of  our  work  is  that  of  helping  to 
raise  up  ministers  for  this  most  influential  portion  of  our  immigrant 
population  and  thereby  assimilating  them  with  us.  Through  the 
labors  of  these  ministers  largely  trained  by  aid  of  the  Board  in  two  insti- 
tutions, one  in  Dubuque  and  the  other  in  Bloomheld,  N.  J.,  there 
are  now  in  connection  with  our  body  about  160  German  churches 
several  of  which,  to  quote  the  language  of  one  of  them,  '^  have  grown  to 
be  strong,  vigorous  and  independent,  standing  shoulder  to  shoulder 


8 

with  the  English-speaking  Church  and  working  with  one  mind  for  the 
furtherance  of  the  Lord's  kingdom."  This  is  a  very  encouraging 
exhibit,  and  shows  that  the  money  spent  in  this  branch  of  our  service 
has  not  been  in  vain.  We  mention  these  facts  also  to  elicit  greater 
interest  in  the  institutions  where  our  ministers  are  trained.  That  at 
Dubuque  now  has  thirty  students  under  the  care  of  effecient  teachers 
who  are  laboring  there  at  no  small  sacrifice  to  sustain  the  good  work  ; 
that  at  Bloomfield  has  fifty  students  all  no  less  well  cared  for.  The 
only  limitation  to  their  more  extended  usefulness  is  the  lack  of  funds 
both  to  enlarge  their  accommodations  and  to  support  the  Professors. 

FORM    FOR    RECOMMENDATION    OF    CANDIDATES. 

The  experience  of  the  past  few  years  has  suggested  some  altera- 
tions in  the  formula  of  recommendation  which  were  adopted  at  the  last 
meeting  of  the  Board,  to  be  submitted  to  the  General  Assembly  for  its 
consideration  and  approval  also,  if  found  advisable.  The  new  formula 
is  appended  to  this  report.     (See  second  page  of  cover.) 

CANDIDATES  AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  has 
decreased  from  869  (the  number  reported  last  year)  to  858.  They  are 
distributed  through  their  course  of  study  as  follows  :  in  the  Theolog- 
ical Seminaries,  387  ;  in  Colleges,  442  ;  in  Preparatory  studies,  29. 

Classified  according  to  their  nationality  and  race,  37  are  Germans ; 
89  Negroes  ;'  4  Bohemians  ;  4  Bulgarians ;  i  Japanese ;  i  Turk  ;  7 
Mexicans  ;  i  Spaniard  ;  i  Brazilian  ;  3  Scandinavians  ;  2  Sioux  Indians. 
The  rest  are  Americans,  Scotch,  Irish  and  Dutch. 

In  point  of  scholarship  239  are  marked  high  ;  290  medium+  ;  268 
medium;  15  medium— ;6.1ow.'  A  few  of  those  marked  below  medium  have 
been  retained  on  special  informaton  from  their  instructors  that  their  ex- 
cellence in  other  respects  warrants  good  hope  of  success  in  the  ministry. 
Six  have  been  obliged  to  suspend  study  on  account  of  ill  health  ;  13 
have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support ;  3  have  been 
called  away  by  death  ;  26  though  accepted  by  the  Board  on  Presbyterial 
recommendations,  were  not  reported  by  their  Professors  as  needing  the 
scholarships,  and  therefore  they  were  not  paid.  The  Board  has  been 
obliged  to  drop  6  candidates  on  account  of  low  scholarship ;  2  on 
account  of  immoralities  ;  and  2  who  have  married. 

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semin- 
aries and  have  been  graduated  this  spring,  are  as  follows:  from 
McCormick,  34;  Princeton,  17  ;  Union,  17 ;  Western,  7;  Auburn,  7  ; 
Lane,  4;  Newark,  5!  Lincoln,  6;  Biddle,  3;  Dubuque,  4;  Danville,  i.

Poor,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

Your  standing  Conmiittee  on  Education  desire  respectfully  to  submit  to  the  Assembly 
the  following  report : 

1.  The  Committee  have  made  a  careful  examination  of  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  and 
find  them  in  due  form.  They  take  great  pleasure  in  giving  a  hearty  commendation  to  the 
officers  and  members  of  the  Board  for  the  faithful  and  persevering  efforts  they  have  made 
daring  the  past  year  to  further  the  interests  of  this  great  and  deserving  cause.  These 
efforts  have  been  crowned  with  a  gratifying  degree  of  .««uccess.  The  number  of  churches 
contributing  to  this  cause  is  321  greater  than  during  the  preceding  year.  The  total 
amount  received  from  churches  and  Sabbath  schools  was  ^61,760.28.  The  grand  total 
received  firom  all  sources,  including  legacies,  was  ^91,735.12. 

2.  At  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  Board  found  themselves  burdened  with  a  debt  of 
^16,000.  One  of  the  first  things  to  be  done  was  to  devise  methods  by  which  this  debt 
might  be  extinguished.  To  effect  this  purpose  it  was  found  necessary  to  reduce  the 
amount  of  the  appropriations  to  the  students  under  its  care,  so  that  those  who  had  received 
^100  should  receive  |8o,  and  those  who  were  receiving  $80  should  receive  only  $70  per 
year.  This  was  done,  however,  with  the  understanding  that  at  the  end  of  the  present 
fiscal  year  if  the  state  of  the  treasury  would  permit  it,  there  should  be  an  additional  ap- 
propriation to  each  student,  to  make  up  as  far  as  possible,  for  the  reduction.  As  a  matter 
of  fact,  about  10  per  cent,  additional  was  allowed.  As  an  additional  help  in  the  matter 
of  redaction  of  the  debt,  it  was  resolved  to  drop  from  the  roll  of  beneficiaries  any  student 
who  might  be  found  able  to  dispense  with  aid  from  the  Board,  and  the  students  themselves 
were  earnestly  invited  to  co-operate  in  this  matter,  and  assist  the  Board  as  far  as 
possible. 


38 

It  also  resolved  to  decline  the  recommendatioDS  of  all  such  as  are  denominated 
''special/'  and  those  in  the  Academic  department — an  exception  being  made,  however,  in 
the  case  of  colored  and  foreign  students.  In  addition  to  all  this,  the  Board  determined 
that  earnest  appeals  should  be  made  to  the  churches,  and  as  a  matter  of  fact  these  appeals 
were  made,  and  everything  was  done,  to  place  the  Board  on  a  sound  financial  basis.  As 
the  result  of  all  this  earnest  work,  the  original  debt  of  ^16,000  was  reduced  to  ^7,ocx>, 
and  had  the  churches  been  a  little  more  prompt  in  making  their  remittances,  the  whole 
debt  would  have  been  extinguished. 

3.  It  is  worthy  of  notice  ancTa  matter  for  thanksgiving,  that  after  all  the  precautions 
and  reductions,  the  number  of  students  applying  for  aid  was  only  eleven  less  than  the  pre- 
ceding year,  the  whole  number  being  at  the  close  of  the  year  858 — as  against  869  in  the 
previous  year.  Fifty-eight  applicants  were  declined,  and  it  is  possible  that  many  others 
were  turned  aside  from  the  work  to  which  they  wished  to  devote  their  lives,  from  sheer 
inability  to  obtain  funds  to  carry  out  their  purpose  and  pay  their  bills.  This  is  one  of  the 
saddest  features  of  the  case. 

4.  Attention  should  be  called  at  this  point  to  one  of  the  methods  by  which  daring  the 
past  year  the  funds  were  aided  and  the  debt  diminished.  This  was  through  what  is  called 
the  "  Gratitude  Fund," — suggested  by  the  Rev.  W.  C.  Covert,  of  Minnesota.  The  idea 
was  that  ministers  who  had  received  aid  from  the  Board — while  preparing  for  their  work — 
should  have  the  privilege  of  making  contributions  in  aid  of  the  Board  in  the  day  of  its 
necessity.  The  sum  thus  contributed  to  constitute  the  '*  Gratitude  Fund  '*  amounted  for 
the  year  to  one  thousand  five-hundred  and  seventy-one  dollars  and  thirty-two  cents 

(^i»57i.32). 

5.  The  next  matter  to  which  your  Committee  would  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly 

is  the  present  great  and  ever  increasing  need  of  fresh  supplies  for  the  ministry.  We  must 
be  wide-awake  in  this  matter,  or  our  beloved  church  will  lag  behind.  Ponder  well  the 
following  facts.  In  addition  to  the  169  churches  of  this  denomination  in  foreign  fields, 
we  have  in  our  own  country  6,901  regularly  organized  churches. 

For  the  great  work  of  taking  care  of  these  churches,  after  deducting  338  Foreign 
Missionaries  and  356  engaged  as  Presidents,  professors,  editors  and  teachers,  there  are  but 
5,119  who  are  marked  as  pastors  and  stated  supplies — while  there  are  about  930  who  are 
from  various  causes  unemployed  in  the  work  of  the  ministry.  Some  of  these  are  aged, 
some  are  in  bad  health,  and  some  possibly  are  inefficient.  If  we  count  the  one  half  of  the 
unemployed  as  capable  of  labor  in  the  ministry,  it  leaves  but  4,654  men  to  supply  the 
wants  of  6,901  churches. 

As  a  consequence  of  all  this,  we  have  to  face  the  fact  that  1,183  of  o^''  churches  are 
now  marked  vacant,  and  while  many  of  them  are  small,  yet  in  one  sense  all  of  them  are 
important,  and  no  Presbyterian  church  should  be  left  to  die  for  want  of  an  under  shep- 
herd to  feed  and  foster  it.  The  Roman  Catholic  Church  does  not  leave  its  parishes 
vacant.  The  Methodist  Church  does  not  leave  its  little  churches  without  ministrations. 
Why  should  we  ? 

6.  Now  in  the  next  place  let  us  glance  briefly  at  the  source  of  supplies  for  this  great 
want. 

Our  Seminaries  graduated  this  year  only  228  men  for  the  Gospel  Ministry.  Of  these 
228,  we  may  suppose  that  about  28  will  find  work  in  the  congregations  of  the  Reformed 
and  other  related  Churches.  This  leaves  about  200.  Now,  in  the  first  place,  we  lost  last 
year  from  our  ranks  166  by  death  and  dismissal.  It  will  take  more  than  three-quarters  of 
the  200  to  fill  the  vacancies  thus  made.  This  leaves  of  all  the  men  this  year  graduated^ 
but  34  new  men  to  find  their  places  in  the  1,183  ▼Acant  churches.    Besides  this,  144  new 


39 

churches  have  been  organized  on  an  average  for  the  past  five  years.  In  view  of  these 
facts,  the  cry  sometimes  raised  that  we  have  too  many  ministers,  excited  by  the  fact  that 
where  a  good  church  becomes  vacant  there  are  so  many  applications  for  the  place,  is 
simply  absurd. 

7,  Then  one  other  thing  to  which  we  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly,  is  the 
grand  results  already  achieved  by  the  Board  of  Education.  At  this  very  time  in  which  we 
live,  there  are  two  thousand,  four  hundred  and  eighty-nine  ministers,  variously  employed* 
who  found  their  way  into  the  ministry  by  the  aid  of  this  Board.  This  is  something  for 
those  who  have  given  their  time  and  money  to  this  great  enterprise  to  be  justly  proud  of. 
More  than  one-third  of  our  whole  ministry  received  aid  from  this  source.  Ninety-seven 
per  cent,  of  the  average  amount  expended  each  year  in  aiding  students,  from  1870  to 
18S8,  has  been  invested  in  men  who  have  entered  the  ministry. 

8.  In  addition  to  what  has  been  stated,  we  wish  to  call  attention  to  one  fact  which  is 
almost  startling — and  that  is,  that  after  this  Board  has  existed  for  73  years,  and  has 
achieved  such  grand  results,  yet  according  to  the  last  report,  there  are  3,604  of  our 
churches  that  have  not  during  the  past  year  contributed  a  single  dollar  to  aid  this  great 
essentia]  cause.  3,291  have  contributed  and  3,604  have  utterly  failed.  Is  it  any  wonder 
that  the  Board  have  been  driven  to  cut  down  the  already  meagre  appropriations,  and  de- 
vise so  many  ways  to  meet  their  ever  increasing  responsibilities? 

Inasmuch  as  our  country  is  filling  up  with  vast  populations,  pouring  in  upon 
us  like  a  mighty  tide,  and  as  the  Board  has  under  its  charge  representatives  of  the  leading 
nations  of  the  earth, — Germans,  Africans,  Bohemians  and  Bulgarians,  and  others,  it  seems 
only  right  and  proper  that  our  Church  should  heed  the  call  to  send  educated  and  evan- 
gelical preachers  to  work  among  these  different  nationalities  and  assimilate  them  as  rap- 
idly as  possible,  so  that  they  may  become  both  good  citizens  for  the  State  and  good 
Christians  for  the  Church. 

Last  of  all,  we  feel  called  upon  to  notice  one  fact  revealed  by  the  tabular  statements 
of  the  Board's  report,  namely, — that  some  of  our  wealthiest  and  most  influential  Synods 
draw  as  much  from  the  Board  as  they  contribute  to'  it — while  in  other  cases,  some  impor- 
tant Synods  draw  from  the  fund  double  the  amount  of  their  annual  contribution,  thus 
leaving  the  less  able  portions  of  the  Church  without  that  aid  for  their  students  which  they 
BO  sorely  need. 

Your  Committee  would  recommend  the  adoption  of  the  following  resolutions : 

** Resolved,  First,  That  the  thanks  of  this  Assembly  and  the  whole  Church  are  due  to 
the  Board  of  Education  and  to  its  faithful  oficers  for  their  fidelity  and  wisdom  in  con* 
ducting  so  successfully  the  affairs  of  this  Board  during  the  past  year. 

"Resolved,  Second,  That  in  view  of  the  great  interests  at  stake,  and  the  pressing 
need  of  men  in  the  evangelistic  field,  we  call  upon  all  our  ministers,  elders  and  people  to 
make  unusual  efforts  to  increase  the  funds  of  this  Board,  and  we  specially  entreat  all 
churches  that  did  not  contribute  during  the  past  year  to  do  what  they  can  to  sustain  the 
work  of  this  most  important  arm  of  the  church. 

"Resolved,  Third,  That  the  new  formula  of  Presbyterial  recommendation,  found  on 
page  37  of  the  Board's  Report,  be  adopted  by  this  Assembly. 

"Resolved,  Fourth,  The  following  persons,  whose  term  of  office  expire,  are  recom- 
mended for  re-election,  as  follows : 

"Ministers,— V.t\,  John  S.Macintosh,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.D.,  Rev. 

Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.    ^A/^rj,— Rudolph  S.  Walton,  John  W.  Patton,  Esq.,  and 

Rudolph  M.  Schick,  Esq." 

John  A.  Licgxtt,  Chairman.

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING    TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of  the 

Church. 

• 

1.  The  Board  of  Exlucation  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbjrtery  of  the  Chorch ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
PresbjTtery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  reconmiended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  rec- 
ognized church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1 .  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  those 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  belong :  and  he  should 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee 
after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  PresbjTtery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommendatioQ  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to  which  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  invariably  be  required  by  the  Board:  Gire 
name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age  ?  Residence  ?  Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the 
following,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory  as  to  his  Piety  ?  Motives  for  seeking  th^ 
ministry  ?  Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  finee  from  ex- 
pensive andi  injurious  habits  ?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presby- 
terian Church  ?  Please  name  the  church.  What  is  his  stage  of  study  ?  If  in  Academy, 
give  name  and  class.  If  in  College,  give  name  end  class.  If  in  Seminaiy,  give  name 
and  class.  If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  Ftatement  of  4he  ciiciim- 
stances  that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case  extraordinaij.    If  in  a 


Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course  or  its  equivalent.  If  an  equiva- 
lent,  what  was  it?  If  the  candidate  is  colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI.,  Sec.  i 
and  Sec.  2  ?  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbjrtery  by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he 
recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give  the  name  of  some  responsible  person 
(usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or  the  student's  pastor)  through  whom 
the  payments  of  appropriations  may  be  made.  What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to 
meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to  the  end  of  this  Bscal  year,  viz.,  April  ist  ?  Has  he 
read  a  copy  of  the  rules  sent  herewith  ?  Does  he  accept  the  requirements  they  contain  ? 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  .  .  .  held  at  .  .  .on  the  .  .  .  day  of  .  .  .  i8  , 
the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the 
points  indicated  by  the  questions  above,  is  hereby,  by  order  of  the  Presbytery,  recom- 
mended to  the  Board  of  Education  ior  aid  to  the  amount  specified.  Signed  by  .  .  . 
Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee.  « 

^  3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a 
member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extra- 
ordinary cases. 

III.— Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  5 150;  for  those  in  the  preparatory  course  the 
amount  shall  not  exceed  ^100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  particular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  hb  professors,  embracing  the  following  points :  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability ?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  hb  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and  when  the 
reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recoDunendatian  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
at  the  date  of  it 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  c&se  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex- 
pected of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  collegiate  year, 
or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
for  the  work  of  the  ministry  ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment ;  or  when  they  marry ;  or  when  they  receive 
asistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society;  or,  when  from  private  circum- 
stances, they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
intereity  in  case  a  student  fail  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  (unless 
it  appean  that  he  is  proridentially  prevented)  ;  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to  the  standards 


42 

of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  or  if  he  changes  lus  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
it  or  by  the  Board ;  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  is  the  organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion, is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  in- 
terest in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1 .  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors'  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  hb  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery ;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 


43 

who  are  about  to  enter  upoo  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  iii.) :  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
by  the  Presbjrtery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "  real  piety  "  of  the  students, 
"  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office/'  before  they 
are  allowed  to  take  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibiliries. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

1.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  oi 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  >practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scriptures ;  secret  prayer  and  meditation ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  at- 
tendance at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  endeavors  to  promote 
the  salvation  of  others ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  consent 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  he  continued : 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Pres- 
bytery, as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates, 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  100,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside  from  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  poMible,  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  disduurge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 


44 

the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Botrd,  are  er- 
quested  to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Boarii  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
tare  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

Seventy-Fourth  Annual  Report. 


In  presenting  to  the  General  Assembly  its  Seventy- Fourth  Report, 
the  Board  of  Education  is  happy  to  say  that  a  kind  Providence  has  kept 
its  number  unbroken  during  the  year  past,  and  enabled  it  to  prosecute 
its  business  with  a  fair  degree  of  success. 

All  the  officers  of  the  Board  chosen  last  year  were  re-elected,  to 
wit:  Rev.  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President ;  Rev.  Jas.  M.  Crowell, 
D.  D.,  Vice-President;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  Corresponding  Secretary; 
and  Jacob  Wilson,  Treasurer. 

In  view  of  the  debt  of  $7000  remaining  upon  it,  and  of  the  probable 
increase  of  applications  for  aid  in  prospect,  the  Board  at  its  first  meeting 
in  June  decided  that  rates  of  scholarship  for  the  current  year  shall  be 
the  same  as  for  the  previous  years,  viz.  $80  to  Theological  and  Collegiate 
students,  and  $70  to  Academics ;  and  that  at  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year, 
if  the  state  of  the  Treasury  will  permit,  there  shall  be  an  appropriation 
to  each  student  such  as  to  make  the  total  amount  received  by  him  as 
nearly  as  possible  equal  to  the  full  yearly  appropriation  at  the  existing 
normal  rate. 

This  supplement  the  Board  regrets  to  say,  it  has  not  felt  warranted 
in  making,  though  the  deduction  has  pressed  heavily  on  some  of  the 
students ;  but  on  the  other  hand  it  rejoices  that  through  the  severe 
economy  practiced,  it  is  able  to  report  the  success  of  the  scheme  for 
relieving  itself  from  debt. 

CANDIDATES   RECOMMENDED. 

As  was  expected,  there  has  been  an  increase,  though  a  very  slight 
one,  in  the  number  of  recommendations,  in  all  904,  and  of  these  S68 
were  accepted,  being  an  excess  of  10  over  those  of  last  year;  36  were 
declined.  Judging  from  the  Professors*  reports,  the  instances  in  which 
aid  was  asked  for  those  who  did  not  absolutely  need  it  were  very  few. 
To  quote  from  the  President  of  one  of  our  institutions  :  "  explain  it  as 
we  may,  it  is  a  fact  that  *  God  hath  chosen  the  poor  of  this  world  rich 
in  faith  ;'  and  it  is  a  further  fact  that  most  of  the  young  men  who  enter 
the  ministry,  whether  from  city  or  country,  are  poor.  Many  of  these 
candidates  are  the  sons  of  ministers  who  have  no  accumulated  estate ; 
many  are  the  sons  of  farmers  and  artisans  and  small  merchants  who  are 
barely  able  to  support  their  families;  many  are  in   their  theological 

3 


course,  having  been  brought  through  college  without  assistance,  but 
whose  fathers  in  doing  this  have  exhausted  their  resources,  or  having 
other  children,  cannot  rightfully  deprive  them  of  like  advantages." 

THE  GREAT  DEMAND. 

A  careful  examination  of  the  list  of  churches  given  in  the  Assembly 
Minutes  for  1892,  shows  that  the  demand  for  ministers  is  going  ahead 
of  the  supplies.  Year  before  last,  the  Churches  marked  "  vacant  '* 
numbered  1183  ;  last  year  the  vacancies  were  1244,  an  increase  of  61. 
Of  these  there  were  263  reporting  10  members  and  under  down  to  i  or 
2  each,  of  which  latter  class  there  are  7,  hardly  a  membership  enough 
to  be  counted  as  churches.  Yet  they  go  in  to  swell  the  number  of  our 
Churches  up  to  7208.  On  the  other  hand  there  are  133  marked  vacant, 
which  report  a  membership  ranging  from  100  to  over  1000  each,  while  a 
large  number  of  those  of  lesser  size  evidently  call  for  the  entire  care  of  a 
minister.  It  is  plain  that  the  demand  is  gaining  on  the  supplies.  This 
will  be  seen  also  from  the  following  facts ;  the  increase  of  churches  from 
1891  to  1892  was  138  ;  the  increase  of  ministers  was  only  108,  30  less  ; 
ordinations  were  240,  deaths,  138,  net  increase  102;  number  received, 
91,  dismissed,  40,  net  gain  from  abroad  51.  Whatever  way  we  look 
at  the  figures,  it  will  be  seen  that  we  are  not  keeping  pace  with  the 
development  of  the  Churches,  and  much  less  contributing  to  fill  the 
existing  vacancies.  Elspecially  are  our  Western  Synods  suflfering  in 
this  particular.  That  of  Nebraska  reports  98  vacancies  ;  Kansas  62 
vacancies;  Minnesota,  70.  This  is  only  a  specimen  of  the  gaps  that 
need  filling. 

There  is  another  direction  in  which  labor  and  means  ought  to  be 
more  fully  expended,  viz.,  that  of  furnishing  ministers  for  our  various 
immigrant  peoples.  This  immigration  from  abroad  is  rapidly  increas- 
ing in  quantity  and  variety,  and  if  we  would  not  be  denationalized  by 
it  we  must  labor  to  assimilate  it:  and  there  is  no  power  to  assimilate  it 
like  our  Protestant  Christianity.  If  we  do  not  bring  this  to  bear  upon 
these  new  comers,  we  may  rest  assured  they  will  largely  be  drawn 
under  the  dominion  of  a  Christianity  of  another  sort,  antagonistic  to 
our  liberties,  that  is  aspiring  vigorously  for  ascendancy  here.  It 
becomes  us  therefore  to  be  up  and  doing. 

SUPPLIES. 

The  graduates  from  our  Seminaries  this  spring  number  in  all  243. 
This  is  a  small  advance  of  15  upon  the  number  reported  last  year.  But 
from  this  we  must  deduct  those  who  belong  to  other  denominations, 


and  those  who  are  fitting  to  be  teachers,  and  those  who  are  expecting 
to  go  on  a  foreign  mission.  This  will  bring  the  number  available 
for  our  home  churches  down  to  a  little  over  200.  These  will  go  to 
fill  the  places  of  those  removed  by  death  and  dismissal,  supply 
the  vacancies  reported  above,  and  man  the  new  churches  or- 
ganized. The  inadequacy  of  this  number  for  promoting  the 
healthy  growth  of  the  Church,  and  accomplishing  its  portion  ol 
the  great  work  to  be  done  for  the  evangelization  of  our  country,  to 
say  nothing  of  foreign  lands,  must  be  apparent  to  every  one.  To  what 
the  lack  is  owing  is  a  point  which  it  becomes  the  Assembly  earnestly  to 
consider.  Is  it  the  lack  of  piety  in  the  churches  which  is  the  produc- 
tive element  of  the  ministry,  or  the  uncertainty  of  obtaining  and  hold- 
ing a  position  for  labor,  or  the  difficulty  of  acquiring  the  education 
demanded  ?  Whatever  the  cause  may  be,  the  Board  suggests  that  it 
devolves  on  the  Assembly  as  the  administrative  body  of  the  Church 
to  examine  and  find  it  out  and  remove  it  if  possible. 

CANDIDATES  AIDED. 

The  number  of  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  has 
increased  from  858  (the  number  reported  last  year)  to  868.  They  are 
distributed  through  their  course  of  study  as  follows :  in  the  Theological 
Seminaries,  429;  in  Colleges,  417  ;  in  Preparatory  studies,  22. 

Classified  according  to  their  nationality  and  race,  37  are  Germans  ; 
106  Negroes  ;  6  Bohemians ;  4  Bulgarians  ;  i  Turk  ;  i  Brazilian  ;  4  Scan- 
divanians;  4Sioux  Indians;  i  Spaniard;  9 Mexicans;  i  Japanese;  i  Italian. 
The  rest  are  American,  English,  Scotch,  Irish,  Dutch  and  Swedes. 

In  point  of  scholarship  282  are  marked  high ;  272  medium+; 
258  medium  ;  9  medium — ;  5  low.  Those  marked  below  medium 
have  been  retained  on  special  information  from  their  instructors  that 
their  excellence  in  other  respects  warrants  good  hope  of  success  in  the 
ministry.  Three  have  been  obliged  to  suspend  study  on  account  of 
ill  health  ;  5  have  withdrawn,  having  found  other  means  of  support;  2 
have  been  called  away  by  death;  27,  though  accepted  by  the  Board 
on  Presbyterial  recommendations,  were  not  reported  by  their  Pro- 
fessors as  needing  the  scholarships,  and  therefore  they  were  not 
paid.  The  Board  has  been  obliged  to  drop  5  candidates  who  have 
married. 

Those  who  have  completed  their  studies  at  the  Theological  Semi- 
naries and  have  been  gratuated  this  Spring  are  as  follows:  from  Mc- 
Cormick,  52 ;  Princeton,  25 ;  Union,  12 ;  Western,  12 ;  Auburn,  3 ;  Lane, 
2  ;  Newark,  4  ;  Lincoln,  5 ;  Biddle,  2  ;  Dubuque,  7  ;  Danville,  3. 


THE   NEWBERRY  SCHOLARSHIP. 

On  careful  examination  by  a  Committee  of  the  Board,  the  New- 
berry Scholarship,  the  annual  income  of  which  is  about  five  hundred 
dollars,  was  awarded  to  Mr.  H.  N.  Wilson,  of  the  middle  class  in 
McCormick  Theological  Seminary,  to  be  held  by  him  for  three  years, 
during  which  time  he  is  to  prosecute  special  studies  in  vacation  under 
the  advice  and  direction  of  the  Committee  in  connection  with  the 
Faculty.  The  working  of  this  scholarship  is  such  as  to  awaken  the 
hope  that  other  similar  scholarships  may  be  placed  at  the  disposal  of 
the  Board. 

The  institutions  at  which  our  candidates  have  been  studying  are

The  request  respectfully  submitted  to  the  General  Assembly  at 
Portland,  Oregon,  in  1892,  by  the  synod  of  the  Welsh  Presbyterian  (or 
Calvinistic  Methodist)  Church,  assembled  at  Oliphant,  Lackawanna 
Co. ,  Pa. ,  through  its  Board  of  Education  to  be  informed  if  it  is  possible 
for  it  to  be  united  with  our  Board  of  Education  in  the  work  of  fitting 
its  young  men  for  the  Gospel  ministry,  and  if  so,  on  what  conditions 
such  a  union  could  be  effected,  and  favorably  referred  to  this  Board  for 
an  answer,  was  duly  considered,  and  entrusted  to  a  committee  consist- 


ing  of  Dr.  J.  F.  Gayley,  Rev.  H.  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.,  and  Rev.  Wm. 
C.  Rommel,  to  frame  a  reply. 

The  substance  of  its  report  was  as  follows :  After  giving  an 
account  of  a  previous  union  of  a  like  sort  made  on  the  basis  of  a 
similar  request  in  1870,  which  lasted  until  1881,  it  states  the  two 
reasons  why  the  union  came  to  an  end  by  the  action  of  the  Welsh 
brethren  themselves.  One  was,  they  found  considerable  inconvenience 
in  conforming  to  our  rules,  and  the  other  was  that  their  Churches  were 
so  untrained  in  systematic  forms  of  benevolence  that  their  contributions 
fell  short  of  maintaining  their  students,  and  so  their  ministers  were 
ashamed  to  send  us  more.  On  examination  it  was  found  that  this 
deficit  during  the  period  of  union  amounted  to  a  large  sum. 
In  view  of  this  fact  and  also  of  the  large  number  of  candidates  recom- 
mended to  the  care  of  our  Board  by  our  own  Presbyteries,  and  the 
difficulty  experienced  in  getting  funds  to  sustain  them,  the  committee 
declines  to  recommend  a  resuscitation  of  the  union.  As  to  the  con- 
ditions on  which  it  might  be  effected  the  committee  felt  incompetent 
to  make  a  recommendation. 

This  report  was  adopted  by  the  Board  and  an  answer  sent 
accordingly,  which  is  embodied  in  the  following  resolution  : 

Resolved :  That  in  view  of  the  report  presented  by  the  committee, 
it  is  the  judgment  of  the  Board  that  it  is  not  expedient  at  present  to 
enter  into  any  new  arrangement  with  the  Welsh  Calvinisic  Methodist 
Church  with  reference  to  the  education  of  students  for  the  ministry  in 
that  Church. 

The  members  of  the  Board,  whose  term  of  service  expires  this 
year,  are  as  follows;  Ministers— George  D.  Baker,  D.  D,,  Jas.  M 
Crowell,  D.  D.,  Wm.  C.  Rommel.  Elders— Geo.  W.  Barr,  Andrew 
Blair,  Rudolph  M.  Schick,  Esq. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted  by  order  of  the  Board. 

D.  W.  Poor, 
Corresponding  Secretary.

ACTION    OF  THE   GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following  named  persons : 

MINISTERS.  ELDERS. 

Thomas  D.  Ewing,  D.  D.,  A.  N.  Covert, 

James  Chambers,  D.  D.,  George  Rutherford, 

Theodore  Bracken,  A.  W.  Smith, 

John  W.  Bailey,  D.  D.,  George  W.  Mount, 

David  R.  Kerr,  D.  D.,  B.  S.  Stevens, 

William  J.  Bridges,  Jeremiah  G.  Tuthill, 

NiNiAN  B.  Remick,  D.  D.,  Oliver  O.  Jones, 

James  W.  Skinner,  George  N.  Gray, 

Charles  M.  Brown,  N.  P.  Dodge, 

Allen  Bell,  D.  D.,  Robert  Cowan. 
Oliver  B.  McCurdv. 

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday,  May  2d,  1893,  through  their 
Chairman,  Rev.  Thomas  D.  Ewing,  D.  D.,  which  was  accejUed.  The  Assembly  was  then 
addressed  by  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  Dr.  C.  S. 
Stewart,  President  E.  D.  Warfield  and  Mr.  David  Jacks. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows : 

Your  Standing  Committee  on  Education  most  resj)ectfully  present  to  the  Assembly 
the  following  report : 

The  Committe  have  made  a  careful  examination  of  the  work  of  the  Board  for  the 
past  year,  as  presented  in  the  minutes  and  the  annual  report  and  take  great  pleasure  in 
commending  the  fidelity  and  efficiency  of  the  officers  and  members  of  this  Board.  It  has 
been  enabled  to  close  the  work  of  the  year  almost  free  from  debt,  there  being  a  deficit  of 
only  about  $1600,  But  there  are  a  few  facts  which  must  be  stated  at  the  beginning  of 
this  report. 

We  find  3,246  churches  have  contributed  to  this  Board,  while  3,702,  a  majority  of 
456,  have  not  contributed. 

The  number  of  churches  contributing  is  forty-five  less  than  the  previous  year,  and  the 
amount  contributed  by  the  churches  and  Sunday  Schools  13,948.81  less.  This  deficit 
was^made  up  in  part  by  the  back  interest  on  a  legacy.  This  falling  off  in  the  contributions 
of  the  churches  and  Sunday  Schools  is  just  cause  for  apprehension  on  the  part  of  the 
Assembly  and  for  pressing  with  unusual  vigor  the  importance  of  the  claims  of  this  Board 
The  number  of  candidates  under  the  care  of  this  Board  during  the  past  year  is  868,  an 
increase  of  ten  over  the  previous  year.  Of  these  429  are  in  the  seminaries,  417  in 
colleges,  and  22  in  the  preparatory  schools. 

35 


36 

Out  of  the  whole  number  only  three  have  had  their  appropriations  suspended  on 
account  of  reports  unsatisfactory  to  the  Board.  But  while  we  rejoice  that  the  Board  is 
able  to  come  to  this  Assembly  unencumbered  by  debt,  it  is  well  to  inquire  how  this, 
in  the  absence  of  increased  contribution,  has  been  accomplished. 

This  has  l)een  done  by  reducing  the  appropriation  to  the  students,  very  much  the 
same  way  that  a  church  sometimes  rejoices  to  Bnd  itself  free  of  debt  by  the  minister  pay- 
ing his  own  salary,  so  the  collegiate  and  theological  students  are  given  $80  in  lieu  of  $100, 
and  those  in  preparatory  schools  a  reduction  in  the  same  proportion. 

Now,  either  the  regular  appropriation  is  higher  than  is  necessary  or  this  reduction 
must  occasion  privation,  if  not  suffering,  that  will  greatly  cripple  the  usefulness  of  this 
Board. 

The  word  retrenchment  is  all  well,  and  to  be  commended  when  it  can  be  had  along 
the  lines  of  equity  and  justice,  but  it  may  require  a  retreat  in  the  face  of  an  enemy;  it 
may  necessitate  the  abandoning  of  important  fields  already  partially  cultivated ;  it  may 
mean  a  great  loss  to  the  church  in  men  and  fruitage,  and  if  so,  it  is  to  be  greatly  deplored. 
It  is  comparatively  easy  to  report  free  from  debt,  but  is  it  wise  ?  Your  Committee  believe 
that  a  debt  is  to  be  chosen  rather  than  any  retrenchment  that  will  cripple  the  work  of  this 
Board.     The  importance  of  the  work  of  this  Board  appears  if  we  consider — 

First,  the  demand  for  men.  We  learn  from  the  Annual  Report  now  before  this 
Assembly  that  last  year  the  vacancies  in  our  churches  numbered  1,244  *  ^^^  increase  of 
churches,  138;  the  increase  of  ministers  only  108.  We  are  not  keeping  pace  with  the 
development  of  the  churches,  to  say  nothing  of  filling  existing  vacancies.  Throughout 
the  entire  West,  and  from  all  missionary  fields  in  foreign  lands,  the  call  is  for  more  men 
to  preach  the  gospel  of  our  blessed  Saviour.  There  is  yet  another  direction  in  which  this 
same  call  is  made — I  mean  from  our  immigrant  population.  Here  permit  me  to  quote 
a  brief  extract  from  the  report  of  the  Secretary  of  this  Board.      He  writes : 

"  This  immigration  from  abroad  is  rapidly  increasing  in  quantity  and  variety  and  if 
we  would  not  be  denationalized  by  it  we  must  labor  to  assimilate  it.  And  there  is  no 
power  to  assimilate  it  like  our  Protestant  Christianity.  If  we  do  not  bring  this  to  bear  upon 
the  new-comers,  we  may  rest  assured  that  they  will  largely  be  drawn  under  the  tlominion 
of  a  Christianity  of  another  sort,  antagonistic  to  our  liberties,  that  is  aspiring  vigorously  for 
ascendancy  here.     It  becomes  us,  therefore,  to  be  up  and  doing." 

Graduates  from  all  our  seminaries  this  spring  are  243  ;  the  death  roll  of  the  year 

numbers .     Assuming  that  200  of  this  number  enter  at  once  upon  the  work  of  our 

Master,  yet  how  small  the  force  against  such  odds  in  the  church. 

THK  NATURE  OF  THIS  WORK. 

This  Board  has  well  been  called  '*  The  right  arm  of  the  church."  But  is  there  not 
danger  that  even  a  right  arm  may  become  weak  and  useless  ?  Care  should  be  taken  that 
this  arm  may  be  made  strong  for  service.  May  we  not  look  upon  the  work  of  this  Board 
as  foundation  work  ?  If  so,  how  can  we  build  safely  if  the  foundation  be  neglected  ?  The 
Board  of  Aid  for  Colleges  and  Academies,  joining  hands  with  the  Board  of  Education, should 
lay  foundations  broad  and  deep  for  the  future  temple  of  our  beloved  church.  To  this  Board 
we  look  largely  for  our  home  and  foreign  missionaries.  The  growth  of  our  church  under 
Ciod  must  largely  depend  upon  the  extent  of  this  foundation  work. 

It  is  a  question  which  admits  no  longer  of  discussion  that  that  denomination  of 
Christians  that  gives  most  care  to  the  subject  of  Christian  education,  other  things  being 
equal,  will  wield  the  greatest  power  for  good  in  the  world.     Has  not  the  Presbyterian 


37 

church,  in  some  measure,  at  least,  failed  to  appreciate  its  importance  when  it  suggests  that 
5  per  cent,  of  the  consecrated  gifts  in  the  church  is  its  due  proportion  ?  Add  to  this,  if  you 
will,  the  7  per  cent,  for  the  IJoard  of  Aid,  and  you  have  only  I2  per  cent,  of  these  gifts 
for  this  work.     Surely  we  should  devise  more  liberally  for  this  branch  of  our  work. 

Perhaps  a  better  figure  for  the  machinery  of  our  church  is  that  of  a  tree  striking  its 
roots  deep  down  into  the  solid  earth,  with  its  branches  spreading  all  directions,  so  tha^ 
its  life-giving  fruitage  may  be  a  rich  heritage  to  all  nations.  The  educational  work  is  the 
root  of  the  tree ;  assiduously  and  wisely  cultivate  it,  and  the  good  result  therefrom  will 
appear  in  every  bough,  branch  and  leaflet.  Give  to  the  educational  work  a  due  proportion 
of  the  consecrated  gifts  of  the  church,  and  it  will  send  new  life  into  every  part  of  our 
church  work. 

There  is  one  more  fact  that  should  be  printed  in  italics  and  held  up  before  our  church 
which  ought  to  silence  the  most,  if  not  all,  the  objections  raised  against  the  work  of  this 
Board.  It  is  that  more  than  one-half  of  the  present  working  force  in  the  ministry  has  been 
aided  by  this  Board,  and  these  are  in  all  departments  of  our  church  work  as  pastors  and 
teachers  in  our  colleges  and  theological  seminaries,  home  and  foreign  missionaries,  and  I 
wish  to  emphasize  the  missionaries.  Of  our  home  missionaries  there  are  565,  and  of 
our  foreign  106  of  the  210  ordained  ministers  who  have  been  aided  by  the  Board 
Graduates  from  all  of  our  theological  seminaries  last  year  were  243;  of  these  124  were 
aided  by  this  Board.  Ought  not  a  Board  with  such  a  history  and  fruitage  to  be  liberally 
fcuppoited  by  the  church  ! 

Your  Committee  present  to  the  General  Assembly  the  following  resolutions  : 

1.  That  the  minutes  of  this  Board,  having  been  examined  by  your  standing  Com- 
mittee and  found  to  be  a  faithful  and  correct  record  of  its  work,  be  approved. 

2.  That  the  Assembly  express  its  high  appreciation  of  the  faithful  labors  of  this 
Board  and  its  executive  officers,  and  heartily  commends  its  work  to  the  confidence  and 
support  of  the  entire  church. 

3.  That  the  Presbyteries,  through  their  Standing  Committees  on  Education,  enjoin 
upon  the  pastors  and  sessions  to  see  to  it  that  an  intelligent  presentation  of  the  work, 
fruits  and  claims  of  this  Board  be  made  from  their  pulpits  at  least  annually,  in  order  that 
sufficient  funds  may  be  provided  for  the  maintainence  and  enlargement  of  the  work  of  this 
Board,  and  also  that  the  Board  be  earnestly  requested  to  consider  whether  more  of  its 
energies  should  not  be  directed  to  the  presentation  of  its  claims,  personally,  by  the  Secre- 
tary or  others  appointed  for  this  purpose  to  the  presbyteries  and  individual  churches. 

4.  That  Young  People's  Societies  and  Sunday- Schools  in  our  churches  be  asked  to 
consider  the  claims  of  the  Board  as  presenting  a  cause  of  peculiar  interest  to  them  ;  and 
that  they  be  urged  to  take  up  special  work  along  this  line,  in  correspondence  with  and 
under  direction  of  this  Board. 

5.  That  the  discretion  of  this  Board  as  to  accepting  academic  students  be  enlarged 
so  that  they  may  be  received  on  similar  terms  to  those  in  the  college  and  seminary ;  and 
when  necessity  is  laid  upon  the  Board  to  decline  accepting  students,  for  want  of  funds, 
that  it  consider  the  wisdom  of  refusing  aid  to  those  in  the  higher  classes  in  the  seminaries 
who  may  have  opportunities  of  aiding  themselves  rather  than  to  students  in  academies. 

6.  In  view  of  the  paramount  importance  of  the  work  of  this  Board  and  the  pressing 
need  for  funds,  we  call  upon  the  church  for  at  least  $150,000  for  the  work  of  the  coming 
year  in  order  that  the  Board  may  be  able  to  pay  not  less  than  Si  10  to  theological  and 
college  and  $80  to  academic  students. 

7.  That  the  following  members  of  the  Board,  whose  terms  of  office  expires  with 


38 

the  present  year  be  re-elected,  namely:  Ministers,  George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  James  M. 

Crowell,  D.  D.,  and  Wm.  C.   Rommel ;  elders,  George  W.  Barr,  Androw  Blair,  and 

Rudoph  M.  Shick,  Esq. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

T.  D.  EWING.

The  Standing  Committee  on  Ministerial  Elducation  also  presented  a  Supplementary 
Report,  being  the  answer  to  Overture  No.  154,  from  the  Presb)rtery -of  Steubenville,  on 
the  increase  of  aid  to  candidates  for  the  ministry. 

The  Committee  recommend  that  inasmuch  as  the  substance  of  this  Overture  has  been 
in  other  ways  before  the  Committee,  and  has  been  provided  for  by  its  action  in  this  report, 
no  further  action  is  necessary. 


The  following  was  also  adopted  by  the  General  Assembly — 

1.  **That  the  Board  of  Education  be  enjoined  to  give  aid  to  such  students  only  as 
may  be  in  attendance  upon  Seminaries  approved  by  the  Assembly." 

2.  *'The  Assembly  therefore  is  constrained  to  withhold  its  approval  and  commen- 
dation of  Lane  Seminary,  until  the  Board  has  reconsidered  its  action  in  this  respect  and 
remedied  the  error." 

3.  "The  Assembly  disavows  all  responsibility  for  the  teaching  of  Union  Theologi- 
cal .Seminary,  and  declines  to  receive  any  report  from  its  Board  mitil  satisfactory  relations 
are  established.  The  Assembly,  however,  cherishes  the  hope  and  will  cordially  wel- 
come any  effort  to  bring  Union  Seminary  into  such  a  relationship  with  itself,  as  will 
enable  the  Assembly  to  commend  the  Institution  again  to  students  for  the  ministry."

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 


RELATING    TO 


CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Depkndenck  ok  thk  Hoard  ok  Education   iji»on  thk  Prkskytkriks  of  the 
Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of  the 
Goepel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church ;  and  the  Presbytery 
is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designation  of  the  annual 
amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  esi)ecially  to  the  Education  Committee  of  the 
Presbytery  for  fdling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  required  for  the 
reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  ths  pastoral  care  of  thi  same,  until  his  entrance 
upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examination 
and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper  notification  has  been 
given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability  to  support  them ; 
and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have 
been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this 
country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  recjuest  of  other  duly  rec- 
c^ized  church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1 ,  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  10  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  matter  of 
serious  concern  both  to  him5;elf  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be  given  only  by  those 
who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  accompanied  with  much 
counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single  desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candi- 
date should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most  naturally  belong;  and  he  should 
be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  E'lucation  Committee 
after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examiningstudents  with  a  view  to  their  recommendation  for  aid, 
must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  ({uestions,  to  which  definite 
answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will  invariably  be  required  by  the  Board:  Give 
name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age?  Residence?  Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the 
following,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory  as  to  his  Piety?  Motives  for  seeking  the 
ministry?  Talents?  Health?  Promise  of  practical  efficiency?  Is  he  free  from  ex- 
oensive  andi  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presby- 
terian Church  ?  Please  name  the  church.  What  is  bis  stage  of  study  ?  If  in  Academy, 
give  name  and  class.  If  in  College,  give  name  and  class,  if  in  Seminary,  give  name 
and  class.  If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  statement  of  the  circum- 
stances that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case  extraordinary.  If  in  a 
Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate  course  or  its  equivalent.  )f  an  equiva- 
lent, what  was  it?  If  the  candidate  is  colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI.,  Sec.  i 
and  Sec.  2  ?     Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presb3rtery  by  his  Church  Session  ?    Can  he 


40 

recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism?  Give  the  name  of  some  responsible  person 
(usually  a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or  the  student's  pastor)  through  whom 
the  payments  of  appropriations  may  be  made.  What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to 
meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to  the  end  of  this  fiscal  year,  viz.,  April  ist  ?  Has  he 
read  a  copy  of  the  rules  sent  herewith  ?  Does  he  accept  the  requirements  they  contain  ? 
At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of  .  .  .  held  at  .  .  .on  the  .  .  .  day  of  .  .  .  i8  , 
the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  l)een  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the 
points  indicated  by  the  questions  above,  is  hereby,  by  order  of  the  Presbytery,  recom- 
mended to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified.  Signed  by  .  .  . 
Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of  ihe 
Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  who  has  not 
been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a 
member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  except  in  extra- 
ordinary cases. 

III. — SCHOI^RSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  .same  in  amount  for  theological 
and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  ^150;  for  those  in  the  preparatory  course  the 
amount  shall  not  exceed  ^100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  l>e  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  i>articular 
and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points :  Christian 
Character?     Scholarship?     Rhetorical  Ability?     Punctuality?     Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships  in  case 
of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowledged 
by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to  receive  it. 
And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case 
he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and  when  the 
reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall  ordinarily  be 
made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  payments  of  a  student  whose 
recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence 
at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  ca.se  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but  it  is  ex- 
]iected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of  tuition  and 
boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the  coU^ate  year, 
or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  tliey  were  recommended  by  the  Presbytery  has  ex- 
pired, and  these  shall  not  be  made  in  cases  of  prolonged  ill  health  which  may  unfit  them 
for  the  work  of  the  ministry  ;  or  when  they  are  manifestly  improvident,  or  contract  debts 
without  reasonable  prospects  of  payment ;  or  when  they  marry;  or  when  they  receive 
assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society ;  or,  when  from  private  circum- 
stances, they  cease  to  need  aid. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  api)ropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
interest,  in  case  a  .student  fail  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry  (unless 
it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  j^rcvcnlcd)  ;  or  if  lie  ceases  to  a<lhcrc  to  the  standards 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  or  if  he  changes  his  place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions 
of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by 
it  or  by  the  Board;  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this 
Board  is  the  oi^an,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of  Elduca- 
tion,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those  who  comply  with 
these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and  they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  in- 
terest in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to 
the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  memliers  in  the  duty  of 
multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  »U  the  world. 


41 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only  with  the 
explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of  study,  preparatory 
to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Pres- 
byterian Church;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological 
studies  in  some  seminary  connected  witn  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is 
allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies 
until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery  for  the 
regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exercise  of  a  par- 
ental oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need 
as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of 
their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them 
for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  furnishing  an- 
nually to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from  the  professors'  reports 
as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary  shall  exercise  a  gen- 
eral supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  in- 
stitution where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  ofEce  which  they 
have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his  Presby- 
tery, if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the  Session  of  the 
Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  speciBcation  must  be  made  of  the  amount  needed 
by  him;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been  received,  a  student  will  not 
be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee  in  the 
interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  provided  its  action 
is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and  not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6/  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity,  diligence, 
and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  ministry  a  doubtful 
measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate  without  delay  the  in- 
formation received  to  tne  Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery ;  and  if,  on  careful  in- 
quiry on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  ob- 
tained, or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Com- 
mittee on  Education,  within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to 
withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of  students 
who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  instructions  of  the 
Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.  Sec.  iii.) :  and  this  examination  should  be  conducted 
by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "  real  piety  "  of  the  students, 
*'and  the  motives  which  have  influenced  them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they 
are  allowed  to  take  this  final  step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the  Con- 
fession of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who  request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

1.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel ;  the  young  breth- 
ren who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all  intellectual 
acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected 
and  reouired  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading 
the  Scnptures;  secret  prayer  and  meditation;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of 
themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  at- 
tendance at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week ;  endeavors  to  promote 
the  salvation  of  others ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall  short  of  a 
full  support  of  the  students,  it  vrill  be  expected  that  they  and  their  friends  will  make  all 
proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 


42 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in  order  to 
increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  obtain  the  consent 
of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the  Board ;  and  if  when  given  he 
shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued : 
but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued  in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report  himself, 
soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Pres- 
bytery, as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects ;  and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the 
Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty 
to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  expressing  a 
promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry  among  the 
negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval 
both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three  years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before -entering  college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full  collegiate 
course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable  him  to  reach  at  least  a 
grade  of  70,  out  of  a  possible  100,  in  sciences  and  languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gif^s  for  the  ministry,  aside  from  his 
ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should  be  advised  to  pur- 
sue a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology,  Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great  importance 
of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  iht  care  of  this  Board  reported  to  it 
as  soon  as  possible  after  such  lapses  from  Christian  character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious  fidelity, 
the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of  the  Board,  are  re- 
quested to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information  as  to  the  moral  and  Chris- 
tian character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise  of  the  candidates  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions,  and  as 
it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  minimum  sum  that  will 
meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any  named  sum  at  the  special  in- 
stitution will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board  shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special  resolution 
of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47)  that  candidates 
enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally  belong,  and  by  the  Assembly 
of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87)  it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate  studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with 
both  the  doctrines  and  polity  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  are  enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbyteries, 
and  to  attend  in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the 
care  of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

Presbyterial  Recommendation  of  a  Candidate  to  "The  Board  of  Education  of 

tlie  Presbyterian  Cliurcli  in  tlie  U.  S.  A." 

4i^The  Board  of  Education  has  been  instructed  hereafter  invariably  to  require,  in  connection  with 
the  acceptance  of  a  student,  and  before  promising  him  aid  fh>m  the  fiinds  or  the  Church,  definite  an- 
swers  to  several  important  questions  which  may  conveniently  be  given  according  to  the  form  below. 


A  candidate,  in  order  to  receive  aid,  must  have  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  some 

" ,      .  \.  his   " 
eptii 
pared  to  enter  oolite. 


closely  related  bodv,  for  at  least  one  year :  be  recommended  to  Pre8b3rtery  bv  his  church  session ;  and, 
except  in  extraordinary  cases  (coloreo  students,  and  those  of  foreign  populations,  especially),  be  pre- 


The  recommendation,  both  by  church  session  and  Presbjrtery,  must  be  renewed  annuallv,  if  possible 
at  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Presbytery,  and  should  state  the  lowest  possible  amount  within  the  limits 
et  by  the  General  Assembly  that  the  candidate  requires  to  meet  his  necessary  expenses  for  the  year. 


*The  following  form  will  also  answer  for  Annual  Renewals ;  such  questions  as  that  of  the 
candidate's  age,  and  that  of  his  length  of  time  in  communion  with  the  Church,  if  answered 
before,  evidently  need  not  be  repeated ;  but,  on  consideration,  it  will  be  manifest  that  almost  all 
the  other  questions  deserve  annual  inquiry.

Seventy-Fifth  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education  presents  its  Annual  Report  to  the 
General  Assembly,  sincerely  grateful  to  God  that  it  has  reached  the 
conclusion  of  its  seventy-fifth  year  under  circumstances  both  happy 
and  prosperous.  It  is  true  that  the  contributions  from  the  Churches, 
Sabbath-Schools  and  Young  People's  Societies  are  $8,600  less  than 
during  the  previous  year,  and  the  contributions  from  miscellaneous 
sources  $2,200  less  ;  but  the  number  of  students  has  increased,  and 
the  Board  has  been  enabled  to  give  to  each  student  in  college  or  sem- 
inary $100,  being  $20  more  than  the  allowance  of  the  pre\nous  j-ear, 
although  $10  less  than  the  amount  suggested  by  the  last  General 
Assembly.  In  view  of  all  the  circumstances  of  the  case  this  was  the 
best  that  could  be  done,  and  the  Board  is  happy  to  report  that  with 
the  help  of  legacies,  and  by  the  use  of  a  portion  of  its  reser\''e,  it 
has  closed  its  accounts  without  debt,  except  to  its  own  funds. 

At  the  annual  election  of  officers,  held  in  June  last,  the  Corres- 
ponding Secretar>'^  of  the  Board,  Rev.  D.  \V.  Poor,  D.  D.,  declined 
a  re-election.  After  seventeen  3- ears  of  faithful  service,  he  felt  it 
necessary  to  retire  from  active  work.  He  had  already  filled  im- 
portant positions  in  the  Church,  and  has  been  most  influential  in 
promoting  the  work  of  his  Divine  Master.  He  made  the  work  of 
the  Board  his  joy  and  delight,  and  gave  to  it  the  fruit  of  long 
experience,  thorough  sympathy  with  young  men  in  their  struggles 
to  get  an  education,  and  an  appreciation  of  the  great  importance  of 
the  ministry  for  the  welfare  of  the  country  and  for  the  honor  of 
his  Redeemer.  In  parting  with  him,  the  Board  has  put  upon  record 
a  statement*  of  its  high  appreciation  of  his  services  and  love  to  him  as 
a  Christian  gentleman  and  companion  in  labor.  His  general  health 
was  at  that  time  so  good  that  the  Board  felt  justified  in  asking  him 
to  continue  \dsiting  the  rooms  where  he  had  labored  so  long,  and 
to  give  what  assistance  he  could  to  the  Corresponding  Secretary 
who  might  be  chosen  in  his  place.  To  this  proposition  he  gave  his 
cordial  assent.  The  choice  of  the  Board  fell  with  entire  unanimity 
upon  the  Rev.  Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  to  be  the  successor  of  Dr.  Poor. 
At  a  subsequent  meeting.  Dr.  Baker  expressed  his  high  appreciation 

•  See  Page  16.  3 


4  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OE  EDUCATION 

of  the  privilege  proposed  for  him,  but  declared  his  inability  to  accept 
the  place  in  view  of  the  fact  that  his  church  imperatively  required 
his  services  under  existing  circumstances.  The  choice  of  the  Board 
subsequently  fell  upon  the  present  incumbent,  who  was  elected  on 
the  30th  of  October  last.  At  the  request  of  the  Board,  the  Rev.  Dr. 
Poor  continued  to  discharge  the  duties  of  Corresponding  Secretary 
until  the  beginning  of  December,  when  he  was  relieved  by  his 
successor.  The  Rev.  Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.  was  re-elected  President, 
the  Rev.  James  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  was  re-elected  Vice  President, 
and  Jacob  Wilson  was  re-elected  Treasurer. 

It  is  with  sincere  sorrow  that  we  are  obliged  to  report  the  death 
of  James  F.  Gayley,  M.  D.,  after  a  service,  faithfully  given,  of  thirty- 
one  years  ;  and  also  of  a  most  promising  clerk,  Mr.  J.  Duncan  Brooks, 
who  by  his  zeal  and  devotion  to  the  tasks  assigned  him  during  a  period 
of  nine  years  and  a  half  gave  promise  of  being  an  increasingly  useful 
man  in  this  department  of  service.  Another  serious  loss  has 
occurred  in  the  resignation  of  Rev.  J.  H.  Mimro,  D.  D.,  who  felt 
compelled  to  retire  on  account  of  the  multiplicity  of  duties  resting 
upon  him.  The  Rev.  Charles  Wadsworth,  Jr.,  was  chosen  to  fill 
the  place  made  vacant  by  the  election  of  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D. 
to  the  ofl5ce  of  Corresponding  Secretary.  Geo.  W.  Bailey,  M.  D., 
was  chosen  in  the  place  of  James  F.  Gayley,  M.  D.,  and  Rev. 
Robert  Himter,  D.  D.,  in  the  place  of  Rev.  J.  H.  Munro,  D.  D.  The 
members  of  the  Board  whose  term  of  service  expires  this  year  are  the 
following : — Rev.  Samuel  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.  ;  Rev.  Robert 
Hunter,  D.  D.  ;  Rev.  Charles  Wadsworth,  Jr.  ;  George  W.  Bailey, 
M.  D.  ;  Charles  H.  Matthews,  Esq.  ;  and  George  Pierce,  Esq. 

One  of  the  first  subjects  to  engage  the  attention  of  the  Board 
was  the  injunction  laid  upon  it  with  reference  to  students  in  semina- 
ries that  failed  to  receive  the  approval  of  the  General  Assembly. 
The  injunction  was  in  the  following  language:  **that  the  Board 
of  Education  be  enjoined  to  give  aid  to  such  students  only  as  may 
be  in  attendance  upon  seminaries  approved  by  the  Assembly.  ** 
(See  minutes  of  the  General  Assembly,  1893,  page  161.)  The 
Board  was  officially  notified  that  the  General  Assembly  had  with- 
held approval  from  Union  Seminary  on  account  of  the  action  of 
its  Directors  in  retaining  Dr.  Briggs  after  his  appointment  had 
been  disapproved  by  the  General  Assembly,  and  for  other  reasons  ; 
and  that  approval  had  been  withheld  from  I<ane  Seminary  because 
the     Board     of  Trustees    continued   to   employ   Prof.    Henry  P. 


ANNUAI.  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  5 

Smith,  by  formal  action,  as  a  teacher  in  the  seminary,  after  his 
suspension  from  the  ministry  by  the  Presbytery  of  Cincinnati. 
The  Board  immediately  issued  a  circular  directed  to  students  under 
its  care,  and  to  no  others,  and  containing  only  the  action  of  the 
General  Assembly  on  this  subject,  without  note  or  comment ;  the 
object  being  to  prevent  any  misapprehension  on  the  part  of  students 
who  might  be  planning  to  go  to  these  seminaries,  and  also  possible  dis- 
appointment and  loss.  The  circular  was  also  sent  to  the  Chairmen 
of  the  Education  Committees  for  their  guidance,  as  it  would  be 
through  them  that  applications  to  the  Board  for  assistance  must  be 
made.  On  the  14th  of  September  last,  official  notice  was  received  by 
the  Board  that  the  Trustees  of  Lane  Seminary  had  rescinded  their 
action  with  reference  to  Prof.  Smith,  and  accepted  his  resignation.  A 
most  careful  consideration  was  given  to  the  new  state  of  affairs  thus 
developed,  and  on  the  25th  of  September  the  following  preamble 
and  resolutions  were  adopted  and  sent  forth  for  the  advice  of  all 
persons  concerned  : — 

WTiile  the  Board  does  not  presume  to  pass  ujx)n  the  sufficiency  of  this 
action,  complicated  as  the  Board  understands  it  to  be  by  additional  action  taken 
by  the  Trustees  of  Lane  Seminary  touching  their  relations  to  the  General 
Assembly,  the  jxjwer  of  decision  in  the  case  being  vested  in  the  General  Assem- 
bly alone,  yet  believing  that  in  the  specific  matter  for  which  t^e  seminary  was 
disapproved  the  authority  of  the  Assembly  has  been  acknowledged  by  the 
Lane  Trustees,  and  led  by  proper  and  kindly  consideration  for  the  needs  of  the 
candidates  for  the  ministry  who  are  entrusted  to  its  care  by  the  Church,  the 
Board  adopts  the  following  resolutions  : — 

Resolved^  That  this  Board,  ujx)n  recommendation  duly  made  by  the  Presby- 
teries, will  vote  the  customary  aid  given  tlieological  students,  to  students  in 
Lane  Seminary,  pending  further  instructions  by  the  next  General  Assembly. 

Resolved^  That  this  action  be  sent  to  the  Cliairmen  of  Committees  on  Edu- 
cation in  the  Presbj'teries,  to  students  heretofore  under  care  of  the  Board  in 
Lane  Seminary,  and  to  the  Trustees  of  Lane  Seminary,  and  that  it  be  rejxjrted 
in  full  to  the  next  General  Assembly,  with  such  additional  statements  as  may  be 
necessary. 

Another  matter  which  early  engaged  the  attention  of  the 
Board  was  the  question  of  the  comparative  importance  of  rendering 
aid  to  students  in  the  seminaries,  particularly  in  the  senior  and 
middle  years,  and  students  in  academies.  The  experience  of  seventy- 
five  years  has  led  the  Board  to  adopt  the  present  policy  of  refusing 
aid  to  students  until  ready  for  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases, 
but  the  action  of  the  last  General  Assembly  made  necessary  a  fresh 
study  of  the  subject.     The  Board  was  asked  to  consider  the  wisdom 


6  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

of  refusing  aid  to  such  students  in  the  latter  part  of  their  seminary 
career  as  could  secure  employment  by  which  they  could  support  them- 
selves entirely,  and  thus  leave  some  funds  free  to  be  expended  upon 
students  in  their  academic  career.  A  committee  of  the  Board,  by 
personal  interviews  with  professors  and  by  correspondence,  obtained 
the  views  of  teachers,  both  of  those  in  the  higher  institutions  of  learn- 
ing and  of  those  in  charge  of  fitting  schools.  The  result  of  this  new 
study  of  the  subject  was  presented  tQ  the  Board  in  a  report  which  was 
published  in  full  in  The  Church  at  Honu  and  Abroad  for  December. 
The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  expresses  the  profound 
conviction  that  to  no  students  is  aid  more  wisely  and  helpfully  given 
than  to  those  who  are  in  the  middle  and  senior  years  of  the  theological 
seminaries,  and  that  it  would  be  next  to  disastrous  to  withdraw  assist- 
ance at  that  stage  of  their  studies.  These  arc  the  men  who  have  been 
thoroughly  tried,  and  some  of  them  through  quite  a  long  series  of 
years,  and  money  expended  upon  them  is  almost  certain  to  prove  a 
wise  and  profitable  mvestment. 

The  studies  now  required  of  students  in  the  seminaries  during 
the  senior  year  are  so  numerous  and  important  that  all  interested  in 
their  education,  are  very  anxious  that  the  j-oung  men  should  not  be 
distracted  from  work  by  the  preparation  of  sermons,  and  by  going 
away  from  the  seminar>'  to  preach.  Many  of  the  students  are  burdened 
with  debts  which  have  accumulated  during  the  period  of  their  long 
and  expensive  education,  and  every  new  burden  laid  upon  them  is  a 
mortgage  on  their  future  usefulness,  and  in  particular  hinders  their 
obtaining  those  books  which  are  next  to  essential  to  their  success 
in  the  preparation  of  discourses  and  the  instruction  of  the  people  to 
whom  they  may  be  sent.  On  the  other  hand,  it  is  a  serious  question 
whether  boys  in  school  are  ordinarily  far  enough  advanced  to  be  able 
to  decide,  with  any  assurance,  that  thej'  ought  to  take  up  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  and  the  actual  experience  of  the  Board  during  those 
years  in  which  it  freely  aided  lads  in  their  academic  career  is  itself  a 
demonstration  of  the  wisdom  of  withholding  assistance  until  a  later 
period.  The  action  adopted  by  the  Board,  however,  leaves  it  free  to 
give  assistance  in  extraordinary  cases.  It  has  been  long  felt  that  the 
sons  of  ministers,  particularly  the  sons  of  home  and  foreign  mis- 
sionaries, have  a  claim  upon  the  funds  of  the  Board,  and  the  diflSculty 
of  securing  suitable  ministers  for  the  German,  Italian,  Spanish  and 
negro  portions  of  our  population,  and  the  peculiarities  of  the  work, 
and  the  special  poverty  of  the  candidates  from  among  these  and  other 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  7 

people  of  foreign  extraction,  has  constrained  the  Board  to  regard  them 
as  exceptional,  but  at  the  same  time,  it  endeavors  to  use  special 
precaution  in  all  such  cases,  as  the  rules  adopted  with  regard  to  them 
bear  witness. 

Every  eflfort  has  been  made  to  act  with  entire  impartiality  in  the 
matter  of  affording  grants.  A  few  academic  students  have  received 
assistance  who  are  not  included  in  either  of  the  classes  named  above  ; 
but  it  ought  to  be  understood  that  they  are  either  young  men  for 
whom  money  has  been  specially  provided,  or  else  those  whose  cir- 
cumstances were  so  peculiar  as  to  constrain  the  Board  to  make  them 
exceptional  cases.  It  has  been  a  special  pleasure  to  secure  aid  for 
some  of  these  students,  who  were  of  mature  mind,  and  well-ascer- 
tained piety  and  fixedness  of  purpose,  giving  unusual  promise  of 
usefulness,  and  who,  in  their  anxiety  to  be  thoroughly  well-prepared 
for  college- work,  were  taking  studies  in  the  academic  course.  They 
were  in  the  senior  preparatory  year,  and  the  money  generously 
afforded  by  special  contributions  will  probably  enable  them  to  enter 
college  in  the  fall  without  conditions.  It  will  be  a  happy  thing  if 
next  year  such  assistance  can  be  more  widely  given. 

The  mention  just  made  of  work  to  be  done  for  the  exceptional 
part  of  the  population  of  our  comitry  leads  to  the  remark  that  the 
time  is  ripe  for  very  greatly  increased  attention  to  the  matter  of 
securing  a  suitable  supply  of  ministers  for  their  instruction.  All 
intelligent  observers  have  understood  the  danger  to  our  institutions 
and  our  prosjjects  by  the  incoming  of  foreigners  not  easily  assimi- 
lated  to  our  thoughts  and  ways ;  but  the  danger  has  very  much 
increased  of  late,  by  reason  of  a  change  in  the  character  of  the 
immigration  to  this  countr>'.  There  are  fewer  English-speaking 
people  coming  to  us  now  ;  fewer  Protestants  ;  fewer  persons  moved 
by  rehgious  considerations.  In  1882  thirty-five  per  cent,  of  the 
immigrants  to  our  shores  spoke  the  English  language.  In  1892, 
only  eighteen  per  cent,  could  read  our  newspapers,  and  come  in 
touch  with  the  sentiments,  national,  moral  and  religious,  of  our 
people.  There  is  said  to  be  at  the  present  time  a  German  population 
in  the  United  States  of  8,000,000,  including  immigrants  and  their 
children  bom  in  this  country.  One  hundred  thousand  are  coming  to 
us  every  year  ; — not  so  much  the  deeply  religious  element,  as  was 
the  case,  many  years  ago,  but  rather  the  rationalistic,  unbelie\nng 
element.  The  Board  has  done  what  it  could  to  provide  for  the 
emergency  by  freely  aiding  all  well-recommended  students  in  our 


8  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

German  theological  schools  at  Dubuque  and  at  Bloomfield.  Probably 
as  many  as  one  hundred  and  seventy-five  churches  among  the 
German-speaking  people  are  now  ministered  to  by  graduates  fix)m 
these  schools  who  have  received  assistance  in  their  studies  from  the 
Board  of  Education,  and  are  doing  a  work  in  behalf  of  the  German- 
speaking  people,  the  importance  of  which  it  would  not  be  easy  to 
over-estimate. 

There  is  much  to  encourage  in  what  is  being  done  to 
provide  a  suitable  ministry  for  the  negroes  of  our  country.  A 
personal  visit  to  Lincoln  University  in  -Pennsylvania,  and  to  Biddle 
University  in  North  Carolina,  has  increased  the  conviction  that  our 
candidates  from  among  the  colored  people  are  inspired  by  a  genuine 
enthusiasm  for  learning  ;  are  faithful  and  devoted  to  their  studies  ; 
and  in  the  midst  of  much  poverty  are  making  great  sacrifices  in  the 
hope  of  obtaining  positions  in  which  they  may  be  of  benefit  to  their 
race.  It  has  been  specially  gratifying  to  find  what  genuine  sympathy  is 
displayed  by  the  pastors  of  Charlotte,  in  conne<!:tion  with  the  Southern 
Presbyterian  Church,  with  the  work  that  is  done  at  Biddle  University, 
and  what  respect  is  entertained  by  them  for  the  President,  and  his 
co-workers  in  that  excellent  institution.  The  Board  has  colored 
students  to  the  number  of  one  hundred  and  one  on  its  roll,  and  feels 
that  it  is  a  special  privilege  to  assist  these  sons  of  Africa  in  their 
struggles  to  elevate  their  long  down-trodden  race. 

Among  the  incidents  of  the  year  was  a  call  upon  the  Board 
from  the  Presbj-tery  of  St.  Clairsville  for  loans  to  be  made  to  students, 
and  in  larger  amounts  than  the  common  allowance.  This  demand 
from  the  Presbytery  was  based  on  action  supposed  to  have  been 
taken  by  the  General  Assembly  in  favor  of  such  a  poUcy,  and 
as  a  response  to  an  overture  sent  from  that  Presbytery.  Very  great 
regret  was  felt  that  there  should  have  been  any  misunderstanding  in 
the  matter,  but  the  printed  minutes  of  the  General  Assembly,  and 
the  testimony  of  the  Stated  Clerk  in  writing,  developed  the  fact  that 
the  official  record  shows  no  action  taken  by  the  General  Assembly  on 
this  subject.  Under  these  circumstances,  and  in  view  of  the  fact 
that  all  moneys  are  contributed  to  the  Board  with  the  stipulation 
that  the  student  aided  is  not  to  regard  what  he  receives  as  a  loan, 
but  as  the  Church's  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite 
his  preparation  for  the  ministry,  the  Board  felt  constrained  to  decline 
the  request.     (See  rules  of  the  Board  3,  section  9.) 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  9 

*'A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obligated  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world." 

Long  experience  has  shown  the  value  of  this  rule.  Many 
students,  at  their  graduation,  have  already  heavy  debts  hanging 
over  them,  and  should  be  spared  further  burden.  On  the  other 
hand,  it  has  been  demonstrated  that  our  ministers  who  have  received 
the  Church's  assistance  may  be  trusted  to  make  good  what  is  spent 
upon  them  in  faithful  service,  in  influence  exerted  for  the  work  of 
ministerial  education,  in  gifts,  directly  made  to  the  Board,  if  they 
have  been  prospered  in  having  this  world's  goods,  and  in  gifts 
secured  from  others,  besides  legacies  left  when  they  are  gone.  The 
annals  of  the  Board  will  abundantly  prove  the  truth  of  this  state- 
ment. 

In  accordance  with  another  recommendation  of  the  General 
Assembly,  the  Corresponding  Secretary  has  visited  such  Presbyteries 
as  he  could  reach,  and  endeavored  to  interest  their  members  to  an 
increased  degree  in  the  work  •  of  the  Board,  but  as  it  was  ob\'iously 
impossible  that  he  should  accept  all  invitations,  or  reach  all  parts  of 
the  country,  he  has  endeavored  to  secure  a  presentation  of  the  cause 
at  the  spring  stated  meeting  of  each  Presbytery  by  enlisting  the 
services  of  the  Education  Committees,  and  furnishing  them  with 
material  that  might  be  helpful  for  the  occasion.  The  duties  of  the 
OflSce  have  detained  him  near  Philadelphia  during  the  few  months 
since  he  entered  upon  his  work,  but  the  hope  is  cherished  that  in  the 
near  future  he  may  visit  remoter  districts,  including  the  Pacific 
Coast,  in  the  hope  that  a  new  impulse  may  be  given  to  the  cause  of 
ministerial  education  in  that  part  of  the  country.  The  generous 
offer  made  by  Elder  David  Jacks,  of  San  Jose,  California,  at  the 
meeting  of  the  last  General  Assembly,  was  highly  appreciated  by 
the  Board,  and  his  offer  of  a  contribution  towards  the  salary  of  a 
Field  Secretary  w^ould  have  been  gladly  accepted  if  the  way  had  been 
clear  to  enter  upon  the  work  proposed. 

Great  care  has  been  tak^n  to  weed  out  the  incapable  and  the 
unworthy  from  the  list  of  our  students,  while,  at  the  same  time,  the 
effort  has  been  constantly  made  to  encourage  devoted  yet  humble 


lO  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

men  who  have  had  perhaps  few  natural  advantages  and  have  enjoyed 
little  preparatory  training,  but  show  evidence  of  a  call  of  God,  and 
are  stri\nng  heroically  to  overcome  the  obstacles  in  their  way.  The 
testimony  of  experienced  teachers,  and  other  careful  observers,  goes 
to  show  that  ofttimes  just  such  men  are  afterward  fotmd  among  the 
most  eflBcient  workers  in  the  Church,  and  obtain  the  richest  reward 
of  service.  The  Board  is  under  g^eat  obligation  to  those  professors 
who  have  seconded  the  efforts  made  to  prevent  any  abuse  of  the 
gifts  of  the  Church,  and  it  gratefully  acknowledges  its  dependence 
on  their  watchfulness  and  scrupulous  conscientiousness.  It  cannot 
too  warmly  thank,  moreover,  those  Sessions  and  Churches,  and  the 
Education  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  that  have  endeavored  to 
scrutinize  in  the  most  careful  manner  all  applications,  and  have  kept 
watch  over  the  candidates  committed  to  their  care  through  all  stages 
of  their  career. 

Five  students  have  been  dropped  from  our  roll  during  the  year 
on  accoimt  of  deficiency  in  scholarship,  one  because  of  bad  conduct, 
and  four  because  they  have  married  while  under  the  care  of  the 
Board.  It  is  thought  in  some  quarters  that  the  rule  of  the  Board 
on  the  subject  of  marr>4ng  is  not  suflBciently  free  from  obscurity.  It 
is  accordingly  recommended  that  the  language  be  modified  so  that 
the  rule  shall  read  as  follows  : — 

III. — 7. — ^The  pajtnents  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Presbytery  has  expired;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suflFering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circimistances  enable  them  to  dispense 
with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improN-ident,  or  have  con- 
tracted debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have  married 
since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any  other 
educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months*  appropriation  shall  be 
forfeited. 

An  effort  was  made  to  set  forth,  in  a  satisfactory  way,  the  history 
and  achievements  of  the  Board  at  the  Columbian  Exposition  held 
recently  in  Chicago,  and  the  artistic  skill  of  our  clerk,  Mr.  Brooks, 
produced  a  creditable  exhibit  in  the  form  of  a  large  illuminated  chart 
with  the  seal  of  the  Board  and  statistics,  which  was  much  admired. 
This,  with  the  portrait  of  Dr.  Charles  Hodge,  who  for  seven  years 
w^as  the  President  of  the  Board,  was  sent  to  Chicago.  The  contro- 
versy about  Sunday  opening,  however,  kept  all  that  was  sent  con- 
ceal^ from  view.     The  chart  was  afterward  offered'  to  the  ' '  Field 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  1 1 

Columbian  Museum,*'  of  Chicago,  and  gratefully  accepted  as  a  desir- 
able acquisition  to  its  collection,  but  the  portrait  of  Dr.  Hodge  was, 
of  course,  returned  to  the  rooms  of  the  Board. 

As  we  have  to  deal  in  our  report  with  the  question  of  finding  a 
suflBcient  number  of  recruits  for  the  service  of  the  Church,  we  can- 
not avoid  an  allusion  to  the  fact  that  there  are  a  number  already  in  the 
ministry  who  have  no  specific  employment.  The  list  of  those  marked 
**  W.  C.,'*  undoubtedly  includes  a  large  number  of  persons  who  by 
reason  of  ill  health  or  utter  incapacity  of  some  kind,  are  not  qualified 
to  take  charge  of  our  congregations,  or  to  be  in  the  active  work  of  the 
ministry.     A  certain  proportion  of  the  failures  among  those  who  have 
been  educated  for  the  ministry  will  be  found  in  the  list  of  those  that 
liave  been  trained  at  the  expense  of  the  Church.     This  is  inevitable 
in  any  scheme  of  education  that  we  may  adopt.      A  certain  percent- 
age of  loss  must  always  occur  in  the  effort  to  train  men  for  any 
profession.     The  Board  is  constantly  making  the  most  faithful  efforts 
to  reduce  the  number  of  failures  to  a  minimun,  and  earnestly  asks 
the  assistance  of  the  Presbj-teries  and  Sessions  and  of  the  teachers  in 
our  schools  and  colleges  and  seminaries,  upon  whom  a  large  share 
of  the  responsibility  in  this  matter  must  rest.     The  belief  is  ver>' 
common  in  our  Church  that  better  arrangements  should  be  made  to 
secure  the  bringing  of  ministers  now  without  charge  into  relation- 
ship with  the  churches  without  pastors.     A  number  of  plans  have 
been  suggested  with  this  end  in  view,  and  it  is  earnestly  hoped  that 
much  good  may  result  from  the  efforts  now  being  made  to  remedy 
the  evil.     It  must  ever  be  borne  in  mind,  however,  that  if  all  the 
unemployed  ministers  were  to  be  set  over  the  churches  that  are  now 
vacant,  the  vacancies  would  still  be  numerous.     Immense  tracts  of 
unoccupied  territory  would  still  remain,  and  cities  of  thousands  of 
inhabitants  without  the  means  of  grace  would  still  be  calling  for  a 
trained  and  qualified  ministr>'  ;  while  the  vast  populations  of  the 
unevangelized  regions  in  heathen  lands,  in  this  age  of  forward  move- 
ments, imperatively  demand  a  great  enlargement  of  the  ministrj* ,  by 
the  instrumentality  of  which  it  has  pleased  God  to  give  the  Gospel 
to  all  nations. 

It  is  a  satisfaction  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  Board  has  had  under 
its  care  during  the  past  year  nine  hundred  and  thirteen  students ; 
an  increase  of  forty-five  over  the  number  reported  last  year.  At  the 
same  time,  it  is  important  that  the  Church  should  know  that  the 
j^wth  of  the  Church  itself,  has  far  outstripped  the  relative  increase  of 


12  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

candidates  since  the  organization  of  the  Board  in  1 8 1 9.  In  the  decade 
from  1 830  to  1 840  the  number  of  candidates  in  proportion  to  the  num- 
ber of  communicants  in  our  Church  was  as  one  to  three  himdred 
and  eighty-seven.  In  1894  we  have  one  candidate  for  every  one 
thousand  communicants.  In  1830,  we  had  one  candidate  for  every  24,- 
800  of  the  population  of  the  United  States.  In  1 894,  we  have  only  one 
candidate  for  every  69,000  of  our  population  ;  and  when  we  remember 
how  small  a  part  of  the  world  as  to  population  our  country  is,  we 
are  conscious  of  a  feeling  of  alarm  over  the  relatively  small  number  of 
those  whom  we  are  training  for  the  evangelization  of  our  fellow-men. 
It  is  a  solemn  consideration  that  we  this  moment  are  in  debt  to  all 
mankind  with  respect  to  the  Gospel ;  that  we  owe  a  knowledge  of 
salvation  through  Jesus  Christ  to  every  creature  now  li\nng. 
*  *  How  shall  they  believe  in  Him  of  whom  they  have  not  heard? 
How  shall  they  hear  without  a  preacher  ?  How  shall  they  preach 
except  they  be  sent  ?* '  Our  part  of  the  Church  of  Christ  cannot  avoid 
its  share  of  responsibility  in  reference  to  the  millions  of  still  une\'an- 
gelized  people  in  the  world. 

The  Board  recalls  with  gratitude  at  the  close  of  seventy-five 
years,  the  remarkable  history  recorded  in  its  favor.  It  points  %vith 
genuine  delight  to  the  really  remarkable  success  it  has  had  in  pro- 
viding during  these  years  so  largely  for  the  needs  of  the  Church  in 
the  prosecution  of  its  work  in  this  countr>',  and  in  foreign  lands.  It 
takes  pleasure  in  the  success  it  has  had  in  raising  and  maintaining 
the  standard  of  ministerial  education  in  our  ovm  Church  and  in  other 
religious  denominations,  so  that  it  is  becoming  a  rare  thing  to  find 
a  man  in  the  pulpit  who  has  not  had  a  classical,  collegiate  and  semi- 
nar\'  education.  It  reminds  the  Church  of  the  splendid  contributions 
made  during  these  years  to  her  literature  on  the  subject  of  the 
importance  and  dignity  of  the  ministr>',  the  nature  of  a  call  to  the 
sacred  oflBce,  and  the  means  of  determining  it,  the  care  of  candidates, 
and  the  cause  of  education  in  general,  contributed  by  the  pens  of 
some  of  the  most  distinguished  di\4nes  in  the  Church.  It  observes 
with  the  greatest  satisfaction  what  benefits  the  Church  at  large  is 
deri\4ng  from  that  plan  of  systematic  beneficence  which  it  can  justly 
claim  is  largely  the  fruit  of  its  own  studies  upon  the  subject,  and  of 
the  influence  it  has  exerted  in  this  direction,  particularly  by  its 
recommendation  made  to  the  General  Assembly  in  1854.  Two 
Presbj-teries  united  in  a  similar  recommendation.  The  result  was 
the  appointment  of  a  committee  to  formulate  a  plan,  which  was 


ANNUAL  REPORT  Oi^  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION

ably  drawn  up,  adopted  by  the  General  Assembly,  and  is  substan- 
tially that  under  which  such  notable  success  has  since  been  achieved 
'in  the  work  of  benevolence. 

The  future  is  anticipated  with  the  utmost  interest,  and  the  hope 
is  very  ardently  expressed  that  to  meet  the  exigencies  of  an  age 
unparalleled  for  intellectual  activity,  independence  of  thought, 
curious  inquiry,  restlessness  under  authority,  and  a  disposition  to 
call  in  question  matters  which  our  fathers  regarded  as  settled  for  all 
time,  the  Church  will  steadfastly  persevere  in  the  policy  to  which 
experience  has  abimdantly  testified,  in  insisting  that  her  candidates 
should  have  in  every  respect  the  best  possible  preparation.

1 6        ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 


ACTION  OF  THE  BOARD  ON  THE  RETIREMENT  OF  DR.  POOR. 


In  view  of  the  retirement  of  the  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.D.,  from  the  oflSce 
of  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Presbyterian  Board  of  Education,  we  desire 
to  place  upon  record  some  expression  of  our  high  regard  for  the  valuable 
service  which  he  has  rendered  in  his  administration  of  this  office. 

Seventeen  years  ago,  when  in  the  full  maturity  of  his  powers,  he  entered 
upon  this  work.  He  had  already  filled  many  positions  of  effective  and  influen- 
tial service  in  the  Church,  as  pastor  of  two  important  churches — in  Newark, 
N.  J.,  and  in  Oakland,  Cal. — as  the  chief  fector  in  building  up  German 
churches  and  in  founding  the  German  Theological  School  at  Bloomfield^  N.  J., 
and  as  a  professor  in  the  Theological  Seminary  at  San  Francisco,  so  that  in 
assuming  the  duties  of  this  office  he  brought  to  it  a  large  and  varied  experi- 
ence, a  thorough  sympathy  with  the  work  of  ministerial  education,  a  warm 
zeal  for  young  men  and  a  just  appreciation  of  the  magnitude  of  the  interest 
committed  to  his  charge. 

In  the  discharge  of  the  duties  of  this  office  Dr.  Poor  has  been  diligent 
and  faithful.  His  genial  disposition,  his  pleasant  address,  his  cheerful  spirit, 
his  hopefulness  amidst  discouragement,  his  earnest  activity,  and  his  abiding 
faith  in  God  have  combined  to  make  him  an  efficient  and  successful  Secretary. 
In  his  intercourse  with  the  ministers  of  our  Church,  in  his  interviews  with  the 
professors  of  our  literary  institutions,  and  in  his  meetings  with  the  students 
he  has  exerted  a  large  influence  for  good.  In  his  appeals  to  the  churches  for  the 
work  of  our  Board  and  in  his  addresses  at  the  judicatories  of  the  Church  he 
has  won  warm  friends  and  stimulated  a  deep  interest  in  the  matter  of  aiding 
young  men  into  the  ministry. 

As  to  our  own  association  with  Dr.  Poor,  as  we  have  met  him  so  often 
in  this  office  we  have  very  pleasant  memories.  We  have  found  in  him  a  kind- 
ness of  spirit  and  a  cordiality  of  manner  which  have  never  varied,  a  constant 
disposition  to  submit  his  own  judgment  to  the  wisdom  of  the  Board,  and  a 
ready  desire  to  carry  out  to  the  best  of  his  ability  those  measures  that  were 
adopted  to  promote  the  efficiency  of  our  work. 

In  parting  with  him  as  the  Secretary  of  the  Board  we  extend  to  him 
with  cordial  sincerity  our  kindest  assurances  of  warm  personal  regard.  And  it 
is  our  earnest  prayer  that  afler  the  long  day  of  honorable  aud  efficient  service 
it  has  pleased  God  to  give  him,  there  may  be  granted  to  him  a  calm  and  blessed 
evening-time  in  which  the  joy  of  the  Lord  may  be  his  strength,  and  during 
which  he  may  catch  some  glimpses  of  tlie  e-ceeding  weight  of  glory  that  is 
waiting  for  him  as  the  reward  of  the  "good  and  faithful  servant"

ACTION     OK    THE    GENERAL-  ASSENIBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following 
named  persons : 

MINISTERS.  EI.DERS. 

R.  S.  Hoi,MES,  D.  D.,  Wm.  G.  Parke, 

J.  H.  M.  Knox,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  Richmond  Drummond,

J.  K.  Wright,  Jesse  Axteix, 

H.  A.  Hari«ow,  E.  p.  Rice. 

Samuei.  Andrews. 

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday,  May  2i8t,  1894,  through 
their  Chairman,  Rev.  R.  S.  Holmes,  D.  D.,  which  was  accepted.  The 
Assembly  was  then  addressed  by  Rev.  E.  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding 
Secretary,  and  others. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted  and  is  as  follows : 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  respectfully  report  to  the  General 
Assembly  as  follows : — 

The  Committee  have  examined  with  due  care  the  minutes  of  the  Board 
since  the  last  approval  by  the  General  Assembly,  and  also  the  Seventy-Fifth 
Annual  Report  of  the  Board.  The  minutes  and  the  report  together  present  a 
summary  of  the  work  by  the  Board  for  the  past  year,  and  it  is  with  pleasure  that 
the  Committee  commends  the  fidelity,  wisdom  and  tact  which  have  characterized 
the  entire  action  of  the  Board. 

The  year  in  some  respects  has  been  one  of  trial.  During  it,  peculiar  and 
delicate  questions  arose  which  demanded  immediate  answer,  and  for  which  there 
was  no  precedent  to  serve  as  guide.  Changes  occurred  in  the  official  staff  and 
membership  of  the  Board,  which  introduced  a  number  of  men  new  to  the  duties 
devolved  upon  them  equal  almost  to  one-fourth  of  the  entire  membership  of  the 
Board  ;  and  the  ability  of  the  Board  to  meet  demands  upon  it  was  severely  tested 
by  an  effort,  out  of  decreased  contributions  by  the  Churches  and  Sabbath- 
schools,  to  subserve  the  wishes  of  the  last  General  Assembly  by  increasing  the 
amount  of  aid  granted  to  each  student  from  $80  to  |iio  for  the  year.  Despite 
the  difficulty,  the  accomplishments  of  the  Board  have  in  them  prophecy  of  power 
for  the  future  beyond  what  has  as  yet  been  attained,  and  though  the  maximum 
of  Jiio  per  year  to  each  aid-receiving  student  was  not  reached,  yet  it  will 
gratify  the  General  Assembly  to  know  that  an  increase  of  $20  for  each  student 
over  the  grants  for  the  previous  year  was  made. 


42  ANNUAX  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

or  the  changes  in  the  official  personnel  of  the  Board,  it  is  proper  to  speak 
briefly.  The  retirement  from  service  as  Corresponding  Secretary  after  many 
years  of  single-hearted  zeal,  of  the  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  makes  more  than  a 
passing  notice  proper.  Your  Committee  desires  to  acknowledge  the  eminent 
services  of  the  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  who  for  seventeen  years  was  the 
efficient  and  devoted  Corresponding  Secretary  of  this  Board,  and  who,  daring 
the  past  year,  on  account  of  advanced  age  and  failing  strength,  found  it  neces- 
sary to  resign  the  responsible  duties  of  this  office.  The  Church  gratefully 
remembers  the  large  and  loving  service  he  has  rendered  as  an  officer  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  and  sympathizes  with  him  in  the  sore  afflictions  through 
which  he  has  been  called  to  pass. 

Dr.  Poor's  successor,  the  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  entered  upon  the 
duties  of  the  office  about  December  ist,  1893,  and  has  had  as  yet  not  quite  six 
months  of  active  service.  The  Committee  recognizes  the  difficulties  which 
necessarily  confronted  him,  and  desires  to  express  gratitude  to  Almighty  God  that 
this  very  great  interest  seems  not  only  not  to  have  suffered  from  the  change,  but 
to  have  received  very  material  impetus  from  it.  The  Committee  congratulates 
the  General  Assembly  that  the  choice  was  so  wisely  made,  and  believes  that  its 
wisdom  will  become  more  manifest  with  each  succeeding  year. 

Among  the  questions  that  have  passed  under  the  review  of  your  Committee, 
there  are  three  which  should  receive  the  attention  of  the  Assembly. 

1.  The  first  question  concerns  the  action  of  the  Board  in  the  matters  at 
issue  between  the  General  Assembly  and  the  Trustees  of  Lane  Seminary.  The 
instructions  given  to  the  Board  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1893,  concern- 
ing aid  to  students  in  seminaries,  were  explicit :  [see  minutes,  page  161],  and 
the  Board  loyally  obeyed  ;  but  early  in  the  year  such  a  change  occurred  in  the 
status  of  Lane  students  by  reason  of  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the 
Seminary,  as  to  make  it  necessary  for  the  Board  of  Education  to  exercise  its 
discretion  in  the  matter  concerning  which  instructions  had  been  given.  Without 
traversing  the  history  of  the  relation  of  the  Board  to  the  students  at  Lane 
Seminary  further  than  has  been  done,  in  view  of  the  character  of  the  official 
notice  given  by  the  Trustees  of  Lane  Seminary  to  the  Board  of  Education  under 
date  of  Septemper  14th,  1893,  your  Committee  thinks  it  wise  to  commend  the 
action  of  the  Board  in  reference  to  aid-receiving  students  at  Lane  Seminary, 
especially  since,  by  direct  resolution  of  the  Board  passed  at  the  time  of  action, 
the  whole  matter  was  made  subject  to  report  to  this  General  Assembly  for  furthei; 
instructions. 

2.  The  second  question  concerns  the  division  of  funds  among  students  in 
the  different  grades  of  schools  whose  students  become  applicants  for  aid  from 
the  Board.  Your  Committee  has  heard  explicit  statements  from  representa- 
tives of  the  Board,  assigning  the  reasons  for  withholding  aid  from  students  not 
yet  entered  upon  college  curricula,  except  in  certain  special  cases,  and  for 
continuing  to  give  it  to  students  who  are  in  the  latter  part  of  their  Seminary 
career.  This  course  was  determined  on  deliberately  by  the  Board  after  re-study- 
ing the  subject,  as  asked  to  do  by  the  last  Genenal  Assembly,  and  after  personal 
interviews  with  professors,  and  correspondence  with  teachers  in  all  grades  of 
schools.  Your  committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  action  of  the  Board  is  in 
accordance  with  sound  business  principle,  and  it: should  be  heartily  sustained 
by  the  General  Assembly. 


ANNUAt  REPORT  OP  THH  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION  43 

3.  The  third  question  concerns  the  rule  of  the  Board  on  the  subject  of  its 
aid-receiving  students  marrying  while  in  course  of  preparation  for  work.  The 
rule  ought  to  be  beyond  any  possibility  of  being  misunderstood.  Whether  its 
violations  have  been  from  wilfulness,  misjudgment  or  misunderstanding,  your 
Committee  cannot  say,  but  the  fact  remains  that  four  candidates  for  the  ministry 
were  dropped  from  the  roll  of  the  Board  for  this  breach  of  its  rules  within  the 
year.  Your  Committee  think  that  the  rule  should  be  modified  to  read  as 
recommended  in  the  report  of  the  Board  : — viz. : 

III. — 7. — ^The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Presb3rtery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  .as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

Your  Committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  amount  of  work  which  is  being 
performed  by  the  Board,  and  its  value  to  the  Church  of  the  future,  should  be 
more  generally  understood  by  the  Churches  than  it  seems  to  be.  To  watch 
over  the  progress  of  the  education  of  nine  hundred  and  thirteen  young  men  is  no 
small  task  ;  to  provide  the  aid  they  need  is  not  a  smaller  task.  Nin^  hundred 
and  thirteen  students ;  this  is  the  number  aided  by  the  Board  in  the  past  year, 
an  increase  of  forty-five  over  the  year  preceding.  Nine  hundred  and  thirteen 
men  ;  almost  equal  in  number  of  an  infantry  regiment  of  the  regular  army  : — in 
the  onward  march  of  the  army  of  the  King  of  Kings  it  is  a  regiment,  the  flower 
of  the  host  being  drilled  and  equipped  to  furnish  leaders  for  the  conquests  of 
the  incoming  century. 

If  the  Board  had  g^ven  the  amount  recommended  by  the  last  General 
Assembly  to  each  of  these  students,  there  would  have  been  expended  in  this 
direction  alone  $99,770  or  $50,000  more  than  the  Churches  and  Sabbath-schools 
gave  for  this  end  during  the  year.  If  the  Board  shall  be  directed  to  maintain 
its  present  ratio  of  aid,  the  Assembly  must  take  some  measures  to  insure  the 
putting  of  these  facts  before  the  churches. 

Your  Committee  is  gratified  to  know  that  the  niunber  of  candidates  for  the 
ministry  is  increasing,  but  the  fact  will  cease  to  be  a  source  of  gratification, 
unless  the  number  of  churches  contributing  to  this  Board  be  also  largely  increased. 
More  than  four  thousand  churches  gave  nothing  to  this  cause  last  year.  Of  course, 
therefore,  there  is  debt.  Were  it  not  for  the  legacies  received,  which  amounted 
to  $63,000  during  the  year,  there  would  have  been  a  g^at  debt  to-day  upon  the 
Board,  and  as  it  is,  the  Board  has  been  compelled  to  exhaust  its  reserve  fund, 
and  is  actually  in  debt  to  its  Permanent  Investment  Fund  $5,000.  It  seems 
vastly  strange  to  your  Committee  that  dead  Presbyterians  should  be  of 
more  value  to  the  work  of  the  Church  than  living  ones.  For  this  condition 
of  afiairs,  there  are  two  possible  remedies.  One  is  to  increase  the  income  ;  the 
other  to  decrease  the  outgo.  Each  of  these  is  proximately  within  the  power  of 
the  Presbjrteries,  and  that  such  power  may  be  madeeflfective,  each  Commissioner 
to  this  Assembly  in  making  his  report  to  Presbytery  of  his  fidelity,  to  his 


44  ANNUAl.  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

commission,  should  rehearse  the  particular  need  of  this  Board,  and  appeal  for 
increased  gifts.  Furthermore,  Presbyterial  Standing  Committees  ought  to 
examine  with  very  great  care  the  financial  possibilities  of  the  families  out  of 
which  the  applicants  for  aid  come,  and  where  it  is  possible  for  the  parents  or 
families  to  aid  such,  aid  should  be  secured. 

In  connection  with  the  fact  of  the  insufficiency  of  the  contributions  from 
the  Churches  and  Sabbath-schools,  your  Committee  has  had  brought  to  its 
attention  the  desirability  of  making  permanent  provision  for  numbers  of  students 
in  theological  seminaries  by  means  of  scholarship  fimds  whose  income  shoidd 
be  forever  applied  to  the  support  of  such  students  as  might  meet  the  conditions 
upon  which  the  funds  were  given.  Two  thousand  dollars  invested  at  5  per 
cent,  per  annum  would  3rield  the  net  Jioo  per  year  now  given  by  the  Board, 
and  your  Committee  thinks  the  General  Assembly  should  urge  Presbyterial 
and  Synodical  Committees  to  put  the  matter  before  the  Churches  earnestly 
and  persistently  till  the  number  of  scholarships  become  sufficient  to  serve  as 
a  supplement  to  the  aid  made  possible  through  the  annual  contributions  of  the 
Churches  to  the  Board. 

In  conclusion,  your  Committee  calls  the  attention  of  this  Assembly  to  a 
far  greater  need  than  any  that  has  been  mentioned,  and  that  is  the  need  of 
more  men  for  the  vast  work  that  will  confront  the  Church  as  she  passes 
through  the  opening  doors  of  the  nineteenth  century.  The  very  providences 
that  are  to-day  operating  to  cripple  industries  are  increasing  the  burden  that 
the  Church  must  bear.  Immigration  is  pouring  in  upon  us  three-qiiarters  of  a 
million  souls  each  year.  Political  and  social  unrest  is  on  the  increase.  The 
poorer  classes  are  g^wing  poorer,  and  half-intelligent  efforts  towards  practical 
realization  of  the  ideas  of  socialism  are  making  all  efforts  for  their  evangelization 
by  a  church  which  is  supposed  to  be  made  up  of  the  rich  and  capitalistic  classes 
ever  more  difficult.  The  need  for  a  ininistry  educated  wisely,  up  to  the 
demands  of  the  hour,  is  great,  very  great.  The  need  for  more  money  to  provide 
such  a  ministry  is  great,  very  great  We  have  as  a  Church,  men  out  of  the 
great  middle  class,  ready  to  enter  the  field.  We  have  the  institutions  which 
can  grandly  perform  the  educational  work  needed.  We  have  in  our  membership 
men  possessed  of  the  money  sufficient  to  enable  us  to  meet  the  needs  of  the 
hour  if  only  we  can  get  it.  If  only  we  can  get  it,  we  have  the  Board  of  Education 
that  can  well  and  wisely  use  it,  and  we  can  get  all  the  money  needed  if  only 
the  person  who  has  it  and  this  mighty  need  of  the  Church  can  be  brought  into 
right  relations  each  to  each. 

Members  of  the  One  Hundred  and  Sixth  General  Assembly,  your  Committee 
commends  to  your  care  and  prayer,  to  your  heads,  to  your  hearts,  and  to  your 
hands,  the  Board  of  Education,  and  offers  the  following  reconmiendation  : — 

1.  That  the  minutes  of  the  Board  for  the  year  be  approved. 

2.  That  Rev.  Samuel  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Robert  Hunter,  D.  D., 
Rev.  Chas.  Wadsworth,  Jr.,  Geo.  W.  Bailey,  M.  D.,  Chas.  H.  Mathews,  Esq., 
and  Geo.  Pierce,  Esq. ,  whose  terms  of  service  expire  this  year,  be  re-elected. 

3.  That  Rule  3  Section  7,  of  the  Rules  of  the  Board,  be  amended  to  read  as 
follows : — 

III. — 7. — The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom-

mended  by  the  Presbytery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance ;  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months*  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

4.  That  the  action  of  the  Board  in  regard  to  aid-receiving  students  at 
Lane  Seminary  be  approved  and  commended. 

5.  That  the  action  of  the  Board  exercising  discretionary  power  in  the 
granting  of  aid  to  students  below  college  grade,  be  approved. 

6.  That  the  Presb3rteries,  through  their  Standing  Committees  on  Education 
be  enjoined  to  see  to  it  that  an  intelligent  presentation  of  the  work,  fruits  and 
claims  of  this  Board  be  made  from  their  pulpits  at  least  annually,  in  order  that 
sufficient  funds  may  be  provided  for  the  maintenance  and  enlargement  of  the 
work  of  this  Board. 

7.  That  the  Sjmods  and  Presbyteries  be  advised  to  direct  the  attention  of 
the  churches  to  the  need  of  donations  and  legacies  for  the  foundation  of  schol- 
arships in  the  theological  seminaries  under  the  supervision  of  the  General 
Assembly. 

8.  That  the  Assembly  does  hereby  call  upon  the  Church  for  at  least 
$130,000  for  the  work  of  the  coming  year. 

9.  That  the  Assemby  expresses  its  high  appreciation  of  the  faithful  labors 
of  this  Board,  and*  its  executive  officers. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted, 

Richard  S.  Hoi^mbs, 

Chair^nan. 

The  following  supplementary  report  of  the  Standing  Committee  was  also 
received  and  adopted  : — 

Supplementary  report  of  your  Committee  on  Education  to  whom  was 
referred  Overture  No.  219,  being  an  announcement  from  the  presbytery  of 
West  Chester  that  the  Presbytery  will  care  for  its  own  students  below  collegiate 
grades,  and  at  the  same  time  will  urge  its  churches  to  so  increase  gifts  as  not 
to  decrease  its  contributions  to  the  Board  of  Education. 

Your  Committee  recommends  that  the  action  of  the  Presbytery  be  com- 
mended. 

Richard  S.  Hoi^mes,

Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
of  the  Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry' 
of  the  Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presb>'tery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbyten*^  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Bo^rd  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  fon^-arding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  o?  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita- 
tion given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbyter>'  to 
which  he  would  most  naturally  belong;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following 
cjuestions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will 
invariably  be  required  by  the  Board  :  Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age  ? 
Residence?  Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the  following,  and  were  nis 
answers  satisfactory  as  to  his  Piety  ?  Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  Talents.^ 
Health?  Promise  of  practical  efficiency?  Is  he  free  from  expensive  and 
injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian 
Church  ?  Please  name  the  church.  What  is  his  stage  of  study  ?  If  in  Academy, 
give  name  and  class.  If  in  College,  give  name  and  class.  If  in  Seminary,  give 
name  and  class.  If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  statement 
of  the  circimistances  that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case 
extraordinary.  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate 
course  or  its  equivalent  If  an  equivalent,  what  was  it?  If  the  candidate  is 
colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI.,  Sec.  i  and  Sec.  2?  Has  he  been 
recommended  to  Presbj^ry  by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  West- 
minster Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give  the  name  of  some  responsible  person  ( usually 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or  the  student's  pastor)  through 
whom  the  payments  of  appropriations  may  be  made.  Wliat  is  the  smallest 
amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessaiy  expenses  to  the  end  of  this  fiscal 
year,  viz. ,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  sent  herewith  ?  Does  he 
accept  the  requirements  they  contain  ?  At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of .  .  . 
held  at .   .   .  on  the  .   .   .  day  of ...  18    ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry

ANNUAI,  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  47 

named  above,  having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the  points  indicated 
by  the  questions  above,  is  hereby,  by  order  of  the  Presbytery,  recommended 
to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified.     Signed  by  .    .    . 
Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbjrterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases. 

III. — SCHOI^RSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  colleg^te  students,  and  not  exceed  (150 ;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  {100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economy  ? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
the  amount  ^ven,  with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students  ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Presbytery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
with  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on, or  continue  in, the  work  of  the 
ministry  (unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  or  if  he  changes  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expeaite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


48  ANNUAI.  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

IV. — Care  op  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  m  institutions  that  S3mipamize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
pursue  a  three  years*  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  tneir  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the 
bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  neeid  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tena  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors*  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and-  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from 
the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presb3rtery  at  the  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
dili^nce,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  inta  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  com- 
municate without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbjrtery  ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no 
satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presb3rtery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education 
within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3) :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfectory 
as  to  the  '  *  real  piety ' '  of  the  students,  ' '  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced 
them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who 
request  them. 

V. — PARTICU1.AR  Duties  op  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affi^ctionately 
reminded  that  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the 
cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special 
attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Soiptures ; 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  l4ord  of  nil ; 


ANNUAI,  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  ^g 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavors 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious 
and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  me  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  snail  find  it  neoessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the 
Board ;  and  if, when  ^ven,  he  ^all  not  be  absent  from  studjr  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  t^iat  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Speciai,  Ruizes  for  Coi^ored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry 
among  the  negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of 
thorough  trial  and  approvaiboth  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three 
years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering 
college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full 
collegiate  course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable 
him  to  reach  a  grade  of  at  least  70,  out  of  a  possible  one  hundred,  in  sciences  and 
langiiages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside 
from  his  ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  langiiages,  he  should 
be  advised  to  pursue  a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology, 
Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbjrteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great 
importance  of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of 
this  Boaj;d  reported  to  it  as  soon  as  possible  after  such  lapses  from  Christian 
character  shall  be  known . 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious 
fidelity,  the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of 
the  Board,  are  requested  to  fumisn  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information 
as  to  the  moral  and  Christian  character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise 
of  the  candidate  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions, 
and  as  it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  mini- 
mum sum  that  will  meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any 
named  sum  at  the  special  institution  will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board 
shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special 
resolution  of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47) 
that  candidates  enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally 
belong,  and  by  the  Assembly  of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87) 
it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate 
studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  with  both  the  doctrines  and  polity 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the  care  of  the  Board  are 
enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presb3rteries,  and  to  attend 
in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the  care 
of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  oy  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church. 


50  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

Presbyterial  Recommendation  of  a  Candidate  to  **The  Board  of 
Education  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  5.  A. 


4ar"The  Board  of  Education  has  been  instructed  hereafter  invariably  to  require,  in  connection 
with  the  acceptance  of  a  student,  and  before  promising  him  aid  from  the  funds  of  the  Church,  definite 
answers  to  several  important  questions  which  may  conveniently  be  given  according  to  the  form 
below. 

A  candidate,  in  order  to  receive  aid,  must  have  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or 
some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year :  be  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  his  church 
session  ;  and,  except  in  extraordinary  cases  '(colored  students,  and  those  of  foreign  populations, 
especially,)  be  prepJared  to  enter  college. 

The  recommendation,  both  by  church  session  and  Presbytery,  must  be  renewed  annually,  if 
possible  at  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Presbytery,  and  should  state  the  lowest  possible  amount 
within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly  that  the  candidate  requires  to  meet  his  necessary 
expenses  for  the  year. 

J^irThe  following  form  will  also  answer  for  Annual  Renewals ;  such  questions  as  that  of  the 

candidate's  age,  and  that  of  his  length  of  time  in  communion  with  the  Church,  if  answered  before, 

evidently  need  not  be  repeated  ;  but,  on  consideration,  it  will  be  manifest  that  almost  all  the  other 

questions  deserve  annual  inquiry.

Seventy-Sixth  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education,  with  gratitude  to  God,  reports  to  the 
General  Assembly  that  there  has  been  no  change  in  its  membership 
by  death  or  resignation  throughout  the  year.  At  the  annual  elec- 
tion, on  the  eleventh  of  June,  all  the  officers  were  re-elected,  viz.: — 
Rev.  Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President ;  Rev.  Jas.  M.  Crowell,  D.  D., 
Vice-President;  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding 
Secretary  ;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D. ,  Assistant  to  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  ;  Jacob  Wilson,  Recording  Secretary  and  Treasurer.  The 
many  friends  of  the  venerable  and  beloved  Dr.  Poor  will  be  glad  to 
learn  that  he  enjoys  a  fair  degree  of  health,  and  is  able  to  visit  the 
rooms  of  the  Board  almost  every  day. 

ESTIMATES    MADE. 

It  was  thought  best  to  make  an  early  estimate  of  the  probable 
receipts  for  the  coming  year  in  order  that  timely  notice  might  be 
given  to  candidates  and  their  friends  with  regard  to  the  amount  of 
aid  which  they  might  expect  to  receive.  The  conclusion  was 
reached  and  promptly  published  in  June  last  that  we  could  not  ven- 
ture to  give  more  than  $80.00  to  each  college  and  seminary  student, 
and  $70.00  to  each  candidate  in  the  preparatory  stage  of  study,  and 
further  that  we  should  be  obliged  to  limit  the  number  of  candidates 
aided  to  nine  hundred. 

It  was  hoped  that  the  early  notice  thus  given  would  induce  the 
chairmen  of  our  education  committees  for  the  sake  of  the  students  to 
act  with  promptitude  in  forwarding  to  the  Board  the  applications  made 
by  the  presbyteries ;  but  in  fact  many  young  men  who  were  approved 
by  the  presbyteries  and  recommended  for  aid  found  themselves  in  a 
painful  predicament,  having  incurred  debts  at  college  or  at  the  semin- 
ary, in  full  dependence  upon  aid  from  our  treasury,  only  to  find  that 
their  recommendations  were  not  forwarded  until  the  full  number  whom 
the  Board  could  aid  from  its  regular  income  were  already  enrolled.  We 
take  this  occasion  to  urge  that  the  chairmen  of  the  education  commit- 
tees of  the  presbyteries  should  send  in  as  many  of  the  recommenda- 
tions as  possible  in  May  or  June,  and  should  bear  in  mind  that  it  is  not 
safe  to  look  for  a  favorable  response  to  an  application  which  reaches 

3 


4  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD   OF  EDUCATION 

our  rooms  later  than  the  end  of  October.  At  the  first  meeting  in 
November,  1894,  the  Board  was  obliged  to  say  that  they  dared  not 
accept  any  new  candidates  except  to  receive  assistance  which  might 
be  gotten  for  each  individual  case.  A  considerable  number  of  young 
men  were  received  on  this  condition  and  aid  was  obtained  for  all  of 
them  by  the  gifts  made  by  members  of  the  Board  or  by  other  kind- 
hearted  friends. 

OUR    CANDIDATES. 

It  is  not  many  years  since  the  General  Assembly  felt  it  to  be 
necessary  to  make  special  inquiry  into  the  causes  which  were 
discouraging  the  young  men  of  our  Church  from  offering  them- 
selves for  the  holy  ministry,  and  to  suggest  measures  that  might 
remove  them.  The  situation  is  so  much  improved  that  the  Board 
of  Education  is  able  to  report  that  a  larger  number  of  recommenda- 
tions have  been  received  during  the  past  year  than  during  any  pre- 
vious year  in  its  history.  The  total  number  of  candidates  recom- 
mended was  1074,  of  whom  forty-three  were  declined,  leaving  as 
the  total  number  enroUtd  1031.  Three  hundred  and  fifteen  of 
these  were  new  men  and  716  were  men  who  had  received 
aid  in  previous  years.  The  general  health  of  this  large  body 
of  students  seems  to  have  been  excellent,  and  not  more  than  one 
or  two  have  been  reported  to  us  as  compelled  to  suspend  their 
studies  on  account  of  sickness.  Two,  however,  died  in  the  midst  of 
their  work  of  preparation,  one  a  student  at  the  theological  seminary 
at  Danville,  Ky.,  and  the  other  at  McCormick  Seminary,  Chicago. 
A  very  careful  watch  is  kept  upon  the  progress  of  our  candidates  and 
upon  their  general  fidelity  by  means  of  reports  given  to  us  three  times 
a  year  by  the  professors  in  the  institutions  where  the  young  men  are 
at  work.  Payments  are  always  withheld  in  case  of  unsatisfactory 
reports  until  explanations  are  received  which  can  reasonably  be 
accepted.  Such  explanations  have  been  commonly  given  in  the  few 
cases  which  this  year  were  not  up  to  our  standard,  and  we  have  had 
great  pleasure  in  observing  the  general  excellence  of  the  work  done. 
We  have,  however,  felt  compelled  to  drop  two  of  our  men  for  failure 
to  maintain  a  high  enough  grade  in  scholarship.  It  is  to  be  noted 
that  the  difi&culty  in  most  cases  arises  from  the  fact  that  the  students 
have  gone  to  college  without  adequate  preparation,  burdened  down 
with  conditions,  and  pressed  with  work  beyond  their  powers :  the 
whole  situation  being  aggravated  by  the  anxiety  of  mind  which 
comes  from  incessant  pecuniary  embarrassment.     Four  of  our  candi- 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION  5 

dates  have  taken  to  themselves  wiyes  during  the  year.  They  were 
at  once  dropped  from  our  roll  according  to  our  invariable  rule.  A 
student  in  the  San  Francisco  Theological  Seminary  has  enjoyed  the 
privilege  of  a  year's  course  in  a  medical  college,  as  an  additional 
preparation  for  foreign  missionary"  work,  through  the  liberality  of  a 
member  of  the  Board. 

THE  NEWBERRY  SCHOLARSHIP 

This  scholarship,  established  according  to  the  terms  of  the  will 
of  the  late  John  S.  Newberry,  of  Detroit,  Michigan,  yields  an  income 
of  $500.00  per  annum.  Its  benefits  are  awarded  after  a  competitive 
examination  to  a  theological  student  to  be  enjoyed  during  a  period 
of  three  years  in  succession.  The  Newberry  scholar  for  the  present 
is  Mr.  Harry  N.  Wilson,  who  after  graduation  at  McConnick  semi- 
nary has  been  spending  a  third  year  in  postgraduate  studies.  We 
have  received  the  most  gratifying  reports  of  his  progress  throughout 
his  course. 

The  Board  has  adopted  the  policy  of  conferring  the  benefits  of  this 
scholarship  upon  students  selected  from  our  several  seminaries  in 
succession. 

The  next  Newberry  scholar  will  be  selected  from  among  the 
students  of  Auburn  Seminary. 

The  particular  attention  of  the  friends  of  theological  education 
is  called  to  the  happy  results  obtained  from  the  endowment  of  this 
scholarship  in  the  hope  that  others  may  be  induced  to  imitate  the 
example  of  Mr.  Newberry  and  provide  similar  foundations  for  the 
encouragement  of  efforts  to  reach  the  highest  standard  of  excellence 
in  preparation  for  the  work  of  the  ministry. 

THE  EXCEPTIONAL  POPULATION. 

There  are  special  features  about  the  work  of  training  candidates 
for  the  colored  people,  the  Germans,  the  Italians,  the  Spaniards,  and 
others,  requiring  generally  separate  institutions,  and  some  variation 
from  the  rules  which  govern  us  in  aiding  the  rest  of  our  students. 
We  have  had  one  hundred  and  thirteen  colored  men  under  our  care 
during  the  year,  an  increase  of  twelve  over  the  previous  year.  The 
reports  from  these  men  are  on  the  whole  very  encouraging.  They 
are  enduring  many  privations  amidst  deep  poverty  in  their  zeal  to 
secure  for  themselves  a  suitable  preparation  for  the  work  of  the  min- 
istry among  the  needy  colored  people  of  this  country  and  also  for  the 
evangelization  of  Afiica.     Two  of  the  class  just  graduated  from 


6  ANNUAI.  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

Lincoln  University  have  been  accepted  as  missionaries  to  the  '  *  dark 
continent. '  * 

The  Presbyterian  College  of  the  South- West  is  doing  an  excel- 
lent work  in  training  men  taken  from  among  the  Spanish-speaking 
people  of  that  part  of  our  land  We  have  thirteen  students  under 
our  care  in  that  institution. 

A  very  interesting  experiment  has  been  made  during  the  year 
by  the  faculty  of  the  Newark  Theological  School.  A  fourth  year 
has  been  added  to  the  currictdum,  which  is  called  the  *  'pastoral  year. '  * 
It  is  spent,  under  the  direction  of  the  faculty,  in  the  study  of  city 
mission  work,  and  will,  it  is  thought,  be  of  the  greatest  practical 
advantage  as  a  preparation  for  the  duties  and  responsibilities  which 
must  be  presently  assumed  by  the  young  men  whose  training  for 
some  years  is  necessarily  to  a  large  degree  of  a  theoretical  character. 

In  this  place  the  Board  takes  fresh  occasion  to  call  attention  to 
the  action  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1885  with  regard  to  the  edu- 
cation in  this  country  of  candidates  from  the  foreign  field.  A 
number  of  such  men  are  pursuing  their  education  in  our  institutions 
of  learning,  and  the  question  of  providing  for  their  support  has 
proved  seriously  embarrassing.  Applications  for  aid  still  reach  the 
Board  from  the  presbyteries  which  have  such  candidates  under  their 
care.  These  applications,  however,  can  only  find  acceptance  under 
the  circumstances  defined  by  the  General  Assembly.  The  candidate 
from  a  foreign  field  must  have  '  *  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,**  or  have  '*  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a 
special  invitation  given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other 
duly  recognized  church  authorities,  or  missionaries  resident  on  the 
fields  from  which  these  students  come.**  We  are  so  well  assured  of 
the  wisdom  of  this  rule  that  we  should  strongly  deprecate  the  chang- 
ing of  any  of  its  essential  features. 

PRACTICAL  TRAINING. 

The  experience  of  the  Newark  Theological  School  is  worthy  of 
careful  consideration.  The  best  medical  schools  of  the  country  are 
adding  a  fourth  year  to  the  course  of  study,  and  this  is  followed 
where  possible  by  still  another  year  spent  in  getting  that  practical 
experience  which  a  year  or  more  in  hospital  and  dispensary  work 
gives  to  the  man  who  is  looking  forward  to  the  responsibility  of  pre- 
scribing for  the  bodily  ailments  of  his  fellow-men .  There  seems  also  to 
be  an  increasing  disposition  on  the  part  of  our  theological  students 
to  take  a  fourth  year  of  post-graduate   study  in  this  country  or  in 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  7 

Europe.  Has  not  the  time  come  for  considering  the  question 
of  providing  for  the  appointment  of  all  of  the  graduates  of  our  theo- 
logical seminaries  to  at  least  a  year  of  missionary  labor  in  diflferent 
parts  of  our  land,  so  that  experience  may  be  gained  and  preparation 
made  for  the  larger  responsibilities  which  may  possibly  be  awaiting 
them  afterwards  ?  It  would  be  a  great  boon  to  most  of  our  candi- 
dates to  be  assured  that  a  place  of  labor  was  awaiting  them  at  the 
close  of  their  studies  ;  and  it  is  quite  certain  that  there  are  not  want- 
ing those  who  would  much  prefer  to  begin  their  ministry  in  an 
humble  field  rather  than  press  their  way  into  the  more  comfortable 
places  where  the  opportunity  to  **  endure  hardness  **  is  not  at  hand. 
It  will  be  a  task  of  no  little  difficulty  to  arrange  the  details  of  a  plan 
for  the  carrying  into  eflfect  of  such  a  proposition,  but  it  is  certain 
that  there  are  far  more  stations  awaiting  the  appointment  of  laborers 
than  there  will  be  found  laborers  to  occupy  them  when  the  means 
are  found  of  bringing  the  men  and  the  places  into  relation  with  one 
another.  Efficient  measures  for  the  manning  of  our  vacancies  ought 
soon  to  be  taken .  Many  are  dying  for  lack  of  care.  The  most  hopeful 
plan  is  to  send  to  them  our  newly-graduated  men.  It  is  but  reason- 
able that  those  who  have  received  the  benefit  of  gratuitous  education 
and  the  privileges  derived  from  rich  endowments  at  educational 
centres  should  devote  the  beginning  of  their  ministry  to  toil  of  this 
kind.  Their  success  in  such  a  year  of  preliminary  work  would  consti- 
tute an  excellent  recommendation  for  promotion  at  its  close  to  places 
of  larger  responsibility  and  wider  influence. 

FINANCIAL  CONDITION. 

The  year  began  with  a  debt  of  five  thousand  dollars  to  the 
Permanent  Fund.  The  year  closes  with  this  debt  reduced  to 
$3,539.33.  The  income  from  churches  and  Sabbath-schools  is  nearly 
two  thousand  dollars  greater  than  the  year  before.  The  total  from 
these  sources,  however,  is  only  about  $50,000.  The  Permanent 
Fund  yields  about  $8,000.  It  is  quite  wonderful,  under  these  cir- 
cumstances, that  we  are  able  to  report  that  we  have  given  aid  to  1033 
candidates.  It  has  only  been  accomplished  by  cutting  down  by 
twenty  per  cent,  the  amount  allowed  to  the  candidates,  and  by  our 
being  able  to  turn  into  the  treasury  an  unusual  amount  of  money 
from  legacies.  It  cannot  be  expected  that  any  such  sum  will  be 
received  from  bequests  during  the  coming  year,  and  it  is  much  to  be 
desired  that  the  candidates  under  our  care  should  hereafter  be  more 
generously  dealt  with.      Under  these  circumstances  considerable 


8 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 


anxiety  must  be  felt  as  to  the  future.  It  is  very  evident  that  the 
work  of  the  Board  has  far  outgrown  the  limits  to  which  in  the  view 
of  the  Church  it  was  confined.  The  presbyteries  are  recommending 
men  in  greatly  increased  numbers,  while  the  contributions  from  the 
churches  are  actually  no  more  than  they  were  ten  years  ago  when 
the  number  of  candidates  was  but  619.  We  must  expect  at  least  1050 
candidates  next  year.  We  can  only  aid  these  young  men  to  the  extent 
that  the  Church  enables  us  by  its  gifts.  It  is  clear  that  a  great  advance 
is  imperatively  necessary  if  we  are  not  to  be  seriously  crippled  in  the 
fundamental  task  of  raising  up  a  well-educated  ministry  for  the 
Church's  work  at  home  and  abroad. 

The  members  of  the  Board  whose  term  of  service  expires  this 
year  are  the  following : — Rev.  John  S.  Macintosh,  D.  D.  ;  Rev. 
Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.  D.  ;  Rev.  Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D. ;  John 
W.  Patton,  Esq.  ;  George  H.  Stuart,  Jr.  ;  and  Rudolph  S.  Walton.

36  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 


APPENDIX. 


ACTION     OK    THE    QENERAL.    ASSEIVIBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  following  named 
persons : 

Ministers  Elders 

MARTIN  D.  KNEELAND,  D.  D..  AMOS  S.  EVANS 

THOS.  F.  DAY,  CHAS.  K.  HALL,  M.  D., 

JOHN  F.  HINKHOUSE.  JOS.  N.  WHEELER, 

DANIEL  M.  MOORE.  THOS.  S.  HULSE, 

JOS.  R.  TEVVEIyL,  HARVEY  CAMPBELL. 

JOHN  B.  HILL,  WM.  McCLEAN, 

ROBERT  H.  FULTON,  GEO.  W.  REYNOLDS, 

S.  NYE  HUTCHINSON,  THOS.  TUTTLE, 

CLINTON  D.  HOOVER,  JOHN  P.  TATE. 

WM.  K.  PRESTON,  ROBERT  L-  EDMISTON, 
CHAS.  J.  YOUNG,  D.  D. 

The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Wednesday,  May  22d,  1895, 
through  their  Chairman,  Rev.  Martin  D.  Kneeland,  D.  D.,  which  was  accepted. 
The  Assembly  was  then  addressed  by  the  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Cor- 
responding Secretary,  and  others. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows  : 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  respectfully  report  to  the  General 
Assembly  as  follows  : — 

We  cannot  forbear,  as  an  introduction,  to  express  our  gratitude  to  Almighty 
God,  that  He  has  spared  so  long  our  beloved  father,  the  former  secretary,  Rev. 
D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  whose  face,  we  understand,  is  still  seen  at  tiie  rooms  of  the 
Board. 

In  studying  carefully  the  report  of  the  board,  and  conversing  freely  with 
its  Secretary  and  Treasurer,  we  are  struck  with  its  wise  foresight,  and  the  eflS- 
cient  management  of  its  important  interests.  It  trimmed  its  sails  to  the  wind, 
and  adjusted  its  ballast  at  the  very  beginning  of  the  year.  Although  your 
Committee  of  last  year  recommended  that  the  sum  of  $150,000  be  raised  for  its 
work,  the  board  made  up  its  estimates  and  grants  on  the  basis  of  a  much  smaller 
income.  In  this,  as  results  have  proved,  they  acted  wisely.  They  did  not 
venture  to  promise  more  than  fSo  to  college  and  seminary  students,  and  $70  to 
preparatory  students.    This  caused  some  disappointment  and  criticism ;  yet 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  37 

their  action  saved  them  much  greater  disappointment,  criticism  and  censure, 
which  must  have  resulted  if  they  had  continued  to  make  the  larger  grants  of 
the  previous  year.  We  do  not  wish  to  be  understood,  in  commending  their 
foresight  and  business  sagacity,  to  commend  the  negligence  of  so  many  of  our 
churches  which  made  such  reduction  necessary,  but  rather  that  wise  action 
which  enlarged  the  number  of  those  whom  they  were  able  to  assist,  without 
seriously  and  unjustifiably  crippling  their  resources,  or  involving  themselves  in 
a  disastrous  debt. 

The  board  found  it  necessary  also  to  limit  the  number  of  candidates  to  900. 
This  seemed  at  first  glance  unwise.  When,  however,  we  find  that  131  more 
candidates  were  assisted  than  the  900  to  whom  aid  was  promised,  and  that  this 
was  partly  done  through  the  generosity  of  members  of  the  board  and  kind- 
hearted  friends  whom  they  interested  in  individual  cases,  and  that  not  one 
worthy  applicant,  coming  within  the  rules  of  the  board,  was  turned  away 
empty-handed,  our  criticism  becomes  commendation.  This  increases  as  we 
examine  the  situation  more  minutely.  What  do  we  find?  1,031  candidates 
aided.  Some  $51,000,  all  told,  received  from  the  churches.  Of  course,  legacies, 
special  contributions  and  receipts  from  other  sources  have  increased  this 
amount,  else  such  a  large  work  could  not  possibly  have  been  done.  More  than 
a  full  regiment  of  God's  young  soldiers  have  been  helped  onward  a  whole  year 
toward  the  Christian  ministry  by  a  paltry  sum.  Compare  it  with  the  amount 
expended  by  our  Government  on  the  same  number  of  Annapolis  and  West 
Point  students,  and  it  seems  insignificant  indeed.  In  one  instance  it  is  no  more 
a  matter  of  charity  than  in  the  other.  Such  management  evidences  a  strict  and 
rigid  economy  in  the  performance  of  large  and  responsible  duties.  We  must  re- 
member that  this  board  does  more  than  merely  to  receive  and  pay  out  money. 
It  exercises  a  wise  and  kindly  oversight  over  one  thousand  men  distributed 
over  the  whole  country. 

Right  here,  we  would  commend  one  instance  of  liberality  because  of  its 
unique  features  and  as  an  encouragement  to  other  stewards  of  God*s  money. 
Mr.  John  S.  Newberry,  of  Detroit,  Mich.,  left  by  will  to  this  board,  a  scholar- 
ship yielding  about  I500  a  year.  The  seminaries  are  to  receive  its  advantages 
in  rotation.  The  best  student,  elected  by  competitive  examination,  enjoys  full 
leisure  for  study  and  a  post-graduate  course.  This  is  an  encouragement  to  high 
and  accurate  scholarship,  which  is  in  the  line  of  Presbyterian  history,  and  we 
need  more  such  encouragements.  Our  danger  is  not  in  the  line  of  over-educa- 
tion, although  we  stand  in  the  fore-front  in  this  matter,  but  from  the  letting 
down  of  a  high  standard  of  ministerial  qualifications.  By  means  of  such 
scholarships,  the  ranks  of  our  professors  may  be  from  time  to  time  recruited, 
and  our  most  exacting  churches  supplied.  Still,  we  recognize,  in  extraordinary 
cases,  the  importance  of  an  abbreviated  course  of  study  in  some  of  our  semi- 
naries at  least,  whereby  young  men,  who  are  not  able  to  take  a  full  college  and 
seminary  course,  may  still  have  the  privilege  of  presenting  the  Gospel  of  Jesus 
Christ  as  ordained  ministers,  evangelists  or  licentiates.  Many  fields  are  open, 
and  more  and  more  will  be  opened  to  such  workers  with  large  possibilities  of 
usefulness. 

This  brings  us  to  a  movement  of  g^eat  importance,  viz. :  that  of  the  prac- 
tical training  of  our  students.     We  notice  that  this  report  of  the  board  suggests 


38  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

that  the  time  may  be  near  at  hand  when  a  plan  might  be  adopted,  providing 
for  the  appointment  of  all  the  graduates  of  our  seminaries  to  at  least  one  year 
of  missionary  work  immediately  after  their  graduation.  This  post-graduate 
training  would  prepare  the  young  men  for  their  life  work  and  their  great 
responsibilities,  under  the  wise  oversight  of  the  respective  presbyteries.  Such 
a  plan  would  ensure  every  one  a  field  of  immediate  work,  and  teach  him  how 
to  endure  hardness  for  the  Master.  It,  of  course,  presents  difficulties,  and  in 
the  arrangement  of  its  details,  careful  and  wise  planning  and  preparation  are 
needed,  but  it  is  certainly  worthy  the  calm  consideration  of  this  Assembly. 

The  Treasurer's  books  have  been  examined  carefully,  and  the  following 
report  by  the  Chairman  of  the  sub-Committee,  Rev.  Dr.  Charles  J.  Young,  is 
presented  : 

Cash  from  Churches,  Sunday-Schools  and  C.  £.  Societies  .  $50,901  29 

Cash  from  Legacies 33i366  08

Total I97.979  97 

The  report  shows  that  the  entire  work  of  this  board  for  the  past  year  has 
been  accomplished  on  less  than  |ioo,ooo.  If  the  $150,000  voted  by  last  year's 
Assembly  had  been  raised  by  the  churches,  it  would  not  have  been  necessary  to 
cut  down  the  grants  to  our  students,  and  such  curtailment  should  not  have  been 
forced  upon  our  board.  The  large  nimiber  of  churches  which  gave  nothing  to 
this  important  cause,  are  largely  responsible  for  this  condition  of  afiGiirs.  If 
they  had  given,  on  an  average,  $s  each,  $100  could  have  been  granted  to  every 
candidate  for  the  ministry-,  without  an  increase  of  debt  When  we  consider 
that  the  young  men  who  go  to  our  seminaries  are,  in  many  instances,  denying 
themselves  most  heroically  for  the  Master  and  His  Church,  and  that  if  the  pit- 
tance granted  them  be  curtailed  even  a  little,  it  not  infrequently  causes  suffer- 
ing and  privation,  we  unhesitatingly  emphasize  the  plea  of  the  treasury  of  the 
board  for  larger  contributions. 

May  we  not  suggest  to  the  ministers,  many  of  whom  have  been  blest  in 
temporal  affairs,  that  a  contribution  to  the  ** Gratitude  Fund*'  of  this  board 
would  be  most  appropriate  and  acceptable  ?  If  any  are  not  able  to  give  some 
portion  of  their  income  as  an  expression  of  their  sense  of  obligation  to  the 
board  to  which  they  owe  so  much,  they  can  certainly  urge  upon  their  congre- 
gations larger  gifts  and  more  earnest  prayers.  While  ¥re  find  that  the  ntunber 
of  students  has  increased  largely,  the  funds  have  not  increased  in  anything 
like  the  same  proportion.  The  past  year,  however,  has  shown  an  advance  of 
9ome  $2,000  in  contributions  from  chiurhes  and  Sabbath-Schools  over  the  pre- 
vious year.  This  is  an  excellent  report  when  we  consider  the  financial  condi- 
tion under  which  all  the  boaRis  have  suffered  The  debt  of  this  board  is  only 
some  $3,500.  and  that  to  its  own  permanent  fund.  We  note  with  regret  that 
4,140  churches,  i.  e.  487  more  than  one-half  of  our  churches  [the  ^rnods  of 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD   OP  EDUCATION  39 

China  and  India  are  not  included]  did  not  give  anything  to  the  Board  of  Educa- 
tion during  the  year.  On  the  other  hand  there  is  an  encouragement  in  the  fact 
that  the  number  of  contributing  churches  has  risen  from  3,145  to  3,165 ;  an 
increase  of  20. 

Dear  brethren,  members  of  the  107th  Assembly  of  our  Church,  we  commend 
to  you  most  heartily  this,  the  strategic  board  of  the  list :  strategic,  because  if  it 
is  left  to  suffer  or  starve,  all  other  boards  must  suffer  or  starve  with  it.  Without 
educated  ministers,  the  Church  of  Christ  must  soon  cease  to  perform  its  mission, 
and  even  to  exist.  In  order  to  obtain  educated  ministers,  the  Church  must 
educate  them  as  the  Government  educates  its  soldiers  and  sailors. 

RRS01.UT10NS. 

Resolved^  ist.  That  the  minutes  of  the  board  for  the  year  be  approved, 
including  the  re-election  of  the  officers  of  last  year,  and  that  we  express  our 
appreciation  of  their  services,  and  especially  of  the  earnest  and  generous  work 
of  the  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D. 
He  has  proved  himself,  during  the  first  year  of  his  incumbency,  eminently 
fitted  for  the  responsible  trusts  committed  into  his  hands. 

2d.  That  we  commend  the  wise  curtailment  of  the  annual  grant  to  the 
students,  while  we  regret  its  necessity,  and  hope  that  it  will  never  occur  again. 

3d.  That  we  commend  the  proposed  fourth  year  for  practical  training  and 
experience  to  the  consideration  of  the  whole  Church,  and  recommend  that  the 
Board  of  Education  consult  with  the  respective  presbyteries,  the  synodical 
superintendents,  and  the  various  seminaries  of  our  Church,  and  submit  any  plan 
it  may  formulate  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly. 

4th.  That  we  commend  to  the  consideration  of  every  presbytery  of  our 
Church  the  growing  importance  and  requirements  of  this  board  ;  the  need  of 
donations  and  legacies  for  its  support,  and  the  necessity  that  every  church 
contribute  its  portion,  even  though  the  amount  be  very  small. 

5th.  That  yre  recommend  that  Ji5o,ooo  be  raised  the  current  year  to  meet 
the  demands  made  upon  the  board. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

Martin  D.  Kneeland,  Chainnan, 


The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  also  presented  an  answer  to  the 
Overture  referred  to  it  by  the  Assembly,  being  Overture  No.  138,  from  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Chicago,  on  the  subject  of  aid  to  candidates  from  the  foreign  field. 
The  answer  was  adopted  and  is  as  follows  : 

In  answer  to  an  overture  to  General  Assembly  as  to  the  aid  to  be  g^ven  by 
the  Board  of  Education  to  candidates  from  the  foreign  field,  who  have  come 
upon  their  own  responsibility  to  the  United  States,  and  have  entered  our  theo- 
logical and  academical  institutions  to  complete  their  education,  your  committee 
would  respectfully  report  that,  in  their  judgment,  no  action  is  necessary,  since 


40  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

the  whole  matter  was  adjudicated  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1885,  and  incor- 
porated into  the  rules  of  the  Board  of  Education.    The  action  reads  as  follows  : 

^^ Resolved y  that  the  board  will  not  henceforth  give  aid  to  any  student  from 
the  foreign  field  unless  he  has  been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries 
abroad,  or  has  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from 
this  board,  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church  authorities,  or 
missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  these  students  come." 

The  following  suggestions,  presented  by  Elder  E.  E.  White,  were  referred 
to  the  Board  of  Education  for  its  consideration,  with  the  direction  to  the  board 
that  it  report  next  year  to  the  General  Assembly. 

It  is  suggested  that  instead  of  aiding  students  preparing  for  the  Gospel 
ministry  by  gifts  of  money,  that  the  assistance  be  in  the  form  of  loans,  to  be 
paid  for  in  service  in  the  ministry  for  a  prescribed  number  of  years,  say  seven 
years,  and  that  when  this  service  is  faithfully  rendered,  the  said  loan  be 
promptly  cancelled  in  such  manner  as  the  board  may  devise  ;  this  compensa- 
tion not  taking  the  place  of  salaries  paid  by  the  churches  or  by  the  boards  of 
the  Church,  but  in  addition  thereto. 

The  following  members  of  the  board,  whose  term  of  service  expires  this 
year,  were  re-elected  for  the  term  of  three  years,  viz  :  Rev.  John  S.  Macintosh  1 
D.  D.,  Rev.  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.,  John 
W.  Patton,  Esq.,  Mr.  George  H.  Stuart,  Jr.,  Mr.  Rudolph  S.  Walton. 


Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATiES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
OF  THE  Church. 

1 .  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry 
of  the  Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbytery  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  witliin  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita- 
tion given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  tliat  Presbytery  to 
which  he  would  most  naturally  belong ;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbj-tery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  foUo^^ing 
questions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will 
invariably  be  required  by  tlie  Board  :  Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age  ? 
Residence?  Has  Presbytery  examined  him  on  the  following,  and  were  his 
answers  satisfactory  as  to  his  Piety  ?  I^Iotives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  Talents? 
Health  ?  Promise  of  practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive  and 
injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian 
Church?  Please  name  the  church.  WTiaf  is  his  stage  of  study?  If  in  Academy, 
give  name  and  class.  If  in  College,  give  name  and  class.  If  in  Seminarj',  give 
name  and  class.  If  in  an  Academy,  send  with  this  recommendation  a  statement 
of  the  circumstances  that  would  warrant  the  Board  in  considering  his  case 
extraordinary.  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  collegiate 
course  or  its  equivalent.  If  an  equivalent,  what  was  it?  If  the  candidate  is 
colored,  has  he  complied  with  Rule  VI.,  Sec.  i  and  Sec.  2?  Has  he  been 
recommended  to  Presbytery  by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  West- 
minster Shorter  Catechism  ?  Give  the  name  of  some  responsible  person  ( usually 
a  member  of  the  faculty  of  the  institution,  or  the  student's  pastor)  through 
whom  the  i^jayments  of  appropriations  may  be  made.  What  is  the  smallest 
amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to  the  end  of  this  fiscal 
year,  viz.,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  sent  herewith  ?  Does  he 
accept  the  requirements  they  contain  ?  At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbj'tery  of  .  .  . 
held  at  .    .    .on  the  .    .    .  day  of ...  18     ,  the  candidate   for  the   ministry

named  above,  having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the  points  indicated 
by  the  questions  above,  is  hereby,  by  order  of  the  Presbj^er}-,  recommended 
to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified.     Signed  by  .    .    . 
Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  3oard  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year  ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member  ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary^  cases. 

III. — SCH01.ARSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  J150 ;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  $100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points  :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economy  ? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  pajTnent  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
the  amount  given,  with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

•  7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Ptesb^-tery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
disf>ense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  afssistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
l)e  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
with  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on, or  continue  in, the  work  of  the 
ministry  ( unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented ) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  or  if  he  changes  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministr}%  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessarj'  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  43 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympamize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
piuTiue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the 
bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tena  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

5.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors'  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from 
the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presb3^er>',  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  .Board  to  com- 
municate without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbytery  ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no 
satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education 
within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3)  :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory' 
as  to  the  "  real  piety  "  of  the  students,  **  and  tlie  motives  which  have  influenced 
them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who 
request  them. 

V. — Particui^ar  DutiEvS  of  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  tlie  establishment  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately 
reminded  that  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the 
cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special 
attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Scriptures ; 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ; 


44  ANNUAX  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavors 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious 
and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presb)^ery,  or  of  the 
Board  ;  and  if, when  given,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  ^^ill  be  continued  ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  oe  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Eaucation  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Speciai,  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministr}' 
among  the  negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of 
thorough  trial  and  approval  both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three 
years--as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering 
college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full 
collegiate  course  w^ho  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable 
him  to  reach  a  grade  of  at  least  70,  out  of  a  possible  one  hundred,  in  sciences  and 
languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside 
from  his  ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should 
be  advised  to  pursue  a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology, 
Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great 
importance  of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of 
this  Board  reported  to  it  as  soon  as  possible  after  such  lapses  from  Christian 
character  shall  be  known. 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious 
fidelity,  the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of 
the  Board,  are  requested  to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information 
as  to  the  moral  and  Christian  character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise 
of  the  candidate  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions, 
and  as  it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  shall  ask  for  the  mini- 
mum sum  that  will  meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any 
named  sum  at  the  special  institution  will  sufiice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board 
shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special 
resolution  of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47) 
that  candidates  enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally 
belong, and  by  the  Assembly  of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87) 
it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate 
studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  s\Tnpathy  with  both  the  doctrines  and  polity 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the  care  of  the  Board  are 
ettjoiyted  to  remain  in  connection  with  their  proper  Presbj^eries,  and  to  attend 
in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the  care 
of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  with  our  Church.

ANNUAL   REPORT  OF   THE    BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 


47 


to  ibe  Cb&irmeo  of  EdaciLiioo  Commiiiees  of 
Presb)7ieries  &s  to  il;^  Hecomroeod&iioo  of 
CiLodH&ie;  to  ibe  ^okri  of  E^ac&iio?  for  M. 


Make  sure  before  any  other  action  is  taken,  that  the  candidate 
has  been  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  his  Church, 
as  this  is  the  fundamental  requirement. 

Always  use  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 
Never  put  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendations; 

never  put  first  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.     You  will  thus 
prevent  serious  confusion  at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

Write  the  recommendations  plainly  (n  ink  ;  never  use  pencil. 

Recommendations  and  renewals  should  be  made,  if  possible,  at 
the  Spring  Meetings  of  the  Presbyteries,  and  forwarded  immediately 
to  the  ofi&ce  of  the  Board. 

Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other 
than  is  required  by  the  answers.  Additional  notes  of  explanation 
which  may  seem  necessary  should  be  sent  in  an  accompanying  letter. 

Let  every  question  be  fully  answered  when  the  recommendation 
is  first  forwarded ;  otherwise  additional  correspondence  will  be 
necessary,  and  much  delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate  name 
the  class  and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction  for 
the  year  which  the  recominejidation  is  intended  to  cover ;  e.  g.,  if  the 
recommendation  is  made  out  in  the  Spring,  name  the  institution  and 
class  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter  in  the  fall. 

If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the 
care  of  the  Board,  comes  to  you  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us 
your  recommendation  in  the  form  of  a  renewal ;  and  give  us  the 
name  of  the  Presbytery  from  which  yon  receive  him. 

If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  prepara- 
tory  to  theology',   in  an   institution  which  sympathizes  with  the 


48  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require, 
except  in  extraordinary  cases],  send  us  the  assurance  that  he  has 
the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbyter>',  and  the  reason  for  the 
permission. 

If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  countr>',  the  assurance  must 
be  sent  .o  us  that  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  the  United 
States. 

In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Presby- 
ter>^  to  which  he  belongs.  This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up 
his  case. 

Do  not  mutilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them, 
properly  folded,  in  a  large  envelope.  This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and 
indexing. 

Take  no  action  without  careful  study  of  the  printed  rules  pre- 
scribed for  our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

Seventy-Seventh  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education  respectfully  reports  to  the  General 
Assembly  that  another  year  has  passed  without  any  change  occurring 
in  its  membership  either  by  death  or  resignation.  The  members 
whose  term  of  service  expires  at  this  time  are  the  following  : — Rev. 
Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Jas.  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Wm.  C. 
Rommel ;  and  Geo.  W.  Barr,  Andrew  Blair,  and  Rudolph  Schick, 
£sq.  At  the  annual  election  on  the  tenth  of  June  last  all  the  ofl&cers 
were  re-elected,  viz.  : — Rev.  Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  President;  Rev. 
Jas.  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  Vice-President;  Rev.  Edward  B.  Hodge, 
D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  ;  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D.,  Assist- 
ant to  the  Corresponding  Secretary ;  Jacob  Wilson,  Recording 
Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

NUMBER   OF   CANDIDATES 

The  total  number  of  candidates  enrolled  for  the  year  has  beeo 
1037,  an  increase  of  six  over  the  previous  year.  Of  these  248  were 
new  men,  and  789  were  men  who  had  received  aid  in  previous  years. 
Fifteen  men  were  dropped  from  the  roll  during  the  year  :  eight  on 
account  of  marrying  ;  two  on  account  of  deficiency  in  scholarship  ; 
three  on  account  of  unsatisfactory  deportment ;  two  on  account  of 
failing  health  ;  two  died  ;  and,  besides  these,  one  withdrew^  having 
abandoned  the  thought  of  studying  for  the  ministry. 

MEDICAI,  MISSIONARIES 

The  same  liberality  on  the  part  of  a  member  of  the  Board  which 
previously  enabled  a  student  of  the  San  Francisco  Theological  Seminary 
to  pursue  medical  studies  with  a  view  to  becoming  a  missionary  was 
instrumental  during  the  past  year  in  securing  for  him,  after  gradua- 
tion from  the  medical  college,  additional  instruction  and  experience 
in  New  York.  The  Board  has  no  scholarships  for  the  aid  of  students 
of  medicine,  and  it  does  not  recommend  that  candidates  under  its 
care  should  attempt  medical  work  unless  they  can  take  a  thorough 
course  with  a  view  to  devoting  themselves  to  that  branch  of  mission- 
ary eflfort.  In  view  of  the  importance  which  medical  missions  have 
assumed  of  late  years,  and  of  the  difficulty  of  procuring  satisfactory 
men  for  that  work,  it  may  be  that  the  best  plan  is  to  seek  suitable 

3 


4  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF    EDUCATION 

persons  among  the  candidates  for  the  ministry  who  have  been  under 
the  watch  and  care  of  the  Board  of  Education,  and  to  send  them,  at 
the  conclusion  of  their  college  studies,  for  a  full  course  of  instruc- 
tion at  a  medical  school.  To  provide  for  the  great  expense 
necessarily  involved  scholarships  might  be  endowed  in  connection 
with  approved  medical  colleges.  It  would  be  a  most  excellent 
investment  of  money. 

THE   NEWBERRY  SCHOLARSHIP 

This  scholarship,  which  yields  about  $500  per  annum,  was 
awarded  this  season,  after  a  careful  competitive  examination,  to  Mr. 
Horace  Day,  of  Plymouth,  Pa.,  son  of  a  Presbyterian  minister,  andf 
a  member  of  the  middle  class  in  Auburn  Theological  Seminary. 
Excellent  reports  have  come  to  the  Board  concerning  the  scholars 
who  have  had  the  benefit  of  this  endowment  in  past  years,  and  who 
were  chosen  in  succession  from  Lane  and  from  McCormick  Theologi- 
cal Seminaries. 

SCHOLARSHIPS   IN    GENERAL 

The  plan  adopted  by  the  Presbyterian  Church  of  granting 
scholarships  to  encourage  and  enable  her  candidates  for  the  ministr)- 
to  take  a  full  college  course  has  been  to  a  remarkable  degree  suc- 
cessful. It  is  a  system,  however,  which  needs  to  be  guarded  from 
abuses  with  the  utmost  care.  Otherwise  it  is  inevitable  that 
confidence  will  be  destroyed  and  the  gifts  of  the  people  of  God  will 
be  withheld.  The  rules  under  which  the  scholarships  of  the  Board 
of  Education  are  granted  act  largely  as  a  wholesome  restriction,  as 
well  as  an  encouragement ;  and  by  their  faithful  administration  there 
is  a  constant  tendency  to  eliminate  the  unfit  and  the  unpromising.  The 
united  eflforts  of  the  sessions,  the  presbyteries,  the  professors,  and 
the  Board,  are  concentrated  in  the  endeavor  to  confine  the  benefac- 
tions of  the  Church  to  the  truly  pious,  the  scholarly,  the  faithful, 
and  the  economical ;  provided  that  they  display  a  fair  degree  of 
rhetorical  ability,  and  give  other  satisfactory  evidence  of  being  called 
of  God  to  the  sacred  oflBce.  Inasmuch,  however,  as  the  theological 
seminaries  of  our  Church  possess  and  control  a  large  number  of 
scholarships,  it  is  highly  important  that  we  should  have  the  hearty 
co-operation  of  these  institutions  in  the  eJ0Fort  which  the  Church  is 
making  to  keep  the  system  of  scholarships  free  from  abuses  to  which 
from  its  very  nature  it  is  peculiarly  liable,  and  the  existence  of  which 
would  tend  to  its  destruction.     It  is  a  satisfaction  to  be  able  to  say 


ANNUAI,   REPORT   OF  THE    BOARD  OF   EDUCATION  5 

that  the  seminaries  have  shown  a  certain  measure  of  zeal  on  this 
subject,  and  in  the  case  of  at  least  one  seminary  the  rules  of  the 
Board  of  Education  have  been  formally  adopted.  The  **  terms  and 
conditions* '  under  which  the  scholarships  of  Lane  Seminary  are  used 
contain  the  following  requirement : — **  In  the  distribution  of  these 
funds  the  faculty  are  still  further  bound  to  apply  the  same  tests  that 
are  applied  by  the  Board  of  Education  of  the  Presbyterian  Church.'* 
At  the  same  time  it  would  greatl}'  improve  the  whole  situation  if 
more  systematic  measures  could  be  generally  adopted,  and  a  policy 
inaugurated  by  which  a  fair  degree  of  unity  of  action  could  be 
obtained,  and  the  object  be  more  certainly  secured  for  which  the 
rules  of  the  Board  of  Education  were  adopted.  One  of  the  seminaries 
has  a  special  committee  which  is  considering  the  whole  question  of 
scholarships  as  controlled  by  that  institution,  and  we  cannot  but  hope 
that,  as  a  result  of  its  study,  some  important  modifications  of  present 
methods  may  be  secured,  and  valuable  suggestions  made  which  may 
so  commend  themselves  as  to  be  generally  followed. 

A  FOURTH  YEAR  FOR  PRACTICAL  TRAINING 

In  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  last  General  Assembly 
the  outline  of  a  plan  has  been  carefully  formulated,  designed  to  pro- 
vide for  the  employment  of  all  graduates  of  our  theological  semina- 
ries for  at  least  a  year  in  some  mission  field  of  the  Church.  This 
outline  has  been  sent  to  the  presbyteries,  the  synodical  superintend- 
ents, the  seminaries,  and  the  Board  of  Home  Missions  for  careful 
study,  and  for  such  suggestions  as  they  may  be  disposed  to  make 
with  regard  to  it.  As  the  committees  to  whom  the  presbyteries  are 
asked  to  refer  this  paper  cannot  be  expected  to  make  their  report 
before  the  fall,  the  Board  can  do  no  more  at  present  than  report 
progress  in  the  duty  assigned  to  it,  and  explain  in  a  few  words  the 
important  objects  which  are  contemplated  in  the  plan.  They  are  : 
A.  To  make  systematic  provision  for  the  prompt  employment  of  the 
whole  number  of  graduates  from  the  seminaries  every  year.  At 
present  they  are  almost  entirely  left  to  themselves,  and  are  tempted 
to  spend  too  large  a  part  of  the  last  year  seeking  opportunities  of 
settlement.  B.  To  provide  for  the  whole  body  of  candidates  a  year 
of  practical  training,  and  a  test  of  their  efficiency,  a  true  period  of 
probation  according  to  the  intention  of  our  Form  of  Government. 
C.  To  make  an  honest  effort  to  supply,  in  part,  the  destitutions  now 
existing  in  our  mission  fields.     D.  To  do  something  for  the  relief  of 


6  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 

the  pressure  upon  vacant  congregations  which  are  self-supporting, 
now  often  overrun  with  applications  from  men  seeking  settlement. 
E.  To  do  something  for  the  removal  of  objections  often  seriously 
urged  against  the  further  recruiting  of  the  ministry,  aud  for  the 
relief  of  the  discouragement  produced  in  the  minds  of  the  best 
friends  of  ministerial  education  by  the  present  waste  of  material 
already  in  the  possession  of  the  Church,  and  by  the  utter  lack  of 
system  and  authority  in  the  disposition  and  use  of  the  forces  put  at 
its  disposal  at  the  outlay  of  the  greatest  labor,  pains  and  expense. 
So  long  as  the  impression  is  produced  that  there  are  already  more 
ministers  in  our  connection  than  can  be  set  to  work  it  can 
hardly  be  expected  that  the  zeal  for  raising  up  a  large  number  of 
additional  candidates  will  be  very  great. 

THE  GOSPEL  FOR  THE  EXCEPTIONAL  POPULATION 

The  number  included  is  very  many  thousands,  and  they  need, 
in  a  large  proportion  of  cases,  ministers  specially  trained  for  service 
among  them.  We  are  happy  in  having  such  excellent  institutions 
as  Biddle  University  and  Lincoln  University  for  the  raising  up  of 
suitable  preachers  for  the  colored  people.  We  have  for  the  Germans 
two  training  schools,  one  at  Dubuque,  Iowa,  and  one  at  Bloomfield, 
N.  J.  On  the  other  hand,  although  many  thousands  of  Italians  and 
other  foreigners  of  strange  languages  have  come,  and  are  still 
coming  to  our  country,  and  show  themselves  most  ready  to  receive 
the  Gospel,  our  Church  has  made  no  provision  for  training  a  minis- 
try to  meet  the  emergency.  A  few  Italian  students  were  received  at 
the  German  School  at  Bloomfield,  as  well  as  a  few  Bohemians,  but 
the  exigencies  of  the  German  work  seemed  to  compel  the  directors 
to  give  up  the  attempt  to  provide  for  them.  It  may  not  be  needful 
or  wise  to  establish  new  schools  for  candidates  who  must  be  taught 
in  a  foreign  tongue,  but  Italian,  Bohemian,  and  Scandinavian  depart- 
ments might  be  established  in  connection  with  existing  institutions, 
and  thus  provision  be  made  for  work  which  is  of  the  utmost  import- 
ance, and  which  is  demanding  immediate  attention. 

The  candidates  who  are  preparing  to  labor  among  the  Spanish- 
speaking  people  are  receiving  their  education  in  the  College  of  the 
Southwest.  This  institution  is  doing  a  large  work,  and  the  Board 
has  twenty-one  students  there  under  its  care.  The  conditions  under 
which  the  work  is  carried  forward  are  so  different  from  those  exist- 
ing in  other  institutions  that  the  Presbyter}'  of  Pueblo  has  made  a 


ANNUAI,   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD   OF  EDUCATION  7 

special  request  that  the  rules  which  the  General  Assembly  has  made 
for  the  direction  of  the  Board  be  modified  somewhat  in  their  appli- 
cation to  the  Spanish  candidates.  These  rules  require  the  Board  at 
once  to  drop  from  the  roll  any  student  who  marries  while  under  its 
care.  It  is  represented  to  us,  however^  that  the  customs  and  opin- 
ions of  the  Mexican  people  are  so  strongly  in  favor  of  early  mar- 
riages that  they  cannot  be  speedily  changed  ;  that  the  unmarried 
students  at  Del  Norte  generally  board  themselves,  and  have  neither 
as  good  food  nor  as  comfortable  rooms  as  the  married  men,  and  they 
do  not  do  better  work  ;  that  the  gathering  of  families  around  the 
college  has  formed  a  Mexican- Protestant  community  which  enjoys 
the  benefit  of  the  College,  the  Church,  and  the  Sabbath-school ;  that 
by  the  marriages  of  the  students  several  young  women  have  been 
brought  under  the  most  helpful  influences  who  would  have  other- 
wise been  left  with  Roman  Catholic  surroundings,  and  they  have 
even  availed  themselves  at  times  of  the  instruction  afforded  by  the 
College.  As  a  result  of  a  careful  study  of  the  peculiarities  of  the 
situation,  as  thus  set  forth,  the  Board  resolved  to  join  with  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Pueblo  in  advising  a  modification  of  the  rules  with  respect 
to  the  subject  of  marrying,  so  far  as  the  Mexican  students  are  con- 
cerned, with  the  following  limitations  and  restrictions,  i.  A  stu- 
dent who  marries  during  the  college  year  shall  receive  no  further  aid 
during  that  year.  2.  A  student  who  marries  before  he  reaches  the 
age  of  twenty-one  years  shall  be  dropped,  at  least  until  he  reaches 
that  age. 

VISITS  TO   INSTITUTIONS 

An  important  and  interesting  part  of  the  duties  of  the  Corres- 
ponding Secretary  is  the  paying  of  visits  to  the  candidates  in  school, 
college,  and  theological  seminary.  He  has  visited  in  all  since  enter- 
ing upon  his  oflBce  twenty-three  such  institutions,  and  has  enjoyed 
many  opportunities  of  conferring  with  the  teachers,  preaching  to  the 
students,  delivering  addresses,  and  holding  personal  and  individual 
interviews  with  hundreds  of  young  men.  Visits  have  been  paid 
during  the  past  year  to  the  school  at  Lawrenceville,  N.  J.,  to  Blair 
Hall,  Blairstown,  N.  J.,  to  Wooster  University,  and  to  Lane  Semi- 
nary. At  Lane,  by  the  invitation  of  Professor  Morris,  a  course  of 
four  lectures  was  given  by  the  secretary  which  were  occupied  with  a 
consideration  of  the  very  interesting  history  of  ^  the  Board,  its  prin- 
ciples, and  its  achievements,  and  also  of  the  objections  which  are 


8  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF    EDUCATION 

sometimes  brought  against  its  methods  and  operations.  There  is 
good  reason  to  think  that  the  gpraduates  will  go  out  to  their  work 
with  a  more  intelligent  interest  in  its  affairs,  a  truer  sense  of  its  fun- 
damental importance,  and  a  greater  readiness  to  labor  for  its  success. 

THE   CHURCH   PAPERS 

Articles  with  regard  to  the  Board  have  been  published  each 
month  in  the  Church  at  Home  and  Abroad,  and  in  the  Assembly 
Herald.  By  the  courtesy  of  the  editors  of  the  Herald  a  copy  of  that 
paper  has  been  sent,  free  of  expense,  to  each  candidate  on  the  roll 
of  the  Board  ;fand  the  Secretary  has  made  use  of  the  opportunity  to 
send  each  month  such  messages  to  our  young  men  on  practical  sub- 
jects as  seemed  likely  to  be  of  assistance.  In  accordance  with  the 
direction  of  the  General  Assembly  the  Board  paid  to  the  Managers 
of  the //<?ra/flf  $166.67  ^s  its  share  of  the  expense  of  sending  the 
paper  to  all  pastors,  superintendents,  and  elders,  who  do  not 
subscribe  for  it  themselves.  It  also  paid  to  the  Committee  charged 
with  the  publication  of  the  Church  at  Home  and  AbrocuL  $386.82  as 
its  share  of  the  deficiency  experienced  in  the  publication  of  the 
magazine,  and  to  pay  for  the  cost  of  advertising  the  receipts. 

The  Board  appreciates  highly  the  importance  of  these  publica- 
tions, and  would  regard  it  as  nothing  less  than  a  calamity  to  be 
compelled  to  dispense  with  the  aid  which  they  afford  in  the  dissemi- 
nation of  intelligence  and  in  the  quickening  of  interest  in  the 
benevolent  work  of  the  Church.  At  the  same  time  it  feels  great 
hesitation  in  consenting  to  the  appropriation  of  so  large  a  share  of 
the  small  income  put  at  its  disposal  in  providing  for  their  main- 
tenance and  enlarged  circulation,  and  respectfully  asks  the  General 
Assembly  to  provide,  if  possible,  for  these  objects  by  some  other 
means,  or  from  some  other  fund. 

FINANCIAL   CONDITION 

The  year  began  with  the  debt  to  the  Board's  Permanent  Fund, 
carried  over  from  the  previous  year,  reduced  to  $3,539.33.  The 
treasurer  of  the  Reunion  Anniversary  Fund  has  paid  to  our  treasurer 
$1,840.83,  by  which  this  old  debt  was  still  further  reduced  to 
$1,698,50.  A  careful  estimate  of  the  probable  income  of  the  year  to 
come  was  made  at  the  June  meeting  of  the  Board,  which  difiieredfrom 
the  actual  income  by  less  than  two  thousand  dollars.  It  was  found, 
however,  that  this  available  income  would  only  provide  for  the  men 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF    EDUCATION  9 

already  on  our  roll  less  the  number  just  graduated  from  the 
theological  seminaries,  leaving  nothing  for  any  new  candidates.  It 
would  have  been  nothing  short  of  disastrous  if  the  Board  had  refused 
to  heed  any  of  the  311  earnest  pleas  made  by  the  presbyteries  in  behalf 
of  new  candidates  whom  they  had  accepted  and  recommended  to  it 
for  scholarships.  It  determined  therefore  to  draw  still  further  upon 
its  permanent  fund,  a  portion  of  which  had  been  kept  uninvested  for 
emergencies,  and  oflFered  to  accept  one  hundred  additional  men. 
Later,  in  view  of  the  embarrassment  and  distress  with  which  many 
promising  young  men  were  threatened  who  had  entered  upon  their 
studies  in  the  full  confidence  that  the  recommendation  of  their  Pres- 
byteries assured  them  of  a  scholarship,  and  of  the  keen  disappoint- 
ment felt  by  the  presbyteries  to  whic^i  the  young  men  belonged, 
whose  cases  were  in  suspense,  a  total  number  6f  248  new  candidates 
were  accepted,  being  67  less  than  the  year  before.  The  state  of 
things  was  made  known  throughout  the  Church,  and  a  more 
extensive  distribution  of  leaflets  advertising  the  work  of  the  Board 
has  been  effected  than  ever  before,  as  we  believe.  Nevertheless, 
probably  on  account  of  the  general  financial  distress,  the  income 
from  Churches  and  Young  People's  Societies  proved  to  be  $3,304.20 
less  than  during  the  previous  year  ;  and  although  there  has  been  an 
increase  in  the  amount  received  from  miscellaneous  sources  and  on 
account  of  money  refunded,  it  became  necessary  to  borrow  $10,000 
from  bank,  which  is  still  owing,  in  addition  to  a  total  of  $7,600  due 
to  the  Permanent  Fund. 

Particular  attention  is  called  to  that  item  in  the  Treasurer's 
Report  which  is  designated  *' Moneys  Refunded.**  Every  year 
something  like  two  thousand  dollars  comes  into  the  treasurer's  hands 
from  former  beneficiaries  who  have  found  themselves  able  to  pay 
back  what  they  received  into  the  fund  which  enabled  them  to  get 
their  education.  During  the  year  at  least  two  of  our  foreign  mis- 
sionaries have  made  returns  of  this  character,  expressing  the  earnest 
hope  that  the  money  may  now  be  used  over  again  for  the  education 
of  fresh  ambassadors  of  the  gospel  of  peace.  Another,  who  received 
in  all  from  the  Board  less  than  $700  has  closed  his  account  after 
repaying  $1,235,  thus  making  generous  provision  for  interest  accrued. 

In  conclusion  the  Board  must  call  the  attention  of  the  General 
Assembly  anew  to  the  embarrassing  situation  in  which  it  is  placed  by 
the  fact  that  the  presbyteries  are  recommending  men  in  greatly  increased 
numbers  while  the  contributions  from  the  churches  are  actually  less  than

ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 


they  were  ten  or  eleven  years  ago  when  the  number  of  candidates  was  but 
six  hundred  and  nineteen.  The  number  of  churches  which  made  a 
contribution  to  the  Board  during  the  year  is  3202,  as  compared 
with  3165  during  the  year  before.  When  the  happy  time  arrives 
when  the  good  example  set  by  four  of  the  presbyteries  recently  in 
securing  a  contribution  from  every  church  for  every  board  a  solution 
of  present  difi&culties  and  embarrassments  may  be  found.  The 
success  achieved  in  these  instances  is  an  indication  that  similar 
methods  faithfully  pursued  would  produce  similar  results  throughout 
the  Church,  and  the  Board  with  great  earnestness  presses  upon  the 
Assembly  a  careful  consideration  of  the  matter  as  of  vital  importance 
to  the  successful  carr>4ng  forward  of  all  her  benevolent  work 
All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

By  order  of  the  Board, 

Edward  B.  Hodge, 

Corresponding  Secretary,

ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF    EDUCATION 


APPENDIX. 


ACTION    OK    THE    GENERAL    ASSEIvIBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  consisted  of  the  fol- 
lowing named  persons  : 


Ministers, 

EEV.  LAPSLEY  A.  McAFEK, 
REV.  E.  B.  THOMSON,  D.  D. 
REV.  GEO.  D.  LINDSAY, 
REV.  CAMPBELL  COYLE,

REV.  THORNTON  A  MILLS,  Ph.D. 
REV.  ROBERT  L.  WHEELER, 
REV.  JOHN  W.  BISCHOFF, 
REV.  WILBUR  F.  WOOD. 


Elders, 

HON.  ROBT.  N.  WILLSON, 
MR.  JOHN  H.  FINLEY. 
MR.  IRA  OTTERSON, 
MR.  DAVID  W.  HARE, 
MR.  JAMES  McILHINNEV, 
MR.  GEORGE  BOWMAN, 
MR.  CHAS.  L.  HUBBARD, 
MR.  A.  B.  T.  MOORE, 
MR.  J.  W.  JAMIESON, 
MR.  MILES  RORABACHER. 


The  Committee  presented  their  report  on  Monday,  May  25th, 
1896,  through  their  Chairman,  Rev.  Lapsley  A.  McAfee,  which  was 
accepted.  The  Assembly  was  then  addressed  by  Rev.  Edward  B. 
Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary,  and  others. 

The  report  was  unanimously  adopted,  and  is  as  follows  : 
The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  respectfully  report  that 
we  have  had  before  us  the  records  of  the  Board,  the  Treasurer's 
report,  and  the  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  Board.  We  have 
held  several  meetings,  during  which  our  discussions  have  been 
\'aried  and  extended.  We  have  examined  the  books  of  the  Board, 
and  have  found  them  to  be  carefully  and  neatly  kept.  Their  pages 
show  how  great  has  been  the  work  accomplished,  and  how  faithfully 
the  duties  have  been  performed.  Beyond  any  doubt,  this  Board 
deserves  the  hearty  commendation  of  our  Church.  The  work  it  is 
doing  is  much  needed,  and  its  operations  are  ^nde-spread.  Of  the 
twenty-nine  synods  in  the  United  States,  twenty-eight  have  asked 
for  and  received  help  in  educating  candidates.  Only  one  of  the 
synods  presented  but  one  applicant.  The  remainder  drew  money  in 
amounts  var>ung  from  Si 80  to  $15,643.  Aid  has  been  appropriated 
to  1037  candidates,  248  being  new  men.  The  whole  number  is  but 
six  greater  than  that  reported  a  year  ago,  but  yet  67  fewer  new  men 
were  taken  this  year  than  last.  In  handling  the  great  number  of 
applications  from  ever\*  section  of  the  countn*,  the  Board  has  used 
precaution  and  care.     Many  were  declined  for  lack  of  money,  and 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE    BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  39 

Others  were  cut  off  because  they  did  not  fulfill  the  requirements. 
The  Board  has  four  adjectives  which  constitute  a  measure  for  the 
young  men.  They  need  repeating  and  emphasizing,  and  we  approve 
the  Board's  way  of  urging  them  as  necessary.  They  are  requiring 
that  the  candidates  receiving  aid  shall  be  pious,  scholarly,  faith- 
ful and  ECONOMICAL.  By  all  means  in  its  power,  the  Board  is 
limiting  the  number  helped  to  those  described  by  the  words  pious, 
scholarly,  faithful  and  economical.  If  others  are  aided  the  fault  is 
with  the  presbyteries.  Attention  is  given  to  reclaiming  money  from 
those  who  have  been  helped,  and  have  abandoned  the  work  of  prep- 
aration ;  also  from  those  who  have  left  our  church  in  early  years  of 
ministerial  life.  We  note  also  that  some  of  our  ministers  who  were 
beneficiaries  of  the  Board  of  Education  are  now  refunding  the  money 
granted  them,  carefully  adding  interest  at  liberal  rates.  If  our 
Church  is  not  regaining  its  money  from  those  who  have  turned  aside 
from  the  ministry,  it  is  because  the  presbyteries  are  not  giving  the 
Board  the  help  which  they  alone  can  give. 

One  seminary  has  taken  a  wise  step  in  making  its  rules  for 
giving  scholarship  aid  conform  to  those  of  the  Board.  Uniformity  is 
thus  gained,  and  increased  care  in  distributing  sacred  moneys.  We 
commend  this  example  to  all  of  our  seminaries. 

Bohemian,  Italian,  Scandinavian,  and  others  of  our  **  excep- 
tional populations,"  are  needing  trained  teachers,  and  the  Board 
is  wise  in  considering  ways  for  helping  to  provide  for  this  great 
need.  No  wonder  that  with  the  vast  work  committed  to  it,  and 
the  indifference  shown  by  many  hundreds  of  our  churches,  a 
deficit  is  reported.  The  presbyteries  have  increased  their  appeals 
for  help,  and  have  decreased  their  contributions.  Only  six  men 
beyond  the  number  of  last  year  have  been  helped,  and  yet  the 
debt  is  nearly  $17,000.  For  the  Board  to  have  taken  up  no  new 
work  would  have  been  nothing  short  of  a  calamity.  The  plead- 
ings from  candidates,  colleges,  seminaries  and  presbyteries  forced 
the  granting  of  a  part  of  the  larger  number  of  applications. 
Brethren,  we  have  now  too  few  ministers.  Many  vacant  pulpits  cr>' 
for  help  and  new  work  must  be  done.  Three  things  are  before  us  ; 
one  of  them  we  must  choose.  We  may  have  still  few-er  ministers ; 
we  may  have  an  uneducated  ministry  ;  or  we  must  attend  to  the 
needs  of  the  Board  of  Education.  The  Board  of  Education  is  the 
pioneer,  and  the  assistant  needed  by  every  one  of  the  Missionary 
Boards  of  the  Church.  To  press  forward  the  work  given  us  by  our 
God  we  must  have  ministers.     Shall  we  force  the  uneducated  into 


40  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

leadership  ?  The  presbyteries  must  give  immediate  attention  to  this 
question.  We  hope  that  the  expense  now  incurred  in  meeting  the 
yearly  deficit  in  the  Church's  monthly  magazine  will  soon  be 
removed,  and  w^e  shall  rejoice  to  see  the  time  when  self-support  will 
be  attained  by  it  as  well  as  by  the  monthly  paper. 

The  fourth  year  training  course  is  being  further  studied  by  the 
Board,  and  the  progress  is  reported. 

The  question  of  scholarship  is  one  of  importance.  The  General 
Assembly  is  urged  to  note  carefully  what  is  said  concerning  the  use- 
fulness of  those  already  existing.  There  is  room  and  a  call  for  others. 
That  the  fitting  of  medical  missionaries  for  their  great  work  is 
important,  our  Church  knows  full  well.  The  Board  and  the  entire 
Church  may  well  consider  the  subject  in  the  hope  that  a  practicable 
plan  may  be  speedily  found  and  operated  for  assisting  men  in  getting 
a  medical  education. 

Little  can  be  done  toward  correcting  any  wrongs  unless  the 
presbyteries  can  be  stirred  up  to  see  their  duty.  Each  should  require 
of  its  Committee  on  Education  work  along  two  lines.  The  candidates 
should  be  carefully  watched  and  well  known.  The  worthy  should  be 
commended  and  assured  that  the  Church  delights  to  help  them.  The 
unworthy  should  be  admonished  and  remodeled  or  declined.  The 
Committees  should  see  to  it  that  the  churches  are  told  of  the  need, 
assured  of  the  correctness  of  the  Board's  management,  and  urged  to 
give  freely  for  the  support  of  this  work.  We  have  thus  called 
attention  to  the  following  points  : 

I  St.  The  Board  is  exercising  great  care  in  accepting  and 
declining  candidates. 

2d.  The  increase  in  numbers  aided  is  small,  while  the  call  for 
help  has  been  great. 

3d.  The  presbyteries,  while  increasing  their  applications, 
have  decreased  their  contributions. 

4th.  The  exceptional  populations  are  calling  for  help  which 
cannot  be  given  unless  the  Board  is  empowered  and  enabled  to 
educate  men  in  the  various  languages. 

5th.  Scholarships  for  aiding  candidates  for  the  ministry  and 
for  medical  missionary  work  are  greatly  needed. 

6th.  Uniformity  in  granting  of  scholarship  aid  in  seminaries 
and  by  the  Board  is  a  matter  requiring  consideration. 

7th.  Progress  in  developing  a  plan  for  extending  the  theological 
course  to  a  fourth  year  of  practical  training  is  noted. 


ANNUAI<  REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  4 1 

8th.  The  refunding  of  money  is  approved  and  urged  upon  the 
attention  of  all  presbyteries. 

9th.  The  presbyteries  attention  is  called  to  the  need  of  greater 
care  on  the  part  of  their  Committees  on  Education. 

We  now  recommend  that  the  following  action  be  taken  : — 

ist.  That  the  Rev.  Geo.  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  and  the  Rev.  Jas. 
M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  with  elders  Geo.  W.  Barr  and  Andrew  Blair, 
whose  terms  of  office  as  members  of  the  Board  now  expire,  be 
re-elected,  and  that  the  Rev.  W.  H.  Miller,  D.  D.,  of  Bryn  Mawr, 
Pa.,  and  elder  J.  Bayard  Henry,  Esq.,  of  Germantown,  Philadelphia, 
be  elected  to  succeed  the  Rev.  Wm.  C.  Rommel,  and  elder  Rudolph 
Schick,  Esq. ,  these  two  having  declined  re-election. 

2nd.  That  the  Board  of  Education  be  heartily  commended  for 
the 'good  work  done  during  the  past  year,  and  for  its  economy  6f 
administration. 

3rd.  That  the  Board  be  authorized  to  make  exceptions  among 
Spanish  students,  granting  aid  to  such  as  marry  during  their  course 
when  in  the  judgment  of  the  Board  and  the  Presbytery's  committee 
on  Education,  it  seems  wise. 

4th.  That  the  attention  of  presbyteries  be  called  to  the  fact  that 
the  Committees  on  Education  have  duties  beyond  giving  reports ; 
that  the  presbyteries  require  of  such  Committees  that  they  watch 
carefully  and  know  well  the  candidates  recommended  for  aid,  also 
that  they  urge  upon  the  churches  that,  as  far  as  possible,  the  contri- 
butions to  the  Board  equal,  or  exceed  the  amounts  drawn  from  the 
treasury. 

5th.  That  the  Assembly,  recognizing  with  approbation  the 
faithful  efforts  of  the  Board  to  live  within  its  income,  and  the  exigen- 
cies that  compelled  the  making  of  a  debt,  urges  redoubled  effort  in 
the  coming  year  that  it  be  not  increased,  and  calls  upon  the  Church 
for  such  enlarged  contributions  that  it  may  be  wiped  out,  and  the 
work  correspondingly  enlarged. 

6th.  That  professors  in  schools  where  there  are  aid-receiving 
candidates  be  urged  to  greater  watchfulness ;  that,  in  making  their 
reports,  they  carefully  assist  the  Board  to  exclude  all  men  who  are 
unfit  for  the  gospel  ministry,  whether  the  lack  of  fitness  be  along 
scholarly  lines,  or  moral,  or  any  other. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted. 

LAPSLEy  A.  McAfee,  Chairman. 


Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
OF  THE  Church. 

1 .  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry 
of  the  Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbytery  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

•  3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita> 
tion  given  from  this  Board  upon  tlie  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbytery  to 
which  he  would  most  naturally  belong ;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presb^-tery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following 
questions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  will 
invariably  be  required  by  the  Board  :  Give  name  of  candidate  in  ftilL  Age  ? 
Residence  ?  Has  Presbyter^'  { or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  be- 
tween the  meetings  of  Presbytery )  examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and 
were  his  answers  satisfactory; — Piety?  Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry? 
Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  Practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive 
and  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbjrterian 
church?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.  If  in  an  academy,  give  name  of 
academy  and  class.  If  in  College,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  College  and 
class.  If  in  Seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  Seminary  and  class.  If 
in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  collegiate  course  ?  If  so,  give 
the  name  of  the  College  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.  If  not  a  college  graduate, 
has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course?  If  so,  send  a  detailed  statement 
of  his  previous  studies  and  career.  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  ? 
What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to 
the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz. ,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  ?  Does 
he  accept  the  requirements  contained  in  them  ?  If  the  candidate  is  colored,  has 
he  complied  with  Rules  i  and  2,  Section  VI  ?    At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of 

.   .   .  (or  of  the  Education  Committee)  held  at  .   .   .on  the  ....  day  of 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  43 

189  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  been  sat- 
isfactorily examined  as  to  the  points  indicated  by  the  foregoing  questions,  was 
recommended  to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified. 
Signed  by  .    .    .  Chairman  Educational  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member  ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  $150;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  tlie  amount  shall  not  exceed  J 100. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economv  ? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
the  amount  g^ven,  with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accora  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Ptesbytery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolongeci  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  boara  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
with  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on, or  continue  in, the  work  of  the 
ministry  (unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  or  if  he  changes  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbyter)',  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  ynth  these  rules  and  regularlv  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  tlie  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


44  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    EDUCATION 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  recjuired,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  S3mipaUiize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the 
besto\vment  of  the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tend  to  qualify  them  for  effective  uaeftilness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

J.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors*  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from 
tlie  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  tlie  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbjrtery  at  the  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  com- 
municate without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbyter^' ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no 
satisfactory'  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Eaucation 
i^-ithin  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbj-tery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  acccndiiig  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3) :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presbvtery,  and  be  entirely  satis&ctory 
as  to  the  '  *  real  piety  *  *  of  the  students,  *  *  and  t&e  nootives  which  have  inflnenoed 
them  to  desire  tlie  sacred  office/*  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities^ 

S.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  caie  who 
request  them. 

V. — Particular  Dities  of  Cvxdidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  estabUshment  of  tlie 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  &ithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  eamesthr  and  afiectkxiatidT 
reminded   that  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  Vmlae  widioiit   the 


culti\*ation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  paj  jq?fr««i 
attention  to  tht  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  rendiiig  the  Sciiulmes : 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  ^lecial  conaecxatioo  ot  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  I/xd  of  all ; 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF    EDUCATION  45 

• 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavorj 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious 
and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  Ms-ill  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the 
Board  ;  and  if, when  ^ven,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued  ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  vnth  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Eaucation  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI. — Special  Rules  for  Colored  Candidates. 

1.  The  Board  will  take  none  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the  ministry 
among  the  negroes  during  the  preparatory  course  unless  after  a  season  of 
thorough  trial  and  approval  both  as  to  piety  and  ability,  through  two  or  three 
years — as  reported  by  their  teachers. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  be  aided  more  than  two  years  before  entering 
college. 

3.  It  is  not  regarded  as  advisable  for  any  colored  student  to  pursue  a  full 
collegiate  course  who  does  not  evince  an  aptitude  for  study  that  will  enable 
him  to  reach  a  grade  of  at  least  70,  out  of  a  possible  one  hundred,  in  sciences  and 
languages. 

4.  In  case  a  colored  student  evinces  peculiar  gifts  for  the  ministry,  aside 
from  his  ability  to  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  sciences  or  languages,  he  should 
be  advised  to  pursue  a  wholly  English  course  in  History,  Exegesis,  Theology, 
Moral  Science,  etc. 

5.  The  attention  of  the  Presbyteries  and  Instructors  is  called  to  the  great 
importance  of  having  immoralities  on  the  part  of  students  under  the  care  of 
this  Board  reported  to  it  as  soon  as  possible  after  such  lapses  from  Christian 
character  shall  be  known . 

6.  In  order  to  discharge  the  trust  imposed  upon  the  Board  with  conscientious 
fidelity,  the  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  who  commend  students  to  the  care  of 
the  Board,  are  requested  to  furnish  the  Board  with  full  and  minute  information 
as  to  the  moral  and  Christian  character,  and  the  real  mental  ability  and  promise 
of  the  candidate  so  commended. 

7.  As  there  is  a  difference  of  expense  in  attendance  at  different  institutions, 
and  as  it  is  one  of  the  rules  of  the  Board  that  students  sliall  ask  for  the  mini- 
mum sum  that  will  meet  their  needs,  therefore  when  the  Board  knows  that  any 
named  sum  at  the  special  institution  will  suffice,  the  allowance  from  the  Board 
shall  not  exceed  that  amount. 

8.  As  it  is  enjoined  in  the  Rules  and  urged  upon  the  Board,  by  a  special 
resolution  of  the  Assembly,  of  1878,  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  47) 
that  candidates  enter  and  remain  in  the  Presbytery  to  which  they  naturally 
belong,  and  by  the  Assembly  of  1884  (see  Minutes  of  General  Assembly,  p.  87) 
it  is  enjoined  that  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  pursue  their  collegiate 
studies  in  institutions  that  are  in  sympathy  \vith  both  the  doctrines  and  polity 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  the  colored  students  under  the  care  of  the  Board  are 
enjoined  to  remain  in  connection  \vith  their  proper  Presbj-teries,  and  to  attend 
in  both  their  preparatory  and  Collegiate  courses,  schools,  either  under  the  care 
of  the  Freedmen's  Board,  or  taught  by  teachers  in  connection  \vith  our  Church.

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDDCATION 


li 


HINTS  to  the  Chairmen  of  Education  Committees  of  Presby- 
teries  as  to  the  Recommendation  of  Candidates  to  tte 
Board  of  Education  for  Aid. 


AKE  SURE  before  any  other  action  is  taken,  that  the  candidate 
been  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  his  Church,  as  thia 
is  the  fundamental  requirement. 

Always  use  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 

Never  put  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendation ; 
put  first  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.    You  will  thus  prevent 
confusion  at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

Write  the  recommendations  plainly  in  ink  ;  never  use  pencil. 

Recommendations  and  renewals  should  be  made,  if  possible,  at 
Spring  Meetings  of  the  Presbjrteries,  and  forwarded  immediately  to  the  office 
of  the  Board. 

Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other  than  Is 
required  by  the  answers.    Additional  notes  of  explanation  which  may 
necessary  should  be  sent  in  an  accompanying  letter. 

Let  every  question  be  fully  answered  when  the  recommendation  is 
forwarded ;  otherwise  additional  correspondence  will  be  necessary,  and 
delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate,  name  the 
and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction  for  the  year  wkick  ik€ 
recommendation  is  intended  to  cover ;  e.  g.,  if  the  recommendation  is  made  oiBt 
in  the  Spring,  name  the  institution  and  the  class  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter 
in  the  fall. 

If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the  careof  fhe 
Board,  comes  to  you  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us  your  recommendatiott 
in  the  form  of  a  renewal ;  and  give  us  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  from  whidi 
you  receive  him. 

If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  prepantofy  to 
theology,  in  an  institution  which  sympathizes  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require,  except  in  extraordinary  cases], 
send  us  the  assurance  that  he  has  the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbytery,  and 
the  reason  for  the  permission. 

If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  country,  the  assurance  must  be  sent  to 
us  that  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  the  United  States. 

In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Presbjrtexy  to 
which  he  belongs.    This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up  his  case. 

Do  not  multilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them,  properly 
folded,  in  a  large  envelope.     This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and  indexing. 

Take  no  action  without  careful  study  of  the  printed  rules  prescribed  for 
our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

Seventy-Eighth  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education  respectfully  reports  to  the  General 
Assembly  that  it  has,  according  to  the  wishes  expressed  by  the  last 
Assembly,  passed  through  the  year  without  increasing  its  indebted- 
ness. It  has  received  a  total  of  $2,255.59  from  the  treasurer  of  the 
**  Reunion  Anniversary  Fund."  This  amount,  together  with 
$5,198.66  from  current  income,  has  been  applied  towards  the  reduc- 
tion of  the  amount  due  to  the  Permanent  Fund  of  the  Board.  The 
total  indebtedness  is  therefore  now  $9,220.75  as  compared  with 
$16,675.00,  the  amount  of  debt  at  the  time  of  the  last  annual  report. 
The  Board,  in  making  its  annual  estimates  in  June  last,  held  that  it 
was  its  first  duty  to  make  provision  for  keeping  its  Permanent  Fund 
intact,  and  next  to  care,  as  well  as  its  probable  income  would  allow, 
for  the  candidates  already  upon  its  roll  and  for  whom  renewed 
recommendations  might  be  expected  from  the  presbyteries.  The 
possibility  of  being  able  to  accept  any  new  men  appeared  so  small 
that  notice  was  given  to  the  chairmen  of  Education  Committees 
throughout  the  Church  that  no  promise  could  be  made  with  regard 
to  the  matter  at  that  time.  Measures  were  promptly  taken,  however, 
to  make  the  state  of  the  treasury  known  to  all  our  congregations  with 
the  hope  that  an  increased  number  might  this  year  make  a  contribu- 
tion, and  so  provision  be  made  for  at  least  a  limited  number  of  new 
candidates.  As  there  is  often  a  delay  in  the  sending  in  of  recom- 
mendations the  Board  postponed  action  until  early  in  November  in 
order  that  a  full  opportunity  might  be  given  for  the  reception  of  all 
new  applications.  All  that  were  in  hand  at  that  time,  and  that  were 
in  order  for  action,  were  accepted  for  a  very  small  amount  of  aid  to 
be  paid  in  January. 

The  treasurer's  report  shows  that,  while  the  total  amount 
received  from  Churches,  Sabbath-schools,  and  Young  People's 
Societies,  is  $2,930  less  than  in  1895-96,  there  is  an  increase  0/222  in 
the  number  of  contribtitiiig  churches.  The  increase  reported  last  year 
was  37,  and  20  in  the  previous  year.  It  will  be  seen  that  in  this  very 
important  particular  the  year  just  completed  has  been  one  of  unusual 
blessing.

4  ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD    OP  EDUCATION 

MEMBERSHIP  AND  OFFICERS. 

The  Board  reports  with  deep  regret  a  vacancy  in  its  member- 
ship caused  by  the  resignation  of  John  W.  Patton,  Esq. ,  due  to  the 
state  of  his  private  affairs,  which  seems  to  make  it  impossible  for 
him  to  be  present  at  its  deliberations. 

The  members  whose  term  of  service  expires  at  this  time  are  the 
following: — Sam'l  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  Chas.  Wads  worth,  Jr., 
D.  D.,  Robert  Hunter,  D.  D.,  Chas.  H.  Matthews,  Esq.,  Geo.  Peirce, 
Esq.,  and  Geo.  W.  Bailey,  M.  D. 

At  the  annual  election,  on  the  eighth  of  June  last,  Geo.  D. 
Baker,  D.  D.,  was  chosen  President,  Jas.  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  Vice- 
President ;  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary,  and 
Jacob  Wilson,  Recording  Secretary  and  Treasurer.  The  health  of 
the  Rev.  Dr.  Poor  remains  very  feeble  ;  but  his  interest  in  the  affairs 
of  the  Board  is  still  keen,  and  the  honorary  title  of  Assistant  to  the 
Corresponding  Secretary  is  continued  to  him. 

CANDIDATES. 

The  total  number  of  candidates  recommended  by  the  Presby- 
teries during  the  year  was  964,  of  whom  the  Board  accepted  911, 
Of  these  744  were  renewals,  and  167  new  men.  Forty-two  of  the 
new  men  were  provided  for  by  friends  who  made  special  contributions 
for  their  benefit.  Eighteen  accepted  scholarships  to  which  the  donors 
had  attached  the  condition  that  the  candidate  should  undertake  to 
devote  at  least  a  year  to  missionary  labors  at  the  conclusion  of  his 
studies. 

Six  candidates  were  dropped  from  the  roll  on  account  of  having 
married  while  under  the  care  of  the  Board.  One  has  been  dropped 
for  unsatisfactory  behavior.  Three  have  withdrawn  in  order  to 
devote  themselves  to  preparation  for  some  other  calling ;  and  they 
will  of  course  be  expected  to  refund,  as  soon  as  they  are  able,  what- 
ever they  have  received  from  the  treasury  of  the  Board. 

Our  Newberry  scholar  finishes  his  course  of  studies  at  Auburn 
Seminary  this  spring,  and  has  offered  his  services  to  the  Board  of 
Foreign  Missions.  It  is  understood  that  this  offer  is  particularly 
welcome  to  that  Board  at  this  particular  time.  There  are  portions  of 
the  field  where  it  is  of  the  utmost  importance,  in  the  judgment  of  the 
secretaries,  that  a  man  of  scholarly  ability,  and  who  has  had  the 
advantage  of  special  training,  should  be  sent  at  the  earliest  moment 
to  meet  the  exigencies  which  have  arisen  under  modem  conditions. 


ANNUAL,  REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD    OF  EDUCATION  5 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  Board,  therefore,  to  encourage  Mr.  Horace 
Day,  the  present  incumbent  of  the  scholarship,  to  devote  a  consider- 
able length  of  time  to  such  special  studies  as  the  joint  judgment  of 
the  Foreign  Secretaries,  the  Auburn  Faculty,  and  the  Board  of 
Education,  may  decide  to  be  most  appropriate.  It  is  regarded  as 
more  important  to  make  thorough  preparation  than  to  be  in  haste  to 
send  a  man  to  meet  an  exigency  however  pressing.  Work  kept 
waiting  for  trained  hands  will  then  be  better  done  in  the  end. 
While  the  present  incumbent  is  thus  zealously  preparing  himself 
for  toil  at  the  front  on  the  foreign  field,  Mr.  Harry  N.  Wilson, 
his  immediate  predecessor  in  the  enjoyment  of  the  scholarship, 
is  rendering  distinguished  service  on  a  home  mission  field  in 
Colorado,  where  the  influence  he  exerts  in  the  community  is 
a  constant  demonstration  of  the  advantage  to  be  derived  from 
complete  training  and  high  scholarship  when  humbly  devoted 
to  the  service  of  Christ.  Mr.  Richard  F.  Souter  has  the  honor  of 
being  the  first  on  the  list  of  the  Newberry  scholars,  and,  by  his  suc- 
cess in  his  studies  and  in  his  subsequent  labors  in  the  ministry, 
setting  a  worthy  example  for  others  to  follow. 

This  most  helpful  scholarship  was  founded  by  Mr.  John  S.  New- 
berry of  Detroit.  It  yields  about  $500  per  annum,  and  is  awarded 
for  a  term  of  three  years  to  the  man  who  stands  the  best  examina- 
tion among  three  nominated  by  the  faculty  of  the  seminary  which 
for  the  time  being  enjoys  the  privilege  of  furnishing  the  scholar. 
We  are  constantly  hoping  that  the  friends  of  advanced  learjiing  ^  who  are 
interested  in  seairitigfor  the  Church  the  best  results  in  the  training  of 
her  candidates,  may  be  encouraged  by  the  reports  which  we  are  able  to 
give  of  the  beneficent  influence  of  the  bequest  of  Mr,  Newberry  to  imi- 
tate 'his  example  by  the  founding  of  similar  scholarships.  We  are 
quite  sure  that  no  scholarships  could  be  very  well  awarded  with  more 
care,  and  no  scholar^  could  be  watched  over  with  more  constant 
and  wise  solicitude,  or  with  better  prospect  of  the  largest  returns 
for  the  same,  than  the  scholarships  and  the  scholars  thus  entrusted  to 
the  Board  of  Education. 

A   FOURTH  YEAR  OF  PRACTICAL  TRAINING. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1895  commended  the  proposed  fourth 
year  for  practical  training  and  experience  to  the  consideration  of  the 
whole  Church,  and  recommended  that  the  Board  consult  with  the 
respective  presb5rteries,  the  synodical  superintendents,  and  the  theolog- 
ical seminaries  of  the  Church,  and  submit  any  plan  it  might  formulate 


6  ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

to  the  next  General  Assembly.  In  1896  it  was  not  possible  to  do 
more  than  report  progress.  Meanwhile  the  consultation  was  dili- 
gently prosecuted  by  correspondence  and  by  many  personal  inter- 
views. A  Trial  Plan  was  sent  out ;  not,  of  course,  for  acceptance  or 
adoption,  but  for  the  purpose  of  eliciting  the  opinions  and  sugges- 
tions of  the  persons  whom  the  Board  was  directed  to  consult.  A 
considerable  amount  of  interest  has  been  manifested  in  the  subject, 
particularly  on  the  part  of  the  synodical  superintendents,  most  of 
whom  seem  to  be  w^armly  in  sympathy  with  the  general  object  in 
view.  A  considerable  number  of  presbyteries  have  sent  reports  to 
the  Board  ;  some  expressing  cordial,  and  even  unanimous,  approval ; 
some  oflFering  objections,  criticisms  and  suggestions. 

Five  of  the  theological  seminaries  have  made  replies  in  writing. 
One  prefers  to  express  no  opinion  ofl&cially.  Three  indicate  that 
such  a  plan  would  be  entirely  acceptable.  One  offers  decided  objec- 
tions to  the  details  of  the  Trial  Plan  submitted  for  suggestions. 

The  result  of  the  general  consultation  may  be  summed  up  as 
follows  : 

A.  There  is  a  general  conairrence  of  opinion  that  a  decided  step 
in  advance  would  be  made  if,  as  a  general  rule,  all  of  the  Church's 
probationers,  after  completing  their  studies,  should  spend  at  least  a  year 
in  practical  work  under  proper  supervision.  **  Home  Missions,"  says 
one  of  our  correspondents,  **  would  be  a  fine  addition  to  the  theolo- 
gical seminary."  **  The  managing  of  a  Home  Mission  Circuit  is  a 
splendid  school  for  the  development  of  preaching  gifts." 

B.  There  is  a  decided  feeling  in  favor  of  making  whatever  plan 
muy  be  adopted  applicable  to  all  of  the  Church' s  probatiofurs  in  general 
without  any  discrimination :  a  feeling  with  which  the  Board  is  in 
hearty  accord. 

C.  TJure  is  a  desire  that  even  the  appearance  of  discrimination 
against  aid-receiving  churclics  should  be  avoided.  Of  course  none  was 
ever  intended.  The  idea  was  to  give  to  weak,  and  often  dying, 
organizations  the  advantage  of  the  services  of  young,  ardent,  wide- 
awake, hopeful  young  men.  The  advantage  intended  was  to  be 
mutually  for  the  young  men  and  for  the  churches  to  which  they 
might  be  sent. 

D.  An  unwillingness  has  been  expressed  by  some  of  our  cor- 
respondents that  any  compulsory  feature  should  be  introduced  into  the 
plan.  This  unwillingness  is  based  partly  on  the  conviction  that 
service  unwillingly  rendered  would  be  of  questionable  value,  and 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE   BOARD  OP  EDUCATION  7 

partly  from  a  general  feeling  of  opposition  to  any  unnecessary 
restraint  of  liberty. 

The  Board  has  been  largely  governed  by  these  views  in  the  plan 
which  it  now  proposes  for  adoption.  It  has  been  further  influenced 
by  the  fact  that  our  Book  of  Church  Government  is  very  moderate 
in  what  it  makes  a  matter  of  imperative  obligation,  contenting  itself 
with  recommendations  as  to  most  of  the  things  which  the  general 
judgment  of  the  Church  has  found  desirable.  Thus  it  is  made  obliga- 
tory that  a  candidate  for  the  ministry  shall  have  satisfactory  testi- 
monial? as  to  character,  and  that  he  be  able  to  satisfy  presbytery 
that  he  is  proficient  in  the  necessary  branches  of  learning,  and  has 
ability  to  expound  and  enforce  the  doctrines  of  the  gospel ;  but  with 
regard  to  such  matters  as  a  full  college  course,  and  the  length  of 
time  to  be  devoted  to  the  study  of  divinity,  it  contents  itself  with 
recommendations.  It  is  interesting  and  important  to  observe  that 
these  recommendations  have  come  to  have  the  force  of  positive 
requirements ;  and  the  reason  is  that  they  express  the  general 
judgment  of  the  Church  on  these  subjects. 

We  can  safely  and  successfully  go  as  far  as  the  common  senti- 
ment of  the  Church  approves  ;  but  no  further.  The  result  of  our 
inquiry  seems  to  be  that  the  common  sentiment  is  favorable*  to  the 
idea  of  employing  probationers  for  the  ministry  in  missionary  labors 
at  the  commencement  at  least  of  their  career,  but  not  favorable  to 
the  idea  of  adopting  any  plan  which  would  make  such  employment 
a  matter  of  imperative  obligation. 

In  order  to  carry  these  views  into  effect  the  Board  recommends 
to  the  General  Assembly  for  adoption  the  following 

PLAN   POR  THE  ENCOURAGEMENT  OP  A  MISSIONARY  SPIRIT 

IN   CANDIDATES. 

I.  The  Board  op  Education  is  hereby  directed  to  use  its 
influence  to  incline  the  candidates  under  its  care,  at  the  conclusion 
of  their  studies  in  preparation  for  the  holy  ministry,  to  offer  their 
services,  under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  for  missionary  labor  for 
a  longer  or  shorter  period  of  time  as  the  providence  of  God  may 
indicate. 

And  further,  in  order  effectively  to  bring  this  influence  to  bear 
upon  its  candidates,  the  Board  is  hereby  authorized  to  add  the 
following  to  its  rules  relating  to  candidates  por  the  ministry. 

'*III.  Scholarships. — lo.  While  the  Church,  in  providing 
scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes  no  specific  conditions  as  to 


ft  ANNtJAX  kEt>ORT  OF  THE    SOArD  OF  EDUCAtlOK 

the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministry  which  they  will  be 
expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological  training, 
nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  they  shall 
labor,  nevertheless  her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  mis- 
sionary spirit  as  Christlike ^  apostolic^  and  timely  ;  and  that  it  would  be 
highly  becoming  in  theni,  under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  to  offer 
their  services,  at  the  conclusion  of  their  education,  for  work  in  mis- 
sionary fields,  ever  remembering  the  abounding  destitution  in  our 
own  country,  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands ;  the  peculiar  fitness  of 
young  men  for  such  work  ;  the  honor,  privilege,  and  advantage  per- 
taining to  it ;  the  natural  expectations  of  the  Church  which  has 
trained  them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hardqess  as  good 
soldiers  ;  and,  above  all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended 
Lord:' 

II.  It  is  hereby  made  the  duty  of  the  Board,  through  its  Cor- 
responding Secretary,  by  correspondence  with  the  candidates,  the 
Education  and  the  Mission  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  Sjmodical 
Superintendents,  and  the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  and  the 
Mission  Committees  of  Synods,  to  bring  about,  to  as  large  a  degree  as 
possible,  the  employing  of  the  probationers  of  the  Church  in  mis- 
sionary labor  at  the  conclusion  of  their  studies. 

III.  Each  Thkological  Seminary  is  hereby  requested  to 
co-operate  in  this  plan  by  so  ordering  the  course  of  instruction,  and 
the  general  life  of  the  seminary,  as  to  put  increased  emphasis,  if 
possible,  upon  the  dignity,  privilege,  and  pre-eminent  importance, 
in  this  crisis  of  the  world's  history,  of  missionary  labor  ;  and  to  use  its 
influence  to  incline  the  young  men  whom  it  has  under  its  care,  without 
distinction,  to  a  willingness  to  consecrate  the  strength  and  zeal  of 
their  early  manhood  to  a  task  so  appropriate  to  men  in  their  situation, 
and  so  rich  with  promise  of  large  results. 

IV.  The  Presbyteries  are  hereby  requested  to  co-operate  by 
making  themselves  acquainted,  through  the  Board  of  Education  and 
the  authorities  of  the  theological  seminaries,  or  otherwise,  with  the 
number  and  qualifications  of  the  candidates  who  are  prepared  to 
offer  themselves  for  missionary  service,  and,  as  far  as  possible,  to 
employ  them  promptly  upon  the  conclusion  of  their  studies ;  that 
thus  efficient  measures  may  be  taken  to  supply  some  at  least  of  our 
destitute  mission  fields,  and  to  make  use  without  delay  of  the  men 
whom  the  Church  is  at  so  much  pains  to  educate. 


ANNtJAt  &EJ»ORT  O^  THE   BOARD  Ol^  EDUCATION  g 

SUGGESTIONS  OP  ELDER  E.    E.    WHITE. 

These  suggestions  were  presented  to  the  General  Assembly  of 
1895,  a^d  were  referred  to  the  Board  of  Education  for  its  cx)nsidera- 
tion  with  direction  to  report  to  the  next  Assembly.  They  were 
printed  and  sent  out  through  the  Church  with  the  action  taken  by  the 
Assembly  as  to  the  proposed  fourth  year  of  practical  training  with 
requests  for  opinions  and  criticisms.  The  delay  in  getting  responses 
was  such  that  only  progress  could  be  reported  in  1896,  as  already 
stated.  The  suggestions  of  Elder  White  were  to  the  effect  that  the 
assistance  to  students  should  be  in  the  form  of  loans  ;  said  loans  to 
be  paid  off  by  service  in  the  ministry  for  a  prescribed  number  of 
years.  The  Board  does  not  find  in  the  responses  received  any  indi- 
cation of  a  prevalent  sentiment  of  approval  of  a  plan  of  this  nature; 
but  indeed  to  the  contrary.  It  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  feeling 
should  rather  be  encouraged  in  the  minds  of  our  candidates  that  the 
pectmiary  assistance  and  the  educational  privileges,  so  largely  and  so 
freely  bestowed,  should  remain  upon  the  mind  and  conscience  as  a 
stimulus  to  the  most  devoted  service  to  the  very  end  of  their  career  ; 
and  that  none  of  our  ministers  have  reason  to  labor  under  a  sense  of 
unpaid  obligation  so  long  as  they  are  devoting  their  time  and  their 
strength  to  the  service  of  the  Church  which  trained  them,  and  while 
they  continue  to  teach  the  people  over  whom  God  has  placed  them 
to  love  and  foster  th6  cause  of  ministerial  education. 

MEDICAI.  MISSIONARY  WORK. 

The  attention  of  the  General  Assembly  is  asked  again  this  year 
to  the  importance  of  making  some  provision  for  the  proper  training 
of  those  who  may  be  approved  as  suitable  candidates  for  liiedical 
missionary  work.  A  number  of  the  candidates  under  the  care  of 
the  Board  have  during  the  year  expressed  the  wish  to  turn  their 
attention  to  such  a  course  of  training  ;  and  the  Board  is  repeatedly 
asked  whether  it  can  continue  to  assist  those  of  its  candidates  who, 
at  the  completion  of  their  college  studies,  enter  upon  a  course  of 
medicine  instead  of  theology.  The  reply  has  always  been  given  that 
the  Constitution  of  the  Board  limits  its  work  to  assisting  **  in  the 
proper  education  of  candidate?  for  the  ministry."  And  yet  the  work 
of  the  medical  missionary  is  so  closely  allied  with  that  of  the  ordained 
ministry  of  the  gospel,  and  the  necessity  for  high  scholarship,  tested 
character,  and  full  preparation,  so  manifest,  that  it  would  seem  to  be 
quite  proper  to  commit  to  the  same  Board  the  responsibility  for  the 
proper  education  of  both  classes  of  candidates. 


10  ANNUAI,  REPORT  OP  THB   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 

* 

All  that  it  has  been  able  to  do  thus  far  has  been  to  gather  mfor- 
mation  as  to  the  places  where  at  the  most  moderate  cost  a  good  medi- 
cal training  can  be  secured.  The  total  cost  per  annum  seems  to 
average  about  $450,  and  the  time  required  is  now,  in  a  number 
of  the  best  colleges,  four  years.  This  is  a  matter  in  which  the 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions  has  a  common  interest  with  the 
Board  of  Education,  and  the  recommendation  is  respectfully  made 
that  the  General  Assembly  give  directions  that  the  two  Boards 
confer  upon  the  whole  subject,  and  report  to  the  next  General 
Assembly  what  steps,  if  any,  may  be  wisely  taken  for  the  securing 
of  scholarships,  the  holding  of  funds  contributed,  the  nomination  of 
suitable  persons  to  enjoy  the  benefit  of  the  same,  and  the  terms  and 
conditions  under  which  grants  should  be  made.  The  matter  is  of 
grave  importance  and  requires  the  exercise  of  the  greatest  prudence 
and  care. 

ITALIAN  CANDIDATES. 

Probably  no  foreigners  among  us  are  shewing  greater  readiness 
to  gi\*e  a  ready  greeting  to  those  who  bring  to  them  the  message  of 
the  gospel  than  the  Italians.  The  children  rapidly  learn  the  English 
language  ;  but,  for  a  time  at  least,  ministers  of  their  own  race  and 
language  must  be  employed  for  the  religious  instruction  of  the 
adults.  The  Board  ga\*e  assistance  for  a  while  to  several  Italian  can- 
didates who  were  pursuing  their  studies  at  the  German  Theological 
School  at  Bloomfield.  N.  J.  That  school  has  felt  itself  compelled, 
however,  of  late  to  confine  its  attention  to  German  candidates,  and  no 
little  difficulty  has  been  experienced  in  finding  suitable  places  in 
which  the  education  of  these  young  men  could  be  carried  to  comple- 
tion. Two  of  them  are  now  in  the  theological  seminary  at  Prince- 
ton making  what  progress  they  can  under  scxnewhat  difficult  coodi- 
lions.  Another  studied  at  Mount  Hermon,  Mass.^  until  his  health 
failed  under  the  strain  of  overwork.  He  found  refuge  in  the  house 
of  the  chainoin  of  the  Committee  on  Italian  Work  in  the  Presby- 
tery of  Lehigh,  where  he  has  spent  some  months  in  private  study 
and  in  zealous  efforts  for  the  spiritual  good  of  his  countr3miicn.  All 
of  these  men  hive  l^en  during  the  year  under  the  watdh  and  care  of 
the  Board.  The  need  for  very  much  enlarged  efforts  in  behalf  of 
the  ItalLins  and  other  K>reigiiers  who  have  come  to  America  in  grat 
nnmN^rs  is  izxrreasiiigly  appxirent.  and  the  want  of  suitable  agents 
well-in^trocted  and  trostworthy  is  embarrassiig.  The  Board  dies

the  want ;  but  it  desires  to  keep  the  subject  prominently  before  the 
mind  of  the  Church,  and  continues  ever  ready  to  be  helpful  in  so 
important  a  matter  according  to  its  ability. 

CARE  IN   RECOMMENDING   CANDIDATES. 

The  Board  has  endeavored  to  make  effective  the  admonition 
given  by  the  General  Assembly  of  1896  to  presbyteries  to  exercise 
all  due  care  and  watchfulness  in  the  recommending  of  candidates. 
A  letter  was  sent  to  the  chairman  of  each  Education  Committee 
asking  that  he  would  with  increased  zeal  make  himself  personally 
acquainted  with  every  applicant  for  a  scholarship,  and  use  his  influ- 
ence to  confine  recommendations  to  wisely-selected  and  promising 
men ;  and,  in  cases  of  renewal,  learn  with  accuracy  the  records  of  the 
men  for  the  year  just  ended  in  order  that,  if  there  were  on  the  roll 
any  unsatisfactory  names,  they  might  be  promptly  eliminated.  The 
attention  of  the  teachers  in  the  various  institutions  where  the  candi- 
dates are  pursuing  their  studies  was  called  to  the  request  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly  that  they  would  kindly  continue  to  assist  the  Board, 
with  even  increased  care,  by  their  frequent  reports  as  to  scholarship 
and  conduct,  to  detect  any  unworthy  candidates  who  might  have 
been  unwarily  admitted  to  the  roll. 

It  is  a  great  pleasure  to  bear  witness  to  the  constant  courtesy 
and  painstaking  care  with  which  these  teachers  perform  the  delicate 
and  responsible  duty  which  devolves  lapon  them  ;  and  to  bear  further 
witness  to  the  generally  good  reports  which  are  received  with  regard 
to  the  candidates  themselves.  The  cases  are  rare  indeed  in  which 
unfavorable  information  is  received  concerning  any  of  them. 

The  Corresponding  Secretary  has  taken  pains  to  visit  a  number 
of  the  institutions  during  the  year  and  has  given  individual  inter- 
views to  a  large  number  of  students,  gaining  most  favorable  impres- 
sions from  the  promise  of  usefulness  very  generally  given.  The 
visit  to  Lincoln  University  was  of  peculiar  interest  from  the  fact  that 
it  transpired  at  the  time  of  the  Missionary  Conference  which  was 
prolonged  for  a  week,  and  marked,  it  is  hoped,  an  epoch  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  institution.  The  object  of  the  conference  was  partly  to 
stimulate  that  missionary  spirit  which  so  properly  belongs  to  the 
present  age,  and  which  was  a  fundamental  motive  in  the  minds  of  the 
founders,  and  partly  to  give  assistance  to  the  selecting  of  two  of  the 
graduates  to  whom  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions  now  propose  to 
entrust  a  mission  in  Africa. 


t±  ANNtJAl,  HEPORt  OP  tHE    feOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

The  acknowledgments  of  the  Board  are  due  to  the  editor  of  the 
Assembly  Herald  for  his  courtesy  in  sending  free  of  charge  a  suflficient 
number  of  copies  of  that  paper  each  month  to  supply  all  of  its  can- 
didates  at  the  several  institutions  where  they  are  studying.  This 
has  enabled  the  Corresponding  Secretary  to  continue  his  practice  of 
addressing  each  month  a  letter  to  the  candidates  upon  topics  of  prac- 
tical value,  such  as  '*  Student  Piety,'*  "  Shall  I  attend  the  Theatre?'* 
**  The  Manners  of  a  Clergyman,"  **  Decorum  in  the  Pulpit,"  and 
the  like.  Similar  acknowledgments  are  due  for  the  saving  of 
expense  by  the  free  publication  of  the  receipts  of  the  Board  in  the 
same  paper. 

An  effort  was  made  to  have  the  cause  of  the  Board  satisfactorily 
presented  before  each  of  the  synods,  and  the  Corresponding  Secretary 
personally  visited  the  Synods  of  New  Jersey,  Indiana,  and  Wisconsin. 
Similar  efforts  have  been  made  to  bring  the  work  entrusted  to  us 
before  the  several  presbyteries,  and  individual  churches,  as  the  oppor- 
tunity has  been  given. 

The  year  thus  reviewed  has  been  one  of  no  little  anxiety,  and 
the  utmost  prudence  has  been  required,  together  with  the  exercise  of 
the  nicest  judgment,  in  order  to  meet  all  the  exigencies  of  a  period  of 
unusual  financial  distress  and  uncertainty,  and  to  come  to  the  close 
of  the  year  with  the  treasury  in  a  sound  and  healthy  condition.  If 
the  Board  has  had  a  fair  degree  of  success  in  this  difficult  task  it  has 
only  secured  it  by  calling  upon  the  candidates  recommended  by  the 
presbyteries  to  submit  to  such  considerable  reductions  in  the  amount 
of  the  scholarship- aid  allowed  as  must  have  cost  no  small  embarrass- 
ment to  many.  All  seem,  however,  to  have  appreciated  the  difficul- 
ties of  the  situation,  and  the  correspondence,  while  revealing  too 
plainly  the  distress  experienced,  has  been  free  from  any  word  of 
complaint  in  any  quarter.  The  inadequacy  of  the  means  at  the 
disposal  of  the  Board  for  the  satisfactory  management  of  the  large 
and  fundamentally  important  work  with  which  it  has  been  entrusted 
becomes  constantly  more  manifest.  It  is  a  continual  cause  of  wonder, 
and  an  occasion  of  praise  to  God,  that  such  great  and  beneficent 
results  have,  by  his  rich  blessing  attending,  been  secured  at  so  small 
an  outlay.  The  Board  invokes  the  attention  of  the  whole  Church  to 
the  scrupulous  care  with  which  its  work  is  conducted,  the  success 
which  has  attended  its  operations,  and  the  pressing  need  of  an 
increased  revenue  in  consequence  of  the  growth  in  the  number  of 
candidates  recommended  and  the  amazing  opportunities  afforded  for

the  preaching  of  the  gospel  to  all  peoples  of  all  tongues  :  opportuni- 
ties caused  both  by  the  influx  of  foreigners  to  our  own  land  and 
by  the  free  access  now  afforded  to  tlfe  feet  of  the  messengers  of  Christ, 
whom  we  have  the  privilege  of  training,  to  almost  every  country  under 
heaven.  It  seems  to  be  imperative  that  a  great  forward  movement 
must  soon  be  undertaken,  and  the  Board  of  Education  rejoices  in  the 
prospect  of  being  permitted  to  have  an  important  part  in  a  work 
which  is  to  issue  in  the  redemption  of  the  world  for  Christ. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submittted.     By  order  of  the  Board  ^

ANNUAL  REPORT  OF   THE    BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  43 


APPKNDIX. 


ACTION     OK    THE    GENERAL    ASSEIVIBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  the  Assembly  on  Education  con- 
sisted of  the  following  named  persons  : 

Ministers.  Elders, 

S.  W.  Dana,  D.  D.  Wii.liam  N.  Barringer, 

DoNAi^D  McLaren,  D.  D.  Thomas  S.  Ci.ark, 

D.  S.  Gregory,  D.  D.  Oscar  E.  Boyd, 

RoBT.  Alexander,  D.  D.  C.  E.  Brown, 

J.  Mills  Gelston,  S.  A.  Bi.air, 

Francis  L.  Ferguson,  D.  D.  T.  A.  Rinehart, 

L.  E.  Richards,  Simon  Smith, 

ai.pheus  h.  holi*oway,  frank  e.  sickles, 

John  G.  Blue,  William  Paul, 

William  E.  Bryce.  Joseph  W.  Marshall. 
Stanley  D.  Jewell. 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  presented  its  report, 
which  was  accepted,  and,  after  an  address  by  Rev.  E.  B.  Hodge,  D.  D. , 
Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  was  adopted,  and  is  as 
follows : — 

Your  Committee  would  report  that  the  year  just  closed  is  one  of 
hopefulness  in  connection  with  the  Board  of  Education.  In  accord- 
ance with  the  expressed  wishes  of  the  last  General  Assembly  the 
Board  closes  the  year  without  additional  indebtedness.  This  has 
necessitated  a  reduction  in  the  appropriation  to  the  students. 

The  number  of  men  aided  is  911,  167  of  these  being  new 
applicants. 

The  Treasurer's  report  has  been  submitted  to  your  Committee 
and  appears  to  be  carefully  audited,  and  we  find  that  the  Minutes  of 
the  Board  have  been  accurately  kept.  The  Treasurer's  report  shows 
that,  while  the  churches  and  their  various  societies  have  given  $2,930 
less  than  during  the  previous  year,  there  has  been  an  increa.se  of  222 
in  the  number  of  contributing  churches. 

It  is  not  necessary  in  this  presence  to  emphasize  the  importance 
of  a  well-educated,  thoroughly  consecrated,  ministry.  The  Presby- 
terian Church  has  been  conspicuous  for  the  intellectual  power  of  its 
pulpit.     It  has  been  the  friend  of  the  school,  the  college  and  the 


44  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD   OF   EDUCATION 

theological  seminary.  It  cannot  afford  to  lower  its  standard  to-day " 
when  the  general  education  of  the  people  has  increased,  and  when 
the  demand  upon  the  pulpit  was  never  so  great  and  exacting. 
Pastors,  Sessions,  Presbyteries  and  our  Theological  Professors  are 
urged  to  see  that  picked  men  are  thoroughly  educated  for  this  work 
so  responsible,  so  vital.  Your  Committee  would  call  the  attention  of 
the  Assembly  again  to  the  Newberry  Scholarship  which  yields  about 
$500.00  per  annum,  and  is  awarded  for  the  term  of  three  years  to  the 
man  who  stands  the  best  examination  among  the  three  nominated  by 
the  faculty  of  that  Seminary,  which  for  the  time  being  enjoys  the 
privilege  of  furnishing  the  scholar.  It  is  hoped  that  others  will  be 
prompted  to  found  similar  scholarships  which  may  prove  equally 
beneficial,  stimulating  a  high  grade  of  scholarship.  The  last  New- 
berry scholar  has  offered  his  services  to  the  Board  of  Foreign  Missions. 

Inasmuch  as  so  many  people  from  foreign  lands  are  being 
grouped  in  different  parts  of  our  country,  the  adults  of  whom  do  not 
understand  English,  your  Board  is  wisely  aiming  to  assist  men  into 
the  ministry  who  shall  be  able  to  preach  Christ  to  these  people  in 
their  own  languages. 

Your  Committee  would  renew  previous  recommendations  of  the 
General  Assembly  that  there  should  be  more  Presbyterial  watch  and 
care  over  all  our  ministerial  candidates  :  a  loving  interest  to  be  taken 
in  these  young  men  involving  a  better  knowledge  of  their  private 
character  and  their  progress  as  students. 

In  accordance  with  the  request  of  the  Board  it  is  recommended  : 

1.  That  the  General  Assembly  direct  the  Boards  of  Foreign 
Missions  and  Education  to  hold  a  conference  concerning  aid  which 
should  be  given  to  j'oung  men  who  may  be  preparing  to  become 
medical  missionaries. 

2.  The  attention  of  the  Board  having  been  called  to  an  appar- 
ently invidious  distinction  in  the  rules  concerning  the  morals  of  the 
white  and  colored  students,  we  recommend  that  permission  be  granted 
to  the  Board  so  to  revise  the  rules  as  to  have  all  students  under  the 
care  of  the  Board  subject  to  the  same  rule. 

3.  The  term  of  service  of  Samuel  A.  Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  Charles 
Wadsworth,  Jr. ,  D.  D.,  Robert  Hunter,  D.  D.,  Charles  H.  Mat- 
thews, Esq.,  George  Peirce,  Esq.,  and  George  W.  Bailey,  M.  D., 
expires  at  this  time,  and  we  recommend  their  re-election. 

4.  We  recommend  the  approval  of  the  Minutes  of  the  Board  and 
the  Report  of  the  Treasurer. 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  45 

One  of  the  subjects  which  has  commanded  much  of  the  thought 
and  attention  of  your  Committee  is  the  subject  **  of  a  fourth  year  of 
practical  training  for  all  our  young  ministers. '  *  It  is  manifest  that 
this  cannot  be  accomplished  without  the  awaking  of  a  deep  missionary 
spirit  on  the  part  of  our  young  men.  We  are  confronted  with  the 
fact  that  in  some  parts  of  our  country  the  supply  of  ministers  is 
greater  than  the  demand,  while  in  other  fields  calling  for  heroic 
service,  the  demand  is  greater  than  the  supply.  It  is  fitting  that  the 
young  men  fresh  from  the  seminary,  usually  unincumbered  with 
families,  should  '*  endure  hardness  as  good  soldiers,*'  leaving  the 
churches  which  can  give  a  comfortable  salary  to  men  of  larger 
experience.  Pastors,  Elders,  Presbyteries  and  Theological  Profes- 
sors, should  encourage  no  one  to  enter  the  ministry  who  is  not 
willing  to  go  into  the  darkest,  most  difficult  place,  at  the  call  of  God. 

More  searching  questions  should  be  asked  than  are  often  put  to 
those  who  claim  to  have  **a  call  to  the  ministry.'*  More  loving 
and  intelligent  sympathy  should  be  extended  to  those  who  are  ready 
to  give  themselves  a  willing  sacrifice  unto  God. 

The  Board  of  Education  in  its  report  of  this  year  has  given  the 
summary  of  its  extended  correspondence  on  this  subject.  In  order 
to  make  this  fourth  year  of  training  practicable  and  to  encourage  a 
missionary  spirit  in  candidates,  it  has  prepared  the  following  resolu- 
tions which  we  recommend  for  the  adoption  of  General  Assembly. 

PLAN   FOR   THE    ENCOURAGEMENT    OF  A   MISSIONARY  SPIRIT 

IN   CANDIDATES. 

I.  The  Board  of  Education  is  hereby  directed  to  use  its  influence 
to  incline  the  candidates  under  its  care,  at  the  conclusion  of  their 
studies  in  preparation  for  the  holy  ministry,  to  offer  their  services, 
under  all  ordinary  circumstances  for  missionary  labor  for  a  longer  or 
shorter  period  of  time  as  the  providence  of  God  may  indicate. 

And  further,  in  order  effectively  to  bring  this  influence  to  bear 
upon  its  candidates,  the  Board  is  hereby  authorized  to  add  the  fol- 
lowing to  its  Rules  relating  to  Candidates  for  the  Ministry. 

III.  Scholarships. — 10.  While  the  Church  in  providing  scholar- 
ships for  her  candidates,  makes  no  specific  conditions  as  to  the  par- 
ticular kind  of  service  in  the  ministry,  which  they  will  be  expected 
to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological  training,  nor  as  to 
the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  they  shall  labor,  never- 
theless her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary 
spirit  as  Christlike,  apostolic,  and  timely,  and  that  it  would  be  highly 
becoming  in  them,   under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  to  offer  their 


46  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD   OF   EDUCATION 

services,  at  the  conclusion  of  their  education,  for  work  in  missionary 
fields;  ever  remembering  the  abounding  destitution  in  our  own 
country,  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands;  the  peculiar  fitness  of  young 
men  for  such  work,  the  honor,  privilege,  and  advantage  pertaining 
to  it;  the  natural  expectations  of  the  Church  which  has  trained  them 
in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hardness  as  good  soldiers;  and, 
above  all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended  Lord. 

II.  It  is  hereby  made  the  duty  of  the  Board,  through  its  Cor- 
responding Secretary,  by  correspondence  with  the  candidates,  the 
Education  and  Mission  Committees  of  Presbyteries,  Synodical  Su- 
perintendents, and  the  Board  of  Home  Missions,  and  the  Mission 
Committees  of  S5mods,  to  bring  about,  to  as  large  a  degree  as  possible, 
the  employing  of  the  probationers  of  the  Church  in  Missionary  labor 
at  the  conclusion  of  their  studies. 

III.  Each  Theological  Seminar>Ms  hereby  requested  to  co-op- 
erate in  this  plan  by  so  ordering  the  course  of  instruction,  and  the 
general  life  of  the  seminary,  as  to  put  increased  emphasis  if  possible, 
upon  the  dignity,  privilege  and  preeminent  importance  in  this  crisis 
of  the  world's  history,  of  missionary  labor;  and  to  use  its  influence  to 
incline  the  young  men  whom  it  has  under  its  care,  without  distinc- 
tion, to  a  willingness  to  consecrate  the  strength  and  zeal  of  their 
early  manhood  to  a  task  so  appropriate  to  men  in  their  situation,  and 
so  rich  with  promise  of  large  results. 

IV.  The  Presbyteries  are  herebj'^  requested  to  co-operate  by 
making  themselves  acquainted,  through  the  Board  of  Education  and 
the  authorities  of  the  theological  seminaries,  or  otherwise,  with  the 
number  and  qualifications  of  the  candidates  who  are  prepared  to  offer 
themselves  for  missionary  service,  and  as  far  as  posoible,  to  employ 
them  promptly  upon  the  conclusion  of  their  studies;  that  thus  eflBcient 
measures  may  be  taken  to  supply  some  at  least  of  our  destitute  mis- 
sion fields,  and  to  make  use  without  delay  of  the  men  whom  the 
Church  is  at  so  much  pains  to  educate. 

In  behalf  of  the  Commmittee, 

Stephen  W.  Dana, 

Chairman. 

The  Committee  also  presented  a  supplementary  report  as  follows: 
I.  Overt  tire  No,  ^j,  from  the  Presbytery  of  Peoria,  on  the  quali- 
fications of  Theological  Students.     It  is  recommended  that  inasmuch 
as  the  action  of  the  General  Assembly  in  the  past  fully  covers  this 
ground,  further  action  is  unnecessarj'.     Adopted. 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD   OF    EDUCATION  47 

2.  The  Assembly  having  referred  to  your  Committee  a  communi- 
cation from  the  Board  of  Education  concerning  the  minimum  amount 
to  be  granted  to  students  under  its  care,  we  recommend  that  the 
General  Assembly  approve  of  the  policy  contained  in  the  following 
resolution  of  the  Board,  viz. : 

Resolved,  That  the  Board  of  Education  feels  it  to  be  its  duty  to 
express  to  the  General  Assembly  its  strong  conviction  that  the 
appropriations  to  collegiate  and  theological  students  should  not  be 
less  than  $80  per  annum,  as  a  minimum,  even  though  the  mainten- 
ance of  this  amount  should  necessitate  a  reduction  in  the  number  of 
candidates  received. 

The  Board  cannot  acquiesce,  except  on  the  express  instructions 
of  the  General  Assembly,  in  allowing  th-^t  to  become  a  permanent 
policy  which  was  intended  to  be  only  a  temporary  expedient,  and  it 
therefore  begs  the  Church  to  increase  its  contributions  to  the  end  that 
the  above  mentioned  rate  may  be  maintained,  and  the  number  of 
candidates  not  be  diminished.     Adopted. 

3.  Your  Committee  to  whom  was  referred  Overture  No,  64.,  from 
the  Presbytery  of  Geneva,  concerning  foreign  students,  would  report 
recommending  that  in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  rule  of  the  Board  of 
Education  sufficiently  provides  the  desired  protection,  that  no  action 
be  taken. 


Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
OF  THE  Church. 

1 .  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry 
of  the  Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbyteir  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  ^^411  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  reconmiended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita- 
tion given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbyter)'  to 
which  he  would  most  naturally  belong;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following 
questions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  vdU 
invariably  be  required  by  tlie  Board  :     Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.     Age  ? 

Residence?  Has  Presbytery  (or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  be- 
tween the  meetings  of  Presbytery)  examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and 
were  his  answers  satisfactory' ; — Piety  ?  Motives  for  seeking  tlie  ministr\'  ? 
Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  Practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive 
and  injurious  habits  ?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian 
church?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.  If  in  an  academy,  give  name  of 
academy  and  class.  If  in  College,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  College  and 
class.  If  in  Seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  Seminary  and  class.  If 
in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  collegiate  course  ?  If  so,  give 
the  name  of  the  College  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.  If  not  a  college  graduate, 
has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course  ?  If  so,  send  a  detailed  statement 
of  his  previous  studies  and  career.  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  ? 
What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to 
the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz.,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  ?  Does 
he  accept  the  requirements  contained  in  them  ?  If  the  candidate  is  colored,  has 
he  complied  with  Rules  i  and  2,  Section  VI  ?  At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of 
.   .   .  (or  of  the  Education  Committee)  held  at  .   .   .on  the  ....  day  of 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THK   BOARD  OP  EDUCATION  49 

189  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministnr  natned  above,  having  been  sat- 
isfactorily examined  as  to  the  points  indicatea  by  the  foregoing  questions,  was

Signed  by  .   .   .  Chairman  Educational  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases. 

III. — SCHOI^ARSHIPS. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  I150;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  |ioo. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points  :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economy  ? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  me  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
the  amount  ^ven,  with  interest,  incase  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  smt  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  fix>m  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Presbytery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  sufiering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
with  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on, or  continue  in,the  work  of  the 
ministry  (unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  or  if  he  chants  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  oy  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  fumisliing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regardea  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  fecilitate  and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


50  ANNUAI*  REPORT  OF  THS    BOARD  OF    EDUCATION 

lo.  While  the  Church  in  providing  scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes 
no  specific  conditions  as  to  the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministry, 
whicn  they  vnll  be  expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological 
training,  nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  the^  shall  labor 
nevertiieless  her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary  spirit 
as  Christlike,  apostolic,  and  timely,  and  that  it  would  be  highly  becoming  in 
them,  under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  to  offer  their  services,  at  the  conclusion 
of  their  education,  for  work  in  missionary  fiields  ;  ever  remembering  the 
abounding  destitution  in  our  own  country,  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands ;  the 
peculiar  fitness  of  ^oung  men  for  such  work  ;  the  honor  privilege,  and  advan- 
tage pertaining  to  it ;  the  natural  expectations  of  the  Church  which  has  trained 
them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hardness  as  good  soldiers  ;  and,  above 
all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended  Lord. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  recjuired,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  tliat  sympathize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Ediication  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  tlie 
bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tena  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbjrtery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors'  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  tliem,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from 
the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  tlie  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
dili^nce,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  com- 
municate without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbytery  ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no 
satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  respoiijve  Ije 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education 
within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altc^ether.   • 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3) :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presb3^ry ,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory 
as  to  the  **  real  piety  "  of  the  students,  "and  the  motives  which  have  influenced 
them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 


ANNUA!,   RE?ORT  OF  THE    fiOARt)  OI^  ^DUCATtON  5! 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  ^hall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who 
request  them. 

V. — Particui^ar  Duties  of  Candidates. 

1.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately 
reminded  that  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the 
cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special 
attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Scriptures ; 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ; 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavors 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious 
and  consistent  example. 

'  2.  luasnmch  as  the  scholarships  g^nted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the 
Board ;  and  if, when  ^ven,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  studjr  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued  ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Eclucation  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  tlie  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  tlie  Board. 

VI. — ExcKPTioNAi,  Cases. 

T.  The  Board  will  not  ordinarily  take  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  any  who  have  not  completed  a  course  preparatory  to  college.  If 
exceptional  cases  are  recommended  by  presbyteries  the  Board  should  be 
certified  that  there  has  been  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval  under 
competent  teachers,  through  two  or  three  years. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  expect  the  benefit  of  scholarships  for  more 
than  two  years  l)efore  entering  college.

54  ANNUAL   REPORT  OP  THR   BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

HINTS  to  the  Chairmen  of  Education  Committees  of  Presby- 
teries as  to  the  Recommendation  of  Candidates  to  the 
Board  of  Education  for  Aid. 


AKB  SURE  before  any  other  ac!tion   is  taken,  that  the  candidate  has 
been  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  his  Church,  as  this 
is  the  fundamental  requirement. 
Always  use  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 

Never  put  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendation  ;  never 
put  first  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.  You  will  thus  prevent  serious 
confusion  at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

Write  the  recommendations  plainly  in  ink  ;  never  use  pencil. 

Recommendations  and  Renewals  should  be  made,  if  possible,  at  the 
Spring  Meetings  of  the  Presbyteries,  and  forwarded  immediately  to  the  office 
of  the  Board. 

Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other  than  is 
required  by  the  answers.  Additional  notes  of  explanation  which  may  seem 
necessary  should  be  sent  in  an  accompanying  letter. 

Let  every  question  be  fully  answered  when  the  recommendation  is  first 
forwarded  ;  otherwise  additional  correspondence  will  be  necessary,  and  much 
delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate,  name  the  class 
and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction  for  the  year  which  ike 
recommendation  is  intended  to  coi*er ;  e.  g.,  if  the  recommendation  is  made  out 
in  the  Spring,  name  the  institution  and  the  class  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter 
in  the  fall. 

If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the  care  of  the 
Board,  comes  to  you  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us  your  recommendation 
in  the  form  of  a  renezval ;  and  g^ive  us  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  from  which 
you  receive  him. 

If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  preparatory  to 
theology,  in  an  institution  which  sympathizes  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require,  except  in  extraordinary  cases], 
send  us  the  assurance  that  he  has  the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbytery,  and 
the  reason  for  the  permission. 

If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  country,  the  assurance  must  be  sent  to 
us  that  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  the  United  States. 

In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Pre.bytery  to 
which  he  belongs.    This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up  his  case. 

Do  not  multilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them,  properly 
folded,  in  a  large  envelope.    This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and  indexing. 

Take  no  action  withuout  careful  study  of  the  printed  rules  prescribed  for 
our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

Seventy-Ninth  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education,  in  presenting  to  the  General  Assembly 
its  79th  annual  report,  is  called  upon  to  make  sorrowful  allusion  to 
the  death  of  the  Rev.  D.  W.  Poor,  D.  D. ,  which  occurred  in  the  city 
of  Newark,  on  the  i  ith  of  October,  1897,  in  the  80th  year  of  his  age. 
He  had  devoted  17  years  of  his  long  and  busy  life  to  the  cause  of 
Ministerial  Education  as  Corresponding  Secretary  of  this  Board,  from 
1876  to  1893,  when  failing  health  compelled  him  to  lay  aside  the 
burden  of  official  duty.  Due  record  has  been  made  in  the  minutes 
of  the  appreciation  felt  by  the  Board  for  the  high  character,  scholarly 
attainments,  genial  disposition,  and  eminent  usefulness  of  this  beloved 
servant  of  Christ  and  of  the  Church.  A  Commemorative  Service 
was  held  on  the  first  convenient  occasion  in  the  Walnut  Street 
Church,  Philadelphia,  where  he  was  an  attendant.  A  tablet  to  his 
memory  has  been  set  up  by  loving  hands  in  the  High  Street  Presby- 
terian Church,  Newark,  N.  J.,  of  which  he  was  the  organizer  and 
which  he  served  for  twenty  years  as  pastor. 

The  Board  has  also  sustained  a  severe  loss  by  the  death  of  Mr. 
Andrew  Blair,  who,  from  1886,  to  the  close  of  his  life,  gave  most 
faithful,  intelligent,  and  zealous  attention  to  the  interests  of  the 
Board.     He  entered  into  rest  on  the  i6th  of  April. 

The  term  of  service  of  the  following  members  expires  at  this 
time: — John  S.  Macintosh,  D.  D.,  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.  D., 
Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.,  Geo.  H.  Stuart,  Jr.,  Rudolph  S.  Walton, 
and  A.  A.  Shumway. 

Geo.  Peirce,  Esq.,  after  11  years  of  valuable  service,  has  felt  it 
necessary  to  resign  to  the  deep  regret  of  the  Board. 

At  the  annual  election,  on  the  fourth  of  June  last,  Geo.  D.  Baker, 
D.  D.,  was  chosen  President,  Jas.  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  Vice-Presi- 
dent, Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary,  and 
Jacob  Wilson,  Recording  Secretary  and  Treasurer. 

CANDIDATES. 

The  condition  of  the  treasury,  as  well  as  the  inability  of  the 
Church  to  press  new  work  either  in  this  country  or  in  foreign  lands 


4  ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THK   BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

on  account  of  the  state  of  the  treasuries  of  the  mission  Boards,  has 
led  to  the  adoption  of  an  extremely  conservative  policy  with  respect 
to  the  encouragement  and  assistance  of  new  candidates.  We  have  not 
dared  to  go  beyond  what  seemed  to  be  the  present  willingness  of  the 
Church  to  make  use  of  their  services  when  educated,  and  to  give 
them  aid  during  the  progress  of  their  training.  We  cannot  but  look 
upon  the  situation  as  most  unnatural  and  unhealthy.  The  greatness 
of  the  task  committed  to  the  Church  never  seemed  so  impressive,  nor 
the  opportunities  for  vigorous  prosecution  of  the  work  so  abundant, 
and  the  youth  of  the  Church  probably  never  showed  a  greater  readi- 
ness to  go  to  the  front  with  the  message  of  the  gospel,  and  yet 
retrenchment  in  expenditures,  and  the  curtailment,  and  even  aban- 
donment of  work,  have  been,  to  a  certain  extent,  characteristic  of  the 
times  instead  of  progress. 

Those  who  have  an  apprehension  that  this  Board  has  been 
instrumental  in  unduly  swelling  the  numbers  of  the  ministry  ought 
to  be  satisfied  that  their  fears  are  groundless.  The  danger  may  lie 
in  the  opposite  direction.  The  total  number  of  new  candidates 
accepted  by  the  Board  during  the  last  year  was  153,  while  the  annual 
loss  to  the  Church  by  death  and  dismission  is  174.  A  certain  num- 
ber of  new  men  must  be  furnished  each  year  simply  to  maintain  the 
Church  in  active  existence,  and  the  question  is  a  somewhat  pressing 
one  whether  we  shall  provide  the  men  from  our  own  households, 
trained  in  our  own  doctrines  and  in  our  own  ways,  or  depend  for  our 
supply  upon  sources  outside  of  our  own  communion.  Already  we 
are  receiving  ministers  from  outside  at  the  rate  of  91  per  annum. 
Two  years  ago  the  Board  enrolled  1037  men;  last  year  911  ;  and 
this  year  only  814  ;  of  whom  661  were  renewals  and  153  new  men. 

The  reduction  in  numbers  has  made  possible  a  slight  increase  in 
the  amount  of  aid  given  to  the  individual  students,  and  it  is  the  full 
intention  of  the  Board,  if  the  way  be  clear,  to  make  the  rate  for  the 
coming  season  eighty  dollars,  as  it  was  two  years  ago.  This  will 
make  necessary  an  increase  of  revenue  to  the  amount  of  at  least  eight 
thousand  dollars,  or  a  still  further  reduction  in  numbers. 

A  hopeful  sign  is  found  in  the  disposition  manifested  by  some 
individuals,  churches,  and  Sabbath-schools,  to  provide  scholarships 
for  individual  candidates.  The  advantages  are  that  a  more  generous 
provision  is  thus  commonly  made  for  the  candidate,  contributions  are 
largely  increased,  and  more  intelligently  given  ;  while  a  personal 
interest  is  excited  in  the  welfare  and  progress  of  the  young*  student 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION       5 

by  means  of  frequent  reports  of  his  standing  furnished  by  his 
instructors,  and  by  the  record  of  his  successful  work  when  he  enters 
upon  his  ministry.  During  the  past  year  eighteen  scholarships  of 
one  hundred  dollars  each  were  thus  given,  besides  one  of  one  hun- 
dred and  fifty  dollars,  and  the  Newberry  scholarship  yielding  about 
five  hundred,  and  a  number  of  smaller  special  contributions.  These 
scholarships  are  given  to  candidates  selected  by  the  contributors  for 
various  reasons,  sometimes  as  coming  from  their  own  church  or  pres- 
bytery ;  except  in  the  case  of  the  Newberry  scholarship,  which  is 
given  after  a  competitive  examination. 

It  is  an  interesting  fact  that  the  two  last  Newberry  scholars  have 
been  sons  of  home  missionaries,  and  that  they  have  both,  at  the  con- 
clusion of  their  special  studies,  devoted  themselves  to  mission  work, 
one  on  the  home  field  and  one  on  the  foreign.  The  next  Newberry 
scholar  will  be  chosen  from  Princeton  Seminary. 

The  total  number  of  recommendations  received  from  the  pres- 
byteries for  the  current  year  was  846  ;  so  that  32  were  refused.  It 
is  pleasant  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  Board  found  itself  able  to 
accept  every  candidate  whose  recommendation  was  received  season- 
ably and  in  order,  and  a  limited  number  in  addition  whose  cases, 
while  exceptional,  commended  themselves  to  its  judgment. 

Every  efiEort  has  been  used  to  maintain  that  high  standard  for 
conduct,  scholarship,  and  promise  of  usefulness,  which  the  Board  was 
established  to  promote.  Thanks  are  due  for  the  cordial  co-operation 
of  professors  in  the  several  institutions,  without  whose  fidelity  and 
frankness  in  keeping  the  Board  confidentially  informed  due  watch 
and  care  would  have  been  practically  impossible.  One  death  has 
occurred  among  our  candidates  ;  eight  have  been  dropped  from  the 
roll  upon  information  received  of  their  having  married,  and  a  number 
of  others  because  of  persistently  unsatisfactory  reports  as  to  char- 
acter, ability,  or  scholarship. 

REVISION  OF  THE   RULES. 

The  action  of  the  last  General  Assembly  made  necessary  a  re- 
vision of  the  rules.  The  sections  relating  to  colored  candidates,  while 
designed  to  make  special  provision  for  their  benefit,  were,  neverthe- 
less, sometimes  interpreted  as  expressing  distrust  of  the  race  to  which 
they  belong.  The  rules,  as  re-writtten,  by  direction  of  the  General 
Assembly,  have  no  longer  even  the  semblance  of  any  invidious  dis- 
tinctions. 


6  ANi*UAt  REi»ORT  OF  Tflltt  BOAkD  OF  KDXJCAl^ION 

It  is  hoped  that  the  new  section  setting  forth  a  missionary 
spirit  as  a  prime  qualification  for  the  ministry,  and  suggesting  to  the 
mind  of  each  candidate  the  eminent  propriety  of  his  making  an  offer 
of  his  services,  at  the  conclusion  of  his  course  of  study,  for  work  in 
mission  fields,  will  prove  of  great  good.  The  Corresponding  Secre- 
tary has  used  what  diligence  he  could,  by  means  of  a  circular  letter 
addressed  to  all  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board,  and  about  to 
be  graduated  from  theological  seminaries,  to  turn  their  thoughtful 
attention  to  work  of  this  description.  He  has  also  diligently  corres- 
ponded with  chairmen  of  home  missionary  committees,  and  synodi- 
cal  superintendents,  in  order  that  he  might  collect  helpful  informa- 
tion with  regard  to  needy  fields  where  young  graduates  might  most 
suitably  and  helpfully  begin  their  work  in  the  ministry.  The  result 
of  this  correspondence  is  to  show  that  the  fields  are  evidently  white 
unto  the  harvest,  but  that  the  means  are  largely  wanting  in  the 
treasuries  of  the  missionary  Boards  to  employ  the  laborers  who  are 
eager  to  volunteer.  Nevertheless  the  reports  from  the  seminaries, 
so  far  as  received,  indicate  that  the  graduating  classes  will,  in  gen- 
eral, promptly  finds  fields  of  labor. 

MBDICAL  MISSIONARY  WORK. 

A  conference  has  been  held,  in  obedience  to  the  direction  of  the 
last  General  Assembly,  with  the  corresponding  secretaries  of  the 
Board  of  Foreign  Missions  in  order  that  some  conclusion  might  be 
reached  with  regard  to  the  degree  of  encouragement,  pecuniary  or 
otherwise,  which  should  be  given  to  young  men  who  may  be  dis- 
posed to  volunteer  their  services  as  medical  missionaries.  The  need 
of  such  a  conference  has  sprung  from  the  fact  that  quite  a  number  of 
candidates  for  the  ministry  have  had  their  attention  and  their  desires 
turned  toward  medical  missions,  and  have  made  earnest  inquiries 
with  regard  to  the  means  of  procuring  the  expensive  and  protracted 
training  needed  for  that  work  in  case  they  turned  from  the  study  of 
theology  to  take  up  that  of  medicine. 

In  the  conference  the  extent  of  the  demand  under  existing  circum- 
stances was  considered.  It  appears  that  in  seven  years  the  Foreign 
Board  sent  out  23  physicians  to  96  ordained  men  ;  that  is  to  say  19 
per  cent,  of  the  men  sent  out  were  medical  missionaries.  Our  pro- 
portion of  medical  men  is  regarded  by  other  missionary  societies  as 
very  large.  At  the  present  time  the  medical  missionaries  at  our 
stations  constitute  12  per  cent,  of  the  force.      If  the  Board  should 


AKNtJAt  HKPORI*  OP  YHB  fiOAJlD  OF  KDUCAl^ION  7 

send  out  20  men  in  a  year  it  is  not  likely  that  more  than  two  would 
be  physicians.  This  may  be  taken  as  a  fair  estimate  of  the  annual 
demand  under  existing  circumstances. 

The  source  of  supply  has  not  been  in  the  past  altogether  satisfac- 
tory ;  the  proportion  of  failures  among  medical  missionaries  having 
been  greater  than  among  ordained  missionaries.  This  was  natural 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  latter  had  been  educated  under  the  close 
supervision  of  the  Church,  and  their  motives  and  qualifications 
rigidly  looked  into  at  every  stage.  The  offers  from  medical  men 
came  sometimes  from  persons  in  whom  was  found  a  lack  of  college 
training,  want  of  knowledge  of  the  Bible,  and  of  experience  in  prac- 
tical religious  work,  and  sometimes  of  due  appreciation  of  the  sacred 
character  of  the  task  set  before  them.  The  prospect  is  better  for  the 
future  in  view  of  the  increased  care  taken  to  present  to  students 
during  their  collegiate  and  medical  courses  the  spiritual  aspects  of 
medical  work  in  mission  lands  and  the  privilege  of  a  self-denying 
consecration  of  one's  talents  for  life  to  giving  healing  to  the  desti- 
tute in  the  name  of  Christ. 

The  qualifications  which  experience  shows  to  be  important  in  a 
candidate  for  medical  missionary  work  are,  first  of  all,  unquestion- 
able piety,  all  the  more  to  be  trusted  if  hereditary,  a  full  college 
course,  and  this  followed  by  the  best  medical  training  that  the  schools 
and  hospitals  of  our  land  can  afford  ;  while,  in  addition,  there  should 
be  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  Bible,  practical  efl&ciency,  and  an 
ability  to  deal  with  men  concerning  spiritual  matters. 

The  supervision  of  the  candidates'  education  is  a  question  which 
has  not  hitherto  attracted  attention,  largely  from  the  fact  that  more 
than  enough  men  have  offered  themselves  for  the  medical  work  than 
could  be  engaged,  and  a  selection  seemed  possible  by  which  physi- 
cians of  the  type  required  could  be  procured.  It  is  thought  that 
the  mistakes  which  have  sometimes  been  made  in  the  past  are  not 
likely  to  be  repeated. 

The  result  of  the  conference  may  be  summed  up  by  saying 
that  the  demand  seems  to  be  limited  at  present  to  an  annual  average 
of  about  two  men,  and  that  this  number  can  be  easily  and  satisfac- 
torily secured  by  selection  from  the  comparatively  large  number  of 
applicants  without  the  necessity  of  making  provision  for  aiding  can- 
didates during  their  course  of  study. 

It  seems  important  therefore  to  warn  candidates  for  the 
ministry  that  they  should  not  give  up  theology  for  medicine 
without  the  clearest  indications  of  talent  for,  and  a  call  to,  the  work 


8  ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

of  medical  missions.  At  the  same  time  we  are  of  the  opinion  that, 
when  these  indications  are  present,  no  better  material  for  this  work 
is  likely  to  be  found,  and  that  pecuniary  assistance  given  to  such 
candidates  under  careful  regulations  would  be  money  well  spent. 

INSTITUTIONS  VISITED 

In  accordance  with  his  prescribed  duty  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  has  visited  many  institutions,  including  Omaha  Seminary, 
Boulder  High  School,  the  University  of  Colorado,  Emporia  College 
and  the  Normal  School,  Highland  Park,  Parsons,  Coe,  and  Wash- 
ington Colleges.  He  has  made  public  addresses  to  the  students, 
held  conferences  with  candidates  for  the  ministry,  both  singly  and 
in  groups,  and  used  constant  influence  to  stimulate  them  to  put 
forth  their  best  exertions,  and  to  set  before  their  minds  the  highest 
standard  of  character  and  scholarship.  He  has  also  visited  and 
addressed  five  of  the  synods,  a  number  of  the  presbyteries,  and 
numerous  churches. 

FINANCIAL  CONDITION 

The  income  from  all  sources  during  the  year  is  $66,361.21, 
being  $876.52  more  than  during  the  previous  year.  The  income 
from  churches,  Sabbath-schools,  and  young  peoples*  societies  shows 
a  decrease  of  $1,312.73.  The  number  of  churches  contributing  is 
3523  as  compared  with  3424  during  the  previous  year.  The 
total  indebtedness  at  the  beginning  of  the  fiscal  year  was  $9,220.75. 
This  has  been  reduced  to  $7,720.75. 

NEW   QUARTERS 

On  the  tenth  day  of  January  the  Board  met  for  the  first  time  in 
their  new  and  most  suitable  and  convenient  rooms  on  the  fif^h  floor 
of  the  Witherspoon  Building,  provided  for  them  by  the  courtesy  of 
the  Board  of  Publication  and  Sabbath  School  Work,  to  whom  due 
acknowledgments  were  made  for  the  consideration  displayed  by  them 
in  all  the  armngements.  The  old  quarters  have  been  associated  with 
many  scenes  of  interesting  discussion  and  earnest  prayer,  and  with 
the  presence  and  labors  of  men  whose  services  have  made  them  dear 
to  the  Church,  and  they  were  left  after  a  season  of  special  petition

APPENDIX. 


ACTION  OKTHK  GE^NE^RAL.  ASSE^MBLY. 


The  Standing  Committee  of  The  Assembly  on  Education  con- 
sisted of  the  following  persons  : 


Ministers. 

THOMAS  D.  WALLACE,  D.  D., 
JOHN  HEMPHILL,  D.  D., 
THOMAS  K.  DAVIS,  D.  D., 
JOHN  F.  STONECIPHER. 
JOSEPH  LANMAN, 
GEORGE  R.  CUTTING, 
JAMES  B.  CLARK, 
JOHN  A.  ANNIN, 
MOSES  H.  JACKvSON, 
SAMUEL  F.  SHARPLESS. 
ROBERT  S.  INGLIS. 


Elders. 

JAMES  W.  SMILEY, 
K.  B.  McNARY, 
EDWARD  DITMARS, 
BISHOP  H.  SCHREIBER. 
WILLIAM  A.  BAKER, 
S.  C.  BROOKS, 
W.  H.  COYE, 
B.  W.  DIEHL, 
HENRY  J.  MAXWELL, 
EMERSON  G.  POLK. 


The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  presented  its  report, 
which  was  accepted,  and,  after  an  address  by  Rev.  E.  B.  Hodge, 
D.  D.,  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  others,  was 
adopted,  and  is  as  follows  : 

The  Standing  Committee  on  Education  desires  first  of  all  to 
commend,  as  a  whole,  the  brief  and  admirable  report  of  the  Board 
of  Education  ;  being  its  Seventy-ninth  Annual  Report  to  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly. 

Fitting  allusion  is  made  in  the  Report  to  the  death  of  the  Rev. 
Dr.  D.  W.  Poor,  for  so  many  years  the  devoted  friend  of  Ministerial 
Education,  and  the  efficient  Corresponding  Secretary  of  the  Board 
up  to  1893.  An  appropriate  minute  also  occurs  in  the  Records  of 
the  Board,  expressing  its  high  appreciation  of  his  character  and 
services. 

Your  Committee  also  notes  with  sorrow  the  loss  sustained  by 
the  Board  in  the  death  of  one  of  its  oldest  members,  Mr.  Andrew 
Blair,  of  whose  long  and  valuable  services  the  Board  in  its  record 
makes  loving  recognition. 

In  a  careful  review  of  this  Annual  Report  your  committee  finds, 
and  marks  several  tokens  of  improved  conditions,  for  which  it 
desires  to  make  grateful  acknowldgement  to  Jesus  Christ,  the  great 
Head  of  the  Church. 

I  St.  A  slight  increase  in  the  income  of  the  Board  from  all 
sources,  in  spite  of  the  continued  prevailing  financial  depression. 


3S  ANNUAL  REPORT  OI^  THE  BOARD  OF  KDlJdATION 

2d.  A  gain  of  99  over  the  preceding  year  in  the  number  of 
churches  contributing  to  this  Board,  showing  a  total  aggregate 
increase  in  the  past  four  years  of  378  churches. 

3d.  A  slight  increase  also  in  the  amount  given  to  the  individual 
students,  and  the  prospect  that  for  the  coming  year  this  aid  will  be 
increased  to$8o.oc  for  each  student  as  against  $70.00  last  year,  and 
$60.00  the  year  before. 

4th.  The  disposition  manifested  by  some  individuals,  churches 
and  Sabbath  vSchools  to  provide  scholarships  for  individual  candi- 
dates, tending  to  a  more  generous  provision  to  increased  contribu- 
tions and  to  a  deeper  personal  interest   in  the  candidates. 

5th.  That  the  indebtedness  of  the  Board  has  been  reduced  dur- 
ing the  year  by  the  sum  of  $1500,  leaving  the  debt  April  i,  1898, 

$7,720.75. 

6th.     That  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  the  Board  entered  their 

new  and  beautiful  rooms  in  the  Witherspoon  Building,  provided  by 

the  courtesy  of  the  Board  of  Publication,  and  with  no  expense  to  the 

Board  of  Education,  which  they  gratefully  acknowledge. 

There  are  on  the  other  hand  a  few  things  which  your  Committee 
notes  with  regret : 

I  St.  The  continual  decrease  in  the  number  of  new  candidates 
that  the  Board  is  able  to  take  under  its  care,  so  that  only  153  new 
students  were  accepted  during  the  past  year,  making  with 
**  renewals  **  a  total  of  814  granted  aid  as  against  91 1  the  year  before. 

2d.  The  meagreness  of  the  amount  of  aid  which  the  Board 
finds  it  possible  to  give  to  each  candidate  making  application. 

3d.  That  which  is  chiefly  the  cause  of  these  two  matters  of 
regret,  namely,  the  large  number  of  churches  which  have  made  no 
offering  whatever  during  the  past  year  ;  for,  while  there  has  been  a 
gradual  gain  during  the  past  four  years,  in  the  number  of  contribut- 
ing churches,  for  which  we  are  profoundly  grateful,  there  are  still 
4108  churches  which  made  no  offering  during  the  past  yeai,  or  more 
than  half  of  the  7631  churches  reported  on  the  roll  of  the  General 
Assembly's  Minutes. 

This  ought  not  to  be,  and  for  this  your  Committee  believes  that 
the  pastors  and  ruling  elders  are  largely  responsible.  Your  Com- 
mittee hopes  that  the  annual  gain  above  noted  in  the  number  of  con- 
tributing churches  will  go  steadily  on,  until  every  church  shall 
make  an  annual  offering,  when  the  urgent  needs  of  the  Board  will 
be  abundantly  met. 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD   OF  EDUCATION  39 

We  desire  also  to  call  the  attention  of  the  General  Assembly  to 
the  Conference  had  during  the  year  between  this  Board,  and  the 
Corresponding  Secretaries  of  the  Foreign  Board,  touching  the  degree 
of  encouragement  to  be  given  young  men  offering  their  services  as 
medical  missionaries. 

The  result  of  this  Conference,  as  summed  up  on  page  7  of  the 
Annual  Report,  is  to  the  mind  of  your  Committee  wholly  satisfactory, 
as  the  demand  for  medical  missionaries  seems  to  be  limited  at  present 
to  an  average  of  about  two  men  each  year,  and  can  be  easily  sup- 
plied from  the  large  number  of  applicants  without  the  necessity  of 
making  provision  for  aiding  such  candidates  during  their  course  ot 
study. 

Your  Committee  also  desires  to  call  the  attention  of  the  Assem- 
bly to  the  Treasurer's  Report,  that  it  may  answer  a  criticism  and 
offer  a  suggestion.  The  criticism  has  been  made  and  urged  that  the 
expense  of  administration  of  this  Board  is  too  great  in  proportion  to 
the  amount  of  contributions  received.  It  is  said  that  business  men 
in  some  quarters  decline  to  contribute,  and  oppose  church  contribu- 
tions on  this  account.     It  should  be  borne  in  mind  : 

I  St.  That  the  expense  of  administration  decreases  proportion- 
ately as  the  contributions  increase  ;  that  the  paid  officers  and  clerk 
of  this  Board,  as  to  quality  and  force,  are  absolutely  necessary,  but 
they  could  equally  well  take  care  of  the  interests  of  this  work  if  the 
contributions  were  doubled,  and  the  work  thus  enlarged,  and  we 
suggest  that  the  easiest  way  to  reduce  the  ratio  of  expense  to  contri- 
butions would  be  to  double  the  latter. 

2d.  It  must  be  remembered  and  emphasized  that  the  adminis- 
tration expense  of  such  a  work  as  this,  covers  and  includes  much 
besides  the  mere  handling  of  money,  and  the  keeping  of  accounts. 
It  includes  besides,  that  which  is  of  supreme  importance,  the  per- 
sonal care  and  thought  to  be  given  by  the  Corresponding  Secretary 
to  each  individual  case  of  nearly  one  thousand  candidates,  scattered 
throughout  the  land,  in  13  academies,  67  colleges  and  15  theological 
institutions,  and  representing  about  170  Presbyteries.  Few  of  us 
fully  appreciate  the  wisdom,  tact  and  patience  required,  carefully 
and  efficiently  to  carry  on  this  work  ;  and  your  Committee  gratefully 
recognizes  the  devotion  and  large-hearted  service  of  our  honored 
Corresponding  Secretary,  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D. 

Your  Committee  is  of  the  opinion  that  this  work  is  really 
economically  administered,  and  that  the  absolute  expense  of  adminis- 


40  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

tration  is  exceedingly  small,  and  that  an  analysis  and  separation  ot 
the  Treasurer's  accounts,  would  show  practically  a  large  percentage 
of  decrease  in  the  expense  of  administration,  properly  so  called.  We 
suggest,  therefore,  that  the  Treasurer  might  properly  take  this  mat- 
ter under  consideration,  and  might  suggest  to  the  Board  such  a 
readjustment  of  accounts. 

Your  Committee  would  offer,  besides,  the  following  recommend- 
ations : 

ist.  That  the  Minutes  of  the  Board  and  the  Report  of  the 
Treasurer  be  approved. 

2d.  That  the  following  members  of  the  Board  whose  terms  ot 
service  expire  with  this  Assembly,  be  re-elected :  John  S.  Mac- 
intosh, D.  D.,  Hughes  O.  Gibbons,  D.  D.,  George  H.  Stuart,  Jr., 
Rudolph  S.  Walton  and  A.  A.  Shumway  ;  that  John  Sparhawk 
Jones,  D.  D.,  be  elected  to  fill  the  place  of  Irwin  P.  McCurdy,  D.  D., 
removed  to  Kansas  City ;  that  the  election  of  Wm.  H.  Burnett, 
Esq.,  to  fill  the  place  of  George  Peirce,  Esq.,  resigned,  in  the  class 
whose  term  of  service  expires  in  1900  be  confirmed,  and  also  the 
election  of  Chasles  P.  Turner,  M.  D.,  to  fill  the  place  of  Andrew 
Blair,  deceased,  in  the  class  whose  term  expires  in  1899. 

3d.  That  the  Treasurer  of  the  Board  be  requested  to  include 
in  his  report  of  next  year,  and  each  year  thereafter,  a  table  showing 
the  total  receipts  from  all  sources  for  ten  years  preceding  and  includ- 
ing the  year  in  which  the  report  is  made  ;  that  the  annual  reports 
may  thus  always  furnish  a  comparative  history  of  receipts  for  con- 
venient reference. 

4th.  That  this  Assembly  also  renews  and  emphasizes  the 
recommendations  of  previous  Assemblies,  that  there  should  be  more 
earnest  care  on  the  part  of  pastors  in  seeking  out  desirable  candidates 
and  encouraging  them  to  undertake  the  necessary  preparation  for 
the  Gospel  Ministry  ;  more  systematic  and  sympathetic  Presbyterial 
care  over  candidates  during  their  course  of  study,  and  more  intimate 
and  painstaking  watchfulness  on  the  part  of  our  professors  in  Theo- 
logical Institutions,  as  to  the  character,  scholarship  and  conduct  of 
the  candidates. 

On  behalf  of  the  Committee, 

T.  D.  Wallace,  Chauman. 
May  23,  1898. 


Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

REI^TING  TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I.— Dbpkndbncb  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
OF  THE  Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry 
of  the  Goi^l  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbytexr  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita- 
tion given  from  this  Board  upon  Uie  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II.— Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  mucn  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbytery  to 
which  he  womd  most  naturally  belong;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following 
questions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  wiU 
invariably  be  required  by  the  Board  :    Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.    Age  ? 

Residence  ?  Has  Presbytery  ( or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  be 
tween  the  meetings  of  Ftesbytery)  examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and 
were  his  answers  satisfactory ; — Piety  ?  Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ? 
Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  Practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive 
and  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presb3rterian 
church?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.  If  in  an  academy,  give  name  of 
academy  an^  class.  If  in  College,  or  readj^  to  enter,  give  name  of  College  and 
class.  If  in  Seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  Seminary  and  chas.  If 
in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  collegiate  course  ?  If  so,  give 
the  name  of  the  College  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.  If  not  a  college  gnuiuate, 
has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course  ?  If  so,  send  a  detailed  statement 
of  his  previous  studies  and  career.  Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presb3rtery 
by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism  ? 
What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to 
the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz.,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  ?  Does 
he  accept  the  requirements  contained  in  them  ?  At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of 
...  (or  of  the  Education  Committee)  held  at .   .   .on  the  ....  day  of 


42  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THB  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

189  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  been  sat- 
isfactorily examined  as  to  the  points  indicated  by  the  foregoing  questions,  was 
recommended  to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified. 
Signed  by  .   .   .  Chairman  Educational  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member  ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  I150 ;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  |ioo. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points  :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  the  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
che  amount  jg^ven,  with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Presbytery  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  boara  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
witli  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on, or  continue  in, the  work  of  the 
ministry  ( unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented ) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  or  if  he  changes  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  given  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expeaite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment *of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


ANNtJAt  RKPOR1*  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  43 

lo.  While  the  Church  in  providing  scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes 
no  specific  conditions  as  to  the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministry, 
which  they  will  be  expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological 
training,  nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  the^  shall  labor 
nevertheless  her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary  spirit 
as  Christlike,  apostolic,  and  timely,  and  that  it  would  be  highly  becoming  in 
them,  under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  to  offer  their  services,  at  the  conclusion 
of  their  education,  for  work  in  missionary  fiields ;  ever  remembering  the 
abounding  destitution  in  our  own  country,  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands ;  the 
peculiar  fitness  of^oung  men  for  such  work  ;  the  honor  privilege,  and  advan- 
tage pertaining  to  it ;  the  natural  expectations  of  the  Church  which  has  trained 
them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hardness  as  good  soldiers ;  and,  above 
all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended  Lord. 

IV. — Care  op  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympauiize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Enucation  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the 
bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  will  tena  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

J.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors'  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from 
the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  pietv,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  com- 
municate without  delay  tlie  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbytery  ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry-  on  the  part  of  the  Presbyter>%  no 
satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education 
within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3) :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory 
as  to  the  **  real  piety  '*  of  the  students,  **and  the  motives  which  have  influenced 
them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,"  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 


44  ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION 

8.  The  anntial  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who 
request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  afiectionately 
reminded  uiat  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the 
cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special 
attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Smptures ; 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ; 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavors 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  oUiers  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  pious 
and  consistent  example. 

'  2.  Inasmuch  as  me  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the 
Board ;  and  if, when  gpven,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  stud^  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued  ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Eaucation  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  afiect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board 

VI.— Exceptional  Cases. 

1.  The  Board  will  not  ordinarily  take  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  any  who  have  not  completed  a  course  preparatory  to  college.  If 
exceptional  cases  are  recommenaed  by  presbyteries  the  Board  should  be 
certified  that  Uiere  has  been  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval  under 
competent  teachers,  through  two  or  three  years. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  expect  the  benefit  of  scholarships  for  more 
than  two  years  before  entering  college.

ANNUAI,  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  47 

HINTS  to  the  Chairmen  of  Education  Committees  of  Presby- 
teries as  to  the  Recommendation  of  Candidates  to  the 
Board  of  Education  for  Aid. 


AKE  SURE  before    any  other  action  is  taken,  that  the  candidate  has 
been  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  his  Church,  as  this 
is  the  fundamental  requirement. 
Always  use  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 

Never  put  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendation  ;  never 
put  first  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.  You  will  thus  prevent  serious 
confusion  at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

Write  the  recommendations  plainly  in  ink  ;  never  use  pencil. 

Recommendations  and  renewals  should  be  made,  if  possible,  at  the 
Spring  Meetings  of  the  Presbyteries,  and  forwarded  immediately  to  the  office 
of  the  Board. 

Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other  than  is 
required  by  the  answers.  Additional  notes  of  explanation  which  may  seem 
necessary  should  be  sent  in  an  accompanying  letter. 

Let  every  question  be  fully  answered  when  the  recommendation  is  first 
forwarded ;  otherwise  additional  correspondence  will  be  necessary,  and  much 
delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate  name  the  class 
and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction  /or  the  year  which  the 
recommendation  is  intended  to  cover  ;  e.  g.,  if  the  recommendation  is  made  out 
in  the  Spring,  name  the  institution  and  class  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter  in 
the  fall. 

If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the  care  of  the 
Board,  conies  to  you  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us  your  recommendation 
in  the  form  of  a  rennvai  \  and  give  us  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  from  which 
you  receive  him. 

If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  preparatory  to 
theology,  in  an  institution  which  sympathizes  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require,  except  in  extraordinary  cases], 
send  us  the  assurance  that  he  has  the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbytery, 
and  the  reason  for  the  permission. 

If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  country',  the  assurance  must  be  sent  to 
us  that  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  the  United  States. 

In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Presbytery  tc 
which  he  belongs.     This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up  his  case. 

Do  not  mutilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them,  properly 
olded,  in  a  large  envelope.    This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and  indexing. 

Take  no  action  without  careful  study  of  the  printed  rules  prescribed  for 
our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

Eightieth  Annual  Report. 


The  Board  of  Education  respectfully  presents  to  the  General 
Assembly  its  Eightieth  Annual  Report.  During  the  year  death 
has  deprived  the  Board  of  the  services  of  the  Rev.  Samuel  A. 
Mutchmore,  D.  D.,  LLD.,  who  since  1880  had  given  time  and 
thought  to  its  interests.  An  expression  of  the  estimation  in  which 
he  was  held,  a  review  of  his  services,  with  a  sketch  of  his  character, 
and  a  record  of  the  sorrow  felt  at  his  death,  has  been  spread  on  the 
Minutes.  The  Board  has  re-elected  George  Peirce,  Esq.  to  fill  the 
vacancy  caused  by  his  own  resignation,  Wm.  H.  Burnett,  Esq.,  not 
having  found  it  convenient  to  accede  to  the  proposition  made  to  him 
a  year  ago  to  succeed  Mr.  Peirce.  The  Board  has  also  chosen  the 
Rev.  Chas.  R.  Erdman  to  succeed  the  Rev.  Samuel  A.  Mutchmore, 
D.  D.,  LL.D.  Both  elections  are  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
General  Assembly. 

The  term  of  service  of  the  following  members  expires  at  this 
time  : — George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  James  M.  Crowell,  D.  D.,  W.  H. 
Miller,  D.  D.,  George  W.  Barr,  Charles  P.  Turner,  M.  D.,  and  T. 
M.  Rogers. 

At  the  annual  election,  held  on  the  thirteenth  of  June  last, 
George  D.  Baker,  D.  D.,  was  chosen  President,  James  M.  Crowell, 
D.  D.,  Vice-President,  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.  D.,  Corresponding 
Secretary,  and  Jacob  Wilson,  Treasurer. 

FINANCIAL  CONDITION. 

The  particular  attention  of  the  General  Assembly  is  called  to 
the  careful  manner  in  which  the  affairs  of  the  Board  have  been  con- 
ducted during  a  period  of  several  years  of  very  peculiar  anxiety  and 
difl&culty.  There  was  a  heavy  falling  off  in  receipts  from  churches 
and  individuals  in  the  year  1893-4  J  ^^^  y^^^  when  the  country  was 
in  the  midst  of  a  financial  crisis,  and  when  our  Mission  Boards  and 
the  benevolent  agencies  in  general  of  our  own  Church  and  of  other 
denominations  as  well,  were  suffering  from  the  common  depression. 
This  loss  of  revenue  was  nearly  coincident  with  the  enrollment  of 
the  largest  number  of  candidates  in  the  history  of  our  Church,  and 
the  Board  was  compelled  to  borrow  money  in  order  to  meet  faith- 
fully the  obligations  which  it  had  assumed.     The  debt  reported  to 

3 


4  ANNUAI,   REPORT  OF  THB   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION 

the  General  Assembly  of  1896  amounted  to  $17,600.  The  Board  at 
once  took  eflBcient  measures  to  adjust  its  expenditures  to  its  receipts, 
and  has  kept  within  its  income  each  year  and  paid  off  $12,163  ^^  ^^^ 
debt.  Although  the  attention  of  the  Church  has  been  pre-occupied  with 
the  efforts  put  forth  to  extricate  other  Boards  from  painful  embar- 
rassments, and  although  in  some  quarters  there  has  been  an  unwill- 
ingness to  contribute  to  this  Board  on  the  plea  that  the  Church  has 
too  many  ministers  already,  there  has  been  wonderfully  little  varia- 
tions in  income  for  a  period  of  six  years.  The  following  table  shows 
what  has  been  received  during  that  period  from  all  sources  exclusive 
of  legacies : — 

1894  •    .  .  |59»ao7 

1895  .    .  .  $63,912 

1896  .    .  .  $63,317,  besides  $  1,841  from  "Anniversary  Reunion  Fund.'* 

1897  ..  .  $56,884        "        t     415      •* 

1898  .   .  .  $56,853 

1899  -    •  •  $61,913       **        $10,000  to  be  added  to  the  Permanent  Pnud. 

The  Board  therefore  confidently  reports  itself  as  in  a  thoroughly 
sound  financial  condition.  Its  present  indebtedness  is  $5 » 437- 50.^ 
In  accordance  with  the  directions  of  the  General  Assembly  it  has 
given  its  attention,  under  existing  circumstances,  rather  to  making 
better  provision  for  its  candidates  than  to  the  putting  forth  of  efforts 
to  increase  their  numbers.  In  carrying  out  this  policy  the  rate  fixed 
for  the  year  was  $75.00  for  candidates  in  colleges  and  theological 
seminaries,  and  $65.00  for  the  exceptional  cases  receiving  aid  in 
preparatory  schools. 

This  increased  appropriation  is  still  inadequate,  and  some  of 
our  candidates  have  felt  compelled  to  devote  hours,  which  should 
have  been  given  to  study  or  to  sleep,  to  the  earning  of  money 
during  term  time.  There  has  been  a  distinct  loss  on  this  account 
with  respect  to  attainments  in  scholarship,  if  not  a  serious  in- 
jury to  health.  It  is  believed  that  a  somewhat  larger  amount  may 
be  wisely  given  without  taking  from  the  candidates  the  stimulus  to 
provide  for  their  own  support  which  all  should  be  made  to  feel. 
The  Board  at  present  finds  itself  greatly  hampered  by  the  small 
amount  of  money  yearly  placed  at  its  disposal.  It  feels  that  it  may 
rightfully  ask  for  the  full  endorsement  by  the  General  Assembly  of 
its  management  of  the  funds  entrusted  to  its  care,  and  for  an  earnest

plea  from  that  body  for  a  much  larger  contribution  hereafter  for  the 
carrying  forward  of  its  work. 

The  Board  has  received  during  the  year  money  from  an  anony- 
mous friend  for  the  purpose  of  constituting  a  Memorial  Fund,  the 
principal  to  be  held  in  trust,  and  the  income  to  be  used  in  aid  of  the 
education  of  candidates  for  the  holy  ministry  under  the  care  of  the 
Board,  in  memory  of  the  life  and  services  of  the  late  D.  W.  Poor, 
D.  D.,  for  seventeen  years  its  Corresponding  Secretary.  A  portion 
of  the  income  has  been  set  aside  to  constitute  what  has  beea  desig- 
nated the  "Secretary's  Scholarship"  to  be  awarded  after  competi- 
tion, as  in  the  case  of  the  Newberry  Scholarship,  and  to  be  held  for 
three  years,  and  to  be  open  to  students  in  their  second  year  of  theo- 
logical studies  and  under  the  care  of  this  Board.  Notice  has  also 
been  received  of  a  bequest  of  $5,000  in  the  will  of  the  late  Dr. 
Mutchmore,  the  income  of  which  is  to  be  used  in  aid  of  the  educa- 
tion of  candidates  fulfilling  certain  specified  conditions,  and  also  of 
a  bequest  of  $2,500  to  constitute  the  *' Banks  Scholarship"  in 
memory  of  the  late  Rev.  David  Stuart  Banks,  D.  D.  The  "Newberry 
Scholarship"  has  this  year  been  awarded  to  Mr.  F.  W.  Loetscher,  a 
graduate  of  Princeton  University  and  a  member  of  the  Middle  Class 
in  Princeton  Theological  Seminary.  He  was  a  First  Group  man 
at  his  graduation.  It  is  gratifying  to  be  able  to  state  that, 
in  the  examination  which  he  sustained  for  this  scholarship,  he  scored 
the  highest  possible  number  of  marks  in  Greek,  Latin,  Philosophy, 
History  and  oral  examination  in  Literature ;  and,  besides,  gained 
special  commendation  in  four  subjects.  The  **  Secretary's  Scholar- 
ship" has  been  awarded  to  Mr.  J.  B.  McCreery,  a  graduate  of  the 
University  of  Michigan,  and  a  member  of  the  Middle  Class  in 
Princeton  Seminary.  The  examiners  were  so  greatly  pleased  with 
the  answers  given  in  this  case  also  that  the  result  might  be  described 
in  almost  the  same  language  as  that  which  has  been  used  with  regard 
to  Mr.  Loetscher.  The  example  of  the  founders  of  these  schol- 
arships is  commended  to  those  who  are  inquiring  as  to  the  most 
fruitful  investment  which  they  can  make  of  their  money.  Scholar- 
ship aid  to  the  amount  of  $100,  or  more,  has  been  given  during  the 
year  to  eighteen  other  candidates  for  whom  friends  have  made  special 

provision. 

CANDIDATES. 

The  number  of   candidates  under    the  care  of    the    Church 
reached  its  maximum  in  the  years  1895  and   1896.      There  were 


6  ANNUAL   REPORT  OP  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

reported  by  presbyteries  1477  in  1895,  and  1508  in  1896,  of  whom 
1032  in  1895,  ^^d  1037  ^^  1896,  were  under  the  care  of  the  Board  of 
Education.  The  number  reported  by  presbyteries  fell  in  1897  ^^ 
1433-  The  relatively  small  number  of  1161,  reported  in  1898,  is 
evidently  due  in  part  to  the  failure  of  some  of  the  presbyteries  to 
make  full  and  accurate  reports. 

The  Board  had  under  its  care  in  1898  only  814  men,  a  falling 
off  of  97  from  the  year  before.  This  year  (1899)  the  number 
enrolled  by  the  Board  has  been  only  745,  being  69  less  than  in  1898. 
On  the  other  hand  the  number  of  new  candidates  enrolled  has  been 
1 8  greater.  The  reports  so  far  received  from  the  seminaries  indicate 
that  the  total  enrollment  for  the  year  will  prove  to  be  at  least  fifty 
less  than  last  year.  The  question  deserves  careful  study  why  it 
should  be  that,  when  the  country  is  increasing  steadily  in  popula- 
tion, and  when  the  openings  for  missionary  operations  abroad  have 
multiplied  to  an  amazing  extent,  the  number  of  candidates  for  the 
ministry  should  suffer  so  serious  a  decline  ;  a  decline  all  the  more 
striking  from  the  contrast  it  affords  with  the  decided  increase  in  the 
number  of  students  in  other  departments  of  knowledge.  In  the 
decade  ending  1897  students  in  dental  schools  of  the  United  States 
had  increased  284  per  cent.,  in  law  schools  228  per  cent.,  in  medical 
schools  108  per  cent.,  in  schools  of  theology  30  per  cent.  In  our 
Church,  it  is  true,  the  growth  was  encouraging  for  the  decade  in 
question.  In  the  decade  ending  1888  there  was  an  annual  average 
of  760  candidates;  while  in  the  decade  ending  1898  the  annual 
average  was  1327. 

WHY  CANDIDATES  ARE  FEWER. 

What  has  produced  the  recent  sudden  and  severe  reaction  ?  In 
1898  the  decline  was  marked,  although  by  no  means  so  marked  as 
the  figures  given  by  the  presbyteries  in  their  reports  to  the  General 
Assembly  seem  to  show,  while  there  had  been  previously  an  almost 
uninterrupted  increase  from  year  to  year  since  1880  to  the  maximum 
in  1896.  The  decline  in  numbers  has  been  coincident  with  the  fol- 
lowing noteworthy  facts  : — (i)  The  three  missionary  Boards  upon 
which  advance  movements  are  largely  dependent  have  been  in  such 
serious  embarrassment  that  retrenchment  rather  than  advance  has 
been  imperatively  necessary.  (2)  Unusual  restlessness  seems  to 
have  existed  of  late  among  settled  ministers,  probably  due  in  part  to 
the  general  financial  distress  which  has  made  it  important  for  not  a 


ANNUAX  REPORT  OP  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  ^ 

few  to  seek  new  situations  where  the  income  would  enable  them  to 
support  their  families  without  incurring  debt  and  to  educate  their 
children.  (3)  Consequently  the  number  of  candidates  for  vacant 
churches  seems  to  have  been  unusually  large  ;  even  the  smaller 
churches,  when  vacant,  having  many  applicants ;  and  a  wide- 
spread impression  has  been  produced  that  the  Presbyterian  Church 
was  raising  up  more  ministers  than  she  was  able  or  willing  to  em- 
ploy at  the  conclusion  of  an  education  which  she  insisted  should  be 
long,  thorough,  and  necessarily  expensive.  This  feeling  has  made 
itself  manifest  in  many  ways,  and  excited  much  remark.  Is  it  sur- 
prising that  a  sense  of  discouragement  should  come  over  young  men, 
who  had  purposed  in  their  hearts  to  offer  their  services  for  what  they 
supposed  was  a  crying  need,  when  told  with  so  much  emphasis  of 
repetition  that  the  Church  has  too  many  ministers  already,  and  that 
it  would  be  a  good  thing  to  close  the  theological  seminaries  until  the 
overproduction  was  absorbed  ?  We  do  not  doubt  that  we  have  in 
the  state  of  things  as  thus  described  the  real  reason  for  the  recent 
falling  off  in  the  number  of  men  offering  themselves  for  the  ministry. 

A  REMEDY  PROPOSED. 

What  can  be  proposed  as  an  effectual  remedy  ?  The  most 
obvious  step  to  take  is  the  paying  off  of  the  debts  of  the  Boards  and 
taking  efficient  measures  to  provide  for  their  several  treasuries  a 
constant  and  sufficient  income.  Then  movements  can  be  prosecuted 
to  keep  pace  with  advancing  population,  to  give  the  gospel  to  the 
tens  of  thousands  of  unevangelized  foreigners  who  have  come  to  our 
shores,  and  to  enter  with  zeal  through  the  doors  which  have  been 
opened  for  the  Church  into  all  the  lands  of  the  heathen  world. 
There  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  young  men  will  be  found 
ready  to  volunteer  as  soon  as  they  see  that  the  Church  is  in  earnest 
in  prosecuting  a  movement  for  the  giving  of  the  gospel  to  all  man- 
kind. In  the  next  place  there  is  an  imperative  demand  for  a 
removal  of  serious  evils  in  the  Church's  life.  (A.)  The  rolls  of 
the  Church  are  to  a  certain  extent  clogged  with  names  which  should 
probably  be  removed.  B.  She  lacks  means  for  the  immediate, 
economical,  and  full  employment  of  the  whole  capable  ministerial 
force  at  her  disposal.  C.  She  has  no  provision  for  the  support  of  her 
ministry  which  is  on  the  average  nearly  adequate,  and  great  dis- 
tress and  unrest  are  the  result.  In  this  connection  we  venture  to 
make  some  suggestions  to  presbyteries. 


8  ANNUAI,   REPORT  OF   THE    BOARD  OP    EDUCATION 

HOW  PRESBYTERIES  MAY  HELP. 

I.  The  number  of  ordinations  sine  Htulo  should  be  reduced  to 
a  minimum,  and  a  real  probation  be  insisted  upon  as  provided  in 
our  Book.  II.  Licenses  should  be  withdrawn  from  men  who  fail 
to  secure  from  the  people  a  corroboration  of  their  supposed  call  to 
the  ministry  after  fair  opportunity.  III.  It  should  be  made  some 
one's  official  business  to  see  to  it  that  each  probationer  is  taken 
under  care  and  introduced  before  the  people  for  trial  of  his  gifts  and 
an  opportunity  for  settlement ;  and  such  settlement  should  be,  under 
all  ordinary  circumstances,  in  one  of  the  smaller  fields  or  mission 
stations.  A  hint  may  be  taken  from  the  English  Presbjrterian 
Church  which  has  a  Committee  for  the  Apportionment  of  Probation- 
ers. IV.  Moderators  of  vacant  churches  should  be  recognized  as 
the  conveners  of  the  sessions  of  such  churches,  and  the  means  by 
which  presbytery  watches  over  their  interests,  guards  the  pulpit 
from  the  incapable,  the  unsound,  and  the  unworthy,  and  introduces 
to  the  attention  of  sessions  and  people  ministers  needing  change  or 
probationers  as  the  case  may  be.  V.  An  effort  should  be  made  to 
raise  the  minimum  salary  of  ministers,  and  to  provide  every  well 
established  church  with  a  manse.  VI.  The  most  active  measures 
should  be  taken  in  every  presbytery  to  famish  the  means  of  grace 
through  the  preached  Word  to  all  the  destitute  within  its  botmds. 

It  must  be  remembered  that  no  measures  can  remove  all  diffi- 
culties. Some  things  must  be  borne  with  because  inseparable  from 
privileges  which  are  highly  prized.  So  long  as  the  people  claim  it 
as  their  Protestant  prerogative  to  choose  their  own  pastors  they 
must  expect  to  have  presented  to  them  a  long  list  of  candidates  for 
vacancies  as  they  occur. 

CANDIDATES  FOR  VACANCIES— HOW  THE  LISTS  ARE  COMPOSED. 

It  will  be  found  that  the  candidates  for  vacant  churches  con- 
sist :  (a.)  of  those  ministers  who  need  removal  from  one  field  to 
another,  or  think  they  do  ;  (^.)  of  men  out  of  charge  for  the  time 
for  one  cause  or  another  ;  (r. )  of  newly  graduated  probationers ; 
{d. )  of  unacceptable  men  who  have  gone  from  one  parish  to  another, 
and,  through  lack  of  tact  or  absence  of  gifts,  can  never  stay  long 
in  any  place,  and  are  applicants  for  every  vacancy  they  hear  of ; 
(^. )  of  men  who  are  seeking  to  enter  the  Presbyterian  Church  from 
other  denominations  in  which  they  have  become  dissatisfied,  or  have 
possibly  lost  caste.     Nothing  has  done  so  much  to  give  the  impres- 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION        9 

sion  of  an  overstocked  ministry  as  such  lists  of  candidates  for 
vacancies.  An  analysis,  however,  of  the  lists  would  soon  show  the 
trqe  state  of  affairs  ;  and  thoughtful  men  will  acknowledge  that  no 
greater  folly  could  be  committed  than  to  lose  interest  in  ministerial 
education,  and  give  up  effort  to  promote  it,  because  of  this  con- 
dition, and  because  a  certain  proportion  of  those  educated  prove  to 
be  unsatisfactory  or  inefficient.  It  is  a  fair  question,  however, 
whether  the  Church's  methods  are  responsible  for  the  failures  which 
do  occur,  or  whether  these  are  simply  inevitable  under  any  system. 

DISTINGUISHED  SUCCESS  OF  EDUCATIONAL  METHOD. 

Let  the  question  first  be  put,  For  what  purpose  did  the  Church 
devise  her  plan  of  scholarship  aid  in  the  education  of  the  ministry  ? 
It  was  in  order  that  she  might  encourage  and  enable  her  candidates 
to  get  a  full  course  of  preparation  for  the  sacred  office.  Has  she 
succeeded  in  accomplishing  her  purpose?  The  answer  is  that  her 
success  has  been  very  remarkable ^  as  a  study  of  the  catalogues  of  her 
theological  seminaries  will  show.  Take  the  four  institutions  at 
which  most  of  her  candidates  are  getting  their  training,  and  it  will 
be  seen  that  in  one  92  1-5  per  cent.,  in  another  87  per  cent.,  in 
another  94  1-3  per  cent.,  in  another  85  5-7  per  cent,  are  college 
graduates.  Or,  taking  the  sum  of  all  twelve  of  the  seminaries 
of  our  Church,  we  find  that  the  college  graduates  constitute  84  1-2 
per  cent,  of  the  whole  number.*  A  large  proportion,  moreover,  of 
those  without  a  degree  have  had  a  college  training,  only  not  to  com- 
pletion. The  Church  therefore  is  accomplishing  that  which  she 
sought  to  accomplish  by  her  scheme  of  scholarship  aid.  Her  suc- 
cess is  without  parallel  in  the  other  professions.  Compare  the  84  1-2 
per  cent,  of  college  graduates  in  our  theological  schools  as  a  whole 
with  the  61-7  per  cent,  of  college  graduates  in  the  medical  schools 
as  a  whole.  Or  compare  the  92  1-5  per  cent,  and  the  94  1-3  per  cent, 
of  two  of  our  seminaries  with  the  16  i -8  per  cent,  of  a  single  medical 
school  reckoned  as  one  of  those  in  the  front  rank  of  such  institutions. 
But  what  shall  be  said  of  the  failures  ?  Simply  that  in  no  other  pro- 
fession is  the  proportion  so  small ;  and  further  that,  so  far  as  we  are 
able  to  draw  a  distinction  between  the  men  who  have  been  aided  by 
the  Church's  scholarship  funds  and  those  not  thus  aided,  the  com- 
parison is  in  favor  of  the  men  who  have  had  the  scholarships.  The 
foUowhig  figures  are  from  an  article  published  by  Dr.    Patton,  of

ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD   OF  EDT7CATION  II 

not  only  the  formal  and  official,  but  the  personal  and  particular 
testimony  of  their  teachers  as  to  character  and  a  spiritual  life.  The 
fact  is  that  an  excellent  class  of  men  continue  to  seek  our  ministry. 
In  1883  of  26  graduates  of  Princeton  University  then  in  Princeton 
Seminary,  (a  proportion  of  whom  were  under  the  care  of  the  Board), 
over  69  per  cent,  had  received  special  honorary  orations  for  special 
excellence  in  scholarship  ;  one  was  first  honor  man  in  his  class ; 
three  were  second  honor  men  ;  one  had  third  honor  ;  one  was  a  vale- 
dictorian ;  nine,  or  one-half  of  the  whole  number,  had  been  Junior 
Orators.  In  1899  we  find  in  one  class  in  the  same  institution  a  first 
honor  man  of  Princeton  University  and  a  first  honor  man  of  the 
University  of  Michigan.  In  fact,  as  far  as  the  Board  of  Education 
is  concerned,  the  high  standard  set,  and  the  strictness  of  its  rules, 
and  the  constant  watch  and  care  exercised  tend  constantly  to  keep 
out  the  unfit  and  the  unworthy  from  the  ranks  of  the  ministry. 
There  is  still  much  to  be  desired  as  to  scholarship  and  some  other 
things ;  but  our  system  is  of  a  character  to  encourage  and  require 
improvement. 

The  added  fear  lest  the  Church's  system  of  scholarship  aid  may 
result  in  unduly  multiplying  the  number  of  ministers  has  not  been 
justified  by  experience.  The  population  of  the  country,  the  member- 
ship of  the  Church,  and  the  opportunities  for  missionary  work  have 
all  increased  more  rapidly  in  proportion  than  the  ministry.  Indeed 
the  Church's  system  is  largely  one  of  restriction  ;  a  means  of  guard- 
ing the  entrance  to  the  ministry  from  the  unfit,  and  of  eliminating 
year  by  year  from  the  number  of  candidates  those  who  give 
evidence  that  they  are  seeking  the  holy  office  without  a  divine  call. 

On  the  whole  subject  of  candidates  the  Board  re-affirms  its 
confidence  in  the  general  system  under  which  its  operations  have  been 
conducted,  but  directs  attention  to  the  fact  that  it  is  dependent  for 
success  upon  the  care  and  fidelity  with  which  presbyteries  and  their 
education  committees,  and  professors  in  our  colleges  and  seminaries, 
perform  the  duties  which  devolve  upon  them  in  this  matter. 
It  asks  the  General  Assembly  to  direct  the  attention  of  the 
Church  to  the  recent  large  falling  off  in  the  number  of  candidates, 
and  to  the  importance  of  renewed  interest  in  the  command  of  our 
Redeemer  to  consider  the  small  number  of  laborers  in  relation  to 
the  extent  of  the  harvest,  and  to  offer  continual  and  fervent  prayer 
for  its  increase. 


12  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION 

DAY  OF  PRAYER  FOR  COLLEGES. 

In  this  connection  the  Board  begs  that  the  General  Assembly 
will  take  what  measures  may  seem  best  to  it  to  promote  the  more 
general  and  hearty  observance  of  the  Day  of  Prayer  for  Colleges  to 
the  intent  that  the  young  people  who  are  getting  the  higher  educa- 
tion, and  are  likely  hereafter  to  be  of  peculiar  prominence  and  power 
for  good  or  evil,  may  in  their  college  days  become  true  Christians, 
and  that  many  of  them  may  devote  their  cultured  lives  to  the  service 
of  Christ  in  the  ministry.  It  is  understood  that  a  movement  has 
been  started  having  in  view  a  change  of  day  from  the  last  Thursday 
in  January  to  a  Sunday  in  February.  The  Board  is  of  the  opinion 
that  previous  experiments  in  changing  the  time  of  observance  have 
resulted  in  destroying  much  of  the  interest  that  was  felt  in  the  day, 
and  it  begs  that  no  change  be  made  unless  it  becomes  very  clear  that 
such  a  change  would  be  of  real  advantage.  Our  correspondence 
reveals  the  fact  that  the  day  is  widely  kept  in  the  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church,  and  that  its  observance  has  been  greatly  blessed.  There  is 
no  disposition  in  that  branch  of  the  Church  to  change  the  date,  so 
far  as  we  are  informed.  In  the  Cumberland  Presbyterian  Church 
**  there  appears  to  be  a  disposition  to  fall  in  line  with  the  substitute 
and  use  the  second  Sabbath  of  February  ;"  but  the  Correspond- 
ing Secretary  of  the  Educational  Society  expresses  regret.  We 
have  had  communications  from  eleven  colleges  ;  of  which  one  ex- 
presses more  anxiety  for  uniformity  than  for  any  particular  day ; 
another  seems  to  prefer  no  change,  but  would  like  to  get  the 
impulse  which  might  come  from  such  association  with  the  World's 
Student  Christian  Federation  as  a  change  of  date  would  bring ; 
seven  are  distinctly  opposed  to  a  change  ;  two  distinctly  favor  it. 
Six  pastors  of  prominent  churches  have  written  to  us,  of  whom  two 
are  more  or  less  in  favor  of  a  change,  and  four  oppose  it.  The  secre- 
tary of  the  Board  of  Aid  for  Colleges  is  distinctly  in  favor  of  a  change. 
The  object  of  the  proposed  change  to  the  second  Sabbath  of  February 
is  stated  to  be  that  the  time  may  be  made  **  to  conform  with  the  con- 
ditions of  the  institutions  in  other  lands.** 

COMMUNICATIONS  FROM  THE  GENERAL  ASSEMBLY. 

In  accordance  with  the  request  of  the  General  Assembly  a  care- 
ful examination  has  been  made  of  the  constitution  and  the  charter  of 
the  Board  with  a  view  to  ascertaining  whether  any  change  or 
amendment  in  either  is  necessary  in  order   to  secure  the  full  legal 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION  1 3 

right  to  the  Assembly  of  approval  or  disapproval  of  the  original 
appointment  of  salaried  executive  officers.  We  are  assured  by  our 
legal  adviser  that  no  change  is  necessary  inasmuch  as  by  the  Act  of 
May  1 2th,  187 1,  incorporating  the  Board  of  Education,  the  General 
Assembly  is  vested  with  full  power  in  this  respect. 

In  accordance  with  the  direction  of  the  General  Assembly  that 
**  the  several  Boards  confer  together  as  to  the  possibility  of  agreeing 
upon  the  total  amount  of  money  needed  for  the  work  of  the  Church, 
and  for  the  formulation  of  a  plan  for  the  systematic  raising  of  funds, 
the  Boards  to  report  to  the  next  Assembly,"  the  president  and  the 
corresponding  secretary  were  appointed  to  represent  the  Board  at 
the  conferences  to  be  held  on  this  subject.  The  result  of  the  con- 
ferences was  reported  to  the  Board  and  received  its  endorsement. 
The  difficulties  connected  with  the  whole  matter  of  securing  system- 
atic and  sufficient  contributions  for  our  benevolent  work  are  very 
great,  and  the  Board  is  of  opinion  that  a  satisfactory  solution  has  not 
yet  been  found,  and  that  further  action  is  necessary,  particularly 
with  a  view  to  securing  to  every  congregation  and  to  every  individual 
the  inalienable  right  to  an  opportunity  to  contribute  yearly  to  each 
of  the  great  causes  represented  by  the  several  Boards. 

In  accordance  with  the  invitation  of  the  General  Assembly's 
Committee  on  '*  The  Assembly  Herald,"  and  with  the  suggestion  of 
the  General  Assembly  that  the  production  of  the  magazine  should 
be  accomplished  *  *  in  friendly  conference  with  the  executive  officers 
of  the  Boards,"  the  corresponding  secretary  has  been  in  conference 
with  the  committee  in  behalf  of  the  Board,  and  through  him  the 
Board  has  expressed  its  opinion  on  a  number  of  important  subjects. 
It  considers  that  it  is  desirable  that  each  minister  in  charge  of  a 
congregation  should  receive  the  magazine,  and  that  therefore,  all 
such  ministers  should  be  encouraged  to  subscribe  for  it,  but  that  it 
should  be  sent  free  to  those  who  neglect,  or  are  unable  or  unwilling, 
to  pay  for  it.  Otherwise  the  value  of  the  magazine  as  a  means  of 
constant  and  satisfactory  communicating  of  intelligence  to  all  our 
congregations,  and  so  of  exciting  their  interest  and  stimulating 
their  gifts,  would  be  seriously  diminished.  At  the  same  time 
the  cost  of  this  free  list,  together  with  the  charging  against  the 
meagre  income  of  the  Board  of  the  probable  loss  to  be  incurred  in 
the  publishing  of  the  magazine,  is  felt  to  be  a  burden  heavier  than 
the  Board  feels  content  to  bear,  and  it  accordingly  respectfully  asks 
the  Assembly  to  provide  for  these  expenses,  if  possible,  from  some 


14  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

other  fund.  This  request  is  made  particularly  in  view  of  the  fact 
the  publication  of  the**  Herald,"  while  of  very  decided  advantage, 
does  not  sensibly  diminish  the  bill  which  the  Board  must  yearly 
pay  for  printing,  and  which  is  necessarily  quite  heavy. 

VISITS  PAID. 

In  discharge  of  the  duties  imposed  on  him  by  the  rules  of  the 
Board  the  corresponding  secretary  has  visited  four  synods,  and  a 
number  of  presbyteries,  besides  ten  institutions  of  learning,  making 
many  addresses  and  having  personal  interviews  with  large  numbers 
of  candidates  under  our  care.  He  found,  as  the  written  reports 
from  the  several  institutions  constantly  indicate,  that,  while  a  very 
considerable  proportion  of  the  students  attain  to  a  satisfactory  grade 
in  scholarship,  there  are,  in  some  of  the  schools,  a  certain  number 
who  fall  below  that  grade.  This  appears  to  be  owing,  in  most  cases, 
not  to  indifference  or  lack  of  exertion,  but  mainly  to  lack  of  thorough 
preparation  before  attempting  to  master  the  college  studies,  and  to 
the  necessity  which  some  are  under  to  give  time  and  toil  to  the 
earning  of  money  during  term  time. 

Great  care  has  been  exercised  in  the  few  cases  where  the  marks 
sent  to  us  have  indicated  serious  deficiency.  If  in  such  cases,  after 
correspondence  with  professors  and  education  committees,  there 
seemed  to  be  no  prospect  of  satisfactory  improvement,  the  names  of 
the  deficient  candidates .  have  been  dropped  from  the  roll.  Four 
such  cases  have  occurred  during  the  year  ;  six  have  been  dropped 
on  account  of  their  having  married,  and  two  have  died. 

CANDIDATES  FOR  WORK  AMONG  GERMANS  AND  NEGROES. 

The  Board  has  had  under  its  care  during  the  year  31  candidates 
in  our  two  German  theological  schools,  97  in  our  various  schools 
for  colored  men,  and  7  in  schools  for  Spanish-speaking  students.  It 
has  one  candidate  in  course  of  preparation  for  work  among  French- 
speaking  immigrants  from  Canada,  It  regrets,  however,  to  report 
that  there  appears  to  be  a  singular  dearth  of  candidates  for  work 
among  the  many  thousands  of  immigrants  from  Italy,  Bohemia, 
Scandinavia  and  other  countries.  The  need  of  prayer  for  laborers 
and  for  money  for  educating  them,  as  well  as  for  supporting  them  in 
the  field,  is  most  obvious  and  demands  the  serious  attention  of 
the  whole  Church. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted  by  ordet  of  the  Board. 

Edward  B.  Hodgb, 

Corresponding  Secretary.

44  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE    BOARD   OF   EDUCATION 


APPBNDIX. 


ACTION    OR    THE    GENERAL   ASSEIVIBLY. 


The  Eightieth  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Education  was 
presented  to  the  General  Assembly  in  session  at  Minneapolis,  Minn., 
May,  1899,  and  was  referred  to  the  Standing  Committee  on  Educa- 
tion.    The  Committee  consisted  of  : 

Ministers.  Elders, 

W.  R.  KiRKWOOD,  D.  D.,  Thos.  H.  Spann, 

Chas.  p.  Coit,  D.  D.,  J.  E.  Bebbe, 

Geo.  H.  Hemingway,  Edwin  F.  White, 

G.  A.  P01.LOCK,  D.  D.,  John  D.  Gibson,  Esq. 

John  B.  Reed,  Chari^es  G.  Sands, 

FiNLEY  F.  Kennedy,  Wai.i.ace  Lanning, 

Percy  Y.  Scheli^y,  Wm.  B.  Levet, 

Wali^ce  B.  Lucas,  D.  D.,  Fred.  Henderson, 

T.  Davis  Richards,  F.  C.  Lloyd, 

John  Manuel.  V.  J.  Thobias. 
Gary  F.  Moore. 

The  Committee  subsequently  reported  to  the  General  Assembly, 
and  on  its  recommendation,  the  following  resolutions  were  adopted : 

1,  That  this  Assembly  heartily  commend  the  soundness  of  the 
financial  condition  of  the  Board,  and  the  wisdom  of  its  management. 

2,  That  the  Assembly  express  their  gratification  at  the  large 
degree  of  success  which  has  hitherto  attended  the  eflForts  of  the 
Church  to  secure  a  learned  ministry  through  the  agency  of  this 
Board. 

3,  That  this  Board  is  commended  to  the  churches  as  worthy  of 
a  much  more  generous  support  than  it  has  hitherto  received. 

4,  That  the  attention  of  the  Church  is  called  to  the  fact  that 
while,  up  to  the  report  of  1897,  there  had  been  a  very  gratifying 
increase  in  the  number  of  candidates,  a  decline  has  since  occurred 
the  reasons  for  which  should  be  discovered  if  possible. 

5,  That  this  Assembly  assure  young  men  of  ability,  piety  and 
culture,  that  their  services  are  now  more  than  ever  needed  in  the 
great  work  of  evangelizing  the  world.

6,  That  in  view  of  our  large  foreign  population,  specially  of 
Italians,  Poles,  Bohemians,  Scandinavians,  etc.,  earnest  care  should 
be  given  to  find  suitable  young  men  to  be  trained  for  the  ministry 
among  these  peoples. 

7,  That,  for  this  year,  the  last  Thursday  of  January  be  observed 
as  the  Day  of  Prayer  for  Colleges  and  Academies,  and  that  the 
Assembly  are  not  ready,  without  further  light,  to  change  the  day. 

8,  That  the  Assembly  hereby  confirm  the  action  of  the  Board 
in  electing  George  Pierce,  Esq.,  to  fill  the  vacancy  caused  by  his 
own  resignation,  and  that  of  the  Rev.  Chas.  R.  Erdman  to  succeed

46  ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

Rules  of  the  Board  of  Education 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES  FOR  THE  MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries 
OF  THE  Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry 
of  the  Gospel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ; 
and  the  Presbyteiy  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and 
the  designation  of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the 
limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation 
required  for  the  reception  ot  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the 
same,  until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule,  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose 
examination  and  recommendation  in  conformity  with  its  requirements  proper 
notification  has  been  given  ;  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  canoidates 
beyond  its  ability  to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from 
the  foreign  missionary  field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign 
missionaries  abroad,  or  have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invita- 
tion given  from  this  Board  upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  church 
authorities,  or  of  missionaries  resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a 
matter  of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church  ;  and  it  should  be 
given  only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral 
character,  accompanied  with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single 
desire  for  the  glory  of  God.  Ever>'  candidate  should  join  that  Presbytery  to 
which  he  would  most  naturally  belong ;  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it 
either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some  member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such 
acquaintaince  as  will  warrant  his  taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommen- 
dation for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following 
questions,  to  which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly  wiU 
invariably  be  required  by  the  Board  ;     Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.     Age  ? 
Residence  ?     Has  Presbytery   ( or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  be 
tween  the  meetings  of  Presbytery )  examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and 
were   his  answers  satisfactory ; — Piety  ?    Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ? 
Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  Practical  efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive 
and  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he  been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian 
church?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.     If  in  an  academy,  give  name  of 
academy  and  class.     If  in  College,  or  read;^  to  enter,  give  name  of  College  and 
class.     If  in  Seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name  of  Seminary  and  class.     If 
in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  collegiate  course  ?  If  so,  give 
the  name  of  the  College  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.     If  not  a  college  graduate, 
has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course  ?   If  so,  send  a  detailed  statement 
of  his  previous  studies  and  career.     Has  he  been  recommended  to  Presbytery 
by  his  Church  Session?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter  Catechism? 
What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary  expenses  to 
the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz. ,  April  ist  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the  rules  ?  Docs 
he  accept  the  requirements  con  tamed  in  them  ?  At  a  meeting  of  the  Presbytery  of 

.   ,   .  (or  of  the  Education  Committee)  held  at .   .   .on  the  ....  day  of 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION  47 

...  .  .  189  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above,  having  been  sat- 
isfactorily examined  as  to  the  points  indicatea  by  the  foregoing  questions,  was 
recommended  to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  specified. 
Signed  by  .   .   .  Chairman  Educational  Committee. 

3.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member 
of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  of  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ; 
who  has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  Church 
of  which  he  is  a  member ;  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to 
enter  college,  except  in  extraordinary  cases. 

III.  — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for 
theological  and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  J150 ;  for  those  in  the 
preparatory  course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  jioo. 

2.  These  Scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of 
particular  and  satis&ctory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following 
points  :  Christian  Character  ?  Scholarship  ?  Rhetorical  Ability  ?  Puncuality  ? 
Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish  in  a  general  ratio,  the  Scholarships 
in  case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be 
acknowledged  by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate,  or  by  me  person  author- 
ized by  him  to  receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return 
che  amount  g^ven,  with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from 
his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports 
shall  ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The 
payments  of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between 
those  days  may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students  ;  but 
it  is  expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment 
of  tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close 
of  the  collegiate  year ;  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recom- 
mended by  the  Ptesbyter>'  has  expired  ;  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that 
they  are  suffering  from  prolonged  ill-health  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work 
of  the  ministry  ;  or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to 
dispense  with  assistance :  and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or 
have  contracted  debts  without  reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have 
married  since  the  last  payment,  or  if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any 
other  educational  board  or  society,  the  entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall 
be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it, 
with  interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on,or  continue  in,the  work  of  the 
ministry  (unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented) ;  or  if  he  ceases 
to  adhere  to  the  standards  of  the  Presbjrterian  Cnurch ;  or  if  he  chants  his 
place  of  study  contrary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to 
prosecute  his  studies  at  an  institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board  ;  or 
if  he  withdraws  his  connection  from  the  Cnurch  of  which  this  Board  is  the 
organ,  without  furnishing  a  satisfactory  reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board 
of  Education,  is  not  to  be  g^ven  or  regarded  as  a  loan,  to  be  refunded  by  those 
who  comply  with  these  rules  and  regularly  enter  the  ministry,  but  as  her 
cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite  their  preparation  for  it ;  and 
they  are  only  obliged  by  it  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advance- 
ment of  the  Redeemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means 
necessary  to  instruct  and  stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  multiplying  and 
sending  forth  preachers  of  the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world. 


48  ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE    BOARD   OF   EDUCATION 

lo.  While  the  Church  in  providing  scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes 
no  specific  conditions  as  to  the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministry, 
which  they  will  be  expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological 
training,  nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  they  shall  labor 
nevertheless  her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary  spirit 
as  Christlike,  apostolic,  and  timely,  and  that  it  would  be  highly  becoming  in 
them,  under  all  ordinary  circumstances,  to  offer  their  services,  at  the  conclusion 
of  their  education,  for  work  in  missionary  fiields  ;  ever  remembering  the 
abounding  destitution  in  our  own  country,  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands ;  the 
peculiar  fitness  of  young  men  for  such  work  ;  the  honor  privilege,  and  advan- 
tage pertaining  to  it ;  the  natural  expectations  of  the  Church  which  has  trained 
them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hardness  as  good  soldiers  ;  and,  above 
all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended  Lord. 

IV. — Care  of  Candidates. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course 
of  study,  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with 
the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church ;  and,  when  prepared,  to 
pursue  a  three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected 
with  the  same  Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with 
the  diligent  and  faithful  prosecution  of  tneir  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Pres- 
bytery for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  Candidates,  which  should  include  the 
constant  exercise  of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the 
bestowment  of  the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their 
place  of  study,  their  trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged 
in  study,  in  employments  which  ynW  tena  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness 
as  pastors  or  evangelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates,  by  fur- 
nishing annually  to  the  Education  Committee,  a  summary  of  information  from 
the  professors*  reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding 
Secretary  shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and 
address  them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to 
their  duties  and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by 
his  Presbytery,  if  possible,  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  froni 
the  Session  of  the  Church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be 
made  of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points 
has  been  received,  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Com- 
mittee in  the  interim  of  the  Sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  suffi- 
cient, provided  its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session,  and 
not  countermanded  to  the  Board. 

6.  If,  at  any  time,  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the 
ministry  a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  com- 
municate without  delav  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee 
of  his  Presbytery  ;  and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no 
satisfactory  explanation  of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be 
received  by  the  Board  from  the  Presb)rtery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education 
within  the  current  quarter,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its 
aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination 
of  students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to 
the  instructions  of  the  Form  of  Government  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3) :  and  this 
examination  should  be  conducted  by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satis&ctory 
as  to  the  **  real  piety  "  of  the  students,  **  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced 
them  to  desire  the  sacred  office,'*  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final 
step  towards  assuming  its  great  responsibilities. 


ANNUAL   REPORT  OF  THE   BOARD  OP   EDUCATION  49 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of 
the  Confession  of  Faith,  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  care  who 
request  them. 

V. — Particular  Duties  of  Candidates. 

I.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church,  in  the  establishment  of  the 
Board  of  Education,  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the 
Gospel,  the  young  brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately 
reminded  that  all  intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the 
cultivation  of  piety,  and  that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special 
attention  to  the  practical  duties  of  reli«on,  such  as  reading  the  Scriptures  ; 
secret  prayer  and  meditation  ;  occasional  acts  of  special  consecration  of  them- 
selves to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Redeemer  and  as  the  Lord  of  all ; 

attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and  during  the  week  ;  endeavors 
to  promote  the  salvation  of  others  ;  and  the  exhibition  at  all  times  of  a  piou^ 
and  consistent  example. 

'  2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessaty  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time,  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support,  by  teaching  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first 
obtain  the  consent  of  the  Educabon  Committee  of  the  Presbytery,  or  of  the 
Board ;  and  if, when  given,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three 
months,  his  scholarship  will  be  continued  ;  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued, 
or  continued  in  part  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to 
report  himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  the 
Education  Committee  of  his  Presbytery,  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects; 
and  when  any  of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be 
carried  out  by  teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are 
attended  to,  that  delays  and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as 
expressing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board 

VI. — Exceptional  Casks. 

1.  The  Board  will  not  ordinarily  take  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  any  who  have  not  completed  a  course  preparatory  to  college  If 
exceptional  cases  are  recommended  by  presbyteries  the  Board  should  be 
certified  that  there  has  been  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval  undet 
competent  teachers,  through  two  or  three  years. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  expect  the  benefit  of  scholarships  for  more 
than  two  years  before  entering  college. 


50       ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

Presbyterial   Recommendation    of   a  Candidate    to   ««The   Board  of 
Education  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  U.  5.  A." 


Do  not  use  this  bUuik  for  Candidates  who  have  received  aid  from  the  Board  In  any 

previous  year.     Use  Renewal  Blanks  for  them. 

49*The  Board  of  Hducatioa  has  been  instructed  hereafter  invariably  to  require,  in  connection 
with  the  acceptance  of  a  student,  and  before  promising  him  aid  from  the  fundsof  the  Church,  definite 
answers  to  several  important  questions  which  may  conveniently  be  given  according  to  the  form 
below. 

A  candidate,  in  order  to  receive  aid,  must  have  been  a  member  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or 
some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year ;  be  recommended  to  Presbytery  by  his  church 
session  ;  and  except  in  extraordinary  cases  (colored  students,  and  those  of  foreign  populations, 
eapecially,)  be  prepared  to  enter  college. 

The  recommendation,  both  by  church  session  and  Presbytery  must  be  renewed  annually,  if 
possible  at  the  spring  meeting  of  the  Presbytery,  and  should  state  the  lowest  possible  amount, 
within  the  limits  set  by  the  General  Assembly  that  the  candidate  requires  to  meet  his  necessary 
expenses  for  the  year.

EIGHTY-FIRST  ANNUAL  REPORT. 


The  Board  of  Education  respectfully  reports  to^the  General  ABsem- 
blj  that  the  year  just  ended,  being  the  eighty-first  year  of  its  existence, 
has  been  marked  by  an  unusual  manifestation  of  interest  throughout 
the  Church  in  the  whole  work  of  Ministerial  Education.  On  the '  one 
hand,  the  alleged  over-supply  of  ministers  has  led  some  to  raise  the  ques- 
tion whether  too  much  encouragement,  and  perhaps  too  much  assistance, 
have  not  been  given  to  men  who  have  offered  themselves  for  the  sacred 
office.  On  the  other  hand,  the  most  serious  anxiety  and  alarm  have 
been  expressed  by  others  in  view  of  the  ^t  that,  for  several  years  past, 
there  has  been  in  our  Church  as  well  as  in  some,  at  least,  of  the  Presby- 
terian Churches  beyond  the  sea,  a  steady  decrease  in  the  numbelr  of  candi- 
dates for  the  ministry.  Still  further,  some,  after  scanning  the  ranks  of 
the  present  ministry,  have  raised  the  question  whether  in  knowledge,  cul- 
ture and  practical  power  the  men  composing  it  are  in  general  equal  to 
the  emergencies  which  have  arisen  in  the  business,  social  and  religious 
world  of  our  time;  whether  unworthy  men  are  not  tolerated  in  the 
ranks,  to  say  nothing  of  those  who  are  evidently  without  special  force 
of  character,  spirituality  and  consecration.  This  awakened  interest  has 
displayed  itself  partly  in  the  Inter-Presbyterial  Conference  held  at 
Sewickley,  Pa.,  in  June  of  last  year,  and  in  the  action  of  the  Presbytery 
of  Chicago,  who  requested  the  Greneral  Assembly  to  appoint  a  Special 
Committee  to  consider  and  report  upon  the  whole  matter  of  Ministerial 
Education.  The  results  of  the  Sewickley  Conference,  which  collated  the 
views  of  delegates  from  presbyteries  in  western  Pennsylvania^and  eastern 
Ohio,  and  of  representatives  of  theological  seminaries,  and  of  the  Board 
of  Education,  have  been  published  in  an  interesting  and  valuable 
pamphlet,  and  the  results  of  the  labors  of  the  Committee  [appointed  by 
the  General  Assembly  of  1899  are  given  in  their  report  to  this  year's 
Assembly. 

If  we  look  at  the  present  ministerial  force  of  our  Church,  while  we 
cannot  fail  to  be  deeply  impressed  by  the  high  standing  of  almost  all 
who  belong  to  it,  ^e  shall  undoubtedly  find  occasional  exceptions  to  the 
rule.  Some  few  have  at  times  obtained  places  in  the  Presbyterian  min- 
istry after  having  been  discredited  in  other  denominations  or  possibly 


4  ANNUAL   REPORT   OP   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION. 

after  having  been  cast  out.  Some  other  few  have  undoubtedly  arisen 
from  among  our  own  selves,  and  are  the  product  of  our  own  schools. 
No  amount  of  watchfulness  and  care  will  avail  to  prevent  the  evil 
entirely.  Brazen-faced  hypocrisy  may  long  avoid  detection.  The 
incompetent  man  and  the  fanatic  can  be  more  easily  discovered.  The 
parties  chiefly  responsible  for  the  work  of  prevention  and  detection  are 
the  presbyteries,  the  faculties  of  our  colleges  and  seminaries,  and  the 
Board  of  Education.  Presbyteries  will  do  well  to  heed  the  suggestions 
of  the  Sewickley  Conference,  at  least  in  these  particulars:  (1)  Enlarge 
and  strengthen  the  Committee  of  Education,  putting  on  it  some  of  the 
wisest  and  best  men  in  the  presbytery;  (2)  Entrust  to  them  the  exam- 
ination of  candidates  with  respect  to  personal  religion  and  motives  for 
seeking  the  ministry — and  we  would  suggest  that  the  preliminary  exam- 
ination should  be  before  the  committee  in  private;  (3)  Hold  special 
meetings  for  the  examination  of  candidates  for  licensure .  or  ordination 
in  cases  where  full  time  cannot  otherwise  be  allowed  for  the  all-impor- 
tant work;  (4)  Combine  written  with  oral  examinations  for  the  better 
testing  of  the  candidates;  (5)  Stir  up  interest,  diffuse  information,  in- 
crease zeal,  honor  the  holy  cause  by  providing  for  an  annual  sermon  on 
Ministerial  Education;  (6)  Enter  into  and  maintain  correspcndence 
with  other  presbyteries  in  order  that  the  same  standard  of  strict  atten- 
tion to  the  watch  and  care  of  candidates  may  everywhere  prevwl  for  the 
common  advantage  and  protection.  A  heavy  responsihilUy  rests  upon 
the  faculties  of  the  institutions  in  which  our  candidates  pursue  their 
studies.  The  student  life  of  the  young  men  is  spent  under  their  observa- 
tion, and  the  presbyteries  and  the  Board  are  dependent  upon  their  fidel- 
ity in  reporting  any  delinquencies  both  as  to  scholarship  and  conduct. 
In  this  connection  the  Board  calls  the  renewed  attention  of  presbyteries 
to  the  rule  which  requires  that  candidates  shall  be  sent,  as  far  as  possible, 
to  colleges  in  sympathy  with  the  Presbyterian  Church.  The  atmosphere 
of  such  institutions  is  more  congenial,  and,  in  addition,  there  is  better 
prospect  of  a  sympathetic  watch  over  character  and  conduct. 

The  Board  of  Education  recognize  their  responsihilUy j  and  they  assure 
the  Assembly  that  they  have  used  diligence  to  restrict  the  Church's 
encouragement  and  assistance  to  men  who  give  evidence  of  being  cajled 
of  God.  They  have  been  careful  to  make  known  delinquencies,  re- 
vealed by  professors'  reports,  to  the  presbyteries,  and  have  withheld 
appropriations  from  those  who  appeared  to  be  negligent  and  unfaithfuL

ENTRANCE  EXAMINATIONS. 

Somehow  the  impression  seems  to  exist  that,  in  spite  of  all  that  the 
Church  has  done  to  secure  for  herself  a  truly  learned  ministry,  in  spite  of 
her  extraordinary  success  in  getting  her  candidates  to  take  a  full  classical 
course  in  college,  the  average  minister  of  to-day  is  not  quite  the  equal  of 
the  average  minister  of  the  early  days  in  solid  literary  acquirements.    There 
maybe  some  reason  for  this  impression  in  the  facts  of  the  case.     Investi- 
gations carefully  pursued  lead  to  the  conclusion  that  the  possession  of  the 
degree  of  A.B.  does  not  give  perfectly  satisfactory  evidence  that  the 
possessor  has  the  learning  for  which  that  degree  is  supposed  to  stand.     It 
would  seem  to  be  true  that  probably  a  majority  of  our  students  in  all 
our  theological  schools  have  failed  to  get  a  sufficient  training  in  one  or 
more  studies  so  truly  fundamental  for  a  theological  course  as  Latin, 
.  Gi'eek,  philosophy,   history  and  English   (^Academic  Preparation  for  the 
Seminary y  by  Dr.  W.  Brenton  Greene,  Jr.).     Yet  these  students,  almost 
without  exception,  are  college  graduates.     Our  Presbyteries,  as  well  as 
our  theological  seminaries,  have  fallen  very  much  into  the  habit  of 
accepting  the  college  degree  as  sufficient  evidence  of  academic  prepara- 
tion.    It  would  seem  now  that  more  must  be  required;  and  that,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  college  diploma,  an  examination  must  be  held  in  order  to 
ascertain  whether  the  college  has  afforded  the  opportunities  needed  and 
whether  the  candidate  has  made  sufficient  use  of  the  opportunities  at  his 
hand.     It  is  not  easy  to  express  in  language  with  sufficient  emphasis 
the  importance  of  insisting  upon  an  adequate  training  for  our  coming 
ministry.     The   extraordinary  power  and  influence  of  the  ministry  in 
the  early  days  of  the  history  of  our  country  were  undoubtedly  due,  not 
merely  to  the  general  respect  paid  to  their  office  and  to  their  piety  and 
zeal,  but  also  in  large  degree  to  their  varied  and  extensive  learning.     It 
was  this  which  made  them  equal  to  the  emergencies  of  that  time,  and 
enabled  them  to  plan  so  wisely,  not  for  their  own  generation  simply,  but 
the  generations  which  were  to  come  after  them.     The  exigencies  of  our 
time  are  great,   and  our  responsibility  is  heavy  in  respect  to  our  duty 
concerning  the  future  of  this  great  country.     If  our  ministers  are  to 
be  leaders  in  an  age  like  ours,  we  must  see  to  it  that  they  have  the  learn- 
ing which  will  make  them  respected  and  by  which  they  shall  be  quali- 
fied to  meet  the  peculiar  exigencies  of  the  present  situation. 

So  much  has  already  been  accomplished  by  means  of  the  well- 
devised  plans  of  our  Church  that  our  ministry,  taken  as  a  whole,  is  far 
in  advance  of  the  other  professions  with  respect  to  the  general  culture 


6  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION. 

and  learning  of  the  body  of  men  composing  it.  We  would  be  extremely 
foolish,  however,  were  we  to  remain  content  with  our  achievements, 
however  creditable,  if  we  are  conscious  of  faults  which  should  be  cor- 
rected and  of  improvements  which  may  be  made  with  advantage.  Nor 
would  we,  in  advocating  new  measures  for  raising  the  standard  aa  to 
learning,  exaggerate  its  importance  as  compared  with  the  culture  of 
piety  and  the  awakening  of  holy  enthusiasm  in  the  service  of  Christ 
Our  personal  observation  leads  us  to  the  conclusion  that  very  helpful 
influences,  leading  to  the  development  of  piety  and  zeal,  surround  our 
candidates  in  a  large  proportion  of  the  institutions  in  which  they  are  pur- 
suing their  studies,  especially  in  the  theological  seminaries.  We  believe, 
hoi7ever,  that  these  influences  may  be  made,  and  that  they  ought  to  be 
made,  more  positive  and  more  abundant.  We  believe  that  pastors  of 
candidates  and  Education  Committees  may  be  of  the  greatest  service  to 
the  young  men  under  their  care  by  comine  into  dose  personal  relations 
with  them,  and  particularly  by  having  them  for  a  portion  of  the  year  in 
their  own  homes  as  assistants  in  their  work,  where  they  may  get  the  in- 
spiration for  service  which  comes  from  near  relations  with  godly  men 
deeply  engaged  in  the  active  duties  of  the  holy  ministry.  We  earnestly 
plead  for  a  yet  higher  standard  of  piety  and  zeal,  as  well  as  of  learning 
for  our  new  generation  of  ministers. 

UNITY   OF   ACTION   NECESSARY. 

The  cooperation  of  presbyteries  with  each  other  in  the  adoption  of 
common  measures  for  keeping  a  high  standard  in  these  respects,  and  for 
carrying  into  effect  the  provisions  of  our  Book,  is  of  the  first  importance. 
Instances  are  not  wanting  to  show  that  candidates  will  sometimes  have 
their  church  membership  and  their  presbyterial  relationship  changed 
with  the  apparent  purpose  of  coming  under  the  care  of  a  session  or 
presbytery  which  they  imagine  may,  through  indifference,  carelesness  or 
ignorance,  pass  them  on  when  in  imminent  danger  of  being  arrested 
in  their  course  and  rejected.  A  presbytery  may  also  yield  to  the 
temptation  to  ordain  an  imperfectly  qualified  man  for  the  exigencies 
of  some  particular  field  of  their  own  for  which  they  think  he  can  be 
made  to  answer,  forgetting  that  he  may  in  a  month  or  two,  be  asking 
for  a  letter  of  dismission  to  another  presbytery  which  will  be  expected 
to  receive  him  in  full  standing  with  all  his  disabilities.  The  Board  of 
Education,  through  its  entire  history,  has  been  an  important  bond  of  union 
and  a  means  of  communication  of  one  presbytery  with  another  on  these 
important  matters.     Its  records  preserve   the  history  of  candidates  so 


ANNUAL  REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF  EDUCATION.  '     7 

that  it  is  able  to  put  presbyteries  on  their  guard  wheu  they  are  in  danger 
of  being  misled,  and  the  rules  under  which  it  conducts  its  operations, 
being  the  expression  of  the  views  of  the  whole  Church  on  the  subject  of 
the  proper  training  of  candidates  for  the  ministry,  serve  as  a  constant 
reminder  to  the  presbyteries  of  the  solemn  covenant  to  which  our  Book 
of  Government  binds  them,  to  the  intent  that  in  all  parts  of  the  Church 
men  may  be  admitted  to  the  sacred  office  under  the  same  conditions. 

THE   CARE   OF   PROBATIONERS. 

We  desire,  at  this  point,  to  express  in  the  strongest  manner  our 
conviction  that  the  watch  and  care  exercised  by  presbyteries  over  can- 
didates ought  not  to  cease  when  the  candidates  have  been  graduated 
from  the  theological  seminary.  Our  Church  works  on  the  theory  that 
the  candidate  is  already  enlisted  in  her  service  when  she  takes  him  under 
care  and  proceeds  to  educate  him  in  the  way  which  she  prescribes  as  suit- 
able for  the  purpose  she  has  in  view.  She  invests  her  money  in  him 
and  watches  over  him  until  she  is  satisfied  that  he  is  fitted  to  undertake 
the  work  for  the  sake  of  which  the  education  was  given  and  the  expense 
incurred.  This  is  the  theory,  and  it  is  fairly  well  carried  into  effect  up 
to  the  conclusion  of  the  trials  for  licensure.  The  young  man  is,  how- 
ever, but  a  probationer  for  the  ministry.  The  final  test  must  come  by 
giving  him  an  opportunity  to  try  his  gifte  before  the  people  in  order 
that  there  may  be,  by  their  recognition  of  his  aptness  to  teach,  a  war- 
rant for  his  ordination.  The  presbyteries  ought  surely  to  see  to  it  that 
such  an  opportunity  is  given  to  their  probationers  immediately  upon 
their  graduation  from  the  seminary.  It  ought  not  to  be  difficult  to  make 
appointments  for  them  to  preach  in  the  pulpits  of  the  several  pastors  or 
in  mission  stations  under  the  direction  of  the  Mission  Committee,  or  else 
to  put  them  into  the  homes  of  ministers  to  serve  for  a  time  as  assistants. 

SCHOLARSHIP    AID. 

The  wisdom  of  the  Church's  system  of  scholarship  aid  has  again 
been  earnestly  called  in  question  during  the  year.  It  is  a  circumstance 
worthy  of  notice  that  no  new  arguments  have  been  adduced.  The  objec- 
tions are  precisely  the  same  as  those  which  were  current  eighty  years  ago 
when  the  Board  of  Education  was  organized.  The  necessity  of  money 
is,  however,  apparent  for  the  getting  of  an  education;  the  importance  of 
good  food  and  sufficient  clothing,  in  order  to  the  health  and  efficiency  of 
the  candidate,  is  plainly  manifest;  while  at  the  same  time,  a  condition  of 
poverty  is  the  rule  with  our  students,  and  vacations  do  not  ordinarily 


8         ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OP  EDUCATION. 

afford  sufficient  opportunity  to  acquire  what  is  absolutely  necesBary  for 
support.  The  experience  of  many  years  makes  it  clear  that  in  some 
way  money  must  be  provided  to  make  possible  the  acquiring  of  the  train- 
ing which  the  Church  makes  a  condition  of  ordination.  As  this  can- 
not be  denied,  the  emphasis  of  objection  is  laid  on  the  charge  that  the 
scholarships  are  ''indiscriminately"  given.  Every  one  of  the  rules 
under  which  this  trust  is  administered  constitutes  a  refutation  of  this 
charge.  The  administration  is,  of  course,  not  always  perfect ;  but,  such 
as  it  is,  it  has  been  instrumental  in  introducing  into  the  ministry  probably 
eight  or  nine  thousand  men  who  with  relatively  very  few  exceptions  have 
shown  themselves  worthy  of  their  high  calling.  The  method  adopted  by 
our  Church,  if  applied  to  medical  or  law  schools,  so  far  from  degrading 
or  demoralizing  them,  as  asserted,  would  certainly  be  followed  by  the 
best  results.  Its  discriminating  rules  insist  on  high  character,  a  con- 
sistent Christian  life,  health,  talents,  aptitude,  colle^te  preparatory 
training,  fidelity  in  study,  frequent  and  satisfactory  reports,  ponctuality 
in  attendance  and  economy  in  living.  Such  requirements  as  these  would, 
beyond  all  question,  restrict  the  attendance  to  the  purest  and  the  most 
promising  men. 

RELATION   TO   SEMINARY   SCHOLARSHIPS. 

The  problem  of  administering  the  scholarship  funds  of  the  Church 
is  complicated  by  the  fact  that  during  the  seminary  course  there  are  two 
boards  of  administration.  The  scholarship  aid  given  by  the  Boartl  of 
E<iucation  being  insufficient,  additional  assistance  is  given  from  the 
scholarship  funds  of  the  several  seminaries.  In  one  of  the  seminaries 
the  attempt  is  made  to  produce  entire  harmony  of  administration  by  the 
adoption  of  a  nde  to  the  efiect  that  the  r^ulations  whidi  the  Generai 
Assembly  requires  the  Board  of  Education  to  observe  shall  govern  the 
management  of  the  scholarship  funds  of  the  seminary.  Probably  similar 
action  might  well  be  taken  by  all  the  seminaries.  There  would  be  no 
hardship  involved,  for  wise  provision  is  made  for  those  exoepdooal 
cases  which  are  sure  to  occur. 

It  is  quite  passible  that  some  additional  precautions  might  be 
adopted  to  make  abuse  of  these  sacred  funds  less  and  less  frequent. 
Wo  urge,  however,  that  all  proposed  precautions  be  so  taken  that  do 
dishonor  in  the  lease  be  put  upon  poverty,  which  may  be  a  much  mone 
honorable  condition  than  wealth;  and  that  no  candidate  be  made  to 
feel  that  he  is  in  any  way  hunuliating  himself  in  accepting  the  Church*} 
assistance  while  he  pursues  the  long  and  arduous  course  of  training  wbidi 
she  marks  cot  for  him,  provided  only  he  is  himself  udng  all  diKgenee  to 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  9 

provide  for  his  own  needs  and  is  taking  tlie  Church's  gift  to  supplement 
the  fruit  of  his  own  toil.  Not  a  few  students  have  seriously  injured 
their  health  and  greatly  shortened  their  days  of  useful  labdr  by  practising 
economy  beyond  the  bounds  of  prudence  in  order  to  avoid  the  necessity 
of  accepting  the  supplementary  ud  of  a  scholarship.  We  must  not, 
while  making  the  effort  to  keep  the  unscrupulous  from  abusing  the 
Church's  assistance,  neglect  the  obvious  duty  of  encouraging  such  as 
shrink  through  excess  of  sensitiveness  from  accepting  the  aid  which  is 
essential  for  their  physical  and  mental  strength  while  prosecuting  their 
studies.  The  rule  which  prevails  in  the  seminaries  that  application  must 
first  be  made  to  the  Board  of  Education,  and  the  understanding  that  the 
aid  of  the  Board  as  supplemented  by  that  of  the  seminary  shall  not 
exceed  a  certain  sum,  are  probably  all  the  regulations  necessary  under 
existing  circumstances  to  prevent  misunderstanding  and  friction. 

FINANCIAL   CONDITION. 

About  a  year  ago,  just  after  the  books  were  closed,  a  contribution  of 
$5500  was  given  for  the  purpose  of  canceling  the  debt  of  $5437.50, 
which  ^^as  the  unpaid  balance  of  the  debt  of  $17,600  that  was  reported 
to  the  General  Assembly  of  1896.  This  contribution  was  acknowledged 
in  a  foot  note  in  the  Report  for  last  year,  but  constitutes  pari  of  the  total 
of  $77,763.10  received  by  the  treasurer  during  the  year  just  ended. 
The  calculation  made  by  the  Board  at  its  meeting  in  June,  1899,  as  to 
probable  receipts  and  expenditures  during  the  ensuing  year  was  pru- 
dently made  on  the  supposition  that  the  receipts  from  churches.  Sabbath- 
schools  and  societies  would  be  about  the  same  as  during  the  year  1898-99, 
and  no  chances  were  taken  as  to  the  possible  receipt  of  some  large  indi- 
vidual contributions.  Accordingly  it  was  not  thought  prudent  to  make 
any  increase  in  the  rate  of  scholarship  aid,  desirable  as  an  increase 
seemed  to  be.  The  scholarships  for  college  and  seminary  students  were 
limited  to  S75,  and  to  $65  for  preparatory  students.  The  general  accu- 
racy of  these  conservative  estimates  was  justified  by  the  event.  It  was 
most  gratifying,  however,  that  an  increase  of  •  gifts  from  churches. 
Sabbath-schools  and  societies,  hoped-for  but  not  counted  upon,  actually 
occurred  to  the  amount  of  about  $2000.  In  addition  to  this  there^came 
to  the  treasury  shortly  before  the  close  of  the  financial  year  an  indi- 
vidual contribution  of  $5000.  It  is  under  these  circumstances  that  the 
Board  is  able  to  enter  upon  the  work  of  the  year  before  it  with  a  bal- 
ance of  $7,216.41  in  the  treasury.  They  now  at  last  entertain  the  hope 
of  beiug  able  with  the  help  of  this  balance  to  restore  the  scholarships  for

college  and  seminary  students  to  880,  and  to  870  for  students  in  the 
preparatory  course. 

The  following  table  will  show  what  has  been  received  during  four 
years  from  all  sources  exclusive  of  legacies : 

1897 $56,883,  beside  $415  from  "Anniversary  Reanion  Fund." 

1898 166,928. 

189  $61,912,  beside  $10,000  for  the  Permanent  Fund. 

1900 $65,800,  beside  $5437  special  for  debt. 

SPECIAL  SCHOLARSHIPS. 

The  Board  are  happy  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  amount  of  82500 
has  been  paid  intx)  the  treasury  in  the  course  of  the  year,  on  account  of 
the  bequest  of  Rev.  D.  S.  Banks,  D.D.,  and  that  the  same  has  been 
invested  to  constitute  a  scholarship  bearing  his  name.  The  income  dur- 
ing the  past  year,  amounting  to  8125,  was  awarded  to  Samuel  X.  Cross, 
a  student  in  the  sophomore  class  of  Coe  College,  whose  high  marks  for 
character,  rhetorical  ability  and  scholarship  entitle  him  to  special  con- 
sideration. 

In  addition  to  the  Newberry  Scholarship,  yielding  about  8500,  and 
the  Secretary's  Scholarship,  pelding  about  $300,  seventeen  scholar- 
ships of  $100,  or  more,  have  been  at  the  disposal  of  the  Board  during 
the  vear, 

CANDIDATES. 

The  number  of  candidates  enrolled  during  the  year  under  the  care 
of  the  Board  is  716,  being  twenty-nine  less  than  in  the  previous  year. 
There  were  23  in  the  preparatory  course,  294  in  collie  and  399 
iu  the  various  theological  seminaries.  Three  of  the  candidates  are 
Bohemian,  five  are  Spanish -speaking  students,  thirty -one  are  German 
and  sixty-seven  are  negroes. 

Four  hundred  and  twenty-three  of  the  candidates  have  been  marked 
**  high  '*  or  **  medium  plus  "  in  scholarship.  It  must  be  said  for  some 
of  those  who  are  for  the  present  marked  no  higher  than  '*  medium  " 
that  not  a  few  of  them  may  be  quite  as  promising  as  those  who  have 
attained  a  higher  grade.  Some  have  entered  upon  coUege  studies  with 
imperfect  preparation,  and  are  compelled  to  devote  much  time  and  pains 
to  the  working  off  of  **  conditions." 

Eight  have  died  since  the  last  Report  and  three  have  been  com- 
pelled to  turn  aside,  at  least  for  a  time,  from  their  studies  on  account  of 
impaired  health  or  on  account  of  the  necessity  of  devoting  time  to  the 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION.        11 

earning   of  the  necessary  means  for  the  prosecution  of    their  studies. 
Nine  have  been  dropped  from  tiie  roll  on  account  of  having  married. 

Attention  has  already  been  called  in  the  beginning  of  this  report  to 
the  decrease  in  the  number  of  candidates  which  shows  no  sign  of  abate- 
ment up  to  date.  The  existing  indisposition  on  the  part  of  the  sons  of 
the  Church  to  offer  their  services  for  the  ministry  is  an  indication  of  a 
low  spiritual  condition  in  our  families  and  our  congregations,  gives  occa- 
sion for  anxiety  and  calls  for  humiliation  and  prayer. 

Inactivity  with  regard  to  such  a  matter  as  the  selection  and  training 
of  a  ministry  sufficient  in  numbers  and  general  equipment  for  the  mo- 
mentous and  inspiring  work  which  present  conditions  open  before  the  eyes 
of  God's  people  throughout  the  world  is  nothing  less  than  criminal.  A 
quickened  conscience  on  this  subject  would  lead  to  penitenoe,  confession, 
sincere  desire  and  earnest  prayer;  pastors  and  presbyteries  would  awake  to 
the  duty,  too  slovenly  performed  in  the  past,  of  guarding  the  ministry 
both  from  diminution  and  deterioration ;  a  new  demand  would  be  made 
for  more  decided  religious  influences  at  our  colleges  and  other  institutions 
of  learning;  pious  parents  would  renew  the  ancient  custom  of  consecrating 
and  training  their  children  for  the  service  of  the  Redeemer,  and  with  a 
special  view  to  the  perpetuation  of  the  ministry;  and  new  zeal  would  be 
displayed  by  ministers  in  magnifying  their  office  and  living  in  the  con- 
stant appreciation  of  the  fact  that  they  are  called  to  be  the  ambassadors 
of  God  to  speak  with  authority  and  power  in  his  name  to  dying  men. 

There  has  been  no  little  danger  that  the  multiplied  meetings  and 
organizations  for  the  very  laudable  purpose  of  exciting  interest  in  the 
various  departments  of  missionary  activity  may  have  the  effect  of  divert- 
ing attention  from  the  equally  important  and  pressing  obligation  to  pro- 
vide a  suitable  number  of  thoroughly  trained  workers  for  the  prosecution 
of  pastoral  and  evangelistic  work.  The  suggestion,  therefore,  that  pres- 
byteries take  measures  to  have  an  annual  sermon  preached  on  the  sub- 
ject of  the  Ministry  of  the  Gospel  is  a  most  excellent  one,  as  tending  to 
keep  the  subject  more  prominently  in  mmd  and  giving  it  that  place  of 
consideration  and  honor  which  its  importance  demands. 

THE   VISITATION   OF  STUDENTS. 

The  corresponding  secretary,  in  accordance  with  the  duty  imposed 
upon  him  under  the  rules  of  the  Board,  has  visited  as  many  of  the 
students  at  the  institutions  at  which  they  were  pursuing  their  studies  as 
time  and  opportunity  permitted.  The  institutions  visited  included  Lin- 
coln Univewity,  Princeton  Seminary,  Wabash  College,  Wooster  Univer- 


12        ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION. 

sity,  Hanover  College,  the  German  Theological  School  of  the  Northwest, 
and  the  West  Jersey  Academy  at  Bridgeton,  N.  J.  on  the  occasion  of 
the  Day  of  Prayer  for  Colleges.  These  visits  afforded  the  opportunity 
in  a  number  of  cases  of  preaching  to,  or  addressing,  the  whole  body  of 
students  collectively,  besides  having  conferences  with  those  who  were 
already  avowed  candidates  for  the  ministry.  Personal  conferences  with 
college  presidents  and  professors  in  the  colleges  and  in  the  seminaries 
have  been  of  great  assistance  in  forming  a  judgment  with  reference  to 
students  whose  cases  were  more  or  less  doubtful. 

^"^  In  this  connection  the  Board  expresses  the  hope  that  the  General 
Assembly  will  be  pleased  to  recommend  that  the'  last  Thursday  in  Janu- 
ary be  observed  as  a  day  of  prayer  for  schools  and  colleges.  There  is 
abundant  evidence  to  show  that  the  observance  of  this  day  continues  to 
be  a  source  of  great  blessing,  and  under  existing  circumstances  the  need 
of  earnest  prayer  with  reference  to  the  whole  subject  of  the  consecration 
of  young  men  to  the  service  of  their  Redeemer  is  of  pressing  importance. 

MEMBERSHIP   OF  THE   BOARD. 

The  Board  reported  to  the  General  Assembly  of  last  year  that  they 
had  elected  as  a  member  of  their  body,  subject  to  the  approval  of  the 
General  Assembly,  the  Bev.  Charles  B.  Erdman,  of  Germantown. 
They  now  report  that  Mr.  Erdman,  after  careful  consideration  of  the  sub- 
ject, informed  them  that  he  could  not,  with  propriety,  add  to  his  already 
multiplied  duties  the  additional  ones  which  would  be  involved  by  serving 
as  a  member  of  the  Board.  The  Rev.  Lewis  S.  Mudge,  of  Trenton, 
was  then  chosen  to  fill  the  vacant  place  and  serve  until  the  meeting  of 
the  General  Assembly. 

The  term  of  service  of  the  following  members  expires  at  this  time: 
Bobert  Hunter,  D.D.,  Charles  Wadsworth,  Jr.,  D.D.,  Lewis  S.  Mudge, 
Charles  H.  Matthews,  Esq.,  George  W.  Bailey,  M.D.,  George  Pierce, 
Esq. 

At  the  annual  election,  held  on  the  12th  of  June  last,  George  D. 
Baker,  D.D.,  was  chosen  President;  James  M.  Crowell,  D.D.,  Vice- 
President;  Edward  B.  Hodge,  D.D.,  Corresponding  Secietary,  and  Jacob 
Wilson,  Treasurer. 

All  of  which  is  respectfully  submitted  by  order  of  the  Board, 

Edward  B,  Hodqe, 

Corresponding  Secretary.

APPENDIX. 


ACTION  OF  THE  GEXERAL  ASSEMBLY. 


The  Eighty.first  Annual  Report  of  the  Board  of  Education  was 
presented  to  the  General  Assembly  in  session  at  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  May, 
1900,  and  was  referred  to  the  Standing  Committee  on  Education.  The 
Committee  consisted  of 


Ministers. 

Geo.  B.  Stewabt,  D.D., 
David  H.  Barkon,  D.D., 

A.  WoolJRUPP  Halset,  D.D., 

B.  Canfield  Jones,  D.D., 
William  W.  Paris,  D.D., 
James  H.  Malcom,  D.D., 
Harry  Nyce, 

RoBT.  W.  Reynolds, 
James  McFarland, 
James  G.  Galbreath, 
H.  A.  Gibson, 


Elders, 

William  Irwin, 
Matthew  Kerb, 
Robert  LaGranoe,  M.D., 
Robert  L.  Ewing, 
John  C.  Johnson,  M.D., 
Samuel  McComb, 
John  C.  McBurney, 
J.  S.  Featherstone, 
Cyrus  S.  Clason, 
W.  H.  Wherritt. 


The  Committee  subsequently  reported  to  the  General  Assembly, 
and  on  its  recommendation  the  following  resolutions  were  adopted : 

1.  That  presbyteries  are  recommended  to  strengthen  their  Commit- 
tees of  Education  by  putting  on  them  the  wisest  men  in  the  presbytery ; 
to  entrust  to  them  the  examination  of  candidates  with  respect  to  personal 
religion  and  motives  for  seeking  the  ministry ;  to  hold  special  meetings 
for  the  examination  of  candidates  for  licensure  or  ordination  where  full 
time  cannot  otherwise  be  allowed  for  the  all-important  work ;  to  combine 
written  wuth  oral  examinations  for  the  better  testing  of  candidates ;  to 
enter  into  and  maintain  correspondence  with  other  presbyteries  in  order 
that  the  same  standard  of  strict  attention  to  the  watch  and  care  of  candi- 
dates may  everywhere  prevail  for  the  common  advantage  and  protection. 

2.  That  the  attention  of  presbyteries,  presbyterial  committees  on 
education,  pastors  and  sessions  is  called  to  the  fact  that  more  than  one- 
half  of  our  churches  made  no  contribution  to  this  Board  during  the  past 
year,  and  that  they  earnestly  advise  them  to  use  diligent  efforts  to  in- 
crease the  number  of  contributing  churches  this  year. 

3.  That  the  last  Thursday  in  January  is  set  apart  as  the  day  of 


42  ANNUAL  REPORT   OF  THE.  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION. 

prayer  for  colleges,  seminaries  and  schools  of  learning,  and  that  our 
churches  be  called  to  observe  the  same  by  appropriate  services. 

4.  That  the  records  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Board  are  approved, 
and  that  the  diligence  and  wisdom  of  the  Board,  its  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer, are  commended. 

5.  That  the  Rev.  Robert  Hunter,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Charles  Wadsworth, 
Jr.,  D.  D.,  Rev.  Lewis  S.  Mudge,  Charles  H.  Mathews,  Esq.,  George  W. 
Bailey,  M.  D.,  and  George  Peirce,  Esq.,  whose  terms  of  service  expire  at 
this  time,  are  reelected  as  members  of  the  Board  to  serve  for  three  years. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Geo.  B.  Stewart,  Chairman. 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  43 

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES    FOR    THE    MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Presbyteries  of 

THE  Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of 
the  Groepel  only  upon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ;  and  the 
Presbytery  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designa- 
tion of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by 
the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of 
the  Presbytery  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  re- 
quired for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  also  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same 
until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examina- 
tion and  recommendation,  in  conformity  with  its  requirements,  proper  notification 
has  been  given,  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability 
to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  from  the  foreign  miasionaiy 
field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign  missionaries  abroad,  or 
have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board 
upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  Church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries 
resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II. — Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  mat- 
ter of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church,  and  it  should  be  given 
only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  ac- 
companied with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single  desire  for  the 
glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most 
naturally  belong,  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some 
member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his 
taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbyteiy,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommenda- 
tion for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to 
which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly,  will  invariably  be  required 
by  the  Board  :  Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age?  Residence?  Has  Presby- 
teiy (or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  between  the  meetings  of  Presby- 
tery) examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory : 
Piety?  Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  Talents  ?  Health  ?  Promise  of  prac- 
tical efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive  and  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he 
been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian  church  ?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.  If 
in  an  academy,  give  name  of  academy  and  class.  If  in  college,  or  ready  to  enter, 
give  name  of  college  and  class.  Ii  in  seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name 
of  seminary  and  class.  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  col- 
legiate course?  If  so,  give  the  name  of  the  college  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.  If 
not  a  college  graduate,  has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course?  If  so,  send 
a  detailed  statement  of  his  previous  studies  and  career.  Has  he  been  recommended 
to  Presbytery  by  his  Church  Session  ?  Can  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter 
Catechism  ?  What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary 
expenses  to  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz. :  April  1  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the 
rules  ?    Does  he  accept  the  requirements  contained  in  them  ?    At  a  meeting  of  the 


44  ANNUAL  REPORT   OF  THE  BOARD  OP   EDUCATION. 

Presbytery  of  .  .  .  .  (or  of  the  Education  Committee)  held  at  .  .  .  .on 
the  .  .  .  day  of  .  .  .  .19  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  abore, 
having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the  points  indicated  by  the  foregoiog 
questions,  was  recommended  to  the  Board  of  Education  for  aid  to  the  amount  sped- 
ned.    Signed  by  ...     .     Chairman  Ednoational  Committee. 

3.  Every  candidate  seeking  aid  from  the  funds  of  the  Board  of  Edncatlon  is  re- 
quired to  set  forth  in  a  paper  over  his  own  signature  the  extent  of  his  inability  to 
provide  for  himself  the  necessary  funds  for  his  education.  The  same  paper  ^ball 
contain  his  pledge  that  he  will  refund  to  the  Board  of  Education  all  moneys  re- 
ceived by  him  therefrom  in  any  of  the  contingencies  mentioned  in  Rule  III,  8. 

4.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  some  closely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year  ;  who 
has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  the  church  of  whidi 
he  is  a  member,  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  ex- 
cept in  extraordinary  cases. 

III.  — Scholarships. 

1.  The  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theo- 
logical and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  $150 ;  for  those  in  the  preparatory 
course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  |100. 

2.  These  scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  par- 
ticular and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points : 
Christian  Character?  Scholarship?  Rhetorical  Ability?  Punctuality?  Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  in  a  general  ratio,  the  scholarships  in 
case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowl- 
edged by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to 
receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given, 
with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  aiSl 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall 
ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  pay- 
ments of  a  student  whose  recommendation  is  made  at  any  time  between  those  days 
may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students,  but  it  ii 
expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of 
tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the 
collegiate  year,  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the 
Presbytery  has  expired,  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that  they  are  suflBr- 
ing  from  prolonged  ill-health,  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work  of  the  ministry, 
or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to  dispense  with  aasistanoe 
and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or  have  contracted  debts  withoat 
reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have  married  since  the  last  payment,  or 
if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society,  the 
entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall  be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sums  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry 
(unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentially  prevented),  or  if  he  ceases  to  adhere  to 
the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  if  he  changes  his  place  of  atndy  oon- 
trary  to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an 
institution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board,  or  if  he  withdraws  his  oonnection 
from  the  Church  of  which  this  Board  is  the  organ  without  furnishing  a  satisfaotoiy 
reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  to  be  regarded  by  the  candidate  who  receives  its  benefit  as  the 
Chujch's  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate  and  expedite  his  preparation  for  the  holy 
ministry,  and  may  be  accepted  as  a  gift  with  the  understanding  that  he  is  thereby 
simply  obliged  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Be- 
deemer's  kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instroot  and 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION.         46 

stimulate  her  members  in  the  duty  of  mnltiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of 
the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world.  If,  however,  any  candidate  should  prefer 
to  receive  it  as  a  loan,  the  Board  of  Education  is  given  authority  to  lend  the 
amount  without  Interest,  and  to  give  the  borrower  a  credit  of  $150  for  each  year 
of  service  spent,  at  the  conclusion  of  his  education,  upon  a  mission  field  at  home  or 
abroad. 

10.  While  the  Churoh  in  providing  scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes  no 
specific  conditions  as  to  the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministry  which  they 
will  be  expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological  training, 
nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  they  shall  labor,  nevertheless 
her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary  spirit,  as  Christlike, 
ap3etolic  and  timely,  and  that  it  would  be  highly  becoming  in  them,  under  all  ordi- 
nary circumstances,  to  offer  their  services,  at  the  conclusion  of  their  education,  for 
work  in  missionary  fields,  ever  remembering  the  abounding  destitution  in  our  own 
country  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands  ;  the  peculiar  fitness  of  young  men  for  such 
work  ;  the  honor,  privilege  and  advantage  pertaining  to  it ;  the  natural  expectations 
of  the  Church  which  has  trained  them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hard- 
ness as  good  soldiers  ;  and,  above  all,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended 
Lord. 

IV. — Cabs  op  Candidates. 

1«  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  cases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  of 
study  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the 
doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  and,  when  prepared,  to  pursue  a 
three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  seminary  connected  with  the  same 
Church,  and  no  work  of  preaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and 
faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery 
for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exer- 
cise of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  things,  and  the  bestowment  of 
the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their 
trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employ- 
ments which  will  tend  to  qualify  them  for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evan- 
gelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates  by  furnish- 
ing annually  to  the  Education  Committee  a  summary  of  information  from  the  pro- 
fessors' reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secre- 
tary shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  ^'isit  and  address 
them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties 
and  the  claims  of  the  o£Sce  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be  annually  renewed  by  his 
Presbytery,  if  possible  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the 
Session  of  the  church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made 
of  the  amount  needed  by  him  ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been 
received  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee 
in  the  interim  of  the  sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  pro- 
vided its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session  and  not  counter- 
manded to  the  Board. 

6.  If  at  any  time  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  min- 
istry a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate 
without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presby- 
tery, and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  expla- 
nation of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board 
from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education  within  the  current  quar- 
ter, it  shall  be  the  doty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  i^s  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of 
stadents  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  in- 


46  AKKUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD   OF   EDUCATIOX. 

Btraotiona  of  the  Fonn  of  Goveminent  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec.  3);  and  thia  ezaminatioo 
aboald  be  oondacted  by  the  Presbyte^,  and  be  entirely  satisfodory  as  to  the  "  real 
piety"  of  the  students  ^'  and  the  motives  which  have  influenced  them  to  desire  tiie 
sacred  office,"  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final  step  to^raird  assuming  its 
great  responsibilities. 

8.  The  annual  report,  occasional  publications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the 
Confession  of  Faith  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  students  under  its  oare  who  request 
them. 

v.— Particular  Dtjties  of  Candidates. 

1.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Church  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board 
of  Education  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel,  the  young 
brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  affectionately  reminded  that  all 
intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and 
that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duties 
of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Scriptures,  secret  prayer  and  meditation,  oiyiw'^^^J 
acts  of  special  consecration  of  themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Re- 
deemer and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  uid 
during  the  week,  endeavors  to  promote  the  salvation  of  others,  and  the  exhibition 
at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholarships  granted  by  the  Board  will  neoessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  tbeir 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support  by  teaching  or  otiierwiee,  he  shall  first  ob- 
tain the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbjteiy  or  of  the  Board ; 
and  if,  when  given,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his 
scholarship  will  be  continued,  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued 
in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report 
himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  Qeneral  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Com- 
mittee of  his  Presbytery  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects ;  and  when  any 
of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  oarried  out  by 
teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays 
and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered 
ing  a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI.— Exceptional  Cases. 

1.  The  Board  will  not  ordinarily  take  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  any  who  have  not  completed  a  course  preparatory  to  college.  If  excep- 
tional cases  are  recommended  by  Presbyteries  the  Board  should  be  certified  that 
there  has  been  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval  under  competent  teaohen 
through  two  or  three  years. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  expect  the  benefit  of  tcholaiahips  for  mora  than 
two  years  before  entering  college.

ANNUAL  /REPORT   OP  THE   BOARD   OP   EDUCATION.  49 

HINTS  to  the  Chairmen  of  Education  Committees  of  Presby- 
teries as  to  the  Recommendation  of  Candidates  to  the 
Presbyterian  Board  of  Education. 


AKE  SURE  before  any  other  action  is  taken,  thafc  the  oandidate  has  been 
reoomniended  to  Preshjteiy  by  the  Session  of  his  oharch,  as  this  is  the 
fandamental  reqairemeut. 

2.  Always  nse  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 

3.  Never  pnt  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendation  ;  never 
pnt  firnt  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.  Yon  will  thas  prevent  serions  con- 
fusion at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

4.  Write  the  recommendations  plainly  in  ink  ;  never  nse  pencil. 

5.  Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other  than  is  re- 
quired by  the  answers.  Additional  notes  of  explanation  which  may  be  necessary 
should  be  sent  in  an  aooompanying  letter. 

6.  Let  every  question  be  fully  answered  when  the  recommendation  is  first 
forwarded  ;  otherwise  additional  correspondence  will  be  required,  and  much 
delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

7.  In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate  name  the  class 
and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction /or  the  year  which  the  recom- 
mendation is  intended  to  cover  ;  e.  g. ,  if  the  recommendation  is  made  out  in  the 
spring,  name  the  institution  and  class  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter  in  the  fall. 

8.  Use  New  Recommendation  blank  for  all  candidates  who  have  never  been 
accepted  and  enrolled  by  the  Board,  no  matter  how  many  times  recommended  in 
past  years.  Use  Renewal  blank  for  all  candidates  who  have  been  at  any  time 
enrolled  by  the  Board  even  though  subsequently  dropped. 

9.  If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the  care  of  the 
Board,  comes  to  you  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us  your  recommendation  in 
the  form  of  a  renewal ;  and  give  us  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  from  which  you 
receive  him. 

10.  Recommendations  for  new  candidates  should  be  sent  in  as  early  as  may 
be  convenient ;  but  renewals  should  ordinarily  be  deferred  until  Presbyteries  have 
had  time  to  consider  each  case  in  the  light  of  all  information  obtainable  as  to 
candidates  conduct  and  work  during  the  year.  Such  cases  are  not  in  the  least 
imperiled  by  the  delay  occasioned  by  this  ^latient  consideration. 

11.  If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  preparatory  to 
theology,  in  an  institution  which  sympathizes  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require,  except  in  extraordinary  cases],  send 
us  the  assurance  that  he  has  the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbytery,  and  the 
reason  for  the  permission. 

12.  If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  country,  the  assurance  must  be  sent 
to  us  thnt  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  connection  with  the  Church  in  the 
United  States. 

13.  In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Presbytery  to 
which  he  belongs.     This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up  his  case. 

14.  Do  not  mutilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them,  properly 
folded,  in  a  large  envelope.    This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and  indexing. 

15.  Take  no  action  without  careful  study  of  the  printed  rules  prescribed  for 
our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

EIGHTY-SECOND  ANNUAL  REPORT 


The  Board  of  Education  in  its  last  Annual  Report  called  attention  to 
the  unusual  degree  of  interest  which  had  been  manifested  in  the  year 
then  drawing  to  a  close  with  regard  to  ihe  whole  subject  of  Education 
for  tha  Ministry.  The  Genera*  Aspembly  of  1899  were  led  to  appoint  a 
large  Special  Committee,  who  were  directed  to  make  a  careful  study  of 
this  subject.  Their  full  Report  was  made  to  the  General  Assembly  of 
1900,  and  its  recommendations  were  adopted.  The  Committee  reached  the 
conclusion  that  there  is  no  general  dissatisfaction  with  the  present  system 
of  Ministerial  Education:  and  that  there  exists  a  common  acrreemeut  as 
to  the  necessity  for  a  thoroughly  educated  ministry,  the  call  for  men  of 
the  highest  order  having  never  been  more  urgent  than  at  present.  At 
the  same  time  there  was  found  no  little  diversity  of  opinion  as  to  the 
proper  ways  and  means  for  securing  the  best  men  for  the. ministry.  The 
large  majority  of  persons  consulted  were  emphatic  in  their  testimony  to 
the  importance,  wisdom  and  justice  of  beneficiary  aid;  the  defects  and 
abuses  of  administration  sometimes  apparent  being  only  such  as  are 
incidental  to  the  working  of  all  human  institutions.  It  does  not  appear 
that  unwholesome  or  evil  effects  upon  the  character  of  those  aided  have 
resulted  from  the  beneficiary  system.  The  Committee  became  fully 
persuaded  that  the  facts  do  not  sustain  the  statement  that  there  are  too 
many  ministers.  Indeed,  the  constant  falling  off  in  the  number  of 
candidates  is  cause  for  serious  anxip.ty.  The  Committee  suggest  the 
obvious  remedy:  prayer  to  the  Lord  of  the  harvest  that  he  would  mul- 
tiply laborers,  but  they  insist  that  prayer  must  be  attended  with  the 
diligent  use  of  means,  including  particularly  a  satisfactory  provision  for 
the  training  and  the  maintenance  of  candidates;  for  any  system  of  pre- 
paration for  the  Gospel  ministry  which  docs  not  leave  the  way  open  from 
the  handles  of  the  plow  and  from  the  carpenter's  bench  to  the  sacred 
office  is  not  in  accord  with  the  spirit  of  the  Gospel. 

The  Committee  expressed  the  opinion  that  it  was  imperative  r>u  the 
part  of  the  Board  as  an  agent  of  the  Assembly  to  assert  more  vigorously 
and  eflfectually  its  claims  upon  the  whole  Church,  and  to  urge  pastors  to 
ju«tfy  its  claims  on  their  people.  They  thought  also  that  some  changes 
in  the  rules  of  the  Board  might  be  made  which  would  enaide  them  more

AXNUAL    REPORT   OF   THE    BiJARD  OF    EDUCATIOX. 


eSectuMilv  to  correct  the  mistakes  whidi  occur  oocasionallj  from  the 
lack  of  proper  care  on  the  part  of  Presbjteries.  Still  further,  the  ques- 
tion was  raised  whether  aid  might  not  be  wisely  withheld  ontil  the  candi- 
date has  reached  the  Junior  claas  in  college. 

The  views  of  this  large  and  carefullv  selected  Committee,  thus  ex- 
pressed after  much  investigation  and  studj,  deserved,  of  course,  the  most 
careful  ccmsideration  on  the  part  of  the  General  Assembly  and  of  the 
Board  of  Education.  This  consideration  the  Board  have  endeavored  to 
give.  Thev  appredate  the  importance  of  asserting  the  claims  of  the 
work  upon  the  whole  ChurdL  The  means  already  taken  for  this

addid(Ni  to  the  signature  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Education  Committee, 
hitherto  considered  sufficient.  By  this  signature  the  candidate  indicates 
his  estimate  of  the  minimum  sum  neces»ry  for  his  asristance  and  prom- 
ises to  return  what  he  receives  from  the  Board  in  case  he  toms  aside  to 
some  other  occupation. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1900  also  thought  best,  upon  the  leoommen- 
dation  of  the  Conmiittee,  to  grant  permissioQ  to  all  candidates  who  pie&rred 
such  a  method  to  receive  their  scholarship  aid  in  the  form  of  a  loan  without 
interest,  with  the  understanding  that  service  in  mission  fields  at  home  or 
abroad  would  entitle  them  to  a  credit  of  $150  for  each  year  of  service. 
A  new  edition  of  the  Rules  was  accordingly  prepared  embodying  this 
provision,  and  a  copy  was  duly  sent  to  each  new  candidate.  No  one, 
however,  has  thus  far  seemed  disponed  to  take  advantage  of  this  plan. 
Further  experience  may  demonstrate  the  usefulness  of  the  new  pioviskm; 
but  the  fact  seems  to  be  that  those  who  have  had  pecuniair  assistance 
from  the  Church  through  the  Board  of  Education  prefer,  when  posable, 
to  return  the  amount  expended  upon  their  education  to  the  treasorr  in 
cash;  but,  whether  this  is  within  their  power  or  not,  they  are  disposed 
to  cherish,  not  for  a  term  of  vears  onlv,  but  to  the  end  of  their  ministrv, 
however,  long,  a  sense  of  indebtedness  to  the  agency  which  made  U,

"*  TVe  Should  much  regret  if  anything  should  occur  to  create  the  impression 
in  the  minds  of  our  candidates  that  there  is  any  impropriety  in  accept- 
ing a  scholarship  as  a  gift,  the  Church's  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  'preparation  for  the  holy  ministry.  We  have  felt  it 
to  be  our  duty  as  a  Board  thus  to  report  to  the  General  Assembly  the  steps 
taken  to  carry  out  its  directions,  which  were  given  on  the  recommendation 
of  their  Special  Committee.  These  directions  were  only  two:  One  which 
required  that  a  form  should  be  prepared  for  the  candidate's  signature, 
and  another  with  regard  to  offering  loans  to  be  repaid  in  years  of  ser- 
vice at  so  much  a  year.  But  the  Report  deals  also  with  matters  which 
more  directly  concern  the  Presbyteries,  but  with  which  the  Board  has 
an  indirect  but  at  the  same  time  a  very  deep  interest.  They  venture 
therefore  to  say  to  the  General  Assembly  that  they  have  given  careful 
thought  to  the  Constitutional  Rule  No.  3,  which  the  Special  Committee 
drew  up  for  transmission  to  the  Presbyteries.  It  was  prepared  with  the 
very  laudable  purpose  of  compelling  the  exercise  of  care  by  those  bodies 
lest  they  should,  through  carelessness  or  ignorance  of  all  the  facts  of 
the  case,  be  led  to  enroll  as  candidates  for  the  sacred  office  persons  unsuit- 
able with  regard  to  Christian  character,  physical  and  mental  qualifica- 
tions, or  the  kind  and  amount  of  previous  education.  With  this  object 
in  view,  it  is  proposed  by  the  new  Rule  to  prohibit  Presbyteries  from 
taking  men  under  their  care  as  candidates  whose  application  has  not 
been  on  file  with  the  Stated  Clerk  at  least  three  months  before  the  meet- 
ing of  Presbytery.  The  three  months  must  be  employed  in  making  a 
thorough  investigation  concerning  the  fitness  of  the  applicant. 

The  long  experience  of  the  Board  brings  the  conviction  that  the  adop- 
tion of  this  rule  may  work  hardship  and  injury.  It  will  be  observed 
that  no  provision  is  made  for  any  exceptions,  while  every  year  cases  are 
occurring  in  which  candidates  have  been  providentially  hindered  from 
putting  in  their  application  so  long  beforehand,  about  whose  fitness  no 
reasonable  doubt  exists,  and  where  prompt  action  is  urgently  needed. 
The  exercise  of  discretionary  power  in  such  cases  appears  to  be  practi- 
cally necessary.  But  the  Rule  is  open  to  another  serious  objection :  its 
effect  must  necessarily  be  to  increase  an  evil  already  prevalent.  If  the 
opportunity  to  prosecute  studies  preparatory  to  the  ministry  under  the 
care  of  Piesbjtery  is  made  too  difficult  or  for  the  time  being  impassible, 
impecunious  candidates,  who  cannot  afford  to  postpone  entrance  upon 
these  studies,  will  feel  compelled  to  prosecute  them  independently  of 
such  care.     They  will  select  for  themselves  the  place  and  course  of  study,

ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  7 

this  opinion,  ivrice  given  in  the  body  of  the  Report,  deserves  thoughtful 
consideration.  The  opinion  is  probably  based  upon  the  presumption 
that  a  young  man  is  hardly  in  a  situation  to  come  to  a  satisfactory  assur- 
ance on  the  subject  of  a  call  before  the  conclusion  of  his  second  year  in 
college.  The  experience  of  the  Board,  however,  has  been  to  the  effect 
that  a  very  considerable  number  of  candidates  come  to  college  with  a 
sense  of  call  to  the  ministry  fully  developed.  Some  of  these  have  had 
from  earliest  childhood  a  growing  conviction  of  such  a  caU,  and  a  very 
considerable  number  have  reached  this  conviction  in  mature  years  and 
come  to  college  because  the  Church  requires  a  more  extensive  course  of 
training  than  they  have  received.  One  principal  object  of  the  Board  is 
to  encourage  and  enable  such  persons  as  these  to  comply  with  the 
Church's  requirements,  and  to  defer  the  granting  of  aid  until  the  Junior 
year  might  keep  many  of  them  out  of  college  altogether.  The  Board 
beg  to  assure  the  Assembly  that  they  keep  the  closest  watch  over  their 
collegiate  candidates,  and  that  they  have  in  most  cases  the  intelligent 
and  zealous  cooperation  of  the  teachers  who  preside  over  their  instruc- 
tion. The  result  is  the  occasional  dropping  of  iindesirable  men ;  but  the 
great  majority  prove  true  and  steadfast  to  the  end.  The  Board  recog- 
nize the  Presbyteries  as  having  the  primary  responsibility  in  the  care  of 
candidates.  They  accordingly  report  to  them,  through  their  Education 
Committees,  the  delinquencies  which  come  to  their  knowledge  and  take 
counsel  as  to  the  best  course  to  be  pursued  under  the  circumstances. 

The  Board  called  the  attention  last  year  to  the  results  of  investigation 
carefully  pursued  with  regard  to  the  sufficiency  of  the  preparatory  train- 
ing which  ministerial  candidates  are  now  getting  at  college.  There 
seems  to  be  a  well-grounded  impression  that  the  possession  of  a  college 
diploma  does  uoc  furnish  an  altogether  satisfactory  assurance  that  the 
graduate  is  well  versed  even  in  such  fundamentally  important  subjects 
as  Latin,  Greek,  philosophy,  history  and  English.  The  extent  to  which 
the  privilege  of  election  of  studies  is  now  carried  in  some  institutions, 
the  proposition  made  in  prominent  circles  to  omit  Greek  from  the 
requirements  for  admission,  and  the  chang(«  in  the  curriculum  which 
may  accompany  the  plans  for  a  college  course  to  be  completed  in  three 
years,  are  throwing  a  measure  of  doubt  upon  the  meaning  of  a  college 
diploma  and  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

There  is  no  little  difference  at  present  in  the  value  of  diplomas  from 
different  institutions,  and  there  is  an  inequality  therefore  in  our  dealings 
with  students  which  is  a  matter  for  regret.  The  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  established  in  1892  a  **  University  Senate,"  a  body  createcl  ^or 


8  ANNUAL   REPORT   OP  THE   BOARD   OP   EDUCATION. 

the  purpose  of  determining  the  minimum  equivalent  of  academic  work  in 

institutions  of  that  Church  for  graduation  to  the  baccalaureate  degree. 

Only  those  institutions  \vhich  meet  the  requirements  exacted  by  the 

Senate  are  aUowed  to  be  designated  as  colleges  in  the  official  lists  of  the 

ducational  institutions  of  the  Church.     The  effect  of  this  action  was  felt 

t  once,  and  in  one  year  some  forty- four  colleges  changed  their  curricula, 

early  all  of   them  in  the  direction  of  a  decided   advance.     We  are 

isposed  to  think  that  our  Presbyterian  Church  might  wisely  indicate 

with  more  precision  than  at  present  just  what  she  is  willing  to  recognize 

as  a  complete  collegiate  course  preparatory  to  studies  in  the  theological 

seminary. 

RECOMMENDATIONS   OF   THE   GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

We  are  happy  to  report  that  some  Presbyteries  have  taken  measures 
for  the  enlarging  and  strengthening  of  their  Committees  on  Education; 
that  renewed  care  is  shown  in  some  cases  with  regard  to  the  examina- 
tion of  candidates  as  to  personal  reli^on  and  motives  for  seeking  the 
ministry ;  that  sometimes  special  meetings  have  been  held  for  the  exam- 
ination of  candidates  for  licensure  and  ordination,  in  order  that  ample 
time  may  be  given  to  so  important  a  work;  and  we  understand  that 
gome  have  complied  with  the  suggestion  about  combining  written  with 
oral  examinations  for  the  better  testing  of  candidates;  but  we  are  not 
aware  of  correspondence  of  the  Presbyteries  with  one  another  in  order 
that  a  common  standard  of  strictness  may  everywhere  prevail  through 
the  Church  for  the  general  advantage  and  protection. 

We  beg  to  call  new  attention  to  the  recommendations  of  the  Assembly 
of  1900  on  these  subjects,  and  also  to  the  suggestion  of  the  Sewickley 
Conference  of  1899,  that  an  annual  sermon  might  profitably  be  deliv- 
ered before  Presbytery  on  some  topic  relatea  to  ministerial  education. 
The  subject  is  of  paramount  importance,  and  stands  in  such  intimate 
•  relationship  with  all  of  the  great  departments  of  the  work  of  the 
Church,  and  the  present  exigency  is  of  so  serious  a  character,  that 
sfpecial  measures  appear  to  be  necessary  in  order  that  public  attention 
may  be  kept  constantly  riveted  upon  it. 

THE   QUESTION   OP   NUMBERS 

The  Board,  at  its  first  meeting  after  the  General  Assembly  of  1900, 
made  a  careful  estimate  of  the  number  of  candidates  for  whom  it  would 
probably  be  called  upon  to  provide.     The  conclusion  reached  was  that 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  » 

725  applications  might  be  expected.  They  regret  to  have  to  report 
that  they  have  actually  enrolled  only  600.  This  is  the  smallest 
number  s'nce  1884,  when  577  names  were  enrolled.  There  had  been  a 
constant  increase  in  numbers  from  1879,  with  the  exception  of  the  years 
1892  and  1893,  until  the  maximum  of  1037  was  reached  in  1896. 
Since  that  date  the  number  has  steadily  declined.  If  we  compare  the 
figures  for  1896  with  those  for  1900,  we  find  a  falling  off  in  Missouii 
from  forty-one  to  twenty -one;  in  Illinois  from  sixty-eight  to  thirty -four; 
in  New  York  from  eighty-three  to  fifty- two;  in  New  Jersey  from  eighty- 
four  to  thirty-seven;  in  Ohio  from  120  to  seventy,  and  in  Pennsylvania 
from  201  to  142.  The  losses  are  thus  quite  conspicuous  in  the  very 
strongholis  of  our  Church.  The  Special  Committee  of  the  General 
Assembly  gave  their  attention  to  a  number  of  reasons  commonly 
assigned  for  these  losses,  such  as  the  alleged  oversupply  of  ministers,  the 
financial  depression  through  which  the  country  had  recently  passed,  the 
distractions  due  to  present  theological  discussions,  the  financial  embar- 
rassment of  the  great  Mission  Boards  of  our  Church,  the  secularizing 
influences  of  State  colleges,  and  particularly  a  spirit  of  worldliness 
infecting  the  Church  and  lowering  her  spiritual  vitality.  In  their 
opinion  the  root  of  the  difficulty  is  to  be  found  in  the  last- mentioned 
cause.  Certain  it  seems  to  be  that  the  churches  have,  to  a  large  degree, 
lost  their  old-time  inte^-est  and  zeal  in  the  multiplication  of  the  ministry, 
and  are  not  feeling  as  keenly  as  of  old  the  responsibility  which  rests 
upon  them  to  seek  its  replenishing  by  prayer  to  Him  who  gives  the  secret 
call  of  the  Spirit  by  which  our  young  men  are  inclined  and  constrained 
to  volunteer.  God  is  waiting  to  be  inquired  of  by  His  people.  When 
they  are  awakened  to  a  sense  of  need,  when  they  ardently  desire  an 
increase,  they  will  ask  God  earnestly,  and  He  will  give  a  gracious 
answer.  It  must  be  plain,  under  existing  circumstances,  how  much 
depends  upon  those  already  filling  the  sacred  office.  The  minister  is  the 
leader  of  the  people  at  the  time  of  public  prayer,  and  we  must  look  to 
him  to  revive  the  old-fashioned  habit  of  praying  for  an  increase  of  the 
ministry  at  the  Sabbath  services  and  at  the  weekly  prayer  meeting,  and 
to  encourage  by  his  example  and  influence  a  similar  prayer  in  families 
and  in  the  closet,  and  a  disposition  on  the  part  of  parents  to  dedicate 
their  children  to  the  holy  office. 

With  respect  to  the  young  men  themselves,  we  must  not  forget  how 
persistently  they  have  been  told  of  late  that  there  is  no  room  for  them 
in  the  minij»try,  which  is  alleged  to  be  overcrowded,  and  they  have  been 
tempted  to  devote  their  attention  to  teaching,  to  business,  to  the  natural 


10        ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION. 

sciences,  to  law  and  to  medicine,  notwithstanding  the  i-eal  and  all  but 
starth'ng  overcrowding  of  some  of  these  professions  and  pursuits.  It 
must  be  remembered  also  that  young  men  in  our  various  institutions  of 
learning  have  undoubtedly  felt  the  influence  of  current  discussions  with 
regard  to  the  degree  of  authority  which  may  now  be  accorded  to  the 
Holy  Scriptures;  and  even  those  who  have  by  no  means  lost  their  per- 
sonal faith  in  Christ  have  not  always  felt  sufficiently  sure  with  regard  to 
the  Bible  to  be  ready  to  devote  their  lives  to  a  work  which  requires 
unshaken  confidence  in  the  Holy  Book  as  the  very  Word  of  God,  and 
as  their  one  instrument  for  accomplishing  the  redemption  of  the  world. 
It  is  by  no  means  impossible,  however,  that  the  decrease  in  the  number 
of  candidates  may  prove  to  be  a  not  altogether  unmitigated  eviL  Pos- 
sibly the  renewed  attention  called  to  the  necessity  of  prudent  oversight 
on  the  part  of  Presbyteries,  added  to  the  constant  influence  of  the  strict 
rules  of  the  Board,  may  have  kept  back  some  very  unsuitable  men  who 
would  otherwise  have  oflered  themselves  as  candidates.  It  may  be  also 
that  the  public  discussion  of  certain  hardships  of  a  minister*s  life  under 
existing  conditions  may  be  keeping  back  some  who  have  not  a  sufficient 
sense  of  a  call  from  God  to  make  them  ready  for  self-denial  and  sacri- 
fice. We  trust  that  all  proper  measures  may  be  taken  to  reduce  what- 
ever hardships  may  be  attendant  upon  a  minister's  lot  to  a  minimum; 
nevertheless  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  ministry  gains  rather  than 
loses  when  men  are  kept  out  of  it  who  are  repelled  by  its  difficulties 
and  trials. 

MEASURES  TO  SECURE   AN   INCREASE 

Attractive  leaflets  have  been  sent  out  annually  for  a  number  of  years 
to  the  young  people  of  our  churches  in  order  to  excile  their  interest  in 
the  work  of  the  ministry  and  in  the  necessary  preparatory  education. 
A  special  illustrated  leaflet  was  sent  out  during  the  past  year  to  Chris- 
tian Endeavor  Societies  for  a  similar  purpose.  A  leaflet  entited  **  Mar- 
tyr Missionaries,"  together^with  another  treating  of  a  call  to  the  min- 
istry, was  sent  among  the  college  s Indents  of  the  Junior  or  Senior 
classes.  There  are  not  wanting  noble  spirits  among  our  young  men,  and 
the  hope  was  cherished  that  the  story  of  the  English  missionary  martyrs 
in  China — Brookes,  and  Norman,  and  Robinson — and  our  own  Church's 
martyrs  at  Paoting  Fu,  to  say'nothing  of  the  many  native  Christians  who 
have  sacrificed  their  lives  for  Christ's  sake  in  China,  might  move  some 
of  them,  and  that  the  sight^of  their  companions  in  Christ  falling  at  the

front  of  the  battle  might  rouse  their  eager  spirits  to  brave  the  danger 
and  hasten  to  take  the  places  made  vacant  bj  the  slain. 

8uch  missives  as  these  may  bear  fruit  in  due  season.  Meantime  noth- 
ing seems  to  us  more  important  than  the  efiorts  \vhich  have  been  made  to 
disabuse  the  minds  of  the  people  of  God  in  our  churches  of  the  impres- 
sion that  too  many  men  are  ofiering  themselves  for  the  ministry,  and  to 
awaken  a  sense  of  peril  to  the  cause  they  love  arising  from  an  actual 
dearth  of  candidates.  In  proportion  as  such  efforts  meet  with  success 
there  will  be  aroused  a  spirit  of  prayer,  and  when  the  Church  prays 
with  earnestness  and  importunity  the  problem  will  be  solved  and  her  now 
pressing  need  will  be  supplied. 

PRESBYTERIAL   AND  8YN0DICAL   OVERSIGHT 

We  are  of  the  opinion  that  successful  prosecution  of  the  work 
of  educating  men  for  the  ministry  ought  to  include  not  only  oversight  and 
direction  of  their  studies,  but  also  the  assigning  of  them  to  fields  of 
labor  that  they  may  gain  practical  experience  during  the  progress  of 
their  studies,  have  opportunities  for  the  exercise  of  their  gifts,  and  be 
ultimately  directed  to  places  of  settlement.  The  Board  have  accordingly 
observed  with  peculiar  interest  during  the  year  one  or  two  movements 
which  indicate  an  earnest  effort  to  exercise  oversight  of  this  nature,  and 
from  which  important  results  may  flow.  Thus  Saginaw  Presbytery  have 
not  only  endeavored  to  relieve  the  pecuniary  necessities  of  the  candi- 
dates under  their  care,  but  have  also  put  them  under  the  direction  of 
their  Committee  on  Home  Missions  and  Sabbath-school  Work.  The 
result  is  that  five  Sabbath-schools  are  being  carried  on  by  the  labors  of 
these  candidates  within  a  radius  of  five  miles  from  Alma  College,  where 
they  are  pursuing  their  studies.  The  Education  Committee  of  the 
Synod  of  Indiana  last  fall  called  attention  to  the  important  duty  of 
removing  all  grounds  for  the  allegation  that  there  is  an  oversupply  of 
ministers,  an  allegation  which  tends  to  discourage  young  men  from  enlist- 
ing for  service,  and  prevents  that  full  sympathy  with  our  educational 
work  which  its  importance  demands.  It  ^jiy^yessed^th^^  belief  that  the

adopted  by  the  Synod,  and  a  Permanent  Committee,  called  the  *'  Syn-. 
od's  Committee  on  Supplies,'*  has  been  appointed  to  whom  all  vacancies

must  be  reported,  and  to  whom  is  given  the  authority  to  send  supplies 
to  vacant  pulpits  for  a  certain  proportion  of  the  Sabbaths  occurring 
during  the  period  of  vacancy.  This  plan  seems  to  be,  in  its  general 
features,  the  same  as  the  plan  which  has  been  in  more  or  less  successful 
operation  in  ^^'^  TTn^^^^  Pr^Kjrfi>rii^|^  ffhu^fi^  ^^^  &  number  of  years. 
The  fact  that  the  Indiana  plan  embraces  a  whole  Synod  affords  better 
hope  for  success  than  if  it  were  limited  to  a  Presbytery,  or  if,  on  the 
other  hand,  it  ambitiously  endeavored  to  embrace  the  whole  Church  in 
the  sphere  of  its  operations.  We  have  seen  evidences,  in  our  care  of 
candidates,  of  very  serious  evils  arising  from  the  consciousness  that  soon 
comes  over  them,  under  existing  conditions,  that  no  one  is  canng  for 
(hem,  and  that  they  must,  either  individually  or  by  combinations 
fimong  themselves,  look  out  for  prompt  settlement.  Self  is  in  very  great 
iidanger  of  asserting  itself;  the  most  attractive  fields  tempt  the  ambition 

f  the  candidate  ;  and  the  aggressive,  self-denying  spirit  of  the  mission- 
ary, which  craves  unoccupied  territory  and  braves  danger  at  the  front 

f  the  battle,  is  in  danger  of  utter  extinction. 

FACTS   ABOUT   CANDIDATES 

There  were  346  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  daring  the 
year  in  the  various  theological  seminaries  of  the  Church;  236  in  different 
colleges;  and  18  for  special  reasons  were  given  scholarship  aid  in  pre- 
paratory schools.  Three  of  the  candidates  are  Bohemians;  4  are  Span- 
ish-speaking students;  29  are  Germans;  68  are  negroes;  one  is  preparing 
for  work  among  his  Jewish  fellow-countrymen,  and  one  is  a  candidate 
for  work  among  the  French-Americans.  It  is  a  matter  for  deepest 
regret  that  we  have  at  present  no  candidates  for  work  among  the  many 
thousands  of  Italians  who  have  come  to  America,  to  whom  we  owe  the 
Gospel,  aud  who  exhibit  a  remarkable  readiness  to  listen  to  its  message. 
We  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  need  of  prayer  that  God 
will  be  pleased  to  raise  up  in  the  Italian  churches  which  have  been 
organized  in  various  parts  of  our  land  suitable  candidates  for  the 
miuistry.  The  source  of  supply  is  at  present  precarious  and  the  need 
is  gT'eat. 

Four  hundred  and  five  of  the  candidates  enrolled  have  been 
marked  **  high  "  or  **  medium  plus"  in  scholarship.  While  it  is  a 
disappointment  when  some  are  marked  only  *'  medium,"  we  are  becom- 
ing more  and  more  consciou?  of  the  fact  that  some  of  the  most  satisfac- 
tory men,  in  the  long  run,  and  some  of  the  most  acceptable  preachers 
and  practical  workers,  are  to  be  found  in  this  latter  class.     Many  of 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF    EDUCATION.  13 

them  have  labored  in  the  face  of  peculiar  difficulties,  and  amidst  the 
privations  of  pinching  poverty.  No  discouragements  have  daunted 
them;  the  hard  school  of  experience  has  disciplined  them  for  effective 
service.  They  are  commonly  humble  and  devout,  ready  for  anything 
that  may  be  proposed  for  them,  and  are  soon  recognized  by  the  people 
as  belonging  to  that  class  of  ministers  who  are  concerned  principally, 
not  in  what  the  people  can  do  for  them,  but  in  what  they  can  do  for 
the  people. 

One  has  died  since  the  last  report,  and  four  have  been  com- 
pelled by  sickness,  financial  embarrassments  or  other  pressing  reasons  to 
turn  aside  for  the  time  from  the* prosecution  of  their  studies.  Ten 
have  been  dropped  from  the  roll,  according  to  the  Board's  unvarying 
rule,  on  account  of  their  having  married. 

The  Newberry  scholar,  Frederick  William  Loetscher,  and  the 
**  Secretary's  Scholar,"  John  Brower  McCr eery,  have  been  pursuing 
post-graduate  studies  at  Princeton  Theological  Seminary  under  the  joint 
direction  of  the  Board  and  of  the  Faculty  of  the  Seminary.  The 
Board,  at  a  recent  meeting,  resolved  that  the  Newberry  Scholarship 
should  be  offered  for  the  next  period  of  three  years  to  that  candidate, 
under  the  care  of  the  Board,  in  the  present  Middle  class  of  the  Western 
Theological  Seminary,  among  those  recommended  by  the  Faculty,  who 
shall  stand  highest  in  a  competitive  examination  to  be  conducted  by  the 
Board's  Committee.  The  '' David  Stuart  Banks  Scholarship"  is  still 
held  by  Samuel  X.  Cross,  now  in  the  Junior  class  at  Coe  College,  Cedar 
Rapids,  la.  The  scholarshi[)  provided  by  the  Sabbath-school  of  the  First 
Church,  Philadelphia,  for  a  colored  candidate,  has  been  given  this  year 
to  Frederick  J.  Smith,  of  Lincoln  University.  In  addition  to  the 
**  Newberry  Scholarship  "  and  the  **  Secretary's  Scholarship,"  the  Board 
have  had  in  all  at  their  disposal  during  the  year  twenty-two  special 
scholarships,  each  yielding  one  hundred  dollars  or  more.  The  **  Mutch- 
more  Scholarship"  will  be  awarded  as  soon  as  the  income  becomes 
available. 

The  hope  is  cherished  that  those  who  are  contributing  to  the  Twen- 
tieth Century  Fund  will  include  in  the  objects  selected  the  Scholarship 
Fund  of  the  Board  of  Education;  founding  scholarships  which  shall 
yield  more  than  the  average  amount  which  is  given  under  ordinary 
circumstances,  and  which  may  be  awarded  under  special  conditions. 

The  Corresponding  Secretary  finds  each  year,  in  his  round  of  visits 
to  institutions  where  candidates  are  pursuing  their  studies,  the  value  of 
personal  acquaintance  with  the  young  men,  and  the  importance  of  per-

EIGHTY-SECOND  ANNUAL  REPORT 


The  Board  of  Education  in  its  last  Annual  Report  called  attention  to 
the  unusual  degree  of  interest  which  had  been  manifested  in  the  year 
then  drawing  to  a  close  with  regard  to  ihe  whole  subject  of  Education 
for  tha  Ministry.  The  Genera.  Assembly  of  1899  were  led  to  appoint  a 
large  Special  Committee,  who  were  directed  to  make  a  careful  study  of 
this  subject.  Their  full  Report  was  made  to  the  General  Assembly  of 
1900,  and  its  recommendations  were  adopted.  The  Committee  reached  the 
conclusion  that  there  is  no  general  dissatisfaction  with  the  present  system 
of  Ministerial  ^Education;  and  that  there  exists  a  common  agreement  as 
to  the  necessity  for  a  thoroughly  educated  ministry,  the  call  for  men  of 
the  highest  order  having  never  been  more  urgent  than  at  present.  At 
the  same  time  there  was  found  no  little  diversity  of  opinion  as  to  the 
proper  ways  and  means  for  securing  the  best  men  for  the. ministry.  The 
large  majority  of  persons  consulted  were  emphatic  in  their  testimony  to 
the  importance,  wisdom  and  justice  of  beneficiary  aid;  the  defects  and 
abuses  of  administration  sometimes  apparent  being  only  such  as  are 
incidental  to  the  working  of  all  human  instituiions.  It  does  not  appear 
that  unwholesome  or  evil  effects  upon  the  character  of  those  aided  have 
resulted  from  the  beneficiary  system.  The  Commiitee  became  fully 
persuaded  that  the  facts  do  not  sustain  the  statement  thai  there  are  too 
many  ministers.  Indeed,  the  constant  falling  of!  in  the  number  of 
candidates  is  cause  for  serious  anxiety.  The  Committee  suggest  the 
obvious  remedy:  prayer  to  the  Lord  of  the  harvest  that  he  would  mul- 
tiply laborers,  but  they  insist  that  prayer  must  be  attended  with  the 
diligent  use  of  means,  including  particularly  a  satisfactory  provision  for 
the  training  and  the  maintenance  of  candidates;  for  any  system  of  pre- 
paration for  the  Gospel  ministry  which  does  not  leave  the  way  open  from 
the  handles  of  the  plow  and  from  the  carpenter's  bench  to  the  saored 
office  is  not  in  accord  with  the  spirit  of  the  Gospel. 

The  Committee  expressed  the  opinion  that  it  was  imperative  on  the 
part  of  the  Board  as  an  agent  of  the  Assembly  to  assert  more  vigorously 
and  effectually  its  claims  upon  the  whole  Church,  aud  to  urge  pastors  to 
justfy  its  claims  on  their  people.  They  thought  also  that  some  changes 
in  the  rules  of  the  Board  might  be  made  which  would  enable  them  more

4  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION. 

effectually  to  correct  the  mistakes  which  occur  occasional Ij  from  the 
lack  of  proper  care  on  the  part  of  Presbyteries.  Still  further,  the  ques- 
tion was  raised  whether  aid  might  not  be  wisely  withheld  until  the  candi- 
date has  reached  the  Junior  class  in  college. 

The  views  of  this  large  and  carefully  selected  Committee,  thus  ex- 
pressed after  much  investigation  and  study,  deserved,  of  course,  the  most 
careful  consideration  on  the  part  of  the  General  Assembly  and  of  the 
Board  of  Education.  This  consideration  the  Board  have  endeavored  to 
give.  They  appreciate  the  importance  of  asserting  the  claims  of  the 
work  upon  the  whole  Church.  The  means  already  taken  for  this  pui 
are  the  distribution  of  about  50^  utgTgBBSTOgOTJH^^gTr  congregations 
being  supplied  which  are  willing  to  receive  them— and,  in  addition, 
attractive  calendars  advertising  the  operations  of  the  Board,  tracts  on 
the  subject  of  a  call  to  the  ministry,  the  need  of  a  college  training  for 
divinity  students,  helping  men  into  the  ministry,  etc.,  monthly  articles 
dn  the  Assembly  Herald,  personal  visits  to  institutions,  sermons  and 
faddresses  before  churches,  Presbyteries,  Synods  and  the  General  Assem- 
bly. The  Board  have,  in  accordance  with  the  recommendation  of  the 
Committee^  required  from  al]  npw jp^n/li/^ofoQ  (|"^'"jp;  \]]e  yfiflr  a  personal 
signajure^  affixed  to  the  form  of  recommendation  from  Presbytery,  in 
addition  to  the  signature  of  the  Chairman  of  the  Education  Coomiittee, 
hitherto  considered  sufficient.  By  this  signature  the  candidate  indicates 
his  estimate  of  the  minimum  sum  necessary  for  his  assistance  and  prom- 
ises to  return  what  he  receives  from  the  Board  in  case  he  turns  aside  to 
some  other  occupation. 

The  General  Assembly  of  1900  also  thought  best,  upon  the  recommen- 
dation of  the  Committee,  to  grant  peroussion  to  all  candidates  who  preferred 
such  a  method  to  receive  their  scholarship  aid  in  the  form  of  a  loan  without 
interest,  with  the  understanding  that  service  in  mission  fields  at  home  or 
abroad  would  entitle  them  to  a  credit  of  $150  for  each  year  of  service. 
A  new  edition  of  the  Rules  was  accordingly  prepared  embodying  this 
provision,  and  a  copy  was  duly  sent  to  each  new  candidate.  No  one, 
however,  has  thus  far  seemed  disposed  to  take  advantage  of  this  plan. 
Further  experience  may  demonstrate  the  usefulness  of  the  new  provision  ; 
but  the  fact  seems  to  be  that  those  who  have  had  pecuniary  assistance 
from  the  Church  through  the  Board  of  Education  prefer,  when  possible, 
to  return  the  amount  expended  upon  their  education  to  the  treasury  in 
cash;  but,  whether  this  is  within  their  power  or  not,  they  are  disposed 
to  cherish,  not  for  a  term  of  years  only,  but  to  the  end  of  their  ministry, 
however,  long,  a  sense  of  indebtedness  to  the  agency  which  made  it 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OP   EDUCATION.  5 

sible  for  them  to  acquire  their^eai^ipm^^^  foy  their  Master's  service, 
e  should  much  regret  ii  anything  should  occur  to  create  the  impression 
in  the  minds  of  our  candidates  that  there  is  any  impropriety  in  accept- 
ing a  scholarship  as  a  gift,  the  Church's  cheerful  contribution  to  facilitate 
and  expedite  their  'preparation  for  the  holy  ministry.  We  have  felt  it 
to  be  our  duty  as  a  Board  thus  to  report  to  the  General  Assembly  the  steps 
taken  to  carry  out  its  directions,  which  were  given  on  the  recommendation 
of  their  Special  Committee.  These  directions  were  only  two:  One  which 
required  that  a  form  should  be  prepared  for  the  candidate's  signature, 
and  another  with  regard  to  offering  loans  to  be  repaid  in  years  of  ser- 
vice at  so  much  a  year.  But  the  Report  deals  also  with  matters  which 
more  directly  concern  the  Presbyteries,  but  with  which  the  Board  has 
an  indirect  but  at  the  same  time  a  very  deep  interest.  They  venture 
therefore  to  say  to  the  General  Assembly  that  they  have  given  careful 
thought  to  the  Constitutional  Rule  No.  3,  which  the  Special  Committee 
drew  up  for  transmission  to  the  Presbyteries.  It  was  prepared  with  the 
very  laudable  purpose  of  compelling  the  exercise  of  care  by  those  bodies 
lest  they  should,  through  carelessness  or  ignorance  of  all  the  facts  of 
the  case,  be  led  to  enroll  as  candidates  for  the  sacred  office  persons  unsuit- 
able with  regard  to  Christian  character,  physical  and  mental  qualifica- 
tions, or  the  kind  and  amount  of  previous  education.  With  this  object 
in  view,  it  is  proposed  by  the  new  Rule  to  prohibit  Presbyteries  from 
taking  men  under  their  care  as  candidates  whose  application  has  not 
been  on  file  with  the  Stated  Clerk  at  least  three  months  before  the  meet- 
ing of  Presbytery.  The  three  months  must  be  employed  in  making  a 
thorough  investigation  concerning  the  fitness  of  the  applicant. 

The  long  experience  of  the  Board  brings  the  conviction  that  the  adop- 
tion of  this  rule  may  work  hardship  and  injury.  It  will  be  observed 
that  no  provision  is  made  for  any  exceptions,  while  every  year  cases  are 
occurring  in  which  candidates  have  been  providentially  hindered  from 
putting  in  their  application  so  long  beforehand,  about  whose  fitness  no 
reasonable  doubt  exists,  and  where  prompt  action  is  urgently  needed. 
The  exercise  of  discretionary  power  in  such  cases  appears  to  be  practi- 
cally necessary.  But  the  Rule  is  open  to  another  serious  objection :  its 
effect  must  necessarily  be  to  increase  an  evil  already  prevalent.  If  the 
opportunity  to  prosecute  studies  preparatory  to  the  ministry  under  the 
care  of  Piesbjtery  is  made  too  difficult  or  for  the  time  being  impossible, 
impecunious  candidates,  who  cannot  afford  to  postpone  entrance  upon 
these  studies,  will  feel  compelled  to  prosecute  them  independently  of 
such  care.     They  will  select  for  themselves  the  place  and  course  of  study,

and  remain  without  oversight  or  direction  for  the  time  being.  Some  of 
these  men,  perhaps,  if  their  cases  had  been  before  Presbytery,  would 
have  been  wisely  dissuaded  from  undertaking  a  task  for  which  others 
might  see,  what  they  failed  to  perceive  for  themselves,  that  they 
were  quite  without  proper  qualifications.  A  special  hardship  would 
arise  from  the  uncertainty  as  to  pecuniary  assistance  under  which 
the  candidate  must  be  placed.  He  cannot  have  his  case  presented  to 
the  Board  of  Education  until  Presbytery  has  passed  upon  it,  nor  can  he 
draw  any  money  from  their  treasury  until  they  have  received  and  acted 
upon  the  recommendation  of  Presbytery.  Nine  of  the  home  Presby- 
teries meet  only  once  a  year  and  only  thirty-seven  meet  more  than  twice 
annually,  and  sometimes  the  candidate  belongs  to  a  Presbytery  quite 
remote  from  his  place  of  study  ;  a  circumstance  increasing  considerably 
the  difficult V  of  securing  prompt  and  satisfactory  attention  to  his  case. 
After  all,  Presbyteries  are  compelled  to  accept  candidates  for  the  minis- 
try, as  Sessions  accept  candidates  for  admission  to  full  communion, 
largely  upon  their  own  profession.  A  man  expresses  a  profound  con- 
viction that  God  has  called  him  to  preach  the  Gospel.  If  there  are 
circumstances  which  make  the  profession  not  credible  the  candidate  must 
be  refused;  but  otherwise  it  would  be  a  hazardous  thing  to  turn  him 
away,  even  though  the  general  impression  made  were  decidedly  unfavor- 
able. Long  experience  has  shown  that  God  has  selected  as  his  agents 
many  men  whom  we  should  never  have  dreamed  of  choosing.  We 
believe  that  we  must  take  some  risks  in  the  future,  as  we  have  done  in 
the  past,  and  give  men  who  are  convinced  of  a  divine  call  a  patient 
trial.  Under  the  oversight  of  the  Presbytery,  as  well  as  of  the  Board 
of  Education,  with  the  help  of  repeated  reports  from  teachers,  a  con- 
clusion can  be  reached,  and  those  who  are  found  by  such  testing  to  be 
unpromising  can  be  rejected.  It  must  always  be  remembered  that  the 
money  spent  in  educating  men  who  do  not  finally  reach  the  ministry  is 
far  from  being  wasted.  In  not  a  few  cases  it  is  paid  back  in  after  years 
into  the  treasury  of  the  Board;  but,  whether  returned  or  not,  it  has 
been  well  employed  in  making  young  men  better  fitted  for  the  service  of 
Christ  as  physicians,  lawyers,  teachers,  business  men  or  the  like. 

The  Board  have  felt  it  to  be  their  duty  to  state  frankly  to  the  Assem- 
bly the  embarrassments  and  difficulties  which  are  likely,  in  their  judg- 
ment, to  arise  in  the  effort  to  put  the  new  Rule  into  execution. 

No  action  was  taken  by  the  Assembly  endorsing  the  opinion  expressed 
by  the  S])ecial  Coraraitlee  that  aid  should  not  be  granted  by  the  Board 
to  candidates  until  they  have  entered  the  Junior  class  at  college.     But 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  7 

this  opinion,  twice  given  in  the  body  of  the  Eeport,  deserves  thoughtful 
consideration.  The  opinion  is  probably  based  upon  the  presumption 
that  a  young  man  is  hardly  in  a  situation  to  come  to  a  satisfactory  assur- 
ance on  the  subject  of  a  call  before  the  conclusion  of  his  second  year  in 
college.  The  experience  of  the  Board,  however,  has  been  to  the  effect 
that  a  very  considerable  number  of  candidates  come  to  college  with  a 
sense  of  call  to  the  ministry  fully  developed.  Some  of  these  have  had 
from  earliest  childhood  a  growing  conviction  of  such  a  call,  and  a  very 
considerable  number  have  reached  this  conviction  in  mature  years  and 
come  to  college  because  the  Church  requires  a  more  extensive  course  of 
training  than  they  have  received.  One  principal  object  of  the  Board  is 
to  encourage  and  enable  such  persons  as  these  to  comply  with  the 
Church's  requirements,  and  to  defer  the  granting  of  aid  until  the  Junior 
year  might  keep  many  of  them  out  of  college  altogether.  The  Board 
beg  to  assure  the  Assembly  that  they  keep  the  closest  watch  over  their 
collegiate  candidates,  and  that  they  have  'in  most  cases  the  intelligent 
and  zealous  cooperation  of  the  teachers  who  preside  over  their  mstruc- 
tion.  The  result  is  the  occasional  dropping  of  undesirable  men;  but  the 
great  majority  prove  true  and  steadfast  to  the  end.  The  Board  recog- 
nize the  Presbyteries  as  having  the  primary  responsibility  in  the  care  of 
candidates.  They  accordingly  report  to  them,  through  their  Education 
Committees,  the  delinquencies  which  come  to  their  knowledge  and  take 
counsel  as  to  the  best  course  to  be  pursued  under  the  circumstances. 

The  Board  called  the  attention  last  year  to  the  results  of  investigation 
carefully  pursued  with  regard  to  the  sufficiency  of  the  preparatory  train- 
ing which  ministerial  candidates  are  now  getting  at  college.  There 
seems  to  be  a  well-grounded  impression  that  the  possession  of  a  college 
diploma  does  not  furnish  an  altogether  satisfactory  assurance  that  the 
graduate  is  well  versed  even  in  such  fundamentally  important  subjects 
as  Latin,  Greek,  philosophy,  history  and  English.  The  extent  to  which 
the  privilege  of  election  of  studies  is  now  carried  in  some  institutions, 
the  proposition  made  in  prominent  circles  to  omit  Greek  from  the 
requirements  for  admission,  and  the  changcis  in  the  curriculum  which 
may  accompany  the  plans  for  a  college  course  to  be  completed  in  three 
years,  are  throwing  a  measure  of  doubt  upon  the  meaning  of  a  college 
diploma  and  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Arts. 

There  is  no  little  difference  at  present  in  the  value  of  diplomas  from 
different  institutions,  and  there  is  an  inequality  therefore  in  our  dealings 
with  students  which  is  a  matter  for  regret  The  Methodist  Episcopal 
Church  established  in  1892  a  **  University  Senate,"  a  bocly  created  for

the  purpose  of  determining  the  minimum  equivalent  of  academic  work  in 
institutions  of  that  Church  for  graduation  to  the  baccalaureate  degree. 
Only  those  institutions  ^vhich  meet  the  requirements  exacted  by  the 
Senate  are  allowed  to  be  designated  as  colleges  in  the  official  lists  of  the 
ucational  institutions  of  the  Church.  The  effect  of  this  action  was  felt 
t  once,  and  in  one  year  some  forty-four  colleges  changed  their  curricula, 
early  all  of  them  in  the  direction  of  a  decided  advance.  We  are 
isposed  to  think  that  our  Presbyterian  Church  might  wisely  indicate 
with  more  precision  than  at  present  just  what  she  is  willing  to  recognize 
as  a  complete  collegiate  course  preparatory  to  studies  in  the  theological 
seminary. 

RECOMMENDATiONS   OF   THE   GENERAL  ASSEMBLY 

We  are  happy  to  report  that  some  Presbyteries  have  taken  measures 
for  the  enlarging  and  strengthening  of  their  Committees  on  Education; 
that  renewed  care  is  shown  in  some  cases  with  regard  to  the  examina- 
tion of  candidates  as  to  personal  reli^on  and  motives  for  seeking  the 
ministry;  that  sometimes  special  meetings  have  been  held  for  the  exam- 
ination of  candidates  for  licensure  and  ordination,  in  order  that  ample 
time  may  be  given  to  so  important  a  work ;  and  we  understand  that 
some  have  complied  with  the  suggestion  about  combining  written  with 
oral  examinations  for  the  better  testing  of  candidates;  but  we  are  not 
aware  of  correspondence  of  the  Presbyteries  with  one  another  in  order 
that  a  common  standard  of  strictness  may  everywhere  prevail  through 
the  Church  for  the  general  advantage  and  protection. 

We  beg  to  call  new  attention  to  the  recommendations  of  the  Assembly 
of  1900  on  these  subjects,  and  also  to  the  suggestion  of  the  Sewickley 
Conference  of  1899,  that  an  annual  sermon  might  profitably  be  deliv- 
ered  before  Presbytery  on  some  topic  related  to  ministerial  education. 
The  subject  is  of  paramount  importance,  and  stands  in  such  intimate 
•  relationship  with  all  of  the  great  departments  of  the  work  of  the 
Church,  and  the  present  exigency  is  of  so  serious  a  character,  that 
special  measures  appear  to  be  necessary  in  order  that  public  attention 
may  be  kept  constantly  riveted  upon  it. 

THE   QUESTION   OF   NUMBERS 

The  Board,  at  its  first  meeting  after  the  General  Assembly  of  1900, 
made  a  careful  estimate  of  the  number  of  candidates  for  whom  it  would 
probably  be  called  upon  to  provide.     The  conclusion  reached  was  that 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OP  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION.  9 

725  applications  might  be  expected.  They  regret  to  have  to  report 
that  they  have  actually  enrolled  only  600.  This  is  the  smallest 
number  s'noe  1884,  when  577  names  were  enrolled.  There  had  been  a 
constant  increase  in  numbers  from  1879,  with  the  exception  of  the  years 
1892  and  1893,  until  the  maximum  of  1037  was  reached  in  1896. 
Since  that  date  the  number  has  steadily  declined.  If  we  compare  the 
figures  for  1896  with  those  for  1900,  we  find  a  falling  off  in  Missouii 
from  forty-one  to  twenty -one;  in  Illinois  from  sixty-eight  to  thirty -four; 
in  New  York  from  eighty-three  to  fifty-two;  in  New  Jersey  from  eighty- 
four  to  thirty-seven;  in  Ohio  from  120  to  seventy,  and  in  Pennsylvania 
from  201  to  142.  The  losses  are  thus  quite  conspicuous  in  the  very 
strongholds  of  our  Church.  The  Special  Committee  of  the  Genera) 
Assembly  gave  their  attention  to  a  number  of  reasons  commonly 
assigned  for  these  losses,  such  as  the  alleged  oversupply  of  ministers,  the 
financial  depression  through  which  the  country  had  recently  passed,  the 
distractions  due  to  present  theological  discussions,  the  financial  embar- 
rassment of  the  great  Mission  Boards  of  our  Church,  the  secularizing 
influences  of  State  colleges,  and  particularly  a  spirit  of  worldliness 
infecting  the  Church  and  lowering  her  spiritual  vitality.  In  their 
opinion  the  root  of  the  difficulty  is  to  be  found  in  the  last- mentioned 
cause.  Certain  it  seems  to  be  that  the  churches  have,  to  a  large  degree, 
lost  their  old-time  inte«'est  and  zeal  in  the  multiplication  of  the  ministry, 
and  are  not  feeling  as  keenly  as  of  old  the  responsibility  which  rests 
upon  them  to  seek  its  replenishing  by  prayer  to  Him  who  gives  the  secret 
call  of  the  Spirit  by  which  our  young  men  are  inclined  aud  constrained 
to  volunteer.  God  is  waiting  to  be  inquired  of  by  His  people.  When 
they  are  awakened  to  a  sense  of  need,  when  they  ardently  desire  an 
increase,  they  will  ask  God  earnestly,  and  He  will  give  a  gracious 
answer.  It  must  be  plain,  under  existing  circumstances,  how  much 
depends  upon  those  already  filling  the  sacred  office.  The  minister  is  the 
leader  of  the  people  at  the  time  of  public  prayer,  and  we  must  look  to 
him  to  revive  the  old-fashioned  habit  of  praying  for  an  increase  of  the 
ministry  at  the  Sabbath  services  and  at  the  weekly  prayer  meeting,  and 
to  encourage  by  his  example  and  influence  a  similar  prayer  in  families 
and  in  the  closet,  and  a  disposition  on  the  part  of  parents  to  dedicate 
their  children  to  the  holy  office. 

With  respect  to  the  young  men  themselves,  we  must  not  forget  how 
persistently  they  have  been  told  of  late  that  there  is  no  room  for  them 
in  the  ministry,  which  is  alleged  to  be  overcrowded,  and  they  have  been 
tempted  to  devote  their  attention  to  teaching,  to  business,  to  the  natural 


10  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION. 

sciences,  to  law  and  to  medicine,  notwithstanding  the  I'eal  and  all  but 
startling  overcrowding  of  some  of  these  professions  and  pursuits.  It 
must  be  remembered  also  that  young  men  in  our  various  institutions  of 
learning  have  undoubtedly  felt  the  influence  of  current  discu^ions  with 
regard  to  the  degree  of  authority  which  may  now  be  accorded  to  the 
Holy  Scriptures;  and  even  those  who  have  by  no  means  lost  their  per- 
sonal faith  in  Christ  have  not  always  felt  sufficiently  sure  with  regard  to 
the  Bible  to  be  ready  to  devote  their  lives  to  a  work  which  requires 
unshaken  confidence  in  the  Holy  Book  as  the  very  Word  of  God,  and 
as  their  one  instrument  for  accomplishing  the  redemption  of  the  world. 
It  is  by  no  means  impossible,  however,  that  the  decrease  in  the  number 
of  candidates  may  prove  to  be  a  not  altogether  unmitigated  eviL  Pos- 
sibly the  renewed  attention  called  to  the  necessity  of  prudent  oversight 
on  the  part  of  Presbyteries,  added  to  the  constant  influence  of  the  strict 
rules  of  the  Board,  may  have  kept  back  some  very  unsuitable  men  who 
would  otherwise  have  oflered  themselves  as  candidates.  It  may  be  also 
that  the  public  discussion  of  certain  hardships  of  a  minister's  life  under 
existing  conditions  may  be  keeping  back  some  who  have  not  a  sufficient 
sense  of  a  call  from  God  to  make  them  ready  for  self-denial  and  sacri- 
fice. We  trust  that  all  proper  measures  may  be  taken  to  reduce  what- 
ever hardships  may  be  attendant  upon  a  minister's  lot  to  a  minimum; 
nevertheless  we  are  of  the  opinion  that  the  ministry  gains  rather  than 
loses  when  men  are  kept  out  of  it  who  are  repelled  by  its  difficulties 
and  trials. 

MEASURES  TO   SECURE   AN   INCREASE 

Attractive  leaflets  have  been  sent  out  annually  for  a  number  of  years 
to  the  young  people  of  our  churches  in  order  to  excil  e  their  interest  in 
the  work  of  the  ministry  and  in  the  necessary  preparatory  education. 
A  special  illustrated  leaflet  was  sent  out  during  the  past  year  to  Chris- 
tian Endeavor  Societies  for  a  similar  purpose.  A  leaflet  entited  **  Mar- 
tyr Missionaries,"  together Vith  another  treating  of  a  call  to  the  min- 
istry, was  sent  among  the  college  students  of  the  Junior  or  Senior 
classes.  There  are  not  wanting  noble  spirits  among  our  young  men,  and 
the  hope  was  cherished  that  the  story  of  the  English  missionary  martyrs 
in  China — Brookes,  and  Norman,  and  Robinson — and  our  own  Church's 
martyrs  at  Paoting  Fu,  to  say'nothing  of  the  many  native  Christians  who 
have  sacrificed  their  lives  for  Christ's  sake  in  China,  might  move  some 
of  them,  and  that  the  sight^of  their  companions  in  Christ  falling  at  the 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  11 

front  of  the  battle  might  rouse  their  eager  spirits  to  brave  the  dauger 
and  hasten  to  take  the  places  made  vacant  by  the  slain. 

Such  missives  as  these  may  bear  fruit  in  due  season.  Meantime  noth- 
ing seems  to  us  more  important  than  the  efforts  ^hich  have  been  made  to 
disabuse  the  minds  of  the  people  of  God  in  our  churches  of  the  impres- 
sion that  too  many  men  are  offering  themselves  for  the  ministry,  and  to 
awaken  a  sense  of  peril  to  the  cause  they  love  arising  from  an  actual 
dearth  of  candidates.  In  proportion  as  such  efforts  meet  with  success 
there  will  be  aroused  a  spirit  of  prayer,  and  when  the  Church  prays 
with  earnestness  and  importunity  the  problem  will  be  solved  and  her  now 
pressing  need  wUl  be  supplied. 

PRESBYTERIAL   AND   SYNODICAL   OVERSIGHT 

We  are  of  the  opinion  that  successful  prosecution  of  the  work 
of  educating  men  for  the  ministry  ought  to  include  not  only  oversight  and 
direction  of  their  studies,  but  also  the  assigning  of  them  to  fields  of 
labor  that  they  may  gain  practical  experience  during  the  progress  of 
their  studies,  have  opportunities  for  the  exercise  of  their  gifts,  and  be 
ultimately  directed  to  places  of  settlement.  The  Board  have  accordingly 
observed  with  peculiar  interest  during  the  year  one  or  two  movements 
which  indicate  an  earnest  effort  to  exercise  oversight  of  this  nature,  and 
from  which  important  results  may  flow.  Thus  Saginaw  Presbytery  have 
not  only  endeavored  to  relieve  the  pecuniary  necessities  of  the  candi- 
dates under  their  care,  but  have  also  put  them  under  the  direction  of 
their  Committee  on  Home  Missions  and  Sabbath-school  Work.  The 
result  is  that  five  Sabbath  schools  are  being  carried  on  by  the  labors  of 
these  candidates  within  a  radius  of  five  miles  from  Alma  College,  where 
they  are  pursuing  their  studies.  The  Education  Committee  of  the 
Synod  of  Indiana  last  fall  called  attention  to  the  important  duty  of 
removing  all  grounds  for  the  allegation  that  there  is  an  oversupply  of 
ministers,  an  allegation  which  tends  to  discourage  young  men  from  enlist- 
ing for  service,  and  prevents  that  full  sympathy  with  our  educational 
work  which  its  importance  demands.  It  expressed  the  belief  that  the 
best  way  of  attaining  this  object  would  be  by  providij^g„(Pip,^ffi^Jftr>^ 
methodfor  promptly  and  judicfously  utilizing  the  whole  ministerial 
force  at  the  command  of  the  Church,  and  for  the  training  of  which  she 
has^  ma^  careful  provision.  _  It  proposed  a  plan  by  which  it  hoped  that 
the  object  thus  indicated  might  be  attained.  This  plan  has  been 
adopted  by  the  Synod,  and  a  Permanent  Committee,  called  the  **  Syn-. 
od*s  Committee  on  Supplies,'*  has  been  appointed  to  whom  all  vacancies 


12         ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION. 

miffit  be  reported,  and  to  whom  is  given  the  authority  to  send  supplies 
to  vacant  pulpits  for  a  certun  proportion  of  the  Sabbaths  occurring 
during  the  period  of  vacancy.  This  plan  seems  to  be,  in  its  general 
features,  the  same  as  the  plan  which  has  been  in  more  or  less  successful 
operation  in  *^^^  TTn'^^"^  Pr^MaKyf^rigy^  fihliroh  ^^^  &  number  of  years. 
The  fact  that  the  Indiana  plan  embraces  a  whole  Synod  affords  better 
hope  for  success  than  if  it  were  limited  to  a  Presbytery,  or  if,  on  the 
other  hand,  it  ambitiously  endeavored  to  embrace  the  whole  Church  in 
the  sphere  of  its  operations.  We  have  seen  evidences,  in  our  care  of 
candidates,  of  very  serious  evils  arising  from  the  consciousness  that  soon 
comes  over  them,  under  existing  conditions,  that  no  one  is  caring  for 
^hem,  and  that  they  must,  either  individually  or  by  combinations 
among  themselves,  look  out  for  prompt  settlement.  Self  is  in  very  great 
Ldanger  of  asserting  itself;  the  most  attractive  fields  tempt  the  ambition 

if  the  candidate  ;  and  the  aggressive,  self-denying  spirit  of  the  mission- 
[ary,  which  craves  unoccupied  territory  and  braves  danger  at  the  front 

)f  the  battle,  is  in  danger  of  utter  extinction. 

FACTS   ABOUT   CANDIDATES 

There  were  346  candidates  under  the  care  of  the  Board  daring  the 
year  in  the  various  theological  seminaries  of  the  Church;  236  in  different 
colleges;  and  18  for  special  reasons  were  given  scholarship  aid  in  pre- 
paratory schools.  Three  of  the  candidates  are  Bohemians;  4  are  Span- 
ish-speaking students;  29  are  Germans;  68  are  negroes;  one  is  preparing 
for  work  among  his  Jewish  fellow-countrymen,  and  one  is  a  candidate 
for  work  among  the  French- Americans.  It  is  a  matter  for  deepest 
regret  that  we  have  at  present  no  candidates  for  work  among  the  many 
thousands  of  Italians  who  have  come  to  America,  to  whom  we  owe  the 
Gospel,  and  who  exhibit  a  remarkable  readiness  to  listen  to  its  message. 
We  call  the  attention  of  the  Assembly  to  the  need  of  prayer  that  God 
will  be  pleased  to  raise  up  in  the  Italian  churches  which  have  been 
organized  in  various  parts  of  our  land  suitable  candidates  for  the 
ministry.  The  source  of  supply  is  at  present  precarious  and  the  need 
is  g'*eat. 

Four  hundred  and  five  of  the  candidates  enrolled  have  been 
marked  "high'*  or  **  medium  plus"  in  scholarship.  While  it  is  a 
disappointment  when  some  are  marked  only  **  medium,"  we  are  becom- 
ing more  and  more  conscious  of  the  fact  that  some  of  the  most  satisfac- 
tory men,  in  the  long  run,  and  some  of  the  most  acceptable  preachers 
and  practical   workers,  are  to  be  found  in  this  latter  class.     Many  of 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  13 

them  have  labored  in  the  face  of  peculiar  difficulties,  and  amidst  the 
privations  of  pinching  poverty.  No  discouragements  have  daunted 
them;  the  hard  school  of  experience  has  disciplined  them  for  elective 
service.  They  are  commonly  humble  and  devout,  ready  for  anything 
that  may  be  proposed  for  them,  and  are  soon  recognized  by  the  people 
as  belonging  to  that  class  of  ministers  \?ho  are  concerned  principally, 
not  in  what  the  people  can  do  for  them,  but  in  what  they  can  do  for 
the  people. 

One  has  died  since  the  last  report,  and  four  have  been  com- 
pelled by  sickness,  financial  embarrassments  or  other  pressing  reasons  to 
turn  aside  for  the  time  from  the*  prosecution  of  their  studies.  Ten 
have  been  dropped  from  the  roll,  according  to  the  Board's  unvarying 
rule,  on  account  of  their  having  married. 

The  Newberry  scholar,  Frederick  William  Loetscher,  and  the 
**  Secretary's  Scholar,'*  John  Brower  McCreery,  have  been  pursuing 
post-graduate  studies  at  Princeton  Theological  Seminary  under  the  joint 
direction  of  the  Board  and  of  the  Faculty  of  the  Seminary.  The 
Board,  at  a  recent  meeting,  resolved  that  the  Newberry  Scholarship 
should  be  ofiered  for  the  next  period  of  three  years  1o  that  candidate, 
under  the  care  of  the  Board,  in  the  present  Middle  class  of  the  Western 
Theological  Seminary,  among  those  recommended  by  the  Faculty,  who 
shall  stand  highest  in  a  competitive  examination  to  be  conducted  by  the 
Board's  Committee.  The  '^  David  Stuart  Banks  Scholarship"  is  still 
held  by  Samuel  X.  Cross,  now  in  the  Junior  class  at  Coe  College,  Cedar 
Eapids,  la.  The  scholarshi[»  provided  by  the  Sabbath-school  of  the  First 
Church,  Philadelphia,  for  a  colored  candidate,  has  been  given  this  year 
to  Frederick  J.  Smith,  of  Lincoln  University.  In  addition  to  the 
**  Newberry  Scholarship  "  and  the  **  Secretary's  Scholarship,"  the  Board 
have  had  in  all  at  their  disposal  during  the  year  twenty-two  special 
scholarships,  each  yielding  one  hundred  dollars  or  more.  The  **  Mutch- 
more  Scholarship"  will  be  awarded  as  soon  as  the  income  becomes 
available. 

The  hope  is  cherished  that  those  who  are  contributing  to  the  Twen- 
tieth Century  Fund  will  include  in  the  objects  selected  the  Scholarship 
Fund  of  the  Board  of  Education;  founding  scholarships  which  shall 
yield  more  than  the  average  amount  which  is  given  under  ordinary 
circumstances,  and  which  may  be  awarded  under  special  conditions. 

-  The  Corresponding  Secretary  finds  each  year,  in  his  round  of  visits 
to  institutions  where  candidates  are  pursuing  their  studies,  the  value  of 
personal  acquaintance  with  the  young  men,  and  the  importance  of  per-

sona]  supervision.  He  only  regrets  that  he  cannot  meet  each  candidate 
face  to  face  in  the  course  of  the  year.  In  those  caaes  where  the  general 
rule  of  the  Board  is  complied  with  and  the  candidates  are  sent  to  col- 
leges under  Presbyterian  influence  and  control,  the  sympathy  and 
encouragement  and  counsel,  as  well  as  the  admonitions  and  the  warn- 
ings of  which  they  all  to  a  greater  or  less  degree  stand  in  need,  are 
likely  to  be  given ;  and  the  Board  express  the  hope  that  Presbyteries  will 
only  in  higrhly  exceptional  cases  permit  their  candidates  to  go  elsewhere 
for  their  education. 

FINANCIAL   CONDITION 

The  Board  closed  the  year  1899-1900  with  a  balance  in  the  treasury 
of  SV216.41.  In  the  Report  to  the  Assembly  of  1900  it  was  explained 
that  this  balance  arose  from  the  fact  that  the  Board  had  based  their 
expenditures  upon  a  very  conservative  estimate  of  probable  receipts.  There 
was  in  fact,  however,  not  only  an  increase  of  contributions  from 
churches.  Sabbath-schools  and  societies,  but  in  addition  a  special  gift  of 
a  considerable  amount  which  came  to  the  treasury  shortly  before  the 
close  of  the  financial  year.  Under  these  circumstances  the  Board 
might  have  increased  more  generously  the  scholarship  aid  to  be  given 
during  the  following  year;  but  they  thought  the  more  prudent  course 
advisable,  and  at  the  June  meeting  fixed  the  scholarship  rate  for  the 
year  at  the  low  figure  of  880  for  college  and  seminary  studaits,  and 
870  for  students  in  the  preparatory  course  ;  an  increase  of  only  five 
dollars  over  the  figures  of  the  previous  year.  Who  could  tell  whether 
the  increase  in  the  number  of  candidates  for  which  prayer  had  been 
requested  might  not  come  that  very  year  ?  If  the  increase  should  come 
it  was  important  to  be  prepared  for  it.  Those,  however,  wh6  prayed 
and  hoped  for  an  increase  were  doomed  to  disappointment.  The  decline 
in  numbers  showed  no  abatement.  It  was  thought  to  be  a  conservative 
estimate  when  the  Board,  last  June,  based  its  calculations  for  expendi- 
ture upon  the  supposition  that  there  would  in  1900-1901  be  725  candi- 
dates to  care  for.  This  was  calculating  for  312  less  than  were  enrolleil 
in  1896.  The  estimated  numb«^r,  however,  proved  to  be  12-3  more 
than  the  reality.  Only  600  candidates  were  enrolled,  and  the  expendi- 
tures of  the  Treasurer  were,  therefore,  about  ten  thousand  dollars  less 
than  was  anticipated.  The  opportunity,  under  this  condition  of  aflmirs, 
seems  to  be  at  length  at  hand,  if  the  General  Assembly  see  fit  to  give 
their  approval,  to  iucre&se  the  rate  of  scholarship  aid,  at  least  for  the 
oming  year,  to  what  it  was  but  a  few  years  ago,  and  make  it  one  hun- 


ANNUAL  REPORT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION.         15 

dred  dollars  for  college  and  seminary  students  and  ninety  for  prepara- 
tory students.  They  propose  therefore  to  take  a  legacy  of  $5000, 
recently  paid,  to  add  to  it  the  balance  from  last  year's  account  and  rlso 
a  portion  of  this  year's  balance,  arising  from  decreased  expenditures, 
making  a  total  of  $17,973  to  be  held  in  reserve  for  this  purpose, 
so  that  the  Board  may  be  able  to  supplement  to  some  extent  the  amount 
which  their  income  from  ordinary  sources  may  permit  them  to  disburse 
to  candidates.  They  venture  upon  this  proposition  with  some  anxiety, 
arising  from  the  fact  that  the  ordinary  income  is  so  small  that  any 
sudden  increase  in  the  number  of  candidates,  such  as  came  in  1894,  1895- 
and  1896,  following  the  great  revivals  of  religion,  produces  instant 
embarrassment,  and  the  disbursement  of  any  reserve  fund  which  may 
have  been  providentially  secured  should  be  resolved  upon  with  the 
utmost  caution. 

MEMBERSHIP   OF   THE    BOARD 

The  Board  greatly  regret  to  be  compelled  to  report  the  death,  on 
the  10th  of  November,  1900,  of  Rudolph  S.  Walton,  who  was  elected  a

6.  That  it  be  recommended  to  the  Board  that  the  aid  to  collie  and 
seminary  students  for  the  coming  year  be  fixed  at  the  rate  of  $100  and

funds  will  warrant  it. 

7.  That  in  the  investment  of  moneys  arising,  whether  from  the  pro- 
<;eeds  of  unrestricted  legacies  or  from  the  transfer  from  the  Permanent 
Fund  to  the  Current  Fund,  authority  shall  be  and  is  hereby  given  to  the 
Board  of  Education  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  in  the  United  States  of 
America,  and  through  them  to  their  Finance  Committee,  to  invest  any 
portion  or  all  of  the  moneys  aforesaid  in  first  lien  bonds  of  companies 
incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  State  of  Pennsylvania,  it  to  be  under- 
stood that  this  authority  shall  not  in  any  sense  interfeie  with  the  discre- 
tion of  the  Board  or  its  Finance  Committee  in  making  any  investments 
in  such  securities  as  are  now  authorized  by  the  laws  of  the  ISiate  of 
Pennsylvania,  the  above  action  being  at  all  times  subject  to  the  approval 
of  two- thirds  of  the  entire  membership  of  the  Board. 

8.  That  the  Assembly  confirm  the  action  of  the  Board  in  electing 
John  B.  Gest,  Esq. ,  to  fill  the  place  of  Rudolph  S.  Walton,  deceased,

reelected  to  serve  for  three  years, 

10.  That  the  Assembly  express  satisfaction  at  the  excellent  financial 
<;ondition  of  the  Board,  the  carefulness  with  which  its  funds  are  man- 
aged, and  the  wisdom  which  has  characterized  its  policy. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

DeWiit  M.  Benham,  Chairman.

ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  47 

RULES  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION 

RELATING  TO 

CANDIDATES    FOR    THE    MINISTRY. 


I. — Dependence  of  the  Board  of  Education  upon  the  Pbesbytebibs  of 

THE  Church. 

1.  The  Board  of  Education  shall  receive  and  aid  candidates  for  the  ministry  of 
the  Gospel  only  npon  the  recommendation  of  a  Presbytery  of  the  Church  ;  and  the 
Presbytery  is  responsible  for  their  examination,  subsequent  care,  and  the  designa- 
tion of  the  annual  amount  of  aid  to  be  granted  to  them,  within  the  limits  set  by 
the  General  Assembly. 

2.  The  Board  will  in  each  case  look  especially  to  the  Education  Committee  of 
the  Presbyteiy  for  filling  out  and  forwarding  the  form  of  recommendation  re- 
quired for  the  reception  of  a  candidate,  and  alio  for  the  pastoral  care  of  the  same 
until  his  entrance  upon  his  official  duties. 

3.  As  a  general  rule  the  Board  will  receive  any  young  man  of  whose  examina- 
tion and  recommendation,  in  conformity  with  its  requirements,  proper  notification 
has  been  g^ven,  but  it  shall  be  at  liberty  to  refuse  new  candidates  beyond  its  ability 
to  support  them  ;  and  it  will  not  give  aid  to  students  |rom  the  foreign  missionary 
field  unless  they  have  been  recommended  by  our  foreign  misdionaries  abroad,  or 
have  come  to  study  in  this  country  by  a  special  invitation  given  from  this  Board 
upon  the  request  of  other  duly  recognized  Church  authorities,  or  of  missionaries 
resident  on  the  fields  from  which  they  come. 

II.— Reception  of  Candidates. 

1.  The  encouragement  of  a  young  man  to  enter  the  Gospel  ministry  is  a  mat- 
ter of  serious  concern  both  to  himself  and  to  the  Church,  and  it  should  be  given 
only  by  those  who  have  proper  knowledge  of  his  mental  and  moral  character,  ac- 
companied with  much  counsel  and  prayer,  and  directly  by  a  single  desire  for  the 
glory  of  God.  Every  candidate  should  join  that  Presbytery  to  which  he  would  most 
naturally  belong,  and  he  should  be  introduced  to  it  either  by  his  pastor  or  by  some 
member  of  the  Education  Committee  after  such  acquaintance  as  will  warrant  his 
taking  the  responsibility  of  so  doing. 

2.  The  Presbytery,  in  examining  students  with  a  view  to  their  recommenda- 
tion for  aid,  must  embrace  such  points  as  are  indicated  by  the  following  questions,  to 
which  definite  answers,  by  the  direction  of  the  Assembly,  will  invariably  be  required 
by  the  Board  :  Give  name  of  candidate  in  full.  Age?  Residence?  Has  Presby- 
tery (or  the  Education  Committee  in  the  interim  between  the  meetings  of  Presby- 
tery) examined  him  on  the  following  points,  and  were  his  answers  satisfactory : 
Piety?  Motives  for  seeking  the  ministry  ?  Talents?  Health?  Promise  of  prac- 
tical efficiency  ?  Is  he  free  from  expensive  and  injurious  habits?  How  long  has  he 
been  a  communicant  in  a  Presbyterian  church  ?  Give  the  name  of  the  church.  If 
in  an  academy,  give  name  of  academy  and  class.  If  in  college,  or  ready  to  enter, 
give  name  of  college  and  c^asa.  If  in  seminary,  or  ready  to  enter,  give  name 
of  seminary  and  class.  If  in  a  Theological  Seminary,  has  he  pursued  a  full  col- 
legiate course?  If  so,  give  the  name  of  the  college  of  which  he  is  a  graduate.  If 
not  a  college  graduate,  has  he  had  the  equivalent  of  a  college  course?  If  so,  send 
a  detailed  sta&ment  of  his  previous  studies  and  career.  Has  he  been  recommended 
to  Presbytery  by  his  Church  Session  ?  C^in  he  recite  the  Westminster  Shorter 
Catechism  ?  What  is  the  smallest  amount  required  to  meet  his  really  necessary 
expenses  to  the  end  of  the  fiscal  year,  viz. :  April  1  ?  Has  he  read  a  copy  of  the 
rules  ?    Does  he  accept  the  requirements  contained  in  them  ?    At  a  meeting  of  the 


48  ANNUAL   REPORT   OF   THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION. 

Presbytery  of  .  .  .  .  (or  of  the  Edacation  Committee)  held  at  .  .  .  .on 
the  .  .  .  day  of  .  .  .  .19  ,  the  candidate  for  the  ministry  named  above, 
having  been  satisfactorily  examined  as  to  the  points  indicated  by  the  foregoing 
questions,  was  recommended  to  the  Board  of  Edacation  for  aid  to  the  amount  speci- 
fied.   Signed  by  ...     .     Chairman  Edn(*ational  Committee. 

3.  Every  candidate  seeking  aid  from  the  funds  of  the  Board  of  Education  is  re- 
quired to  set  forth  in  a  paper  over  his  own  sifirnature  the  extent  of  his  inability  to 
provide  for  himself  the  necessary  funds  for  his  education.  The  same  paper  shall 
contain  his  pledge  that  he  will  refund  to  the  Board  of  Edacation  all  moneys  re- 
ceived by  him  therefrom  in  any  of  the  contingencies  mentioned  in  Rule  III,  8. 

4.  No  candidate  shall  be  received  by  the  Board  who  has  not  been  a  member  of 
the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  some  cloiiely  related  body,  for  at  least  one  year  ;  who 
has  not  been  recommended  to  the  Pre«by(ery  by  the  Session  of  the  church  of  which 
he  is  a  member,  and  who  is  not  sufficiently  advanced  in  study  to  enter  college,  ex- 
cept in  extraordinary  cases. 

III. — Scholarships. 

1.  Tlie  annual  scholarships  to  candidates  shall  be  the  same  in  amount  for  theo- 
logical and  collegiate  students,  and  not  exceed  |150  ;  for  those  in  the  preparatory 
course  the  amount  shall  not  exceed  |100. 

2.  These  scholarships  shall  be  paid  to  a  student  only  on  the  reception  of  par- 
ticular and  satisfactory  reports  from  his  professors,  embracing  the  following  points  : 
Christian  Character?  Scholarship?  Rhetorical  Ability?   Punctuality?  Economy? 

3.  The  Board  may  increase  or  diminish,  in  a  general  ratio,  the  scholarships  in 
case  of  unusual  surplus  or  deficiency  in  funds. 

4.  No  payment  shall  be  made  in  advance.  Each  payment  shall  be  acknowl- 
edged by  a  receipt  signed  by  the  candidate  or  by  the  person  authorized  by  him  to 
receive  it.  And  this  receipt  shall  contain  a  pledge  to  return  the  amount  given, 
with  interest,  in  case  he  of  his  own  accord  turn  aside  from  his  ministerial  calling. 

5.  In  order  to  suit  the  period  when  the  students  most  need  assistance,  and 
when  the  reports  from  professors  can  be  most  satisfactorily  made,  the  reports  shall 
ordinarily  be  made  on  the  first  days  of  October,  January  and  April.  The  pay- 
ments of  a  student  whose  recommendation  U  made  at  any  time  between  those  days 
may  be  expected  to  commence  at  the  date  of  it. 

6.  The  Board  will  in  no  case  be  responsible  for  the  debts  of  students,  but  it  is 
expected  of  them  that  the  scholarship  shall  be  first  applied  to  the  payment  of 
tuition  and  boarding. 

7.  The  payments  to  the  candidates  shall  cease  regularly  at  the  close  of  the 
collegiate  year,  or  earlier,  when  the  time  for  which  they  were  recommended  by  the 
Presbytery  has  expired,  and  also  as  soon  as  it  is  determined  that  they  are  suffer- 
ing from  prolonfEed  ill-health,  which  may  unfit  them  for  the  work  of  the  n^istry, 
or  as  soon  as  their  private  circumstances  enable  them  to  dispense  with  assistanoe 
and  if  they  have  been  manifestly  improvident,  or  have  contracted  debts  without 
reasonable  prospect  of  payment,  or  if  they  have  married  since  the  last  payment,  or 
if  they  have  received  assistance  from  any  other  educational  board  or  society,  the 
entire  three  months'  appropriation  shall  be  forfeited. 

8.  The  sams  of  money  appropriated  by  the  Board  shall  be  refunded  to  it,  with 
interest,  in  case  a  student  fails  to  enter  on  or  continue  in  the  work  of  the  ministry 
(unless  it  appears  that  he  is  providentiallv  prevented),  or  if  he  oeases  to  adhere  to 
the  standards  of  the  Presbyterian  Church,  or  if  he  changes  his  place  of  stndy  con- 
trary to  the  directions  of  the  Presbytery,  or  continue  to  prosecute  his  studies  at  an 
iostitution  not  approved  by  it  or  by  the  Board,  or  if  he  withdraws  his  connection 
from  the  Chnrch  of  which  this  Board  is  the  organ  without  famishing  a  satisfactory 
reason. 

9.  A  scholarship  afforded  by  the  Presbyterian  Church,  through  the  Board  of 
Education,  is  to  be  regarded  by  the  candidate  who  receives  its  benefit  as  the 
Church's  cheerful  contribiitioo  to  facilitate  and  expedite  his  preparation  for  the  holy 
ministry,  and  may  be  accepted  as  a  gift  with  the  understanding  that  he  is  thereby 
simply  obliged  to  a  warmer  interest  in  her  efforts  for  the  advancement  of  the  Re- 
deemer's kingdom,  and  especially  to  the  use  of  the  means  necessary  to  instruct  and 


ANNUAL   REPORT   OP  THE   BOARD   OF   EDUCATION.  49 

sfcimnlate  her  members  in  the  dnty  of  multiplying  and  sending  forth  preachers  of 
the  Gospel  of  salvation  to  all  the  world.  If,  howeyer,  any  candidate  should  prefer 
to  reoeive  it  as  a  loan,  the  Board  of  Education  is  given  authority  to  lend  the 
amount  without  interest,  and  to  give  the  borrower  a  credit  of  $150  for  each  year 
of  service  spent,  at  the  conclusion  of  his  education,  upon  a  mission  field  at  home  or 
abroad. 

10.  While  the  Church  in  providing  scholarships  for  her  candidates,  makes  no 
specific  conditions  as  to  the  particular  kind  of  service  in  the  ministiy  which  they 
will  be  expected  to  render  upon  the  completion  of  their  theological  training, 
nor  as  to  the  character  or  situation  of  the  place  where  they  shall  labor,  nevertheless 
her  judgment  is  that  they  ought  to  cultivate  a  missionary  spirit,  as  Christlike, 
apostolic  and  timely,  and  tibat  it  would  be  highly  becoming  in  them^  under  all  ordi- 
nary ciroamstances,  to  ofifer  their  services,  at  the  conclusion  of  their  education,  for 
work  in  missionary  fields,  oyer  remembering  the  abounding  destitution  in  our  own 
country  as  well  as  in  foreign  lands  ;  the  peculiar  fitness  of  young  men  for  such 
work  ;  the  honor,  priyilege  and  advantage  pertaining  to  it ;  the  natural  expectations 
of  the  Church  which  has  trained  them  in  the  hope  that  they  would  endure  hard- 
ness as  good  soldiers ;  and,  above  idl,  the  spirit  of  the  last  command  of  our  ascended 
Lord. 

lY. — Cass  of  Cakdidatus. 

1.  Candidates  are  required,  except  in  extraordinary  oases,  and  then  only 
with  the  explicit  permission  of  their  Presbyteries,  to  pursue  a  thorough  course  ol 
study  preparatory  to  that  of  theology,  in  institutions  that  sympathize  with  the 
doctrinal  teachings  of  the  Presbyterian  Church  ;  and,  when  prepared,  to  x>ursue  a 
three  years'  course  of  theological  studies  in  some  semhiary  connected  with  the  same 
Church,  and  no  work  of  jveaching  is  allowed  to  interfere  with  the  diligent  and 
faithful  prosecution  of  their  prescribed  studies  until  the  close. 

2.  The  Board  can  rely  only  upon  the  Education  Committee  of  each  Presbytery 
for  the  regular  care  of  its  own  candidates,  which  should  include  the  constant  exer- 
cise of  a  parental  oversight  over  them  in  spiritual  tilings,  and  the  bestowment  of 
the  counsel  they  need  as  to  their  mode  of  preparation,  their  place  of  study,  their 
trials,  and  the  occupation  of  their  time,  while  not  engaged  in  study,  in  employ- 
ments which  will  tend  to  qualify  tiiem  for  effective  usefulness  as  pastors  or  evan- 
gelists. 

3.  The  Board  shall  assist  the  Presbytery  in  its  care  of  candidates  by  furnish- 
ing annually  to  the  Education  Committee  a  summary  of  information  from  the  pro- 
fessors' reports  as  to  the  standing  of  each  student ;  and  the  Corresponding  Secre- 
tary shall  exercise  a  general  supervisory  care  over  them,  also  visit  and  address 
them,  when  practicable,  at  the  institution  where  they  are,  in  regard  to  their  duties 
and  the  claims  of  the  office  which  they  have  in  view. 

4.  The  recommendation  of  each  candidate  must  be'annually  renewed  by  his 
Presbytery,  if  possible  at  the  spring  meeting,  in  connection  with  one  from  the 
Session  of  the  church  of  which  he  is  a  member,  and  a  specification  must  be  made 
of  the  amount  needed  by  him ;  and  until  the  notification  of  these  points  has  been 
received  a  student  will  not  be  considered  as  upon  the  roll  for  the  year. 

5.  Recommendations,  or  renewals  of  them,  made  by  an  Education  Committee 
in  the  interim  of  the  sessions  of  a  Presbytery,  shall  be  received  as  sufficient,  pro- 
vided its  action  is  reported  to  the  Presbytery  at  the  next  session  and  not  counter- 
manded to  the  Board. 

6.  If  at  any  time  there  be  discovered  in  a  student  such  defect  in  capacity, 
diligence,  and  especially  in  piety,  as  would  render  his  introduction  into  the  min- 
istry a  doubtful  measure,  it  shall  be  the  sacred  duty  of  the  Board  to  communicate 
without  delay  the  information  received  to  the  Education  Committee  of  his  Presby- 
tery, and  if,  on  careful  inquiry  on  the  part  of  the  Presbytery,  no  satisfactory  expla- 
nation of  the  defect  can  be  obtained,  or  if  no  response  be  received  by  the  Board 
from  the  Presbytery  or  from  its  Committee  on  Education  within  the  current  quar- 
ter, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  Board  to  withdraw  its  aid  altogether. 

7.  Special  care  should  be  exercised  by  the  Presbytery  in  the  examination  of 
students  who  are  about  to  enter  upon  the  theological  course,  according  to  the  in- 


50        ANNUAL  BBPOBT  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  EDUCATION. 

Btraotions  of  the  Form  of  GoyernmeDt  (Chap.  XIV.,  Sec  3);  and  this  examinatioo 
shoald  be  oondnctcd  by  the  Presbytery,  and  be  entirely  satisfactory  as  to  the  "  real 
piety"  of  the  stadents  ''and  the  motiyes  which  have  inflaeaoed  them  to  desire  the 
sacred  office,'*  before  they  are  allowed  to  take  the  final  step  toward  assoming  its 
great  reepousibiUties. 

8.  The  annnal  report,  occasional  pablications  of  this  Board,  and  a  copy  of  the 
Confession  of  Faith  shall  be  sent  gratis  to  all  stadents  under  its  care  who  reqaesi 
tiiem. 

v.— Paetioulab  Dutibb  of  Candidates. 

1.  Inasmuch  as  the  great  aim  of  the  Chnroh  in  the  establishment  of  the  Board 
of  Education  is  the  increase  of  holy  and  faithful  preachers  of  the  Gospel,  the  young 
brethren  who  look  to  this  work  are  earnestly  and  aflectionately  reminded  that  all 
intellectual  acquisitions  are  of  little  value  without  the  cultivation  of  piety,  and 
that  they  are  expected  and  required  to  pay  special  attention  to  the  practical  duues 
of  religion,  such  as  reading  the  Scripturae,  secret  prayer  and  meditation,  occasional 
acts  of  special  consecration  of  themselves  to  Christ  and  to  His  service,  as  their  Re- 
deemer and  as  the  Lord  of  all ;  attendance  at  regular  meetings  on  the  Sabbath  and 
during  the  week,  endeavors  to  promote  the  salvation  of  others,  and  the  exhibition 
at  all  times  of  a  pious  and  consistent  example. 

2.  Inasmuch  as  the  scholar^ips  granted  by  the  Board  will  necessarily  fall 
short  of  a  full  support  of  the  students,  it  will  be  expected  that  they  and  their 
friends  will  make  all  proper  exertions  to  supply  whatever  may  be  wanting. 

3.  When  a  student  shall  find  it  necessary  to  relinquish  study  for  a  time  in 
order  to  increase  his  means  for  support  by  t^kchiog  or  otherwise,  he  shall  first  ob- 
tain the  consent  of  the  Education  Committee  of  the  Presbjtery  or  of  the  Board ; 
and  if,  when  given,  he  shall  not  be  absent  from  study  more  than  three  months,  his 
scholarship  will  be  continued,  but  if  longer,  it  will  be  discontinued,  or  continued 
in  part,  according  to  circumstances. 

4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  each  candidate  connected  with  the  Board  to  report 
himself,  soon  after  the  meeting  of  the  (General  Assembly,  to  the  Education  Com- 
mittee of  his  Presbytery  as  to  his  progress,  wants  and  prospects ;  and  when  any 
of  the  requisitions  of  the  Board  which  affect  him  may  not  be  carried  out  by 
teachers  or  others,  it  becomes  his  duty  to  see  that  they  are  attended  to,  that  delays 
and  losses  to  himself  may  be  prevented. 

5.  The  reception  of  a  scholarship  by  a  student  shall  be  considered  as  express- 
ing a  promise  to  comply  with  all  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Board. 

VI.— Exceptional  Cases. 

1.  The  Board  will  not  ordinarily  take  under  its  care  as  candidates  for  the 
ministry  any  who  have  not  completed  a  course  preparatory  to  college.  If  excep- 
tional cases  are  recommended  by  Presbyteries  the  Board  should  be  certified  that 
there  has  been  a  season  of  thorough  trial  and  approval  under  competent  teachers 
through  two  or  three  years. 

2.  Such  students  are  not  to  expect  the  benefit  of  tcholaiships  for  more  than 
two  years  before  entering  college.

ANNUAL   REPORT   OF  THE   BOARD  OF   EDUCATION.  53 

HINTS  to  the  Chairmen  of  Education  Committees  of  Presby- 
teries as  to  the  Recommendation  of  Candidates  to  the 
Presbyterian  Board  of  Education. 


ARE  SURE  before  any  other  action  is  taken,  that  the  candidate  has  been 
recommeDded  to  Presbytery  by  the  Session  of  his  charch,  as  this  is  the 
fondamental  reqnirement. 

2.  Always  nse  the  recommendation  blanks  provided  by  the  Board. 

3.  Never  pat  renewals  on  blanks  intended  for  first  recommendation  ;  never 
pat  firdt  recommendations  on  renewal  blanks.  Ton  will  thns  prevent  serioas  con- 
fasion  at  the  office  of  the  Board. 

4.  Write  the  recommendations  plainly  in  ink  ;  never  nse  pencil. 

5.  Do  not  write  anything  on  the  recommendation  blanks  other  than  is  re- 
quired by  the  answers.  Additional  notes  of  explanation  which  may  be  necessary 
bhould  be  sent  in  an  accompanying  letter. 

6.  Let  every  qnestion  be  fnlly  answered  when  the  recommendation  is  first 
forwarded  ;  otherwise  additional  correspoodence  will  be  required,  and  much 
delay  and  inconvenience  may  arise. 

7.  In  stating  the  place  and  stage  of  study  of  the  candidate  name  the  class 
and  institution  in  which  he  will  be  under  instruction /or  the  year  which  the  recom- 
mendation is  intended  to  cover  ;  e.  g.,  if  the  recommendation  is  made  out  in  the 
spring,  name  the  institution  and  cla£  which  the  candidate  is  to  enter  in  the  &11. 

8.  Use  New  Recommendation  blank  for  all  candidates  who  have  4iever  been 
accepted  and  enrolled  by  the  Board,  no  matter  how  many  times  recommended  in 
past  years.  Use  Renewal  blank  for  all  candidates  who  have  been  at  any  time 
enrolled  by  the  Board  even  though  subsequently  dropped. 

9.  If  a  candidate,  who  has  at  any  time  previously  been  under  the  care  of  the 
Board,  comes  to  jou  from  another  Presbytery,  send  to  us  your  recommendation  in 
the  form  of  a  renewal ;  and  give  us  the  name  of  the  Presbytery  from  which  you 
receive  him. 

10.  Recommendations  for  new  candidates  should  be  sent  in  as  early  as  may 
be  convenient ;  but  renewals  should  ordinarily  be  deferred  until  Presbyteries  have 
had  time  to  consider  each  case  in  the  light  of  all  information  obtainable  as  to 
candidate's  conduct  and  work  during  the  year.  Such  cases  are  not  in  tbe  least 
imperiled  by  the  delay  occasioned  by  this  ^latient  consideration. 

11.  If  the  candidate  does  not  propose  to  pursue  his  studies,  preparatory  to 
theology,  in  an  institution  which  sympathizes  with  the  doctrinal  teachings  of  the 
Presbyterian  Church  [as  our  rules  require,  except  in  extraordinary  cases],  send 
us  tlie  assurance  that  he  has  the  explicit  permission  of  his  Presbytery,  and  the 
reason  for  the  permission. 

12.  If  the  candidate  is  from  a  foreign  country,  the  assurance  must  be  sent 
to  us  that  he  intends  to  exercise  his  ministry  in  connection  with  the  Chnrch  in  the 
United  States. 

13.  In  corresponding  about  a  candidate,  always  mention  the  Presbytery  to 
which  he  belongs.     This  will  help  us  greatly  in  looking  up  his  case. 

14.  Do  not  mutilate  the  recommendation  blanks,  but  mail  them,  properly 
folded,  in  a  large  envelope.    This  will  aid  us  in  filing  and  indexing. 

15.  Take  no  action  without  careful  stndy  of  the  printed  rules  prescribed  for 
our  mutual  guidance  by  the  General  Assembly.

Church  in  the  U.  S.  A.
