DR, HU,AIPHREY'S ADDRESS ON
CHURCH ERECTION,
DEAR BRETHREN :—The undersigned
wa s directed, at the recent meeting of our
General Assembly, to prepare an address to
i t s churches, setting forth the nature and
the reason of its last action upon the sub
ject of church erection.
PREVIOUS ACTION
During the years 1854-6, a fund of
$lOO,OOO was collected for the purpose of
a iding feeble churches in erecting houses
o f worship. The policy adopted for the
a dministration of this fund was as follows,
viz.
1. The fund was to be permanent.
Aid was to be rendered, (a) byloans,
(b) by donatioy. The loans were never
to exceed $5OO to any church ; the dona
tions were limited to $2OO. Loans were to
be returned to the trustees of the fund "in
four equal annual instalments, the first in
stalment becoming due in three years from
the date of the loan," with interest in case
of default. The donations were to be given
without other condition than that the church
aided thereby should take an annual col
lection in behalf of. the fund. The fulfil
ment of the conditions upon whioh such
aid was to be afforded, was, in each case, to
be secured by a bond of the trustees of the
congregation, and a mortgage on their
house and lot, made in favor of the Board.
The details of the plan it is unnecessary to
state. Its central idea was the permanency
of the fund. It was supposed that the pay
ment of loans, and the annual contributions
from churches receiving donations, would
maintain the capital in the hands of the
Board, at its maximum. The rills would
return to the fountain.
WORKING OF THE PLAN
For a few years, while buildings could be
cheaply erected, and while the pay-day was
in the future, the fund was largely used,
and with happy results ; but as loans be
came due, and as the country underwent ,
financial revolution in the progress of civil
war, it became gradually evident that the
plan required alteration. Many churches
found it, difficult, if not impossible, to meet
their obligations to the Board, yet were
seriously embarrassed by those obligations.
Churches needing aid were restrained from
applying for it, by unwillingness to subject
themselves to similar embarrassments. As
a consequence, the fund was, at last, almost
entirely uncalled for. That part of it still
in the hands of the Board increased by in
vestment, until, in 1866, the whole amount
in the treasury, and pledged to it by
churches aided,. was over $127,000. It
bad become evident that some change must
be made in the plan, by which the system
of loans should be discountenanced, and
that of donations upon an increased scale of
liberality made prominent.
MODIFYING THE PLAN.
To make the requisite change was found
to be difficult. Legal advice was sought,
with the following results. First, The per
manency of the fund could not be destroyed.
Second, The amounts loaned, or douated,
could be increased, or diminished, or_ their
proportions could be altered. Third, Any
change could be made in the administra
tion of the fund which would not affect its
permanency. In these particulars the legal
opinions, various upon subordinate points,
generally agreed. The fund could not,
therefore, be distributed by gift, without
ouarantee of return ; nor could it be loaned,
except upon such security as would be
deemed sufficient in a civil court. Some
plan must be devised which would• afford
the greatest amount of assistance 'to feeble
churches, and on the most liberal terms,
without diminishing the fund. •
PLAN ADOPTED.
The features of the plan agreed' upon by
the Assembly are these :—First, The policy
of loans is abandoned. Second, That of
gifts without pledge of return is adopted.
Third, Gifts are to be made, (a) from the
interest of the permanent fund, (b) from
contributions annually made by all our
churches.
The Assembly directed that the fund ye
maining in the hands of the Board, together
with the interest collected and added thereto,
up to the date of the Assembly, should be
invested as trust funds usually are. All
loans now due the Board are in like man
ner to be invested when they are paid ;
also any contributions which may hereafter
be made to the permanent fund. The
accruing interest of
,the fund, as thus con
tributed and invested, is to be distributed
among the churches by donations upon
such conditions, and in such proportions,
as the amended plan specifies.
EXPLANATIONS.
The " accruing interest" is the interest
which will be yielded by the fund, subse
quent to the Ist of May, 1866 The inter
est which had accumulated up to that date
is added to the permanent fund.
2.' The permanent fund is, by the con
ditions of the charter, to be invested under
the laws and decisions of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, which ro-
quire trust moneys, not otherwise specified,
to be invested in real security, or- in the
public stocks of the State, or of the United
States, or on bond and mortgage on unen
cumbered real estate in the State of New
York. This was not thoroughly understood
by the Standing Committee of Church
Erection, possibly not by all the Qreueral
Assembly, when the plan was under discus
sion. The effect of it is to restrain , the
Beard from making any loans to churches,'
outside of the State of New York, except
upon United States securities, or stocks or
the State of New York:
3. The amount derived from the perma-
nent fund each year will be comparatively
Small. For the present, it will not exceed
from $5OOO to $7OOO. The annual contri
butions called for from the churches, are to
Btpply the means which this fund, under
this emended plan, will not afford. These
contibutions will not be added to the per
manent fund. They will be distributed
etobyear, upon the same conditions which
govern the distributions of the accruing
Interest of the pennant fund.
1. The design of this plan is, to place the
eausq of church erection upon the same
Plan with that of home missiot a. The for
incr simply has the advantage—such au
THE AMERICAN PRESBYTERIAN, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 22, iB6l
advantage as is possessed by the A. B. C.
F. M., American Bible Society, and other
benevolent institutions—of a small endow
ment. The Assembly has directed the
appointment of a General Secretary, that
the cause may be efficiently presented and
prosecuted.
CLOSING CONDITIONS
It is manifest that, if we are to succeed
in this line of Christian endeavor, it will be
by the same spirit of earnest consecration
which we invoke when we present the
highest calls of privilege and duty.
The demand made upon us by feeble
churches throughout the land, for houses
of worship, is almost as pressing as for min
isters. l 'We must not be behind other de
nominations in understanding and meeting
that demand. The General Assembly
desires the adoption of a most enlarged and
generous policy in this particular. The per
manent fund is not to be depended upon.
The churches should give; as if there were
no permanent fund. The Assembly calls
for $35,000 this year. The sum -is only
too small for the exigency. Let no chnich
fail to contribute at least its proportion of
that amount. Should"there be differep'des
of opinion as to the wisdom Of all- the fea
tures ot the plan adopted by the AsseMbly,
'let them not interfere with 'a fair trial .of
the plan. The large majority by which it
was adopted indicates 'that it was deemed
the best adjustment; that could be made of
a difficulty that has been increasingly felt
for years. Let there be a hearty and gene
ral -co.operatiou in it, and ...it. will succeed.
Let it he understood that the Presbyterian
Church has abandoned the _system , of loan-,
ing that which should be given as freely as
the root gives to the branch the leaf, and
let us vindicate this new and better policy,
by the vigor which shall soon be apparent
in every vein and fibre. The day fixed
for simultaneous contribution is the third
Sunday of December -next. Do:not forget.

WINTERING FARM HORSES.
Some farmers treat their horses in winter
much as they do their fattening - cattle and
sheep; they give them ~ gruidarit food,
and but little exercise, keep Them in a warm
and dimly-lighted stable,, and if they do
but grow fat, with their cattle and - sheep,
they deem it convincing proof that the pro
f,
per course has been pursued. Now, horses
in good working condition; at - least, should
always be seen on the premises of a good
farmer, but his gratitude toward these
faithful servants should not induce him, at
any time of the year, to stall feed them.
The butcher wants thick meat and plenty
of tallow in the cattle and sheep, but the
plowman looks for strong muscle, spirit and
endurance in .his teams The food and care
of the different animald should be consistent
with the ultimate purpose they are to serve.
Fat horses that have been wintered mostly
in the stable, without muoh exercise, are
not fit for hard service at the opening of
the working season in the spring, and a
prolific source of disease is the hard work
they are frequently compelled to do when
they are not in proper condition.
The ordinary winter business of the
farmer does not call for much exercise or
his team, and if he have several, most of
them may be entirely idle. In such cases,
it is an excellent plan to have a yard for
their especial benefit, well littered and safe,
and let them have access to it several hours
each day. The horses should be unshod,
and if any are vicious they may be .turned
loose at different hours from the others.
The horses will show by their playful
actions how much 'they enjoy this tem
porary relief from the stall. Another very
important thing, often neglected by farmers,
is 'the grooming of their teams. In' the
summer time the horse, by rolling in the
pasture, to a certain extent cleans himself;
besides, the rains have some effect. But in
the stable he relies on the care of his mas
ter, and the keen enjoyment the curry
comb and brush evidently give him should
be ample reward for the labor. A well
lighted stable, thoroughly ventilated yet
free from currents of air, should also be
provided.'
In regard to the feed of horses, most
farmers, we think, will agree to the pro
position that it is always good economy to
grind or mash all kinds of grain before
feeding. It is well established tihat cut
straw, cornstalks or other coarse fodder fed
with some grain, iszcheaper than to winter
the horses wholly on. hay. ~ W ithout stop
ping to assign reasons, we think they also
come out in the spring in better condition
than wheir fed on hay alone. Good wheat
or oat straw, fed with bran, strengthened
with corn meal, has been found excellent.
When the weather is not too cold, it is pre
ferable to dampen the cut hay or straw and
sprinkle the 'meal on it.
The wintering of horses should begin'
with the first approach of cold autumn,
nights. No work horse should now be left
in the pasture except in the daytime. Ex
posure to a single autumn storm might
cause damage enough to the farmer's tams
to-have paid for years of timely care.

=folio method of keiOngiweet potatoes
auring, '
'• Two or, three plans . are preCtieed in this
community. One iwto.build.a • small cellar,
say,twelve or fifteen feet_Square, under the
.family -room of the house, only entered by
a trap-door through the floor—the cellar
walls fitting up to the floor of the room
snag, so that no air can get through. • The
potatoes are dug and allowed to dry, when
they are let down into the cellar without
bruising. Through the winter the cellar is
ventilated once or twice a week by opening
the trap-door for half an hour, during
which time the outside doors of the room
above should be kept closed. I have kept
sweet potatoes in this way till the middle of
April.
Another, and I think the best, plan is to
build a house within . a house, filling, the
space between the walls with •clay. Two
doors are hung—one to the inner, and one
to the outer wall. The space above the
joints is filled with clay or saw-dust. The
potatoes are dug and hauled to the house.
The - floor, or rather the ground, is covered
with dry chaff. A layer of potatoes is
carefully laid on, and another layer of
chaff, and the process continued till the
pile is about three feet high. A thick
layer of chaff is then spread over the top,
and the process is completed. A box, two
by six inches, is placed in the wall opposite
the door for the purpose of ventilation.
This is kept closed in cold weather, and
only opened in the middle of the day on
warm days;
Will it pay ? One of my neighbors,
whose name I might give if it was neces
sary, planted two acres to sweet potatOes
last year, and did all the work of cultiva,
tion hiniself, and he is sixty years old. He
has two potato houses, built after the plan
given above. In the spring he sold out of
the two houses and off of the two acres, five
hundred bushels at three dollars per bushel.
Other cultivators in this country are doing
as well, and perhaps better; but I give this
man's crop as an example becausel know
the facts. Sweet potatoes generally sell
fox'one dollar in the fall, and from two to
four in the spring.
Sweet potatoes are not affected by drouth
like Irish potatoes, and are not eaten by
the potato-bug'
HIM SHOES FOR THE LADIES,
winter is coming, and we desire to say a
word or two.to our lady readers about cloth;
ing the feet.
When the celebrated physician Aberne
thy died, report .said that, beside -a will of
some interest -to his heirs, in a pecuniary
point of view, there was found among his
effects a sealed envelope, said to -contain
the secret of his great success in the heal
ing are, and also a rule of living, the follow
ing of which would insure longevity.
A large price was paid for the sealed en
velope. It was found to contain only these
words :" To insure continued health and
a ripe old age, keep the head cool, the sys
tem open and the feet warm."
Dry feet are warm feet, generally, if the
system is healthy. To keep the system
healthy the circulation must be good. The
circulation is - not good without exercise,
and exercise can only be really valuable
when walking. Riding in a carriage is no
exercise at all; it is merely inhaling the
air. This is very well as far as it goes, but
the lungs are not in full play without the
individual is walking. Horseback exercise
is, very good, and is an improvement -en
carriage riding, but it is not the kind of
health-creating play- of the muselee nature
demands. It is action—action of the entire
bddy—and walking only will procure it.
Now, flue ladies of Europe, particularly
those f England, understand this thing.
They walk miles per day, and if any of our
pale beauties desire to know how the Eng
lish ladies keep up their fine color, clear
complexion and superb busts, we tell them
it is by out-door exercise; walking in the
open air; filling the lungs with pure oxygen,
by rapid movement on a sharp October
day, when`the sun shines brightly stalls
clear blue sky is above. This is the secret
of the rich blood of the English women,
and their almost universal fine looks and
matronly beauty at fifty, 7hen at that age
American wegnen are pile, sallow and
wrinkled.
To enjoy a walk, thick soles are needed.
Stout, well•fitted calf-skin high gaiters,
neatly laced, will always " set off" a pretty
foot, and improve a homely one. To guard
that sensitive portion of the human frame
.(for the sole of the foot is keenly sensitive
to the changes from heat to cold, or.dryness
to dampness,) the boot sole should be
thick, and as well made as human ingenuity
can do it. Then, even in moist weather,
or in a rain storm, the foot can be pro
tected ; that insured, all is well in the
body.—Moore's Rural.
RANCID BUTTER FOR COOKING.
Many persons sneer at the common
notion that butter too rancid to be eaten
rain upon bread, may be used without ob
jection in cooking; but this notion, like
many other popular ideas, is more, in ac
cordance with the truth of the matter than
the imperfect knowledge which ridicules it.
All fats are compounds of aeids with
glycerin. Butter is a mixture of oeveral
fats, and one of them, constituting however
only a small portion of its mass, is, buty-
Tine ; this a compound of butyric.aoid with
Butyrine, like other fats, is a
neutral substance, but when it is decom
posed—in other words, when the butyric
acid is separated from the glycerin with
wbiph it is combined—we then haver the
two substances, the acid and the glycerin,
exhibiting each its peculiar properties.
Butyric is a very powerful acid, caustic
and sour, and having that peculiar strong
odor which is characteristic of rancid butter.
One of the early steps in the decay of but
ter is the decomposition of the bntyrine,
which is made manifest by the odor of the
butyric acid set free, and by the sour and
biting taste of this acid.
Now, at a temperature of 315 degrees,
butyric acid is 'evaporated, hence it is only
necessary to raise the temperature of the
butter to this point in ordeuto drive oftthe
acid which makes it randftl, and to leave
the remainder, perfectly sweet. If ,rancid
butter is mixed in cake, a portion of -the
butyric acid will be absorbed by the water
in,the cake, and it may not be all expelled
'by theleat in baking;. but if the butter is
used for frying in an open pan, it is pretty
certain that the butyrio acid will all be
evaporated. With a knowledge of the pro
perties•of butyric acid, a skilful cook ought
to be able to use rancid butter in such ways
as to retain none of the rancidity in.the
cooked articles.
