EQUAL PAY FOR MINISTERS

The Rev. Oscar F. Green, of Palo
Alto, Calf, raised a nice point before the
triennial convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church recently meeting at Gin
cinnati.
Calling attention to survey of salaries
Of 800 ministers in four States, showing a
range from $500 to $720, Mr.. Green de
clared that this disparity of income is
''jeopardizing our missionary program.
He could think of nothing that would
make greater impression on the world
and bring more persons to the fact of
Christ than an effort on our part to show
that as Christian ministers we are a
brotherhood willing to share and share
alike
There is much to what this California
minister says He adds, I'VE do not stay
on the job where we are most useful, but
we strive to find a place of higher pay
we have envied those with large salaries
and worshipped at the altar of Mammon."
The effect of share and share
alike example upon the thought of the
public would be amazing and, no doubt,
work to the advancement of what the
ministers refer to as "the Kingdom. OF
this we are sure but, at the same time,
there are difficulties to be solved and de-
tails to be ironed out in the event that any
great church undertakes to carry out Mr..
Green's suggestion
That there are ministers in all de-
nominations who work nobly upon pit
tances, doled out to them by their com,
munities, is a fact That there are, unfor-
tunately, in all denominations. ministers
who keep their eyes on the main chance is
also fact. However, the vast majority
of the ministers in the nation deserve the
praise and the sympathy of the people
everywhere.
This does not dispose of the sug-
gested share and share alike compensa-
ton for ministers. In fact, the suggestion
should be carried out In the military and
naval services of the United States COM
pensation is based upon length of service,
very largely, rather than upon positions
held or services rendered The churches
could base their pay scale along some
what similar lines.

DoDCING TROUBLE

Any player who carries the ball on a
football gridiron will tell US that it is
easier to dodge one tackler than it is to
dodge two or three. The same principle
holds good in lodging trouble of any
kind
But majority of the United States
Senate appears to think that this common
sense idea does not apply to keeping out
of the way of freight trains. The Senate
has passed bill limiting the length of
such trains to 20 cars, ostensibly as a
safety measure. But this would really
mean more trains. and consequently more
danger.
To emphasize the absurdity of this
proposed law. it may be noted that since
1928 the average length of trains has in
creased 16 per cent and the speed has in
creased 45 per cent, yet the frequency of
accidents has decreased 81 per cent during
the same period.
Enactment of this bin into law would
increase danger, increase the cost of oper-
ating the railroads. and inevitably lead to
higher freight rates. The bin is indefen-
sible on any grounds, and it should be
killed when it comes before the House.

KEY WEST IN DAYS GONE BY
Happenings Here just Ten Years Ago Today As Taken
From The Files OF The Citizen

A new all-time record for quick
train trips between New York and
Key West was established this
morning when the first Of two
special trains, bearing some $50
members of the Passenger Traffic
Officers Association of the Unit
ed States and Canada reached the
city. This train, which carried
passenger officials from all over
the United States, left New York
Friday afternoon, reached Jack
sonville yesterday afternoon in
22 hours and Is minutes, which is
almost two hours less than the
regular running time. The trav-
elers were from the eastern sec
ton of the states. The second
special with passengers from the
western section OF the states was
made up in Jacksonville and fol-
lowed the first at short interval.
Arrivals on both trains sailed on
S. S. Cuba this morning for Ha-
yana where they will remain UNI

1t seemed strange, Billy Wheeler
thought, that the old king of cattle,
the nan who could not only dream a
COW kingdom but make it live, was
to be found standing here in two
by-four jail. Yet, within the black
shadows of concrete and steel Horse
Dunn lowered bigger than ever,
straighter than ever; he seemed,
not an old man at the end of his
rope, but young giant, easy in his
strength. The great sense of latent
power that radiated from Horse
Dunn made it seem that he only
waited here within these cramped
walls because he wilfully used his
own great body as a pawn, laid in
hazard while he awaited his ad-
vantage.
But there were tears in Marian's
eyes.
Horse Dunn grinned upward and
about him at the steel and concrete.

A
Personal
Christmas
Present

FRS. GREENE sighed as she
MI rummaged through the old
l V l. trunk for the Christmas
decorations. Sighed, and also felt
ashamed. For why should she be
lonely, with two fine grown sons,
successful enough to satisfy any
mother?
But Mrs. Greene missed her
tousled-headed lads, and as she fin
gered the battered drum, the out
grown mittens, the books and souve-
Mrs, she felt a deep pang that no
one needed her any longer.
She found the decorations and
hustled down. Mary, the house
keeper the boys provided, had fin
ished. There was really nothing left
to be done. She thought of other
tired Christmas ewes, and could
stand the oppression of memories
no longer. I'm going out" she
said, and with no other explanation
set out into the night.
It was crisp and starlit, and she
walked far. The light and warmth
of a cafe attracted her, and she
stopped for tea. Over the rim of
her teacup her eyes met those of a
small boy just outside the window.
He drew back shyly, leaving a moist
spot where his nose had touched the
pane He looked very hungry, not
just the healthy hunger which her
sons had brought home from school,
but as Though he were really in
need. Mrs. Greene smiled and beck
oned. Come in" she invited. The
boy shook his head, started to go,
but the temptation of warmth and
food was too much.

proved, when he was seated oppo-
site her, with a great bowl of soup.

that could clamp down so suddenly

Christmas Blooms as an
Offering to Holy Child

ON THE first Christmas night,
~ when the shepherds were sent
by the angels to kneel before the
Child of Bethlehem, a little girl
named Madelon, whose brother was

inn. But when she found that they
had brought pair of doves, some
fruits, and honey as offerings to the
Holy Child, she felt ashamed to en-
ter empty-handed and turned sadly
