Ritschl's, " ethics and the kingdom of God are primary," is only an echo of the Christ's " first his kingdoni and his righteousness." All is personal. Lotze gives fine expression to the great truth, " All being, all that we call mode and form, thing and content, the whole sum of nature, can be nothing else than the condition for the realization of the good, can be as it is only because thus in it the infinite worth of good manifests itself." ... . "The true reality, that is and ought to be, is not matter and is still less idea, but is the living, personal spirit of God, and the world of personal spirits he has created. They only are the place in which good and good things exist."
God's great problem is to reach men with his truth and life. God's great agency is equally personal. To make infinite love and life tangible, accepted, in human lives, God uses human lives which have already accepted his love and life. It takes a personality to catch a per- sonality. Hosea's fine philosophy is about final for us, " I drew them with the cords of a man."

The Method and the Man
It was in Galilee and Judea, nineteen hundred years ago, that God gave the world the great illustration of his method. There and then infinite power and wisdom and love found their dwelling in human personality, and God said to all the world: " Behold, the Man! " Jesus could say, in all accuracy, " I am the Way," " I, if I be lifted up .. . , will draw all men." The same principle God would use to-day, only with less worthy material. Jesus said, " I am the light," also " Ye are the light." Josiah Strong gives apt expression to the truth, " Christ would still seek the lost, but he must do it now on our feet. He would still minister, but he must do it with our hands. . He would still warn and comfort and encourage and instruct, but he must do it with our lips. If we refuse to perform these offices for him, what right have we to call ourselves members of his body, in vital union with him?"
Truth is not, finally, for truth's sake, but for righteousness' sake, and that is always personal. Phillips Brooks said, " I would rather write a great biography than any other kind of book, just as I would rather paint a great portrait than any other kind of picture." This great prophet of personality did something better, - he furnished material for a great biog- raphy. President King, the new prophet of personality, is doing the same, - teaching and illustrating the fact that truth is powerful only as it is personal. The phonograph and the gesturing machine will not suffice; there must be the personal teacher or preacher. The device whereby a nickel in the slot brings a metal arm and hand jerking out of the hollow- ness of a brazen figure to greet the stranger at the church door is not a good substitute for the warm-hearted personality, the genuine usher. When the writer of Hebrews began to write about faith, he tried to define it, and he did as well as any man could. But he despaired of making faith real by a definition, and so he gave us the immortal list of illustrations, and in Abraham and Moses and Gideon we see what is beyond definition.
To-day we are interested in the kindred fact, that organization, ma- chinery, is powerful only as it is personal.
But why any machine and organization? Why is not personality enough? What need of method if you have the man?
The one justification for any organization, any mechanism, in moral and religious work, is that the organization multiplies the points of personal contact. The machinery, rightly planned and used, makes the man more effective for good.
We are seeking all the time for our denomination, not only a rec- ord of good done, but the largest amount of good on the part of the men and women who are a part of our body. Assuming the presence of life, there may well be the finest possible channel for its expression. Assuming the man, there may well be the finest possible method for the application of his powers to results. It would be a pathetic sight to see the great Dudley Buck trying to get music out of a two-by-four melodion; a trained chaffeur driving an ox team. In the quaint figure of the old-
SS
The Method and the Man [1906
time preacher, " If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct."
We are not compelled to choose between man and method, but having both we are warned to keep the emphasis where it belongs. For the peril, always, of a well-built machine or an elaborate order of worship is that the mechanism shall become a substitute for the life. The tool, keen edged, can never do the work of the man; the " order of service," designed to give expression to the spirit of worship, must be kept as servant, and not permitted to become a substitute for the worship which is "in spirit and in truth." You will find all grades of emphasis on the mechanismn in any organization which has grown to maturity; for example, the Christian Endeavor Society. At its beginning the mechanism was the method, a blessed one, for the more effective use of newly developed life. It has often had the same service to method for other companies of young people.
Often the mechanism of Christian Endeavor has been made the nucleus for the initiation of a new life, and has been blessed in its mission. Often, alas, the mechanism has been put into a parish as a substitute for life among the young, as if the method would do the work without the man.
We must have organization for largest results; we must have people for any result. We may have a machine, we must have the man. A man with no method at all may still be mighty. Any method without the man is meagre. No machinery is absolutely essential for moral and spiritual results. Christ had none. No faults in a method can stay the influence of a real personality. Better Dudley Buck at the two-by-four melodion, than the fine organ of the St. Louis Exposition with a lay figure on the bench. Better an old stage coach with live horses and driver, than the up-to-date transcontinental express with no steam or engineer. Better a flail, with a man at one end of it ready for work, than the complicated threshing machine with no workers. Better the fine chemist and the poor laboratory, than the contrary arrangement. Better the house of worship with the living personality to preach, though there be no deacons or trustees or societies or committees, than all the mechanism of a modern church and a wooden man to utter abstractions.
We may have machinery, must have, for largest results, but we must have man for any results. Even when it seems that machinery has been arranged to do it all, we come ever and again to the essential place of the personality.
This fact was strongly impressed upon my mind as the result of several visits to our great cotton mills. I went about among the whirling wheels, and speeding belts, and flying spindles, and throbbing looms; the mind went back through the generations since there was one person for each spindle, to the day when in a room with eighty-five thousand spindles there are about eighty-five people, and I said, "Once the person was prominent; now the machine is everything; it is all automatic and not at all human." But a second impression, and the one that abides in the mind, is of the
89

The Method and the Man
limitation of the machine, that it is powerless in itself. At almost every step of the transforming process, from growing cotton to finished cloth, the call is for the person. How shall the raw material, the bale of cotton, be brought into touch with the transforming process? Only by the person. And again I learned that we are all John the Baptists, bringing ncedy souls into the presence of the redeeming Christ. When something breaks, how is the damage to be repaired? Only by a person. If the teeth of the carder are bent, if the bobbin is empty, if the thread snaps, there must be a person to put things right. The fine mechanism of the mills is such that the ma- chine will stop if the thread breaks, but no machine knows how to start itself again. And I learned anew that "if a man be overtaken in a fault " no ecclesiastical mechanism can set him right, but that we "who are spiritual," spirit-led persons, are to " restore such an one."
What is the secret of the varying patterns and figures in the product of the looni? Again, only persons. The marvellous Jacquard loom will do wondrous things in weaving fancy figures in the cloth, but it cannot swerve one iota from its appointed way, and what that way is a person decides. Back in the designer's room is the secret of the variations. For individuality in the product, there must be personality in the process. And if all this be true in the cotton mill, with yards and miles of cloth for its goal, how much more in the Congregational churches, with immortal souls for their central interest!
God is calling the sons of the Pilgrims to larger, nobler, finer service in his kingdom than they have ever done.
In doing our work we are not called to choose between man and method, one or the other. But, having both, we are called to see that man, not method, is master. We are not simply called to get results. If that is all, we need not any machinery, not even the simple one our fathers bequeathed to us. But we are called to get largest possible results, and that means the best possible mechanism our wisdoni can devise. Organi- zation makes for results by multiplying points of personal contact. The more conscious we are of being possessors, as a denomination, of an heri- tage of wisdomn and devotion and intellectual power, the more must we devise the method that shall give these things most effectiveness. We do need some better mechanism for best results. The new speed. demanded by the kingdom is not possible with the ancient engine. The large and varied results involved in the present day's life are not possible with the old time ecclesiastical spindle and loom. Partly the Pilgrim mechanism needs some lubricating, partly a readjustment of details, and partly some new wheels and belts. It is a perilous thing for us to break with our past. It is far more perilous for us to break with our future. The wise worker brings out of his " storehouse things new and old."
But the thing of absolute value to-day is the thing that was of absolute value yesterday. The divine motive power is the same, " not by might nor by power, but by my spirit." The old principle of work is the same,
90
The Method and the Man [1906
- that divine energy residing in men and women. The open secret of the glorious story of the Pilgrim is this, - consecrated persons, devoted men and women, led of God.
New method is only the device for applying old principles, old power, to the new work, multiplying points of contact between persons who are the goal of all effort, and persons who are the agents of all successful effort. Hosea's fine and final philosophy, " I drew them with the cords of a man," gives point to the modern cry, which comes to us to-day:
" Wanted! Men! Not systems, fit and wise; Not faiths, with rigid eyes; Not wealth, in mountain piles; Not power, with gracious smiles; Not ev'n the potent pen. Wanted! Men!"
STATISTICAL TABLES
EXPLANATORY
The tables which follow comprise:
1. The statistics of the churches, giving the ministers, church member- ship, additions, removals, baptisms, Sunday schools and families; the statistics of the Young People's Societies; the amounts of benevolences and expenses. These tables, in accordance with the vote of the Associ- ation, in 1887, are made to conform to those in the YEAR-BOOK.
2. The Conferences of the churches, with the names of officers and the times of meeting.
3. The Ministerial Standing, giving the date of ordination of each minister, the date of membership, the residence and his " employment." The abbreviations "P." and "P.C." are explained below. "W.C." means without church; "Prof." means professor; " C.M.," church mis- sionary; " T.," teacher; other abbreviations are self-evident. "W.C.," however, includes many who have retired from active service, and some who are in business.
4. The Ministerial Record, containing lists of ordinations, installations, dismissals, marriages and deaths.
The tables of the first part contain the names of all the Congregational churches in Massachusetts, the towns and cities being arranged alphabeti- cally; churches in each town according to age.
Church members and families are reported as numbered January 1, 1906. Admissions, removals and baptisms cover the year 1905. " Absent " are not additional to " males," " females" and " total," but included in them. "Sunday school " includes total membership of officers, teachers and scholars, January 1, 1906, or when the school is in operation (if not at that date), covering " branch schools," " mission schools " and " home departments," so far as maintained by the reporting church.
The months and days in the dates of the organization of churches are omitted. They will be found in the publication of 1873, those of churches since organized being given in the " Minutes " of each year. Also the months and days in the dates of ordination and installation of ministers are omitted. The former may be found in the lists of the local Associ- ations, which follow the tables.
" Ordained " denotes the date on which the person was originally set apart to the ministry by the " laying-on of hands." " Installed " denotes the date of the beginning of his present pastorate.
In accordance with the recommendation of the National Council, pas- tors installed or recognized by council are marked " p.c."; pastors duly called by their churches and recognized by some " definite act of the church," but not by council, are marked " p."; others in service are not marked, but in tabular summaries are counted as " supplies."
Blanks in any column of figures are never equivalent to " none," but mean " no report "; but blanks in the column of ministers do mean that the church has no pastor or acting pastor, and the blank is left for the con- venience of those who note changes.
All post-office addresses are to be found in the "List of Minis- ters," and NOT IN THE TABLES.
