IiittD" Editor at the “Congregational Quarterly" visited America to de- liver a leries of lectures on “Christ- be, 1g, 93mm ‘ ian Fueedom," and they are pub- ' llshed under this title (Independent Press). Dr. Peel did not give a very cheeriui account of the position oi‘ the churches and in the course of one of the lectures said:- "When 1 entered the ministry I believed-and l. believe still-that every man in the tnlnistiy ought to know in his own heart that he could earn more in some other calling, and this ought to be apparent, to his pe0ple~ It is degrading to a numster when he has to lead his church in all manner oi eiIort-s to raise money from people poorer than himself to pay his own stipend. "Let me put the matter into half it is inevitable. Our colleges $750. to man in tr ni inadequate. a dozen propositions referring to our mm churches, propositions which, I think. are incontrovertible: “I. Congregations are much poor- or than they were a generation ago. "2. Eventually the monies received from wealthier inembers—which have decreased to a large extent- will disappear altogether. "3. There is no hope tht tlie peo- ple now in our churches will be able to fill the gaps in revenue. “4. We are not winning new peo- Fle. We are not touching the work- ng classes; and if there is a revival of religion, and thev begin to attend the churches, they are not in a posi- tion to maintain the huge fabrics of former days. "5. The population is decreasing. The diminish ing number of young gzolple in our Sunday Schools cannot ooked upon to increase revenues materially in the future. “O. For purely economic reasons ers or tcntmakers? . Dr. Peel considers layme n. ‘This may seem to be a gloomy picture. But 1 believe it in a. true one, and ‘if hope (god the better them B Nevertheless the situation is so serious that immediate action m; is called tor. If the Church o! Christ continues to absorb so much of her ch energy in financial effort, and fails to consider the adaptation of means to ends. itis clear that must be written over the doors. “If the system of training minis- ters were getting results commen- surate with the expenditure, it might "we be defended. But who dare say it is? are spending from perhaps $2,500 a year a1 Our . . "5.- puying their stipends, “Can any of us lay his hand on his heart and say it is worth while, that it is sound business? Could not scores of ministers have done as good work for the Kingdom of God had they become lawyers or miners. all tl lecturers or business men, carpent- churches, and "groups" of worship- Dcrs are inevitable in the future. and he goes on to plead for more trained "It seems to me," he says. "it is the Churchs business to ilnd a way of using the experience and counsel of all its_ members. We should find 011i the right way to develop ‘volun- tary clergyt,’ those who are earning bee their living in the ordinary callings of life and vet are set apart by the Church for specific tasks which they are well equipped to perform, "To continue as we are at pres- ent is simply to close our eyes to de- velopments that are working as rap- ur present system must break idly as leaven leavens the lump.

"Fiai" too often have we let eco- nomic pressure determine our prac- tice, rather than first principles, The churches should making more and more use of educated lay- men ior the purpose of religious in- struction- One of the things that has struck me most in the last four years of peripatetic preaching has n the number of capable men- men with a message-hidden away in the pews. The churches possess a vast. amount latent energy which. if released, would revolution- ise their outlook." Dr. Peel thinks that the change he yisualises will be very gradual. but 1s none the less inevitable.
