A FEW WORDS FOR YOUR PASTOR.
In our business correspondence with our
ministerial subscribers, many instances of
privation and hardship have come , to our
knowledvb which have affected us deeply.
The nat4g iffi our suffering brethren must
be rega rded as confidentially communicated
to us, but the general facts will, justify us
in addressing a few words to our readers in
the numerous congregations we - visit
weekly.
Take the case of one pastor, as a repre
sentative of many. Three years ago he re
ceived for his services a trifle over $5OO.
.On this small sum he managed to feed and
clothe his family and educate his children . ;
though how our worthy brother effected so
much out of so little, we are lost in con
jecturing. But since the outbreak of the
rebellion, all the necessariee, as well as the
luiuries of life, heve greatly advanced in
cost, some of them one hundred per gent.,
some Of them two hundred per cent., and
others - at still higher rata. Yet through
all these fluctuations, the pastor's salary,
unlike the price of gold, has remained the
same. It is consequently worth to him
now about as much as 8200 would have
been three years ago.
'T4' result of this state of things may
reelly be imagined. Retrenchment, where
there would seem to be so little room for it,
must nevertheless be practised again and
again, with nu unsparing hand. Tea, cof
fee, sugar, become contraband. Articles
of clothing, after receiving all the variety
of remodelings that skilful housewifery
knows so well how to practice, are with the
utmost difficulty replaced. The religious
journal, that has weekly cheered that faith
ful and laborious paEitor, must be sacrificed.
The blessed privilege of giving, the hap
piness of sharing in the Church's charities
and agencies of good, must be abandoned.
And not the least evil of all, the pastor's
mind must be disturbed, and his heart op
pressed, in the 'midst of his sacred. work,
by the cares and anxieties which the conk
dition of his family and his finances force,'
upon him.
Nor is this a solitary instance. Our
readers would be surprised, could they
learn how numerous are the cases of insuf
floient pastoral support.
And now a few words of respectful and
affectionate remonstrance to the people,
who Bit under the ministrations of these
laborious and
. poorly compensated pastors.
Brethren, ought these things tio to be ?
During the last three years you have large
ly advanced the wageS of the men who
assist you on your farm, at your trade, or
in your store. You are yourselves aelting
and receiving, for- what you sell, prices
largely in advance of those you were ac
customed to. Why then should your
.astor be suffered to toil on at the ld • -
reney is - r6lly so much less than you prom
ised to-give him 7
Will you .plead ? How then
was it possible for you, three years ago, to
pay him relativoly so mush more than
now ?
• Will you plead the increased expenses
of living? But we ask you, is it just and
right that the inconvenience of this in
creased expense should all be borne by
the minister, instead of being distributed
amongst his 'people 7 To augment your
pastor's salary might requip of , you some
self-denial on your part, the retrenchment of
some accustomed luxury or comfort. But
should this consideration deter you ? The
debt you owe your minister is—a compe
tent support, and this debt is as jietly due,
and should be as honestly paid, as your
store account, or the wages of your labor
ers. It is a poor economy, to save a few
dollars for yourself, at the expense of a
few more hours of care, and anxious
thought, and sad foreboding, to your ra
ter.
Do not lay aside this article and say—
" Well, I always did wonder how Rev. Mr.
SHIM ever got along with his people"—
or, " If I were Rev. Mr. JONES, I would
not stay and preach to such a penurious
church "—or, "It a shame that such a
rich church as Rev. Mr. THOMPSON'S, does
not pay him a better salary." No—re
spected reader; make ,the cape - your own.
When you take your accustomed seat -next
Sabbath in the sanctuary, and listen to ex
positions prepared for your ear and heart,
ask yourself the question—ltave I done
justice to my pastor ? When you profit by
his visits in your household, when in hours
of sickness or in times of bereavement, you
experience his soothing ministrations and
look to him for counsel, have you the con
scionsness that for All these nameless but
invaluable services you ate rendering an
adequate return? If so, that consciousness
must be a sweet satisfaction : but if your
heart condemns you, then see to it that the
wrong you have been thoughtlessly inflict
ing, be rectified at once.- -
That there are congregations which ap
preciate their pastor's labors, our columns
have from time to time furnished abundaiat
evidence; and it is from no desire to find
fault that we ,pen those, lines.' We trust
that in many cases it will be sufficient to
call the attention of the people to the in
adequate provision they'have made for their
pastor's support, and their `awakened sense
of justice will suggest and apply the rem
edy.
THE CALL OF CONGRESS FOR PRAYER
Previous to adjournment, both Rouses
passed a joint resolution calling upon the
President to appoint a day of , humiliation
and prayer. Such a movement on the part
of Congress is by no means common; but
it will be hailed - with great delight by all'
.Christian hearts. The language of the res
olution, and its entire spirit,•are of a char
aoter seldom teen in legislative deliver
ances. The President has, as a matter of
ourae, appointed such a day, which is
the first Thursday of August, and we believe
it will be observed as no other similar day
was.ever before observed in this country.
Ohriatians will humble -themselves and
pray with an .earnestness Ofteh felt. ,
While many will be bowed' before God,
who hale not been "accuitiotned- to ask h'ia,
interference in our national affaiia. Thi
resolution originated in the Senate, and is
as follows; we ask for it an attentive read-
ng:
"Be it resolved by the Senate and Rouse
of Representatives of the United States of
America in Congress assembled, That, the
President of the United States be request
ed to appoint a day for humiliation and
prayer by the people of the United States;
that he request his constitutional advisers
at the head of the Executive Departments
to unite with him, as the Chief. Magistrate
of -the Nation at the city of Washington,
and the members of Congress, and all mag
istrates; all civil, ,military and naval offt
cars ; all soldiers, sailors and marines, with
all loyal, and law-abiding people to convene
at their usual places of worship, or wherev
er they may be, to confess and repent of
their manifold.sins, to implore the compas-.
sion and forgiveness of the Almighty, that
if consistent with. his will the °light re
bellion May be - speedily suppressed and the
supremacy'of the constitution and laws of
the United States may be, established,
throughout all the States; to implore Him,
as the. Supreme Ruler, not to destroy us - as
a people, nor suffer us to be destroyed by
the hostility or connivance of other nations,
or by obstinate adhesion to our own cone.-
eels which may be in conflict with his eter
nal purposes; and to limplore him to en
lighten the mind of the nation to know
and do his
,will, humbly believing that it
is in accordance with his will that our
place should be maintained as an united
people among the family of nations; to im
plore him to grant to our armed defenders
and the masses of the people that,,courage,
power of yesistance and endurance necessa
ry, to secure that result ; to implore him
in his, infinite goodness to soften the hearts,
enlighten the minds, and quicken the con
science of those in rebellion, that they may
lay dein their arms and speedily return to
their allegiance to the United States,, that
they may not be, utterly destroyed; that
the effasion of blood may be stayed, and
that unity and friterniti may be restored
and peace established •throughout all our
borders."
The President has recommended the ob
servance of the First Thursday of August,
in the following words
" Now, therefore, I, ABRAHAM LINCOLN,
President of the United States, cordially
concurring with the Congress of the Uni
ted States in the penitential and pious sen
timents expressed in the foregoing resolu
tion, and heartily approving the devo
tional design and purpbse thereof, do hereby
appoint the first
,Thursday of August next
to be observed by the people of the United
States as a Arty of national humiliation and,
prayer.
" I do hereby further invite.and request
the heads of the Executive Departments of
this Government, together with all legisla
tors, all judges and ma:tstrates, and all
other persons exercising 7athority in the
land, whether civil, militiry, or naval, and
all'soldiers, seamen and marine: • , -
aw-abiding people of the United States, to
assemble in-their preferred places of public
worship on that'day, and there to render to
the Almighty and Merciful Ruler
_of- the
Universe such homage and such confessions,
and to offer to him such supplications as
the Magma of the United States have, in
their aforesaid resolution, so solemnly, so
earnestly, and so reverently recommended,
" In testimony whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.

KINNEY, 1).D., in Sewickley,
At the begipiiing'of the rebellion, Capt.
IVfoßiNrav was engaged in buiineis in
Nebraika. But when his .country needed
his services he devoted: himself at once to
the defence and preservation of the Govern
ment. He took an active' part in raising a
Company, which elected ,him one pf offi.
cers, and taervedmith. distinction ; through-
out the Missouri- campaign of ?REMONT in
1861, endurbfg reng exposures and great
hardships, laying the foundation - of that
disease which, at length resulted in his
death. Though suffering from illness, he
took part in the battles which,terminated
in' the Capture urFort Donelson. immedi
ately after this he was prostrated as to
be compelled to return to his father's
house. Yet it was not until-every hope of
being able to resume his duties in the
army had been cut off, that he consented to ,,
from the service of his country;
For many long months did he contend
with the 'disease which .had seized hith
with so firm a hold. At 'aims he was
cheered with the prospect of recovCrY but
as, frequently all such expectations were
dashed to the -ground, until at last his
spirit went to God who gave it. He was a
dutifnl son, a man of great integrity of
character, ,a brave soldier; andhe died re
iying solely ,on the merits of the blessed
Redeemer for salvation

In April, 1827, 'he resigned the charge of
of thes - congregations of Morgantown and
Greensboro', and was installed pastor of the
Tent church, to which he devoted the half
of his time. From this date ho labored
faithfully and successfully in the united
pastorate of the churches of George's Creek
and T l entt, till April, 1854, when he re
signed the charge of Georges- Creek; `Mg
ho might devote the whole of his time to.
the, Tent congregation. •
When —Dr. Fairchild took charge of
George's Creek, the number of communi
cants did not exceed ten, of whom one,
viz., _Henry Jenningsywas an elder. This
number increased, during the' first ten years
of his ministry there, to =one • hundred..
And owing
.to. a powerful work of grace
commenced in the congregation in. the Fall
of 1829, and which continued, with. little
• bateknent, for a - whole yearythe- church
gra* rapidly; , so that in 1882Ahe'number
in • communion". amounted. to. - one 'hundred •
and , eighty.

you woulti"not object to inserting a short
notice of it in your paper.
Our class numbers thirty-four members,
It is larger than the class of '63 was, st,
though not as large as other classes of for.
mer years.
The class is remarkable as being the
steadiest class that hr•s 'ever graduated at
Jefferson within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant. • More than three-fourths of
the class-=twenty-six out of thirty-four—
are professors -of religion. About fifteen
of these intend studying theology.
The oldest man of us will be, when grad.
nited, 31 yeara and 10 months, and the
yenned. 20 years and 2 months old.
The average age • of the class is nearly 21
years and 2" months. The sum of all our
ages is 821 years. The oldest ten men av
erage 28 years and.l month..
The average height of the class is about
5 feet 8i inches. If the whole class were
stretched length-wise in a row, said row
world be 184 feet,-4.4 inches long. The
tallest man measures 6 feet 3 inches, the
shortest .5 feet 4l inches. More than half
;the. class average 6 feet in height.
,The average weight of the class is 1•16
pounds. The, heaviest man weighs 175,
the lightest 125 pounds. The total weight
of the class is 4,9.5& pounds, a pretty re
spectable load for a, team. So you sec we
are uncommonly sober, old, tall, and heavy
class.
: ,There are. three red-headed men in the
'
claw - one is at the head of the class in al
phabetical order, another at the foot, and
the, third just in the middle.
Ass to, scholarship we compare favorably
with ,other classes, and are not remarkable
for being over-wise nor foolish, and it is to
be hoped• that we have made, and will make
a briglat resort for ourselves.
