young men. you may not get any money
for three months, and you may have to go
to a storekeeper and say will you trust
me, my congregation has not been able
TO pay me yety It may not be the truth
but It viii be charitable It is not because
the people do not intend to pay but be-
cause they are careless.
I'm the old days when a pastor finished
his pastoral rounds Of a day in the coun-
try he had received enough butter. milk
and other provisions to guarantee and Sc
cure his existence for two weeks. But It
Is different now. Very few Of such gifts
come now from the farmer, for the gifts
represent so much cash. I tell you, the
pastor OF the bygone days who received
$50 salary a year. with $50 for his wife
and so much for his children and the
good things from the generous members
Of his congregation, was better of than
many of the pastors nowadays"
