marriage of those who have been di-
vorced and let all ministers of Christ
remember that 1t was He who said:
whatsoever shall put away his wife
and marry another committeth adul-
terry against her; and if she herself
shall put away her husband and marry
another, she committeth adultery.
by virtue of our allegiance to Christ
we are the sworn enemies of the sa-
loon. There is no place for compro-
mise in the liquor traffic. It's reve-

Plea for Higher Salaries.
Rev. R. w. Alberley. of Rushville,
Ind. in an address, Dignity and Hon
for higher salaries for ministers. He
said:
IF any profession is worthy a mans
best efforts, his noblest aspirations, IT
is the Christian ministry No man IS
too brilliant to wear the commission
of the king.
Since the church demands so much
of the preacher, is it too much that
the preacher should expect that the
church will be as generous as it is ex-
acting and provide literally for its
support?
1.-The right of every one to live on
the fruit of the toll is a divine one,
and inherent in the constitution OF So
ciety. If a man won't work, neither
shall he eat But the man who does
his share of the worlds work and adds
his contribution to the sum of the
human happiness and socety's wealth
has an inherent right to share in the
products of his labor.
There are men say one man, who
wear clothes and who do nothing for
the world but stare at it and suck the
sweetness out of it. And there doubt
less are some preachers who dress
well and have an easy place and get
more than they are worth.

What we have done in the matter
of Christian Benevolence is not alto
gether Insignificant, yet none of us
are satisfied with the achievements of
the past said Mr. Marshall. I'VE
have reached out in different directions
in order to show our sympathy for
| every kind of an unfortunate with
whom we come in contact. The day of
| larger and better things is upon US.
| the world is pre-empting the ground
and the church must move forward if
! it would possess it's own
| Lodges are building hospitals and
| orphanages, Juvenile courts are re-
/ claiming the boys and girls of the
! asylums, state and national govern
ments are building sanitariums and
! Big Brothers are visiting the widows
and orphans in their affliction.
From a purely business standpoint
! we ought to undertake larger things in
| the field of benevoIence. There is no
! other appeal that so universally enlists
the minds and hearts of men,
