These needs are constantly', changing with the advancement of civilization, with the prevalence of peculiar sins and hope3 and The gospel is not reserved ia its operation for the priest and his people, but for all men. as free for their acceptance as the air they breathe and the fruits they garner from the skid. A man may be, and often is, indeed, a fine Witness of the truth of God, who has no certificate reposing in the records of a church. The Jews, with their vaunted superiority, thought they were the chosen people, the only ones who had the true God. Modern Christians in manv cases have this Jewish spirit, and regularity in the organization is more gospei-like.

accord in to their notions, than the -Joings of the truth of the Almighty. There Is still another erroneous notion that the etospei i.3 only tnat which in-Cit des The name of Jesus. If a minister does no: continually mention the Saviour, his message is like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Ifow remarkable, indeed! Was Paul a good advocate of If so, was that Thirteenth cf First Corinthians an accident, sine it not mention Christ? Henry Drum-mond and many others look upon that masterpiece a3 the best thing ever written in the spirit of the goapel. Eut if one were to foilow consistently the course of some modern gotpei-critics, it would to be expurgated form, the Bible.

In the Old Testament, the Twenty-third J'halm is perhaps the most approved of ali the writings. It hag comforted and encouraged many a troubled and doubting heart. That, too, must be done away, for, according to the standard of explicit reference to Christ, it fails completely of worthiness. To cite the beatitudes, with their absence of the name of Jesus is, of course, to show how thorough is the folly of "repeating the name." It is always the truth, and its own Inherent power to convince and Inspirit, which is the gospel If these perplexed souls will learn' how all-inclusive the gosytcl if they will various applicants for the position of director, but as ye; no report has been The only definite announcement is that the Chcral club wid have no connection with the orchestra durin. the It will have its-own officers nnd cuurch Doonle tnat the osne! isi one i "git, 13 on i only a iueatts.

I 1 It is some trdnps ought not. be 1 cuscussed because they are iud -street. But in the case which is here used as a text, and every specific- case which comes up for srospei treatment, the first and only question is: Witt-the speaking the truth in this matter be a benefit to those who hear and read? If the utility of rpetikinc is unquestioned thnt is, if good is "to be gained thereby the obligation is imperative to speaii out with the fearlessness; the pi-iuness and the authority of the ambassador of the truth of God. For the Clcse-Fisted Layiman, TO meet five-dollar conditions wit pay" this is the arraig of a minister writing In a rith one- gnment recent number of the Independent on the subject of the sustenance of the -clergy.

Coming, as it does, at a time when the church and daily papers are reporting the increase of ministers' salaries, It will probably --be -taken by some laymen a3 hardly consistent with the facts; by others it will as proof that the preacher is tile most abused man financially in all the walks of life. The writer ia question, who, for obvious reasons, withholds his name and fign himself The Gadite. excoriates the whole system of gathering funds for the maintenance of the church, and pictures the minister as little better, than a professional mendicant, enjoying the parsimony and degrading spirit of the laity. When the minister, as a follower of a learned calling, and as thereby involved in the liviucr expenses of the larger life, fails to make a good showing, the laity sneers at Yds, poor management and cannot understand that this vicar of God Is governed by the. srtno in the matter of paying bills, as the lawyer, the physician, or, the man of business.

It is hardly to be 'questioned that the average wage of a clergyman is little higher than that of an unskilled laborer, and while that ia itself would not be so deplorable, the den and that come upon nim are equivalent to those that beset the most cultivated and prosperous men in a community. It is beyond dispute that the minister, in his support of the congregation, gives more money than men whose incomes are exceedingly greater, and whose necessities in other respects are not one whit greater than those of the parson. When the possibility of the unattract- iveness of the ministry on account of the niggardly salaries is proposed, the awful- rtess of the mercenary spirit thus vouchsafed is appalling in the eyes of those who are long on a cheap variety ot piety, and short (and irregular) on the books of the financial secretary of the congregation.

As an autuor ana j- 1 intr eomnlete of American literatur I i He was tiie lionored founder of a college and theological seminary, over which be presided with distinguished success for neerly' a generation. He was the preside it of the highest judicatory of ttm denomination to which he belonged, and was chairman of its general board of missions. In interdenominational assemblies lie took a leading He in-Spired the consensus of Fan-Presbyterian alliance." Now. after all of these marks of uncommon ability and power, this man died. And he left a competence to his family, as he woold sureiv have done had he taken any other vailing? "after almost six decades of continuous active service, and pinching poverty." he left "a good name, and a butcher's bill." The Gadite is 40, at his best.

He has addressed some of the largest assemblies, written editorials for some of the leading religious journals in the world, and after 20 years of service is "virtually down and out" How could it be otherwise, he inquires, on an average salary, in city work, of $1,000 a year? The foregoing, he avers, are bald, hard facts. He commends them to the modern, money-making laymanship of the Christian church, "careful, calculating, shrewd, selfish." The dearth of candidates for the ordained ministry he attributes to the absence of conditions of financial decency. "There will be candidates a-plenty when a redeemed, broad-rninded, conscientious laymanship, now largely engrossed with the hot pursuit find selfish accumulation of things material, with barns bursting and contracts let for larger storehouses, alters its attitude, of patronizing toleration toward the ministry of the church and returns to that ministry with a moral and financial support commensurate with what is expected of a well-bred, high-purposed, independent preacher of the gospi-l. a support given not as a pitiful charity, hut as the paymer a first lien on all that that laymanship is and has." In summing up this impugning of the laymc-n, he says that in all of his ministry lite "temporal contract" lias not been kept in a single instance. Even those who boast a "rating" in business treat their pastors as they wotld not dare treat their other creditors.

In a moment of resolution he wrote down in his diary that he would undertake no Christian work dependent upon the giv- ins of his constituents. In the seeond place, he determined to keep at his prcachh'ig, but as for a livelihood he must do as Cary, the cobbler, did; or as Paul, the tent-maker. He must depend upon scmething other than the gospel laborer's hire.

VISUAL rotiepomifntg of The Gazette Times nave expressed their perplex IU about the gospel. The rebukes rroin many pnlpits administered to a man who put 'away -bis wife for the sake of a mors youthful soubrette have been severly criticised as being untrue to the business -which Ciirist the preachers to do. The lining hearts are.

not beiupr nurtured with the pood nes that Jesus pave the world, but Instead the ministers of the Word appear t' take pleasure in going aiiid to on the topics of the day. With this as the specific gravamen the whole preaching oruer is put under the ban. The only thing lacking ia a definition of the gospel. And hi thi? respect the recent criticisms are like tho wnicU have gone before. To say just what on means by the tospoi is a very difficult achievement.

To be sure, it is true tnat in all of the higher interests of life the ability to recognize-' the good and the falre does not usually imply the labnity to tell why a is gvod false. lu in poesy, in in personality, it Is an intuitive gut in the average man to teii pretty accurately and promptly whether the oblect of his "review la pleasing and according to the inherent standard, although he may not know-how he reaches his conclusion. And yet the one leson hu-h men learn Is not to depend upon their own necessarily limited judgment, and still more not to pass adverse criticism until the subject hi hand 13 well understood. That ia the desideratum about the gospel. Men who give long and studious thought to the subject of the ministry of religion are very averse, It seems, to say that a given utterance or writing is not the Eosped.

The word r.ttans so much, its "history isi so inwoven with so many variant conditions, it has been ao differently interpreted by so many different advocates, that prudence alone requires much piltue'e and much mediation. With for example, to the case in that of a man whose office at the head of a great corporation makes him perhaps the most conspicuous figure in the business world today it is e-e- to be questioned whether, s.nce ia before the world, and since he And even in the forcrivlng of theen roy it i i-ier-esssarv to understand that the most effective forgiveness is not that which smooths over a wrone-doing but that which so reckons with evil that correction Is a result. In a broader aspect of this subject of the meaning of. the gospel, it may pror.t somewhat to compare the teaching of Jesus wuh that of his religious forebears, and the official precursor? of the religion of Christ. Some matters which were regarded sound and orthodox before he came were sent by him into retirement, it is always well to bear in mind that Jesus was a heretic, according' to the conservative persons who then jthe" boundless sympathy and scope of the I nig on tne tann ui uuuci I does not preach the everiasting gospei of the truth of Cod.

There are, T0 be sure, various degrees of truth, in point of their value to men, but to delimit arbitrarily and absolutely the gospel to any one set of opinions or tenets, and thus to call all else not the c-osnei is as ienorant as wicked. It Is i right here church people go into i the temple with narrow conceits concerning the. gospel, and if they do I nn Vipnr tbe message pruned to come prejudiced dogmatic and denominational phase, thev go abroad and manifest their impious and shrieveled lives by compian-ing about what thev hear. If it is true that all things human are Christian l.a wtn rinv it not pimply impossible- for a man to do other -than preach the gospel, so long as be tflts the tr-nth' Of course, as ia here indicated. there are some things which, because of their lack of immediate interest to people in general, do not belons to the pulpit.

But so far as the essential point is concerned, a man might profitably and justly take a theme of the most unusual kinda problem 5n calculus, an experiment in chemistry and give it to ids people. It is because more people are benefited by the intimate principles which Jesu gave for sood livinr tht the uuloit is concerned with these latter things, and not with the former. It is a species of bigotry, however, to regard for the righteousness, the lustice and the love of men as so utterly different from the other a if airs of life that the latter are given little or no respect. Wherever truth' is. there is the trojpel.

The measure of its utility determines its value and it is risrbt at" this point that the primaev of Jesus Is so firmly established. "Never "man soaks as he spake, because be knew the" truth which the whole world was more interested In than in any others. When he gave his little stor'es to the ueople, and to individuals now nnd attain, he never discounted the larger problems of learnir.e, of industry, of statecraft. But He knew that, whereas a message on specific and detailed affairs of state, for instance, would appreciated bv a hundred, the sermon on the mount would reach ten thousand. There is another-' phase of the gospel which Jeus established, which is not sufficiently annreclated In this time.

God i nnt a. deitv of sacred nlaoes. Every city is as holy ground as Jerusalem, and" God has no preferment as to His headquarters. Carried to its logical conclusion, this means that God is not more present in the churches than He is in any other place in the world. Long before there were churches thue was God and His truth.
