APPENDIX.

ADDRESSES AT THE NINTH ANNIVERSARY.

Professor Calvin E. Stowe, of Andover Theological Seminary, offered the following resolution:

Resolved, That this society, by aiding in the establishment on our great Western Home Missionary Field-of the higher institutions of learning under Christian influence, and with the leading design of furnishing an educated and evangelical ministry-is directly and most efficiently co-operating with other agencies in securing the evangelization of our country, and that it deserves a position in the systems of benevolence adopted by the churches which it represents corresponding to the relative greatness of the work which it is designed and adapted to accomplish.

The following sketch gives the substance only of the admirable and very effective address with which Professor Stowe sustained this resolution:

This society originated in a very pressing exigency. The institutions of learning which it has aided, have been saved from extinction by it, and other institutions are rapidly rising up to lay claim to its benefactions.

The various benevolent organizations, in the present era of the church, have all been called forth by exigencies, and they are not yet systematized and consolidated as they must be before they can properly be regarded as fixed in a permanent form. Changes in this respect are needed-and these must be effected by time and experience and Christian wisdom.

Without, then, discussing at all the particular form of operation which this society, to meet a particular exigency, at first adopted, or speaking of its permanency in this particular form, I would say a few words, in accordance with the resolution, of the necessity of the operation itself, of the permanency of the object as an essential element in the scheme of Christian beneficence.

The Christian church has always found it to be essential to her efficiency and stability of existence that she have access to, and to a good extent the control of, a full series of educational institutions from the lowest to the highest. In regard to this matter, she must never be behind the community on which she operates, but always in advance of it.

Experience has demonstrated the necessity of this in respect to all our foreign missions. Notwithstanding the doubts and hesitations of many good men, whether in our foreign missionary efforts we ought to go beyond the simple work of preaching the gospel, in the sense in which that phrase is commonly understood-experience has demonstrated the absolute necessity of maintaining on all our foreign missionary fields, a series of educational institutions in advance of the community on which they are to operate. The mission schools must be the best schools, the highest schools, accessible to the people for whom the mission labors.

In this, experience has taught us to follow the example of the primitive church. The apostle John, who outlived all the other apostles, when he saw that those who had received miraculous gifts were dying out in the church, and no more ministers thus endowed were to be expected, spent the last days of his life in establishing a theological school at Ephesus, that sound learning might stand in the place of the gift of tongues and other miraculous powers, as a means of defence and progress. Elementary schools in the churches existed at the very earliest periods.

Julian the apostate had been educated in the Christian schools, and he knew well what was the strongest bulwark of the Christian faith against an opposing world, after the miraculous gifts had ceased. Accordingly, when he came to the imperial throne and had determined to root out Christianity, he prohibited all Christian schools of a high order; he made it a penal offence for a Christian to learn or teach the classics, or philosophy, or any of the higher branches of literature and science. Thus he struck a more fatal blow at the permanency and efficiency of the Christian church than all the bloody persecutions of his predecessors; immense mischief followed his policy, brief as was his reign; and had he lived in power as long as Constantine, the whole Christian church, unless some special Providence had interposed, would have been very much what the native churches of Egypt and Ethiopia now are.

When any one of the series of educational institutions ceases to be accessible to the church, and drops out from her influence or control, it shows that the church is departing from her purity, or losing her hold on the people. During the middle ages, elementary schools for the common people ceased, because the church had ceased to care for the instruction of the common people, and had become a proud, ambitious, unspiritual, worldly organization.

The Methodists at first had no colleges-why? Because the Methodists in England, under Wesley, were not a church-did not profess to be a church-they were simply a society for the promotion of a revival of religion in the church of England, and the educational
