ASKS FLOCK NOT TO OVERPAY HIN
Reader COmmends the Unselfish
Loyalty of a Minister.


Editor of The News: The follow
ing breathes such a spirit of unself-
ishness and loyalty is it not well
worth while to pass it along just at
this season when the heart of the
world turns to the Christ who said,
'fBear ye one another's burdens?"
CDR. C. E. Patillo, pastor of the
First Methodist church of West Point,
has made the following statement to
the people of his church:
'"The church will during the fol-
lowing week consider the fixing of
my salary for the next conference
year. No one is more conversant with
the distressed financial condition of
the good people of this section than l
am. Scarcely a home in this city
that will not be more or less affected
by the financial depression. do not
want a salary that is not in keeping
with the conditions now prevailing.
I should have no respect for myself
to accept a salary which would have
to be paid out of the sacrifices and
needs of my people. If there is to
be suffering next year let me bear my
part of it, and no one will do it with
greater courage and cheerfulness. ."
Respectfully, READER.

move back to the grapevine figure that is
