drcn expected 10 look particularly pleasant at all
times, and to put front" that hasn't wrinkle Of

Those preachers who receive 1880, or $50 a week,
are looked by many persons as being among the
clerical putocrats. while the 5000 or 5000 man is
regarded by those persons being ecclesias-

The fact Of the matter that there are few preachers
on Peninsula who receive the pay they should re-
ceive at any time, and particularly in wartime when
the prices OF all the necessares Of life ebnormaly
high.
The time is coming. and It is almost here when
those who hold church purse-strings must loosen up
and deal more literally with their preachers lose
them. The business world Is after smart and taetful
men, and preachers who support and educate fami-
lies from $40 to $50 week and present contented
and smiling faces 20 the world while they doing IT,
must be both smart and tactful
