OVERSUPPLY OF MINISTERS
Preaching Positions Once More in De-
mand in Kansas.

preaching positions are once more
in demand" according to the Rev
John 3. Gonzales, president of the
Kansas Congregational conference.
The Kansas Congregational confer
ence while not primarily a ministers
placement bureau. is nevertheless a
clearing house for Congregational
churches in Kansas. and the Rev.
Gonzales is constantly in communi-
cation with churches desiring pastors,
and pastors desiring churches
I attribute the over-supply of min
listers to two facts said the Rev. Con
zaIes. I'm the first place churches
and church people are expecting and
getting better trained ministers. This
results in many of the older men find
ing themselves out of employment, as
they do not possess sufficient train
ing. Then today many ministers who
two or three years ago were engaged
in Y. NJ. c. A. work OF business, are
endeavoring to gain readmittance into
church work. During the war a de-
mand for Y. NJ. c. A. workers was
created. This demand does not exist
today. At about the same time the
business field called many ministers
Wages were high in that field and
eorrespondinsly low in the ministry.
Now the backward swing is occurring.
Wages in the business fields are de-
creasing, and wages paid church
workers are fairly high. Preachers
are human and have to live"
According to the Rev. Gonzales, the
average yearly salary paid to the
Congregational ministers of Kansas is
1900. we are trying to keep the
average TO $500 a year, including
a house" he said.
Ministers in other parts of the
United States seem to desire to locate
in Kansas, according to the Rev. Con
zales. Four applications for positions
were recently received by the Kansas
organization in two days. asd large
number of applications are constantly
on file.
