A MAN WHO KNOWS

Our city council is to be proud of
lawmakers. They create more of n
dream than law, putting ban on the
Denver Post for giving away presents
and claim that the merchants complain
what poor excuse. They ought to
be n Post in every larger city in the
Union. You certainly must put ban
on the people and make law that
giving anything away is a crime.
Don't give, in the future, to any char
ity, church or anything else you can
think of, otherwise our city council
will make laws and our people that
better in town than our Post paper.
They are not afraid to express their

1t is frequently insisted by some
workingmen that ministers of the gos-
pei receive exhorbitant salaries. 1t is
true that in some cities there are a
few ministers who receive large sal
aries. but the 100000 or more minis
tiers tiruout the United States receive
less. on an average, than the average
mechanic. Thousands of them receive
less than $40 a week. The average
minister spends fifteen years in school,
college and seminary, in preparation
for his life's work, meanwhile paying
for his own support, while the hod-
carrier who may not be able to read
or write, receives more for his years
work-even tho he learned his trade
in day, and on that day received
higher wages than the fully equipped
minister.
Meanwhile the demands upon the
minister are of such nature that he
has the greatest difficulty in living up
to the high standard which everybody
expects of him. He must wear better
clothes: he must live in n better house;
he must buy more books; he is ex-
pected to contribute more to charitable
institutions and movements than the
most highly skilled mechanic in his
church.
Furthermore, during these years of
preparation, and because he mingles
with the best educated men in the
community. his ethical tastes have
been cultivated to such a degree that
it is very difficult for man of fine

things in life. He must keep up to
the times. socially and intellectually.
To do this, he must attend lectures,
travel great distances at his own ex-
pense to attend meetings of minis
tiers of his denomination, both state
and national. He is expected to per-
form vast service in the community
for which he receives no pay.

stares him in the face. The average

He has not been able to save any

other task which, at best, must be dis

trials, the average minister goes on.
year after year, uncomplaining. He
spent fifteen years in preparation for
his work, knowing full well Just what
was before him.
You may not agree with the preach
er's theology. You may think that he
does not know as much about the labor
question as you do-for which per-
haps he is partly to blame-but any
fairminded man will at least respect
him for his devotion to a cause which
has for its sole purpose the uplifting
of the community and the leveling up
of the standard of living of all the
people.
