It was so plain to the ses sion that the church was not prosper ing that a committee was appointed to confer with the pastor. His explana- ion of the low spiritual condition of the congregation and of his ineffi ciency was that they had lost their prayer book. They had ceased to their people. 7. By promptly paying their pas tor’s salary. There are people who pay their pastor’s salary, but they do not pay it promptly. They pay the grocer’s bill and the wages of their servants promptly, but they pay their pastor’s salary whenever it suits them to do so. There are others who do not regard their subscription to their pastor’s salary as a debt. They break the solemn vow they made when he was installed. Few ministers have any means of support outside of their salaries. Their salaries are very small and their expenses are heavier than any other class of men. They spend a great portion of their salary for books that are essential to their ef ficiency. How can any congregation who do not pay their pastor’s salary promptly expect their church to pros per? It is impossible to see how a pastor who Is burdened with debt can attain success in his high calling. Who would respect and love such a pastor? If his reputation Is gone, where is his Influence? No pastor can afford to preach the gospel to people who can and still refuse to pay his salary. A. H. Atkins. Healthy Mothers. Mothers should always keep In good bodily health.
