FEW HAVE SO
MUCH TODO
Demands Upon Him Have
Multiplied Since the
Simpler Days.


II you are walking along the
street one OF these bright fall
mornings and meet the pastor of
your church; if you smile and nod
to him and watch him pass you
without sign of recognition on his
face, don't think he i. trying to
snub you and go home to tell your
wife that he is either very high and
mighty, or else he has a poor mem
ory. For if your preacher is one
OF those who try to answer every
call made on him, the chances are
he is making most of the opportun-
ity to compose what he is going to
say to you from the pulpit Sunday
morning.
The days are past, ministers say,
when a preachers mornings were
supposed to be sacred to him, when
he used to go into his study after
breakfast and read Shakespeare and
Homer and Dante and Bacon until
he was mentally full of things to
pour out again before his congrega-
ton. In the older days he used,
perhaps, to call all during the pleas
ant afternoon, drinking innumerable
cups of tea and sampling all the
best cakes made in the parish.
Nowadays our minister's tele-
phone rings at 6 O'Clock of
cold, gray Monday morning; some
one needs his advice, sympathy or
aid, and he gets out to hustle for
the rest of the week. If he keeps
his hours for study. it is by means
of ironclad rules laid down for the
rest of the family to observe in the
matter of callers and telephone
calls. "By that plan | invariably
see all the people in the end" said
one minister, who has served many
years and is beloved of many peo-
pie.
The minister of today is a
preacher, a parson, as always, but
he is also great deal more. He
is the head of an institution just as
much as the chief executive Of
great industry" said one minister
who has the downtown" problem
to cope with, and the institution
must adapt itself to the needs of its
surrounding community" Con-
certs, mems luncheons, rest rooms,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, missionary
societies and private theatricals,
in all of these the minister must
take and active interest and know
something of what is going on or be
branded behind the times.
Do All Sorts of Things.
Then there is the ever pressing
side of church life, the economic
side. The morning after a trustees
meeting the minister is apt to be
bit irritable with his secretary-the
most businesslike men have secre-
tarics these days--and dismiss her
rather abruptly when she implores
him to sign this or that Although
every church has treausur who is
supposed to keep the financial affairs
of the organization in trim, every
real live minister is very much in
terested and often devotes much
time to the money problems of his
church. ........
AS to his own financial problems
ut isn't the minister, it's his wife"
said one experienced pastor, in re-
Omaha daily bee., 1919-11-23
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE-

don't blame the minister for gas
tronomic weaknesses. Think of the
numerous recipes for cake which he
must test and the style of cookery
he must approve OIL
The minister's salary varies as
widely as does the architecture of
the church in which he breaches.
From 5000 to $1,000 is the range.
To some is added the rent of par
sonage, but not in most cases. The
average salary of minister is lit
tie over $1,000, although some are
receiving $1,000, and very few in
the country get salaries mounting
into six figures.
A minister's salary is proportion
ate to the means of his parishioners,
of course, and not to his ability.
Thus the choice OF college for the
minister's son may depend on
whether one or two wealthy men
in the vicinity of his church decide
to be Baptists or Congregationalists
or Methodists. But there are COM
pensations. From the time OF the
Puritons it has been customary to
bring the parson gifts of apprecia-
ton and of late the gifts" have
sometimes come on four wheels.
bringing with them the odor of
gasoline. Many ministers drive
automobiles presented to them by
their Pensioners.
Sometimes a minister finds that
he can be of more real help to people
who never 60 to church at all than
to the more comfortable and
sheltered members of his own par
ish. A minister is not so very much
surprised to be called at $50 in the
morning to go and baptize dying
child of parents who have never set
foot inside Of a church, but he is
mildly astonished, perhaps to receive
a request from some man in a dis
tant city to hunt up and write him
information concerning another man
whom the pastor has never seen.
Then there is the weight of private
troubles which the pastor must
carry. Lots of people whom |
meet on the street would be shocked
if they knew what / know about
them, people who have no idea who
| am," said one minister the other
day. One of the hardest things a
minister has to face is the load of
secret troubles which he is helping
many people to bear. Yet the ma
jority of ministers welcome this al
trustic suffering as one of the rich
est opportunities which their min
istry brings them.
Funerals are perhaps the greatest
