Excerpt from The Ruling Elder at Work
We have many excellent books on the office of the Ruling Elder. It has been shown to be a divine ordinance in every dispensation of the church of God, and an essential part of the Form of Govern ment taught in the Old and New Testaments. The nature of this office, its dignity, importance, respon sibilities and rewards; the manner and spirit in which its duties are to be performed trial_s_and encouragements; and Wherein it din'ers from the other permanent offices of the church, have been carefully set forth. My experience, however, as Pastor and Teacher, has convinced me, that both in our Seminaries and congregations, instruction in church polity should be practical as well as theo retical. Our students feel this, when they enter upon the active duties of the ministry. 1 am not surprised that Ruling Elders also are desiring instruction, in a practical form, concerning their office and duties.
