l. A church that is able to give a fair
salary is greatly damaged by not doing
it, in a prompt and liberal manner.
2. 1t is usually unwise, financially,

attempt a reduction of salary. 1t is
equally difficult to collect a reduced
salary, and removal is the usual result.

but at the same time, it is their duty and
privilege to devise and carry out liberal
things.

Letter from Greece.
The Greek Evangelical Church

Messrs. Editors" There is peculiar
fascination which hangs around the first
beginnings of any great enterprise" ="
These are the words with which the Rev.
Oswald Dykes once commenced a power
full address (the only one ever heard
him make) on missionary work, taking
the first four verses of the 18th chapter
of the Acts of the Apostles as the start
ing point of his remarks. If the words
are true, and there can be no doubt of
that, then the month OF March of 1882
will be one ever to be remembered in the
history of the Greek Evangelical Church,
one around which peculiar fascination
will cling for the generations that are to
come after. On the first Sabbath of that
month the first Elder and the two first
Deacons of this body will be ordained in
the church at Athens
Little did the world know of, or care
for, what took place among that humble
body of Christians at Antioch, yet how
immense have been the results which
have flowed from that despised source.
The same God who wrought in them,
works in us, and his power can still ac.
complish equal results.
1t is not unworthy of notice that the
first Elder of this little church is named
John, and one of the two Deacons, Ste
phen; the other is named Raphael, while
the elder proposed for the church in Thes-
salonica is named Michael.
1t will also be remembered that last
year at the annual meeting of the breth-
rem of the Greek mission, native Pres
byteryswas organized, composed of three
native Greek evangelists This body will
hold its first regular meeting on the last
Sabbath in March, in Thessalonica, where
there will be present not only these three
reverend brethren (Messrs. Michaelides,
Aegyptiades, and Liaoutsi,) but also one
elder from Athens and one from the
church in that place. The new Form OF
Government of our Church, has Just been
completed and will be submitted to this
meeting of the Presbytery for its adop-
ton. T. r. SAMPSON.

adjusted, and new subscribers obtained,
so that the church may receive a proper
share of the increased income of its more
prosperous members. Every Christian
and church goer should contribute to
the pastors salary and to the various
operations of the church. Frequent re-
ports from the treasurer to the congrega-
tion will instruct them.
