SHOULD MINISTER'S SPECULATE

The financial troubles of the Rev.
Newell Dwight Hills of New York
have brought to the fore the ques-
ton, SHOULD Ministers speculate?"
Internationally minister of the
Gospel has as much right to invest
his means with view to pecuniary
gain as has any other citizen. He
is man as we'll as a minister, and
his rights as citizen do not differ
in any sense from those of any other
citizen.
But the sordid world of today has
learned to expect something higher
and nobler from the men of God than
scramble in the commercial world
for those riches which often they
publicly condemn.
To us it would seem that when a
minister descends from the pinnacle
of his purity and rubs elbows with
his fellow men in the game Of chance
he is bunting the finer edge of his
manhood and sacrificing the superior
wisdom with which God has endowed
him for the purpose of saving the
souls of men.
We listen to his sermons with the
expectation of learning of the higher
thoughts and the brighter side of
life; we expect him to lead us in the
path OF, srectitude~ and pave the way
to brighter life yet to- come; we
look upon him as our guide, our
mentor, as the one male being in all
this world who is endowed by the
Creator with the wisdom and the pa
thence to lead us in manhood as the
mother led us in our childhood days.
And if we see him side by. side
with us in our mad scramble for
gold it is more than possible we may
come to consider his teachings as
coming more from the lip than from
the heart.
The minister is entitled to a sal
airy commensurate with his position
and the financial means of his con-
gregation.
He should never be confronted
with the necessity Of employing out
side methods of keeping the wolf
from the door,
- He should continue to: be min
ister-the man Of God.
