PARLOR PREACHERS
ARE NEEDED TODAY
SAYS REV. MINTER

"A pastor must be wise 'parlor
preacher and must be able to visit the
homes and get in personal touch with
his people, and learn of their joys and
of their sorrows," said Rev. E. Minter,
in his paper on Pastoral Management
Of the Church. before the meeting of
the Richmond Ministerial association
at the Y. M. c. A. this morning.
"The successful pastor is born and
not made" he said, and to manage a
pastorate successfully, is no lazy mans
job. 1t is great mistake to suppose
that the pastor can do all his work in
the pulpit and in the study room.
Preaching derives much from it's con.
nection with pastoral work, and any
neglect of this phase. is often a main
cause of ministerial inefficiency.
'The pastor must be viewed as a
preacher and as teacher, an admins.
traitor of divine ordinances, and his
conduct in life must be of such charac-
ter as will exemplify the highest ideal
of the Christian minister"
DR.. J. j. Rea, new pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, was elected to
membership in the association and was
made a member of the evangelistic
committee.

HOSPITAL REFUSES
DRUG FIEND VICTIMS

That the Reid Memorial hospital
cannot be used as an asylum for con

members Of the board of physicians OF
that institution.
One of the rules of the hospital is
that no incurable cases shall be treat
ed there" DR.. Kruger said.
DR.. Kruger stated, however, that in
his opinion any physician could have
admitted to the hospital a drug user
who had chance of being cured OF
the habit. The unfortunates who are

whether the township physicians had

ministered to them judiciously. I do
