PRrAonERs.-There Is no class c

PREACHERS. There is no class of
public or professional men SO little appreci-
ated and so poorly paid as ministers of the
gospel. The same amount of talent and la
Dor employed In almost any other pursuit,
commands an infinitely greater reward, pc
cuniarily speaking, Ministers being mortal,
have to eat, drink and wear like other peo-
pie, and though they, MS class do not
'preach for money" they are as morally and
justly entitled to compensation ortheir SER
vices as anybody else. Very few people,
however, act as though they thought So If
they contribute towards the pastors or the
preachers salary, 1t is too often with re-
luctant shrug, as though they were throw
ing the money away, or giving it without
quid pro quo. Now, this is not right 1t is
the wrong views to take of the matter.
Preachers should not be treated as beggars
or dependants, but it should be the pride and
privilege of the congregation and of the
community to see that their temporal wants
are supplied and anticipated, and that while
they are dev0ting themselves to their holy
calling their minds 81 ould not be concerned
as to where withal they and their families
shall be fed and clothed. How many church
es, and especially outside our larger cities,
pay their pastor promptly? How often is
the quarter of the year permitted to pass,
and the salary agreed to be paid is still un
collected The answer is not satisfactory
The consequence is, that the minister gets
in debt with his merchant, and after awhile |
is pronounced "bad pay" and thus reproach
is'often brought, indirectly, but most efGectu-
ally, upon the cause of the gospel. Aside
from religious considerations every good
citizen should contribute to the support of
ministers The number and character of
churches in place determine it's social and
moral status, and if they are well filled in the
pulpit and elsewhere, it indicates intelli-
gence, refinement and morality, and tho
town or city will grow and prosper under
such influence And now, as this is the Sab
bath day, and good day for good resolves,
determine in your own mind that your
preacher shall be remembered-that it is
quite possible his necessities are pressing,and
that you will help him discharge some of his
pecuni airy obligations. We rather like the
example good lady Of this city set few
days ago, in sending her pastor one hum
dred dollar bill as a present. 1t is more bless
ed TO give than to receive, and the Lord low
