of which is to play for “safetv,’
the other—he must know howto

shall insist on the trimmings, as
we have before said, in ord^r that

The sheriff has been compelled to
dispossess the prisoners in jail of
their shoes. They got to taking
the springs from the soles of their
shoes and picking the jail locks
with them. They were discovered
before any of them escaped,
though, and now they will have
to do without shoes till the time
comes for their trial.

“Two of the imported Tennessee

not long since were attacked by a

State School Commissioner
Gleeu is preparing a lengthy re¬
port to present to the legislature
at its next session, in which he
proposes to show the exact status
of the public School system in the
state. We do not know how af¬
fairs look from Mr. Glenn’s office
in Atlanta, but from our point of
view down here it seems that the
whole business needs a thorough
renovation, even to the office of
State School Commissioner.

PAY YOUR PASTORS.
The Conference year is
passing away. In a little
the annual convocations will
gin to be held. It is a good
to speak a word in behalf of
faithful pastors who have
without stint to promote the
fare of their flocks. In ninety
ses out of a hundred the
assessed for their support are
ly sufficient to keep them in
fort. A deficit means
economy, and perhaps also
embarassment debt. What
you going to do about it? Is
your purpose te default? Can you
have an easy conscience and allow
the , solemn , obligations ... „. which ,
you
have voluntarily , , assumed to fail f
f f „ mllment , w „ beg ^ t0
consider ■ , duty , . the ,,
your m prenn
ses. One ^ hundred , , , dollars x ,, dis-trib
utm , , through a whole congregation
ora whole , , pastoral , , charge , will ,,
no ^ Le felt: but it it all falls-on
one- man, and he without anything
to t “ !?aw u P ou ’ he a heavy
burden. The lightaess in which
1!lall, y seemingly good people look
upon matters of this sort is dis
tress-nog. They have become so
niuc ^ used to taking.the bankrupt
act oc» their pastors that they ap
l ,eal to regard it a>s-a trifling-af
fair. But it is no* a trifling af
fair. The laborer is worthy of
his hire. Von wouM be ashamed
to deal so with th-> servants who
build your houses,pl-ow your shields,
and cook your food. And why
sliouVl you suppose-that you have
any moral right t i* disregsaurd the
clanaas of t hose who minister to
to you in holy thiags? There is a
great erv in every quarter for a
better ministry till we make am
pier provision for sustaining it.
A man with an empty pocket
and a dependent family connot
discharge his duties either to his
own satisfaction or to the satisfac
tiou of those over whom lie has
been put by the authority of the
Church. Oneo in awhile we hear
the old stingy cry that preachers
must learn to be self-denying. So
they must, and so, for the most
part, they are. But self-denial is
not a peculiarly clerical grace;
and no good reason can be offered
why ministers should possess a
monopoly of it. If need be, the
ambassador of Christ ought joy-
fully to consent to live on bread
and water in order to be able to
proclaim the glad tidings of salva¬
tion. In this country, however,
the circumstances do not often
require such action on his part.
A policy which encourages nar¬
rowness and illiberality in the
pews is not good for any body.
So we end where we began. Pay
your preacher every dollar that
you promised hii|), and dk> it in no
grudging fashion. They have com¬
municated to you in spiritual
things; do yon communicate to
him in temporal things. Kind
words will cheer their spirzte> hnt
kind words alone will not pay
their grocer’s bill, nor buy them
new clothes for Conference.—

Reports from Msrmon miss isos
