WHEN THE PREACHER CHANGES PLACE

The pastor is to resign a charge ne
has held ten years. He IS popular with
his congregation. The new position
carries material increase in salary
over what the church here pays The
scene of the story is laid in Marshall

pastors TO be popular with their con-
g-ega1ions, to remain with them for
considerable periods and finally to
change pastorates or positions; but it

or perhaps newspapering. The story
Of change is an oft told tale as is the
award Of merit and the opportunity of
fitness without reference TO locality or
persons.

preacher changes places and salary for
the better paid position. Sometimes we

increase" to outweigh that self alb
negation and epiri, of utter sacrifice
which we who are not preachers in
sist upon as a necessary characteristic
of pastors. Which isn't SO. The aver

who forsake their calling and their
chosen work to seek lucrative jobs out

But is there any good reason and
justice in this common assumption
that a preacher should utterly refuse

the question Of change With that ma

dent, took charge of governmental,
affairs at Washington Tuesday. and
while the masses of Americans real.
ize very little change in affairs, il
was a great revolution in the
thoughts and ambitions of an army
of people personally interested in
politics.
Ou- new democratic President
begins his official career under very
favorable auspices. He belongs to
the radical or progressive element
of his party, but the conservative
element was so eager to see any de-
mocrat at the head Of affairs that
they have accepted and endorsed
him. On the other side, both
branches of the republican party.
radical and conservative, we're so
set against each other that they ap-
pear to be better satisfied than if
the other fellow had won.
Under such circumstances, Presi-
dent Wilson takes up his great re-
sponsibilities with a united demo-
cratic party. and the very general
good wishes of all Americans. Few
men have betn so fortunate at the
beginning of an administration.
How long he a retain this enviabIe
position will be his greatest test.
As American citizens everybody
now certainly wishes him well, but
also as American citizens. they will
quickly exercise their privilege of
differing with him on public mat
tiers al occasion arises.
