PREACHERS, PITCHING AND PENSIONS.


The saddest condition known to the
Christian ministry is when, after a long
life of usefulness and sel-denial, a
preacher finds himself poor in purse, with
health broken down, the doors Of COLI
tinued service in the ministry closing
to him, and congregations preferring
younger and more active men.
There is hardly a community that has
not known an aged minister, living in
direst poverty, who had in his youth and
manhood been strong bulwark of his
faith. Happily there has grown up
truer appreciation of the aged minister
and the duty of Christian men and wo-
men to supply his needs, but the church
es have fallen far short of their duty in
this respect.
At the recent session of the Methodist
conference at Pittsburg, Pa, there was
an incident that bears upon this matter.
1t is thus told by the Pittsburg Dispatch:
Bishop Vincent occupied over an
hours time at the morning session
to-day, instead OF u half an hour,
the time allowed for his morning
sermon. He spoke from the fourth
chapter Of Timothy, reviewing the
entire chapter. He gave long talk,
in favor of baseball, football, and all
athletic sports. He told the minis
ters that, il they themselves would
attend baseball games and similar
sports which are healthful and bene-
fetal to physical development, they
would encourage the members Of
their congregations to do likewise,
and the world would be the better
therefor.
''nssllop Vincent told the ministers
in plain words that, when they be-
came so old that they were uninter-
esting and unentertaining to the
members of their congregations,
they should step down and out, and
make room for younger men, who
would interest the visitors. He criti-
cised the odd ministers for complain
ing against the younger men, and
for attempting to retard their adj
vancement, as many of them do.
when ministers are dead and dull
they should get out of the way for
younger men, and retire, if necessary.
Too many ministers think that the
church exists to support them, when
the truth of the matter is that they
should exist only to support the
church.
''Dr. J. e. Williams, of Duquesne,
one of the aged ministers, interrupt
ed the Bishop with the statement
that it was all very well for the
Bishops to preach thus when they
retire from the ministry on good, fat
salaries" Bishop Vincent replied
that he favored the retirement of
all ministers on salaries. and APPROX
ed of the endowment fund for the
superannuated ministers with a reg
ular pension attached, so that the
minister would not have to feel that
he was dependent upon charity after
his days of usefulness were over"
1t will be long time, however, we
fear before any of the churches will
make ample enough provision for the
ministers for them to retire without be-
ing dependent ON charity. If Bishop Vim
cent could make athletics of all the
preachers, they might practice baseball
pitching until they would become so
strong thew would not need pensions.
Perhaps that was why the bishop gave
"a long talk in favor of baseball, foot
ball and all athletic sports"

Mott, and the anti-Russell men bitterly
cursed Mott as the man chiefly respon-

Mott now declares that he does not en-
