MINISTER'S MEETING
Takes Up the Ethics Of Their Pro-
fession.

Ethics was the theme OF the last
Monday meeting of the Ministerial
Association. Ethics is quite common
ly the theme of the ministerial pro-
icssion. But in this particular in
stance !, was professional ethics that
they talked about. Rev. s. c. Green
led oil with twenty minute talk on
the subject. which he opened with
the very candid admission that minis
tiers were but human beings and as
such liable to all the misundcrstand-
ing. misjudgmcnts and misrcprcscnt-
alton Of other morials. He said that
4 minister should always he gentle
man-wi,h the emphasis on the gem
tie" As an emuiasor Of Jesus Christ
he must be gentle and charitable in
his dealings with the world: and he
should be manly: doing the manly
thing in his cont act with society.
Next. he should be truthful: and the
strong point he aud the later speak
ers on this point made was that many
ministers were great liars In the sela-
tion OF personal experiences In their
sermons. Revivalists were counted
especially prone to this sort of ly-
ing. Mex; minister should be hon.
est. and the speakers prominent T.
tusttatbu on tuts potut was tuat OF
ministers who had no hesitation
about ineurrh0 debts th.' had no
probability. aiA often no intention
Of paying. A poin, that he also gent
ly and dciiea;eiy touched upon was
the difficulty iuxoixsd Ia -ih.-A>-s-
scandal In a Il nc of work so nee
cssarily in large part associated with
women. To escape the tongue OF the
scandal mongouAra no small part of
the minis,criay Professions difficult
,y. Finally the speaker insisted that
a minister should not be given TO lis;
;cning TO. much less tho telling OF
vulgar stories.
Five minutes each were given the
other members to discuss the subject.
and ono OF the additional ethical
points brought out was the ethics of
and infringing upon each
Others dcnominational territory. This
was quite freely handled. as well as
the points in Rev. Green's talk libcr-
ally reviewed. The younger minis
tiers prcscn, were interested in the
question of honesty in the matter of
using other and possibly. older mems
and uttcranccs in their dis
courses. and the question OF literary
was freely aired before the
meeting closed.
