The Calendar - - 285The Ministry of Today —Its New Equipment.*BY PROFESSOR C. R. HENDERSON.The University.The demands of the ne"w situation have awakened aliving response among those who are charged withthe high task of fitting the officers of the church fortheir professional duties. It is in the best life of thepresent that we discover the prophetic indications ofwhat ought to be. Our working and directive idealsdo not spring from a vacuum ; they are discriminating interpretations of the noble manifestations of thebest life within us, of the energy of the Holy Spiritwho is working by us his own holy will. We taste ofthe powers of the coming age. We foresee the riverat the spring.To the other speakers is assigned the discussion ofthe demands, the dangers and the opportunities of* Read at the Conference held in connection with the Twenty -fifth Convocation of the University, October 3, 1898. our age and land, j* It falls to me to discuss the attitude of expectancy and preparation which the leadersof the host of God should assume in view of thesedemands, dangers, and opportunities*Some of our excellent brethren who tremble for theark of Jehovah seem to think that university scholarsare morbidly restless, ruthless, and irresponsible agitators in the church, whose" whole business is to assemble on the Athenian hill to hear some new thing.But a moderate amount of reflection will show thatradicals are often the true conservatives and thatobstruction is destruction. After all, what causeschange ? Who is ultimately responsible for the tre*mendous advances made in wealth, in discovery, andfor the triumphs of the great races over the feeble,the brutal or the stagnant ? Who originally createdthe world in which increasing intelligence is the condition of continued existence ? Who is the primeinspirer of all arts and sciences which make the knowledge of a hundred years ago seem the childish folly oftoday ? Who stirs the eaglets5 nest and compels themto learn the use of their own wings ?God is the supreme Innovator. He comes to makeall things new, and they that trust him will walkwith him.Adjustment to the situation in which the Creator hasplaced us and to the truths he has revealed is our dutyand is the imperative condition of the very existenceof the church. Since our childhood some of us havefFor the paper on "The Ministry of Today— Its New Dangers " cf. University Record, Vol. Ill, No. 39.280 UNIVERSITY RECORDwatched the gradual extinction of a branch of the Baptist family which opposed all the efforts to spread thegospel, to establish Sunday schools and to urge socialreforms. One can hardly find the tombstones of someof those " conservative " churches. They were led byearnest and devout men, but they set themselves inthe way of the chariot of the Almighty. They whoturn their backs on the sun and curse it for too brightshining must lose, their sight as a penalty.. Thereis peril in the pursuit of knowledge, and scholarssometimes make shipwreck of the faith. But thereare also perils in refusing to use the best instrumentsof the art of navigation on these crowded modernocean lanes.The material resources of the modern church organization of higher education, as tabulated in the reportsof the national commissioner of education, give increasing evidence that the church is alive to its dutyand interest. Endowments, buildings, libraries, laboratories witness to the profound faith of the peoplethat God's guidance in the untrodden path may besafely trusted. The curriculum of Christian collegesand seminaries is constantly raised and enriched. Theapparatus for biblical, historical, and doctrinal studyhas been improved by all the labors of the past. Pedagogical science and art enable us to accomplish betterresults in a given series of years.The widening of the range of elective studies isvery significant. When churches are free to choose,they vary indefinitely in their selections of pastors, astheir situations and needs vary. Many of our mostuseful ministers have come from common occupations. Soldiers, merchants, lawyers, farmers haverisen to places of commanding influence. Kings aretaken from care of the sheepfold, and prophets hear thecall of duty while gathering fruit. Why should wenot expect and desire a variety in the equipment andcharacter of men in the ministry to suit these varying demands of the churches ? All ministers mustknow the Bible and its foundation truths and havedeep spiritual experience in divine life. After a necessary minimum is fixed there must be freedom ofchoice. This power to select will be abused. Dangerlurks in all freedom. But abundant life is safer thanthe cramping and chaining of intellect.Provision for wider range of study would be ruinouswithout a deeper devotion to Christ. Unsparing literary and scientific criticism has driven the scholarsaway from the outer wooden walls of religion to theimpregnable citadel. The rubbish has been abandoned to keep a firmer hold upon the jewel. Mediaeval geology, astronomy, and biology which hadbeen thrust into the book of Genesis, have been lost forever — and good riddance it is. We no longer pinour hopes and faith to a Miltonic cosmogony. Whenthe superstitions fell the true light shone forth withnew splendor. The sky did not come down when cobwebs were swept from monastic cells. We cannotswear by the masters Augustine, Aquinas, Calvin, andLuther. The church has lost its idols, but the divineChrist ! he is. in the foreground. Moses and Elias arerapt away in a darkening cloud from our Mount ofTransfiguration, and we see no man save Jesus only.We return to the simplicity, the philanthropy, thepurity, the filial confidence of his life and our feet areon the world's adamant.Is there not a gain in the theological thinking ofour century in the new emphasis on the immanenceof the Holy Spirit ? Certainly, we have here a supreme need. The scholar is necessarily a critic.Learning compels him to feel the crudities of half-knowledge. One is tempted to become an iconoclast,to become wildly impatient with the interpretations ofthe untaught.The scholar is often charged with being " too intellectual "— as if a teacher could know too much ! Itis not intellectuality which hurts the educated minister. It is not learning which chills a man to themarrow ; it is aimless, pedantic, bloodless, loveless,Christless learning which kills. It is rather agnosticism, obscured vision which is our peril. We knowtoo little of God, all of us, not too much.It is our hope of salvation from this useless, trumpery scholarship that we are revolting against thenotion of an " absentee " god and longing for a fullconsciousness of the immanent Spirit, creative, energizing, illuminating, warming in our own souls. Thisrecovery of the consciousness of God's real presenceis the note of great preachers of all ages. Men whodiffer in talents, voice, creed, and who have made adeep impression on the world have been alike in thisrealization of the Holy Spirit's indwelling.The renascence of personal trust in Christ anddevotion to the immediate leadership of his Spirithas created a new interest in human welfare in itswhole range. Again the very perplexities of theproblems of faith have urged the church leaders in thisdirection. We offered as evidences of Christianitythe ancient miracles, and men cried out for a livingChrist, for one who can help us now. Miracles are astumbling block to many in our congregations, not ahelp. A bewildered age looks for new signs that Godis — not merely was, long ago, down in Judea. Menabout us want something more of the church than amuseum of stuffed specimens and of armor whichbrave men once gained victories in. DoubtingUNIVERSITY RECORD 28*Thomas must be able to put his hand in the recentwounds of self-sacrifice for man's good that he maycry out, " My Lord and my God ! "The answer to this agony of doubt is the Christiancreation of new works of philanthropy, a readiness tohelp all men, not merely degenerate paupers, but eventhe highest and boldest spirits, on the way to yetloftier gains. It is something other than true Christian " spirituality " to look down with haughty contempt on the common aims and strivings of our fellowmen. The purely individualistic theory of societyis dead in ethics, dead in political economy, dead inthe theory of the state ; and it is time for it to disappear from our definitions of salvation. He wholives to himself is not in sight of Christ's meaning ofsalvation.To assist us in the difficult task of adjustment tonew situations God has providentially wrought outfor us the social sciences and placed them at our disposal. The limitations of purely philosophical andtheological training are severely felt by congregationsand by ministers who must deal with practical menwho reason by a different method and with men disciplined in natural science. At least one line of science should be followed up through the seminarycourse and in later life, one which will keep the theologian close to the interests, aspirations, sufferings,and thinking of his fellow men. Social science seemsto many of us most useful for this purpose. Theintroduction of the science and art of social studyand control into the seminary is an evidence of thedisposition of the leaders of theological instructionto give to the pastors and preachers of the nextgeneration that equipment which the coming century will demand.Science uninspired is like a good sword in the handsof a coward. Devotion to Jesus Christ, spiritual faithand fellowship, philanthropy ask for the best weapons in the contest for the victory and reign of Himwho taught us to pray : " Thy kingdom come ; thy willbe done on earth as it is done in heaven."The University Elementary School.group v.[This report covers the work done since the statement published in the University Record, November 11, 1898.]In history the study of the Dutch in New York wascontinued. The social life of the people was studied,and the occupations of men and of women described.The dress of the children, their games and school life were found interesting. The architecture, furniture,and household utensils helped to give a vivid pictureof colonial times ; and the old Dutch oven, contrastedwith the modern gas range, showed the improvementthat has been made in lessening labor. A sand mapwas made of the Hudson River and vicinity, and ofNew Jersey and Delaware, to fix in mind the geographical situation.With the Winter Quarter the history of Virginiawas begun. A short review served to bring out thereasons why colonization was attempted, and thecharacter of the early efforts, a search for gold and thenorthwest passage to India, were used to predict theresult. Sir Walter Raleigh's share in early attempts,the naming of Virginia, the settlements on Roanokeisland and the fate of each, were discussed. Then theevents in England which prevented further effortsfor several years, until the London Company wasstarted, were related," and the character of theJamestown colony told. The children at first thoughtthat a colony, composed chiefly of soldiers, would bemost certain to succeed; some thought that a majority of gentlemen would be the best thing as " theycould do the bossing." It was only by reasoning fromthe needs of the people in the new land for shelter,food, and clothing — which could only be obtainedfrom England at long intervals — that the class sawthe necessity for farmers, mechanics, weavers, etc., orworking people.Reading and writing form a larger part of the workof this group than of younger groups. Stories ofcolonial life are read, and compositions of the childrenare type-written and read.In science, continuing the subject of seed dissemination, weeds have been observed to see how much inore-lavishly they scatter seed than cultivated plants. Theharm done by weeds was seen to depend largely uponthe ease of seed dissemination.An experiment is being undertaken to find outwhether a growing plant obtains all of its weight fromthe earth, or in part from air and water. The childrenweighed (using the metric system) a flowerpot, filledit with earth, reweighed, and recorded the weight ofthe pot and earth, and of the earth alone. They thenweighed beans and corn and planted them. The potcontaining the growing corn or beans are being weighedfrom time to time, and much practice in number workgained.In cooking this group has done the same work asGroup IV reported last week. In addition they havestudied spaghetti and vermicelli, both as to their manufacture and Italian methods of cooking. Celery soupwas next prepared. The children decided that celerym UNIVERSITY RECORDcontained no starch as it could be eaten raw. As theflavor of celery was particularly desired, the water inwhich it was cooked was carefully measured. Thechildren gave direction for cooking after a discussionof the nature of celery. Vegetable soup, of potatoes,celery, and onions, was prepared, with milk. Thefact that the vegetables should be cooked first, howthey should be prepared for the soup, and the slowheating of the milk were brought out, and this lessonserved as a review of former lessons on the cookingof vegetables.In sewing the work-bags begun in the autumn havebeen finished with an initial letter worked on one side.Holders were needed in the kitchen, and the childrenwere given squares of felt to cut into strips to withina half inch of the edge. Across these felt strips ofdifferent color were interwoven, the whole, when finished, resembling a miniature checkerboard. Towelswere also needed, and were hemmed by the membersof this group.In the shop weather-vanes, yarn- winders and topshave been made. Small articles are chosen for theyounger children, so that skill in using different toolsmay be gained without risking loss of interest in thearticle being made.In the studio both object drawing and illustrationhave been done. The aim in each case has been torealize perspective. The children have drawn JohnAlden walking through the woods on his way to Pris-cilla, and Miles Standish as he "saw the new-builthouses and the people at work in the meadow." Aspinning-wheel was placed before them for objectdrawing, Small easels and drawing blocks nave beenobtained for the use of the pupils and aid in gainingfree-hand movements.In music special training of the ear to recognizemusical notes of the scale has been given, songs havebeen learned for chorus singing, and a song, originalboth in melody and words, was composed for Washington's birthday. The words only can be given here :** George Washington went off to warUpon a noble steed.He fought so well that people tellThat he was brave indeed.One night he crossed the DelawareWhen it was bitter cold.He beat the English enemyWith his companions bold."Gymnasium work consists of drill in marching,movements to secure erect poise, and games. Thechildren have had a physical examination, and exercises necessary for special development have been arranged. Official Notices.Official copies of the University Record for theuse of students may be found in the corridors andhalls of the various buildings in the University quadrangles. Students are requested to make themselvesacquainted with the official actions and notices of theUniversity, as published from week to week in theUniversity Record.University Extension.INCOME OF THE LECTURE-STUDY DEPARTMENT.The following table shows the sums paid to theUniversity by Extension Centres for work done in theLecture-study Department from 1892-3 to 1897-8 inclusive, distributed under five different heads.The astonishing total of the first year was the resultof a natural curiosity on the part of the people as towhat Extension work really was, combined with adesire to prepare themselves to understand better theexhibits of the World's Pair, as many of the first year'scourses related especially to the coming exposition.The marked falling off in the second year can be explained by the natural reaction from a pace set sorapid at first, and from the general apathy characteristic of so many departments of the city's life duringthe year following the exposition. The number ofcourses given during the last four years as compared with the number given during the first twoyears is somewhat larger than the respective incomeof these two periods would seem to indicate, since thefee for the normal lecture course, which was at firstfixed at 1150, was reduced in 1894 to $125.It will be seen that the sums paid by centres forthese lectures rose in the five years from 1893-4 to1897-8 inclusive from $13,874.22 to $20,243.51, almostexactly a 50 per cent, increase.If to the sums paid to the University we add thelocal expenses for printing, hall rent, etc., which donot appear in the above table, and for which we haveno definite returns, the total cost of these Extensionlectures to the centres would certainly exceed $130,000,and might approximate closely to $150,000. The factthat the income has steadily risen by a total of nearly25 per cent, during the last two years testifies to thegrowing appreciation of this work by the centres,while the fact that more than half of the sum totalreceived has been paid during the second three years,and considerably more than one-third of the totalduring the last two years is a sufficient answer to thestatement sometimes made that the interest in theUNIVERSITY RECORD 283Lecture study work of the Extension Division is declining. The centres certainly show by what is fromsome points of view the best of all evidences, willingness to pay for it, their growing appreciation of theimportance and value of this branch of the Extensionwork.It may be said that no account is taken in the following table of the sales of syllabi and books to thecentres, as these records are not kept in the Extension office.Income of Lecture-study Department, 1892-3 to 1897-8.(Report based upon the Records in the Extension office )1$o ©got,R ©o©©fe &3 ©- a 02_ ®©sOS QQ 9 u ©°61892-31893-41894-51895-61896-71897-8 $22,125.2213,874.2217,949.0416,661.0619.263.2720,243.51 $19,857.4412,294.8515,307.8614,568.4116,640.5717,551.51 $1,309.021,098.831,970.831,607.881,919.922,102.97 $98.6185.39174.72244.40263 90385.78 $647.85363.50111.95203.76122.55133.21 $ 212.3031.65383.6836.61316.3370.04$110,116.32 $96,220.64 $10,009.45 $1,252.80- $1,582.82 $1,050.61Edmund J.
