To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Few of the people in this city know of the good that is being accomplished by the faith full workers at the Seaman's Bethel under the leadership of the earnest Christian MT. Sam uel Thrasher. It would be great loss to this mission to have him leave the city or the work he is now engaged in, yet how can he devote his whole time to the work for $25 per month. less than it would cost to board himself and wife at the almshouse
 With the abundance of wealth in this city it is an easy matter to pay one man to devote his whole time to work among the sailors, and to pay salary sufficient to live upon.
 It is an insult to Christ to refuse or neg lect to pay his ambassadors enough to live on comfortably. A. E. D.
