INTERESTING PAPER. The Relative Dutiesdand Responsi- bilities of Clergymen and Lay-

men in a Parish.

(Read before the Church Convention, by Mr. James Millman, French River.)

The subject, as itstands, is divided into two parts: one relating to the clergy, the other tothe laity. order named, we will firet consider briefly ‘the duties and responsibilities of the clergy,” as viewed from a layman’s stand- point,

It is a rare thing for laymen to have av opportunity, euch as this, to dictate to our spiritual advisers on such matters, ® com- plete reversal of the general order of things. Therefore, leet we be tempted to unduly press the advantages which the opportunity afforde, we shall confine ourselves princi- pally to wbat the Word says concerning the duties of the Ministers of the Cross In Acts, Chapter 20, we have that touching farewell charge of St. Paul to the elders of Ephesus, in which be says: “Take heed, therefore, unto yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God which he hsth purchased with His own blood.” Likewise St. Peter, in closing bis first epistle, exhorte the elders in these words: ‘Feed the flock of God which is amorg you taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint but willingly, not for filthy Jucre but of s ready mind, neither as being lords over God’s heritage but being ensamples to the flock.” The words used by St. Peter on this occasion lead us to think that he is probably reminded of bis commission, received thirty years be- fore from the Master Himself. Having received a threefold avowa!l of St. Peter’s love the Savior commissioned bim in those well-known worda “Feed mv sheep, feed my lambs.” This then is the

food for the souls of those of whom the Holy Ghost bath made him overeeer. To accom- plish this too much importance cannot be attached tothe work of the study. Only by earnest prayer, careful preparation and diligent wearching for the highest riches of God, as contained in bis word, can the clergyman hope for any measure of succees

in “feeding the flock.” Equally import- tant is a knowledge of the flock. Said the

“Good Shepherd,” as recordedin John 10, 14, ‘‘I know My sheep.” How many of our clergy know—in the true sense of that work—tbeir parishoners ? Such a know- ledge, as we have said, is necessary, yet how is itto beobtained. It is obviously not the work of the study, neither is it the work of the pulpit. In the former, tke clergyman labours in preparing food for the sonls of his people,in the latter he stands as anambaseador for Christ pro~ claiming the message of love and warning todying men. In the study the clergy~ man’s seclusion separates bim from his people, in the pulpit his position elevates

him above them. To truly know his parishioners the clergyman must * be brought into closer touch with them in

their every day life. He must, if possible, break through the outer crust of reserve and getat Jeasta glimpse ofthe inner lives of those committed to hiscare. As itis the duty of a shepherd to study the habite and peculiaritiesof his flock in order to provide for their wants, #0 it is the duty of a clergyman to study the needs of his people in order to govern with dis- cretion. This can oniy be done by pas- toral visitations—a duty trying indeed to the clergy, but which is readily acknow- ledged as beirg almost equal in import- ance to the public preaching of the Word. Here it may be asked, as it sometimes is, what should be the nature of a pastoral visit? Towhich we reply : let the nature of the clergyman’s vocatiou determine the nature of his pastoral visit. This rule is universally followed in other and lower profesrions—then why not by the minis~ ters of the Crovs. S. Paul, in his charge above referred to, testifies that he taught publicly and from bouse to bouse; and if we wish to know the nature of hie teaching we have his own words “I have not shuns ned to deciare unto you al! the counse! of God.” Again itisthedu'y ofa clergy- man to protect his people from the intrusion of an enemy. As in the days of the Apostile,so to-day; grievous wolves are liable toenter in not sparing the flock. In what constitutes “wolves” we will leave itfor the clergy to decide. They are to he found inevery parish; and be is, indeed,a watchful clergyman whose charge

does not suffer as a result of these prowl- Ing enemies.

Chen the clergyman isto bean ex Regarding thie duty we cannot do better than quote direct from the ordination service as contained in ovr Book of Common Prayer. Question : 1 “Will vou be diligent to frameand fashion your own aelyes, and your families, accord- ing to the Doctrine of Christ; and to make both yourcelves and them, as much ss ip you lieth, wholesome examples and pat- terns to the flock of Christ,” (Auswer) “I will apply myself thereto, the Lord being my helper.’ “Other comment we need pot make. Onemore duty we may mention, and in it 1s included all that has gove before. Ilo John x. 11, we have the Saviors words, “Tbe Good Shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.” Many «xsauwplesof thie we find if we follow the work of the mission field. Every missionary who devotes his time, his talents, and his work to the great work of evangel zing the beathen, is “giving his lite for the sheep” in the highest and noblest sense of the term. But what about onr own faithful clergy who labor amongst us day after day, year after year, often with very little tosee ss a result of their labor and very little to cheeror en- courage them intheirwork? The faithful clergyman searches for wholesome gospel! food for his flock, he tries to win their confidence, he endeavours ww guard them from thedepredations of the enemy—he strives to live an exemplary life after the miodelof the True Man. Iu alithisheis giving his time, and his talents, yes and ‘‘bis life for th+ sheep” in just as true a sense as is the missionary io the far away heathen land. And now what of responsibilities ? In Ezek, 34 we read of the unfaithful shepherds of Israel who ‘fed themselves” and “fed not the flocks;” to whom Ged said, “Behold I am against the shepherds, and I willrequire My flock at their hand.” A dreadful requirement for those whom it concerns, but with no terror forthe faithful minister of Christ. To him duty performed means responsibi~ lity ended.

This brings us to the second partof our subject, viz. the duties of laymen in 4 | parish.”

Just here I may remark that itis not so rare a thing for us, as laymen, to have our duties and responsibilities pointed out to ue; therefore,more freedom can be used amOng ourselves as we consider for a few moments what thoseduties are. In the tirst place, brotherlaymen, their name is Legion, for they are many. We will try not to increase their numbers; yet fidelity to ourselves demands that we pass none by vonoticed. Resuming the figure of shep- herd and sheep, as employedin the con- sideration of the former part of our subject, it followe, that ifit ia the duty of the shep- herd to feed the flock, it must be the duty of the flock to accept tbe proffered food. But how often, like silly sheep, we rej2cj the wholesome food offered to us, not from any aversion tothe food itself, but from indieposition or our part to receive it, There is a tendency, in these days, for the ordinary layman to desire intellectual food in preference to spiritual. Let us guard againet the tendency as one, containing # snare that threatens to entrap’ not osly our Jaymen, butthe clergy as well. Theresult of it can be easily diss cerned in the cities of the neighbouring Republic, where many pulpite cater to the wishes of the people. by the discussion of the popular subjects connected with Society and the State.

Again: if it is the duty of the shepherd to know his ftock,it must be the duty of the flock to know their shepherd. ‘Ih’ Sav or said nct only: “I know my sheep” but adds: “And am kaown of mine.” Thus, we perceive that the koowledge spoken in the fermer part of the subject must be matua!; and indeed it must b», if the best results are tobe secured. Yet how few ofourlaymen kaow,or take any trouble to understand, their spiritual leader. Is it not this lack of mutual krowledge that causes many of the petty diff-rences between clergy aud laity ia our } parishes? | If we had more band grasping band in

mutual greeting—heart going out 10 , heart in mutuel sympathy, each fee!- lug the sanctitv ofthe tie that existe be- tween clergvnisn and Jaymar—well, it might lead to what eome would call undue familiarity on the part of the laity, bur, not of thatsort whice produces contempt. It might also bring toa vearer level min ister and people, but it would be bringing them together as «c-workersin the in- terests of the pareh and forthe houor aod prai-e of God.

Agaio: Iti the duty ofa layman to strengthen the hands of his pastor in every possible way. Weare all familiar

with that incident in the life of Moses, when, his hands growing weary, tbrey were upbeld by Aaron and Hurin order that the children of Israel might preva | over Amalek. Let the clergy answer if they donot have an Amalek to contend with to-day, and if they do not find this strengthening of their bande by the laiy 4 true means of success in the conflict. This strengthening of our pastor’s hands may be deve in many ways

One way is by prayer. In nearly all his epistles the great Apostie, St Pau’, asks for the prayers of the brethren. To prsy for our clergy iv ove of our first duties; aad until we bave learned it, we need not won

der if we donot receive a blessing from their ministrations. Another way of strengtbening our clergyman, is, by con- tributing liberally towarc bis material support. It may seem hardly necessary

to point out this fact; and yet the majority of our Jaymen do not appear to realize it as they should. Some, indeed, give as liber- ally as their means will permit, o.bers, with greater advantages, give sparingly. Some give, I regret to say, not according to their ability, but according to the ability of their pastor to fill the office of his ministry. How much better it would be, and what a wonderful impetus it would give to parish work, if el! our laymen could be brought to recogoize the duty of giving as God bath prospered them, both to the support of the pastoraud the parish. Anoth r part ofa layman’s duty is to strengthen his clergyman by lending assis~ tance to any work that mayarise having for its object the promotion of truth or the advancement of the spiritual or material weltare of .he parish. It seems to me that in our Church of Kngland—or perhaps I should say—as faras my experience goes —the Jaity are v.ry backward in embrace ing Opportunities of use'ulness ol oug with spiritual lines, I do not eay,nor do I believe, that our laymen are more lacking ia the knowledge of Christian truth, than the laity ot other Christian communionor,— then, why this backwardness in taking part in the dispeasatioa ot the truth? Is it because our clergy are capable, single handed, of doing all parish work elong

these iines? Is it because they do not wish tor our aid? The future hope of the Church ia iv_ the

voung mevand women,—tbe bovs and girls. Is it the duty of the clergy slone to instil into the miads and bearts of the rising generation a knowledge of, and alove for, the church of their fathers? Some ef our clergy have a especial gift of wianing the confidence of the young; but even such must find it practically impossible to do this necessary work without neglecting other duties equally important. Then is it not the duty of laymen to lend a hand? Opportunities for work of this nature surrouod us on every vide. Look at the Sunday School with its mall attendance of pupils and discouraged staff of teachers. The layman’s ducy isto see that itis re- vived; show that you are interested in the work either by teaching or encouraging those who teach. Let your children see that you sre interested, send them t» the school, or, whai is the better,zo with them, have blessed God for the teaching of tLeir chidhood as receiv- edin the Sunday School. Then,there is,or should be, some other society conneeted with the church, which itis the duty of laymen to support. It may be missionary in its nature, itmay be simply for socicl and intellectual improvement. Solong as ita object is in harmony with the teaching

| of the church, the society affords the lay-

man an opportunity, which it is his duty to embrace, of helping h‘s clergyman and strengthening his parish. These, then are a few of the duties devolving on a layman ina parish. Time will not permit us to deal with any more. Love for our church will enable us to make an bonest effort to comply with these duties. Knowledge of our church, will produce this love. The knowledge that we share equally with the clergy in the responsibilities for the wel- fare of the parish will give us a deeper in terest in our clergy and constrain us to co- operate with them in al! things connected with parish work.
