TODAY'S
THOUGHT
PROGRESSIVE PETERSBURG

The congregation of a
Methodist Church in Peters
burg, Va, is building a new
house Of worship. When it
is ready for dedication, it is
said that provision will be
made for a pastors salary OF
$4,000 per annum, in addi-
ton to which an assistant
will be employed who will
have the routine pastoral
work in charge, thus leaving
his chief free to devote HIM
self to his sermons. We be-
lieve this is a step in the
right direction, at least SO
far as the salary is concern
ed.
There are two professions
in this country that have al
ways been VIGOROUSLY un-
derpaid-the teaching and
the preaching profession.
This is due to several rea-
sons, no doubt, and while at
one time they might have
had a valid excuse, the
changes of time and custom
have rendered most of them
obsolete. For instance, IN
the old colonial days, when
money was scarce, it was the
practice of the parishloners
to furnish the food, the cloth,
the leather, and many items
besides, needed by the pastor
in his daily life. Again, the
value of money in the ola
DAYS was far greater than
now, or for many years past.
That is to say, that a dollar
then would buy more flour,
bacon, meat, eggs, cloth or
leather than it will today, OF
for the past fifty years. AS
for the teachers, they were
"boarded round in the
families during the school
term, and in the vacation
months left to shift to other
employment as best they
might.
Now, teachers and preach
ers are proverbially modest;
a virtue that has not been It's
own reward in this instance,
but just the contrary. In adj
dition, the lack of business
training initiated likewise
against their looking out tor
their own interests; and
while all other salaries and
wages and enloluments have
been steadily advanced
through the years, theirs
have remained, if not sta
tionary, still far behind
those Of other vacations.
So that, today, as stated,
they are probably the least
paid and the hardest-worked
of those Of any vocation
known to modern ciylIlza-
ton.
This Petersburg move
seems to us, therefore, II
the right direction. We
shall watch it with interest,
,and hope it is merely the
fore-runner Of many other

NEW FRENCH MONEY IS !

The authorities evidently made a

For some mystifying reason in the
last fortnight few silver coins have
been appearing in general circulation
after more than two years absence.
The banks claim that they are not
issuing any silver, and are unable to
explain the sudden appearance of sill,

two franc pieces in silver have been
so rare that residents have, not seen
more than one or two pieces in circu-
lation in the past year. All ordinary
business is transacted with paper
