(Established 1878) <p a THE PREACHER’S PAY—WHEN SHOULD HE GET IT? The average salary for preachers in 12 leading denominations is $774 a year. _ *That’s $2.12 a day. The average preacher is married. Most of them are raising children, feeding them, clothing them, buying medicine for them and sending them to school. The average preacher works seven days a week. He must wear good clothes; his wife must dress well, and his children cannot appear in tat- tered and torn rags. His congregation insists that the preacher and his family must not display any sign of poverty, and the preacher must wear a smile—always. He must have a cheery word for every man, woman and child he meets. He must not complain. Once in a while a preacher quits the pulpit and takes, another job—one which will leave some- thing in his pay envelope after taking out the tolls of butcher, candlestick maker and the baker. Then his congregation speaks of “his fall from grace,” and he is a branded outcast. ; A preacher ought to preach. What right has he to stew and fret about shoes for his children, food for his table and the declining years of his life? And above all, a preacher should never men- tion his pay envelope, for his congregation has arrived at the conclusion that their pastor will reap his reward in the hereafter, than which no vhuman being could desire a greater reward. So the congregation distributes ‘haloes, passes to paradise, and reserved seats in heaven to its pastor. Having been thus generous in the matter of spiritual rewards, the members of the average congregation hand over about two cents a day which totals the munificent sum of $2.12 every 24 hours for the preacher. You know, the average congregation imagines its pastor never would get to heaven unless it per- mitted him to preach to it each Sunday. That’s the impression the preacher must receive every time he gets his lean pay envelope. So he goes on preaching and praying for his employers, and for everybody else under the sun. ‘We suppose there are times when a preacher gets to pray for himself and preach to himself. Usually, though, the average preacher has his hands full preaching to and praying for his congregation. When he’s not preaching and praying he is visiting the sick and helpless, the aged and the backslider. Aside from these duties he has noth- ing else beyond attending to the lawn socials; the half dozen or so church societies ; the boys and girls, the Sunday school; the choir, soliciting money for a new church roof; collecting for home and foreign missions; burying us and marrying us; baptizing us and converting us. Once in a while the average $2.12 congregation will permit {ts [pastor to take exercise’ mowing the church lawn, or sweeping snow off the sidewalk. a Truly is the “laborer worthy of his hire.” The only trouble in the matter is the matter of the preacher’s hire is that his congregation expects the Lord to pay about 88 per cent of the hire. It is better to increase the content of the preacher’s pay envelope than to contribute for homes for aged pastors, and it is more pleasing to preachers to get regular sized pay envelopes while they live than bronze tablets after they’re dead. We did’nt want any more trouble over there, but if trouble must come it will never find us bet- ter prepared. SIDELIGHTS ON BOLSHEVISM Bolsheviks in America and elsewhere have| howled themselves black in the face because the allies have meddled with the affairs of Russia. “Call back the troops! Let the Russian people settle their own affairs and adopt any plan of gov- ernment that looks good to them,” is the cry. And| Most of us thought that that was about right. 0! afire blazes merrily on. ‘by Hun officers. : i Idealism isn’t satisfactory treatment foi the rabies, , . ¥ We chained one beast.

Townley and Attorney Gen-} eral William Langer were covered by the same | political bed clothing, the North Dakota situation lacked the touch of spice it now presents. But now that the attorney general has kicked off the coverings, and has even planted a cold foot in the middle of the Townley back, things are happening, and happening fast. William‘ has about three ideas for every one that passes through the Townley intellect. ‘“In- siders” in the league have always maintained that Townley got his theories from such advisers as LeSueur and Mills, and his practical politics from men like Coates and our present attorney general. “ / But, be that as it may, there is now somebody fighting Mr. Townley who knows every trick in theaTownley box and can think just a little far- ther ahead than the astute boss of the league. When Mr. Langer decided that the consumers’ stores would stand some investigation, there was consternation in the league bureau. Immediately the old trick of starting a counter barrage was brought out and dusted off for use. Of course, it had to be shown. that “Big Business” was trumping up the charges against the stores. Therefore this $40,000 fund for the community program was “discovered.” The local Kept Beauty of the Brinton harem splashed some red ink about the attempt of Big Business to put the consumers’ stores out of business. Promptly Mr. Langer comes back with the cffer of a reward of $1,000 to be paid out of his own pocket, for information that will result in the conviction of any persons guilty of so con- spiring. _ Also Mr. Langer refuses/to be “read out” of the league by the big boss: If there is any read- Whereupon, Bolsheviki Russia sends an army into Hungary to meddle with the affairs of the ‘Hungarians, and make them adopt the style of government Russia wants them to adopt.
