PULPIT APPRECIATED MORE

Slowly but surely the church world
is being brought TO realize that its
spiritual guides are members of a
profession who are entitled TO re-
Enumeration and privileges attainable
10 those who have aSlieved success
in the professions of medicine or law.
There is growing tendency to recog-
nize ability. There is many man
in the pulpit. who through inherent or
acquired ability, would he capable of
achieving a far greater measure of
financial or material success in other
field Of endeavor.
This tendency upon the part Of the
church world to adequately remun-
erate-or at least make the attempt
those who have dedicated their lives
to the cause OF Christianity. is demon
strated by the fact that several pas
tors Of downtown churches are now on
vacations that the pastors of early
days would believe could be enjoyed
only by one who had chosen a profess
sion other than theirs.
DIR. $. II. c. Burgin. pastor OF
Laurel Heights Methodist Church. and
his wife are making an extended four

ranean countries. The Rev. Arthur

overland trip TO the Pacific coast.
The Rev. II. c. Leonard, pastor of
Trinity Methodist Church, has recently
returned from a visit TO Ohio. The
Rev. Casper s. Wright, presiding elder
Of the San Antonio district conference,
has made an overland trip TO Georgia.
Other pastors are now absent from
San Antonio upon their sumner vaca-
tons.
These men have com, or will come
back to their pulpits with broadencd
vision. They have taken the antidote
for narrow provincialism and short
sighted bigotry. They will come back
to their pulpits refreshed by their
experiences. Reinvigorated mentally
and physically they can reassume their
positions as spiritual guides with
heightened enthusiasm.
This is the belief Of DIR. p. y. Hill,
pastor of the First Presbyterian
Church. Due to the building program
Of the First Presbyterian Church,
DIR. Hills vacation has been unavoid-
ably cut short this summer. DIR. Hill
however, is eagerly looking forward
to q ten-day vacation that he intends
to take within the near future.

meanlno of The Christmas Tree.

Most of the quaint old customs
handed down from previous genera
tions, have originally a very pretty
meaning. So it is in regard to our
Christmas trees Most parents would
say that they provide tree merely
because it is pretty and pleases the
children, buth it originally had more
meaning than that.
The early Christians took over
many features of the ancient pagan
festivals to make their observances
pleasing. Christmas drew many Gus.
toms from the Yule festivals, when
the ancient Germans and other peo.
Pile celebrated the time when the sun
turns northward and the hope OF
springtime returns. The evergreen
decorations in those days probably
expressed the desire for the return
of vegetation and the period of life
and growth.
A Christmas tree loaded wifi gifts
now suggests the revival of life that
comes from the inspiration of Jesus
also the spirit of giving to others that
ought to characterize all Christian
peoples
