no concert of action. Woman's superior

Temporary Preachers.

In Boston there is @ certain religious
publishing establishment, which is rec
ognized as headquarters for ministers
seeking temporary preaching places. 1t
Is besieged by o run OF preachers who
have dash of the "carpet-bagger" ele-
ment in their ecclesiastical and profess
sional makeup. Some of them are men
of talent who are little run down. Some
are men who have worn themselves out
In pastoral service, some are do-nOthings.
And some are very excellent brethren,
who are worthy OF steady employment,
but who somehow or other do not man
age to be favored with "calls," as their
more lucky brethren are. Any church,
wanting supply Cor Sunday is almost
sure to find il here in various grades Of
quality, and at corresponding rates OF
pay. The more expensive ministers are
not to be found In this way, but rather
the low-priced ones. A few OF these re
seive as high fee as twenty dollars o
Sunday. Many are glad to 60 for ten
and there are some whose efforts can be
secured for five dollars. These fye-dol
or brethren are not esteemed, either thr
most eloquent or themost original. They
generally have faded manuscript or two
with them Sometimes they are given
to what they call extemporaneous preach
ing, that is TO say, they preach without
manuscripts, but they give their hearers
q repetition of what they have preached
over and over again so often that they
have no need of @ manuscript as an aid
to memory. This Boston headquarters
OF ministerial supply Ia an informal
thing which attends 10 itself, and has
grown up from the mutual necessities Of
churches and ministers. 1t regulates it
self, costs nobody anything, and Is worth
q great deal to those who make use of 1t.
Its operation is quiet, and few people
except those who are directly benefited
by it know Of its existence. --ts-gsf.s 80 4

which guards the all-imPortant tree OF

from Athens when they heard that the
