LET EACH CHURCH INCREASE
THE PAY GIFTS MINISTER

By Monday evening the ministers attending the Methodist
annual conference will beon their way to their homes. The ses-
sions, extending over the greater part of a week, have been filled
with enthusiasm from which the ministers have received a new.
inspiration. for the work that lies before them in the Masters
vineyard.
Many of them 60 into new fields of endeavor. Some of them
will turn from familiar scenes and pleasant associations lasting,
in some cases, over a period of four happy years, which, hence
forth, will be but a cherished memory.
They must make new friends, become acquainted with new
n~eighbors and adapt themselves to new surroundings. 1t is not
a strange thing to these men. 1t comes to each of them at least
every four years, and in some instances more frequently,
The officers of the individual church fix the pay of the min
lister, The Methodist denomination is large, strong and influential.
Its membership comes from all ranks and classes. The high cost
OF living is apparent to everyone. 1t is one Of the real burdens
of the wage Garner and the salaried man.
The ministers have been told that they are to receive a lv.
ing salary. Now it is up to the $4,000 Methodists represented
at the conference to see that they get it.
There is going to be no let-up in their activity The min
lister OF any denomination is subject to call at any hour, day
or night. The circuit rider and the pastor of the large city
church render the same service. Each is proportionately paid
or u~nderpaid.
Ministers have families, grocery bills, merchandise bills and
expenses Ike other people. The minister's wife likes to reflect
credit upon her husband, and help him by taking part in various
church activities. She likes to dress we'll, Her children need
nourishing food,
Few persons outside the ministry and those who have read
Cora Harris The Circuit Riders Wife know the struggle, the
anguish and the hardship Of the minister's wife,
No matter how spiritually minded a minister may be, il he
i haunted BY the face Of a sick child, the picture Of a fral wife
doing the housework and trying to keep up appearances, and
confronted with debt and nc, relief in sight, he cannot give to his
work the best that IS an him.
Then there is the superannuated minister, the man who per-
haps has given all OF the best years Of a long and useful life TO
the Cause, relieved OF his pastorate and pensioncd on two or
three hundred dollars a year, 1t isn't fair. 1t isn't just. Not all
OF the reward for a lie OF sacrifice should be in the great and
mysterious beyond,
There is not a minister in the Memphis conference receiving
within $1,000 a year OF what is required to enable him to live
in keeping with his high calling, The same is true of ministers
OF other denominations
Now that the conference year has ended we should like tc
see each church make a new start by increasing the pay of its
minister, There isn't one among them who does not deserve it
Start the new conference year right by doing this for the preacher
1t will be a good investment. =

DeacOns Sunday

BY REV, JOHN LANoDoN WE6EF
Saturday was a busy day with tn.
Methodist conference, but Sunday will
be the big day. 1t will be the preach
ing day and many of the pulpits of
Memphis will be filled by Methodist
preachers, 1t is a day that is looked
forward to with no small interest by
many Of the good people called Metho-
dists. The bishop breaches at IL
o'clock and after an appropriate ser
mon oRdains those who have been
elected deacons. This is an interesting
and impressive ceremonial.
Methodist bishops are always strong
men in the pulpit. They are the picked
men of the church and their messages
are ~received as coming from those
charged with the leadership Of the
church. Bishop Atkins is n of the
most effective of the bishops n he is
a most attractive preacher. st. Johns
church will be packed to its utmost
capacity with an audience eager 10 hear
the good bishop.
lust before the preaching service the
conference love feast will be held. This
Is one Of the institutions peculiar to
great religious feeling especially as the
veteran preachers tell of their faith
and of their hopes. The distinctive
feature OF the service Is the relating OF
religious experiences. The old-time
shout Ia ever yet often heard at these
services and there are few dry eyes as
these stories are related, One Of the
~superannuates is generally chosen to
preside. DR., Mahon or Or. Jones' or
Brother G, II. Martin are favorite men
to preside at these meetings.
