HARD TO LIVE HONEST LIFE Minister Describes Trials Which Fall to Their Lot. Lawrence, Kan, Oct. '.—“I don’t believe a minister of the gospel can lead an honest life in this age,” said Rev. D. H. Carrick. Dr. Carrick has resigned the pas. torate of the North Lawrence Chris- tfan church and become a conductor for the Lawrence Street Railway com: pany. “The public never sees behind the screen of the pastor’s home,” said Mr. Carrick, “or it might realize the trials, the griefs, the pains which the pastor and his wife are forced to bear. A minister's wife cannot even make a pretense of dressing or dining well o1 people will think they are paying the pastor too much, or that he ought to save part of his salary and give it to missions. He cannot put on a pair of patent leather shoes without every person who has contributed the small- est mite toward his salary looking at them as if to say, ‘I helped pay for those shees; there’s where our mon ey goes. “I don’t believe a minister can lve a really honest life. If he preaches the truth he will be condemning the lives of most of his congregation and offending them. Instead of preaching his convictions the minister of the gospel avoids anything that might tread vupon personal grounds. He lives a lie every day of his life in or- der not to offend the influential mem- bers of his congregation. “Thank God, I am earning an hon est living now, and nobody can crit- {cise me.” CITY OPERA.
