DONATION TO Rev. GEO. SEVERANCE.
The friends of Rev. Mr.. Severance
assembled at the academy building IN
Glover, on last Wednesday evening,
and gave him the very handsome sum
of 1920. There were about 200 per-
sons present of various ages and 81
yes and all had happy, jubilant time.
Oysters were furnished. Some may
think that the gift Of so large a sum
would induce a minister to believe
himself the most favored Of men, but
it must be remembered that only a
small per centage Of the ministers III
the county have had their salaries raj
sed from the old standard before the
present existing high prices, and these
donations only help exc out otherwise
insufficient salaries. Every denomi
nation pays its pastor far too little
The salary Of the smallest (intellectu-
ally minister III the county should not
be less than $1,000; there is no dan
ger Of our paying so much as to make
them proud. Their salaries should be
sufficient to keep them without any
riffs whatever: "the laborer is worthy
Of his hire, and this is as true OF The
laborer in the vineyard of the Lord
as Of those who toni with their hands
Let Us not make martyrs of the clergy
by starving them; let us rather CHOKE
them with greenbacks.
