Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Permanent Committee on Education for the Ministry: Presented to the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, at Cleveland, O., May 23, 1857We have many young men members of our churches, who should be in a course of preparation for the ministry, but the discouragements of the ministry are so many, and. The inducements in worldly pursuits so great, that it is impossible to persuade them to a self immolation such as they see in the scores of dismissed and turned-off ministers all over the land. There must be a returning to the old ways and a walking in the old paths, and ministers and pe0p1e must be married for better or worse, as in old times. There is no other hope for our churches in the country places. The Methodist policy is rooting us out and supplanting us on all hands.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
