AN UNCERTAIN LIFE.
Tim MothodlHt MInlstor'a Clmiivea or
ItuHlilmioeaiul Salary Idler a Lottory,
Savannah Nows.
Barring tho wind and the action of a
petit jury, there itt perhaps nothing so
uncertain ntt the lifo and residence of a
Methodist minister, Thero in only one
thing of witiuh he cun be roasonubly
certain, and that is with good behavior
and satisfactory work he is liablo to re
tain his pastorate for tho period of ono
year. Beyond that he can see nothing
until the critical moment when the de
cision of tho bishop aod his cabinet is
announced.
(Salary and the cost of living is ono
thing about which he must not concern
himself. It will avail him nothing.
When the conference meets tho pastor
is there. He uttends to the business bo
fore him with all due regard for the se
riousness and importance of its nature,
but until tho secret session of the bish
op and his cabinet, composed of the
presiding elders of the various districts,
is over, and the appointments are an
nounced, he is absolutely in the dark
so fur as his next place of residence is
concerned, and place of residence car
ries salary with it, though, of course,
the ministers do not let that considera
tion enter into the question.
Years ago, before the matter was
placed in the hands of the congrega
tion, tho Metbodikt conference fixed
the salary of the ministers it appointed,
and they were all uniform. A minister
was allowed $160 a year and his board
if a single man, aud $300 and his board
if married. This was invariable and
applied to ull U10 charges, large and
small. For each child a minister was
alio wad $50 a' year in addition to tiio
above amounts. Now, however, tho
matter is left witli tiio church or tho
board of stewards of each church, uud
tiio Bttlary is pretty well determined
from year to year, and quite uniform.
Tho stewurds confer with tho pastor
and determine what iiis necessities will
require, and the congregation is assess
ed for tiiat amount for the pastor’s sal
ary. The size of a congregation and
its composition also cuts a figure in tho
rather tacit competition for places.
It is unnatural for even a minister to
put away all ambition, aud on tho size
of his salary depends, to some extent,
his opportunities for enlarging his use
fulness and knowledge. But this seems
to cut little figure with the bishop and
his cabinet.;it seems rattier bard to take
a pastor from a $1,600 or $2,000 position
where ho appears to have just enough
to supply his family with necessities
and conveniences, and exile him por-
haps to some country villiage where it
a heavy tax on the congregation to pay
$500. This is an extreme case, but
such things aro by no means infrequent
and there is no saying no. Tho decis
ion of the bishop and his cabinet is
law. By these changes it happens
every year that some of the ministers
are sent to pastorates where their sal
ary is $500 less than it was the year be
fore, and some other minister may reap
tko benefit of .the change and receive a
like increase. And yet a Methodist
minister will tell you there has never
been known a case where one of them
complained about the matter of salary.
And why should they? It would ac
complish nothing, if they ever say
anything about these changes among
themselves it is only in so far as their
ambition to serve one of the foremost
chargee in the district is eoncerned, and
few of them have anything to say about
this.
The lget of the conference is said to
be the supreme moment in the life of a
Methodist minister. The supreme mo
ment eomee once a year, and no doubt
it is a time that brings many silent
fears and doubts. The bishop and his
cabinet are in session until late in the
evening. ▲ member of the cabinet
mar have promised a pastor that ha
shall retain his charge, or be given a
hotter one. That cuts no figure, and
the cabinet does not seem to hold itself
bound to consider promises. They file
in before tho assembled pastors aud in
terested members of tho church, nnd
after a long secret session their decis
ions and appoiDtmeuts are publicly an
nounced.
It is said that politics cuts a big figure
in a Methodist conference, especially in
the secret session of the bishop and his
cabinet. Titero is no direct evidence
of tho truth of this statement, but
when spoken of, the fact that certain
pastors always receive appointments to
the foremost charges in tho circuit, or
nro made presiding elders, is pointed to
significantly. "How do they manage
it?” some will ask, ‘‘unloss it is by in
fluence?” and it may bo that, thoy speak
witli some reason.
Then, too, when a pastor goes before
a conference his record must be clonr.
His work for tho past year must bo
satisfactory, his moral record uncloud
ed, aud ho must, be free from debt. No
matter whether or|not the congregation
lias failed to keep its part of the verbal
contraot and raise tho stated salary,
the pastor who would receive another
appointment must have no debt to any
one hanging above him. lie must enter
his now charge untrammolod and with
out obligations. If these conditions
are not complied with ho is not consid
ered by the conference.
No pastor can retain any charge to
which ho is appointed for more titan
four yours. Aftor that time ho must,
under the laws of tho church, bo chang
ed. It muy be, liowevor, that ho will
bo given ono of equal importance and
dignity, but this is by no itieuns cer
tain. Some say that if ho lias influence
ho can circulato around tho largest and
most important charges in tiio circuit,
but, otherwise, he must take his chan
ces, which are at best, a lottery, or,
what is more apropos, liko tho church
grnb-bng.
The Diamond Industry.
Tho discovery and working of the
great South African mines lias oner
mously increased the production of dia
monds. During tho past quarter of a
century ten tons of those gems, soiling
for $800,000,000 uncut, and for $000,000,
000 after cutting, have been added to
the world’s wealth. This quantity of
stones is twice us groat as tho sum toral
of all that were known to exist before,
the value represented being in tho most
concentrated possible form. A single
corporation contains more than nine
tenths of the entire world’s output of
diamonds, owning practically the whole
of tho mines in South Africa. Thus it
is euahlod to regulate and maintiiiu
prices, restricting tho production so
that the supply may not exceed tho di -
mand. Up to date it Inis placed upon
Lite inarkm iiboiu 2,800,000 carat«. Dur
ing the year it (ini' and sold $10,000,000
worth of diamonds. During 1803 din
monds to tho value of about $16,000,000
wore imported into this country. Since
1808 $176,000,000‘worth of those gems
have boon brought into tho United
States. Tho cutting of diamonds is car
ried on in the United States by (iftoon
linns, employing 150 cutters, cleavers
and polishers. Tito American public
demands a much higher quality of cut
ting than is required by European mar
kets. At tho sltrno time less is paid for
tho work It ore than abroad, $2 being
considered fair wages per diem. The
pioneer cutter on this side of tho water
was Henry D. Morse of Boston. In
1800 he cut tho famous Dewey diamond
—tho biggest gum of the kind ever
found in this country—which was dug
out of a clay bank near Richmond,
weighing twonty livo carats in tho
rough. In his shop was invented the
first diamond-cutting muchino, which
mudo it possible to do the work faster
and with more precision. It has not
been adopted abroad to any extent as
yet. Amsterdam, tho great center of
diamond-cutting, has seventy-two fuc
tories engaged in that industry, Tho
largest employs 1,000 hands. Next in
importance is Antwerp. Ldndon ranks
tliird. Jn the world there aro 0,500
cutters of diamonds and 8,000 doalors.
The latter carry in stock $360,000,000
worth of stones, representing probably
one-third of all the diamonds possessed
by human beings to-day.
“There is a tree which grows in Mad
agascar called the ‘Travelers’ ITree’
which is of the greatest service to the
tired and thirsty travelers in that
tropical climate," said i’rof. Wilbur G.
Stebbins, of Richmond. “This won
derful tree has no branch 38, the leaves
growing from the trunk and spreading
out like the sections of a fan. These
leaves, of which there are generally
not more than twenty-four on each
tree, are from six to eight feet in
length and from four to six]feet broad.
At the base of each leaf is a kind of
cup containing about a quart of cool,
sweet water. The natives save them
selves the trouble of climbing the trqfij
by throwing a spear, which pierce* the
leaf at the spot where the water ifl
stored. The water thee Hows down
into the vessel held beneath it. and the
traveler is enabled to continue his
journey, cheered and refreshed by the
precious liquid nature has so kindly
provided tor his use.”
What Flags Signify.
Outlook.
Flags are not merely so many yard#
of silk. They represent to a soldier
what is noblest id his country’s history
and institutions. Their lose, under cir
cumstanced short of heroic, is an eter
nal disgrace to the regimont losing
them. Only death can excuse tho col
or-guard from defending them, and
when tho gu«rd has boon shot or cut
down others should bo ready to stnnd
by tho flag. In the navy a vossel nov-
or strikes her colors except to acknowl
edge a defeat.
For this reason when in that great
sea duel between Paul .loves’ llonhom-
mie Richard and the English Serapis,
which lasted far into the night, tho en
sign was Rhot away front tho halyards.
Lieutenant Stafford plunged Into the
sou after it, and braving a double
death—lie was in fact wounded while
swimming—saved it and sot it again,
and it wur the Serapis which finally
struck. Tho Cumberland went down
in Hampton Hoads with colors flying,
and when recently the old Keitrsarge,
which sent the Alabama to the bottom,
struck on Honcndor Beef, in tho Carib
bean Sea and Iter crow was obliged to
take to the boats, tho ensign was left
fluttering in tho breeze.
Next to our own flag, that of Great
Britain interests us most. It is chllod
tho “union” flag bocauno it is throe
flags in ono. The flag of England is a
red eross on a white Held; that of Scot
land, a whitest. Andrew’s cross on a
bluo field. These tings were combined
whnn England and Scotland united in
1088; and on the union with Irolnnd,
the Irish flag, a red St, Andrew’s cross
on a white Hold, was added. Tho un
ion of the three countries is thus indi
cated on tho “union." Tho St. (ioorgo’t
cross of England remains as before,
and is the central feature of tho flag,
dividing it into four quarters occupied
by tho St. Andrew’s crosses, tho whito
of Scotland and the red of Ireland,
which are placed side by shin.
Aboard a British warship the
“union” is hoisted or ly when the
Queen or an admiral is aboard. En
glish *hlpa sail under the British en
sign, of which thero are three kindn~
white, blue and rod— ouch with tho un
ion in n square in the upper part of the
hoist, that portion of tho flag along the
staff. The navy, and, by special per
mission, tiio Boyai Yacht Club, sail un
der tho white ensign, which has, be
sides the union, tho red cross of St.
George over the whole. The bluo en
sign is a .privilege allowed to those
merchant ships which are officered by
members of the Naval Reservo and one-
third of whoso crows belong to the re
serve. It is also flown by a fow yacht
clubs. Tito red iH tho merchantman’s
ensign. Until 1804 the British naval
fleet was divided into tlireo squadrons,
each in command of an admiral, who
was known by tho color of his flag as
the "admiral of the blue,” the “admi
ral of tho red" and tho "admiral of the
whito.” This distinction was abol
ished because it was found puzzling in
action and was often eliminated.' Tra
falgar, for instance, was fought under
the white ensign. Tho French and
■Spanish ships went into action without
setting their colors, but wore later
obliged to hoist them so as to bo able
to strike thorn.
