RAISING THE MINISTERIAL PAY

The authorities Of the Episcopal
church in New York have decided that
the interests of the church will be
best served by a raising OF the stand
ard of pay for its clergymen. 1t has
accordingly been decided by them
that $1,000 is the smallest salary
that a rector shall receive, if he is
single, and 81, 200 and a residence if
he is married, or $500 without the
residence.
There is a stroE.. element of COM
mon sense in this decision that will
commend itself to the world at large.
With the expenses of living as they
are, and with the extraordinary de-
mands that are always made upon
a clergyman. 800 month is none
TOO large a salary for an unmarried
rector, and 1925 far from being
princely compensation for one on
whom rests the expenses and res
possibilities of a family The man
receiving such salary cannot be
well accused of having adopted the
ministry from the standpoint of the
emoluments it offers. Educated as
the great majority of clergymen of
all churches now are, there are far
more tempting possibilities in world
" employments than in the care of
the spiritual interests of the people.
Guided solely by the money-making
desire, few men would remain in the
pulpit AS a class the ministers of
the land are self-sacrificing, conse-
Grated, devout men, who suffer at
times from the very meagreness of
their pay, but are sustained through
their financial difficulties by the
realization of the supreme impor-
lance of their work, the grandeur OF
their calling.
But because of their devotion to
their lifes work, there is no reason
why the clergy of all churches should
not be adequately provided for. The
miserable pittance that is served out
to some of them limits and lessons
their usefulness. The anxieties thai
are caused by the inability to prompt
Iy meet obligations, the absence Of
proper recreation, the realization thai
old age is creeping on with no prov
isions for it, these and the other
mind-racking conditions of semi
poverty are well calculated to i'm
pair the usefulness of the minister
to impoverish him intellectually, Il
not spiritually, and to weaken his
influence for good in the community
in which he resides.
A great pressing need of all the
churches today is to more fully com.
pensate their clergymen for their ser.
vices, not to put them in a position
of aff1uence-no one expects that-but
to make life reasonably comfortable
for them, to insure some of the
brightness of every day existence fol
them, to lift unnecessary worri-
ment from them,to euable them tc
meet all of the demands that are
common to all men. When this is
done it is not at all improbable that
the strength of the clergy will be
increased and the additional invest
ment found to be a source Of both
spiritual and material profit to the
people they are serving.

The New York Times remarks
that it is natural that men inter
ested in the tariff schedules as mere
consumers should not take the trou-
Bile and go to the expense of a visit
to Washington to lay facts before the
Committee, as their interests are too
slight and too remote to warrant
it, OF course the consumers have
no direct or vital interest. They sim
ply foot the tariff bills.

The Butler Herald declares that the
farmer who doesn't take the lesson
of low priced cotton and high priced
food supplies and hereafter raise
his own home supplies is thick
headed This is rather strong, but
it is evident that the farmer who
sells his cotton for nine cents and
sends all the profits out west for
corn and meats is not guilty of doing
any too much thinking.

New Furs Sacrificed

We opened on Saturday last our new
stock of furs which the heavy business has
prevented our offering ere this and we will
place them on sale this week at the most enor-
nous concessions.
We debated the question as to whether
or not we should get the furriers of whom we
bought them to take them off our hands, but
lnasmuch as the orders were placed last spring
we did not feel that it would be just to them
to make this request. hence we decided to sell
them at a sacrifice and if you will come this
week you will buy furs cheaper than you ever
saw them in your life. Don't postpone it but
come at once.
