FRIDAY, JANUAKY 2, 1920 | Many Ministers Are “Doubling” | As Janitors and Wagon Drivers To Meet High Living Expenses The H. C. of L. Plus Low Salaries Compels Ministers | to Chase “The Almighty Dollar.” By Fay Stevenson 1020, by The Press Publishing Co, (The 4 World) INISTERS are not going on strike in order to have their salaries raised, They know a better way than that, Instead of going into their dens and studies six days a week to prepare for the seventh day, they are going out to chase the “almighty dollar’ just as any other man. And the sermons and the weddings and the funerals and the calls? Well, they will have to be crowded in “between times. Just a short time ago Rev. Alfred Issac of the Baptist Church stated that many of the up-State min- isters did not receive enough salary to buy and main- tain a flivver. Now Dr. BE. Tomlinson of the Ministerial Benefit Board admits that many ministers are forced to seek occupations outside of the pulpit in order to BP Pe FFF “keep the home fires burning.” 'Yes, it is true that hundreds of American ministers are driving rural @elivery wagons, raising chickens or working in factories in an effort to meet the cost of living,” Dr. Tomlinson told me in his office at No. 23 Kast 26th Street. “But isn’t that going to humiliate them before their congregations?” I asked. “1 don’t think that part of it will hurt them a bit,” laughed Dr. Tom- linson, “Didn't Paul make tents?” Copyrialt New York Even M ATER!
