 No charge was made for rooms oc- cupied by the educators in the girls dormitory, and their boarding accom- modations were provided at cost, mak- ing their stay here inexpensive. A fund donated by the Conway Commer- cial Club and the business men of the city provided for their railroad fare. MT. Bond some time ago publicly thanked the donors to this fund. Eff forts will be made to have the next legislature provide for whatever neces- sary expense attached to the school, and no appeal will be made to any one for assistance.

THE PREACHERS SALARY

Quite a number Of our churches
have sufficient religion in their make
up to see to it that the minister re-
ceives his salary. The women are
generally the leaders in real church
work but the men have usually
keen enough sense of justice TO
write a check so that the minister
may pay his debts and thus be able
to look the whole world in the face
However, there exist churches
whose people are pleased to call
themselves Christians and whose
little boys and girls are sent relIg-
iously to Sunday Sshool so that they
may grow up and be credit to
the parents who are so eyerlastingly
tight that they will let the minister
and his family live on cold water
and sky shavings and piOusly call
themselves members of their parti-
cular church.
Dead branches every one of them,
even while they live. Men and wo-
men who accept the ministrations
of man. who, were he to turn to
other pursuits, might make several
fold the salary he receives as
preacher. and yet fail to live up to
their promises to support him and
the church, should call to mind what
happened to Auanias and Sapphira
when they were convicted of hold
ing back a portion of what they
had promised to give.
Preachers are used to compare
tive poverty, >...--l flocks have seen
to that but no man who is acting
as the minister of a bunch of church
people should be deprived of one
cent of his salary thru stinginess.
We cannot take it with us and what
the majority gives wont hurt.
That's right! Write your check
and vow. never again will | forget
