can afford to pay, but in the cases of
the other churches it is a very pre-
carious living for any man to attempt.
If the churches could be combined so
that one pastor at good salary could
be secured and so that when he was
in the pulpit he could be assured of a
moderately sized congregation, it
surely would be move in the right
direction and one which should have
the support of all the Protestant
people of the district. A meeting will
be called in the near future to give
