Dr. Alexander Clark in the shape Of eu}ogistic
letter, that journal says:
The right OF private Judgment in matters OF re-
lslon was one of the fundamental principles in the
great Reformation, and 1t Is one OF the cardinal
PRINCIPLES Of lhe Methodist Protestant Church.
Indeed Of all Protestant Churches. While we claim

The Lining Church says: "It should never
be forgotten that a clereyman's salary is ia no
sense compensation for his services. In other
words, the money he receives Is not salary at
ALL 1t Is means and not an end. He does
not Work for money, but he must have money
that he may work. LIE is not hired man,
AS a 'laborer,' OF course, be Is worthy OF his
hire, but the hire IS not the emu Of his labor
The eclergyshou!da! da!ways clearly bear this in mind
and the laity should understand it, The clergy
man IS not in the same category as clerk, or an
c1n ploye Ut any kind. lie is the servant OF the
Church and not Of the vestry or congregation
Ihe vicious system which we unfortunately are
under at present has tended to confuse and OBJ
serc the clear principles which uuderlie all this
matter"

III feel as though had been moved By the Di-
vine Spirit, and If l thought there was any
wrong about the matter, or that my action
would offend Jehovah, would not take cent
Of the money. On the contrary, there is moth
ing wrong about buying 1ottery-iicket. a
man simply pays dollar for the chance Of bet
end Of it, and If he wins there is no dishonesty.
Lottery business is not gambling, and IL might
do great deal of sood.' He has selected q
