PROSPERITY AND THE ARMY OF UN
EMPLOYED PREACHERS.
A Revelation In the Figure. Given
Out by the Rronbytfrlaii General
AnHeinbly—How Alinat the Million
aire Christian. I
(Special Correspondence.]
At least one of tlie New York evening
papers of May 17 gave us very Interest
ing figures us given by the general as
sembly of the rresbyterinu church of
the nation. They are us follows: "It
has now 1,000 ministers without any
employment und 3,300 In churches
which are not self sustaining because
having but an average membership of
forty-six. It has also not fur from 4,000
ml ulsters unable to do any church work
because too old or sickly und are In
need of assistance to live. The minis
ters with fair or good salaries would
have to be assessed at an average of
over $270 per annum In order to at
least give an average annuity of S3OO
to each of the 4,000 incapacitated min
isters. That charge of over $270 would
be altogether too much fur the minis
ters under fair or good positions to
pay."
There we have a wonderful problem
to solve. The Presbyterian church
must have, in proportion to its total
membership, a large share of the
wealthy and well to do classes. That
church und the Eplscopul church are
considered by far better patronized
than any other by the classes in wealth
and comfortable enough to see tliut their
ministers should have a good share of
our supposed prosperity. And yet look
at the sltuution. Commence with the
large army of not far from 4,000 men
who, after having worked for the sal
vation of souls for thirty or forty years,
are In need of charity to keep them
selves und families alive now that our
beloved civilization declares they are
not good for anything. If civilization
had any sense, men would be always
good for something, or no one would
need charity anyhow.
And what about tho other group of
ministers, a brigude of 1,000, anxious
to be useful in the profession they
have chosen? To them civilization
says: We have nothing for you to do.
If you don't like the conditions we
place you in, hang yourselves.
Now comes the army to which civili
zation is for the present willing to give
something of a Job, und they have to
work ut starvation wages because
their average congregations of forty
six are themselves as poor us rats. If
they were not, an unnual average of
s.3u from each member would give the
minister something like $1,500, tlie
minimum sanitary needs for the aver
age family, and enough would be left
for the other expenses of u Hinull
church building.
Lastly comes the larger army with
fair or good sularies unable to furnish
to the incapacitated ministers the mis
erable sum of SSOO for the old fellows
to live, with but one-third of the sani
tary requirements that each family
needs today. And yet that is the mis
erable huiii tbat civilization gives to
most of our working families, to the
workers without which our whole in
dustrial fubric would rapidly crumble
to pieces und potentates themselves
would soon become paupers or else
workers with starvation earnings.
What happens with the Presbyterian
church and its 12,000 active or would
be active ministers must take place
with the 154,000 ministers of all
churches In 1000. And please see that
that is connected with tho number of
101.000 churches, congregations. We
have then 37,000 congregations that
cannot even have u regular pastor,
while, judging by the number of in
capacitated ministers in the Presby
terian faith, we must have over 50,000
Incapacitated clergymen all told shov
eled Into the garbage heap by our glo
rious Christian civilization.
Evidently, then, the anaconda of our
rotten progress does not even respect
the ministers of our churches and
gradually envelops iu its poisonous
coils the preachers of the gospel as
well as the great multitude of our
plain workers who furnish the food,
clothing and shelter without which 110
preacher could be had. Not even our
souls can do anything without at least
a portion of the needs of life.
Now comes the funniest part of the
whole problem—viz, the utter absence
of mental capacity of our 8,000,000
citizens grouped in churches, since,
with mighty few exceptions, we don't
see their willingness to do any bottom
work for the suppression of our indus
trial evils, with that dreadful old
Mine. Prosperity upsetting every
thing right and left. Charity here,
charity there, prayers everywhere; jus
tice, equity, honesty nowhere in the
general relations of our national life.
Please wake up, friends of high and
low degree. There is a ilual judgment
every day in the year for a number of
us whose bodies go down under the
sod, and the soul goes somewhere in
the Infinite, there to answer to a right
eous God at least the following ques
tion: "What did you do to suppress
iniquity in your own nation, the iniq
uity which, incarnated in law, discards
point blank the equity of the uni
verse V" JOSE GltOS.
I uloulsni anil Patriotism.
The plutocrat confines patriotism to
himself and says the union man cares
only for his union. When the civil
war broke out, nearly all the unions in
the north were broken up owing to the
great number of enlistments, says Her
bert N. Casson. A Philadelphia union
of mechanics enlisted in a body, and
the secretary made this entry in his
book:
"It having been resolved to enlist
with Uncle Sam for this war, this or
ganization stundsudjourucd until either
the Union is safe or we are whipped."

Dick and the Sparrow.
The lady of the house was standing
In the vestibule, casting an unxious
eye down the street.
"Are there no boys In sight?" asked
u voice from'within.
"Yes, plenty of boys on the street, but
you know how particular I am about
Pet. I should like to be sure that the
boy who rides her will not be rough
with her."
Just then a sturdy young fellow of
ten came whizzing by on a bicycle. It
was not his own, but one that Its owner
was generous enough to lend to the
boys who had none, and he was taking
his turn while the other boys lay on
the grass and played jackstones, wish
ing as he rode along, "My, If I only had
u wheel for my trip to the farm!"
Just then he suddenly straightened
himself up.
"Tiug-a-llng-ling!" rang out the hell
of the bicycle sharply, and us he slow
ed up the other boyslialf rose and look
ed wonderlngly. They could see noth
ing to ring for.
"What was It, Dick?" they inquired.
"Oh, nothing hut a sparrow. I was
afraid I would run over it. The little
thing stood so still right in front of the
wheel 1"
"110, ho! Rings his hell for a spar
row!" sneered the other boys us Dick
dismounted.
"Mamma's itty, witty baby!"
"I don't cure bow much you make
fun of me," he replied good naturedly,
yet not without a red flush on his brow.
"I guess I wouldn't run over a sparrow,
even, when I could help It by ringing
or stopping."
"Come here, please, Dick!" called a
voice from the doorstep of one of the
handsomest houses on the avenue?.
"You are the very boy I want to drive
u pony to the country and back. It is
out the Darlington boulevard. Would
you like to go?"
"Why, yes, ma'am," quickly answer
ed Dick. "I have an errand out there
and was Just dreading the walk."
"Then I am glad you may ride. I
was wondering whether I could trust
one of those? hoys to be kind to Pet
when I overheard about the sparrow.
That made me willing to trust you."—

Her Touching Devotion to the Mem
ber* of Her Family.
110 hail been to the boarding school
to pay a surprise visit to his daughter,
his only child, lie had parted from
her proud to be the parent of such u
handsome maiden, pleased with the in
nocence of budding womanhood. The
principal accompanied him to the door.
"Madam," he said, with deep feeling,
T owe you inucli for the manner in
which you have reared my child since
she has been under your care. When I
notice the contrast between that Inno
cent maiden and some of the girls of
her age who have not had the advan
tage of such strict supervision, I feel
that I huve indeed done wisely in plac
ing her in your charge."
"And how proud you must te," said
the principal, glowing with satisfac
tion, "to bo the father of so large and
devoted a family!"
"Large! Devoted!" gasped the proud
parent. "What do you mean?"
"Devoted to each other," said the
prlnclpul. "No fewer than seven of
Clara's brothers have been hero during
the past three weeks to take her out,
and she is expecting unother tomor
row."
Strained Relations.
"Yes, It's true that Miss Gotrox's fa
ther seems to harbor some grudge or
other against me."
"What do you suppose caused It?"
"I haven't the least idea, unless it
was a little accident that occurred the
last time I called. 1 forgot that I had a
hard and unsympathetic bottle In my
hip pocket, and he broke his gouty toe
oh it."—Baltimore Herald.

rows of coral beads, with a large clasp
of brilliants. A fantastic collar is of
Imitation pearls, with a large vainpire

odd blue enamel and the eye of blazing
red stones.
