while he served as comptroller of the
household OF the Duke Of Connaught,
when governor general of Canada.
Since graduating from Oxford, Lord
Richard, who is a bachelor, has spent
comparatively little of his time in
England. He has served as private
secretary and aide-de-camp, first of all
to the governors of Victoria and OF
South Australia and afterwards to
successive governors general of the
Australian commonwealth, besides
acting as the comptroller of their
household. 1t was because of his tact
and powers of organization in this
respect that the Duke of Connaught
would not rest until he had secured
his services in a similar capacity at
Ottawa, where he ran the entire estab-

Rural Churches and Preachers

Two writer's who have made study of the
rural church from the standpoint of the mental
equipment of the pastor who serves it, have con-
Guided that members Of the laity in the farming
communities excel the ministers in intellectual
equipment Their finding originally printed in
The Outlook and reviewed in The Literary
Digest, is 'the culture of the pew has risen out
of all proportion to the training of the pulpit
Conclusions of this kind sometimes rest on
superficial data that will not stand close scrutiny
but in the main the. facts serve to focus atten-
ton to a situation which has given church
leaders cause for worry. Some of the surveys
disclose the following says The Literary Digest:
"In three Indiana counties, ~ per cent OF the
ministers do not have a college and seminary
training, 81 per cent do not have college educa-
tion 81 per cent have not been to high school.
In southeastern Ohio IN counties where only 25
per cent of the churches are growing. one-third
of the ministers have nothing more than an ele-
mentary education, over one-half have not gone
beyond The high school, while only 16 per cent
have both college and seminary training. Of
three counties in Missouri having $50 churches,
only two ministers reside in the county, and one
of these is a superannuated preacher almost il
literate In the same section the investigators
found rural school Of the modern type, prize
stock farms, a crowded normal school, and, in
general an intelligent and extremely alert citizen

Investigators to support their thesis, the UNDER
lying thought was that the rural church is suf-
fering from lack of trained leadership and that
its decadence cannot be ascribed entirely to a
loss of spirituality among the people living on
farms and in small rural communities.
And, on the other hand, the authors of the
thesis emphatically say that the rural districts
cannot get along without spiritual leaders.
There is no escaping the fact that, whatever
the country may be able to do in the future they
are at present neither able to walk securely with
out spiritual leaders nor to develop such leaders
among themselves" they declare. Elsewhere
they say, 1--WE found, not only churches in all
parts of the country, but prosperous commune
ties, suffering from every degree of ministerial
neglect"
The alleged ministerial neglect of many COM
munities may be ascribed to two general causes:
First, the paucity of trained ministers, and sec
ondly, the unwillingness of congregations to pay
their ministers adequate and living wages.
A minister must receive adequate remunera-
ton in his calling if results are to be obtained.
Wdeawake young men are not going to enter the
ministry if they know that they will hardly be
able to exc out living the small salaries that
are paid to them The calling is not an easy one.
The demands made on a modern minister are as
exacting as those made on the members of other
professions. The fact that few sons of minis
tiers adopt the professional career of their faith
ers shows that the calling is neither a snap nor
a highly paid one.
The calibre Of ministers in the rural districts
will rise no higher than the salaries which the
congregations are willing to pay, and only a few
candidates will prepare for the ministry so dong
as clergymen are paid exceedingly small salar-
les for their training and experience.
Few young men are willing to spend four
years in college and three in a seminary, making
seven years of academic and professional train
ing, to enter profession whose average yearly
pay is about $500 in the United States.

An astonishing feat is to lay the tip
of a cigarette on the edge of the table
with the remainder hanging over the
edge and leave it balanced there.
The cigarette must previously be pre-
pared. Remove some of the tobacco
and insert a short piece of metal at the
tip. Then replace enough tobacco to
make the cigarette appear ordinary.
Naturally, the weight of the cigarette is
now all at one end. and it can easily
be balanced as described above.
