THE COCNTRY PARISH.
SOCIAL LIFE. II
In a late and unfinished article on this
subject, we spoke of the power of the
Church, with its pastor, for moulding the
social life of the country parish. We did
not mean to have it understood that this is
a power which should expend itself upon
the class of social enjoyments then named.
It has a higher and purely spiritual field
for working, and one where great advanta
ges may be derived from those conditions
of the social element of which we have
spoken, as peculiar to the country life.
Q-reat numbers are always to be found there
who want somewhere to go —somewhere
where they can see somebody , and hear
what is going on. And, as we before said,
oooasions which supply this want are not,
as in the town, constantly obtruding them
selves; but they must begotten up by those
who would enjoy them. We have spoken
of the effect of this state of things upon
social habits generally. We now add a few
words concerning its effect in imparting
to the people at large an interest in the
public services of the church, particularly
those which are special in their character.
As a general thing, in a country neigh
borhood, the church is the only permanent
institution which opens up frequent assem
blies for the whole people. Others, such
as the lyceum, the political club, or some
secret order, may be started; but all, ex
oept perhaps the last, have generally but a
limited existence, and most of them offer
opportunities for social enjoyment to only
a select number of the community. The
church alone remains, from generation to
generation, an open assembly for the whole
people, men and women, people of all ages
and conditions of life, rich in its yield of
something of interest for each —the com
mon platform of social life. Hence the
whole community fejjs the sensation, when
any thing of unusual interest is going for
ward in the church. In the city a reli
gious movement in some' particular ohurch
may become felt outside of the families of the
congregation; but, if so, it is only through
some immediately Divine influence inde
pendent of natural causes, and not because
the circumstances of city life have any
adaptation to create an outside interest in
the movements of an individual church.
But for reasons stated, in the rural parish,
apart from the drawings of the Spirit, the
public interest turns spontaneously in this
direction. It is a providential arrangement
of the state of society and state of the
public mind, which a faithful and wise
pastor, with a consistent and praying
ohurch, may use to immense advantage for
the salvation of those without.
We are only too well aware that there is
.a painful aspeot to this view of the case.
In looking over the religious assemblies of
-& country parish, it is sad to reflect that
.some of those who compose them, have
been drawn out, not by any conscience of
duty, any drawing of spirit toward the
place where God’s honor dwells, or any
.solemn purpose of divine worship, but
chiefly because there they meet with so
ciety, and there the general monotony of
rural life is broken. Of the multitudes
who throng the Banctuary on some special
•occasion, say for example, a protracted
meeting, there are always more or less for
whose attendance we are indebted to - the
feet that they are tired of a calm on the
•surface of society, and here they find a
ruffle on the sea.
Still it is a satisfaction to reflect that
•even this low estimate of the uses of reli
gious assemblies, is an involuntary homage
to them as a social necessity, and it should
be seized upon by the church as a means
which, under God’s arrangement of the
-condition oi society, is placed ih her hands,
Ito make herself felt as a moulding power
Bh the sooial usages around. A leading
Blflect of her assemblies, common and
Jrajjal, is to bring truth into contact with
heart, and to make it become
New Series, Vol. 11, [No. 33.
in that heart a saving power. Attendance
is one point gained—a point which, when
gained, always incites our courage and
hope. When we see our ohurches thronged,
we do not often distress ourselves over the
inquiry, What brought all these people
here ? It is enough fer us that God has
sent them to us—that, whatever may have
been for them the attraction of the assembly!
it was the motive which God pleased to
use for crowding upon us the responsibility
of at onoe laboring with them, as well as
for them, to lead them to Christ. It has
often occurred to us that the wise and
thoughtful Pastor and Session of the coun
try parish will study the providence of God
in this constitution of minds and things
around them, and will accept it as an ad
monition to shape those special means of
grace which it is their care to provide with
reference to this providence.
One thing more in this line of thought,
we wish to suggest. The facilities men
tioned for securing the public interest, can
he turned to large account in attaching
people to the higher ecclesiastical judica
tories with which the country church is
connected. When, for example, the Pres
bytery holds its meeting within their
bounds, it needs only some extra attention
to their spiritual wants, turning the meet
ing, as far as the demands of business will
allow, into a sort of spiritual festival, Ailing
up the time jvith devotional services, in
cluding preaching and addresses, and pro
longing them for two or three days, to bind
the people in love to the Presbytery as a
Presbytery, and to make them feel that to
them, as a people, their relation to the
Presbytery is a high privilege. There are
some denominations which, in this way
assiduously cultivate their relations to in
dividual churches, and find their account
in it. This is a feature in the meetings of
the Associations of our Baptist brethren.
They remain for days in session, and sing,
pray, and preaoh until a love grows up
between and the parish, which, after
they are gone, leads the people to count
the years until their return. In the same
way, the Convocation of the Episcopalians
is used to good effect. It makes -for the
parish an occasion ; meets, for the time
being, its social as well as religious wants;
and if it fails to make Episcopacy popular
among a rural population, it is only be
cause the natural effect of these attentions
is overborne by the ill adaptation of the
service and order of that,Ohurch for coun
try use.
The congregations of our own Church
know too little of the higher judicatories,
see too little'of them, and, when they do
see them, it is too much iu the hasty push
ing through of a routine of business which
has for them no edification. Hence, they
do not often feel the attachment to a Pres
bytery, which a course of policy, as plea
sant as it is judicious, would soon awaken.
To the ministers of the Presbytery who
have occasionally been with-them in labors
and prayers, they are often warmly attached,
and whenever they feel themselves receiv
ing from the Presbytery, as such , the same
ministrations of love, they will return, not
merely to its members, but to it, the same
loving interest. This secured, is to the de
nomination an element qf untold power.
It makes sure of those upon whom we are
to rely in the last resort, because the surety
of our hold upon them is the strong one of
love.
THE NEW TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
Nearly forty years ago there was inaugu
rated in this country, none too soon, a tem
perance reform,. Some twenty years ago
it at its height. For ten or more of
the last years it has become fashionable to
speak of it as a failure. Just afpresent an
effort for its resuscitation is embarrassed by
what seems to us a foolish discussion, not
to say wrangle, respecting the causes of the
alleged failure.
Whatever its future may be, no conside
rate person will deny that the temperance
cause, during its active condition, had a
glorious career. The .custom of drinking
lost its hold in the better circles of fash
ion, the use of intoxicating drinks was
largely banished from the shops and fields,
thousands of grog shops were closed, hun
dreds of thousands of young men effectu
ally shielded from temptation, and almost
every neighborhood could count here and
there a drunkard permanently reclaimed
and brought hinder Christian influence.
The word failure is a disparaging one to ap
ply to any enterprise, and it is ungenerous
to apply it to the temperance reform, in the
face of an accomplished amount of temporal
and eternal good which repays a thousand
fold the effort which it cost.
Neither is it time to speak of it as a fail
ure in view of the present and future.
During its progress important truths, sci
PHILADELPHIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17. 1865
entific, common sense, and practical, were
slowly developed, and the power of certain
principles and modes of action tested, which
remain permanent, and will furnish a ready,
basis of action for future movements.
There is no denying that intemperance.
has more than recovered the ground which
it lost, and that we have re-established for
ourselves the reproach of those days when
writers of Europe used to put us down “ a
nation of drunkards.” We may spare our
selves the pain of citing proof: why array
a list of' particulars when they are before
every man’s eyes ? In these United States
the yearly manufacture of - intoxicating
drinks would probably float our navy. The
most simple calculation would show that
the consumption of this must involve a terri
ble amount of drunkenness, with- attendant
crime and suffering, and no one walks our
streets without seeing the calculation con
firmed. In Massachusetts the manufactur
ers, leagueing themselves against a revived
effort to enforce a slumbering prohibitory
law, bring up, as an argument, that they,
(those of that State alone), have invested
thirty-five millions of dollars in the manu
facture ; that nineteen thousand persons in
the State are engaged in selling the article,
and that the tax on this manufacture and
traflic is a very important count in the in
come of the United States Government.
We have been accustomed to regard Massa
chusetts, with her prohibitory law and gen
eral moral tone, as the green tree of tem
perance. If these things are done in her,
what in the dry ? *
By the way, we see that the Massachu
setts manufacturers, with the dealers,
threaten to contest the prohibitory law be
fore the courts, on the ground that ‘the Na
tional Congress, by taxing their business,
has fully legalized it in spite of any State
prohibition, and are also arguing its defence
before the community on the ground of its
importance to the General Government as a
source of revenue. Unquestionably, the
per contra account; aside, the nation does
draw an immense revenue from it. Un
doubtedly Congress could start up another
quite as large and even larger, by laying a
tax on the gains acquired by burglaries,
highway robberies, and murders; and those
assessed would cheorfully pay the tax, if
the law imposing it might bie construedjn
to a protection against State legislation in
prohibition of these crimes. By legalizing
all the instrumentalities of inisery and out
rage, and assessing their spoils as the price
of protection, we would clear off our na
tional debt in ..ten years —perhaps one. Is
it therefore best to do it ?
Returning to the attempted revival of
the temperance reformation-, we believe it
just as possible, and, in view of the light
of experience, even more so than when it
first took its total abstinence form, about
the year 1825. We believe that, at the
rate in which intemperance is now going on,
it is paving the way for it, by crowding
upon the friends of virtue just such a feel
ing of necessity for a campaign of extermi
nation, as that which carried us through
the war against rebellion. But we believe
it important, if not essential, to a right
start, that our views of the causes of the
decline should be very much simplified.
We believe of those who charge it
back and forth upon the pledge and the
prohibitory law, that both are mistaken.
Both worked well just in proportion as they
were worked at all. The first lent a help
ing hand to those who would help them
selves, and the second shielded them with
the power of the country against those who,
knowing their weakness, struck, through
the defenceless spot, at their lives and souls.
We have seen nothing in either which
shows any want of adaptation to the pur
pose sought, and certainly common sense
has, thus far suggested no readier human
means to the end.
_ Crimination and recrimination between
the world (if men like Gerritt Smith and
Mr. Delavan accept such a designation)
and the Church, on the subject of responsi
bility for the decline, is of poor account
now. We know that ever since the start
of the Washingtonian movement, the
Church has been vilely belied in this mat
ter. We say this without ignoring the fact
that there were, thirty years ago, cases of
glaring defection in the ministry, and still
are in the membership. But, since the
beginning of the reform, we have never
known the hour when its general tone was
not right, and we never knew a district of
country where, in getting up some great
temperance demonstration on the highest
principles, the clergy were not a reliance in
the last resort. The Church was wrong in
retiring in disgust from the speech and
noise ol bad men. We believed then that
she might have kept her hand at the helm,
and we have since seen nothing to change
this opinion. We look for no sound and-
hopeful temperance revival, except as it
comes up under sanctified influences, with
the church in the foreground and the pul
pit as a forum. So the work began; so
our Massachusetts brethren are inaugurat
ing their new movement, and, if they do
not wreck themselves upon the non-prohi
bition doctrine, we look for results. In the
meantime, keep the door open for any re
spectable co-operation; let trophies be the
price of honor, and then apply the rule,
“ Honor to whom honor is due.”
sNow as to the real cause of the decline,
let the incitements to the 'antagonistical
forces of temperance and intemperance be
taken into consideration . The first consists
chiefly of benevolence—Christ-like benevo
lence—a benevolence which can only be
carried out by much persevering and self
denying toil, and frequent suffering of oblo
quy, and all for no reward but the con
sciousness of the work of love. The in
spiring motives in the service of intemper
ance, are the fury of appetite and the
madness of acquisition. These last are
self-moving forces, requiring no outside im
pulse, never wearying and never reposing.
The incitement of a holy benevolence,
armed with the Spirit from heaven, is an
overmatch for them, while it is in exercise.
It would settle the whole question, if there
were never weariness in well doing. But the
friends, rf temperance did become weary in
well doing. There was no slumber to the
flame of appetite or the greed of gain, but
a slumber did overtake the spirit of doing
good. Whether from real or supposed per
versions of the temperance cause, or from
disgust with its movers, or from simple
weariness of effort, activity ceased. A good
portion, at least, of .the instrumentalities
used, worked,well while, as we have said,
they were worked at all.- Is it not strange
that, in the face of so plain a reason as this
of the utter cessation of their use, people
should think it nceessary to go into a long
inquiry for the causes of the decline of the
temperance reform ?.....
The simplicity-in.the cause of decline re
veals a like simplicity in the means of
revival. There is no reason why, in de
pendence upon the Divine blessing, efforts
which prospered once should not prosper
again. Time and the providence of God
may, as we proceed, Jay open before us new
discoveries, opening the way to new means
of aggression. Doubtless, they will do it,
for we were only in the midway stage of
such revelations when we laid off our armor.
But the lighi of the past is amply sufficient
for a start, and, in humble dependence upon
God’s helping hand, we want no better first
step in a new temperance movement, than
to repent ai\d do our first works.
CO-OPERATION A CONDITION OF
SUCCESS.
Having, in our work as a Christian
Church, dispensed almost entirely with the
use of collecting agencies, special care on the
part of pastors and sessions will be needful
avoid the danger of inaction. So accus
tomed had the people become to giving,
and the pastors to opening their pulpits for
benevolence under the urgency of a special
pressure from an agent,- : that, when the
agency is removed, in many cases the bene
volent cause is neglected. r
We have now entered upon a system of
voluntary church work. The responsibility
is thrown upon the church of giving, upon
the pastor of presenting the claims of our
Committees. Let us see to it, that in the
absence of this pressure at the pulpit door,
the good works we have inaugurated do
not kug|ish for lack of attention. Co
operation ion the part of the churches is an
absolute condition of success. Benevolence
dies uhen it is “ let alone.”
The General Assembly has formally put
five great schemes upon its schedule of
benevolence Home Missions, Foreign
Missions,' I ,Publication, Education, and Min
isterial Relief. It is made the duty of
each church to take a collection each year
for each .of these obyeots. It is not said
that fivp dollars shall be given, or fifty, or
one dollar, —that is left to the will of the
_/ *
church, —but, that the session shall yearly
afford the church the opportunity of con
tributjiiig to, those approved enterprises.
Now, is this done? .A glance at the
minutes of the General Assembly gives too
plain an answer to the question. Let our
pastors and elders have a conscience about
this matter. And if they have not a con
science in it, let the church members ask
why they have not presented to them these
avenues of usefulness. “Poverty” and
“weakness” have nothing to do with the
matter. The Lord can bless the poor man’s
cent as readily and fully as the rich man’s
dollar. And he will do it. Where is the
churph that, cannot raise “ two mites which
equal one farthing” five times a year ?
Take up your collections. Have a system
Genesee Evangelist, ISTo. 1004.
and adhere to it —pastor or no pastor. You
will be none the less able to support your
own church and have no less reason to
expect the blessing of the Lord. System
based cm conscience —that is what we want.
FROM OUR CORRESPONDING EDITOR.
It will be remembered that those who
love the children, those- who want to
know the very best way to teach the
children in the Sabbath-schools of our
State, are to meet in council at Syra
cuse, on the 22d instant. A large num
ber of regular delegates and genuine
volunteers, are expected to be present,
including such men as Ralph Wells, R.
Gr. Pardee, J. B. Tyler, and various
other leading Sabbath-school men, beside
many of our most prominent and excel
lent pastors, all filled wisdom. It will
be remembered also that Syracuse in
vites us to come, and proffers a gener
ous hospitality A large and efficient
Committee of Arrangements, appointed
from the various churches, is busily at
work preparing for the meeting, and we
doubt not, everything will be done that
is necessary to make the occasion one
of great interest and profit.
It may be questioned whether this is
the best month of all the year in which
to hold this gathering. Why would not
the last week in June be a much better
time? August is hot, and sometimes
sickly. This month is also given up to
rest and recreation. Many families of
our cities are broken up. They are
visiting friends, or traveling, or stopping
at watering places, and so Qjre not pre
pared to aid in the entertainment of
-guests. Some are kept at home when
they would be away; some are brought
back from their summer resorts, to open
their houses, and be present at these
meetings.
And yet we want large gatherings,
the interest and profit depending much
upon the enthusiasm of numbers. We
need large accommodations in the way
of hospitality ; we must be a burden
upon any city, wherever the Convention
goes; and yet it “ pays” well to have it
so. But we wish to call the attention
of the leading men in the Convention to
this question :—ls the month of August
the best time for this meeting ?
The Committee have issued the fol
lowing
in regard to return tickets, to which we
wish to call especial attention;—
Free return tickets will be granted to all
persons in attendance upon the Convention,
who have paid full fare in coming over the
following routes, respectively:—
Rome, Watertown, and Ogdensburg;
Northern New York (Ogdensburg); Rens
selaer, Saratoga and Whitehall: Oswego and
Syracuse; Syracuse and Binghamton Rail
ways.- Also, Day Boats “Daniel Drew” and
“ 0. Vibbard,” from New York to Albany;
and Night Boats, (Troy Line) from New
York to Albany and Troy. The Lake On
tario Steamboat Company will carry each way

from Ogdensburg, $2 50; from Alexandria
Bay, $2; Clayton, f 2; Sackett’s Harbor,
$1 50.

AUBURN SEMINARY.
The Fall Term of this excellent School
of the prophets, as will be seen by the
advertisement, commences on Wednes
day, the 6th of September. It will be
noticed also, that the improvement pro
posed last spring in Seminary rooms, is
being successfully accomplished—each
room being “newly papered and painted,
and furnished with a new carpet, mat
tress, bureau, and other articles.”
Liberal provision is, also made for
aiding such young men as need assist
ance in prosecuting their theological
studies. All this, added to the fact that
this institutiou is very pleasantly located,
in the beautiful young city of Auburn,
and has an able faculty, ought to make
it one of the most attractive places in all
the land for such as are preparing for
the ministry. We trust that its various
classes will be larger this year than ever
•before; full of men of the highest pro
mise, for the world has need of them.
By notices received, we see that a
special meeting of the “ Board of Com
missioners” of the Seminary, is to he
held on the 22 d instant, to attend to busi
ness of great importance. A full meet
ing is desired. Let all the members of
the Board take notice.
SABBATH-SCHOOL EXCURSION.
• We learn from the Buffalo Advocate,
that the Sabbath-school of the Lafayette
Street Church, (Rev. Dr. Heacock’s),
has beem regaling itself, as is its wont
every year, with an excursion upon the
Lake. Fortunately, the Superintendent
is the owner of vessels, and furnished
one of his best for the occasion; and as
the day- was clear and bright they had
a fine ride.

and, of course, was~good. Mr. Clark
made a handsome reply; other good

well.
THE NEW CLASS.
We learn from Hamilton College that
the prospects for a large class in the
fall are most flattering. It now looks
as though it might be the largest class
ever received, numbering sixty or seventy,
it is thought-, at the start. In this, the
friends of the College will sincerely
rejoice. Hamilton was never in a better
condition to do justice to those who
enter her halls. Her way is onward
and upward—only let those who want
to do good to the end of time, keep ad
ding to her endowment and means of
usefulness.
PERSONAL,
Rev. Dr. King, the veteran mission
ary, after passing a few days at Niagara
Falls, (where, we are sorry to say, he
was sick, and unable to appear in the
pulpit,) preached last Sabbath in Buffalo,
where he was heard with much interest
and pleasure. People love to honor
him for the life-long service he has
rendered to the noble cause of missions.
Rev. Dr. Condit, of Auburn, has been
for some weeks supplying, with his
usual ability and acceptableness, the
pulpit of the North Church in Buffalo,
late Dr. Smith’s. He, is now engaged,
however, for a few weeks, to minister
to the old First Church in Auburn,
while Dr. Hawley is absent on his vaca
tion.
Rev. Dr. Nelson, of St. Louis, for a
few weeks past has been most accepta
bly supplying the 'First Church in Au
burn, his old charge; and, by special
request of many citizens, he repeated to
a large audience, in Corning Hall, the
admirable address which he gave at
Hamilton College commencement, on
effect of the war upon our literature.
We wish thismddress could be heard in
every city, as it is one of rare merit- and
great power.
We see it is stated, that Rev. P. G.
Cook, of Buffalo, after three years of
hearty and honorable service, as Chaplain
in the United States army, has returned
to his home and numerous friends in
that city, to receive, as "he deserves, a
most cordial welcome. He is known, far
and near, as an earnest worker in the
Sabbath-school cause; and will doubt
less have something to say, about being
" glad that he is in this army,” at the
Convention in Syracuse.
Rev. C. W. Hawley, late of Liver
pool, [New York, not England,] has re
ceived, and will probably accept, we are
told, a call to the Presbyterian Church
in Waterville, of which Rev. T. D.
Hunt was recently pastor. Mr. Hawley
was also a Chaplain in our army; left
his people for no other reason but to
serve his country; and having dis
charged those duties with great fidelity
and acceptableuess to the end of the war,
now returns with pleasure to the pastoral
work. We congratulate the Church in
Waterville on securing his valuable ser
vices. O. P. B.

Geneva, Wis.—“ lowan” writes ns,
July 19th, 1865: This lovely place,
with its beautiful lake and scenery,
is worthy of a more extended notice,
from a passing visitor, than I have
time to write. Situated at the foot
of a clear, crystal lake, of nine miles
in length and four or five in breadth,
and of unknown depth in some parts,
and surrounded with gentle eminen
ces, this town is a most inviting re
treat and summer resort. At present,
somewhat insulated for want of rail
road connections; yet, with stages
and a small steamer, and other water
craft, with which to navigate the lake,
it is frequented for pleasure excursions
and rural enjoyments.
