+ OuuICus - COuuuCbluB series y
meetings that are moving along smoothl!
in the grooves of success. Mr.. HollaeC
does not believe in employing an evan
gelist to run his church, neither hi
meetings. He does not believe in preach
ing most of the year to a sparse congre
cation, and when the real work of the
year comes on, -''the burden and heal
of the day, hiring some one else tt
do his work, and making his congrega-
tion pay for it. We think Milton has
had a surfeit of evangelic help; as wit
ness the cases of one BushrOd Taylor,
and a DR.. Liddell. Two men, one at
each of the Methodist churches, who
disgraced the pulpits, libelled the peO-
pie of the town, and were the factors in
causing the people of the town or part
of them, to disgrace themselves by re-
taliatory measures. Happily there have
been no such instances since and the
present ministers of the Methodist
churches, neither of them, will be likely
to disgrace his church nor the cOmmu-
nifty by calling to their aid such cattle
as the ones above mentioned. If min
lister thinks himself incompetent for his
! position, he should resign, and engage
IN another calling; or, if he wants an
evangelist merely to relieve himself from
too arduOus work then he should pay
the evangelist from his own salary. If
l contract with a man to build him a
house, / expect to build it. If cannot
do it myself and am obliged to call on
other wOrkmen to help, expect to pay
those WOrkmen from my contract price. |
would have a hard cheek, indeed, to
call on my employer to pay my work |
men. And so, we think, it should be. |
between evangelist, and resident minis !
ter the minister employs an evan |
gelist to do his work he should paw the |
evangelist out of his salary, and not ex-
pect the members of his church and
congregation to duplicate his salary by
paying the evangelist. 1t is a sad thing
when the gospel, with some persons, be-
comes a commodity of merchandise and
cOmmercialism, but if such be the fact
it should be treated as other businesses
are treated, in a business like manner.

We don't hear so much about appli- Il
ants for the pOstOffice as we did directly a
fter the election. This by no means tc
gnifies that any of the former appli- -
ants have abandoned the contest. They Al
re making a still hunt!-and it will be ~
etter for some of them to adopt that
Durse. Anyone who thinks the post m
lice in Milton is a sinecure is much si
istaken. 1t islnot altogether the work If
.tached to the Office that makes the
Dor. it is the confinement and worry NJ
ereof. The postmaster may be snooz- m
g away very comfortable, when, all of r,
sudden little urchin will rush into or

No; nothing for you" In few min dit

suit, and at last pater-families will do wi
e same thing, with the same result. Pi-
wv this Is worriment with no result, re-,
r it is probable this family don't get n,
o letters in year; and there are more rio
the same kind who do the same thing. for
ell, but you say, the postmaster gets VII
id for it and he is only doing his duty. wh

postoffice is not sinecure.
