Pay Your Minister.

Upon the eve ofgoing to press, in.
telligence has reached me that three
Of the parishes in the Diocese of
Alabama have notified their rectors
that they are unable to make up the
full amount of salary for the ensuing
year. This intelligence rather con-
traticts statement made elsewhere
in these editoria columns to the effect
that our people are, notwithstanding
the financial depression, maintaining
their offerings to all Church objects. l
am sorry indeed to note this contra
diction. I was taking a genuine
pride in the loyalty and fidelity Of the
people Nor will allow these
exceptions to weigh oyermuch. /
still believe that our people are loyal
in meeting their obligations to the
Church. Nor do ! believe that in
these parishes there is any valid rea.
son for this sbridgement Of salary.
Think, Christians, that these ministers
Of God have surrendered all things for
Christ. They receive less than those
Iaborers who are now striking for
higher wages, and are creating such
disturbances in our land. The aver.
age salary Of a minister of the Gospel
is less than the wages Of man who
sbovels coal in the mines, who opens
the throttle.vale of the engine, and
scarcely more than the switch opener
and the fireman on the locomotive.
These latter strike if their wages be
reduced but the minister cannot
strike !; for him there is no redress,
for he works for God. Think, Chris.
tian. Think how much you spend on
self in selfish enjoyment, in luxuries,
and remember that you must one day
give account. How will you fare
think you in the day OF reckoning.
when it shall be found that your re-
treDchments struck first at the obliga-
tons you owe to God, to whom you
owe all things.
Pay your minister He receives
now far too little and much less than
the most of you. It is shame upon
yon /; stigma which canaot be re.
moved in this world, nor in the next,
| think, if you abate one jot or title
from the already inadequate amount
you give to God and to holy Church

is that inasmuch as the money Of the

means of which they have been able to
put their feet upon the necks of the
producing classes, they depositiog gov.

more important than anything else, be-
cause the sum of all things must be
