I.IVINO WAGE FOR CtEIlGTMBN Efforts MnUlnic to Adjust Salaries to Conditions. Chicago Recerd-Herald. Probably no part ot tho community has suffered more from the increased cost of living than tho clergy. Every now and then a clergyman or layman speaks his mind bluntly on the question of the mln lsters wage, reminding us that It has not risen to meet the advanced cost ot living. If he happens to be a minister, he la almost Invariably a well-paid one, so that no charge of self-Interest can be brought against him. He appears elmply as an advocate for the country parson. whose Income Is Inadequate to support him decently even when he Is at his best. much less to provide him with & living In his old age. Every time the subject Is broached tt receives a respectful and even sympathetic hearing, but little is dono about It. It Is encouraging, therefore, to hear that when the annual convention of the Mew Jersey diocese of the potestant Episcopal church waa held at Atlantic City a canon waa adopted providing that married ministers In new parishes should receive 1,300 a year and unmarried ones, S1.000. This "minimum wage" Is certainly not excessive, for, according to figures Just issued by the government, the purchas ing power of 11,000 Is no greater than waa that of $C93 only fifteen years ago. Just how tho country parson contrives to keep uo the position he docs, purchase books and magazines,- Tear a family according to his standard of education and still lay up anything for a rainy day la a mystery to the onlooker. Probably It remains an unsolved mystery oven to him. Society has been too much Inclined to allow Its clergymen to enjoy the luxury of serving for spiritual rewards, holding that they irot their return from their work. Now that the Episcopal church In New Jersey has fairly faced the matter, may we not look for similar results elsewheraT Defective Material. Indianapolis News.

The Episcopal church had no moro Pic turesque prelate than "William ot Al bany" and few who exercised a sounder Influence In the councils of that denomination. Philadelphia Record: The Presbyterian sects, the Southern and the United, nave agreed on terms of union, aa they are practically lndentlcal In their beliefs. In Canada the Presbyterian, the Methodist and the Congregational churches have practically decided to sink all differences and come together as one body. Thus the work" of emllmlnatlng somo of the un necessary socts of Protestantism con tinues slowly, but steadily. Baltimore American: The general synod of the Luthoran church, In session In Kansas, adopted a resolution fixing tho minimum salary of each minister at $1,000 a year. This Is a step all denom inations might take with profit to the cause ot religion. The average preacher Is overworked and underpaid; his con gregation Is usually overdressed and hypercritical and Inclined to give to tho church the crumbs of prosperity.
