PAsToR's SALARIEs.-Thinking over the
matter of Pastors salaries we have arrived
at the following conclusions Few city pas
tors receive as liberal a salary as principal
in a wholesale house, or as hrst-
class clerks or cashiers. Fewer still are e2-
pected to receive the income of the well-to-
do lawyer or physician, to say nothing Of
the merchant. Now is this right? Do
business men consider it fair Do the men of
the world who know the cost of living in
these times in the cities, realize the ten
denotes 10 embarrassmenttha that surround the
minister ? He may not complain yet his
aVprehensions Of finance "narrows' may be
a constant source of annoyance TO his mind.
He would preach with power in proportion
to his freedom from debt. In the village, g
pastor seldom receives as much as an en-
gineer on the locomotive, the foreman in a
saw-mill, or the boss In Il carpenter shop.
And yet, preacher and pious as he is, he
must cat and dress, and keep his family
alive and clad. He must dress ever gem
teelly, he must ever have extras for his ia
be al hand at a moments warning, as the
ministers table is q sort Of public feeding
place for pious folks who get hungry away
from home he must be well supplied with
books and papers he must have little
moneys for distressed solicitors who visit
him almost daily, or else be called hypo-
critical, and stlngy, and unfeelins he must
be ready to speak and write and talk on all
occasions, and furnish his OWE capital and
travelling expenses. How can he do all
this without q liberal salary? A narrow,
mean policy has driven many a man from
the pulpit into secular life, and hindered
many a bright and promising mind from
entering the sacred profession. One-tenth
Of the unnoticed wastiass and I~uzuries Of
any congregation, added to the ministers sal
airy, would not only make him happy and
free, but lift him from any necessity OF be-
coming the victim of donations. A minis
ter should be compensated for his time and
toll and talent Just the same as any other
man, by a stated and ample salary. The
pastor who receives gifts sacrifices, more or
less, his independence. He should be heard
always for the truths sake, and esteemed
for what he says and does, without any com
initials to favor or forbear to censure or con-
denim, by the influence of gifts. If we were
a minister, We should make this matter a
condition Of our engagement with any con-
gregation, no matter what its sta US, its
piety or its wealth.
