MrNrsTERrAL SUPPORT.

Ifany man should be free from pecuniary cares and vexaiions, it should be the preach-. erofths gospel; for, in addition to the nu- merous cares which all flesh is born to en-. dure, as the sparks fly upward, he is to de- vote his entire tinns t0 tue cares and sor- rows of others. Is funeral to be attend.- edl He must drop avery thing and pre-, pare 10 obey the call for his services. Ts a marriage ceremony to be performed A gain he must cease to attend to his own bu- siness, and prepare to niagls with joyous ness in the happy circle. Are the sick to be visitedl He mus, leave liis own Sc:::ssas SScc::sa and minister to the wonnded spirit and dis- eased H,::5. And how caa he do this as it should bs performed ! how can he feel the mourncr's griefs, when his Osca cares fill his mind to ovcraowing [ How can he rejoice with ihe gIad-hearied, when he feels that coming winter is unprovided for, and his own children need food and covering suit able for ihem7 How can he enter into the. feelings of tho languishing and dying, 90 as, really to minister to their fears and sofrows,. when his own Eise up before him in tho pressing cares of lifeS Yea, how can lie ever preach to lis aock towe no man any thing, but love one another,' when before his aaiad'a eye. the bakers, butcher's, tai- lor's, shoe-maker's and merchants bills cover the face his sermon in coDfra-dis- tincti0n to his argumonts-and before the eye of his body, sit all those very men, to- hear his prscepts contradict his daily prac- tce
 It follows, then, that minister's support should be both ample and sure. Ample enough io eDable him to represent the be- nefcence of his society in his attentions to the poor. and the hospitality of his society in his entertainment ofihe travelling broth- CT. And certainly enough to raise him a. bQye want and neglect of his duties, On the one hand, or dependence and seryility on the other. A salary fully equal to this, should be paid by every society, for its own good.-ibid.
