The Salary o. the Preachers.

Z Methodist newspaper hiss ascer-
tanned that the average salary OF
preachers OF that denomination in the
South is only SAB IS year. In this
case the cent column, usually omitted
in stating salaries of professional men,
is really important, for IS cents have
deal OF work to perform in family
compelled 10 subsist, or die, on so
meager compensation as that. TIE
$473 35 year gives a5oIt 81 80 day.
The average preachers family consists
OF five persons. Allowing the mum
fcent sum OF 81 day for rert, cloth.
ing, fuel, dcc:or's bill and the num-
oerless incide2:ais, we fnd thirty
cents remaining fer the table. This
allows 10 cents meal for breakfast,
dinner and supper; OF IN other words
two cents q head for father, mother
and children. I: will be seen that 10
part Of the preachers income eoes for
q servants hire. The wife Of the cler-
gyman, who is expected to take lead,
lug part IN religious and social work
and to entertain many callers, must do
the housework, including washing
and ironing. The Methodist paper
that figured out the average salary OF
$47S 35 has some pathetic comments
on the thread bare ccat OF clergy
man thus situated and tbs actual
misery" it represents The wonder IS
that 50 many men can keep up even
a semi rsspectap pie appearance on such
81 allowance. Il it be urged that
thousands OF workipgmen support
their families on less than that, We
submit that tie fact has nothing 20
do with the case Preachers cannot
adopt the habits OF the wo7k!ngman.
They must incur many exPeaSsS that
are no. in the account OF a wage

has believed the altar of our country's

vive: while freedom or religion or learn
