Ministers, salaries.

In regard TO ministerial salaries some
interesting things are said in the latest
Andover Reui7C: The salaries OF ministers
in the larger parishes equal, where they
do not exceed, the salaries of justices of
the supreme courts OF the states and of
the United States. The salaries of
ministers in that very large field OF
secondary parishes equal. If they do not
exceed, the salaries of professors in the
larger colleges. The salary OF the average
country minister equals the income OF
the average country doctor. The con-
clusion derived from the foregoing exhibit
is that there is little ground for the state
ment sometimes made that the reason so
comparatively few young men are now
entering the ministry is the lack OF ade-
quate support in the sacred profession.
The real reason probably is that there has
been an over-supply. There were form
erly more men in the ministry than there
was a demand for, using the word de
mand" in its business sense. There is no
doubt that when more clergymen are
really wanted there will be more.

Mrs. Cleveland received callers by appoint

had not expected the crowd which presented
itself but she enjoyed 1t after all, as did the
throng, in a mOurnful way. The scene which
transpired was perhaps never before witnessed
in the white house. Mrs Cleveland shook
hands with the three or four hundred people,
and then they stood around and watched
her every movement When the good-byes
were ready 70 be said there ensued a strange
hesitancy in uttering them. The ladies
drifted past Mrs. Cleveland, one by one, and
lots of them were afraid to speak at all for
fear they would break down. Numbers of
them cried bitterly and made no pretense
of hiding it. They went up to Mrs. Cleveland
with all manner of pretty speeches all ready
TO be delivered and found they could not talk
when the time came. She must have been
touched by the incident, but displayed her
usual self-posSession and grit, and kept up a
chatty conversation with some friends not so

the third Why did a good God let sin
and sorrow come into the world when lie
might have kept them out? answer, He
had a good reason for letting them come
in. He had good reasons He has never
given to the world. He had reasons
which he could no more make
us, in our finite, earthly state,
understand than a merchant start
ing out in some great enterprise could
make his little two-year-Old child, in a

are some reasons we do not know. One
was that it might be demonstrated what
grandeur of Christian character could
be achieved by conquering evil. Had
there been no evil to conquer, had there
been no sOrrOws TO sOlace, the world
would never have had Moses, or a David, or

Corrccting NIistnkes.

Or. Joseph Parker of London recently
gave the workingmen talk, his purpose
being to correct some of the mistakes
that class is constantly falling into as to
the nature of Christianity itself. One of
the first mistakes with regard to Christi
anity, said he, was that only scholars
could understand il. His solemn con-
victiOn was that scholars, by a distant
perversion OF scholarship, had done more,
in not few instances, to dishonor Chris
tianity than to exalt il. They had made
a puzzle OF the heart of God. They had
gone into metaphysical distinctions and
classifcations and analysis that had no
relation whatever to the immortal hunger
of the immortal soul. What we wanted
for proper understanding of Christian
principles was conscious need of the
thing in our own souls, The broken
heart would find out more about Christ
than the most complete and finished
scholar.
