LETTERS FROM TJ1E PEOPLE.
Tbe
Itinerancy of tbe
Cboreb.
Hetbodlat
EDrrons Appeal The editorial in tho
Appeal of yesterday, upon the itinerancy of
the Methodist church, was in good taste and
a fair presentation ot tho question; but there
are cogent reasons against any substantial
change of this system, that will be apparent
upon reflection. It might be sufficient to say
that the policy of itinerancy is right because
it is based upon the sanction, if not the posi
tive direction of the New Testament. The
apostles' mode of preaching by itinerancy,
from one section to another and from one
country to another, would at least indicate
that tbe apostles believed it to be the most
successful way of spreading the gospel. But,
as a mere matter of policy, what has been the
result? Ha9 it effected more good in a shorter
time than anv other system? Ihe latest sta
tistics of the Methodist church in all of its
branches in this country, north and south,
show a membership of very little less than
three and one-half million. Ihe organi
zation of the church has not been
very much longer than a century and
a Quarter. Compare thia with other organi
zations that have a permanent pastorate and
see the ditlerence. We are tafeing tor grant
ed that the doctrines, forms and ceremonies
of the different churches are equally good
We are testing a pastorate system. There
are personal objections, we grant, that can
be urged against this system, and could be
against any other; but the question is the
greatest good to the greatest number. Larce,
wealthy congregations can build splendid
houses of worship, employ learned and elo
quent preachers, and make their Sabbath
worship pleasant and agreeable to themselves
and families. But, is not the good they do
circumscribed and limited? Is not the bene
fit confined to the few? These churches are
generally limited to a few members, and
rarely grow beyond a fixed point. Should it
not be the prime object of all churches to ex
tend their numbers and to increase their in
fluence? And to whom should it extend?
Only to those who can pay large salaries and
support expensive churches? If we are to
be bible christians the leading object of
church extension should be to give the bible
to the poor. Can this be done so effectually
as by an itinerant system t a sys
tem that sends the best and ablest
preachers to the cities and to the country, to
the mountains and the valleys. It must be
borne in mind that we are not consulting the
ccmibrt and ease of the minister, but are
seeking the greatest good to tbe greatest
number. We take it for granted that he is
culled of God to his work and voluntarily as
sumes a place in the itinerant ranks, it is
said, however, that the hardship he endures
frequently drives the Methodist minister
from his own church to some other. No mat
ter what may be the reason, the fact is that
some of them after a while seek other
churches, and and many cf them aro good
and true men. But it is another tact prov
able by the statistics of the Methodist church,
that she gains more from other churches
than she loses. It is not the itinerant sys
tern which drives them from the church, ex
cept in rare instances, but other reasons that
1 do not propose now to investigate, liut it
is said that the preacher, having no home,
rarely accumulates a competency for his
family. Admit it; and is this not a stronger
argument against his money-making than
against his usefulness as a snccesful preacher
of the gospel? But the fact ia that,
connected with this system there is
another feature indispensable to it
which the church cherishes as a part of it
tbo collection annually of a fund for worn
out preachers, their widows and orphans.
But is it true that Methodist preachers aro
poorer than preachers of other churches? Do
any of them get more than a support? The
statistics by the government for 1870 show
that the ministers of tbe Methodist church
average, as to their salaries, with thoe of
any other church. If the Methodist itiner
ant needed anything to sustain him in his
high calling, from a worldly stand-point,
I Lhii k these facta are sufficient. But tho
point is, the greatest good to the greatest
number. In the Northern Methodist church
the term cf tha preacher can be extended to
three years, in the Southc-in church to four
years. But it must be remembered that no
preacher is sent for a longer term than one
year; he may be continued to the full limit.
There is an important feature in this, and I
think valuable to the system. If the people
and the pr.acher do nct suit each other, the
removal is according to law there is no fric
tion, no bad feeling the connection enda
peacefully acd quietly. How is it with a
permanent pastorate i If it 13 necessary to end
the relationship between pastor and people,
for any reason, is it not frequently
tbe case that there is much friction,
and sometimes very hard feeling. Tho
Methodist preacher in a life-time travels from
one end of bis conference to the other. His
varied gifts and graces reach many hearts
and minds; the seed will fall upon good
ground. The local pastor, month after
month, and year after yaar, ministers to the
same people; no change, no variety. Take
Ihe cases of the Drs. Landrum, White and
Boggs, three of the beet and most eminent
ministers in the city. In twenty years each
will preach perhaps to twenty thousand differ
ent people. The lamented Dr. blater in the
same time will perhaps have been listened to
by one hundred thousand different people.
Should all four have been equal inability and
piety, would not the advantage be in favor of
Dr. Slater for spreading the gospel? These
instances are t taken for illustration
and not for invidious comparison. Perhap3,
in large cities, a permanent pastorate may
bay some gdrantarrej, pi ria La laoye
pleasant to t lid individual members of those
churched But the idea of the greatest good
to the greatest number will embrace every
section of the country and every condition ot
society the rich, the poor, the wise, and the
illiterate. The blessings cf re!;:cn etebd
alike to each." The itinerant system should
rot be changed; it maybe mada more or less
flexible to suit the necessities of the country.

ANOTHER RAILROAD PROJECT.
The aiemphttj. Fort Scott and Colorado
Railroad.
Editors Appeal I hand you herewith
tbe Fort Scott Herald, of November 21st, con
taining articles relative to the Memphis, Fort
Scott and Colorado railroad. This question
is being thoroughly canvassed here. The
discrimination against thia county by tbe
powerful companies owning the roads that
now move the produce of this vast graia
growing county make these people exceed
ingly auxious tor direct communication with
Memphis. And there are considerations
which should excite Memphis to bestir her
self in this matter, and that at once. Tbe
Missouri River, Fort Scott and Gulf railroad
is now proposing an extension of its line
from this point to Van Buren, connecting
with the Little Rock and Fort Smith road.
This is looked upon here as only a move
in favor of Chicago. You can see
tha necessity for Memphis to
move in this matter. Examine your
geogrophical positioL and you can see at once
the force of these suggestions. Let this con
nection be made and it directs the trade of
northwestern Arkansas from you, and if this
roed is built as far aa Van Buren it will be
continued to Texas, thus cutting off that
trade. The proposition is to build a narrow
gauge road by way of Springfield, Missouri,
and Jackson port, Arkansas, to Memphis, thus
making a direct line, and passing through a
country whose local trade will make the road
a paying investment. But the largest item
in favor of Memphis is the grain trade that
it will bring there. This route will take the
Kansas and western Missouri grain to Mem
phis, because it will be the shortest way to a
water-way. I give you these items, and hope
it may not be long before Memphis will be
connected with this great field. Truly yours,
M. L. brown.
Fort Scott (Kans.) Herald: "The Herald
has heretofore taken occasion to lay before
the people of Bourbon county the reasonable
objections to the voting of bonds in aid of
the Memphis railroad. If the same circum
stances existed to-day as three months ago,
we should feel it our duty to continue to ob
ject to the voting of bonds. Recent develop
ments in regard to our shipping facilities
from Fort Szott warn us that our city and
county are at the mercy of corporations that
choose to be the enemies of our interests as a
people. It is our duty to protect ourselves
at any reasonable cost, and it in, therefore,
eminently proper that we look at the facts,
and weigh the considerations in iavor cf go
ing further in debt to secure a ri st dedrable
thing. In another column we print a com
munication from Dr. Sunderlin on the sub
ject, in which are set forth the various in
ducements for the new road. The communi
cation is worthy of a careful study. In addi
tion to his points, there arises the potent
question : 'Can we afford to vote the bonds ?'
The answer can be tersely made: 'We can
afford almost anything that will materially
improve our condition and prospects.' If
this road shall bo earned forward in good
faith, it will do for us all that Dr. Sunder
lin says it will and more. A moating was
held in the operahouse, on Saturday evening,
to discuss the Memphis, Fort Scott and Colo
rado railroad project. An expression of opin
ion in favor of the road was made by Colonel
Wilson, Dr. Sanger, Judge Waters, Isaac
Stadden, and others. It was shown that the
construction of this road is a vital necessity to
this locality. So far as railroad facilities are
concerned, tbe present roads we have are
practically valueless to the people of Bourbon
county, and especially to the city of Fort
Scott. In the matter of freights, both ways,
the discrimination against our local interests
is pronounced. The roads have treated us
with bad faith continually, and our only de
fense azainst them is to have the new road.
This being the case, it becomes the duty of
all citizens to look carefully into the advan
tages to be derived from the proposed Mem
phis road. Our business men and farmers
are especially qualified by experience to tes
tify to the extreme dullness of everything.
Business is at a complete standstill. Fort
Scott possesses the location necessary to mako
a city of splendid wholesale and manufac
turing importance. Our merchants and man
ufacturers are already shipping supplies
to all points within a hundred miles
north, and three hundred miles toward the
other points of the compass. With this new
road our commerce, agricultural and mechan
ical products, wi'.l be pushed southeast, and
directly west to the Rocky mountains, com
pleting our importance as .a great center of
trade. Let t;ny man look the ground ovr
and he will bo enabled to readily see the
truth of thia assertion. . It has heretofore
been 6hown how the new road will benefit
our country in the way of increased prices of
of produce and coal; and decreased prices of
lumber, semi-tropical products, etc. It is
hardly necessaiy to enter into a discussion of
the utility of the proposed road. The ques
tion for our tax-payera is, can they afford to
vote bonds to secure it? If they think they
caa, let them at once decide and put tbe en
terprise into shape. The men who propose
to' construct the read are ready to proceed
with the work at once, and let i,e question
be settled ono way or the other. The r iad wi 1
be a great advantage, and if it thall be built
Ihere will be a new impetus to tho business
of the city nnd, coyuty.". j

G entlemen of the Old Folks Societt
It is with sincere pleasure greet you at thif,
our first monthly meeting, after so loug and
painful a stpaiahon a pleasure, however,
mingled with unfeigned sorrow and ta Inesj.
When we lot met we expected, with our
families, in a few weeks, to join in the fes
tivities of our annual reunion, which. I am
sure, all of us looked forwar.l to with bright
anticipations of happioess and social er j oy
ment. Al;is! tow heart-rending aud sad the
change! lot-toad of joyful and happy hours,
the shadow cf death ucd the gloom of the
grave spread over our devoted city and the
dread plague relentlessly claimed lor its vic
tims ten cf our number. Brothers J. G.
Lonsdale, sr., our fiithful treasurer;
his son, W. J. B. Lonsdale, our zealous
secretary; Cbas. Kortrecht, our chesa
orator; Chas. Erich, Vincent B icigalupo. T.
W. Hoist, Wm. Miller, C. D Steinsuhl, Jno.
P. Trezevant and Jas. C. Ward are numbered
with the dead. They will meet with us no
more on earth. We all deeply mourn their
loss and truly sympathize with their afflicted
and grief-stricken families. The loss of com
panions and friends, indeed fills the heaits of
the young with sorrow ncd sadness; but to
those whose whitt-ned locks and gathered
years indicate the sbady side of life, it is far
more dreadful. The young soon find iu other
friends solace and comfort, but those in ad
vanced life rarely make new friends. Time
can never restore the broken links that crush
the heart of the aged. No new ties can bind
them as did those that are severed; no other
friends can cheer them as did those that are
gone; but, thank God, they can look forward
to a glad and joyous meeting beyond the dark
river. Let, then, the virtues and excellen
cies of the departed ever be embalmed in our
memories, and let those of us who, by the
mercy of God, are still spared, dins; together
with a more devoted friendship and a warmt-r
affection, cheered by tbe hope that vse may
ere long meet our departed brethren in a
brighter and better land.
