TIE MINISTER'S SALARY


The most serious times for tie
ministers are now at hsna. Their
salaries remam the same as former
and pre-uzr years, and often times
neglected by their congregations.
Prices Rave doubled and IL many in
stances have more than doubled.
Wages for the common laborers, as
well as the salaries OF the men in
authority have advanced, but the
salaries Of the ministers remain as
Of former years.
This condition is driving ministers
to seek other employment. They
have their children to educate; they
have their families to keep. Are they
justified in this change? Yes, with
out a doubt they are, and unless the
churches awaken to their duty, the
great organizations Of the churches
will be weakened, and what has been
done in a grest measure viii have to
be done over agaiR. Here are oppor-
tgnities Fer the members of the d.
ferent churches to make sacrifices
along wsth the ministers and assist
them in advancing their salaries.
Tbs sacrifices are too great for them
