A Colored Man ON the Ministry.
LAURENs, s. ca

= SAe6s
EDITOR ADvERTIsER:
We beg leave for space In your
columns to insert this, IL possible,
There is a great deal OF complaint
being made concerning the colored
ministers, especially in this county,
being SO expensive. We have in
this county between sixty and sew
enty-five ministers (colored.) We
pay. to them a standing salary
from $3.50 to 5000 each, every year,
which amounts to no les than
$0,750 every twelve months.
Besides that we pay to a good
many of them $40 per month for
the support of their families; con-
sequently the total amount would
be between $4,000 and $4,000 at
the expiration of twelve months.
Therefore, paying this unnecessary
amount causes many poor children
to suffer for want of necessities,
which they could have had.
The ministers say that they are
compelled to have this salary, if
not they can't preach, they can't
support their wives and send their
children to school, and that they
can't buy such clothing as required
for a minister to wear. When they
expect all this from people that
are not as able to work as they are,
what DO they think will become of
them and their children? We have
several old men and women that
can hardly make a support for
themselves much less for those
able, StrOng,So-cal)ed ministers and
their wives. 1t is very seldom
you hear their (the poor, helpless
class) names called during their
meetings. After preaching is over
they generally call for a large col
lection for the support of their fam
lilies and when they think they
have got the last 8 cents that
the audience possesses, then they
ask for a collection for the poor,
consequently the poor get nothing.
Then the ministers and stewards
say that they have discharged their
duty, when they know that they
have drained the pockets of their
members and all that they could
get out of the congregation. There.
fore, the poor and needy ones are
left in Il worse condition than be-
fore. We do earnestly beg the en-
tire community to take better care
of their own families. Feed, clothe
and educate Your own children and
we assure you that you will get
along a great deal better.
If the wives and children of our
ministers would work themselves,
they would not be eternally beg
ging. We believe in educating
our own children, not other peo-
pies.
All that we have to do is to unite
and declare that we will not stand
it any longer, and we will see how
much more we will have to distrib-
ute among III own children. Start
the ball rolling and divide the
yarn. "COLORED OBSERVER,n
