CALLS
SAGE A SCAlAWAG

SARATOGA, N. Y, May 1.-The
Rev. Dr. G. p. Eckman, pastor of St.
Paul's, New York, who was referred
to recently by Senator Depew as 1.-The
strongest man in Methodism," bitter
ly arraigned Russell Sage as "a stingy
old scalawag." speaking before the
Troy conference. He also criticized
Andrew Carnesie's wisdom in giving,
and declared it would be better If Me-
Carnegie would supplement his gifts
to colleges and Libraries with appro-
priations for ministers.
1T was through the influence of a
Christian civilization" DR.. Eckman
said, that Mr.. Carnegie amassed his
great fortune. The salary paid to
the pastor is inadequate and he has
no opportunity to save money. He
must give himself to single work
and not dabble in secular pursuits.
The exactions of the Christian minis
try are such as to demand assistance
in his old age. These aged men are
not beggars, but preferred creditors
of the church"
The Rev. \. S. Kavanaugh, superin-
tendent of the Brooklyn Methodist
hospital, appealed to the church to
get along without the acceptance of
tainted money" Specie termed faint
ed by DIR. Kavanaugh is that derived
from race tracks, saloons, etc.
