Miaistorial Door Doctor; It is to be greatly regretted that ministerial changes tie so frequent. But there are causes which prompt ministers to leave one field of labor sod go to another: we doobt not, these are good and snflcwut ones for the chaagaa which are resolved upon ; to other cases, ministers per haps change their fields ot labor for ia sufficient causes. Ooe of the efficient causes why oar people srs so frequently left without e (tester is the want of an adequate support. l>mgoise the feet as they may, our people can not that ministers are capable of :ing to a greater degree than lay area are. Yet their income ia far leas, on an average, than the income of laymen. Some pastorate* compel their ministers to eke out a miserable existence upon a salary, perhaps, not oowfourth the ambunt it ought to be, stinting them wives sod children, ia the clothing, denying them selves of weekly aud monthly period sod recent valuable poblica and thus oooLraeUug their of usefulness, jam because those whose daty it is to support them, do not discharge their daty in this respect—end if a church member ia negligent in this doty, he ia very likely to be in other* also. 1 Now, for the benefit of those charges which are always having a difficulty in raising a liviug salary for their pastors, we pcopoae to offer mm remedy, which, if acted upon, will prove quite beneficial to their inadequately supported pastors; and in turn it will (wove a blgaaiug to those who put the suggestion to practice, for, we are assured by a wiser One than Solomon, that it is more hlrssad to gter than to receice. In proposing this remedy for an madeqoate salary, we are assured it is one that is entirely prac by almost every charge; for, whiUl we do not complain of an iuadeqnate salary for onraelf, what we are about to suggest to others potatoes, wood ham, coffi* sugar, lard, butter flofiv, hauling, Ac., $32.88 • M r . gj Wood, mutton, beef, $10.15; F.—Butter, chickens, soap, potatoes. $2.00; Mrs. W.—Butter and dried apples; $2.00; Mrs. 8.—Hat, $!*• ( apt.
