erary ohoked to death ia his sleep by a
long black snake.
Wilkins, whose home was i'm North
Carolina, had started through the swamp
alone to look after shingle timber. The
weather being warm, he sat down by a
big Juniper tree to refresh himself and
went to sleep.
When found Wilkins was dead. Near
~ three feet of live snake were protrud-

an empty beer bottle and sardine box.
remnants of his luncheon.
Wilkins neck was swollen, his ewes
protruded, and an expression of agony
was ON his face. 1t took the strength of
two men to pull the snake from the
corpse. Its head and about two feet of

killed. 1t is supposed that wilkins was
sleeping with his mouth open and the
snake took it for hole that needed in

PREACHING AS a BUSINESS.
IAnniston, Ala, Union Leader. j

The doctrine OF hiring preachers and
the preachers serving for wages is anoth-
es outgrowth of the natural theology.
Does the United States leave its min
listers or even the post masters it appoints
20 be paid by the people or post Office he
serves No. Uncle Sam hires and paws
them out of his treasury which he col
lects from the people. God hires tha
ministers OF the gospel aud pays them
ont OF has treasury. which consists of
she gifts of His people. Natural theol-
o2y teaches that church paws a pastor.
christian, or Bible theology teaches
snat the Church pays TO God a tax which
re uses co carry on His governments
and 70 support the ministers as an Off,
Ger of His kingdom. Preachers have co
lar lost sight OF this truth in their work
tnat they are leaving God, the head of
tne Church, the employer off, and going
arounu contracting with the elnployeeS.
the IneeEoers OF the church. to preach
for them for SO much.
They seem TO think they can MAKE hat
ter terms wi til the people that they Are

has hired them.

This turning aside TO contract with

or pastoring achurch was matter ~
business; the common and natural force
or this expression is that where there IS

there Is no FACTORING. Theological Sem.
