Deatti of Rev..llr. taird.—The announce
ment of, the death of this distinguished
Chriitian minister and philanthropist, will
be received with heart-felt sorrow by thou
sands in distant lands as well as our own.
Be ,died at his residence at Yonkers, on
the Hudson river, on the 15th inst., in the
sixtpsixth year of his age. Owing to the
lb:lama:Cy - of the relations which have ex
isted for forty years between the deceased
and the Senior Editor, we leave to the lat-.
ter, on his return from a distant journey,
the` 'pleiiing duty of firnishing to the
readers or the Banner , an appropriate bio
graphical sketch. •
ARE MORE MINISTERS NEEDED ?
This question has been mooted in sever
'al Churches. - Certainly there is work for
vastly more. The main objection to an in
crease is, that they cannot be supported;
.-neithet.in the foreign field nor.the domes
tic. IThe law of demand and supply may
be supposed to rule here as in other mat
ters • but here, as in other matters the
de
mand_ may be increased and a proper
view of the.trubject may lea'd to efforts in
'that direction.
The New-York Evangelist, in discussing
the question, in relatinn to the New School
Presbyterian Church, says :
"We have about 1400 churches and
1550' ministers. At first sight •this state
ment , Would seem to, contradict our posi
tion; but bare figures are Often very decep
tive. . Of 'this 1550, about 300 are marked
as being without charge. These are the
aged-, the impaired in health; the secular
ized, who have lost the disposition to
preach; those who on actual trial have
- proved 'that they , and the Presbyteries were
mistakeb in supposing that they possessed
the Scripture.qualification of being apt to
teach;' and a small nil' 41- c my r
• gage again.: Deducting these,
1250 are left. Of this remainder, 55 are
Foreign Missionaries, 22 are City Mission
aries and Colporteurs,
41 are •Chaplains,
mostly in the army, 25are , Pastors of Con
gregational Churches, 45 are Secretaries
and Akents, 82 are engaged in the business
of Education, 10 are- Editors ; and the
employments of some others are not desig.
,hated snaking in all about 850. This
part of our ministry is doing, good service
generally, and should, not be removed to
:other engagements. We owe something to
theleld at large, and it is to be presumed '
that these have found that part where they
.are ,, znost useful.- Deducting these from
the' whole. number, but about 900 only re
main for the service of 1400 churches in
the' pastoral; work, or one minister to one
church And-a half. r The whole number un
dergoes an annual-_waste of near 50 by
Alesithi increasing age, failing health, and
other -, causes and the annual additions
froth' nur Theological Seminaries• but little -
more , thartisupply this.waste."
It is probable that an examination into
the statistics - of - the Old School Presbyte- •
rian Church Would show pretty nearly simi
lar proportions ; and wherein we differ from
our sister Church,it would show that we,
still more - than she, need an increase of
ministers. Let there Ile the right kind of
workmen, and, they will find fields in which
to labor: IPETER, and 'TAMES; and JOHN,
•
and PAuL, did not• wait for calls from or
ganized churches; they went out and found
ed churches. •
More , ministers are needed; men well
edicated; ' , vigorous, prudent, evangelical,
and poisessed of such a propensity to Work,
that they cannot but serve Christ in the
.Gospel:

REVISED BOOK OF DISCIPIAINE,
PROFESSIONAL COUNSEL.
In our issue of last week, we spoke of the
Status of _Baptized Persons, their rights and
duties, and the duty of the Church toward
them, as presented in the Revised Book of
Discipline. We now allude to anothei sub
ject—The Employment of Professional
Counsel. Both.reports propose a change
in the rule.
The present Book says :
"No professional counsel shall be permit
' ted to appear and plead in cases of pro
cess in any of our ecclesiastical courts.
But if any accused person feel unable to
represent and plead his own cause to ad
vantage, he may request any minister or
etaTcrbelonging to the judicatory before
which he appears, to preparoand exhibit
his cause as he may judge proper."—
Chap. IV., 21.
The proposed substitute reads thus.:
"No professional counsel shall be perinit
ted to appear sad plead in cases' of pro
cess in any of our ecclesiastical courts;
but an accused person may, if - he desires
it, be represented by any communicating
member of the church, subject" tothe ju
risdiction. of the court befo7T wh'ich he
appears."—Chap. IV., 11.
This modification is important. We
would not very . •eeriously oppose, it; and
yet we would• rather it had not been intro-
duced. It proposes to exclude professional
counsel, and yet, it admits Buell counsel,
providing the lawyer be a communicating
member,of the individual church, if the
trial is -before the Session ; or. of any : church
within the Presbytery, if the trial is in that
court; or within the;Synod, when the trial
is there; or within the General' Assembly,
when the case is carried thither; for each
superior court has " jurisdiction" over the
court, or courts below it, and hence, 1
through-those courts, over the Members of
the churches. This, makes every commu
nicating lawyer in the Presbyterian Church
a qualified advocate on the floor of the Gen
eral Assembly. •
Here is certainly, a liberal latitude grant
ed to the " aceustd." The accuser is not
named; but a regard to the custom of the
Church and to the, maintenance of right
eoustiess, and to impartial justice, ( . for if
the accuser fails to make out his ease, he is
liable to censure,) would give him the
same privilege. Thus we might see in our
Assembly, a contest conducted by the most
acute, tortuous, loquacious, awl long:wind
ed " professional counsel" in the Church.
It is true that, by ,•a very strict construc
tion of the qualifying words, "subject to
the'jurisdiction of the: court before which
he appears," they might be made to mean
.
only the Session; because the - Session,
alone, has original jurisdiction over a pri
vate member, or everran elder. But if the
committee meant this strictness, why use
the general term, " court" ? Why net
say, ,S'.ssion The natural interpretation is,
'that before a ehurch Session,, any commit
kieTore 'a — freilajter, any
` such' member of any church within "the
'Presbytery; and so of a Synod; and so
also of the Assembly; and as the Assembly
embraces all the churches, any lawyer in
our communion is a qualified countellor, if
so invited by a person accused; as was be
fore noted.'
If
If the ends of justice would be subserved
by throwingupen the doors thus wide; we
would be disposed to submit to the attend
ing inconveniencei. But ' , we could not
hope for this. It is not questions of prop
erty, nor of fines and imprisonments, which
we discuss; nor hive we piles' of law-books
to investigate. It is` religion, and Morals
which come before our .Church courts;;' and
our Bible and Confession of Eaith,, are
the .only ; Standards we admit,
~_Hence
the men we want' in dur. judicatories, 'are .
..the good, limiest ministers and elders, each
a member of the court, andiall faithful stn
dents of Ged's, Word.
Where scores of Volumes are to be search
ed, for statutes, Precedeits, and decisions,
running bacifor generations, it is'welt to
hays, not a lawyer, but lawyers and then
a Judge, oquallrwelF'read, is needed to
give a discriminating :l eharge. But such
things belong ,uot to Ecclesiastic . Councils.
Their law is the ; Book of God, its doctrines
and Moral principles; with which ;'the mem
hers are all familiar from their childhood:
What vie need' is deep a hive for
truth and righteoisneis, atel.gbOd common
sense. Then•shalllwe,be able to judge be
tween our brethren; with correct judgment,
to reprove wifikedikess," an& to discover - and
thrust out heresy:

and hence became a reproach: 'Lawrence,
twelve miles East, was 'made. thkeounty
seat, and Topeka wag made the capital; and
now even the stage route is altered so that
travellers go by without even a passing
sight of the but lately far-famed city. It
never had one thousand inhabitants, and
now it has not half that number.
But shall Lecomption.be forgotten ? No;
that cannot be. Shall she then be held up
to lasting odium ? No ; we trust not.
That should not be. If pro-slavery men
settled there, so also did freedom's sons;
and the latter bold the soil. There, and
close by, were freedom's battles fought,
and won. There did Iter.DEF., and GEARY,
and WALKER, and. STANTON, men sent to
perv'evt the freedom of Territory, and: cre
ate a State for slavery, nobly, assert, man's
rights, and yield their. - places rather : than
favor the consummation of so great an out
rage. And 'the freemen. of 'Lecompton not

"It is olaimed by the friends of this
measure, and so far es-we can see, with en
tire justice s that Whatever ulterior effects
it may produce, it has already accomplished
two things of Very great importance_ One
of these is the fatal clog it has put upon
the conscription in the rebel States. While
there have been no organized insurree
tions, yet there has p been an uneasiness in
.the slave population which has compelled
the Southern oligarchy to forbear their
purpose of enrolling every able-bodied
white. Their armies, accordingly, remain
almost stationary. They cannot increase
them largely, and it is as much as they can
do to make good the loss by sickness, de
sertion, and casualties. The bull' has
certainly frightened the.‘ comet! Whether
the slaves are peaceable or not, the mas
ters have become afraid of a rising, and
this has in some degree paralyzed the
military arm.
" The other influence ' the one , wrought
in' England. It is very, clear that row the
real, Christian," conscientious, anti-sMery
feeling of Britain is aroused-on-our side---
that,feeling which years ago, in the , face of
the most formidable obstacles, abolished
