garded, his word mocked, his Sabbath desecrated. Shall we do so again? If so. he will laugh at your calamity, and mock when your fear cometh again. Be not high- minded, but fear. "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." " Behold the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom ; and to depart from evil, that is under. standing." Let us hold torth the word of life, stand up for the truth, exemplify the truth in our lives ; and seek the blessing of God upon ourselves, our home-, our city, our country, our whole country. As did JJoshua, so let cach for himself resolve : " .L .- for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Oh, what a happy city, what a prosper- ous country, it every family " was a household of faith," as was Joshna's.
A closing word: We can not call back the dead. But there are two things we have been taught :
1. To cultivate a sympathetic, helping disposition toward all men, especially the humble and the needy. Yesterday a widow, not of my flock, sent for me. She said : " I wanted to talk to one who had suffered ; I, therefore, sent for you." In this way, my fellow sufferers, you may find compensation for the things you have suffered.
2. These bereavements weaken the ties of earth. We are the more easily attracted toward heaven. When all the cords are out the balloon rises above the clouds that shut out the sunlight. So when affliction has severed the natural bonds that bind us to this life, our spiritual desires increase; our tendency is more and muore heavenward : our purposes more and more single to the glory of God; and, finally, by an lh-cell process, we are brought to the consecrated faith of Paul: "I am erucitied with Chri-t: nevertheless, I live : vet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave him-eli for me." It is sweet to go home with the consciousness of duty done. It is sweeter far to contemplate the home beyond the skies, to anticipate the joys of the blessed. to enjoy a foretaste of the rest that remains for the people of God. Then the reunion there! Heaven is not a world of strangers. We shall sit down at our Elder Brother's table with the loved ones who have gone before-gone only for a short while before. They wait our coming. They beckon us onward, upward. Let us follow on, patiently. unmurmuringly, cheerfully, thankfully ouward. "We shall have larger capacities there ; more knowledge, more love, more happiness there; no uncongenial spirit, there; no plagne, no pestilence there. The grave, on this side, is death ; on the other side. birth to an immortal existence. "For God hath not. appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, that, whether we wake or After prayer, and the singing of the hymn, " In the Sweet By-aud-By," the benedic- tion was pronounced. DR. LANDRUM ON PASTORS AND EPIDEMICS. Editor Reflector .- I sce that in several papers there are articles on the relation of ministers to epidemics. I think it would be better to narrow the question to the real issue; the relation of pastors to epidemics. I think it is true that most of the corre- spondents on this subject are inexperienced, never having been in real yellow fever epi- demics. Some things affirmed sound strangely to those who have borne the heat and burden of the day. For instance, that a minister is reduced to a mere nurse, and that any hireling can do as well as he can. This is wonderful to me! My experience is that in the matter of nursing, the intelligence and sympathy of a pastor is worth, to the sick and their families, more than forty nurses. There are not assemblies of congreg :- tions in epidemies, bat there is no want of opportunities for preaching. Jesus preached to one woman at the well in Samaria, and he wept with two sister- at the grave of Laz- arus. There are hourly openings in the time of pestilence for following the Savior in this work. I am sure I have never had more reason to believe that I accomplished -) tauch work effective gospel work, in the same length of time as during the fever of ls; . If one wanted a congregation the camps Joe Williains and Wright were open every day APPENDIX. 143 a 444 with six or eight hundred people to the herald of the cross. It is a great mistake to hold that there is no place for a minister's special work in such a time, and that for this reason he may go away. Then, for the pastor's own flock there is no one in the world so much needed. If his people ever need him it is in time of trouble. Nothing so quiets and encourages the sick as the presence of a trusted and loved pastor. It is not true that all the members of a church go away, and that on this account the pastor may Hee also. We can not depopulate a city in this country. To do so you need a gov- ernment that can make provision for all the people elsewhere, and then possessing power to compel all to leave, while the government protect the property of burns it up. Russia can do this, but the United States can not, except partially. The colored popu- lation, and many others, will not leave the city. If the pastor's flock left here, how is it that the churches have reported from ten to fifty of their members victims of yellow fever? The special charities sent to ministers, who remained, enabled them to keep their members, and those of absentee pastor, also, from a burial in the potter's tiekl. and to support or to send to their friends many widows and orphans during the present winter. Had all lett, this work could not have been done. The outside world did not commit their charities to the absent pastors, but to those who remained with the af- flicted of the city. There is no fixed rule in the matter of a minister's leaving. There are ministers who are not pastors; there are editor-, business men, or teachers, they can go. There are crerptional cases among pastors, as where a family is in such a condition that they can not remain, and the husband is obliged to be with them. The general rule, however, is that pastors must remain with their people in epidemics. This should be consid- ered in becoming a pastor. If the Master would not shun the cross, nor the apostles martyrdom for the cause of Christianity, their followers should not run from danger. To do so results in great loss of influence and respect. They are representatives of re- ligion, and when they flee the cause of Christ suffers. We preach much about our pro- tection under God, and the blessedness of heaven. Let hot our conduct defeat our teaching. On all sides let there be charity, so that we may walk together in peace and helpfulness. The statement has gone abroad that Protestants did not volunteer to take the places of those who fell in the yellow fever in this city and elsewhere. I remember well that Bro. A. D. Phillips proposed coming, and he has expressed regret that I did not accein his offer. Also two ministerial students at Mossy Creek College wrote, asking me to accept their services. I am sure that if I had consented, they would have come at once. I have not their names by me, but I wish to keep them in remembrance. March 26, 1879. S. LANDRUM. INDEX. (445) = 446 29 INDEX.
