British Navy Seamen's Pay.
From the Boston Transcript.


Britannia's march DER the mountain
wave is not expensive by reason Of wages
paid in her navy. The general agitation
for a higher wage scale which is disturb
ing British industry has not reached the
forecastles Of the feet, but some students
of economic conditions have started an
investigation Of the pay Of naval seamen
and are publishing the results of their re-
search. Their first discovery is startling,
that while the pay of an able seaman
In 1852 was 80 cents a day, 1t is in 1919
but 40 cents day. There are special
allowances open to the competition of
special men, but, taking into considera-
ton the fact that the average man-of-war
sailor has to pay fraction OF his kit
expenses. he handles about a penny per
diem more than did his predecessor OF
sixty years ago. Inasmuch as Great Brit
ain finds no difficulty in manning the
navy by voluntary enlistment and has
about 10000 of all ranks in the service.
II would appear that Jacks pay looks bet
ter to him than 1t does to landsmen. AS
navies never go on strike for higher pay,
and have no hours, perhaps the British
n,an.of-warsman is assembling his dis
content under the influence Of discipline

Professor Says Ministers are Afraid
of Religion.


William Lyon Phelps, head of the
English department of Yale. scored
protestant clergymen in sharp ad-
dress, in which he said if they preach
ed more about the gospel and religion
and less about politics they would get
along better. In part he said:
"The main difficulty with the church
today is that the people in the pews do
not have the gospel preached to them.
The hungry sheep look up and are not
fed.
"The tremendous strength Of the
Roman Catholic church lies in its fidel-
ity to principle, in its religious vitality
and in its hatred of compromise. 1t
should be an object lesson to all prote-
slant ministers. They ought to learn
that the chief duty of preacher is to
hold forth christianity and not dis.
course on sanitation, political economy
or literature. People everywhere are
eager for the gospel and always respond
to it when it is convincingly set forth
whether by men like Phillips Brooks
or men like Billy Sunday.
"The protestant clergy are afraid to
preach christianity, partly because they
do not believe in it and partly because
they are afraid it won't draw As a
matter of fact, the ungodly respect
a christian minister who is absolutely
sincere and who confines his sermons
to religion and they despise a.vacillat-
ing and worldly minded pastor who
seems to apologize for his religion, and
substitute lectures on politics and So
cialism for the preaching of the gospel
Il know prominent clergyman who
during presidential campaign preach
ed Sunday after Sunday against one of
the candidates. to constantly dimin-
ishing audience. When the returns
came in, the object of his attack was
apparently successful, and he cried out
in despair, what can be done now?'
''He was answered by one of the un-
godly who happened to be present: I
don't see that there is anything left
for you now, doctor. except to preach
the gospel.
