In business parlance, he is the

that has from three hundred to

He cannot manage that bust

question of efficiency, for the

thoroughly equipped. This, in
turn, involves an outlay on his
part of time aud money. Why
should he not be regarded, in
these respects, as on tho same
footing with any other trained
man who handles a like amount
of capital and has to deal with
the same number of people? AT
the very least, why should he
not have the opportunity of pro-
viding for his old age Of non
productivity?
This is the evil. 1t is old, it
is aggravated, and it lis COM

crease in the cost of living,
and it has never received n 1.-THE

the cities it is worse, il pos

We have never thought of
but one way in which the poor
ly-paid city minister could be
better rewarded, and we are
not sure of that, We refer to a
possible reapportionment of the
membership of the churches. 1t
often happens, AS we have pre-.
vionsly pointed out that some
churches have an excess of
capable members. and, some.
times, a potential excess of
funds. 1t more frequently hap
pens that IA large church will
have in it no men of means
and few real leaders. Perhaps
if some of the members of the
rich church could be trans.

situation of the latter would be
greatly improved financially
and that of the former would
not be appreciably injured. The
better pay of ministers would

The Pay of Preachers.

When Bishop Lawrence stat
ed last evening that the average
salary of an Episcopal minister
ut about 81 200 per annum, he
was citing the statistics of a
church whose clergymen, as n
whole, probably receive more
reasonable return for their
labors than those of most
denominations, Even Mt that,
the bishops figures are n
sad commentary on the sup
posed generosity Of the Aneri-
eau people.
1t goes without the saying
that nine in ten of the men
who enter the ministry do so
without any thought of liberal
monetary reward. II it were
not so, most of the pulpits Of
the country would he vacant
aud their former occupants
would be out in the world max
ing II living-u decent living.
But even at this, the minister
must live us other men, aud, in
most communities, must set a
standard for his church. 1t is
4 well enough, for instance, to
7 talk of the humility Vt the
ministry, but if n preacher
dresses in the "seedy" gar.

be criticized for his careless APP.

the children will be patron

lot in life, If, again, the min.
istrr's wife dresses modestly, ii
will be Whispered that she is a
disgrace TO the church," and
if she dresses well, she will be
called extravaganza. Then, too,
the minister liz expected TO set
an example in giving, not
merely 10 the expenses of the
church but to every charity,
every philanthropy, every work
of his denomination, aud, in ad
dition, to every beggar who
comes with Il plant. Yet il
the minister so much as hints
that living il costly, and that
an increase in salary is de.
sirable he will be called mer
cenary. If he leaves one church
to go to another that pays a
larger salary, the unchariiable
will say he il seeking the

We have often observed il
some churches an unyieldint

Analysing the reasons we hav,
found that it rests upon sucl
nonsense as this: "The preacher

of homes. it is pretty good evidence OF
it's efficacy.

on the market since 1889, its use being

from optates or narcotic drugs, gentle
in its action and positive in effect. II
costs only fifty cents a bottle and can
be purchased in drug stores every
