cause Of this fancled injustice on the part

dsAyoring To get the most work out OF him
for the least money. as cherishing spirit

as entirely unnindfui OF his struggle 10

Of him the highest remuneration for the

solicitous about his own advancement.

And suppose tho PASTORS continually mis-

continually misjudging the pastor Sup
pose he In thinking OF their apathy and tnvy
are criticising his peremptoriness. How
long will II be before the success OF that
pastor and the growth OF that parish spir-
ituaIIy are pronounced? / have known

compatibility IN both cases between the
pastor ana his charge And lest you should
think am favoring the cloth. l VIII say
that In almost every case where minister
