The permission to publish the extracts from an elders diary contained in this volume was given by a competent authority, at the request of the present editor, to whom the privilege of reading the original manuscript had been accorded. The request was made in the hope that a record of the actual labors, trials and experiences of one bearing the important office of ruling elder in the Presbyterian Church, interspersed with illustrative incidents, might be serviceable to this branch of the Christian ministry. Treatises and manuals, proposing to throw light upon the spirit and manner in which the functions of the eldership should be discharged, have been numerous of late.
