STATUS OF THE PASTOR / _ UftLS DO NOT WISH TO BE YOUNG MINISTERS' WIVES. ?^O the Husband-Hunting Young Wom rt: an and Her Ambitious Mother, tha ^Clergyman Holds a Possible Fifth Place-The Doctor Hac Taken Prec is edence. & Somewhere In this age of materlnl jtrem and in the present race after ?wealth, lt hoa become apparent that (|j|e minister of tho gospel, as ho waa 3cnown and recognized thirty years 3*go, has been displaced. Thc doctor medicine has taken precedence of -^o doctor of divinity in the worldly .course of sentiment. Four women may attend church services to each man to be found thcro, but this gen eral observation holds good, regard less cf tho age, appearance or married OT single condition of tho minister. '/J-To the husband-hunting young wom an and her dotcrmlned and ambitious ll?ther the young minister of thc gos pel today holds a possible fifth place. Bishop Samuel M. Merrill of thc Methodist Episcopal church waa asked to substantiate the general ap " ruions of these assertions. As to e romantic side. of the preacher's I however, he holds that it was al ?jia the romance of thc man himself, regardless of his cloth; that where the preacher's position was considered pro and con in the arrangement of a wedding the situation was only local and meaningless as applied to the profession of thc ministry. lu the middle west especially there are hundreds of thousands of observ ers cf the churches of a generation ago . who recall when frequently the mere consideration of a married cler gyman in the filling of a pulpit va cancy would cause a faction of moth ers with marriageable (laughters to enter such vigorous protect as some times to split the church. The pcsl tiujit-of most of the sobor-sided mem bets of the flock would be against the engagement of a "boy" preacher, while certain of the mothers with daughters eligible to matrimonial adventure wenud find the young candidate espc cijf&y "eloquent." or "spiritual" or sympathetic. This condition pre vailed particularly in those churches winch made their own votive choice of |he minister. Today, save in the smaller rural chaches off the railroads and away from touch with thc great mcney cen tres of the country, thc question of the young p;cacher was never less pro voking of factions. When the young preacher was the mark of especial favor with ambitious mammas, there were fewer represen tatives of the profession to draw from in rural communities. As a rule four preachers could find livings of some kind;-in a town that could support per haps only two doctors. There would be one druggist, perhaps; a cashier in e bank cf the place, a railroad agent and a postmaster. The < r*o_ n1aro_'could be upon ac already married. Beyond these the choice of son-in-law would lie in the grocery and dry goods stores, hardware storo and the coal dealer's office. "Today one not familiar with thc conditions in the smaller towns of the country would be surprised to know how sharply they arc reflecting the life of the cities," said a traveler who has made observations In the country towns of thc middle west es pecially. ."For instance, there is scarcely a wealthy man in one of these places who has not made his ventures upon the boards of trade and the stock exchanges of the big cities. He can talk about millions with all the natural ease that comes to Wall street frequenters. The seeming ease with which promoters and corn kings and wheat kings have made fortunes has impressed thc man in the country town quite as strongly as the impres sion has been marked in thc popula tion of the cities, and to talk tn him now of a local .nan whose claims to wealth are in a panry $15,000 or S2(>, OOO, Is to provoke a 'smile of patient consideration. "In general, too, the whole country has Increased in wealth, and as this has come about, and the intricacies of civilization have multiplied, room has been made for more of the professions in the small towns, and nearly every one of these has profited more than has the ministry. It seems in these Bmall places that as more money is accumulated, which ought to go to the struggllngs 'ministers already in the town, the disposition is, instead of collecting to the good of those already there, to build two or three more debt incumbered churches and create a half living for two or three more .preachers. "It is pretty well recognized that the worldly let of the preacher in the small town is not to bc envied by any young woman who is not as much wedded to the cause of his mission as He is himself. All else being equal, it is pretty certain that the doctor and lawyer and the registered pharmacist and the bank book-keeper will make the better salary, and when you con sider that so many wives of ministers who, have not taken a degree are do-, nied the use of the appellation of "doc tor," such as the wife of the dentist over the drug store may use when speaking of her husband-why, is it any wonder that the preacher isn't cutting much matrimonial Ice?" In Chicago, recognizing that a moth er with daughters ls entitled In a sense to carry that worldly desire to see them married evon into the church, lt may be remarked with as surance that Just to that extent that the mother is worldly, to that extent ls the minister eliminated. Of the mon who have preached in Chicago in years past, Dr. Hiram W. Thomas, pastor emeritus of the People's church, may IKJ said to have reached close to the possibilities of thc minis try. Ye when he left the People's church there was money trouble for it at once. "It is this way," said the venerable pastor, speaking to the writer. "While I was pastor cf the church I always saw to.lt that, every obligation of the church was met from the church's in come, then I took what was left." Tais from a great preacher. Are there any lawyers of comparative prominence who will say as much, or nood to say as much? Any physi cians or surgeons, or promoters, or general managers, or presidents or vice-presidents? Ton thousand dollar? a year is a big salary lor a Chicago preacher. For the fiOO or mere preachers in Chicago thc average salary would much more nearly approach the pay of the patrol man of the first grade. "Take the United States census for it and you will have the status of the preacher in his worldly sense," said a prominent layman. "There are 111.G38 ministers of the gospel in thc country, and against these tuero are 114.4G0 lawyers, 132,002 physicians and surgeons, 92,174 musicians and teachers cf music, 446,133 teachers and professors in schools, 30,038 jour nalists, 26,644 dentists and 130,590 po licemen, watchmen and firemen. "You will see that there are nearly as many preachers to minister to tho spiritual needs of thc people as ?1 -re are to take care of the physically sick and ailing," ho said. "Perhaps as many are really needed, but at the same time the .doctor of medicine is called with a gocd deal more of haste and concern than' is the doctor of divinity, and ho Is surer of his iee. "But while we are looking to the status of the minister we might look to the source of the ministerial sup ply. Chicago today is enc of the greatest medical centres in the world, having a greater enrollment of medical students in its colleges than any other city on thc continent. But the roil of divinity students in its schools is by no means strikingly large. "Tho tmth is, that, aside from tho handicap of salary, thc young minis ter cf today finds a handicap of op portunity in the pulpit. While there is more doctrinal liberality than ever before In the pulpit, it means some thing when every day there is a pres sure exerted exacting more of this, freedom; and on top of the disposition to grant this free wc see every year the desertion of pulpits on tho part cf preachers of attainments, and find them going to thc universities and col leges and to many other secular posi tions and places. "From a worldly point of view, I should have no hesitancy in saying that the minister of today is by no means a desirable sort of a son-in law."-Chicago Tribune. CAREER OF A PICTURE. World-Famous "Rock of Ages"-The Painter Lives in Virginia. In countless homes adorned by the | world-famous picture, the "Rock of Ages," it. would bc a matter of sur prise to learn that thc artist, the Rev. Johannes A. Oertel, now in his 80th year, is a resident of the village ot Vienna, in Fairfax county, Va., where, in a picturesque studio of his own modeling; he contin.tes tho work known wherever art has penetrated. The artist, a native of Bavaria, who came to America in 1848, settling in Newark, N. J., first sketched it in the album pf a young gi A living, in West it, suggesting a small painting" Ui the" subject in oil, which he exhibited at thc National Academy of Design in New York. Tills caught the keen eye of a Broadway dealer, who, realizing its commercial value, induced Mr. Oer tel to make a large painting, from which photographs were struck off, and one of these falling Into thc hands of Mr. James of Providence, R. I., he purchased the right of publishing all subs?quent copies. The painting was bought for $1000 by Augustus Storrs, a Brooklyn mer chant, while thc run upon the un framed pictures, ten inches high, got ten out by Mr. James, and selling for ?3 apiece, was unprecedented in the history of photography, thc operatcrs being unable to meet the demand, and dealers losing sales from insufficient supply of copies. Mr. James's next venture was a chromo-lithograph, made under his own supervision In Paris. Passing through 1 onden on his way home, he sold throe of these chromos for nine guineas to Mr. Graves, the queen's bookseller. Upon his arrival in Liver pool, a telegraphic order awaited him from that gentleman for 30 additional copies, and on reaching New Ycrk he was handed an application from him for the entire edition. Indeed, phenomenal as was thc sale of this creation in America, it was greator abroad. An English nobleman hazards the assertion that, in some one of its varied forms, it is to be found in every palace and hovel in the island, and a traveler returning from a tour of the world exclaimed; "The picture haunts mc. It follows me wherever I go. I have seen it in Chill; I have seen it also in the Pyrenees." Two years after the appearance of the first photographs Mr. James had realized as his share of the profits $75,000. Mr. Oertel, too, was in re ceipt of a handsome income in royal ties, and with this assured support (having pursued his theological stud ies without assistance, and been or dained to the priesthood of the Prot estant Episcopal church) he removed in 18G7 to Lenoir, in North Carolina, and 'Lok charge of a congregation impoveris.he \ hy thc civil war. Two year.* later an unauthorized copy of tht 'Rock of Ages" was got ten out by a New York photographer. Mr. Oertel's publisher sought pro tection from the law, and the case was carried into the lower and supreme courts of the state. Scarcely had It been decided in his favor, however, when a Chicago artist made a similar design, evading the law by the intro duction of a shiM in the background and the reversal cf the female figuro. This threw the copyright open. The monopoly was wrested from its own er and the market Hooded with pic tures of every size and quality. Thus, as a financial venture, ter minated the brilliant promise of thc "Rock of Ages." Up to Us production Mr. Oertel was closely associated with the art life of New York, his pictures commanding ready sales, and bringing high prices, and his career being one of steady progress. Since then, however,, al though he has painted many notable compositions, he lias dropped out ol the world's regular army of workers, his life has been unsettled and ne niadle, and his prcsenf. studio is the ninth which he has built and occu pied.-Washington Post.

This animal is in ovidonce on a great many farms and has done more to ward injuring the dairy and oattl? business than anything else. The no purpose cow is much like the mongrel dog or the barnyard fowl. Neither has any particular breed, possibilities 01 capabilities. Thoy exist because they are the products of a kay, careless system. They do not help their own ers much, but temi bo discourage them. The no-purpose cow is the product of an indifferent system of farrowing, and lt is "an animal which ls neifher good for milk or beef. Sh? te usually a good foedc-r, an excellent feeder in fact, but, not much of a pro ducer. It ie astonishing sometimes to know where the food goes which sh? eats, for it is convort?d into neither fat. fie3h nor milk. It must maka bone, muscle o? sinew, for the flesh of the animal is generally tough when eaten. Now the general purpose, cow is a cross or type intermediate bet ween th? beef and dairy trpe. This animal, strictly speaking, ls the product ol careful and good breeding, and is no4 the outcome of chance or accident. She has been bred for a dual purpose and ' if she eorae3 up to anticipations Bhe I* a good mil tor and a good beef pro ducer.

She ti eminently adapted to tho gomral farm or who wishes milk and later a fat cow for the shambles, with calves which will produce good veal in a fehort tim? from birth. It may not b? generally known, but ls is more diffi cult to raise such an animal than a typical beef or dairy cow. The dan ger, however, comes In with the no purpose eow. In trying to secure a good general purpose cow, we may stumble upon tte no-purpose animal. This should be avoided in every pos sible way for the investment would prove as unsatisfactory as any po? si\aly could on the farm.-L. E. Kerr Vn The Epitomist
