Excerpt from A Hand-Book for Ruling Elders HE writer of this little treatise was ap pointed by Enoree Presbytery to prepare a manual for the use of ruling elders. The need for such a work was very apparent. Many of the churches held religious services only once a month, and several of them were vacant. Special demands were made upon the elders, and it was evident that the prosperity of these churches depended largely upon their fidelity. It was felt that a clearer and more enlarged conception of the office and duties of the elder was needed both by the members of the churches and the elders themselves. It was thought that a hand-book containing not only instruction, but also some optional forms and practical suggestions would be of great service. Several manuals have been pre pared for ministers, to assist them in the dis charge of their ministerial duties, and have proved helpful. Why should not our elders have something corresponding to aid them in the performance of their duties? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
