SEASONABLE WORDS ON THE MONEY

The love of money being the root of
all evil, perhaps if for time there is
somewhat less money in sight for all of
us to covet, and to make the Unlocking
world envious of our lot, there may come
TO be some cessation of clashes and some
timely growth of goodwill. The scramble
for fat purses is more intense than the
scramble for lean ones. The purses ON.

Crying Need for
More Preachers
(Continud from Ninth Page.)

great value to the church ''were great
men, great citizens and great preachers;
not one of them were college men; all
were seIf-made." Such statements ought
to be made over and ever again to young
men in college, not to deter them from
graduation, but to stimulate them to
make the most of their opportunities.
You never saw self-made man in your
life who was not willing to make sacri-
fees to educate his children. Why? He
always feels the need of the training
and accurate information that young men
get at college.
In his address to the young preachers
the bishop talked lot of horse sense in
a homely way. He has a way of doing
that and of using as illustrations some
thing that goes home because it is taken
from something of the commonest expert
ence Every now and then we hear Of
some preacher who loses his influence be-
cause he is in debt and cannot pay. When
preacher does this he shuts the door Of
opportunity for usefulness. The Metho-
dist discipline refuses to take minister
barrass you" The bishop asked that pre-
scribed question: and then he added: Are
you in debt in such way as to embarrass
others?" which is quite as important. He
then proceeded to point out the evils that
follow a preacher who is in debt. And
then, turning to the laymen, he told them
some sound, sensible truths that are need
ed in all churches. In effect he said:
you laymen, who criticize preachers who
go in debt, do you do your duty to pre-
vent it? You promise to pay a certain
salary. The preacher makes his bills upon
the expectation of the salary promised;
you do not pay him, he cannot pay his
debts. He loses his good reputation. His
influence is gone. Who is responsible"
That is home thrust. Preachers are the
best debt payers l know and the best fin
anciers They rarely fail to meet every
obligation even when their salary fails.
They educate more children than any
other calling with like incomes. 1t is
leasy to be a financier upon a large In
lcome. A preacher with family who lives
upon a salary of $500 to $1,OO0-such as
