army to visit them tells the share
they gave him in home affairs. But
it was upon the boys head that the
Prophet poured the amounting oil and
changed thereby the course of his
tory. There is no hint that anyone
knew the office to which he was that
day dedicated, but the boy knew that
something had happened and that
from henceforth he was to follow the
lead of Jehovah whithersoever it
might guide. "The Spirit of the Lord
came upon him from that day."
CHARACTER CONTENT
Some elements of this mans char
acter are as open as the day. No one
ever doubted his courage that dared
face wild beasts and wild men una
fraid. The Goliah picture has taken
captive the heart of youth thru all
the centuries. But there was a su-
perb patience coupled with it that
held him to his unhurried way to-
ward a fixed goal as steadily as the
sun. He expected to be chief ruler
and greatly desired it, but he would
not brush aside Saul to secure it..
When he attained the sovereignty of
Judah, for seven years he watched
the forces slowly work out the de-
struction of the rival empire until
the hour arrived when he could as
sumo the leadership of all the land.
"A man who knows how to wait may
have anything he wants." hints at a
real truth. Suppose Riley had stop
ped writing poetry after twenty
years of unsuccessful effort to get
into print, how much poorer Ameri-
can letters would have been What
if Cyrus ". Field had grown discour-
aged over the failure of the Allan
tic cable or Judah P Benjamin over
the across-the--cOntinent railway?
David had the same characteristic.
So had Paul, Wesley, Washington,
Lincoln and every other who has left
an enduring mark upon the life of
the world.
David was a statesman. He was
a son Of Judah with which tribe the
equally strong Mannassites and Eph-
raimites were constantly at odds 70
cover such a situation that spelled
disaster for the ship Of state, as it
did ultimately bring disruption and
final overthrow, David enlisted all in
a campaign against Jerusalem and
move his capital to the place of unit
ed conquest. Then in addition to
making this common pride center in
the place as a political head, he util-
lied the strong MISUNDERSTANDING
the Hebrews to make it the heat Of
their worship also. Tactfully, care
fully taking account of the varied
differences, he built a real empire
that felt its destiny and high call to
serve And the fame he lit from his
own glowing soul was devotion to Je-
hovah so that religion owes him an
imperishable debt.

SALARIES OF MINISTER'S.

class in the general readjustment ol
wages ana salaries made necessary by
the increased cost of living during the
past ten years.
1t is true that many of the churches
have been moved TO do their duty and
have increased the salaries of their
pastors. But the cases Of hardships
are still numerous and the comparison
OF the money returns Of clergymen
with those of skilled and even casual
laborers reveals some astonishing
disparjties. The writer in The Homi.
letic Review reduces the figures to a
weekly basis and gets some surprising
results. Thus the average weekly saI-
ary OF minister Of the Baptist Church
is $25 But even hod-carrier gets NOR
than $50 while a mason gets s5f. :
bricluayer s55 and so on. These late:
figures, be it noted are also the aver.

knows that the rates in various cities
are very much higher. II would seem
obvious that both justice to self-sacr

the dignity of their profession duly
impressed upon the churches would
lead to further steps toward maxine
the salaries of clergymen more nearly
