SECRET OF PASTORS SUCCESS
Writer Is of Opinion That Proper Man
ner Has Much TO Do With
the Matter.

The reason why a good many min
listers of fair ability are out of a job
Is because they do not want to visit,
because they are looking for a church
that will fit their own notions rather
than trying to At themselves to the
needs of a church. II II true that a
good many men do not know how to
call, they do not know how to behave
when thew get into a house, they do
not like il and will shirk It every
chance they get. Yet calling is the
secret of success in almost every par.
ish today-not the same kind of call
ing In all places. but some kind in
every place-and IL our seminaries
had wisdom they would at their stu
dents to do their work in the best
way. in the only way in which IL can
be done in the country at least. Give
one year to sermon-making and three
years to making gentlemen in the
truest sense Of that word. Thus send
out men who can adapt themselves 20
the needs Of the place where they are
called, and can thus serve human
souls, who. being as they are. want
TO be better. The problem OF the
country church is to be solved BY the
pastor rather than the preacher
University Leader.
