A Minister'S Work and Pay.
At the recent meeting of the Congre-
gational Union, at Aberdeen, Dr. Alex
ander of Edinburgh, said:
| am ready without any beating a about
the bush, to say that we are all under
paid for what we do. [ was talking
lately with London business mana
successful merchant. It was about the
time bishops were getting made, and we
talked about their incomes. He said to
me, "And if it is a fair question what
do you get?" told him. "Well," he
answered, sis that all you get?" ''Yes;
and, compared with what many of my
brethren get, it is pretty fair. - "And
what do you do for that?'' I said |
would enIighten him upon this: "In
the first place, compose and write what
would be fully two pretty thick octave
volumes, a bout as much as any literary
man bending over his pen thinks of
doing, and more than some do, in year.
In the next place, | have to do as much |
speaking every week as lawyer at the
bar in good practice. Then, in the
third place, to do as much visiting as a
surgeon in average practice would do
And, in the next place, l think 1 write
as many letters as many of you great
merchants do" "Well," he said, sis
yours an extraordinary case?" I said,
mot at all; mans duties correspond
with his sphere, but many of my breth-
rem do as much, some of them perhaps
a little more" "Well," he said again,
they may say as much as they please :
about ministers getting to much for
their work, but none of us would do
half your work for four times your pay"
