The report that Henry Ward Beech
er's salary had been increased to $4,000,
per annum was lately made the occasion
of sundry sneers at him ana his profess
sion, as if the fact itself was proof that
he at least was preaching for money.
But the critics who are so concerned
for the purity of the ministry ought to
understand that the question has anoth-
er side. Those who have made the
matter subject of statistical study es-
innate the whole number of clergymen
in the United States at $1,000, and that
the average salary of each is only 500
per annum. Supposing each minister
to represent four persons-himself, wife
and two children-we then have Sl75
per head for all the ministers and their
families in the country. These figures
shOw-what the observation of every
intelligent man will confirm-that min
listers as class arg poor, and that there
is among them no small amount of pri-
walton and suffering on that account. If
their sincerity is to be called in ques-
ton, then it must be upon some other
ground than love of money. The stin-
giness and meanness ola great many re-
Iigious societies in their dealings with
their ministers offer far more salient
point for indignant rebuke and sarcasm.
