Ample compensation to the min.
istry would secure a manly, self re.

the most independent of all men.
They speak Gods truth. They deal
with supreme facts and forces.
Their position should be so secure
as to he above "the fear or favor of

Ii is a standing rebnke to any lack

pose, with God in securing the
preachers humility by insuring his
poverty. But humility toward God
aud independence toward men are
in perfect keeping, and, in combina
ton with culture and conservation,
make the ministry that the world
needs.
In the greater efficiency of the
ministry, in the economy of time
and force. in enlarged courage aud
hopefulness, the world would get q
compromising interest OH
her investment.
More first class men would enter
the ministry. We know that many
men Of superior endowments are
carried over these obstacles of pri
walton and uncertain support by the
force of their conservation. But
those who stand at the sources of
supply have sounded an alarm.
They tell us the volume of the
stream is diminishing. Many young
men of talents and education
say they will not enter the ministry
because, among other reasons, they
cannot get fair pay for their work.
Perhaps if the church would do bet

she would have less anxiety about

A fair, honest support of the min
istry would do away with the half
fare and ten per cent. of nuisance.
The whole system smacks OF the
poor hOnse. If the railroads mean
honor to the ministry let them send
annual passes, and not a half flesh,
half fish thing, binding the holder,
in consideration OF three eights of
the ordinary fare, to keep his mouth
shut if the road breaks his leg or
