While the archbishop of Ottawa was
declaring to convention of clerical
and lay Anglican delegates that Ca
nadians were not paying their clergy
enough the same complaint was heard
at meeting of Methodists at Brook
Vile, Ontario. Salaries of from $500 TO
$500 were denounced as inadequate,
and one of the speakers said: If
Christ were on earth today he would
probably be tempted to continue his
vocation as a carpenter"
There is, we believe, no tariff on
clergymen and price quotations do not
indicate the need of q tariff. Possibly
the Canadian market may be stronger
than our own, for it is unquestionably
a fact that in parts of Canada Sunday
observance and church going are bet
ter kept up than they are in the
United States But in both countries
the clergy may we'll have a grievance
over the low value put Ipon their
services, and it is not disposed of by
talk of supply and demand or quips
at the expense of clerical gentlemen
who feel that they have a call to those
pulpits which offer them the greatest
financial Inducements.
Despite the low salaries and the low
attendance at theological schools 1t is
obvious that churches are still consid-
cred necessary. For one reason and
another they cannot be dispensed with,
and 1t is manifest that if they are to
exist at all they ought to have a decent
support. When it is expected of the
