CHICAGO, Dec. S.-There is no money
in the ministry in Chicago, in spite Of
the fact that the Chicago preacher is
paid =, better salary today than ever
before IN his life. Especially is there
no money in some of the most orthodox

grown his sect environment and sprung
into a rcw pulpit of his own. preaching
the word as he has interpreted it with
out assistance OF bishops. schools or
clergy. there may be three or four places
promising salaries of 5000 to $4,000 a
year.
In the Jewish church there are two
or three positions worth $1,000 to $4,000
year; in all the other denominations
there may be dozen pulpits avera ging
salaries of $500 year.
Salaries of SIoo a Year.
But. taxing the pulpits of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church of the city as
re3rs sentative of the average denomina-
ton in liberality. there is only one in
Chicago proper which pays as. much as
81 500 a year. and into this sum the rent
Of the parsonage attached to the church
is figured at $1,000 One other church. in
Evanston, pays the same cash salary
OF $500 and donates the parsonage at
another $1,000.
And contrasted with these two
churches paying The maximum. are the
church d Chandler, paying $3.50; the
church at MI IS, with a salary OF S104,
and the First Bohemian Church OF Chi
cage. paying an even 800 year for the
sherphe-ding of its flock.
TIC appreciate this showing one needs
to take et,ly the records of the medical
profession in the city as a calling rank
