In the next period, Dr. D. F. Schaeffer, of Frederick, Md. , and S. S. Schmucker, of New Market, Va. , appear. In 1805 the Ministerium of Pennsylvania issued an especial appeal to its congregations for provision for the increase of the ministry. This educational movement was originated by the development of what we now know as home missions. The Lancaster conference presented to the synod in 1 804 a plan for traveling missionaries, which was adopted. It had in view the twofold object of provid-... ing pastors for vacant parishes and of gathering the scat- tered and uncared-for people into congregations. With- in a few years much was accomplished. The names of J. G. Butler, whose erratic course in his earlier years had given Muhlenberg great trouble, ^ John Stauch (Stough), and Paul Henkel are eminent among these devoted mission- aries of the Ministerium of Pennsylvania. They covered a great extent of territory, westward far into Ohio, laying the foundations for the numerous Ohio synods of to-day, southwestward into the Holston region of Tennessee, and southv/ard through Virginia into North Carolina.
