This order was later changed, and all offer- ings are sent to the State Board of Managers. This concentrates the work and makes it more effective.
Under this plan the results have been grati- fying. In seventeen years-1900 to 1917-exactly one hundred churches received assistance, includ- ing twenty that were yet mission churches at the end of the period named. These hundred churches have a membership of eighteen thou- sand, hold church property valued at $750,000, and are now themselves contributing to missions $12,000 per year. The new plan has met the changed conditions successfully.
The secret of success in planting the cause in the cities that have become so numerous in Ohio, is to give such strong support that the work may be pushed vigorously from the first. This course inspires confidence in the public mind and gives the new work a great advantage. The plan of placing all funds in the hands of the State Board of Managers has made such a course possible.
EVANGELISTIC WORK
The preaching of the gospel is the prime pur- pose of the Ohio Christian Missionary Society. In addition to supporting the preaching of the gospel by ministers stationed in mission
266
DISCIPLES OF CHRIST IN OHIO
churches, the society has always laid stress on evangelism. Walter Scott, under the employ of the Mahoning Association, did a wonderful work at the psychological moment before the present society was organized.
In the earlier days, among men who served in that capacity, were Benjamin Franklin, Har- rison Jones, Knowles Shaw, O. A. Burgess, L. L. Carpenter, W. A. Belding, Wm. Dowling, A. Burns, J. W. Lanphear, Lathrop Cooley, J. J. Moss, A. B. Green, Wm. Hayden and many others. The number of able workmen, good and true, sent out through the district boards of the State Society are too many to name, and the sys- tem of records under that plan did not provide for preserving the names.
Since 1900 the men who have served as evan- gelists for more than a single meeting are : Allan Wilson, Robert Moffett, O. L. Cook, D. W. Besaw, John E. Pounds, G. F. Crites, Bowman Hostetler, C. A. Kleeberger, G. A. Ragan, Percy H. Wilson, J. O. Shelburne, J. G. Slayter, M. B. Ryan, S. H. Bartlett, H. Newton Miller, I. J. Cahill, T. J. White, L. I. Mercer, C. N. Williams, Traverce Harrison, C. A. MacDonald, W. H. Boden. Other men held each a single meeting, and many pastors of the State held "volunteer" meetings under direction of the State Society.
In pioneer days a single evangelistic meeting sufficed to establish a self-supporting church. In these days of higher standards it requires more to constitute a self-supporting church. Besides, the fixed conditions of an old community do not allow as speedy results as when communities were new. The evangelistic work continues to be fruitful.
267
A HISTORY OF THE
In 1902 the Marietta church-house was wrecked by a cyclone. Through the influence of the O. C. M. S., the church received generous and timely help from the churches of the State.
In March, 1913, the State was visited by an unprecedented calamity. A great storm swept over the whole State, bringing a devastating flood that wrought tremendous destruction in the valleys of the Muskingum, the Scioto, the Miami and the Ohio. Official returns showed a loss of 460 lives in the State; 4,200 homes were de- stroyed and 40,500 people rendered homeless.
In the awful devastation and loss disciples were heavy sufferers. Three churches were totally destroyed. Scores suffered heavily. The O. C. M. S. received over $7,000 for the relief of the flooded churches. This amount was dis- tributed among seventeen of those most heavily afflicted. Every year churches are guided through serious problems of indebtedness or strife or scandal.
The very existence of such an agency as the State Society is a source of strength to the work everywhere in the State. When the flood came there was an agency ready to hand to call for help and convey it to the place of need. The calamity wrought far less injury to the churches because there was a tried and trusted means to carry the needed help.
PERMANENT FUNDS
An important feature of the work of the mis- sionary society is the accumulation of funds, the income of which is devoted to the work. Such funds are a bulwark of strength. The society now has in trust:

The Ohio Society has fostered the work of the American Christian Missionary Society, the Foreign Christian Missionary Society, the Chris- tian Woman's Board of Missions, and the Sun- day-school work of the society stimulates the life of all the schools. They receive strength from this ministry. and, in turn, they minister through all the missionary and benevolent agencies.
The society statistics aggregate 214,610 days of service; 126,720 sermons; accessions, 56,427; churches organized, 353; money disbursed, $725,- 949.09; cost of each accession, $12.
OBJECTIONS
Objections have been made by individuals and churches to co-operative work in evangelizing, or society work. The answer was, "Let there be light." Newspaper opposition to co-operation does not always reflect the feelings of the masses. When the opposition of this character appeared, articles were written furnishing Scriptural argu- ments for co-operation and bristling with the facts of the present times and missions and evan- gelistic work. This has done much toward over- coming the objection.
Then, it was constantly declared that no society or co-operation has any ecclesiastical authority. It was affirmed that such associations are voluntary and have but one object, and that
269
A HISTORY OF THE
is to give wings to the gospel in harmony with the commission in which Christ says: "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every crea- ture." The objectors who hang back and stay at home are not in line with Christ's spirit and teaching, and are in the unscriptural way and should change their attitude. Sister Lhamon said: "The way that hangs back and says 'I won't go this way,' and 'I won't go that way,' and does not go at all, is the most unscriptural thing under heaven."
One way to silence objectors to society work was to ask them to systematically, conscientiously and perseveringly prosecute some way they have that will do the work. We will not oppose you, but bid you Godspeed. The world is perishing, and by all Scriptural and expedient means we must go and save them from sinning and thus save ourselves.
Objections have mostly disappeared.
THE OHIO PAPER
For at least thirty years the O. C. M. S. has published a monthly paper, a kind of necessity for communicating with the churches. For ten years. it was called the Ohio Standard, then the Harbinger; now it is called Ohio Work. This paper emphasizes the home missionary and Sun- day-school work. Churches planted in Ohio mean more contributions for other lands. Each number of the Ohio paper contains church news, facts as to the progress of the cause and incen- tives to faithfulness and diligence in serving the Lord. Many people in Ohio are practically as unreached by the gospel as are the pagans of Africa. They do not come to the churches and

the churches do not go to them. There is close contiguity, but no real contact. These people are perishing at our door. Shall Christian people stand rigid, frigid statues and onlookers, caring nothing for the unsaved? So wrote the Ohio paper, and a noble Christian woman emphasized this home work as follows :
THE WORK AT THE DOOR.
MATTIE M. BOTELER.
Far back from the ages departed, There cometh a message anew, And these are the words, O my brother, That Jesus is saying to you: "While workers are fainting around you, Stand careless and idle no more; Lift up your eyes to the harvest That lieth in front of your door."
Though small seems our strength for the labor, Though little of worth is our mite, The least that we do for His service Can never be lost in His sight; For the Father above, on his children, Unmeasured his blessings will pour, Who take up the work uncomplaining, That lieth in front of the door.
We may send out the news of salvation To the nations in darkness and sin; We may go to the uttermost places And gather the straying ones in; But God is not pleased with our labors, Though bravely the burden we bore, While the field that is ripened to harvest Lies neglected in front of our door.
Though we know not the scope of our labors, We may snatch from the burning some brand By faithfully, earnestly doing The duty that lieth at hand; And the gospel we love may be carried By him to some far-distant shore, Because we've been true to the duty That lieth in front of our door.
272
DISCIPLES OF CHRIST IN OHIO
To the church the commission was given That all nations be bidden to come, But those who will carry the message Must be given the gospel at home: And the sooner His glory will reach them, Who sat in the darkness before, If we faithfully gather the harvest That lieth in front of our door.
Another wrote: "As patriots, disciples of Christ in Ohio should do more evangelistic work. Paul had a dispensation of the gospel of Christ, but he did not forget Israel. The love of drink, the love of money, the love of worldly pleasure, should not be the dominating ideas in our Ohio civ- ilization. The people must be educated and Chris- tianized. Philanthropy needs to rise above self- gratification, and plan for purity and intelligence in our homes. Christ lived and died for others. When the disciple acts Christlike there will come exhilaration of joy, and activities becoming the patriot and philanthropist and Christian.

XXX ANNALS OF THE O. C. M. S. 1815-R. R. SLOAN-1877
THE Ohio Christian Missionary Society was organized in 1852. R. R. Sloan was present from Mt. Vernon, O. He came to Mt. Vernon in 1844. For six years after his advent there was no church of disciples at Mt. Vernon. He had been reared in the New Testament order of teaching in western Pennsylvania, where was his place of birth. During the six years he was a member of the church at Jelloway. Through his influence, J. H. Jones was secured as evangelist, and on the 31st day of January, 1850, the church at Mt. Vernon was organized with R. R. Sloan as over- seer. He lived in Mt. Vernon twenty-two years and moved to Cleveland in 1866.
He was one of the forty-one delegates of churches that, in Wooster, in 1852, organized the Ohio Christian Missionary Society. He was on the committee of five to propose a constitution. He was also made one of the Board of Managers. From that time to his death he held an official position in the organization. He was elected corresponding secretary in 1861. Previous to this time no one had been found who could give his entire time and talents to the work of the society. "For eight years," says Isaac Errett, "this faithful pilot stood at the wheel in all weathers, at all seasons, holding the vessel
275
A HISTORY OF THE
steadily against adverse winds, beating up · against wind and tides and steering through difficulties and perilous places with sleepless vigilance and excellent skill. When he could be spared from the helm, he was found tugging at the oars. He was captain, mate, steward, cabin- boy and sailor all the time-drilling the crew, laying in provisions, keeping the log-book, in- specting the stores, and making the reckonings. Under God, this society owes more to his un- yielding patience, unconquerable purpose and untiring industry, for its success, than to any other man." At the time he took the work some of the churches had preaching twice, some once a month; some had a "meeting of days" once a year. Some so-called churches were but names, answering no useful purpose known to God or man. Perhaps there were only three in the State that had constant pastoral labor. The hour had come for an organizing mind that could devise methods, direct large operations, and educe order and system out of the reigning chaos. In giving counsel to the brethren, in looking up preachers for churches and churches for preachers, in stim- ulating home enterprise, in arranging meetings, his services were valuable. His distinctive work was to extend the district missionary organiza- tions, and in all ways to give unity, continuity and universality to our work. He had the courage and patience to labor for organization needed for the future as well as for immediate results.
He met with opposition, but he ably defended his work. He was a living epistle to all Ohio disciples. He had the physical and mental capac- ity for an immense amount of work. He pushed

his work with unyielding faithfulness, sometimes patiently plodding, sometimes energetically driv- ing, but always busy, always cheerful. He worked so noiselessly that he almost seemed to be a man of leisure! He seemed never to grow discouraged or to lose hope. His longsuffering was the salvation of many an enterprise which he had in hand. Some one has said that his most serious faults and troubles originated in his goodness.
During the time of Bro. Sloan's residence in Mt. Vernon he was intimately identified with the educational, moral and religious interests of the town. He taught a boys' school and Mrs. Sloan taught girls in her own home. In 1852 the male academy disappeared and the Female Institute stands alone. Later the institute changed into the Mt. Vernon Female Seminary. This was Bro. Sloan's greatest service, with the exception of his missionary work. The seminary, as a place of Christian education, paid back many- fold the capital put into it. The wives and daughters of many disciples in Ohio called the school a success. Faithful work done for our fellow-men, like love from which it springs, is never lost. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Those who give, at least get the bless- ing. "Talk not of wasted affection, affection never was wasted. If it enriches not the heart of another, its waters returning back to their springs, like the rain, shall fill them full of re- freshment: that which the fountain sends forth returns again to the fountain."
When Bro. Sloan was called away to meet the heavenlies he was president of the Ohio Chris- tian Missionary Society.

ROBERT MOFFETT
Robert Moffett was the second great corre- sponding secretary of the Ohio Christian Mis- sionary Society, commencing at the close of R. R. Sloan's term of office. His first term of ser- vice began in 1867 and continued to 1884 (fifteen years). The following statement of his work, in the main, was made when he voluntarily gave the work into other hands :
"These years have been years of sacrifice in ways which a preacher who wishes to keep abreast of the times, and increase his pulpit abil- ity, well understands. It has been a sacrifice to his family, who have needed so much of his pres- ence and counsel. He has served under the promptings of duty to the church at large and to the cause of missions, which has ever been dear to his heart. His services for the society have intensified his love for it. During his ser- vice in Ohio, work has touched on every side of
Christian enterprise. Through all the drudgery of clerical work, at his desk and in the field; through all the responsible exercises of conven- tions and public assemblies; through the delicate and harassing investigations of church troubles; and through the anxieties which drive sleep into the wee hours of the night-through fifteen years of such a multitude of cares he has passed in much feebleness, but he trusts with recognized faithfulness. His reward is in whatever good may have been accomplished. Year by year he has put into lists and tables the churches visited, organized and fostered, the meetings held, the number of converts gained, the amount of money raised and disbursed as the visible fruitage of
279
A HISTORY OF THE
the society's work. But how many churches have been saved from wreck; how many new converts became, in time, pillars in the church; how many Christians saved from ruin; how many hearts comforted; how many feeble knees strengthened; how many holy aspirations enkindled; how many little fountains opened, which have become, in time, the wide and beautiful rivers of blessing and peace-these are chronicled only in heaven, and will be reported at the final convention of all the saints."
Perhaps no person among the disciples of Christ did more for organized missionary work than Robert Moffett. He co-operated with the
American Christian Missionary Society and helped fight its battles. He was corresponding secretary of that society for several years. He sympathized with the Foreign Christian Mission- ary Society and helped it to the right of way in the Ohio churches and Sunday schools. He was a helping friend to the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, and all the enterprises of the churches of Christ. As an eloquent speaker he was surpassed by few, if equaled by any. After eleven years' interim, he was again elected sec- retary of the O. C. M. S. and served four years.
