Présentation de l'éditeur

On the twenty-seventh of November, 1882, the people of Pilgrim Congregational Church, St. Louis, celebrated, by public exercises, the tenth, anniversary of their pastors work among them. Eev. Robert West, editor of the Advance at Chicago, took part in the services, and said to the pastor, on leaving: Write a series of articles for the Advance on How to Build a Church. It has been given you to see two churches built up widely apart: one in the conservative and solid East, and the other in the progressive and swiftly-moving West. I believe it will do good to tell in the Advance how it has been done. Mr. West had been for five years the successful superintendent of Home Missions in Missouri and the Southwest. He had often been present and helpful in the services of Pilgrim Church, and had received sympathy and aid in planting the waste places on his field. He desired it to appear, as an important principle, that churches everywhere, which had aided heartily, according to their ability, in building in the regions beyond, had in this way contributed much to their own temporal and spiritual welfare.
