The failure to take proper care OF

Intentional i'm either country. /,
springs from sort of carelessness of
things not right under ones nose
The school teacher who suffers un-
der-payment too long simply leaves
and enters another profession. The
minister usually too proud to con-
fess his actual state to his parishion
ers lest it look like begging. and with
his mind keenly cognizant of his
Masters poverty. suffers in silence to
the breaking point.
The cooperative publicity pro-
vided by the Clerical Union of Eng

deal. There will /be no loss of self
respect about it.

come to realize the need of those
who serve them so faithfully and self
denyingly, through joy and sorrow,
