Mr.. Tomlinson finds that preaching
IL itself is the highest pleasure of the
averasa minister's life. but the other
features of the ministerial life seem
to offer discouragements which a ma
not surmount. These discourage
ments, as gathered from preachers
themselves, may be summed up as fol-
lows: Lack of freedom. an dthe dis
position to regard the minister as a
| defender of the faith rather than a
teacher or a student: the "dead-line"
of fifty years. which has arisen owing
to the demand for young blood in
the pulpit; meagre salaries and the diff
iculty of maintaining a home: the con-
tinual shifting of home and field; sub
lection to rettiness and the attacks
and demands of petty people.
Probably there r more drawbacks
han those enumerated here. but Mr..
Tomlinson has shown pretty conclu-
siyely that the churches as a rule are
not treating their %clergymen in fair
spirit. Evidently there must be a
le~ngthening of the term of service, a
higher average of remuneration, and
much more freedom in the pulpit
