PREACHERS SALARIES.

Most preachers exc out their existence
on little salary, little charity and God
knows what else. Few of them receive &
living wage and it's the preacher in q
million who can save anything for old age.
That business man is counted failure
who only makes just enough to meet liv-
ing expenses, while ninetN-nine out Of ev-Ss
cry hundred preachers carry in their.
minds the never lessened burden .of
thought, the refrain Of which is, s. low am
/ to meet this months bills and the past
due bills?", AS for saving for the future,
it just isn't done among preachers. 81:
How is q preacher to do his best work
harassed by the bills of the butcher, the
baker and the candle stock maker? It can
not be done; and that Church handicaps:
itself in direct proportion as it adds the
worldly care of meeting the cost Of living
to the ecclesiastical burdens Of its pastor.
st. Paul was mighty frank in the matte
of q preacher freeing himself from world.
ly cares in order that he might assume
added churchly duties and if a preacher isS
to accomplish his best work, worldly cares,
insofar as is possible, must be lifted from
his shoulders. Adequate Compensation is
the least that congregation can do for
its pastor and, if the church is able, this
should be done without question
Some preachers have bravely, and what
amounts to almost rank heresy, taken d
firm stand for adequate compensation.
These preachers are to be commended and
if more preachers would take this stand it
would further the solution of the salary
question. Every preacher should receive
not tonly living wage but enough SO that
q small amount could be laid aside every.
year against that certain day of superan-
nuation- and charity s. ~ &.
The Lord will provide, but He will pro-
vide through the congregation and not in
pittances during years of active service 80
that when old age arrives, the preacher
becomes an object of semi charity.
If the Church is to be successful insti-
tuition and command the respect and rev.
erence of the world it cannot afford to
treat its leaders in niggardly fashion.
Barely living wages and less than living
wages are an insult to godly, courageous
men who faithfully labor for the up1ift of
mankind. The congregations themselves
suffer in the lessened efficiency of the
pastor and his dependents suffer directly
and the Church as whole suffers.

it's multitudinous metropolitan lures for
innocent youth.
From all of which we are led to believe
that Brother McKissick does not attend
the new Seceder Church in Greenvllle. else
he would know that the psalm singers are
here to call not the righteous but sinners
to repentance. The idea of the work to be
done is expressed in practical way in the
colloquy between two Irishmen. Pat had
come from Greenwood to spend Sunday
with his brother Mike Mike took the
visitor to the new Catholic Church, where
after the Priest and Mike had gone through
some of the setting up exercises now prac-
ticed in other churches besides the Catho-
lie, Pat declared: mike, this does beat

The Piedmont, it seems to us as pro-
2ressive newspaper should join in the
movement to give Erskine College great
er opportunity to accomplish fine work
among the people whose servant it is,
The Seceders at Due West, as one of the
trustees at meeting in Greenwood ex-
pressed it,, have too long tried to keep as
secret the fact that college is being run
at that place. In the twenty years in which
we have been an observer, not hundred
young men of Abbeville County outside of
those residing in Due West have been in
Erskine College, nor have they been asked
to attend that institution. If the college
were located in Abbeville, in addition to
the more than one hundred students which
this city would furnish to it's class rooms,
il is believed as many more would come
in from the surrounding country, as they
do to our fine High School, there to reap
some of the advantages which come from
a school Of higher learning. We might
lead the people Of the county to- believe
that all the young men and young women
who are growing up amongst Us are want
ed in the institution, and of right should
be there, rather than spread abroad in the
land an impression that only few may be
admitted: and these on suffrance.
A magnificent college building located
on one of the high hills about Abbeville,
overlooking this prosperous community,
with magnificent grounds for all college
activities and on. which to build and grow,
with the adjunct buildings which would
come and with a community behind the
college which believes in putting up the
cash would be an invitation to the other
eighteen hundred or more young men and
women Of the Associate Reformed Presby-
terian Church who are now being educated
elsewhere, or not educated at all, to- at
tend the institutions of their own people,
and the invitation would be such that not
one would elect to say it nay And what
finer opportunity could come to these
young men and women than the privilege
of dwelling for season amongst people
Of great attainments, fine ideals, and
amongst people who believe in progress
along all lines, especially along intellectu-
al lines?
So mote it be!

Miscellaneous, 1917 per cent.
The above report, however, failed
TO state who holds this chicken sur
plus. 80
But that isn't all!
Creamery butter in storage shows
an increase Of 300 per cent, while
packing stock butter gained 51.2 per
cent over the 1913 figures.
And while chickens were piling up
in storage, eggs were keeping pace.
Case eggs held March ! had increased
PSI per cent over a year ago. Frozen
eggs. however. showed a decrease Of
