Ministers Salaries.

The Presbyterian General Assembly, IN
session at Atlantic City. was addressed
by a minister from Indiana. who took
occasion TO say that one trouble with
the church Of to-day was that under
the present average Of salaries mo
young man can enter the ministry and
secure enough to live upon decently." q"
He referred. in a minor degree only. TO
the increased cost Of living as bearing
on this problem.
The question brought up by this gtate-
ment Of the gentleman from Indiana is
one in which we are all interested. the
laity and ministry alike. In recent years.
we are inclined TO think. there has been
always too much talk OF money raised
and Of salaries in connection with tht
preaching Of the gospel. and. to the law
man-especially to that class OF layman
that does not particularly interest itself
in affairs OF the church-there seems to
be mercenary atmosphere in connec-
ton with salvation that does not quite
seem to consist with the humility and
self-abnegation taught by the Master.
We are inclined to think that. while
there may be here and there IN small
congregations ministers who are under
paid, the general average OF ministers
salaries will compare mighty favor
ably with those earned by men OF equal
intellectual capabilities; with the sal
aries Of schOolmasters, college profess
sors. scientists. writer's. and so on. And
Il should seem, too, that the complaints
about meager salaries for the ministry
fail to take into account the quality Of
the work in which ministers are en-
gagged and tho enormous rewards. other
than financial. that are part Of their
daily life.
For If It IS true in literary work, as

From the C-erelar5 Plain Dealer.
A public Iararv reader who saws he's
been averaging two or three novels a
week for a great many years offers the
following list Of phrases without which
no novel can be called complete:

And So they two. hand in hand. passed
together into the scented and mysterious
night
The doctor looked down at the white
face on the pillow. His eyes were grave,
his lips were set
Remember. Chalkey; 7 am at home to

In that brief moment his entire life
passed IN review before him.
But when, at last. the lights OF the
village came into view.
The hand Of time had dealt lightly with
that gentle face.
TT IS enough for me. dear. that you

She breathed more freely. One danger

Taft at Home and Abroad.

AS keenly delighted as Washington al
ways Is 10 know that the President is
within the city gates. 1t IS hard TO under
stand why outside criticism should be
leveled at him because OF his perhaps
frequent but rarely prolonged excursions
to other points. OF all forms Of wrath.
big and little. visited upon the Presi-
dental head, this seems 10 US the very
smallest. in the light OF the truth and the
facts in the case.
Mr.. Taft receives hundreds OF invita-
tlons to attend this and that function
here. there. yonder. and everywhere. No
gathering is relatively so important other
wise that It does not desire his pres
ence. no county fair is so small that It
Is beyond the possible limit OF his kindly
consideration. Being one who loves his
felIow-men. the President accepts invita-
lions when they do not conflict with the
public business or Unreasonably discom-
mode him personally.
There is not a citizen IN any COM
mun!ty within the Union who would de-
cline 10 enthuse over prospective visit
by the President 70 that community for
any purpose whatever Of a social nature.
and regardless. practically, Of all else.
The man who objects 10 the President
visiting objects only to his visiting other
neighborhoods than his-the ohjector $
own. Atlanta would rejoice 10 have Mr..
Taft spend every weekend in that city.
Notwithstanding the fact that It might
not approve OF his spending every week
end in Buffalo
We recommend 70 Mr.. Taft that he
spend as much time as possible in
Washington. II is a grand and benignly
attractive city, full Of good people and
patriots. He cannot beat 81, no matter
where he goes. as doubtless ne realizes.
However. Washington VIII decline 10 hold
it against him that he does go away
occasionally, IN order 20 get acquaint-
Cd with those unfortunates who have
been assigned by fate to other places OF
residence. He IS Washington's bright and
particular star a great part Of the time.

The Washington herald., 1910-05-28

Stevenson says. that "the quality OF the
work a man does Is OF infinitely more
Importance to his happiness than the
amount Of wages he is 10 receive for
that work." it should be much more
true OF the privileges accruing 10 the
ministry
The minister is a man set apart. and
he should be. II is his especial glory
and privilege TO comfort the down
trodden, to console the sick. TO hearten
the despondent. TO strengthen the weary.
TO point always TO a glorious hope. TO be
filed with tenderness, compassion. and
mercy; to act as the especial servant
OF the Most High in caring for the chill
dren Of God.
Such services as the minister renders
cannot be measured by money. as the
services OF an expert accountant are or
the abilities OF a superintendent Of q
factory. No man should be in the min
istry who is not there because he could
not deny the call that was in his heart.
When no has attained the ministry he
should seek for his reward in his bound
less opportunities rather than in his
salary.
How often IN such a discussion as
this do we hear quoted the Scriptral

too often is this used TO justify the enor-
nous salaries paid TO the pastors OF

The piano, as we understand II to-day,
is close to $50 years old. The early his
tory OF the instrument is shrouded some
what in mystery. Christofori is credited
with being its inventor and the date Is set
down as ITO, Nowhere IS 70 be found a
description Of this instrument other than
mention OF It and that IT was worked by
striking the strings. The instrument was
developed out OF the clavichord and harp
