A Startling Suggestion.

Rev. John Watson, who is better
known MS Ian Mnclaren, the author Of
that clever Scotch novel Beside the
Bonnie Brler Bush" has laid himself
open to this withdrawal ofthefriendShlp
Of many ministers in this country
whom he cultivated during a recent
visit to this country. In the current
number Of the Ladies' Home journal
he has IN article under the Dlood-curd-
ling caption, should the Old Clergy
men be shot?" However the murder
Gus Implication Of this startling head
line is not carried out in his advocacy
Of the retirement of aged minister's
In fact he rejects the suggestion once
said to have been made by d'1in-
guIshed divine "thHt q minister who is
past his prime should be taken out and
shot" very naively adding that there
are objections on the pnrt Of an inter
fering law TO this summary method Of
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-12-04

disposal, and one must abandon the
idea Of an ecclesiastical knockers
yard.
What DR.. Watson does advocate.
though. Is the compulsory retirement
Of every minister at sixty years of age.
He would not send the veteran away to
starvation or the poor house: he would
put them on half pay. ana that, for
many Of them would be extreme pow
eFty To the suggestion that such a
law would be arbitrary. the doctor re-
plies that .'any minister would prefer
to retire by law rather than by force,
and that he would be In good company.
for he would share the lot OF every
naval and military ofieer. and every
civil servant, and every officer Of any
great corporation throughout the civ
ili2ed world"
The comparison, we think, is very
inapt. There is singularly happy
aphorism that we should have old men
for counsel and young men for action.
and In no profession or calling does the
aged veteran in works, deeds and faith
increase in usefulness as the years are
added unto them than in the ministry
Of Jesus Christ. There can be no more
beautiful crown than the whitened
locks that adorn the chastened brow
Of an old soldier of the Cross, and, there
is nothing which so stirs the deepest
and most reverent emotions Of the hui
man soul as the trembling voice Of age,
which nils the sanctuary with the echo
Of HIS presence. How many Worship
ers would consent to have their aged
pastors put away in the manner sug-
gested by Mr.. Watson. or the time
of life he fixes as the end OF their use.
fulness? There are too many sacred
things associated with him to relegate
him. He has married hts parishtoners,
baptized their children, buried their
beloved dead. and in times Of distress
and grief has been to them as "the
shadow of a great rock in a weary
land" He has been their conhdant,
their advisor and the friend of all
friends. Why. then, when the days
grow darker for him and the light of
his hope and faith brighter. should he
be cast aside and be told that the places
that knew him once shall know him
no more?
