Excerpt from An Earnest Appeal to the Free Church of Scotland on the Subjects of Its Economics
The Board of Publication believe that they are performing an important service for the Presbyterian Church in re-publishing this pamphlet. The topics Dr. Chalmers here discusses with his characteristic ability and energy, are, mutatis mutandis, of no less moment to our Church than they are to the Free Church of Scotland. This will be sufficiently evident to every candid reader of the able and interesting Introduction prefixed to the present edition.
A copy of the pamphlet will be sent, through the liberality of a friend, to each of the ministers in our connexion. The Board are unwilling to believe that such seed is to be scattered through the Church in vain. They are convinced that the subjects here presented, demand the most serious attention of our ministers and people, and that they should be discussed until some measures shall he devised and adopted at once to augment the liberality, zeal, and efficiency of our Church, and to promote the comfort and usefulness of her ministers.
The management of the Economics of the Church is vested in its Judicatories. With their functions this Board has no wish to interfere. It is not its province even to suggest specific modifications of existing plans.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses management and economics of the Free Church of Scotland, discussing their funding, committees, distribution of funds, and the different schemes and objects of the church. Centered around the idea that each person and community should meet their own needs as much as possible, this text explores how the members of the Free Church of Scotland should support their church. The author makes a firm case that the perfect unity of the church does not imply uniformity, but that all can be united though all are not alike. The Free Church of Scotland was formed in 1843, with the author, Thomas Chalmers, playing a major role in its creation. An important and influential figure in his day, the book shares Chalmers' extensive experience and the principles he lived by as a devout Christian with a strong sense of duty to the poor.
