and are fairly loyal to the general inter
ests and our church institutions, yet in
this we have not reached a relative per
lection. Once in a while we hear some
one say that the preachers get too much
for preaching, and that it costs too
much to carry on the work of the
church, and that we expect too m ,ch IN
