\ MINIMUM WAGE ron MINISTER'S


The 1Aymen's Association OF tho New
YORK. East Conference OF tho Metho-
dist Church at a late meeting adopted
resolve favoring Il minimum salary
for preachers. Tho position was
taken shat each married ordained
minister should receive minimum
salary or $1,000. ana each unmarried
minister no less than $500
II was further proposed that the
district. pastoral and church aid So
cietlcs should he merged Into a ras.
TORS aid society. so that on, OF a
common fund the preachers salaries
should FIRST he maid The new move
mcnt Is based upon the belief that a
preacher IS entitled TO comfortable
living FIRST OF ALL and that So much
should be done before other demands
arc met Before tho heather are sup
piled. the preachers families are to be
given n comfortable living.
There is lot OF good, hard common
sense IN such an attitude. The aver
age preacher is wocfully undcrpaid
His compensation does not enable him
TO live comfortably or to equip him
self adequately for his great work
Fay the preacher first is a good rule
