Clergymen today need big hearts and
they intend.
1t isn't merely the fact of preaching
once a week that makes the life of
the minister of today so wearing on
nerves and brain. Their everyday la
Dor is a round of eXacting duties that
tax heavily upon the nervous strength
The modern minister must keep up
his enthusiasm, his hopefulness and
his genuine love of the work. He must
feel strongly, think deeply, and have
confidence in his labor and in himself.
But all this taxes heart and brain
to their uttermost. 1t calls for a tre
mendous outlay of nervous energy sew
en- days in the week, and 365 every
year. Many clergymen break down
utterly under the nervous strain.
Rev. I. P. Quimby, the well-known
Boston preacher, has been saved from
nervous prostration.
In publication of his Sunday school
he has recently published the following
open letter.

The Louisiana Democrat. [volume] (Alexandria, La.) 1845-1918, 1895-06-26

AN EMBRYoTIC, STEVENSON
BooM.-The free silver Democrats
of Texas are anxious to obtain an
expression of opinion from Vice
President Stevenson on the finan-
cial question, as they desire to boom
him for the Democratic presiden
tial nomination, if found to be in
full sympathy and perfect accord
with their peculiar views of finance.
But unfortunately for the fruition
of their hopes and development of
their scheme, the Vice. President
is entirely non committal in refer.
erence to this absorbing issue. In.
deed, it may be truthfully said.
that he is as reticent as the sue.
culent bivalve and as silent az the
tomb. 1t is quite likely that the
Vice, President-in common with
other ambitious politicians-is
astride of the financial fence and
has notyet determined upon which
side to alight.
