praise. and we feel that We but feebly
voice the high estimate in which our
honored director is held in this c0m-

true merit and are willing to bestow its
reward.
Anunusual tribute of regard on the
part of the members of the band was
evidenced when Professor Miner left
our city, when the band turned out at
3 O'Clock in the morning, serenaded
Professor MINER and escorted him to
the train, playing many OF the high
class selections they had learned under
his instruction.
Professor MINER has had remark
able career in music. He is an artist
by birth and education. A IL years oil

achieved no little fame in art, having
been awarded the gold medal from the
Society of Art in Chicago, in 1892.

to return home to look after large in

Pay The Preacher.

"Church MEMBER, IN Biblical Recorder.
Just as 1897 closed, one of the best
pastors in the State said, II cannot
preach against dishonesty now" He
was asked why. He answered, "My
church owes me large part of my sal
airy on last year, and on this. On thia
account I am unable to pay what l owe
others. If tell others they ought to
be honest, my creditors will say, You
had better pay what you owe me before
you tell others to be honest This
faithful pastor was greatly troubled. He
wanted to pay his debts and provide
things necessary for his family.
Church members who fail to pay what
they owe their pastors are guilty of a
great sin. They become dishonest
themselves, and cause the pastor to be
regarded as dishonest, and thereby in
jure his infunce for good.
Individual subscriptions to pastors
salaries are usually small, and might,
as rule, be easily and promptly paid
if an honest effort was made.
The debt we owe to Gods cause
should be first paid.
