Approaching Our Ministers

The current Literary Digest contains a
splendid review appreciative of the work of mod
ern ministers of the gospel. In part The Digest
says:
Breaking through tradition, which limited
him to the pulpit and to pastoral calls, the mod
ern minister has become more than a moral
guide and denouncer of sin and sinners and, in
turn, higher education and more varied train
ing are required of him. And contrary to very
widely held opinion, the preacher today-if he is
of the right SORTS a harder worker than his
fathers.
Whereas our fathers rode their circuits
preaching the same sermon to four congregations
in two or four weeks, as the same circuit might
require, writes the Rev. w. G. Poole in the New
York Times, The modern minister breaches to
the same congregation twice every Sunday and
holds midweek service, requiring $50 sermons
and addresses year, besides those used in a
month or more of evangelistic work, and one or
more outside sermons and addresses a week to
help churches not his own.
"The writer submits this as "a daily program
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1922-01-19

for thousands of ministers in the United States:
Seven to o'clock, clean up correspondence
from desk; 8 to 8, research work; 9 to II, study;
to 5, pastoral work, making ten to twenty calls
evening, church organizations, prayer meeting
and special addresses.
Il know one minister who averages every
year 5000 pastoral calls, 800 sermons and adj
dresses, 1000 letters pertaining to church work,
membership, etc.. 80 evangestic meetings in his
own church. 200 changes in membership, 40
funerals, so baptisms, 100 meetings of various
church organizations, $4,000 raised for church
benevolences, 1000 telephone calls answered. 100
jobs obtained for members out of work. In addi-
ton, he acts as his chauffeur for his own flivver
and keeps it in running order
more difficult tests are placed on the modern
minister's mental equipment. The growing in
telligence of the people, says the writer, will not
permit repetition and triteness as in the days of
our fathers.
The old preacher a strong negation.
Thou shalt not, was his favorite text. The pres
ent generation of preachers has added the Cos
pei of constructive religion They use the
Beatitudes and the life of Jesus as an example
for others more freely than their elders. David's
Psalms of wrath have given way to the thirteenth
chapter of First Corinthians.
"'The minister of today is constantly build
ing and constructing good that crowds out evil
planting institutions and organizations which are
changing home conditions, social and government
conditions Where his father pointed out the
evil he has gone forward and suppanted it with
good.'"

Three years before she made her oper-
attic debut in 1898 she married Sid
ney Homer, noted as a composer. The
match was pure love affair of the
first order, and while she came to fame
later, she never let it interfere with
the business of being the presiding
genius of a home.
Nine. Homer is a native Of Pittsburg
and the daughter of real American
family. As Miss Louise Dilworthy
Beatty she went to Paris to study,
and there met her husband. AZ
ter beginning in opera in Paris,
singing in London and Brussels, she
came TO her own country, where she
disproved the ancient fallacy that an
American hasn't an even chance by
taking the leading contralto roles at
the Metropolitan in 1901. Since that
time she has been a fixture there.

saw" says Grandma, land l can tell
