A CLERICAL STRIKE.
Mr.. Sturgeon ON the Salaries

Mr.. Sturgeon ON the Salaries Of
Preachers
Mr.. SpurgeOn was present recently
ut the laying of the memorial stone of
q new Baptist Chapel ut Lordship Lane,
Dulwich, and in the course of an ad-
dress said he was thinking about call
ing the preachers together and having
a strike. He vas quite sure that q
very large proportion of the preachers
of all denominations did not earn any
thing like so much as the men who
laid the stones of that building. There
were many of his own students-men
who were doing good, useful work
who, ii they earned as much per annum
rs IN ordinary laborer, would thirk
themselves we'll of. How was it posi-
BILE to expect a minister to con.
tribute TO the various :, works.
and to mingle as ono of themselves
in society, if he we're not support
ed adequately Further Oh, Mr.. Spur
geon alluded to the spirit of "caste, "
which divided society. He hoped,
he SAID, they were not respectable.
There was nothing in the world he
hated so much as responsibility. The
respectable sovereign never spoke to
the respectable half-sovereign, the re-
spectacle half-sovereign utterly ignored
the existence of the half-crow the
latter i'll it's turn, looked with contempt
upon the slxpence, while silver had no
knowledge of it relation, copper. There
was as much caste to be found in Eng
sh society as ever there was in Hindo
stan; and what people termed respecta-
bility, was simply a dislike to mingle
one with the other. He should like
to SEQ liberty, equality and fraternity,
and t see people shake hands, no mat
ter OF what class, every Sunday.
