Whatever complaint the poor and
worn Methodist minister may have
about his church's neglect when his
term of service is over, our Reverend
Brethern Of the Congregational and
Presbyterian churches appear to have
little or nothing to complain OF. Last
week the Reverend Theodore Cuyler,
Pastor of the Lafayette Avenue Pres.
byterian Church, retired after thlrty
years of service. and the church pre-
senled him with a check for thirty
thousand dollars. About three years
ago the Rev. Richard s. Stofrs, on the
completion of his fortieth year was
presented by his psrishioners with a
purse of forty thousand dollars, at the
same time his salary was ten thousand

ton gave him house worth at least
twenty-five thousand dollars, and if /
mistake not, furnished it from bottom
to top at cost of thousands more, his
salary at the time being fifteen thou
sand a year. The good Doctor is
pretty snugly fixed, salary fifteen thou
sand; il come from his sermons FIVE
thausand, lectures ter thousand, sal
airy as editor five thousand, marriages,
&c. two thousand, with the interest
say at FIVE per cent of his two hun

tiles, making in all nearly sixty thou.
sand dollars per annuih; he is not like

But the above exhibit shows that
Brooklyn is not a bad place for minis
tiers, though our Episcopal brethren,
in one instance at least. have caused
their faithful shepherd to get out in
the cold. 1t is not necessary TO men,
tion names, but the reverend gentle
man in question believed in doing
things as they were done in the time
of Henry the Eighth of blessed men,
ory. Then they had vestments and
croziers and crosses and candles ana
incense. and lots of things that we
don't have now. Then it was said
that he did believe in Holy Water, and
he did not believe in Sunday schools,
and in short that he was more of a
Roman Catholic than Protestant,
and the reportorial liar for one of the
morning papers, had heard him say
in the presence of several witnesses,
THAT there was no such thing as u
Protestant. This was the last feather
that broke the Episcopal camel's back,
So the faithful servant was bounced.
Another Episcopal minister the Rev.
Doctor Rylance of st. Marks, was not
M easily knocked out. Doctor Ry-
lance went to Europe last year, and
while there received letter from his
friend Mr. Quackenboss telling that
all of his evil practices had been
found out, and that he had better
resign. Doctor Rylance, taken by
surprise, didn't know but he might
have put his clerical foot in it some
way or other, so he sent in his resigua-
