crosby of Its friends. The idea of raising
this sum now is so that at the end of the
year there will not be debt for the asso-
citation to saddle upon itself
One OF the advances which will be made
possible by the raising Of the $40 600 will
be that secretary will be placed at the
marine barracks in this city. There most
of the marines in the service are sent for
varying periods, and it is regarded as i'm
peratfve that a proper religious influence
should be felt there. In the new marine
barracks now nearing completion space
has been provided for such department
and ii is hoped by the association directors
that they will be able to improve on this
opportunity soon as the buildings are
completed.

over them. Capitalization and oligarchy
they deem contrary to both the genius and
the form of the Presbyterian Church. They
claim. too, that certain of their brethren
have been charmed by church millinery,
and want bishop who can swell up with
social Importance and feast with million
aires and weave the spell of an august in
fuerce to draw a golden stream toward the
Golfers of the church. 1t Is money, money,
money that is the material cry of a carnal
and worldly Christianity. In the little
year after year, we see the crosier and
the mitre and the flowing robes of the
autocrat who will change the simple rule
Of the presbytery into the tyranny of lord
over Gods heritage
Then this bishop moderator is to be as
sisted In the subversion of the church by
six ruling elders and six ministers, to be
called a moderator's council, and for this
council "a two-thirds vote shall be neces-
sary for election The rule of the Presby-
terrain Church has been from time i'm
memorial a rule of majorities. 1t has been
the boast of this organization that 1t fur
nished the model for the government of the
great republic. Here again is an innovation
that sounds the tocsin of revolution. Is
the old-time majority to be given up and
a two-thirds vote substituted? Is the eff
fort to be for certain men, once in and
never out?''
Such criticisms as the above were heard
on every side, in private conversation and
open discussion, But with patience wis
dom and discretion the committee gathered
up every view presented, sifted arguments
and brought the pure gold cut of tons of
debris. The final report presented at the
February meeting was hailed once by
unanimous verdict as the long soughtfor
goal and the working plan on which all
could unite with enthusiastic and con-
scientious support.
The new rules that brought out this
animous action and perfect harmony in
one of the most remarkable meetings of
the presbytery ever held touch the follow
ing points: The number and character of
the meetings of presbytery, the election of
moderator and the election of the mod
orators council Simply three things. There
are to be four business meetings, and two
for the deepening of the spiritual life and
the quickening of evangelistic efficiency. 1t
may be well to quote the peculiar lam
guage of the paragraph dealing with the
election of moderator, 1t will ap
pear in the book: THE moderator shall be
elected year by year. at the April meeting
of the presbytery, by a majority of the
votes cast. If the presbytery so desires,
the same person may be elected year by
year" The moderators council consists in
the new order of six ministers and six rul
ing elders elected by presbytery. This
adds eight to the council, and from being
a body appointed by the moderator it be-
comes representative and elective. The ma
jority rule holds here also.
These new conditions will become oper
alive at the April meeting, which occurs
April 8.

SAYS PAY IS TOO
SMALL FOR PREACHERS

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
MINNEAPOLIS, April Elm a paper read
before the Augustana conference here
few days ago Rev. c. E. Cesander OF
Buffalo took the position that there are
few inducements for young men to enter
the ministry.
This was the cause for the falling off
OF candidates for the holy calling.
The pay was all too small, the chances
for advancement slight, the sacrifices de-
manded great, and spiritual fervor among
the younger generation on the wane.
MI. Cesander said there were 1856 par
ishes in the conference without minis
ters. He appealed to the ministers pres
ent to stir up the members of the flock
and educate them to the fact that bril-
liant young men could not be induced to
spend their days in poverty and self
abnegation.
Some of the older members of the con-
ference took issue with the speaker. but
the latter was supported by the younger
members.
