BERLIN PREACHER
PAID IN CORN
This Was Rev. John Rankin and
The Time Was 1879. Times
Were Not Prosperous.

In view of the present interest
manifested in the Importance Of in
crcasing ministerial salaries on ac-
of lifc'S necessities. a copy of an an
cicnt document relative to this sub
jcct, which has recently been placed
in the Presbyterian Historical Socic
Is, Philadelphia. will be given more
than passing attention.
The date of the paper is June 27,
1879. Due to the Revolutionary War,
which was then prevailing, somewhat
similar living conditions existed as
our ministers are now facing. Rev.
John Rankin had been the spiritual
leader Of the Buckingham (BerlinD,
Maryland. and the Black Water, Della
ware, churches little more than year.
The people early saw that his com
pensation was not sufficient to meet
the demands made upon him, and
made an effort to increase il. Such 4
fine sense of honor and justice had its
fitting reward and the pastoral rela-
ton ptovcd a most happy one. Mr.
Rankh spent his entire ministerial
life 18th this gcncreu, and apprc-
ciati,o people. He died on March 2,
l19S. II the age of forty-eight. An
interesting biographical sketch of him
appears in the third volume Of
Spragues Annals of the American
Pulpit"
The old subscription paper follows:
AS we profess ourselves Christians
and members of the church of Christ.
we must certainly consider the preach
ing of the Gospel and the regular dis
pensation of divine ordinances as
necessary. and that those who are
faithfully employed in the sacred
office should be dccently supported. 1t
our currency has for some time rem
dcrcd our contributions for the sup
port of the Reverend John Rankin
very inadequate to his labors in the
Gospel; and. therefore. to remedy this
evil and encourage his continuance
amongst Us. it is judged most cXped-
lent for him and US that his salary
be- paid at the old rate, and rs corn
is the prevailing article in this place,
il will always be the best standard;
and. therefore, those who are willing
to contribute anything for the above
mentioned purpose, are requested to
subscribe their quota in corn, at Il
half crown per buShel, TO be paid
yearly, at some convenient place. II
any subscriber. or subscribers, do not
have the corn To spare, the current
price in money at the time of dcliv-
cry will be accepted.
Agreeable to this plan, we, the sub
Scribers, do promise to be paid to the
Rev. John Rankin. or his order, our
several quantities of corn annexed To
our names, or the amount in money at
the current price, annually, on the
first day of June. rs long as he remain
our stated minister and regular
member of Lewcs Prcsbytcry. H. r.

Mr.. Allies said Washington should
be the greatest inclusive city club
in the world. He declared, however.
it would be necessary to make some
tremendous strides if the city would
wrest the h9nors from Havana.
Cuba.
IN Cuba there are $4,000 club

isn't bad in city of about 350.000
inhabitants. One club known as
Centre Gallego has a membership of
$4,000. 1t occupies magnificent

and includes beneficiary organiza-

members who have the misfortune
to go insane. OF. course it is not
likely that in Washington We will
copy this club in detail. but this
shows to what extent club life can
go in caring for the interests of
community.
''Centro Gallego has a ballroom in
which 5000 couples can dance with

II has bath rooms, the largest bill

rooms. great and small dining rooms
and all things necessary to make
club life worth while.
Now if Havana can do these great
things for the benefit Of its citizens
why cannot Washington. though
perhaps in n modified way, do some
thing equally fine?"
Mr.. Allies and the bankers serving
with him are all associated with Vic
tory-Liberty Loan campaign and with
other improvements.
Mr.. Allies Is also on the executive
committee that is directing the Sal
walton Army Home Fund drive. But
he said he would find time to attend
to all three. A busy man is the man
to call upon when it is necessary TO
have a job done, Mr.. Allies said.

to forget that he was tired and
needed a rest.
Major Scott and Mr.. Rudolph have
each worked very hard since the out
break of the war and at tasks which
could bring them no personal gain.
They are each. however. ready to

Declaring that the success of the
plan of the Commercial Club to eX-

would keep in active service until
the project to build a $1,000. 900
club house is realized.
But the chairman of the finance
committee said the views OF the

the end be very much larger than
originally contemplated. the club

program provides for.

"In other words" said Mr.. Allies
Eve will probably make a re-survey
of the situation. When 1t was first
determined to branch out and make
the old club a more serviceable in
stitution to the city it was thought
that the plan to build at n total cost
of Sl,OOo,0OO would about meet the sit
uation. And perhaps it will.
But I ain somewhat inclined to
think that with the further contem-
plation of this scheme our vision will
become enlarged and we will do
greater things than we dared to even
dreams of in days gone by
Mr.. Allies called attention to the
fact that members of the executive
committee are swamped with appli,

and from cities outside of Washing
