The other most marked distinctive feature of Park College is the "Family" arrangement. Park College is the outgrowth of "Park College Family," a very peculiar institution (if we may so call it), which is so closely connected with Dr. John A. McAfee, its founder, that it can best be understood through his history. His father's crippled financial condition in consequence of his investments in Marion College (in sight of which Dr. McAfee was born) so noted in its time as an in- tended self-supporting industrial institution, compelled him to secure a full classical education, by his own un-

aided efforts, after he had reached his majority. That struggle qualified him to sympathize with the many youth financially unable to secure an education and he felt called of God to give his life to opening a way for such to obtain a college education and training. He gave himself to teaching, and from the first began to carry out his idea by taking into his own family and giving a home to one or more young men, for whom he could find something to do which would ena- ble them to accept the help given without forfeiting their own self-respect. He sought to induce others to aid in carrying out his ideas, with but limited success, for most considered them visionary. In 1870, at High- land, Kans., he began work on a larger scale, gathering under his own roof about thirty young people for whom he provided regular work of some kind. He there perfected, in its practical details, the development of the "family" idea. This was the reception of wor- thy but poor youth of both sexes into all the privileges and duties of a Christian home, under loving watch- care and full parental control. Financial aid from without supplemented what they could do towards their own self-support.
In 1875 he accepted the invitation of Hon. George S. Park to remove his "Family" (later known as "Park College Family") and work to Parkville. He and his life companion (specially fitted for, and called like himself to this work) were the united head of this "Family." In it a care and responsibility for each other's welfare in all respects, were inculcated and practiced. The recent expulsion of two unworthy men by the fellow students of their dormitory, with the knowledge and approval of the President, is a natural sequence of the brotherly responsibility ever laid upon all, and acknowledged by the majority. As the insti- tution has prospered, the occasion and opportunity for every kind of farm work, for quarrying, stone cutting, building, repairing, printing, baking and every kind of work connected with and needed in a family of some hundreds, have arisen and made "all-around" men.

Habits of industry, punctuality and unflinching fidel- ity regardless of weather and hardship, have been formed. Ambition to excel in their assigned work, and thus to be intrusted with greater responsibility, is cul- tivated. The guying which the student, careless or stupid about his work, receives from his fellows, is good discipline. Faithful work is recognized as the highest manliness.
But not alone or chiefly to the invaluable discipline and experience gained in the "Family"-the Self-Help Department-is to be credited the recognized fitness and readiness of Park College graduates for self-deny- ing service. President McAfee's high ideals of conse- cration and service, backed by the inspiration which his life and personal influence gave, largely reproduced in them his own character. He ever insisted that the deepest need, not any possible personal considerations, was the loudest call to the Christian worker. The sympa- thy ever shown, even in sharing his scanty wardrobe with destitute students, gave his teachings a firmer grip. The wonderful growth of the work during the fifteen years of his presidency was the result of his in- domitable energy and exhausting self-denial. After spending the day, in our Eastern cities, in the most wearisome and trying work of soliciting for a greatly misunderstood cause, he would utilize his time by rid- ing all night, never taking a sleeper, because of the expense. Thus he did thirty years' work in fifteen years.
Making no individual mention of the more than a hundred alumni who have done more or less of ordi- nary home mission work, often helping with their own hands in building churches and manses, and often bringing their churches up to self-support, the effec- tiveness of the religious influence in Park College is partially indicated by the following list of those who have engaged, for a shorter or longer period, in what may be called distinctively "missionary" work, in all lines and under various auspices-chiefly the Home

Ida Grace McClung, '91, valedictorian of her class, would have been in this list if her life had been spared.
More space for Park College cannot reasonably be asked, so we must not speak at length of the very effi- cient President, Lowell M. McAfee, LL. D .- eldest son and successor of the first President-or of the able Faculty, but we beg leave to say that to Prof. Arthur L. Wolfe, more than to any other man now living, is owing the missionary spirit indicated above. For many years he has devoted much time and attention to Mis- sion Study Classes.
The Platte School (which ranks as an Academy) at Edgerton, was established by Platte Presbytery (C. P.) and is under a Board of nine Trustees. Its high aim is "the promulgation of Christian learning." It has a large field from which to draw students, and is prosper- ing under its popular President, Rev. D. M. Boyer.
Of Richmond College, which flourished in the fifties, we have obtained no information in response to repeat- ed inquiries.
In Sept., 1863, Rev. W. O. H. Perry opened "The Stewartsville Male and Female Seminary," in a build- ing erected by Prof. A. E. Summers three years before. For three years he did all the teaching himself, after which additional teachers were required. The school had so grown in numbers and popularity that in the spring of 1879 it was chartered, with Mr. Perry as President, and the building was enlarged to more than double its former capacity. Soon after a dormitory for young men was erected, also a two-story building for young ladies, in which one of the professors lived and had oversight of those who roomed and boarded there. On the 5th of Nov., 1886, the main building (frame) was totally destroyed by fire. It was never rebuilt but the College work went on till the next Commencement, June, 1887.

All that is known of the Sugar-tree Grove Academy is found on page 6.
"Tarkio Valley College and Normal Institute" was organized, as a private institution, Aug. 30, 1883, and was chartered as Tarkio College, Jan. 31, 1885, under thirteen Directors, three of whom are chosen by the Board itself and ten by the Synods of Iowa and Nebras- ka. Rev. Samuel C. Marshall, D. D., organized the insti- tution and was President till failure of health compelled his resignation in June, 1887. Rev. J. A. Thompson, D. D., the present very popular and successful President, has served continuously since June, 1887.
The fact that the College is an institution of the United Presbyterian Church gives ample assurance of its positive Christian character and high aims. From the catalogue of 1907, we learn that forty-one of its graduates were then either preaching or studying theol- ogy, not including the following whose fields of mis- sionary labor are given below :

MINISTERIAL REGISTER.
This very incomplete ministerial register embraces not only members of the Platte Presbytery, but also others for whom we have the requisite data. Dr. John B. Hill's History of Kansas City Presbytery and Dr. Edgar S. Robinson's Ministerial Directory have been consulted and freely used.
In these brief ministerial sketches no notice has, in many cases, been taken of the distinction between pas- tor and stated supply. The permanent pastoral relation is certainly the ideal one and to be desired, but how- ever just the stigma resting upon the latter relation may be in the older sections of the country, it has no proper place in a newly settled region. And in many small churches, wherever they may be located, the per- sistent activity of one disgruntled individual ensures the speedy departure of the minister in charge. It is said that one active hornet can stampede a whole camp- meeting. Many a church has a hornet who becomes effectively active as soon as the pastoral relation is established, though otherwise likely to remain quiet for a season. Some of our wisest, most talented and consecrated pioneers never sought or accepted the posi- tion of installed pastor lest it might hinder their work. They preferred the position of missionary, or acting pastor. The Apostle Paul was probably never installed over a church. The pastoral relation is often termed "ecclesiastical marriage." The joint pastorate of two churches is too much like polygamy. It has serious drawbacks-so serious that its desirability in any case is questionable. If an ecclesiastical courtship of at least a year were the rule there would be fewer eccle- siastical divorces. Short pastorates are no credit to either party concerned. The ideal and incomparably vital relation of a minister to his church is that of Christian service.
