pressible minds of the ministers
children, but - especially if they
arenearing young womanhood
or young manhood.
How it must humiliate their
self respect and, produce in them
an aversion toward the ministry
and the church. If as one has
put it, the impressions made upon
childhood in the home, and by
its environments are like letters
cut in the bark sf a young tree,
which grows and widens with
age," what must be social hurt,
and moral wrong done to fami
lies of ministers who are forced
to occupy these inconvenient,
cheerless parsonage homes, if ws
may call them homes.
The-fact is, congregations who
provide such ransacked parson
ages for their ministers as that
described Nhut themselves social
t ly and morally, as well as their
minister and his family, for how
ever 'worthy their pastor- they
will feel towards him just like
the parsonage looks, and they
will grade him socially, though
it may be unconsciously, with the
second-handed furniture . that
they themselves provided for his
home. Worse still, the pastor
and his family cannot escape a
lowering of their own self-re-
spect, social standing.

fluence in the community,
when
they submit to these outrageous
impositions. The Methodist
nreachers are the only -class of
men in the world who can make
a wash-stand out of the flour bar
rel, and never lose their social
standing. Buttwhy-should- min
isters and-'their -families- be thus
Notice
discriminated against in matters
of the home have things put off
on them, not good enough for
their parishioners, but good
enough for the preacher and his
family people to, who are bene
ficiaries of his services and but
for which service their very lives
and property would be in peril
every hour. But God in His
Wisdom foresaw all these things,
and therefore m his finan
cial syrtem for the support of
His ancient preachers, made such
ample provisions that they could
establish, furnish, and maintain
respectable homes, homes too,
that would be a sermon, and ex
ample in the community as every
preacher's home should be. Every
faithful preacher is entitled to a
home for service rendered, God
being the judge. The homing in
stinct demands it, and mark it,
all instincts created by God are
holy, but especially this primeval
and constitutional instinct of the
home, and for which God made
provisions in the established
homes of his ancient ministry.
And yet' in the very face of these
divinely established homes, and
the ample provisions made by
God himself for the comfort and
support of these old Testament
ministers, there are jnembers of
the church who think that a
preacher of the gospel should not
own property nor even an humble
home -to which he may go for
shelter when old and worn out
in a service for the community
in which they live, and of which
service they and jtheir families
l are daily oenencianes. we
have actually known faithtul
self-denying ministers of the
gospel, who as a matter of pru
dence, and justice to themselves
1 -v
and their dependent families,!
were compelled to keep from
their people any knowledge of any
real estate, or money, they
might posses above immediate
want, lest quarterage, that pit
tance of God's , tithe would be
withheld on the pretense that
the preacher does not need it,
as though unlike men of other
callings', he had no right to comr
pensation for service rendered, : ' '
nor even to make any prudent
provision against the wants and
infirmities of old aee. no not
even by putting aside for them
the sacred bequeathment of a
dying parent. The labor of the
ministry is the only service gen
dered to society that 13 discrim
inated against. No one ever
thinks of withholding the salary
of the teacher, the fees of the
lawyer or the wages of the work
man, because they happen to
own a home of their own or have
a bank account, and therefore do
not need it. The average salary
of a minister of the gospel in the
United States is about 665 per
annum, and many of them don't
receive more than $150. The
minister of the gospel is expect
ed to itinerate from Dan even to
Beersheba, pay all hjs traveling
expenses, buy food and clothing
for his family, buy books, ed
ucate his family.
But this upon the very face
of it is an economic impossibility
and we have as a result a crip
pled ministry, and the perilous
omen of pastorless and dying
churches all over our nation, and
that too at a time when .Roman
ism is making her last grand
stand for America.
By our disregard of God's
financial system, as one has well
said: "We have written over the
open and inviting door of the
most attractive calling in the
world the ministry of Jesus
Christ, this warning sign all
who enter here must become
practical beggars for all the
money necessary to carry on and
advocate the cause nearest the
heart of Christ and their own
hearts, and also very often beg
the money necessary for their
own, and their family's support.
No wonder then that the young
men coming out of our colleges,
seeing these things, are com
pelled by their very self respect,
to turn away from the sacred
calling of the ministry to engage
m
secular employments. And
thus it has happened as in the
days of Nehemiah. The Levite
has fled every one to his field,
and hence the house of God,
through all the rural sections of
this nation, like the temple of
Jerusalem in the days of the
prophet, is left in solitude, and
is desolate. "The Levite has
fled every one 'to his field." In
many instances faithful minis
ters who have too much self re
spect to beg for the church and
for themselves and families, and
to live in parsonages equipped
with second-hand goods, have
quit preaching and gone into re-
Ispectable secular employments V
where they can maintain their
social dignity, and do simple jus
tice to their families. No won
der then that there is a great,
scarcity of ministers in all de- :
nominations, but especially of -
those pf the right sort."
