Sure 10 Be Criticised.

Even when fewer duties in tt line Of
church work are laid upon the minister's
wife, even when she is not found fault with
and judged harshly when she does not call
regularly upon all the members of the
flock. even when she is not accused of hav-
ing her own eavorltes among the church
people and showing more attention to
them than she does to others, criticisms
awaits her IN other lines.

which she trains her children and man.
ages her servants-to say nothing OF the
way she treats her husband?
Think of it carefully; be honest with
yourself. Don't you hold the notion that
you have liberty In the parsonage or the
rectory or the manse which you would not
claim in the house of any one else whom
you know no more intimately than you do
your minister's wife? Don't you consider
that you understand her duties and should
suggest to her changes in her manner or
her conduct as you never would to the or
binary friend or acquaintance? Don't you
say sometimes that someone ought to speak
to the pastors wife about ner neglect to
call on this one or that, or upon the fact
that her front steps are not so clean as they
should be or that her children whisper to-
gether in church or are late at Sunday
school?
If you are guiltless OF any of these incli-
nations the minister wife in your church
is lucky to have you as a member OF her
husbands congregation.

Is the wife of clergyman and her
communication to me was called

ago concerning unnecessary demands on

wives to be able to believe that her pic
ture is not overdrawn. These memories
join with her appeal to talk today about
the attitude of the members of a congre'
cation toward the wife of their pastor.
I know by my own past and by opserVa-
tions 1 have made that in every househoid
of faith there are dear friends and helpers
for the wife of the clergyman. kno"
also, that in the hearts of many members
of the parish there is conviction, ackno"i-

that the entire congregation mas sort OF

wife, is free to advise and to criticise and
to take liberties that any one of the advisers

and charitable societies go. are not second
to his, and that she is expected to attend
service every time the bell rings.
In this connection recall clearly a re-
mark I heard made h clergyman who
was delivering the charge to the people at
the installation of minister. Remem-
ber." he said, that your pastor is man
as well as a minister" I would alter his
remark to read in this case: II Remember
that your pastors wife is a woman IS well

Sometimes 1 wonder Just where bagan the
impression of the congregation that 1t had
a share in the clergyman's wife In Mrs
Stoves tales of old New England we read
of the reverence and respect in which the
minister was held. and these feelings ex-
tended to his wife. In those days there was
no talk of her being the servant of the
people Yet my memory, which goes back
many years, recalls no period when It was
not felt in the majority Of churches and
by the majority of parishioners that the
minister's wife had a distinct duty toward
her husbands charge. andshe was severely
blamed If she failed to fulfill this Even
today it exists in some churches.
