To THE RULING ELDERS OP THE SYNOD OF CHICAGO: DPar, Brethren in the Lord :—The Syn -ed of Chicago desires to address a fraternal sand Christian word of exhortation to the , ,Elders within its bounds; reminding them that this body is a Convention of Ministers,, and Elders, and that it is a duty, of the latter as well 144 the former, to attend its letings. It id with pain we annually see small a representation of the Eldership along us. The. object for which we come . :,ether is not merely to transact Ecolesi- Ideal business ; but also for the spiritual lification of ourseliee' the Church. re, dear brethren, all' needy the sacred in ience produced on our hearts \ by the Holy 'irk in our social worship , and inter rse, and to have our spiritual .strength , ewed, so that we may return, to :our peo with increased love to our Mater, and for his glory. We deem it alieat ilege to assemble annually to heer l ilifit Lord is doing in our midst, to stir each Ler up to greater zeal, and to cultivate:a ;ater degree of brotherly love; and we ;eve the Eldership of so many aintrebes, absent themselves from the Meetings Synod, deny themselves a high privt 1, and do an injury to the churches Lich they represent. We, therefore, ear tly exhort you, dear brethren, to meet in these holy Convocations hereafter, thus encourage our hearts in the lord. , PASTORAL LETTER. • non OF CHICAGO TO THE CIFUEOHES ENDER, ITS °AIM : Dear Brethren :—We greet yetis breth beloved, composing those members of Lord's visible body over *bent wk,.are 3d to exercise the offide of BishOpi. m i n i s t er s ind;,Huling Elders, we are h of you and' over you in - the Lord. lifted in our annual meeting tnasiem for prayerful ponsideration of all the ,rests of this sectiou'of our Zion, we dk to address you this, our Pastoral, on a ieet of vital importiikee to our well-b&l if not our very 'eXtsigaPe, in tilts of our beloved couitij r .

Our , com won "country is assailed by misguided ,and erring 'biethren, who have appealed to' the arbitram'ent :of the sword as the means of , settling the queStion of sectional , strife.be. tween the North , and the, South. This we deqly deplore, for as othee-bearers in , the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace, we feel that peace - awl not war, especially civil andtratriciiial. war, will:most directly fro= mote the vital interests of His: kingdom) whom we serve. Arising' out of this trouble of the coun `try, yoll, as well as we, are aware that all' the'conlinereial interests of the same are in diffienlty and confusion. The 'reVenues, by which the increased ; expenses of the -Gov-. ernnient.are , to be, sustained, cannot longer be derived from the usual sources; henna funds must secnred, from the cheeiffill and liberal onntributionS of loyal heart's. The necessities of the crisis have been thus far, by the spontaneous and unstinted confidence ,of the , sons of liberty. In this we Jejoice: but brethren, the same causes Whielthitve deranged . the means of Govern- Mental sup•port;uhutie 'noted upon 'the Church, arid are very seriously allectineall her interests. Not only are our Boardi of hanevolent effort greatly crippled in their operations, but l , our feeble Missionary. churehes are either involved in difficulty in maintaining their organization, or threatened with extinction. The Board' of Missions has felt the pressure to such ex tent as to prevent her prompt payment .of their appropriations to 'sustain the laborers= of the Gospel among "these' churches. You, yourselves; are the' witnesses of this statuof things, so that we nee& hut refer to them. But in view of such facts, we desire to call .3teur serious and prayerful attention to the: cinties devolved npon you, if you wolildnotl willingly suffer the things concerning Ytinr. spiritual welfare, to fall and perish., Among these let us briefly .particularize!:- n view of the country's troubles , we. exhort you faithfully to remember her in - Anti daily prayers; inibe closet' at the family altar, lift up - your hearts. fin' the blessing of our fathers' 'God. to 'rest' upon the country, and lead her safely and tri-• umphantly through her :present conflict., GiVe your country yoUtheart's hest pray ers—then, give her youetreasure, influence and cordial 'siiPpOrt. 2. But; brethren, let -yoi# devotion to the'Clinrch of the Lord Jesis Chriat be' ati `least equal to that Which Yolishow to your . dountry. What 'weitld your country be_ Without the Clinrch and 'her ordinanCee ?. Whitt' would you and your childrendo if' deptiVed 'of theie. privileges ? - She needs' your prayers and she needs es pecially with them, your and increas ' ed eontributionl4,, ; both for the preservatiOn of etti the Gospel ong . youteelvee; and the eaten- ' snotrof her work in the conversion of the' 'World. A fevi suggestions, bitithren, will ena ble you; we hope, - clearly to appreciate this' necessity: 1. Your 'Pesters Or Stated Suppliea, are ordinarily men of litalted Means; and even with the 'appreptiations of "the board of 'Missions, "have little or. no, surplus, after sustaining thciit Indeed, in many teases, all that'they get both from you and the Board. of Nissionsiis insufficient to cover all their: expenses: When,, therefore, 'the Board of kissions not ony reduced the amount' of apprOpriatidtiS 'twenty-five per cent i f biltdefera its quarterly payments from two to three-or four monthrrafter•they fall due, the difficulty is greatly, increased: I Now, if a minister's mind is harrassed about the means of obtaining bread forhis family and •to 4iqiii'date- his Mita, NOtv can' he 'de votei himself with.grateful , and, joyful zeal to his arduous; work. in, your behalf? Nothing, indeed; so unfits a minister for his spiritual work as to have his mind dis 'traded- by peduniary difficulty. Now as ViPlinard of Miesiona' Isras'Yound it fArY not only - to reduce their , appropria tions, but-to defer or delay.their payments, it is clear that you must either do more than you have done or your pastors and Stated: Supplies must lea,*4 their work with your,' or toil on •in want and peiFerty. If they leave, then you and: your 'thildren , suffer. If they remain they. labor with burdened and distracted mindi,..and you - etijOY their labors with Out retideking to them that attiount of' worldly support needful for them. .In•.either case you are sufferers. We ,urge you then . brethren, to make an immediate and enlarged effort to meet this crisis and supplement the reclined salaries `Of those who labor among you 'in Word and , doctrine: You have' the Means itt abun& ramie, and we hope you will-use - them with a liberal and unstinted hand. It.is a neees sity,' brethren, and must be met. 2. The treasuries of all our : Boards, and - . _ especially of our Board 'of . .lVltssions, need to be . rePlenished.
