An elderly granger in a west ern town was given wide-spread publicity while attending an af fair of special doings by purchas ing merry-go-round tickets, $l5 worth at a time, and distributing them among area youngsters.

Devotional Reading: Acts 26 12-23 Lesson for October 20, 1957 'T'HE man has various titles. He may himself prefer to be called by the simple democratic “Mister." But he is also Pastor John Doe, and the Reverend John Doe, and maybe Doctor Doe, be sides Some call him the preacher. But the title that binds him clos est, perhaps, to the Lord Jesus, is the word “Minister” Je- sus said - “The Son of man came not to be served but to serve ” The Latin word for “serve” <n that verse (Maik 10 45) is the word front which our English word Dr. Foreman “mimstei” is derived It is the most inclusive of all the titles; it means in general one who is of service to others, and in paitlcu lar one who serves in the name of Christ. The Minister’s Call Consider three points about mm isteis, which the people in the pews often oveilook One is the minister's call What he does is a “calling” lather than a “position”. How does a minister come to be pastor of a particular church’ That varies fiom one denomina tion to another, though not very much But how does the minister come to be One m the first place 7 That is always the same, whether he is a Roman Catholic priest or a Protestant minister: he is a minister of Christ because he be lieves, he was called by the Lord to do and be just that Could he be mistaken 7 Indeed he can, Thei« are men in the ministry who have no business” there The problem of how to be sure about one’s call to the ministry is a problem for ministers, not for most of the peo ple who read these lines. What we need to do. when we “call" a min- , ister, is to be sure we get a man vyho among other strong points has this: he is God’s man first of all; oute only becuase he was God’s fi * Minister A double decker barn on the Lancaster farm of W C Venoi& e in the Chestnut Level Area, was destroyed by a fire at noon on Oct 18, 1932 •* Mrs. Venoise was alone wuk a five-year-old child when she discovered the barn on fire The nearest telephone was about one mile away and by the time help arrived the building was a mass of flames Quarryville Fire Co respond ed and saved the wagon shed and hog pen which was on fire The stock was all out of the bai n Six tons of straw, seven tons oi hay, with other contents went up in smoke The loss was estimated at $4,000. Firemen stated the origin of the fire could not be deter mined * s! i *■ FARMERS ADVISED TO USE HAY FOR FUEL Twenty-five years ago this week farmers in thd St Paul, Minn section, getting from one to five dollars a ton for “prai rie hay”, were advised by Di. Gortner, of the University of "Minnesota, to use the product for fuel, in the place of coal that was selling up to seventeen dollars a ton Dr. Gortner called the days when sheila* corn was selling for ten cents a bushel and farmers burned it in their stoves Th« Minister’s Salary Some churches fio not have sal aried ministers. Most of the churches in America, -however, d® have salaried ministers.'One thing that many church members do nol realize is that the salary of a min" ister is positively not the same thing as a weekly wage paid to a farm hand, or a business man’s return on an investment in stocks, or a fee paid to a lawyer. If you hire a man, he is your man If ’you don’t like what he Is doing, you can fire him But the minister is not a hired man. He is God’s man, at your service, but not un der your thumb The business man wants to get rich, or ncher| his income builds up his fortune. But' the minister’s salary never glows to a fortune The lawyer has a stated set of fees, and if he is Jjke some lawyers, he chaigcs what the ti affic will bear, i e ha charges the wealthy more than the poor In the Protestant chui ch there is no scale of fees, most of what the minister does is fiee Piogiessive ministers aie today doing away with the wedding fee| for example, manying only thoifl own people and doing this as a I part of the church’s seivice to its I people Furtheimore, and this is I most irrpoitant, the mimstei’s sal-1 ary, unlike piofessional fees, is I NOT payment for services ien-| dered If the minister is any ac-1 count, his seivices are beyond! puce (How much is it woith, ml cash, to be comfoited in sonow, I stiengthened in temptation, illuJ mined in spmt 9 ) The salaiy is subsidy enabling him to u 01 k I without a salary l I The Minister’s Ambition Paul made it clear that he had a right to a salary, though he pie* fened not to use that light bu’ to earn a living as N he went along But even if he had been “paid,’’ the salary could nevei have been the main thing with him “That I may WIN some people”—not t<| build a kind of private empire, nor to win people foi himself, but tor Christ Only God saves men, but he saves men through men And what puce can be named which is a fair “payment” for saving » man’s soul 7 All dedicated men set the doing of their work above the paycheck in impel tance Their real heait* ambition is not for moie puP Their ambition is gieatei effe 'j tiveness —a closer approach to P fection, whether their work is ait, teaching, bridge-building or "ha ever else it may be So the hu« minister’s secret ambition is nt ’ a bigger congregation, moie '•*’ ary, more prestige: it is nun* souls won.
