aessions. The local merchants are
gradually abolishing the old-time
complimentary methods OF selling
goods to ministers. All of the other
avenues of outside help are becoming
more and more clogged. until they
will soon be closed entirely. The
calls upon the minister's purse are
not lessening In number or insistence.
He is considered legitimate and easy
prey by many persons, members OF
his own flock included. While all this
is true, the cost of living is steadily
mounting higher and the salary that
several years ago might have been
ample to provide living is no longer
sufficient.
mo matter how small his salary,
whether it is barely suffic ient to keep
him and his family from starvation,
or not, the minister must wear good
clothing and dress his family well, be-
cause the pride of the congregation
demands it. What a shame it is that
this Christian pride does not extend
to the point that the parishioners are

should without sacrificing his own or

doing.
Ministers belong to the noblest
profession on earth. They deserve
better treatment than they are re-
ceiving. They are not beggars. In
the very nature of their profession
they cannot be and probably to that
fact is due the disposition of churches
to pay them the least salary possible
Few churches are paying what they
can afford. The tendency is all the

of the present high cost of living. the

an adequate living for his family.

THE business world today does not
know the conditions surrounding the
financial affairs of the ministry" con-
tinued Rev. Mr.. Greenleaf. THE
church itself covers up the matter
because If the truth became known
the whole religious institution would
be shamed. The ministers them
selves suppress the facts because OF
their fear that the pulpits of churches
would be closed to them in the future
or because of belief that the money
mad world would charge them with
being mercenary II they should de-
aaand more pay. 1t is time the facts
became known.

Chinese minister at Washington. Mr.. Chang
brought with him to Washington his wife, Mad
anne Chang, and three daughters. His son. Mr..
Henry Chang was sent to this country years in
advance of the coming of his parents in order to
perfect himself in American ways and to acquire
an American education. He is at present study
ing at the George Washington university. Not
long ago there was a wedding at the Chinese
legation, the groom being Mr.. Henry K. Chang
and the bride Miss Isabel Tong. Miss Tong. now
Mrs. Chang, is the daughter of Ton Shoa vi. who
was sent as special ambassador by China to
this country two years ago to thank the United
States for the remission of the Boxer indemnity.
When Minister Chang came to Washington, he
brought with him in addition to his family two
daughters of his friend. Mr.. Tong. Young Mr..
Chang promptly fell in love with Miss Tong and
as has been said they recently were welded at
the legation and the wedding Is declared by those
who were hidden to see it to have been one of
the most picturesque and sumptuous ceremonies
ever performed in America.
